Rima took care of Bear while we attended a wedding. She was very communicative and made sure our little guy had a fun evening. I would definitely recommend and her style made Bear very relaxed and comfortable even though they had just met the one time. Thank you!

Tessa was amazing with our two hyper dogs! She was patient, kind, and communicative from start to finish. She definitely made us feel comfortable leaving our fur babies for a few days-sending pictures at least once a day! She even washed the bedding and towels before leaving which was so over and above what we ever expected of her. I highly recommend using her for any and all pet needs. We greatly appreciate all she did for us!

Christian was great to work with. I was using an in-home sitter for the first time for a two week trip. They spent extra time getting my nervous dog comfortable after a rocky first night! Lots of updates each day, brought in mail, took out trash, in addition to walking, feeding and hanging out with my dog. Would definitely recommend them for future needs!

This was our first time working with Jonathan as our pet/house sitter and it was a great experience. We were grateful that he was willing to stop by a second time before our trip so we could have the peace of mind that our dog would recognize him and be comfortable. He also sent us updates and pics every couple days and the house was just as clean as we left it. Couldn’t ask for more!

I would 100% recommend Diego. He did two overnights with my pit bull rescue without a lot of notice after another dog sitter (not from Rover) backed out. Diego was very responsive in all of our interactions. Ori is not a starter dog - so an experienced dog handler was needed. Diego managed every challenge including administering anti-seizure meds, and taking care to not have face to face encounters with other neighborhood dogs during her daily walks. Our house was also in tip top shape when we returned. I am very pleased with our experience.
