“Having CJ watch our two Corgis was perhaps the best choice we could have made. While we were gone, Duke caught and broke a toenail while playing with his brother. CJ contacted us immediately and the ROVER Vet and then got Duke the care and attention needed from our local Vet. The care given by CJ was AWESOME. By the time we got home Duke was healed and running around the yard with his brother. We would be happy to have CJ watch our little guys again in the future.”


“My first time with a sitter other than my family..very hesitant..however I was so pleasantly surprised with Leigha..First of all..Lily loved her immediately..She is such a natural with pets..they did play time...potty breaks and walks....snacks...also love time...I immediately felt comfortable with Leigha....She is very calming and trustworthy.....and genuinely loves what she does....I will definitely use her again.?”

“Megan was a great pet and house sitter! She kept in touch with us and really seemed to spend a lot of time with our 4 pets! I would definitely rebook her!”


“Kyleigh took care of our post-op senior dogs over several days, and everything was wonderful. She gave them meds, removed the cones for meal time, and made sure they were snuggled and loved while we were away. We couldn’t have asked for a more responsible and respectful caregiver. Highly recommended!”


“Gracie was the absolute BEST with my babies all week. I did not have to worry about leaving them with her, she took the best care of them! It’s always hard leaving your pets when you go on vacation, but it makes it easier and more enjoyable when you have a dog sitter you can trust. I will definitely be rebooking with Gracie next time we go somewhere! I wouldn’t trust my babies with anyone else. She went above and beyond for all 3 of our dogs.”


“Abby has watched our dog a few times and has done an amazing job! She is caring, a good communicator, and takes great care of the house and yard as well! She always leaves the house as clean as we left it. Most importantly BB loves her. Our dog has some anxiety issues but is always so happy and stress free when Abby watches here. Abby is always our favorite dog sitter!”
