“Cassandra was exceptional! She was thorough, thoughtful and considerate. She took superb care of my beloved pups and my house while I was away. I can’t recommend Cassandra highly enough!”
“Holly is a brilliant sitter! Looked after my dog like she was her own, plenty of updates throughout my time away, and left the house neat and tidy. Thanks Holly!”
“Brianna did a fantastic job of sitting with my crazy pups! One of them can be fear aggressive (bluffs a lot) and Brianna was great with her. So great I got a picture of them cuddling on the sofa the first day! The other pup is super people shy and warmed to Brianna immediately. When she didn't want to eat (which I warned about), Brianna reached out immediately for ideas on how to get her to eat. She didn't wait! I really appreciated that. I gave her a couple of suggestions and she got her to eat! Brianna is fearless and conscientious. She clearly loves pet sitting. I highly recommend her!”
“Margaret was wonderful! She was kind, reliable, and professional. She followed all care instructions to the T. She communicated throughout her stay and sent lots of photos. And she left my home spotless and well looked after. I would be glad to have her hang with my pups any time!”
“Jessica was fantastic with our dog and two cats. Her dog Ernie is a sweetheart and fit right in with the crew. She was great at communicating and sent lots of fun updates. We would definitely hire her again!”
“We appreciated Nicole’s attentiveness with our pups, updates and photos, and knew our dogs were so well cared for while we were gone for Thanksgiving.”
“Jasmin was amazing house sitting for my four little crazies! Sent regular photos, was great with communication and went above and beyond making sure she could do everything she could to care for and keep them happy! Was very respectful of home and property!”
“Megan was fantastic with our cats. She sent great updates and photos and we were confident that they were being well cared for. Would definitely book again!”
“Erica has quickly become our big guy’s new best friend! She is great with our pups, filling their high needs of love and attention, and sends regular updates while we’re away.”
“We have two dogs, and they both have some quirks (including one dog that barks for awhile before warming up to a new person), but Ian handled them with a lot of patience and care. He also kept us updated with some pics. I would definitely recommend - I felt at ease on vacation knowing they were in good hands.”
“Robin and Ahmed are truly amazing people!! We are so blessed to have found them on Rover. They took exceptional care of our dog Bandit. They sent pictures and kept us updated on how he was doing…they even picked us up from the airport when we returned! We highly recommend them to take care of your pet!!!”
“As always, our fur babies loved having Clair around while we were out of town. Clair is always loving and caring with our pets. We will always recommend her as she truly loves and cares for all animals.”
“Dena is great! She house sat for me and took care of my kitty and golden retriever. She is very sweet and was on time, very communicative and left my house pristine. I'll definitely use Dena again!”
“Elsbeth was great with Gus! He tends to be a bit nervous on walks but she still worked with him and sent me updates on how he was doing. Also, came back to a clean home which is greatly appreciated after a long trip!”
“Daniel was a lifesaver. We had our puppy Chaos get Kennel Cough and was not allowed to go to our usual boarding facility. I found Daniel the day before we were scheduled to fly out for a long weekend. He stopped over and met our pup and showed up the next day and stayed at the house with the Chaos for three nights. Chais seemed to really like Daniel. We would definitely use Daniel again (hopefully not as last minute next time)”

Christine was amazing! I was nervous with Mouse being a recent rescue but at our meet and greet she immediately put us both at ease. She had such a calming presence and handled him effortlessly even though I think he might be taller than her on his hind legs! She had no problem managing his reactivity on walks and him needing constant attention and her to be at the apartment the majority of the time. I could tell when I got back that she had been consistent with the training I was doing and he was progressing in it during her stay! Christine was also so flexible and helpful when my flight was cancelled and I struggled to get back because of the ice storm. She still got him out to play and took such great care of him. I can’t say enough how amazing she is! My only critique would be that she doesn’t charge enough for the exceptional level of service she provides! Thanks Christine! :)
Christina was so good with Bella, my German Shepherd Dog!! Bella is very protecive and can be very wary of new people, but she just loved Chrisitina from the very first moment they met!! I had another sitter booked with another service and they just dropped off without warning or notice. So I was able to book with Christina even though it was very short notice with zero uncharge!! The house was in great shape and Bella was so very happy and well cared for! I will be using her again for sure!!
Cassie was absolutely amazing with our old rescue!!!! We had a family wedding to go to out of town then got hit with the snow storm and she stayed an extra day to make sure our girl was taken care of and communicated so well that I didn’t have to stress at all about the situation. Honestly we couldn’t be more grateful for her taking her time to understand our dog and take care of her.
Joanna was fantastic. She is a very calm person and took excellent and thorough care of our dog and cats! She is responsible and asked the right questions to understand the care she needed to give. Everyone was happy and I came home to tidy and clean litter box and house. Hoping to have her more going forward!
Jeana is awesome. She takes such good care of our two dogs and two cats. And we have a special-needs dog with seizures and she handles him with such professionalism, giving meds, comforting him, and keeping in touch with us when it happens. We couldn’t ask for a better pet sitter.
JULIA IS THE BEST!! She is always able to handle any situation that may arise and puts our minds at ease that our kitties are so safe and cared for while we are gone. We got lovely updates with cute pictures of our little ones :) She left our home clean and respected and I know our cats are happy too!! We would ALWAYS recommend Julia as a pet sitter!
