1. Natalie J.
“Natalie is the absolute best for our dog. We went for a week long trip and Natalie stayed in our home. Let me start off by saying that we came back to the house even better than we left it. Natalie kept us up to date and treated Tia and our house as her own. She made sure to clean up any and all messes. And cleaned up a mess from Tia’s accident better than even we could. She even went through our trashes and washed her own sheets. Natalie will be our go-to sitter going forward and highly recommend her to all”
2. Amy A.
“Amy was absolutely amazing. She stayed with my two dogs for a week in my home. My dogs are wary of strangers and can be a bit finicky as a result (extra chatty, Velcro-dog syndrome at times), and Amy took it all in stride. She was a good communicator that provided regular updates, and my dogs were very obviously happy with her being there. Will absolutely book Amy again!”
3. Victoria B.
“Victoria did a great job watching my two cats for a week! She was very communicative and the cats were very comfortable with her. I’d absolutely have her catsit again!”
4. Rachael B.
“Rachel was great and our pets loved her. She gave regular updates and was very responsive and adaptable. Would definitely book with her again.”
5. Jacqueline A.
“It was great working with Jackie! She was very communicative, gave attentive care to our sweet pup and respected our home during a house sit. Looking forward to working with her again!”
6. shalese j.
“Shalese is amazing! She made me feel super comfortable leaving my reactive dog for a few days and they got along so well! Will definitely book any time I need someone to watch my girl.”
7. Anastasia S.
“My wife and I are first time dog owners who recently got a puppy. Anastasia took care of him for an evening while we were away and did a fantastic job! Theo was so comfortable with her and the peace of mind knowing that he was safe and well cared for is all I could ask for. Will definitely be working with Anastasia again!”
8. Cynthia C.
“Cynthia is simply amazing. She managed our home and dog so well. She is very capable, communicated just the right amount. I hope we can book her again!”
9. Mishkat K.
“I highly recommend Mishkat as a care taker for pets. She was kind and took great care of my dog, I had no concerns while knowing she was in her care.”
10. Emma L.
“Emma was great! She was very communicative (and quick to respond) and followed all my instructions. I can tell my pup had a great time with her and i will definitely add her into my rotation of sitters”
11. Alana C.
“Alana was wonderful. She was responsive, thoughtful, and reassuring with our initially anxious shepherd cross- overall a great Rover find. We've already booked her for another stay!”
12. Shelby U.
“Shelby took care of my dog Xavier at our hotel while we were traveling in Boston. She was very attentive and communicative and I got lots of photos. I would definitely recommend her as a sitter.”
13. Caesar G.
“Cesar was great. He was punctional, responsible, and great with our two month old puppy. Would recommend and will hire again.”
14. Nathan G.
“Nathan was fantastic with my dog. My dog can be reactive with other dogs and I'm particular about his care/environment, but I could tell Nathan went above and beyond familiarizing himself with my dogs needs and set up. They seemed to have bonded and my dog got new experiences and adventures! He left my home clean and was considerate in all interactions. I'm glad to have found Nathan for my dog and will book again.”
15. Leigh R.
“Leigh was absolutely wonderful with our old girl! We will definitely be using her again for any future needs. Our girl had a great time and Leigh followed all of our instructions as our old girl does have some needs. Thank you so much Leigh!!”
16. Victoria T.
“Victoria had immediate chemistry with our pup and is very communicative!”
17. Sunisa T.
“The best! Tater always has such a good time. Sunny always checks in with us and let us know how he’s doing….And leaves her house in perfect condition. Very thankful to have found her.”
18. Camilla M.
“This wasn’t the first time Camilla took care of my dog and it won’t be the last! Camilla is wonderful with my dog, a great communicator and always pleasant. I am able to travel with peace of mind knowing Camilla is taking care of my dog.”
19. Isla H.
“Isla stayed with our elderly dog Trudy for one week while we were on vacation. She had to manage some extra meds and TLC for our pup who came home from a two night stay in the animal hospital on the same day that we were leaving for vacation- a stressful situation for us- her nervous parents. Isla was calm and nursed our Trudy so that she was eating and feeling better by the time we returned home. Isla sent plenty of updates to assure us that Trudy was recovering fine at home. We would definitely recommend Isla for pet sitting - she is calm, responsible and trustworthy.”
20. Aubrey E.
“She was a wonderful sitter and took amazing care of our dog! She sent sweet photos and was incredibly responsive! She even stopped by before to get to know our dog to make sure she'd be comfortable with her!”
