“Rochelle took great care of Ollie. My mind was at rest because I could tell he was in good hands. He was happy when I returned and I could tell he liked her very much. I’m already booked with Rochelle for my next trip and I feel secure knowing that my dog and I know her.”
2. Carol K.
“10/10 would recommend! It can be a hit or miss finding a reliable sitter. I was sad when my old pet sitter moved away but then I found Carol! First and foremost Carol obviously cares about the well-being and comfort of your pets. She checks off all my boxes of what I look for in a sitter and it also helps that she sends cute updates and pics throughout the day. When I got home my place was as I left it and most importantly my dog and two cats were calm, as if I never left. I would definitely recommend Carol and I look forward to (hopefully) using her in the future!”
3. Tori E.
“Highly recommend Tori for you pet needs. She is extremely prompt in her responses. She sent pictures of the pets on her arrival to our home and then daily. She even sent a video. Our dog can be very nervous around new people but took right to Tori, putting our minds at ease while we were way. We will definitely be booking her again in the future.”
4. Marshe P.
“Just came home after our first time using Rover for our 8 year old puppy, who is a ball of energy. Marshe was awesome! She is so nice and a great communicator. Cosmo really liked her too! He loved all of her attention and playtime; she really let him burn off his energy while house sitting. Cosmo is sleeping like a little baby and is happy as clam. 😀”
5. Alona T.
“Alona watched over my two dogs while I was away on a work trip, and she was great with communicating/sending updates with cute pictures. She was also flexible and understanding when timing needed to change a little, and asked great questions during our neet and greet. Definitely would recommend her and will be asking her to stay with them again!”

“Corinne is awesome! My dog has bad anxiety and she did SO well with her. Corinne is super flexible and even offered to stay a bit later to hangout with Maggie when she found out I wouldn’t be home for a bit. Corinne also gave my dog her usual meds with no problem at all. She followed every direction I left for her! We cannot wait to have her walk Mags again.”
