1. Nicole Y.


“As a fellow Rover sitter, I cannot recommend Nicole enough. 12 hrs into my trip, one of my dogs tried to befriend an angry groundhog in my yard and was attacked in her face. Nicole took amazing care to follow my emergency instructions, spent hours with her at the emergency vet, and followed the vet’s instructions for how to care for her wounds, including giving her medicine. My worst nightmare happened while away, and Nicole was communicative, caring, and thoughtful during this crisis. She took amazing care of my pets while I was gone, with frequent photos and text updates. She is a fantastic find, and I’m so lucky and grateful that she was there to care for my pets!”


2. Layne B.

“Layne did an awesome job! She sent me pictures and updates that made me feel so much better about leaving Bella. I definitely plan to continue to book with her!”


3. Marilyn C.

“Marilyn was winderful - really easy to talk to and work with. She took care of my senior Shih Tzu for two nights and was great at accomodating her routine and quirks. Marilyn kept me updated with frequent messages and photos, which I really appreciated. I felt totally at ease leaving my dog with her, and the weekend was stress-free.”


4. Rafael M.

“Rafael took great care of Lucy over a long weekend. He also cared for the home really well and was very responsible. He kept me in the know everyday and shared photos. He also took it upon himself to clean up right before the end of his stay. Overall a great experience for both Lucy and for us.”


5. jackie M.

“Jackie is amazing- I asked her to watch Tucker very last minute, and she was SO accommodating. She sent so many pictures/videos of Tucker and he absolutely loved her!! I will definitely book with her again!”


6. Olivia E.

“This was our first time having Olivia for an overnight stay. Everything was great! Olivia did a great job with our pets and they warmed up to her quickly. Everything was as expected upon our return. We would happily have Olivia back to house sit for us again.”


7. Hannah C.

“My dog is friendly, but standoffish. Hannah had her cozy up to her in minutes. She took her on the number of walks I requested and fed her as directed. She was also very good with my cat. When I came back the house was just as I had left it. I will have her dog/cat sit again.”


8. Ariana B.

“Ariana was amazing! We have two “tricky” dogs and Ariana was so incredibly kind and patient with them. She was super responsive and sent us sweet updates. We were able to relax on vacation knowing they were in great hands. Highly recommended.”


9. Randa C.

“Randa always finds a way to go above and beyond in her care for our pets. She puts the pets’ needs above everything else and is a great communicator, so we have no stress when we are out of town!”


10. Autumn G.

“Autumn was very responsive to my booking request and was nice enough to come to the house and meet the dogs prior to the booking. She seemed to do well with the dogs and was a very respectful houseguest. All in all a great experience”


11. Jordan V.

“Jordan was very communicative, willing to do a meet, and greet, and helpful with our dog’s medical needs while watching her. She provided frequent updates with pictures and gave us peace of mind while away. Thank you, Jordan!!”


12. Terri I.

“Terri took great care of our dog and provided timely updates and photos. She made sure to take good care of our house while we were traveling. We hope to use her in the future”


13. Elizabeth K.

“Elizabeth was wonderful. She kept me updated on my boys, sent pics, brought in packages, and the house was probably cleaner than when I left. Amazing care!”


14. Heather B.

“Heather filled in with short notice after our booking was canceled. She braved the cold and took great care of our boys and our home. We will certainly want to book Heather in the future.”


15. CT F.
About: Since I was 10, I was walking, bathing, and even potty-training my own dogs, as well as taking care of my neighbors' dogs. I have also groomed and bathed, as well as taken care of (and owned) cats for just as long. Then at the age of 14-18, I worked at the humane society where I cleaned kennels and cages, played with pups and kitties, took them on walks, overall just ensured they had the best attention and care they deserved. I'm a full-time college student, but I can board anytime. My studying also will not derive any of my attention away from your little companions. Given I have an unfenced yard, I'll be sure to take your furry companions outside, ideally with a leash or harness to ensure maximum safety. In terms of boarding though, I'll ensure nothing of harm is in their proximity (food, cords, choking hazards) and that all their needs and comfort spaces are accessible to them whenever they'd like.


16. Meaghan G.

“This is the second time that Meaghan has stayed with our dog. She is amazing! She sent regular updates with photos, was great with communication, and took such great care of our dog while we’re were away.”


17. Lynn Z.


“Lynn took great care of Hutch while we were away. She sent us pictures, videos & texts. She kept him busy with fun walks, training games & snuggles. We came home to a very clean house & happy boy! We appreciate her care & kindness!”




18. Stephanie & Andre M.


“Stephanie & Andre were fantastic! We went out of town for a week and Steph and Andre took care of our house and 1.5 year old pup. They were both very professional and kept us in the loop with photos and daily updates which were greatly appreciated. They were very caring and patient with our pup who was anxious and spent many hours hiding during the first day. They were accommodating of our pup’s dietary needs and left our house in great condition! We would highly recommend and would love to have them care for our pup in the future.”




19. Katharyn C.

“Katharyn was incredible. She watched our dog and cat and sent tons of photos, was a dream with communication and left the house in perfect shape when we came home. I was so nervous because this was my first time leaving the pets and house, but after day 1 I was at complete ease and able to focus on my work trip! Will definitely rebook!”


20. Joshua R.


“Josh was absolutely awesome - wish I could give him more than 5 stars! He was so nice and flexible when I had to change my plans around. Josh really went the extra mile in making sure our Diesel was well taken care of while we were away. A big thank you to Josh - he will be my first call the next time we need to go out of town with our best boy :)”
