“Renee was lovely. She seemed to have a visceral, almost immediate rapport with my dog, Romeo. Perhaps because she wasn’t glued to a smartphone or distracted by any screen whatsoever, Renee responded promptly to my queries and communications. A very unusual scenario these days I think. Her opinions and observations stemmed from years of experience and success in the field and were a comfort to hear. I would gladly hire her again.”
“Claudia was extremely generous with her time on short notice to watch my high-energy pup. She was extremely communicative, and went above and beyond to check in with updates and activities. I came home to a very content dog! Book with confidence.”
“She was terrific watching my dog and two cats while I was away! It helped me to enjoy my vacation even more knowing that they were being so well taken care of! She kept me updated and sent plenty of pictures.”
“We would highly recommend Katie to stay with your pet! Our dog, Karma, immediately liked her. Her communication is wonderful! We got daily updates and pictures. Plus, when our travel home was delayed Katie was very helpful and stayed longer than we had originally talked about.”
“Mansa took great care of our pup and our home. She kept in touch while we were gone (sending along pics and updates), and we came back to a happy pup!”
“Caroline is an absolute gem! She was communicated clearly and frequently and treated our two (not so easy to handle) boys, as well as our home, with the love and care as if they were her own. She was patient and kind and joyfully followed our care instructions. I can't recommend Caroline enough! Congratulations, Rover, you've found your number 1 sitter!”
“Writing a 2nd review for the extra day we had to add on the back end of our trip due to train delays—because I really can’t overstate how helpful Karuna was during that time! She answered right away, locked in the extra day quickly, and stayed in touch that evening and throughout the next day to make sure our pets received the care they need. After the stress of the delays, it was such a relief to come home to our apartment in perfect order and our pets in high spirits!❤️”
“Highly recommend Kylee! She is very friendly, organized, reliable and took wonderful care of our three dogs while we were out of town. Kylee sent us a few updates daily and sent pictures to give us peace of mind. The house was also kept nice and neat! We look forward to having Kylee housesit in the future!”
“Pam did a great job staying at my house with my 4-yr-old miniature poodle while I was away. I could tell when I got back that he had a really fun time with her, and he had been super well cared for. She sent lots of adorable photos, too. I would definitely hire her again!”
“In over 30 years of using boarding and pet sitters, Ariel is the GOAT, the boys completly loved her and they already miss her. Ariel was prompt, respectful, informative and left the house in better condition then when we left(which we don't expect). We could go on, but is was a honor to get to meet her. She has our permission to give our numbers to anyone who wants a more detailed review. Thank you Ariel Christina and Steven”
“Carolina was just awesome! She was caring and kind to all the pups. She took extra care for the smallest pup who is very sensitive. She is responsible, responsive, very reliable and great communication skills. The pups were very comfortable with her right away as they can sense a warm caring animal lover. I felt super comfortable with her taking excellent care and being present for them. She stayed with them and I super appreciate all her time and effort to make everyone comfortable and cozy. Great Big Thank You Carolina!”
“Zoe was absolutely wonderful! Immediately when our pups did a meet and greet with her, they felt comfortable and at ease with her. Both of our pups can be a bit nervous around new people so this was impressive! She communicated and sent photos often during the trip and it was clear our pups were enjoying their time with her. The house was left clean and she even brought our packages inside for us. We look forward to booking with Zoe again!”
“Tanay was great with our dog! Marshal warmed up to him really quickly and was even snuggling with him on the couch on day 2 and he’s not a super snuggly dog. Tanay’s easy going nature helped put me and my fiancé at ease with leaving him with someone other than family for the first time. He sent us pics and updates most days we were gone and made sure to text us with any questions he had. I would definitely recommend Tanay for house and pet sitting.”

Lizzy is the absolute best! From the beginning I knew my pup was going to be in good hands. She was responsive, communicative, trustworthy, and most importantly loves animals. Lizzy was more than capable of handling my 80lbs malinois, Lilah, which gave me the peace of mind I needed throughout my international trip. Prior to her stay, Lizzy made sure she understood all of Lilah's care requirements and I received updates and photos of playtime and their walks throughout her stay. Not only did I come home to a happy and very well cared for dog, Lizzy left my house in perfect condition. I could not recommend a better dog sitter, Lizzy is amazing!
Erica was very sweet with our Boston Terrier, Gilligan. She came over twice before the stay to make sure both she and Gilligan felt comfortable, which we really appreciated. She was understanding of his anxiety and willing to work within his routine, including his medication schedule. She was communicative while we were away and made sure he was fed and cared for. Thank you for taking care of our pup!
Renee took great care of my dog and two cats! No issues while she was staying at my residence. I read through some of the other reviews and had initial concerns, but after the meet and greet and her stay I would highly recommend. She cleaned the house, and made sure to follow instructions to a tee. Great job Renee, we will be using you again!
Anna was wonderful to work with! She took great care of our dog Theo while we were away for a long weekend. She was incredibly responsive, reliable, and attentive to Theo’s routines, and sent plenty of updates to let us know he was having a good time. We hope to book with Anna again in the future!
Jena provided top notch love and care for our 75 lb Pitbull. She went above and beyond in every regard and exceeded all expectations. After traveling quite a bit over the past 7 years and using dozens and dozens of Rovers, I can confidently say this was the best experience we’ve had. We needed someone in a pinch for 10 days overnight after having a few of our go-to sitters become unavailable. We were SO fortunate to find Jena and will now be going to her for all of our dog sitting needs. If you’re looking for a reliable, professional, and respectful person to your pet, contact Jena asap. I would refer her to every one of my friends and family with full confidence - she gets our highest recommendation. Oh final point, we even came home to a spotless house after being away for 10 days!! 10/10 on the following: -Following instructions meticulously -Communication and updates -Kindness & Respect -Professionalism -Genuine love and care for our pet (tons of quality time together)
Daytona was amazing with my senior fur babies! I booked her last minute for a week, and she was so kind, attentive, and communicative the entire time. She truly cared for them like they were her own, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful sitter!
Catarina was a wonderful dog sitter! Punctual, communicative, and very interested in making sure she understood exactly what we were looking for when caring for Strudel. She asked great questions, sent great pictures, and took him for lots of great walks, perfect for our high energy puppy to get his exercise. Would not hesitate to recommend her!
Al took care of my car and dog for one night, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the very beginning, he was thoughtful, professional, and asked all the right questions during our meet and greet to really understand their routines and needs. He followed their schedule closely, was incredibly thorough with updates, and sent LOTs of photos. As a star pet sitter myself, I know how hard it can be to find someone you truly trust with your fur babies —and Al absolutely earned that trust. He was kind, attentive, and clearly cares deeply about the pets he looks after. I would not hesitate to book him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate sitter!
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! :)
Timothy was wonderful! He was very responsive and would proactively send updates and cute pics of my pup, Frankie. He was thorough and asked questions to ensure he understood her needs and typical routine. I could tell Frankie had a good time with him. I look forward to having Timothy watch her again in the future.
Laura did a great job caring for my dog and cat while we were out of the country. She was willing to come to a meet and greet, and I felt like my elderly dog with lots of needs was in good hands. She was very communicative and I would definitely book with her again.
