“Andrew was so great! He came to meet our puppy before the first sit which we really appreciated. He also made sure to send updates and pictures while we were away and we felt very comfortable leaving our pup with him. We will be happy to have him come back, and I’m sure Peanut will as well!”
“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”
“Carly was wonderful stepping in last minute to watch my dog for the week. She took great care of Lyra and handled her dog reactivity effortlessly. Carly was communicative throughout the sitting and always sent updates and pictures. I highly recommend her for any petsitting needs!”
“Wonderful! Prompt, kind, left house in great shape. We found our big spaniel sleeping in the couch with Neil while he was just hanging and watching TV. Clearly our dog was very comfortable with Neil!”
“Shalese was a perfect dog sitter!! It was the first time my partner and I were leaving our high energy/anxiety pups with a sitter on River, and Shalese relieved all our own anxieties! She was very professional, clean, and clearly cared so well for our dogs as they are both still pooped from walking and playing with her! She did extra work than was even asked of her such as managing our home (cleaning, bringing in mail), and we are so grateful. We highly recommend Shalese to anyone and would book her again!”
“Victoria was a great dog sitter! She was able to accommodate my last minute request. I felt very comfortable with her watching my large dog while I traveled. She asked lots of important questions during our meet and greet and followed my instructions closely. She provided daily updates with pictures, which ensured me my dog was getting the best care! Her communication was great and I appreciated that she left my house clean for when I returned. Will definitely have Victoria sit for me again in the future!”
“Aaron did a great job dogsitting our pup, Henry, during the workday. Great communication throughout!”
“Thank you Kathleen for taking such good care of our dog and cats on such short notice. It gave us such peace of mind and look forward to future stays!”
“Martin was great with our two dogs and one cat. He was very communicative and was patient when one of my dogs was not allowing him to put on his harness. He kept trying and was successful eventually. There was a misunderstanding the first night about staying over but Martin addressed it and all was well for the rest of the visit.”
“Natasha is wonderful. Responsible and a true dog person.”
“Great first experience with Rover! Jolene was terrific!”
“Erica is so nice and was great with my puppy! She was also available to meet on short notice and she was very responsive to texts- I would highly recommend her for anyone needing dog sitting!!”
“Sabine was great petsitting my dog and cat while I was away a long weekend which was a first for us - and it went very well. Dog and cat are young with lots of energy but love affection as well. Sabine did a great job with their needs and kept me updated every day. She left the house the same as I had left it. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and experienced caregiver for their pet(s). Thanks again!”
“Jasmina took great care of our pup at our house. She was communicative and left the house in great shape. We could tell she was very attentive with our dog and cared about her needs/ behavior.”
“Ryan was one of, if not the best, dog sitter we’ve ever had! He was responsive when I had a question or request, communicative with check-in dog pictures and updates, and extremely kind and caring towards us and our pups. One of our dogs, Comet, can be reactive, and not only was Ryan knowledgeable and aware with how to interact with our pup, he was patient and sweet towards him. We’ve felt anxious with previous dog sitters, but with Ryan, we truly had no worries, because we knew our dogs were in great hands. We are looking forward to having Ryan watch our dogs, Comet and Alfie, again in the near future!”

Olivia was excellent and took great care of both my pup and my home. She followed my instructions to a t, sent a lot of very cute updates, and was super communicative. I’ll be booking her for the future!
Kennady exceeded our expectations. This was our first time having someone stay with our two dogs, which we were a little nervous about. Our week could not have been better. Kennady was extremely professional and polite, and updated us with photos everyday like we asked. She went above and beyond for us and left our home spotless and I know our dogs can’t wait to have her here again. We will be using Kennady’s services going forward and are very happy we found her.
Jacqueline is a relaxed and kind petsitter. We came home to our home in perfect con dition and our dog well cared for. Thank you!
Ryan took excellent care of Ladybird while I was out of town. He was very communicative and responsive to any messages.
Cannot recommend Claire more, always so good with my pets (dog and cat), goes above and beyond every time!
May watched our two pugs, for a long weekend, which was no small feat, as one is a puppy with puppy energy. Our pugs loved her! She followed the routine that we left and gave us updates. She also left our house spotless, as if no one had been there! May is an excellent dog sitter and we would definitely book with May again!
Rebecca took good care of our house and pup! I also appreciate that she took time to meet with us twice before dog/house-sitting and was easy to communicate with.
Ashtyn took great care of Panda, staying with him for two weeks while we were away. He took to her right away as we planned several walks before the trip so the transition worked quite smoothly. I recommend her highly :-)
Eunae is wonderful! She recently stayed a long-weekend with my active, 3.5 year old Australian Shepard and he completely fell in love. She was caring and attentive to my pup, while being so considerate of his routine and our home. She went the extra mile to even practice tricks and training, pull out his puzzles, and make it a fun, enriching environment for our dog. Eunae has excellent communication with us while we were out of town; we received photos and texts updating us on how the pup was doing multiple times a day. This was the first time I’ve left my dog in someone else’s care and I would trust Eunae again in a heartbeat. I can’t recommend her enough!
Shea was fantastic! I asked her to stay at my home to care for my cat, Zeema and pup, George. She came ahead of time to meet both of them. She is kind, caring and respectful and took excellent care of my pets and my home. She gave George nice long walks and sent pictures. I would definitely trust Shea in my home and to care for George and Zeema again!
Stacy did a wonderful job with Maple and Cocoa; the pictures she sent were super reassuring, and we came home to two dogs that were happy and clearly well cared for while we were away!
Neil is so sweet and a fast communicator. He kept Pebble safe and happy when we were away for a full day, and treated our house as if it were his own!
Lindy was wonderful with our super energetic pup! She left our house in great condition and was a good communicator. When she ran into an issue with Riley, she let us know it and how it was resolved. Would definitely have her watch Riley again.
Michael came and watched our year old puppy, Sadie, for a long weekend. It was very easy coordinating with Michael. She is an energetic pup! He did a great job caring for her. I would highly recommend Michael for future engagements - we will definitely reach out to him first next trip.
Catherine was amazing to work with - she is warm and friendly to both people and pets and communicated well. The house was just as we left it and the dog was clearly happy and well cared for upon our return. We would not hesitate to book with Catherine again, and would recommend her without reservation.
Paulina is an amazing sitter, great to come home to a happy pup. Extra attentive to the needs of our somewhat anxious, blind, senior dog!
Camryn was absolutely fantastic with Moose! She provided great updates and he was so happy hanging out and going on walks while I was away. I'm so greatful I could relax on my trip knowing she was caring for him :)
Helen is a lovely human being. Takes good care of our pets. I know, because they were not as eager to see us. I think they miss her. Highly recommend. Very responsible.
