“Great sitter. Very friendly. Seems like my pup had a great time. Max is a pro dog sitter. Will book with him again. He asked good questions about dog related things that I forgot about”

“Malcomn was the best Rover we ever had. Would hire him back in an instance. He was respectful, responsive, communicative and took exceptional care of our puppy and cat for a long weekend. He sent great descriptions and photos every day. He sets the bar high for Rovers!”

“Diane is a gem! We have 2 Little Havanese pups and When she comes over, she sits on the floor so the dogs get comfy. She obviously loves dogs. We were traveling for 4 days and She sent us photos everyday with a short text of what they did. Also-when we got home -the condo was pristine. We will be happy to contract her again!”

“Christopher took such great care of our dog, Mochi. He kept us updated with thoughtful messages and great communication, which made it easy to relax while we were away. The best part was picking Mochi up and seeing how happy and comfortable he was. You could tell he was treated like family. It's not easy trusting someone with your dog, but Christopher made it feel effortless. We'd happily book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a caring, dependable sitter.”

“Katalina gave us great peace of mind watching our dog Avery. She gave regular updates and pictures of our pup, and she was clear and friendly in her communication. Such a professional who wants to make sure your fur baby is taken care ofb”


“Ashely is the best! We felt so comfortable with her at our home. Reese loved her and gave her kisses with in minutes of meeting her which is unheard of. She normally takes quite awhile to warm up to people as she is a rescue from an unfortunate situation.”


“Jai pet sat for my two cats and went above and beyond! She left the house cleaner than she found it, and accommodated their early feeding times/ medications, and sent detailed updates that were very much appreciated”

“Ruby did a fantastic job taking care of our pets and our home!! We came home to three very happy nuggets. I think she brushed them while we were away, since our (very large) dog’s coat is super shiny - and she even took out the trash before leaving! We had to extend our trip by 2 days for a family emergency, and she was incredibly flexible and was able to provide care for the additional 2 days. Ruby definitely went above & beyond, and we’d love to have her sit for our dog & 2 cats again any time!”

“Milly was great! She had great communication and took wonderful care of our dog and home. The entire process was very easy and we would be happy to her book again. Thanks Milly!”

“Dylan was a lifesaver when we had another cancellation at the last minute. He was professional and great with our senior pup. We'd definitely work with him again.”

“Faith showed up for every drop in and took my babies for walks. She kept an extra close eye on Neville because he’d just had a tooth extracted and was on a soft diet with pain meds. Faith patiently soaked his kibble and proportioned his wet food to go with it and I’m so grateful for that. She was great with my fur children.”


“Ian was SO incredibly kind. I have a Great Dane that is very needy & also very emotional. Ian made him feel like nothing changed when we left. Also the house looked like we never left when we returned. I cannot recommend him enough!!”

“Had a great experience with Tammy, who provided in-home dog-sitting for our two dogs while we were away for a couple of weeks. She was kind, professional, communicative, and took very good care of the fur babies. We returned to a tidy house and a couple of happy, healthy doggos. Will definitely ask her to sit for us again, and would recommend her to others!”


“Robin has house sit my dogs several times. My husband and I went on vacation earlier this week and she watched my dogs for 3 nights. She sends daily updates along with pictures and makes us feel at ease. When we arrived home from our vacation our house was clean and our dogs looked like they were well taken care of. We highly recommend Robin, We trust her with our dogs and our home.”
“Our dog Riley was so excited to see Destiny for a second stay. It is very comforting knowing your pet is happy to see the person watching them. Destiny is amazing. Everyone in the neighborhood who has met her, loves her! Highly recommend!!”

“Cheryl was on standby for a week but I was impressed that she was very interested in every aspect of my cats health, her feeding and play. She also spent the time to learn any issues in my apartment. I would definitely hire her again.”

Maribel was amazing! She was very communicative, great with my pets, and left our home spotless. My dog and both our cats were well taken care of. One of our cats is very shy and typically hides from sitters, however she quickly became comfortable with Maribel. I will definitely be booking with her in the future.

Kerlly took great care of our two senior dogs, including giving medication. She was very communicative and sent plenty photos and updates, so we got to see that our dogs did all of their favorite things. We would be very happy to have Kerlly watch our dogs again.

Our dog loves Grace! She is reliable, always keeps us updated with lots of pictures, and genuinely cares about our dog. He has some quirks that she patiently navigates and gives us peace of mind while we’re away. She did a fantastic job house sitting and we feel so lucky to have her help taking care of our dog!

Nancy was exceptional! She stayed with our dog who has separation anxiety and made us feel at ease while we were gone for the weekend. Her care was above and beyond. She gave us updates, sent pictures, and even went out of her way to do some training and enrichment activities with our dog. So glad that we found Nancy. She is the best!

Justice is a truly compassionate, conscientious and reliable sitter for our big Great Pyrenees. She has walked and house sat for us and has always been communicative and flexible and we have nothing but great things to say about how she’s helped us over the last few months. We cannot recommend her enough!

Alicia came to stay with our dog over the weekend and she was so wonderful! We were nervous to leave him behind for the first time, but Alicia was the perfect person to calm our fears and take care of him! She is truly an animal person - I could tell by how easily she connected with our dog from the moment she walked in. She sent daily check ins, photos and updates during the weekend as well! Will definitely be rebooking. Thank you again Alicia you’re the best!!

Sophia watched our two senior dogs while we were out of town, and she was great. She was super communicative and kept them on their regular schedules. We didn’t worry at all on our trip and came back home to two happy and relaxed dogs. We would be very happy to have Sophia watch our dogs again.

Jacob was an exceptional find for our furry tornado of energy. His experience is obvious to anyone within a few minutes of meeting your dog. He is knowledgeable, kind, and patient. He also left our house in immaculate shape at the end of his stay! You will know your dog is in good hands when you hire Jacob.
