“Was able to book Patches after a last min cancelation of our normal sitter. She was quick to respond and sent updates / photos throughout the stay. My Pom was very comfortable with her.”
“It was our first time using Sarah when our regular sitter was booked and she was amazing and very professional. She sent regular updates and took amazing care of our golden doodle. She even taught her how to use a dog door! We will definitely book her again!”
“Cassandra and Jason were amazing! They clearly made Kylo feel right at home while i was away on a trip where i didn’t have wifi. They sent lots of pics and updates and were so great about keeping him on his medication schedule. Will be booking again!”
“Nataliia was super sweet and kind! She was always checking in and sending updates about Lorenzo, which we really appreciated. You can tell she genuinely cares about animals and took amazing care of him. We’re really happy with her and would totally recommend her!”
“Anna watched my dog and cat for over two weeks and I’m so grateful that she was their pet sitter. Her and her husband are compassionate and accommodating so they went above and beyond to make sure my needy cat and my timid dog felt comfortable and had everything they needed. My dog rarely forms bonds with new people but she did with Anna, which spoke to how caring and gentle Anna is! I highly recommend Anna and have told all my pet parent friends about how great of an experience my pets had and how much peace of mind I had while away. Anna is kind, knowledgeable, diligent, and thoughtful - all of the qualities you’d want in a trusted sitter!”
“Elijah is totally on top of it- starting with a meet and greet, so I felt completely comfortable leaving Harry with him. Harry loves Zee Zee and was so happy to see her when I dropped him off. I know he was well taken care of, and he was a very happy boy when we picked him up! We’ll definitely check with Elijah anytime we need someone for Harry.”
“David was great! Communication was clear throughout the entire process. He sent multiple pictures and videos of Junie during her visit. Even gave me a little picture of her in a frame! I will continue to come back in the future!”
“Christine was extremely accommodating and absolutely fantastic with my pup. She kept him entertained and kept me up-to-date on all their adventures. Maverick is currently dreaming of his next stay with Christine!”
“Marissa was a wonderful sitter for Goose! She gave daily updates and pics, and seemed to be super comforting and considerate of him during this weeklong, rainy stay.”
“Rose was all I could have hoped for and more! She made my first Rover booking experience very enjoyable. Will definitely book with her again in the future. Thanks for taking such great care of my babies!”
“Manuela had my dog Loki for 8 days when I went out of state and was amazing with him. Loki has some attachment issues, but she made his stay so fun for him which I got to see through daily photos/videos. Her dog Morgan is also super sweet and became best friends with Loki. Strongly recommend!”
“My pup enjoyed his stay with Erika! She kept me updated regularly with pics and videos. It was great that she had other dogs so there was lots of social interaction and playtime”
“We had an amazing experience getting a last minute booking with Lily. She quickly arranged for a meet and greet for Goose and sent pics during his entire stay. Looking forward to booking her again asap!”
“Rafa was wonderful with my dog! He sent pictures and updates which I appreciated so much. I could really tell he cared for her as I would and really spoiled her. I would definitely book with Rafa again in the future!”
“Jeff and his partner took amazing care of our two dogs while we were away! From the moment we met them, we felt completely at ease knowing our pups would be in great hands. They treated our dogs like part of the family, and it was clear they were both well cared for and truly enjoyed their stay. Our dogs got plenty of attention, love, and playtime—and they especially loved hanging out with their sweet dog, Whiskey! It was such a comfort to know they were having fun and getting along so well. Jeff sent us regular updates and photos, which we really appreciated. We’ll definitely be booking with Jeff again. Highly recommend!”
“Came down to Texas for the business meeting. Asha is sweat and friendly, kept on posting pictures of Brie while the entire meeting so I was able to focus on work. Thank you so much for all kindness!”
