“Arantxa gave me so much peace of mind while I was out of town. She goes above and beyond with updates, special care to keep their routine, and gives them so much love and attention. She genuinely treats your pets like they are her own. She is the BEST! 😊”
“Shanda was so thoughtful to us and our pup. She came in during an emergency trip we needed to take and we could not ask for more. Her updates made us feel so comfortable. We knew Eve was safe and having a great time. Highly recommend her for any care because she will spoil your fur baby like a grandparent.”
“Christine is always amazing with our pups! We get picture updates and I never have to worry about the dogs while we are on vacation! I know that they are super happy with her and that’s such a great peace of mind for us!”
“OMG! Look no farther. If you want a GREAT Rover experience then Erica is your girl. She gave updates, sent pics, helped in any way possible, communicated often and was very respectful of my home. My dogs literally looked like they took to her quickly- which they never do so this was a testament to her “vibe”. I will hire Erica any and every time I need a dog sitter and recommend you do the same! 10 ⭐️’s”
“Ana was an amazing and very communicative sitter for my furbabies. She sent pictures every morning and afternoon and kept me posted about all things critters. I will absolutely be booking with her in the future.”
“Elizabeth took such amazing care of my dog (and my house) while I was away! She asked thoughtful questions when getting to know me and my dog, Kiki, and had great communication with me throughout my trip. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing someone to care for their pet!”
“Daria was amazing, my cats took to her right away. I was a little nervous leaving them for a night but they were happy and healthy when I got home. She sent lots of photos and videos which made this cat mom feel better”
“Yuliia did an outstanding job taking care of our home and our beloved Wally, a 20 lb. Corgi mix. Throughout our time away, she kept us updated daily with thoughtful texts and photos, giving us complete peace of mind. When we returned, our home was spotless—just as we left it—and Wally was in great health, clearly happy and well cared for. Yuliia’s attentiveness and genuine love for animals shone through in everything she did. We’ll definitely be reaching out to her again for future trips and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring sitter.”
“Matt was everything you want when booking a new sitter. Our dog loved him, he was super responsive before and during, and had a real ease and kindness about him. We didn’t worry at all and as a pet owner you can understand how invaluable that is:) we loved Matt, will rebook him forever in the future and recommend you book him too!!”
“Arturo was super communicative and enthusiastic to give our two cats the best care! He took notes beforehand of little details to remember for them and communicated throughout the sitting - we did not have to worry about our cats in his care. Arturo dealt with one of our cats medical issues very well (including giving liquid medicine 3x a day) and learned their individual quirks and played with them how they liked - Would definitely recommend hiring Arturo!”
“Victoria came to house and dog sit for me and she was amazing! She came the night before I left on an early morning flight and stayed on for my late arriving flight at the end of my trip. She took great care of my dog, Teddy. He felt cared for and secure. Victoria sent me daily updates and photos and I could tell he enjoyed her company. She also followed my instructions about feeding, medications, and walks. I highly recommend her - a more responsible and caring sitter can’t be found.”
“Misha was super great and even came a few days earlier to meet and greet with the dogs. Was super communicative throughout the time I was away from my girls and made my trip a lot easier! Thanks Misha!!”
“Tiffany is fantastic! Our girls (Lennon + Mink) loved their time with her. This was our first experience leaving them with someone they didn’t already know and Tiffany was the perfect sitter. Not only was she already communicative from the get go, but our sweet pup got gnarly hot spots the day before we left for a long weekend and we were heartbroken to leave her with an open wound and a stranger to tend to her. Tiffany was wonderful having to adapt last minute and make applying topical ointment a part of her routine with Lennon while we were gone. She monitored Lennon closely and updated us regularly. Not to mention our cat absolutely loves her. Tiffany will be our go to sitter from now on!”
“Laura was so sweet and wonderful! This was our first overnight and we couldn’t appreciate her patience and understanding more. Would 20/10 recommend!”
“Alexa was great! She was eager to come meet my dog and see his routine prior to her overnight stay and connected with my dog immediately. He was like a magnet to her! She is calm, on time and eager to go above and beyond. I also received the cutest pictures of him from her which was such a great touch. Thank you Alexa, I look forward to next time!”
“Michael took great care of our dogs and house. He was easy to communicate with and sent lots of pictures. We would gladly rebook with him again.”
“Zinnia went above and beyond to provide exceptional care to my pup while I was on a work trip!!! Nothing better than knowing my dog is happy and healthy with her”
“She was amazing with my dog Marlo! I had to ask her to stay longer because my flight got delayed. Shared daily updates. Will hire again.”
“Michele was so wonderful with our three dogs! She was caring and attentive - we could tell by the pictures she sent us every day. Would highly recommend her, and we will definitely request her help in the future!!”
“David & Lauren were great! They updated me throughout the day, took amazing care of Mona and left my place clean. That’s all I can ask for! I’ll definitely be using them again in the future. Highly recommend”
