1. Jade T.

“Jade was amazing as our house sitter. Prompt, attentive, and very professional. Wouldn't hesitate to have her back to watch over our cat, and would recommend her to anyone. 😊”


2. Jayden Phoenix (They/Them) P.

“Jayden was absolutely phenomenal! Our dog Calypso is very skittish with new people, and in the past, sitters have struggled to get her outside for potty breaks because she was too scared. Jayden was able to take Callie out a mere four hours after we left. Callie warmed up to them very quickly and snuggled a bunch, which is no small feat on Jayden's part. Jayden was very communicative and sent multiple updates a day, including photos and videos. They were quick to respond to messages, and they left our home spotless. I would love to book with them again for future trips!”


3. Kathryn C.

“It was our first time getting a sitter to stay in our home and care for our 3 dogs for 2 days and Kathryn did not dissapoint. She was very attentive, sweet, patient, and understood all the directions on what to do for our 3 fur babies since they all have different eating habits and personalities. She made sure she texted me throughout her stay if she had any questions and sent us plenty of pics to keep us updated. She was very respectful of our home too. Her price is completely reasonable and I felt like the kids were in good hands with her. I would ask for her help again in the future and I definitely recommend.”


4. Shakira C.



“Shakira is amazing! I feel like she's part of the family. She did an amazing job looking after my Maltipoo, Dash! She sent plenty of pictures and videos throughout the day. I really appreciate the way she made both me and Dash feel comfortable. Before she left, I had already booked her for another sitting for Dash. She's the best!”


5. Nicole R.

“Nicole was wonderful! She messaged me everyday on how my dog and cat were doing with pictures or videos. She stayed for like 10 days in our home with them so we are very grateful!”




6. Tamara C.

“Tamara was an excellent pet sitter. She showed up for the meet & greet before our scheduled time. Big plus for us! She was communicative during the time we were away & we hope use her again the future.”




7. Elizabeth D.

“They were AWESOME! Immediately we hit it off talking about our mutual interests. My dog gets a bit hyper but Levi was able to demonstrate techniques to calm him down and quickly. Once I left they sent me regular updates and I never had to worry about whether or not my kitten and dog were in good hands. I really appreciate the time and effort they put into making sure I was updated. I’ve never used Rover but I definitely will again. I also will definitely be using Levi. Thank you so much for everything!”


8. Brianna S.

“Brianna was great to work with. She watched our home, our dogs, and our cat...we could not have asked for a better experience. She is incredibly responsive, kind, and an absolute pleasure to work with. Thank you Brianna for taking such great care of our furry family.”


9. Marchauna B.
“Marchauna was amazing! She responded very quickly to a last minute request for a weekend house sitting with overnight stay, and with 3 pets to boot! She was very understanding of our puppy's nightly routine of a 3am wake up call, not to mention having to supervise playtime and literally herd cats from room to room 🤣 Marchauna is also very knowledgeable on puppy training techniques, and she gave us a lot of helpful advice. 10/10 would recommend!”


10. Phaedra H.
“Phaedra was amazing. Communication updates and flexibility. I had to go away overnight and phaedras mom ( is also a walker /sitter and amazing) mentioned that her daughter Phaedra may be available to watch my pets. I have a 13 year old dog who does not like to be alone and 4 cats. One that needs medication 2 x a day. Phaedra met with me before we left and went over all instructions. She made sure Opal had All her little walks and was able to give Deedoo her pills. I find it hard to leave and to get good honest trustworthy people. I can’t say enough good things about Phaedra my pets and my home were all in good hands and I came back to everything in perfect order and happy pets. It was so nice not to have to worry about whether or not my babies were being loved and cared for. Unfortunately I had to be away a bit longer than planned unforeseen circumstances and Phaedra really helped us out , put my mind at ease and took care of all the creatures. I just wish she still lived nearby. Count yourself and your pets lucky if you can get her to pet sit for you! Thank you Phaedra ♥️”


11. Daniela M.

“Daniela did a great job. She was very loving to my dogs and I appreciated that she spent so much time with them. She also left my house very clean! She really had a bond with them and I can tell she really loves animals.”


12. Alexa B.

“Alexa did a wonderful job taking care of our dog in our home over a long holiday weekend. She was communicative, made sure Beau got his walks and play time, left our home clean and our dog happy. She followed our instructions on everything and asked questions when she wasn’t sure about something. We hope our dog wasn’t too crazy for her, but we would gladly welcome her back! So grateful we found Alexa.”




13. Samantha E.


“Samantha was marvelous! I’m always nervous leaving my 9yo wheaten terrier, as she’s been known to get kind of cranky and snarly around other dogs. However, Samantha assured me she felt comfortable with my high-maintenance fuzzy friend. She sent regular photos and updates throughout my week-long trip, and always responded quickly whenever I’d reach out. My place was very clean when I returned and, most importantly, my dog seemed happy and relaxed. I’ll definitely reach out to Samantha again for upcoming trips!”


14. Moria S.
“My Dog and Cat have both had the pleasure of having Moria as a caregiver to them. Moria treats my pets as if they were her own. Zoey and Gargoyle are excited when Moria is around. Moria was successful in getting both my Dog and Cat to cooperate with nail trims and baths something that I struggled with. Yes, Moria has a calmness about her that my Cat, Gargoyle allows Moria to bathe her. Moria has been a godsend to me when I have been out of town by making sure that my Pets are well taken care of.”


15. Viola R.

“Viola made us feel so comfortable and at ease with her care for Champ AND our home. She is an inherent pet lover and nurturer and she makes sure she goes above and beyond to make both you and your pet feel safe. She even cleaned up the apartment before leaving without us even asking! We will definitely be asking her back to watch our “son”.”


16. Bola A.
“Outstanding dog sitter! Reliable, caring, and attentive to my pup's needs. Highly recommend for anyone seeking a responsible and loving pet caregiver! Love the service!!”


17. Danielle M.
“Danielle is great with animals. She’s a great sitter and I’ve watched her in action with her own and as well as mine. He loves to receive rubs and cuddles from her whenever we’re around. I would trust Danielle with watching my baby full-time if possible I definitely will be using her services again and again.”


18. Sarah E.
“Sarah is always great with my Shiba Inu. She takes him on long walks, consistently plays with him, feeds him on time, and even brushes him. Her communication style is perfect. 10/10 would recommend.”


19. Adrianna J.
“Adrianna is such a loving, attentive, playful and caring caregiver. She really makes it a point to tend to your animals individual needs at all times. She is so good at playing with my hyper puppy matching his levels when he is in a more hyper mood and keeping him calm with losts of cuddles when he’s tuckered out. She takes him for lots of walks and always sends the cutest pictures when I’m away. I would highly recommend her to care for your pet you won’t regret it!”


20. Sinmisola K.
“Sinmisola is a caring and exciting dog lover and is very responsible especially when it comes to providing fun and taking care of dogs wellbeing. He is an ideal candidate, as he has had the responsibility of taking care of dogs before.”
