1. Allison C.
“We had an excellent experience having Allison house sit for us! She is very communicative and easy to work with, and we rested easy that our dog is in good hands. Will book with her again.”
2. Gail B.
“We’ve used Gail for watching our Rue in our home, she is professional, punctual and I’m always happy she is able to help us!! I will continue to request her services!!”
3. Joseph V.
“Joey did such a wonderful job watching our Sherlock! We were a bit nervous since we recently adopted him and he sometimes has some behavioral issues as he adjusts to his new environment. However, he was left in such calm and capable hands with Joey- he did such a good job walking/running him a lot and sounds like all went very well. Based on our convos before, Joey seemed to really “get it” and the needs of a dog still adjusting. We also loved receiving a ton of videos and updates!”
4. Roland S.
“He was great, very nice. Our schedule changed last minute and he was very flexible & accommodating!!we we will definitely reach out to him again in the future!!”
5. Loralys M.
“Loralys is seriously the best in-home sitter I've had on Rover, and I've had some great sitters. The difference is the amount of obvious love she showed to my dog, Pippin, which I think speaks to her love of animals, period. She texted frequently, sent pictures and videos, and in general made us feel very comfortable about leaving our fairly new rescue pup with someone else. In the videos she is talking to our Pip in a soft, reassuring voice, and Pippin was clearly relaxed and happy. She got to know Pippin at a time when I was also still getting to know her, which actually helped me, too. She goes out of her way to bring her own food, towels, etc. which with us, is unnecessary because we consider an in-home sitter to be a guest, entitled to use our things and make herself comfortable (especially if they are taking good care of our dog, who is an entitled member of the family). For others who aren't so inclined, they may appreciate that she does this.”
6. Destiny T.
“Destiny is a true gem! My dog has separation anxiety and cannot be alone. He is also slow to warm up to strangers. But Destiny had him calm and wanting affection in under two minutes. :) I will definitely call on her again!”
7. Katy R.
“Katy took great care of our apartment and pets. She arrived on time, sent plenty of updates, and left our place and pets in great shape. We'd definitely work with her again. :-)”
8. Lindsay J.
“Lindsay housesat for Jaxx this week and was right on time with his walks and feedings. Her communication was great and help put my mind at ease while I was traveling for work. She kept my place picked up which is always greatly appreciated. I will definitely use Lindsay again.”
9. Agnetta K.
“We highly recommend Annetta! She took great care of our dog and cat. She has excellent communication skills and was on time. You can certainly trust her with your pets!”
10. Sophia H.
“Sophia was amazing watching Howl while me and my partner were away. She sent us updates and pictures very frequently. Even though our cat is pretty low maintenance we appreciated all the help from her!”
11. Adam S.
“Adam is awesome! He took great care of our dog- and home- while we were out of town. He communicated well and everything went smoothly. Our dog is super anxious and Adam handled everything like a pro. We are so thankful. Highly recommend Adam!”
12. Zoë V.
“Zoë was wonderful with my high maintenance cat, Toast! I got awesome communication about how he was doing, and I am really happy with the care my cat got.”
13. Ana C.
“Ana was great with my dog Zoe (~75 pound Amstaff) and sent so many great pictures and videos of their time together over 8 days of house sitting. The peace of mind that it lent me knowing that Zoe was being cared for so well was huge while I was away; thanks Ana!”
14. Hillary B.
“Hillary is the best cat sitter ever. Super communicative, lots of photos, the cats looked truly comfortable and content (which isn’t always the case) and her daily updates put us at ease. One of my cats has recently started an anxiety medication, and Hillary was great about giving him his daily dose & keeping us informed on his temperament while we were away. We were so lucky to find her just before Christmas, and when our travel plans changed (multiple times!) she was super accommodating with modifying the booking and agreeing to stay longer than expected — through the holidays! We appreciate her so much, and we are so grateful for the care she showed the fur babies and our home. Will definitely book again!”
15. Samuel J.
“Samuel watched our two dogs for a long weekend while we were out of town. His professionalism and commutation were perfect. We came home to a clean space and happy pups! Will definitely be booking him again.”
16. Cheryl L.
“Cheryl took excellent care of our two pups. She handled their challenges without issue and was very communicative throughout the stay. Highly recommend!!”
17. Erin H.
“Erin was a wonderful sitter! Our animals loved her and she sent us the sweetest pictures while she was watching them. Our dog and cats clearly felt very comfortable with her. She was also very communicative and we’ll definitely ask her to sit again!”
18. Sarah & Walter M.
“Sarah and Walter were wonderful! Easy to communicate with and sent daily updates. My pup can run anxious when I am out of town. They were so patient with her and made Sunny feel right at home!”
19. Maiya D.
“Maiya did an incredible job taking care of Finnegan! She kept us updated with lots of photos and messages, and it was clear he had a fantastic time with her. We’ll definitely be asking Maiya to watch Finnegan again!”
20. Ksa C.
“Ksa was so great!! Sent the best photos and took such great care of our maniac puppy. She spoiled him with lots of fetch/walks/love - we came home to a very happy pup. Our apartment was left in even better condition than we left it. We hope to have her stay again sometime!!”
