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!

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.

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!

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!

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!
