“Christina was amazing!! She was very communicative and sent me lots of photos and daily updates of Remi :) I came home to a very happy, calm dog, and my apartment was incredibly clean. I would HIGHLY recommend Christina to anyone!”
3. Elisa L.
“Elisa was the perfect dog sitter when we went out of town for four days! She was extremely communicative, sent lots of photos and even left the house cleaner than when we left. With going out of the country, Elisa kept our mind at ease and we were able to enjoy our vacation. We cannot recommend Elisa enough and will definitely be using her again! She really is one of a kind !!”
4. Sarah M.
“Sarah is AMAZING! We had her for two overnights in our house taking care of our dog and cat... Sarah was simply amazing. Not only was she responsible and reliable (obviously the most critical things), she was also friendly and genuinely cared for our pets in such a kind way! She provided frequent pupdates and cupdates about our pets, and it was so reassuring to know they were in such good hands and having fun. Our pets are very different - a bit of a wild goldendoodle and a very senior cat. It takes a special person to take such good care of them both. The pictures of our pets made us so happy while we were traveling since we could literally see their smiles in the images!! Not only was Sarah so great with our pets, she took incredible care of our home, too; honestly we found it nicer than when we left! Huge gratitude to Sarah and she has our fullest 5 star, 10 out of 10, most excellent recommendation!”

7. Tori E.
“Highly recommend Tori for you pet needs. She is extremely prompt in her responses. She sent pictures of the pets on her arrival to our home and then daily. She even sent a video. Our dog can be very nervous around new people but took right to Tori, putting our minds at ease while we were way. We will definitely be booking her again in the future.”

9. Pamela N.
“Pam did a great job staying at my house with my 4-yr-old miniature poodle while I was away. I could tell when I got back that he had a really fun time with her, and he had been super well cared for. She sent lots of adorable photos, too. I would definitely hire her again!”
10. Yeni & Elliot C.
“We had a wonderful experience with Yeni. After explaining that one of my pups has some insecurities and is afraid of men, she got back to me very quickly and we had a meet and greet. She is amazing and very responsible, she stayed in our house and took good care of the four of our fur babies, our two small pups and our two kitties. Yeni sent us lots of updates and pictures. For sure we’ll use her services again, I highly recommend Yeni!!”

“Gianni was an amazing sitter! She was very responsive and great with my dog, was so great to have the peace of mind while out for the evening. Will definitely rebook with her and would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!”
12. Amina E.
“Amina has dog-sat for us several times a year since we adopted our 5-year-old Yorkie, Casha, at 5 months. She is simply the best! When we are lucky enough to get her, my vacations are always more relaxed because I know my dog is getting the best care and having fun. My dog loves Amina. She also is amazing at following any instructions and suggestions. Last trip I suggested a walk to a beautiful ravine path, so she brought my dog there twice! She even took amazing photos of their visit which made me so happy and was an added keepsake for my husband and me. As an added bonus, Amina happens to be an amazing, kind, sweet, empathetic and intelligent person too! She is perfect for little ones with separation anxiety. -Alysha S.”
13. Kylee P.
“Highly recommend Kylee! She is very friendly, organized, reliable and took wonderful care of our three dogs while we were out of town.

She went above and beyond for both our anxious dog and our dog reactive dog, they both loved her, and she sent frequent updates and pictures. Will definitely be rebooking!”
17. Harry C.
“Harry’s photo should be listed in the dictionary under “dog lover.” He is the gentlest, most caring, and thoughtful dog owner and person that I know. He loves dogs more than anyone else I know. He would be perfect in a position that Rover could give him, and I would trust him not only with my life, but my dog’s life as well. I hope that he can make so many dogs and dog owners happy.”
