Kimberly was absolutely amazing! we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She sent daily updates, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away, and her personality really shines through, she’s warm, funny, and genuinely kind. It’s clear how much she truly cares about the dogs. Roku and Toki were so well loved and cared for, and she went above and beyond not just with them but with our home too. She even rolled out the trash for us, which was such a thoughtful touch. Roku can be a bit difficult on walks and tends to pull, but Kimberly handled him so patiently and confidently. That really meant a lot to us knowing he was in capable hands. We would 100% trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone attentive, responsible, and genuinely caring.

Cj is wonderful. He is kind, professional, responsible and thorough. We couldn’t be more grateful. Cj took care of our elderly Simon and our house for three days. He sent updated photos of himself during walks and meals, which gave us peace of mind. We definitely recommend Cj to anyone who wants their pets to be in the best hands. We are planning our next trips to call Cj again. 😃

Trina was once again wonderful with our two little dogs, including an elderly chihuahua who required more special care. I felt confident leaving them with her, which was a great help in itself. She sent helpful updates and photos, and we came home to happy, well cared for dogs and a tidy house.

Barbara stayed in our home to watch our two pups while we took a weekend trip. Prior to leaving, she came over and spent a significant amount of time to get to know and learn about our dogs. I was not at all concerned about leaving them in her care. When we got home not only were our pups well taken care of, our home was exactly how we had left it. I highly recommend Barbara.

We are so glad that we had someone as thoughtful, diligent, patient, and dog loving as Katie watching our pups! She went way above and beyond what we could have hoped for from amazing frequent updates (making us feel like we were still there with them), taking care of them exactly how we would, and taking care of the apartment so well (it looks more clean than when we left it). The piece de resistance were thoughtful report cards with such specific details that we’ll treasure. WOW. We would gladly have Katie watch our pups again in the future ?

Shalese was a perfect dog sitter!! It was the first time my partner and I were leaving our high energy/anxiety pups with a sitter on River, and Shalese relieved all our own anxieties! She was very professional, clean, and clearly cared so well for our dogs as they are both still pooped from walking and playing with her! She did extra work than was even asked of her such as managing our home (cleaning, bringing in mail), and we are so grateful. We highly recommend Shalese to anyone and would book her again!

About: Not being able to have my own pets, as my apartment has strict pet rules, I enjoy meeting new fur friends and spending time with them if they are needing some company while you are away. I have dog sat for three different families regularly for the past 3 years and love being around both cats and dogs. I have great attention to detail, so if your fur babies have any specific needs they will be met. I typically stay in-house being that I feel animals are more comfortable in their own homes doing their usual routines. Pet care doesn’t typically fit in my daily routine, it fits more with a last minute weekend get away or vacation. I would like to meet and greet prior to the dates needed to make sure I have a full scale of how they like to spend their time with family around. I care for pets typically the best in their own homes. I think the comfort and security of being in their familiar environments eases the stress of a new person in their home. I will learn their everyday routes for walks, what treats they enjoy the most and am attentive to their needs.

Stephanie stayed at our house with our two cats during a holiday week. She was beyond fantastic! Throughout the week, she sent us adorable snapshots and videos and kept us in the loop about their funny shenanigans. She also made easy work of a complicated refrigerated auto-feeder setup we have one of our cats on. We returned to a spotless home! Our two cats were not just cared for but clearly loved. Stephanie's competence and warmth made our vacation worry-free. Couldn’t more highly recommend!

We can’t say enough wonderful things about Ian, our Rover pet sitter. He took exceptional care of our furry family—DJ, our dog, and our two cats, Roxanne and Danny—and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Ian went above and beyond in every way. He sent multiple daily photos, which truly reassured us and let us see just how happy, relaxed, and well cared for our pets were. From frequent walks for DJ to engaging playtime and attentive care for all three, his dedication and genuine love for animals really stood out. What sets Ian apart is his thoughtfulness and initiative. Not only did he provide outstanding care for our pets, but he even noticed our neighbors putting out their garbage and kindly took ours out as well—something we never asked for but deeply appreciated. That kind of attentiveness and generosity is rare and speaks volumes about his character. Ian is truly one of a kind. His level of care, reliability, and kindness is second to none. We wholeheartedly and enthusiastically recommend him to anyone looking for the very best in pet care. Your pets will be in amazing hands.

Sydney was wonderful with my dog while I was out of town. She asked great questions beforehand and obviously cared about trying to keep things as normal for my pup as possible. While I was gone, I trusted her in my home, and appreciated her updates along the way. It was clear Bailey enjoyed her time with Sydney!

Korinne was fantastic. She took care of my kitty for 4 days and spent ample time with him, stayed the night, provided several updates a day and made me feel that he was well taken care of. Will definitely try to have her visit again in the future when I need help!

Genevieve took care of our dog Miso over the long weekend (house sitting) and did a stellar job. It’s clear she loves animals. She asked thoughtful questions during the meet and greet, and sent lots of photos and videos throughout her stay. She even left flowers and some baked goods for us after we returned. We would definitely rebook her!

Rachel was wonderful housesitting our very senior kitty. Her reports were not only very detailed but also full of love and warmth for our kitty. We also really appreciate that she is comfortable giving medications and keeping an eye out for basic senior issues. This is the first time we’ve left our 19 yr old kitty in a year, but we knew he was in great hands with Rachel. We can’t recommend her enough.

From first introduction to yesterday's assignment, Stephen was a 5-star performer and a pet's best friend! Highly recommend Stephen if you're looking for a dog and pet savvy person who's responsible, caring, and detail-oriented... and one who adores dogs and dogs (at least mine) adore right back. Stephen's care meant my dog got a "spa day" rather than a dull day... walks, treats, sunshine naps, and ear scritches all included.

Barbara was outstanding in every way, from our first communications through the end of the stay.

I would be happy to have her come back.

He was super-communicative, sending multiple photo and written updates every day, ensuring me that she was being cared and loved for while I was out of the house. I’ll be reaching out to him first when I need a dog-sitter again!

Jessica did dog sitting for your 14 month energetic puppy (Cherry) and house sat as well. She was a pro at helping with the Cherry's playing, walking and all the schedule, including morning, afternoon, evening walks and other craziness. Cherry was so happy with her. She house sat in addition to pet sitting and left the house in immaculate condition. 5 stars!

I’m the kind of person who cancels plans because I don’t trust anyone with my pets. Not exaggerating. I turned down a wedding because the sitter I’d booked sent me a photo of my cat and I could see the water bowl was empty. Drove home that Midnight. Afterwards, I just stopped looking. Easier to stay home than go through that knot in your stomach when you’re three hours away wondering if your dog is actually okay or if “he’s doing great!” Is just what they text everyone. So when I say I’d hand my keys to Marion tomorrow and sleep through the night, that should tell you something. The first time, I did a one-night trial. Figured I’d feel it out, pick up early if something was off. What happened instead I got a video at 7pm of my cat - who takes 45 minutes to warm up to anyone - asleep on Marion’s lap. Not posed. Just… settled. You know what your cat looks like when they feel safe. That was it. I’ve booked Marion six times now. Here’s what’s different. She actually learned my cat. Not “cats” in general - my cat specifically. Knows he won’t eat if the bowl is near the door. Knows he gets restless at 4pm and needs more play time. Knows that when he sits by the window he’s not being cute, he’s anxious, and the fix is getting on the floor with him, not putting on the TV. I stopped sending my usual paragraph of instructions after the third visit because Marion already knew everything in it. That’s never happened with any sitter, ever. The thing people don’t realize until it’s too late is that most pet sitters are fine… until they’re not. Until your cat eats something weird and the sitter doesn’t notice for six hours. You won’t know until you come home and your pet is acting different and you’re piecing together what happened from a timeline that doesn’t add up. By then you’ve already paid and left a review and the damage is done. Marion sent me a photo once of a tiny scratch my cat got on a bush during a walk. Unprompted. With a note about what she cleaned it with. That’s the difference between someone who watches your pet and someone who actually cares about what happens to them. I actually adopted two more cats since then. I wouldn’t have done that if I didn’t know marion was there for whenever I need to travel. Honestly? Part of me doesn’t want to leave this review because I don’t want her calendar to fill up before my next trip. But she’s too good not to share.

Anastacia was great with our two dogs. One of the dogs acts aggressive when she meets new people Anastacia was not intimidated and our dogs warmed up to her quickly. Anastacia was punctual, communicated well and sent lots of pictures. She stayed two nights at our house with the dogs. We were very happy with her and would use her again.
