“She was very good at communication, was punctual, and even scooped up his dog poop in the backyard. I wouldn't hesitate to use her again in the future.”
“Loyd communicated with us throughout his stay at our home with our 2 dogs. Luna is reactive and Loyd handled her very well and took care of our home too. The house was in great condition when we returned and the dogs looked happy.”
“This is our 2nd time using Jayda and she is just wonderful! Even when we had some travel delays, she was flexible and able to accommodate. It was such a weight off our shoulders knowing he was in good hands. Thank you Jayda!”
“Salem watched my special needs cat for the weekend and did a really great job. She was able to give him all required medications and took careful attention to ensure he was comfortable. She sent me numerous pictures throughout the weekend updating me. I was really happy to find her with short notice and glad that she took such great care of my cat while staying with him!”
“Jaelyn was fantastic! Perry was comfortable with her right away which put us all at ease to leave him with her. Perry is an older guy with health issues and she took perfect care of him while we needed to be away. I would definitely use her again and highly recommend her to others. Thank you, Jaelyn!”
“Tynesha took really great care of our home and our babies, even to the point of having to scour the house to find the "hider." But she did it! They were well fed and cared for during our trip. Good and fast communication, she received and stored our package deliveries for us. House was clean and fresh on our arrival back! We are ever grateful for Tynesha's care for all of us! Not having to worry about your home and pets while on leave is a very nice feeling!”
“Meg is the bomb! She handled the pack of 3 dogs and 3 cats with no problems. She’s very approachable and laidback, but will be sure to get all needed details with without issue. Can’t recommend her enough!!”
“I can’t give Erica enough stars, she is absolutely amazing. During my recent trip, Erica stayed at my place and took care of my pet for ~ 2 weeks. She was quick to gain the trust of my anti-social cat, she communicated with me nearly daily, and my cat was happy and well cared for while I was gone. Erica also was an excellent house guest and left the place in great/tidy condition (probably better than I had left it). Thanks again Erica for taking such great care of Toed!”
“Absolutely fantastic experience with Stephanie on Rover! She provided top-notch care for my dogs, demonstrating genuine love and attention. Stephanie's regular updates and photos kept me reassured while I was away. Professional, reliable, and she truly went above and beyond. I highly recommend Stephanie and will definitely entrust her with my dogs' care in the future. Five stars without a doubt!”
“I had a long trip out of state over the holidays planned, and I was worried about leaving my fur babies for so long. But I was really grateful to have had someone there with the animals who was clearly so caring and attentive. Her communication was great, very friendly, and the animals clearly loved her! Got regular pictures so I knew they were in good shape and happy. Thank you thank you thank you!”
“Thanks Scott for a worry-free vacation! We have a small house and quite a few animals but he was able to manage it without any issues. He also graciously extended his stay a day when our flight was delayed.”
“Laura is wonderful with my two weimaraner puppies. She is very attenative and gives them the much needed attention they both deserve. I feel so comfortable leaving them alone with her when I'm working 12hr shifts at the hospital.”

“Kate was incredible with our 3 dogs! Not only did she give a quick yes to a short notice request, she provided excellent care to our dogs and an our home! Thanks Kate!”
“We booked Elyse for a pet/house sitting stay while out of town for 4th of July. Elyse was absolutely fantastic. She was communicative and dependable and professional. She sent photos and updates of our dogs everyday while we were gone. Elyse left our house spotless, all the plants were watered, and she went above and beyond and left us freshly picked wildflowers in a vase and homemade sourdough bread (which was delicious) for our return home. We definitely recommend her!!”

Michael S.
“Michael is the best pet sitter I have ever had. My dogs absolutely adore him! He pays attention to detail to their somewhat complicated feeding schedule and routine. He lets the dogs out more than I ask him to when he stays at the house and when I come back home from trips the house is immaculate and everything is in order. My dogs always look forward to seeing him and I would recommend Michael to everyone!”
Erica S.
“Erica did a great job staying with my anxious dog while I was out of town! I will definitely be using her again in the future when I go out of town.”
