“Victoria did a great job watching my two cats for a week! She was very communicative and the cats were very comfortable with her. I’d absolutely have her catsit again!”


“Amy watched my Pomeranian, Peaches, for a couple of days last week, and I can’t recommend her enough. From the start, she was an excellent communicator and brought such a calm, grounding energy—exactly what both I and my dog needed. She even came early the day I was leaving and gently soothed Peaches while I packed. Peaches didn’t even realize I was heading out! Amy is truly a dog whisperer and gave me complete peace of mind. She’s the kind of sitter every dog owner hopes to find.”


“Anastasia is a regular dog walker for us and recently stayed with our pup while we were away for the weekend. Our dog is clearly very comfortable with her and she always does a great job caring for him and paying attention to Ira’s need and idiosyncracies!”


“Sabrina does an absolutely excellent job!! She did a great job with my two, somewhat reactive, dogs. Since they are also high energy, she kept their brains entertained throughout the day with amazing enrichment games/treats. She is communicative and did a wonderful job sending pictures and updating me with how my pups are doing. I feel so at ease knowing Sabrina is watching my two.”


“Sev was amazing and made us feel so comfortable leaving our 3 month old baby! She sent pictures and updates throughout the stay. We will definitely be using Sev once we’re back in Boston!”


“Meaghan spent the day with our two dogs and she was so kind and responsive. Sent pictures and kept us updated, even helped with a little accident. Would definitely rebook!”


“Soli was awesome and we will absolutely be requesting her services again. She was kind/friendly, treated our home like her own, and most importantly she was great with our dog. I got regular updates from Soli that gave me peace of mind and confidence that Murray was in good hands. I highly recommend Soli for dog sitting!”


“Stephanie was brilliant. She was so trustworthy and caring towards our 3 dogs. One is very sensitive and it was not an easy job. Our dogs were sleeping with her, even though I’d never have expected it. The dogs prefer it. She was so tolerant and diligent. She also communicated with me the entire time. She is fantastic and I give her the highest recommendation.”


“Paul has been super professional every step of the way. He was prompt in setting up a meet and greet, on time, and communicated well. He also caught my mistake when I initially booked for the wrong days. We received some updates while we were gone, which was appreciated, but most importantly, our girl was clearly well taken care of. She's old and thrives on routine, and she looked like she barely noticed we were gone when we returned. It's really nice to know that she was in great hands. Bonus: I think our apartment was actually cleaner when we returned. 5+ stars.”


“Volkan was very positive and friendly. Effective and prompt communication. Got acclimated to my expectations quickly. He kept me updated throughout his time with my puppy on when he ate and pooped, which I really appreciated.”


“Cristina has been amazing watching our pup this weekend. She is amazing with dogs, and has kept us informed throughout each day. She has also been very flexible and accommodating with our timing! Would definitely book again!”


“Arshneel was amazing! This was our first time using Rover after moving to a new city. Arshneel was so communicative before and during her stay with our girl Ruby. I explained my nervousness about our pup feeling anxious when we left since she’s in a new space, so Arshneel made sure to come over before we left to help ease the transition. Throughout her stay she kept us updated and provided great care to Ruby. Our apartment was super tidy when we got back! We will 100% work with Arshneel again and would recommend her to anyone!”


“Nico was absolutely EXCEPTIONAL as a sitter for my pup, Rush. His communication was always prompt and very detailed. I had a great sense of timeline and all things that happened throughout his time sitting. I would absolutely keep him on speed-dial as a go-to whenever I leave town. Thanks again, Nico!”

“Andrew was fantastic and an experienced sitter ! He looked after my 2yo German Shepherd for a few days and left my house very neat and clean. I really appreciate the confidence I had that he was in good hands. Andrew was communicative and I’ll definitely reach out to him again”


“Luana was a kind and attentive sitter- book her now! Our little dog Rex absolutely loved her. It is clear Luana loves animals! She was communicative, caring and went above and beyond. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
