1. Jennifer B.

“She took great care of our 2 large breed dogs while we were away on vacation. Would not hesitate to have her watch our boys again! The Rover card updates were great to read while we were away ?”


2. Chloe W.

“Chloe is an excellent dog sitter! She comes on time, makes sure my dog is taken out, and fed. She also walks and plays with her. She is very responsive and will ask if anything is needed. I also like her pricing as it is affordable. I definitely recommend her as a sitter!”


3. Jennifer P.

“Jennifer was a great sitter, she clearly loves animals and is very good with them, even our somewhat snarly rescue dogs! She bonded with the dogs after a day or two, and they seemed happy on our return. Communication and responsiveness was great, reliability awesome. What more could you ask for?”


4. Anusha T.

“Anusha was a huge help taking care of my dogs over the past couple months. She is reliable and incredibly responsive. I am a repeat customer and will continue to be one in the future.”


5. Cam L.

“Cam visited my house to care for my two cats for five days while we were away. I asked if it would be possible to come at the same time every day, though I mentioned it was okay if that couldn’t be done. Cam managed to come at about the same time each day and sent me photos of my cats. Cam is reliable, communicative, and takes great care of pets. I highly recommend Cam’s services.”


6. Hillary C.
“Hillary is the most fantastic dog-mom and dog-lover I know! My older dog and I have known Hillary for many years now and have both witnessed and experienced what a caring, loving, and knowledgeable person she is when it comes to the world of dogs. Part of what we have witnessed is how she interacts with dogs who have special behavioral needs in terms of being reactive to other dogs and/or people. She is very experienced in using a positive approach to working with dogs and has demonstrated such a strong commitment to getting to know the dogs she meet's personalities, quirks, and what brings them joy. From seeing how deeply and wonderfully she has cared for her own dog, Finn, she invests so much of her time and energy to make sure Finn is happy, well-exercised, stimulated, and rewarded for being the best girl in the world! I have no doubt that she will treat your own dog(s) as if they are her own and that you and your pooch will love her as deeply and fondly as mine and I do! I couldn't recommend anyone more!”


7. Sara L.

“Sara cared for our two year old Maine Coon every day for over 2 weeks. She was so thoughtful and attentive and easily developed a special relationship with our cat, who has never been left alone before. The daily pictures and reports put our mind at ease. The Rover app was helpful when we were overseas. We could not have gone away without Sara!”


8. Zachary G.

“Zachary was easy to work with and also very friendly to our dog. He was on time for the check ins, and sent along pictures/updates with how our boy was doing. We highly recommend Zachary, and we will certainly utilize his services again if the need arises!”


9. Caitlyn G.

“Caitlyn did a great job watching our dogs!! The dogs seemed happy when we got home. She fed them and played with them for an hour. We would definitely use her again.”


10. Liv P.

“Liv was an amazing cat drop in sitter! Took very good care of my cat... sent updates and pics everyday! Would highly recommend!”


11. Rachel A.

“Rachel was so so great…caring, loving, kind to our black lab Rosie. She did drop in visits while we were away for 4 days. Extremely reliable and went above and beyond. She even gave Rosie her dog’s slow feeding bowl to see if that would help her eat a bit slower. Would recommend Rachel without hesitation. Thank you so much for taking care of our girl!!!”


12. Annie K.

“Annie was able to do a drop-in visit on short notice for our two huskies and we couldn’t be more thankful. She was communicative and prompt. We look forward to having her watch our dogs again in the future!”


13. Kaitlyn S.

“Kaitlyn is so lovely and gentle with my senior dog. She is great with communication too, which is very much appreciated. Will definitely book her again!”


14. Victoria D.

“Vicki is fantastic. Dogs love her. Totally reliable!!”


15. Catherine R.
“I would trust Catherine with my own dog because she pays attention, she’s trustworthy and she’s kind which is very important when dealing with other people’s pets. She’s very responsible when it comes to pretty much anything so i think she’d be the perfect person to watch after pets.”


16. Ashley R.
“When I had to travel for a work trip, Ashley watched my two cats. Though they can be a bit shy, they took a quick liking to her and it was great to see the regular photos and updates of them that she sent along. Not only were the cats' physical needs met but it was great to know that they had some loving company in my absence. Ashley was responsive in communication and even flexed a bit so I could return a day later. I so appreciated the peace of mind during an otherwise stressful time.”


17. Brooke P.

“Brooke was fantastic! She came over to let both of our boxers out and let them get some energy out during the day. She was on time, reliable, and sent the best updates. We are planning to use her again for future visits for the pups!”


18. Vikki S.
About: I'm a mature professionaI in biotech. I have had dogs my whole life and recently took a refresher puppy training 6 week course with my puppy. I take excellent care of my own dogs.

19. Elana R.

“Elana was a great caregiver for my cat Maevie while my girlfriend and I were in the Bahamas. Highly recommend!”


20. Joni A.

“Joni did a great job caring for our two kitties while we were away. She was very attentive and our cats were immediately comfortable with her. Communication was top notch from start to finish with detailed report cards and pictures. She also went above and beyond other sitters in making sure we came home to a clean house. She definitely treated our animals and home as if they were her own. We wouldn't hesitate to have Joni back to care for our kitties.”
