“Zilalai is a 5-star pet sitter! She took excellent care of my cats and my home. I appreciate that she read the instructions and kept the pets on their usual schedule. Zilalai was also very reliable. She went above and beyond by handling a blizzard and an unexpected plumbing issue with ease. She also left the house tidy. I am hoping Zilalai can come back to cat sit again during my next trip. With Zilalai on the job, I can truly relax and know the pets and house are in good hands. Thank you, Zilalai! 😻”
“Stacy was superb! We had a last minute need due to our flight getting cancelled and Stacy was very communicative and flexible during a moment of a lot of stress. My pups were very well taken care of and I got lots of pictures. My house was well taken care of as well. Would definitely book her again in the future.”
“My wife and I are first time dog owners who recently got a puppy. Anastasia took care of him for an evening while we were away and did a fantastic job! Theo was so comfortable with her and the peace of mind knowing that he was safe and well cared for is all I could ask for. Will definitely be working with Anastasia again!”
“Devon house-sat and looked after our two dogs on August 11/12, 2025. Devon's great! Very kind with our dogs, speedy with communications, and conscientious with taking care of everything just right. We wholeheartedly recommend Devon to take care of your pets and/or house-sit for you! Thanks Devon!”
“Emily was wonderful with our 10mo puppy, giving him attention and providing enrichment throughout the day, taking him on his midday walk and feeding him lunch. We came home to a happy, wriggly, sleepy puppy. Emily also left the sweetest report card and polaroid shot of Kiwi at the end of the day :)”
“Victoria (Rev) did a fantastic job and I would 100% recommend her to anyone needing a sitter. She was easy to communicate with prior to & during her stay and sent frequent updates and pictures of the pups. She stayed in my home & left it very clean- She even took out the trash which I didn’t expect her to do annd appreciated. My pups are kind of high maintenance (2 Maltese) & Rev did a fantastic job taking care of them. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone needing a sitter!”
“Aubrey was wonderful! She took great care of our dog Tiny. Tiny can be nervous around strangers but Aubrey took the time to meet Tiny before the stay and was patient with her which was so great. She left our house very tidy and sent us updates and pictures of Tiny during the stay. We will definitely ask Aubrey again if we need a sitter. Thank you so much!”
“Great experience, Our pup was taken care of very well and looked even healthier after we got back. Anthony was also great with the difficult times thst i had to schedule because of an early flight. Great sitter and would love to book him again.”
“Olivia house sat for us this past week and took great care of our two 3-yr old kitties! We can tell the kitties were well taken care of by how much they cuddled up to her. We would definitely recommend Olivia!”
“I can’t say enough great things about Ailise! She helped me out last minute this weekend, and the entire experience exceeded my expectations. From the moment we connected, she was responsive, kind, and genuinely caring with my dogs. It was such a relief knowing my pups was in great hands while I was away. Ailise went above and beyond with updates, photos, attention to detail, and making sure my dogs felt loved the whole time. You can truly tell she cares about animals and treat them like family. I came home to happy, relaxed dogs and I’m so grateful for the care and flexibility she provided on short notice. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, dependable, and compassionate dog sitter!”
“We can not say enough good about Luis and the care he took of our two pets: Baloo (a 4 year old hound dog) and Soupbelly ( a 8 month ish old kitten). We were out of the country for a little over three weeks in which Luis attended to every need of both pets. In addition to the usual care, he also took Baloo to nearby off leash parks, which is his favorite thing to do. In addition to graciously sharing his bed with both pets he spoiled them with treats and outings and kept us up to date with lots of pictures, which were so appreciated. Being so far away, it was a relief to know our pets were so well cared for and loved in our absence. And last but not least, he took great care of our house which was an added bonus!”
“Kelly is so enthusiastic and a wonderful caretaker of our pups! She kept us well informed throughout the duration of her stay and the dogs were so happy with her. We have a 4 month old and a 7 year old. She balanced the energy of the baby so well while also making sure our “elder” got love and attention. Will absolutely be using Kelly in the future and highly recommend her!”
“Ella is amazing. She takes amazing care of our dog Chessy. She updates us consistently and we 100% trust her with longer stays to keep him safe and happy. She’s the best!”
“Alana is a gem. She's a delight to interact with and a top-notch communicator. She stayed with our cats over a long weekend, and we felt confident that the boys and our home were being expertly cared for. Both Skye and Q confirmed this once we were back. Q also seemed to miss her and spent an unusual amount of time perched on the guest room bed in the hours after she left. Alana will be at the top of our list next time we need a sitter.”
“Mirabel always sends great updates and photos! She has taken care of our dog and 2 cats a couple of times, and they are always happy and healthy when we return!”

Tommy’s been helping care for my high-maintenance and anxious dog Juju for a few months now and he’s taken amazing care of her and gone the extra mile to be responsive and flexible. He’s super responsible, experienced, and absolutely loves dog. Juju adores him. I’m grateful to have established this relationship and will be working with Tommy in the future!
Masi took great care of Chewie at our apartment while we were gone for a weekend. She was very communicative and sent us lots of photos. Chewie is older with some health problems, and we felt like she was in great hands. As a bonus, Masi left our place very clean. She clearly loves dogs and we will happily book with her again!
Cyn took excellent care of our 3 small dogs in our home while we were away on a 5 day trip. Our Morkie takes awhile to warm up to strangers but Cyn was eventually able to get her to go on walks with the rest of the pack. We received updates and photos every day, walks to the nearby park and throwing the ball for our mini Aussie (sorry he doesn't retrieve the ball!). While our dogs were excited to see us return, they went right back to their normal behavior soon after. This is the main reason we hired Cyn to stay in our home and know she took special care of our loved ones. Upon picking up our mini aussie after boarding with a local business, he was "shell shocked" for a day or 2 after which is exactly why we are so grateful to have found Cyn as a caretaker.
I needed a last-minute sitter and Olivia did great with my pup Summer! Olivia was thorough, asked all the right questions, and communicated clearly about when she'd be at the house and when she'd need to be at work. She arrived on time and was responsive throughout the week, and I returned home to a safe pup and a clean home. I feel lucky that I was able to book Olivia last minute and will definitely book again in the future.
So grateful Leah was able to make a last-minute booking request work. Leah was on time, organized, and great with my cat Louie, who can be a little ball of stress if I'm not home during his evening routine. Louie did so well while I was gone, since he had Leah around to keep him company. Thank you, Leah!
Priya was absolutely amazing. Great communicator, caretaker, and just thoughtful all around. She took such great care of our cat Kilo and sent us daily updates with photos for the week we were out. Kilo took to her the second she walked through the door. Not only did she take such great care of Kilo, she was also so thoughtful while house sitting. We were so lucky to find Priya on rover. I highly recommend her!! 💕 She’s a cat whisperer.
