Amy has done a great job taking care of our two cats and our house. This is the third time she's stayed here, and we plan to hire her again. She clearly loves cats, and we can tell our guys like her too.

We were leaving our puppy alone with someone for the first time since we got him, and Anastasia made us feel good and confident about that! She was thoughtful, accommodating and loving towards my dog, and I appreciated her communication with me throughout the day!

About: I have lived with dogs since I was born, mostly larger breeds (German shepherd, golden retriever, huskies) and now have a cat too! Love animals! I work from 10am-5pm everyday but have most afternoons free and also can help out during the weekend! Can also pop by during lunch if it's a short enough distance! I have experience taking care of friends dogs, both crated and uncrated and can arrange for whatever is best in my apartment! My cat is also very dog friendly but can stay in a separate room if needed.

Eleanor did a wonderful job looking after our two cats while we went away for a few days. We came home to happy cats and a clean house. While we were away, we received consistent communication and pictures of our kitties to let us know all was going well. We highly recommend Eleanor for house and pet sitting!

Olivia is great! She was very communicative throughout the booking process and even accommodated a last minute request. Olivia warmly greeted my puppy and took her time to introduce herself to him as well as become acquainted to what his needs would be for the evening. I was very confident that my pet was in good hands and would work with Olivia again should the opportunity come up!

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! 😻

This was our second time having Shelby stay in our home to watch our dog, this time for a long trip abroad for 2 weeks. She took fantastic care of our dog and of our home while we were away. Shelby was super responsive, very respectful of our space, and clearly cared and loved our dog while she was house and dog sitting. It’s great to let our dog stay in a space known to him and we even had numerous neighbors reach out to let us know how good Shelby was with our dog. We will definitely be asking her to watch our dog again in the future!

Her communication is incredible and her ability to adapt to different pet personalities is truly an admirable quality. She even got our super shy kitty to come and hang with her toward the end! Thank you so so much for everything!

As always it was a pleasure to have Sarah as a pet sitter in our home. Not worrying about how your pet is doing while you're away is priceless - and Sarah is clearly a dog lover and responsible, reliable sitter. Our pup is always excited to see her 🐶

K was so excellent!! They were flexible, wonderful at communication, kind, and trustworthy. It is hard to have a stranger in your home, caring for your pets… K put all those fears to rest. My giant, anxious dog and wild cat were in great hands with K. They took care of them, loved them, and were so patient, especially with my dog’s anxiety. Thank you for being the best and we can’t wait to have you again!

It’s always hard leaving my cat behind but Ally made it easier because I knew Gracie was being loved and taken care of!!

He kept the house in pristine condition and Tinkerbell was clearly fond of him. We would absolutely love for him to come next time we are on vacation

We’ve now had Maddy watch Buster three times, that’s just how good she is! When she first met him to see if it would be a good fit, she brought treats for him and was so soft with him he instantly warmed up. I couldn’t recommend her enough, she’s the best we’ve found on Rover. She goes above and beyond to make him feel extra loved while we are away, and she’s really great at sending updates!
