1. Elizabeth E.

“I entrusted my fur-daughter, Bella to Elizabeth, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From the very beginning, Elizabeth was professional, friendly, and clearly cared for animals. Communication was excellent throughout the entire process, and Elizabeth was extremely detail-oriented, asking great questions about Bella’s needs, habits and preferences. She provided so many regular updates, photos and videos that I knew Bella was in great hands. After we got back, the next morning our pup was sniffing around the house with her toy, looking to play with her buddy Elizabeth, that’s when I knew Bella really had bonded! I highly recommend Elizabeth to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy dog sitter. If you are looking for a responsible adult look no further! I will definitely be booking with Elizabeth again in the future!”


2. Bridget R.
“Bridget was great with our new puppy. Caring and reliable. We were happy to have her available to walk for us. Wish she still lived in the neighborhood”


3. Michael S.

“Michael did an amazing job watching my dog-reactive dog over Christmas. He’s communicative and reliable and provided excellent care on relatively short notice over the holiday. I will definitely use him as a sitter again!”


4. Kyra W.
“Kyra is very attuned to the needs of a pets and caters to them promptly. It is obvious how much she loves and cares for animals. In addition to being responsible and reliable, Kyra is friendly and enjoys being playful with pets. You and your animals would be lucky to have someone who cares so deeply for their well-being.”


5. Raechel P.
“Raechel is one of the nicest, sweetest, caring, hardworking, honest, reliable, and all around wonderful people I have ever known. Her LOVE for animals started at a very young age. We were unable to have pets when she was younger, so she used to walk our neighbors’ dogs and spend hours playing with them as well. She also read to dogs at our local library through a program called "Paws For Reading", which allowed her to further interact with animals (especially dogs). She did eventually get a beta fish and was very excited to finally have a pet that she could love and care for. Growing up, Raechel’s LOVE for animals only increased. Once she visited a stable with a friend and while she was interacting with the horses, all of the dogs there flocked to Raechel and surrounded her; each patiently waiting for his/her turn to get hugs and rubs. Raechel has her degree in agriculture and is looking forward to obtaining her veterinary degree as well. If you love your pet (family member) and believe they deserve the best love and care you can provide, your obvious choice is future vet and AMAZING person, Raechel! p.s.(She has also adopted a very precocious and special tuxedo kitty by the name of Forrest)”


6. Emma A.
“Emma Armenti is one of those rare people who just gets animals—kind, patient, and incredibly attentive. She’s had and loved her own dogs at home and has cared for others’ pets because they’ve witnessed how loving, caring and patient she is even with some of the more difficult dogs that she’s cared for in the past. Emma goes above and beyond, not just making sure pets are safe and happy, but also keeping communication clear and thoughtful. Her warmth, responsibility, and natural love for animals make her someone I’d trust again and again.”


7. Linda S.

“Linda was wonderful to work with and took amazing care of our home, 3 dogs and kitten. She was easy to communicate with. Linda was so sweet and took extra time and had great patience with our grumpy older dachshund. 5 stars!!!”


8. Kelsey O.

“Kelsey always does a great job with my pup!”


9. meghan l.

“Meghan was so sweet to my separation anxiety pom while we were at a wedding, staying in a hotel. The night before she had cried for 4 hours while we were at the rehearsal dinner and the hotel sent us a note that told us if it started again they'd require removal of our pup. So we hopped on Rover and asked Meghan to step in with just hours before she'd need to come. She saved us! And with Meghan our pup felt so at ease, she was quiet and played with with her toys (thanks for sending video! It made my husband feel okay to relax at the wedding). Yay!”


10. Melaniz V.
“Melaniz is really great and loves to take care of dogs. She is gentle and loving. She takes good care of my dog. She is very dedicated to her job too.”


11. Jessica F.

“Jessica and Gill were a dream come true for my geriatric, and quirky dogs. Every good thing that people say about them in these reviews was true--lots of amazing photos, very active with the dogs, communicative, responsible, great attitude, left the house in immaculate condition. We would definitely love to have them come again and stay with our dogs and house, it felt that they treated Ruby and Harry how we treat them, as beloved family members. We really couldn't give them a higher praise.”


12. Svetlana E.

“Lana clearly loves animals and spoiled my older cat with lots of love and care. We used her for a week and a long holiday weekend and Lana was very reliable.”


13. Kristen J.
“I’ve lived with Kristen for a little over a year now, so I get to see every day how much her cat Poppy means to her. She’ll do anything to keep Poppy happy - buying her toys, giving her treats, snuggling with her, giving her routine care, and just finding ways to make sure Poppy has the best life possible. She rescued her and probably saved her life! I’d definitely recommend Kristen to take care of your cats. She’ll show them endless amounts of love and make sure they’re taken care of to the best of her ability!”

“Bianca was awesome! She stayed overnight with my two doodles and was very communicative. She even washed the towels she used while she stayed here!!”


17. Natalie C.

“Natalie was so awesome! She watched out large bully for a long weekend at our home and kept us updated the whole time by sending us pictures and texts throughout our trip. She also took great care of our home. We will definitely be using her again!”


18. Jessica W.
“We have used Jessica multiple times to pet sit our 2 dogs Rocky and Nellie in our home when we go on family vacations. She’s responsible and very caring, she was playing daily with them in the backyard and she was sending us daily pics . I definitely recommend her to anyone who’s looking for a great dog sitter/ walker.”


19. Antonia G.

“Antonia was outstanding! We knew ahead of time our fur babies were in great hands and we were not disappointed. Antonia was in contact with us, sending photos and updating us along the way. Vacation was much more relaxing knowing our dogs were happily in their home being loved on. Such a great find for our family!”


20. Kyle C.

“Kyle was great with Jeffrey. Jeffrey is sick and needs a lot of care, which Kyle managed beautifully. He took good care of our home also. We would love to have Kyle back again!”
