“Lavinia was excellent when watching our dog. She provided plenty of updates and pictures while we were away. We will absolutely be booking her again for our next trip”

“We had Shelby watch our two large, energetic dogs while we were away for a long weekend. It was our first time using a sitter via rover and Shelby made the experience amazing! She took excellent care of our dogs and we felt very comfortable with her being in and looking after our home. She sent photo updates and made sure they were very well looked after! When our flight was delayed on the way home, she was even willing to help us out beyond the initial time booked. We would 100% utilize Shelby’s services again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter for their pets!”

About: I’ve taken care of some of my family and friends pets for about a year now. I really enjoy taking care of them, playing with them and taking them on a walks. I’m a student at St John Fisher, I also play football, most of my football stuff will be in the early mornings. So I just need to be able to work around that and my class schedule I will show up to the house and take care of the pets and anything that needs to be done with them, I am open to exploring options
“This is the 2nd time that Ona was watched our dog and he loves her so much! We didn’t have to worry at about him at all when we went on vacation, and we came back to a clean house!”

“Lauren was stellar with our large bunch of needy pets. We have an older cat who just wants to sit on a lap to be pet, a shy kitten who takes several days to warm up into his most energetic self, an old dog with several medications who needs frequent short, slow walks due to health issues, and a parrot. They all warmed up big time to her by the 2nd night and our dog would guard her when she got into bed (which she’s never done to anyone outside of family before). Lauren was also great at communication during the meet and greet to get all pet info, sent daily updates with pictures once we were gone, and even washed the sheets/towels she used while here, took out any trash she used, watered our plants daily, and folded the cleaned bedding/towels. I cannot recommend her highly enough.”

“Shayna and her boyfriend were very nice and my dogs seemed to like them. I booked Shayna for a New Year's Eve stayover. I do wish she would have let me know beforehand that she was bringing a guest but instead, she just showed up with him and although he seemed very nice it was a bit unsettling. We usually like to vet the people who are staying in our house. She also did not communicate that she would be coming and going as often as she did. But the house was left in pristine condition.”

“Laquan had a challenging assignment: looking after 4 vivacious French Bulldogs for a couple days. One in particular, required special handling because he is moody. Laquan rose to the challenge and kept the peace.”

“I can’t begin to share how reliable and helpful Alicia was. This was a last minute house sitting for our pup and she was so helpful and kind. She’s walked her often and sent us pictures and even helped us take our trash out while we were out even though she didn’t have to. She’s a true gem and we cannot recommend her enough!”

“Saoirse was absolutely amazing!!! We have never used a pet sitting service before, so we were looking for someone who would be the best fit, and she certainly was!!! She sent frequent photos, videos and updates, and was great with communication! The pets looked so happy and well taken care of for the duration of her stay. It gave us peace of mind while we were away. The house was clean and the pets were happy upon our return. She paid special attention to the safety concerns we had with one of our more reactive dogs to ensure the safety and well being of all of our pets! We have already re-booked with Saoirse for next month!”

“David saved the day when he stayed with our special needs dog and senior cat. We trusted they were in good hands and I am not sure they noticed we were even gone!”

“It’s safe to say that James is the best dog sitter we’ve ever had! He is timely, provides pictures, great communication, and is so great with our dog. He watched our German Shepherd for 5 nights and my mind was at ease that she was in good hands the whole time. He is respectful and treated our home like it was his own. We had a fantastic experience and will definitely be using James (& Katherine) in the future!”

“Ricky did an amazing job taking care of our three dogs in our home! We have already booked him again for next month and as long as he wants to continue staying with our little pet family, he will be our first choice!”

“Corwin was responsive, very clearly communicated with us, and made sure our pups were taken care of while we were away. He sent frequent updates and was very professional. We really enjoyed having Corwin take care of our pups and would happy to have him do it again in the future!”

“Lynette did a great job staying with our dog and two cats! She was very responsive to my texts and sent several pictures throughout our trip. I could tell they were all well taken care of. Thanks, Lynette!”

“Nikole took such good care of my dog! He doesn’t take to new people easily but Nikole made him feel comfortable around her very quickly. She was very prompt and sent me lots of updates and pics. I would book with Nikole again for sure!”
“Emily was great - very attentive and responsible and left a very happy dog and a very clean house. We will definitely use her again and recommend her to our friends. We feel so fortunate to have found her.”

Corwin is fantastic! He took such good care of my dog, my house, and the other critters while my family and I were away. He is very respectful and accommodating. I felt like I did not have to worry about anything while my house and pets were in his care. Corwin has a very calm presence and definitely has a "way" with dogs. He put us all at ease. He is also great at photographing dogs! He sent me beautiful pictures that really captured the joy of playing with and caring for our dog. Wonderful!
Portia was the perfect person to house sit and take care of Tupper while we were on our honeymoon. From our first meeting with Portia, we had zero concerns about leaving him with a near stranger for 10 days. Portia communicated efficiently and regularly, she met every expectation we had and we came back to a well taken care of boy. We would recommend Portia to anyone and look forward to working with her again!

We hired Komal to stay at our house for our two dogs - one of which is quite high energy and anxious and the other who is 18 and needs some special attention. We were very happy with how everything went for the long weekend away. The dogs were happy and healthy when we got back and the house was neat and tidy. I really enjoyed getting to know Komal in the visit and got a great vibe right from the get go. We loved that she has so many years of experience. She made the whole thing very easy and sent plenty of updates - including what has become one of our all time favorite photos. I would absolutely recommend her very highly to other folks.

Maggie and Morgan were AWESOME. They were genuinely endearing, very attentive to our babies, and extremely respectful of our home and wishes. The text and pics updates made us feel at ease, and we didn't feel any anxiety away from our pets which SAYS A LOT. They went above and beyond, leaving our home exactly as we left it (maybe better!). They are super sweet people, and I think maybe our pets like them better than us.... We would love for them to sit for us again!!!

John was fantastic with our pets. We have two big dogs - one with some separation anxiety and the other is dog-reactive. He took excellent care of them and was exceptionally communicative and responsive - all the things that allowed us to enjoy our weekend away and know that our beloved pets were in good hands.
Helen was wonderful with our puppy Ayla and treated her like one of her own. We really appreciated the updates and adorable photos, it gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It’s obvious that she’s a dog lover and is fantastic with animals. We would absolutely recommend her to everyone!
