“Dan and Veronique are great pet sitters! They made our golden retriever feel right at home while she stayed with them for 10 days. Our dog came back happy and stress free! I will definitely be back and highly recommend!”


2. Jamie J.

“Luna is timid when she leaves home, but Jamie is always so patient with her. :) Luna has been there 2-3 times now and I feel confident to keep bringing her to Jamie.”


3. Dorothy V.

“Dorothy and her family took excellent care of Zuri. Their dog Tanner is a sweetheart and got along well with Zuri. Dorothy was easy to communicate with and sent daily updates and photos of her adventures with Zuri during her stay. It's so nice to go on a vacation and not have any worries about our dog. We will definitely have Dorothy care for Zuri again. I would highly recommend her to care for your pet.”


4. Gloria T.

“I was nervous leaving Meesha for the first time but felt better once I met Gloria. She replied right away when I asked how she was doing and sent a picture. Gloria and the kids tired Meesha right out during the weekend as she slept for several hours when she got home. I would definitely bring Meesha at Gloria’s again!”


5. Chanelle L.

“We felt very comfortable leaving Molly with them. She sent pictures of the two dogs just satisfied being together. I would definitely recommend them to paw-rents anytime.”


6. Kathy J.

“I highly recommend Kathy. It is such a relief for me to have someone like Kathy take care of my senior dog Lucky who gets quite anxious at times. She made sure Lucky received his daily medications and provided him with excellent care. Thank you again Kathy for taking Lucky on such short notice!”


7. Justin H.

“I was a bit concerned about my first try at a boarding service by private sitter as my dog just moved in a new city and new home with us. It turned out really well. My dog enjoyed playing with Justin’s dog and we were happy to see him from photos Justin sent us. Highly recommend :)”


8. Lesa N.

“I had a great experience using Lesa’s pet sitting services. She was responsive to messages, worked very well with scheduling, and provided quality care to my dog Wally. She made me feel completely comfortable leaving my dog with her even though it was the first time. I wont think twice before requesting her again:) Thank you Lesa!”


9. Cassandra A.


“Had to go out of town unexpectedly last minute and when I texted Cassandra her response was an immediate “of course” and 20 minutes later, our dog was there. Cassandra sent pictures while we were away and he looked so happy having fun with his furry friends. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️”


10. Amber & Laura T.
“If you are looking for a loving, caring, attentive pet sitter Amber & Laura should be your first choice. They will have lots of cuddles, walks and playtime while with Amber & Laura. You will rest easy while your puppy is with Amber & Laura. You will not be dissapointed!”


11. Rachel Irene Y.
“Hi... i need to add something coz i forgot to tell how rachel took care of my furbabies for me... See.. my babies are kinda moody specially the female and the male is quite territorial too, a bit hard to manage but rachel somehow did quite well with handling them... i think dogs can sense people's aura and rachel gives that kind of soothing aura that dog likes that even moody dogs, at least my kind of babies moods can be sooth.. Among other sitters i had, rachel was the one who did good, the others were a bit afraid of my babies.. I can truly recommend her..she's very responsible in taking care of other people's pet..”


12. Kaitlyn M.

“Fantastic Dog sitter!! Highly recommend this sitter. I’ve gone to others with some disappointments , but great vibe with this Rover dog sitter & with my dog. My Dog loved his time there. He was loved & cared for very well. Very attentive to his needs & played with him & spoiled him like their own family. One on one time & very carefully cared for. Great people! Thank you so so much Katey!! ❤️ I am very grateful.”


13. Janice Z.

“Janice was so amazing with my VERY shy kitty, Miles. She was super patient with him and during his stay with Janice he went from hiding in a little blanket cave to cuddling on the couch with her. She sent me loads of photos and videos if him so I knew he was ok and she always was quick to respond to messages. She was also very friendly and accommodating when we had last minute changes to our pick up plans. I highly recommend Janice, she's amazing! 10/10”


14. Briana G.

“Gus had a wonderful time and Briana was great! She was nice enough to take him last minute. She also kept me informed on how Gus was settling in by sending pictures! Definitely recommend :)”


15. Lisa C.

“Lisa took excellent care of Zuri and sent daily updates, photos, and videos of their adventures. Lisa and kids are genuine animal lovers and will treat your pet as their own. Zuri didn't want to leave! I highly recommend Lisa to care for your pet.”
16. Kreston P.

“Kreston, his wife and their son took amazing care of our dog Memphis! We enjoyed the photos and updates sent throughout the weekend & will definitely be using them again when we are out of town ☺️”

“James was wonderful with my shitzu Willy. He sent me pictures and notes on how he was doing. Thank you for being there for myself and my dog. It meant a lot to have a getaway knowing he was in great hands.”


18. Paige S.

“Paige is fantastic. She agreed to watch my boys last minute. They absolutely loved their time with her. Both my dogs were provided with more than enough physical activity and were exhausted and happy when I picked them up. Would definitely recommend Paige to anyone who needs an overnight sitter.”


19. Renee B.
“She was amazing with our animals she made sure they were let out of the use every few hours and went for a walk in the morning and afternoon. Great for last minute sitting.”


20. Tyler R.
“Tyler is an amazing dog & cat sitter! She was incredibly attentive and caring, making sure my dog felt comfortable and happy during my time away. She provided regular updates and cute pictures, which reassured me that my baby was well taken care of. My dog seemed so happy and well-cared for, and I could tell he enjoyed his walks and playtime. Tyler followed all my instructions perfectly, ensuring my dog’s routine was maintained. Overall, I highly recommend Tyler to anyone looking for someone reliable and caring. She made my time away stress-free, knowing my furry baby was getting all the love and taken care of!”
