Nancy’s incredibly communicative and caring when dogsitting for our 2 small pups and my mom’s small Havanese. We felt our pups were in great hands and she was easy to work with when we had some last minute changes. One of our dogs is anxious and reactive - Nancy was thoughtful and patient in meeting him which we greatly appreciative. Will definitely hire her in the future.

Violet had good communication and was really good with my dog. My dog is more than a handful, so it was nice to see that she really liked her and took care of her. She left my house cleaner than I left it!

Hollie was great with our dog Cosita while we were away. Cosita is very timid but Hollie gave her space until she was comfortable. We came back to a super clean house and happy dog. Would totally recommend!

I recently hired Kyle as a house and dogsitter, and I couldn't be more impressed with his service. From the moment he stepped into my home, I felt at ease knowing my house and beloved pets were in capable hands. Not only did he maintain the cleanliness and security of my home, but he also went above and beyond in caring for my furry companions. He followed all instructions meticulously, ensuring my pets' routines were maintained and that they received plenty of love and attention. Kyle demonstrated exceptional responsibility and reliability throughout his stay, and I returned to find my house in impeccable condition and my pets happy and healthy. I highly recommend Kyle for anyone in need of a trustworthy and caring house and dogsitter. His professionalism and genuine love for animals truly set him apart.

Thank you David for providing such excellent care and safety for our sweet Gigi. I appreciate the pictures you sent daily and keeping me informed how she was doing. Thank you for taking her on walks. I really appreciate you keeping the house in excellent order. David even changed the guestroom bed linens and washed the sheets. He went above and beyond expectation I would definitely rehire David.

After a few negative experiences with other sitters on Rover were so relieved to have found Kathleen. She was amazing with our pup, a great communicator and we returned home to a clean house and happy dog. We’ll certainly request to use her again!

Oli is wonderful! Our pups need special care (one is a blind tripawd and the other wears shoes for all outings) and Oli did an excellent job caring for them - keeping up with all of their special needs, medications, and of course giving them lots of love.

Aidan was great! I left my anxious hound dog, Dean, in his care over a long weekend. He was very responsive, and proactive about sending updates with adorable pictures. Dean does not warm up to everyone, but was so sad when Aidan left and was stuck with me again. I'll be using him again in the future.

Lynne was a great house sitter and did an excellent job taking care of our fur baby. She shared photos every day and even left a sweet message to welcome us home. It was comforting knowing our geriatric lab had company, especially in the evening, while we were out of town. I would highly recommend Lynne and look forward to rebooking with her in the future!
