Nancy went above and beyond caring for our boy and home while we were away! Additionally, we appreciated her responsive communication and the extra time she took for two meet and greets. We highly recommend her services.

Jessica took great care of Lexi. She also went above what u expected of her by vacuuming dog hair up and washing bedding and putting clean sheets on my bed. Upon returning home after a long day in airports and not arriving until midnight; it was great not needing to change sheets. I will definitely call on Jessuca again when I need a pup sitter. She was great.

Torina was excellent at caring for my 2 dogs over the weekend. Our dogs have different activity levels and needs, and she was great with both of them. She sent lots of pictures while we were away and left the house clean. I've already booked her again for another stay:)

Wow – I can’t say enough good things about Pricilla! My husband and I have nicknamed her the Mary Poppins of Rover sitters. She cared for our two large dogs over the weekend and sent photos/video/updates at every meal, and various times throughout the days. She followed all my instructions and even went above and beyond what I’d expect from a Rover sitter. When I got home my house was spotless – cleaner than I left it! She gifted the boys some toys and treats and spent lots of time playing with them. She also came an hour earlier than I asked and stayed an hour later. And one other great story I have from her stay – she looked at the ingredients of the broth I bought to put over the boys kibble and let me know it contained onion – so she avoided using it, and advised me to get a different broth. So amazing – I would have never thought to look at that. Her attention to detail and level of service is unmatched. She’ll be my first call every time I’m in need of a sitter.

Maddie watched my cat for the weekend while I was out of town for a concert. She knew the quirks of my cat and was able to do everything needed to ensure she was taken care of while I was gone.
