1. Kimberly D.

“We were able to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing that our doggies and cat were in good hands with Kimberly. She was very communicative and sent a lot of adorable pictures. You should definitely trust and hire Kimberly.”


2. Kenzie H.

“Kenzie and Casey took great care of my dog and cats. My pets were clearly were happy with them and received a lot of love. I felt very comfortable with them taking care of my animals and home while I was gone and 100% will ask them again for my next trip. Kenzie was even able to medicate my very scaredy cat! Thank you so much Kenzie and Casey!”


3. Beckie B.

“So glad to have a trusty worthy and reliable dog sitter like Beckie! Gone for two weeks and I knew my pups would be in good hands and could enjoy our vacation!!”


4. Ana Cynthia P.

“Ana was great with my dog and checked in a lot with pictures. I have a big dog that can be leash reactive, so we are always looking for people who can handle him - she did great!”


5. Gregory A.

“Our pup adores Greg, and so do we! Greg kept our sweet pup exercised, rested, fed, happy, entertained and safe while we were on our first trip away from our little guy. We felt so happy knowing Mookie was in Greg’s capable hands. Would recommend Greg to anyone, and can’t wait to have him with our sweet pup again soon. Thanks, Greg!”


6. Annie D.
“I hired Annie to walk my two dogs and asked her to spend a night with them as I traveled for work. She provided both dogs with great care! Taking the time to send me updates and giving them extra attention.”




7. Adam S.
“Adam is so caring and loyal. He understands and connects with dogs on a deeper and pure level, and with folks alike. He’s the kind of kind human that genuinely sees the good in everyone, and our fur friends respond accordingly with respect, ease, and playfulness. A walk around the neighborhood, meal and play time, or seeing the need for a calm space—your dog will be in capable caring hands. Our 16-year-old, 10-pound Maltipoo needs a little extra TLC and took to Adam immediately and happily greets him at the door every time he arrives. Our family fully trusts Adam with our beloved dogs.”


8. Carole Anne P.

“CA was absolutely amazing! Our kittens adored her from the moment she walked in. Every update she sent—whether a picture or a video—showed them curled up in her lap, purring and completely at ease. It gave me so much peace of mind to see how happy and relaxed they were in her care. She went above and beyond in every way: super communicative, incredibly kind, respectful of our home, and clearly experienced with animals. She took the time to play with them, keep their space tidy, and follow every instruction perfectly. It felt like leaving them with a trusted friend. We came home to two very happy and well-loved kittens. I would recommend CA to absolutely anyone looking for a warm, reliable, and truly wonderful cat sitter. She’s the best!”


9. Lilian P.
“Lili is a great pet sitter! She took care of my puppy for 2 days, and I can’t wait to have her come back when I go on my next trip. She took my dog on walks, fed him on time, and made sure he was comfortable in my absence. She sent constant updates and left my house cleaner than she found it. I highly recommend hiring Lili to babysit your pet!”


10. Casey S.

“Casey was absolutely incredible with my (almost) 16 year old Lhasa Apso. This was my first time using Rover or having anyone other than family and close friends watch my dog and I felt uneasy and uncertain hiring someone I didn't know to stay in my home and take care of my dog, especially now that she's a senior. Admittedly, I've been reluctant to take trips as my dog is aging and has more needs now. Casey made me feel very at peace with updates throughout my business trip including photos and messages. This allowed me to feel more comfortable being fully present with my trip. I will definitely use Casey every time I travel as long as she's available and now feel completely comfortable traveling again, for the first time in a few years.”




11. Allison B.

“Allison did a pre-visit to meet our pup and was on time. She had a very relaxed but in control attitude with dog. Ended up watching our granddog too! They were relaxed and happy when we returned. I highly recommend Allison.”


12. Leslie C.

“Lesley was a fantastic dog sitter for our 15-year-old English springer spaniel Reese. She was very thoughtful in learning everything she could about Reese and her needs and her habits. She was prompt and accommodating. I would highly recommend Leslie and we look forward to having her take care of Reese again”


13. Lauren C.

“Lauren is amazing, she couldn’t have worked out better! She made sure our old pup (with urine leaking issues) was well taken care of. She stayed at our home with Brewer and kept the house nice and clean. She was very communicative and sent daily photos. Brewer seemed so happy and really loved her. I would highly recommend her. Thank you, Lauren!”


14. Gracie A.

“Gracie spent 5 days with our GSD, Mia, spending every night with her at our house. She did a tremendous job of looking after her and keeping us informed with pictures of how things were going every day. We could not have asked for a better experience. Will absolutely ask Gracie for future availability to look after Mia. Thank you again, Gracie!”


15. Donna & John C.



“John stayed at our house for three nights with my crazy golden adolescent. He sent nothing but positive feedback about Rosie. Either he is extremely patient or he is an official dog whisperer. Seriously though, he was great! He was very quick to respond to our request and set up a meet and greet right away. He sent lots of photos with my pup looking very relaxed! Thanks John! We will definitely be back!”


16. Sarah D.

“Sarah did an amazing job taking care of our puppy and our house! She was very communicative which gave us such peace of mind. Our puppy loved hanging out with her. From long walks to cuddles, our puppy loved being with Sarah the entire time.”


17. Patrick H.

“Patrick was awesome with our senior pups! He took them on lots of walks, which they loved, and made sure to give them plenty of cuddles. It was so nice to come home to happy pups. I also really appreciated how much care he took of our home— even got our trash out on the curb for us. Would definitely use him again for future petsitting.”


18. Arun S.

“Arun took great care of Penny Took her on nice long walks and left our home spotless. Highly recommend him for your pets”


19. Kiara L.

“Kiara was wonderful! I was out of town for 4 days and she house sat/watched my pup :) she gave daily updates with photos and is delightful to work with!!”
