1. Patricia W.

“Patricia was absolutely wonderful! Our pup was very well cared for, and the house was just as we left it upon our return. Patricia came by twice prior to our departure to make sure she had all the details and to get to know our Great Dane. She sent photos and updates while we were away, and she was extremely kind and professional throughout. We definitely recommend Patricia, and we will use her again for any pet or housesitting needs.”


2. Heather W.

“Heather was absolutely amazing!!!! I will call her for every trip from now on. She went above and beyond what a typical rover would do. I can’t recommend her enough!!”

4. Michael P.


“Will definitely use Michael again! I hired Michael to watch our house and our dog while we went away for the weekend. He took great care of my house and would send us updates of my dog playing and having fun! Highly recommend Michael!”




5. Kristen T.


“Kristen, is outstanding. She is an outstanding listener and very customer oriented regarding what we told her when we first mt her at our consult. Her communications during the stay are also great. She sent us many photos of our dog, Spud, either eating, walking or just enjoying himself! He was very happy and calm when we arrived home, which is the hallmark of an excellent pet sitter. That is that your pet is content, happy, well cared for and SAFE. 5 Star all the way. Took excellent care of our our house also. Thank you Kristin.”


6. Taylor D.


“Taylor did a wonderful job taking care of my pup! He was attentive and communicated frequently with me. I never had to worry about my pup while I was away. My pup was so happy and I could tell he had a great time with Taylor! I would definitely recommend Taylor!”


7. Michelle H.

“Once again, Michelle was amazing and super helpful. Due to a death in the family I reached out to Michelle with minimal notice and she was incredibly helpful. With all of the stress and pressure of dealing with a death in my family it was comforting to know that Annabelle was well taken care of. Thanks again Michelle and to all those out there looking for a sitter for their pet there is none better than Michelle!”


8. Alexandra L.

“My husband and I were very pleased with Alexandra! She communicated throughout the time she watched our babies. We will definitely be biking her again.”


9. Megan L.

“Megan was the sweetest and so good to our puppies! One of my dogs had to have emergency surgery a few days before our trip, and megan did so great facilitating her medications and letting me know how she was doing. I look forward to using megan again!”


10. Sarah C.
“Sarah and her children are loving, kind, and hard-working. I know their hearts, and I would trust them taking care of my dog and my home.”


11. Britta B.

“Britta was amazing! She did a great job of taking care of my dog Henry and even my cockatiel Murray. She was very communicative and responsive, texting plenty of photos during her stay. Both my house and my animals were clearly well cared for while I was away. I would definitely use Britta again! Highly recommended 😊”


12. Susan, Brian, Jesse & Nicholas I.
“Susan and her family have cared for pets and done a great job! They have their own dog and he is wonderful and sweat. I would recommend Susan and her family for pet care.”


13. Anna C.
“I have watched dogs with anna 3 or 4 times. Every time we get a new dog to watch and even when we sit our regular doggos, anna treats them as her best friend. She is caring and loving but can wrangle the dogs when she needs to. Anna doesn't just watch your dogs, she loves them, and treats them as her own. Your dog could be big or small and anna will be able to swoon them with her pets and scratches. She even has an affinity for dogs who she is not watching. We can be walking on the street and when she sees a dog, her whole body lights up. If the owner allows it, there is nothing that can get between Anna and her love of dogs. She is also just very responsible in general. Anna is someone I know I can trust to send my customers to. When I can't sit for a family, she is the first name I give. Anna will be there for as long as you need her there. She is great at overnight care and makes time to not only feed and let out her dogs, but to play with and love on the dogs she watches. Anna won't let you or your precious dogs down.”


14. Jessica B.

“Jessica was great and did everything I asked of her! She sent lots of photos and responded quickly when necessary! I could tell when I got home my dog was not stressed and still very happy.”


15. Rebecca L.

“We felt so comfortable and calm knowing our koda bear was in safe and loving care !”


16. Tatyana S.

“Tatyana was amazing, we received pictures during her check ins! Both our girls looked very happy! We would definitely use her again in the future.”


17. Nicole P.
“Nicole has cared for my golden retriever multiple times, and has given only the best care. She cares for my pup like she’s her own. Highly recommend!!”


18. Breanne H.
“Breanne is great with our rescue husky mutts (medium and large dogs). She is very reliable and manages my dogs well even when one is a little skittish. She also communicates after each dog walk about how they did and walks the full time requested, which is great! I would trust her with my dogs any time.”
