2. Kyle J.
“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.”
3. Oli L.
“She is amazing! Our dog was obviously pampered and much more relaxed than usual when we get back. I’ve never been so confident that she was treated well and our house was exceptionally well cared for as well. She even taught our old dog a new game. 100% recommended.”
4. Amanda M.
“Amanda was incredible with our dogs. She was so communicative which we really appreciated and we knew our dogs were getting a lot of attention and love. We will be using her again!”

“Steven was an incredible sitter! He was extremely responsive, gave great updates, and took wonderful care of our dog. Noodle was clearly well loved and also kept on her routine. We would highly recommended Steven for any of your dog needs.”
6. Egon P.
“Emily was wonderful with my two large dogs, who have a lot of energy and have some dog reactivity to be managed, so they are not the easiest dogs to look after. I was very nervous about leaving them with a new person (first time using Rover!) but Emily had come recommended and I felt much more comfortable after speaking with her and doing a meet-and-greet. She kept me updated with photos and video throughout the stay and I returned to two very happy content pups. Can confidently recommend Emily as a conscientious and attentive sitter.”
7. Keaton C.

8. Carly S.
“carly did a wonderful job taking care of my two pups and my older kitty. my pups are high energy and high velcro so they need to walk about 6 miles a day and a lot of cuddle time, she was more than happy to take care of their needs. carly sent a lot of pictures which i really appreciate and was on time for all of the check-ins we discussed. i’m a helicopter mom so i always like more messages and updates but she did a great job, i look forward to booking with carly again!”

“Jordan was great! She communicated well. She was responsible and best of all my Bear loves her! He’s picky with people so the fact that he loves her speaks volumes! I would hire her again without hesitation.”
11. Lindsay C.
“Lindsay was awesome! I had recently moved and had to leave the cats alone for the first time since the move. She went above and beyond taking care of them and keeping me updated. Thank you!”
12. Jp B.
“Jp was great with my mini dachshund picasso!!! I decided not to board him last minute and have a dog sitter come to my place instead and Jp was quick at responding, and took great care of picasso while I was away. I definitely will call her again in the future!”
13. Lynne F.
“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!”

“Gabrielle was incredible - this was my first time leaving my dog overnight in Richmond and Gabrielle sent so many pictures and updates. She is reliable and communicative and would love for her to watch my dog again!”
15. Emma R.
“Emma is super nice and chill, and she did a great job watching my cattle dog who can be anxious sometimes. She was very respectful of the apartment as well. Already rebooked with her!”
16. Brian W.
“Brian was great as a sitter for my pups and my home! I have two pups - one who can struggle with reactivity and another who can be stubborn in her houndy ways - and they were very comfortable with him from their first meeting on! They have never had anyone care for them in the house overnight that they did not already know, so I was nervous, but he did well assessing and responding to their vibes and needs and was excellent in his communication with me. I highly recommend Brian for your dog-walking or house-sitting needs!”
17. Jonathan C.

18. Jordan C.
“Jordan was great! She took care of all four of our animals while we were out of town (2 medium sized dogs, 2 cats). We got regular updates and returned to a clean & tidy home. I would recommend Jordan to anyone looking for pet care while they are away.”
19. Sarah M.
“If I could give 6 stars I would! My doggos loved Sarah, and she would constantly provide updates throughout the day. Extremely easy to connect with and I cannot rave enough about Sarah’s care and professionalism.”
20. Catherine C.
“Catherine was wonderful while I was out of town for a work trip. She communicated often and sent pictures, it was so reassuring! Will definitely use her again.”
