1. Heather B.

“Heather was amazing!! She took such good care of Mac, left our home in great condition and communicated proactively. Also, we were so appreciative that she provided care for the weekend short notice (less than 24 hrs). Highly recommend.”


2. Clyanna L.

“Clyanna has been so friendly and responsive from the first meet-and-greet. We trusted her while we went on vacation with our baby pup, Lola, and she did amazing. I have no hesitation in saying that Clyanna is the right choice!”


3. Nyasia A.

“Nyasia is the best ! Our guys are always safe and well cared for by Nyasia. She was able to get through the worst weather to care for them, I'm so grateful.”


4. Joe P.

“It was so great to have Joe as a sitter for our pups while we were out of town. He understood that the dogs were not use to being alone over night and was very flexible. We hope to have Joe back in the very near future!”


5. Annabelle A.
About: I have 2 years of experience raising and training future guide dogs and am comfortable with dogs of all ages. I am also the mother of two beautiful cats and have cared for friends' cats with a range of needs. I am so excited to meet your furry friend and provide them with all the comfort, care, and fun they need! I am currently a graduate student with a flexible schedule. Most mornings and evenings are open, but I am also able to make other times work! I am a caring and attentive sitter and will always work hard to ensure your pets are safe and happy. I also make it a priority to respect any rules set for the home and will leave everything as I found it!


6. Alexis W.

“Alexis is very sweet. She and her boyfriend came to my home to do a meet & greet with my dog. Alexis was attentive and interested when learning how to care for my dog. Alexis sent updates when she arrived at my house, sent pictures of my dog, and let me know when she left. My dog is a pitbull and Alexis was excited about this - which warmed my heart lol. Will be hiring Alexis again! :)”


7. Emily Z.


“Emily was phenomenal and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! She watched Ozzy for 10 days and provided daily picture updates. We could tell from the pictures how much fun Ozzy was having. The place was spotless when we came home, and we (especially Ozzy) can’t wait to have her sit again! Thank you for everything, Emily!”


8. Rachel Z.

“Rachel was wonderful! She stayed with our 3 cats for 4 days and they were all very happy to have her. She was prompt when messaging and shared photos of the cats throughout her stay. We have a few special needs kitties, one of which is very shy. Our shy kitty doesn't warm up very quickly to strangers and even she took to Rachel within the first 24 hours. Her warmth and care made all the difference for them. We'll definitely have Rachel back the next time we need someone to stay. Thank you so so much!”


9. Angela L.
“Angela was the perfect sitter for my rescue pup. She was accommodating to my schedule and sent the best picture updates, I could tell how happy Loli was in her care. Thank you Angela!! 10/10 recommend☺️”




10. Andrea C.


“Andrea was great with Hubble! She's very communicative, punctual, and did a great job with Hubble's anxiety. We will definitely rebook with her.”


11. Ozzy J.

“Literally the best sitter! This was my first time using a sitter from rover. I knew from the profile and meet and greet this was going to be a long term sitter for my pets! All 4 dogs were cared for well even my old chihuahua who gets depressed when I travel. She also updated me while on vacation on them.”




12. Natasha B.

“Nastasha is excellent. She house-sat for my two large (70lb each,) high-energy dogs and indoor cat for 6 nights while we were away on vacation. Her communication was fast and clear and we came back to happy and settled pups. She sent photos and videos that gave us a lot of peace of mind. We also live in the country a bit and Natasha did great with all that accompanies that. Highly reccomend!”


13. Merissa M.

“Merissa is so wonderful, kind, prompt, and genuinely caring!! My boy loved her and she took amazing care of him!! Highly recommend her for all your pet care needs!”


14. Amanda C.

“THE BEST! Amanda was so sweet to my babies and left my home in pristine condition!! I am definitely a repeat customer. Plenty of love and pics sent throughout my week away!! THANK YOU!!”


15. Glenmary A.

“Glenmary and her partner were phenomenal! I asked for a last minute puppy sitting (plus two older animals, a husky and a cat) and she was very responsive and even managed to do a meet and greet. 10/10, will definitely book again! Thank you!!”


16. Sydney W.

“Sydney was just wonderful with my pup! She stayed the night with him and gave me great, detailed updates and videos… made sure he was well cared for and got plenty of attention while I was gone. I would not hesitate to hire her again,”


17. Katrina D.

“Katrina is courteous, punctual and reliable. She was a great dog sitter and took great care of our sweet senior dog exactly according to our requests and sent updates and pictures regularly. We highly recommend her and will use her again whenever the need arises. Thank you, Katrina!”


18. Destiny S.
“Destiny was such a wonderful caretaker for my fur babies when I was on vacation! She watched my two cats, and one of them truly has dog energy so I was glad that Destiny was able to keep him entertained. He can be quite a handful. I'm so glad she was able to keep them from destroying my furniture which I'm sure they would've done because they get crazy when they get lonely. But she kept them well fed, well entertained, and well groomed! The older one is a long hair, and she can get pretty matted, so I asked Destiny to use the pet brush every once in a while. Destiny also sent me pictures of my babies, to show me how they were doing. She was such a stellar companion for my kitties, couldn't recommend her more!”


19. Allie O.

“Allie was wonderful! We had her do house sitting while away for a week. She was tidy in the house and so responsive to any communications. Dependable and trust worthy. She took great care of the pups and spent a lot of time with them. Would definitely hire her again and recommend her to anyone looking!”




20. Victoria F.
“Victoria is a very responsible person who I would 100% have her take care of my English Mastiff, Thor. She is great with dogs and understands their needs. She loves animals, and has great communication! She would be a wonderful choice to look after anyone's pets”
