We’re new to town, and it’s always a little nerve-racking finding someone new to watch your baby. I’m so grateful we found Woody to watch our dog Woody (meant to be, right!?) in our home. I’m a pretty nervous pet parent, but Woody made me feel totally at ease from the start and took such great care of our boy. The updates and photos were perfect, and I knew both Woody and our home were in great hands. Highly recommend, and we look forward to booking with Woody again!

Erica did such an amazing job house sitting for us and taking care of our cat and dog. She is excellent with communication, very quick to respond, and she sent us lots of photos and updates like we asked. She made us feel very comfortable and confident the entire time we were away. We're very grateful to have had our pets and home in such great hands during our trip!

Will 100% book another house sitting with Steven! I do not leave my anxious and timid Chihuahua with just anyone. She requires time to get to know people before trusting them. I was leaving for a day trip and needed someone to stay with my girl. Steve was easy to book and communicative throughout the entire process. We had a couple hours of overlap between me leaving and him coming in to take care of her. Within the first few minutes of meeting him and discussing her needs, I could tell he was going to be able to win my pup over. He kept me updated and let me know how she was doing at several points. It was so reassuring to have an attentive individual keep her happy and let me be worry-free for my trip. Thanks, Steven, for your patience and I appreciate you being so warm towards my pup! If you have a rescue pup, like mine, and are nervous about who to leave them with, Steven is your guy!

I almost didn’t want to leave a review because I’d love to keep Aleksi to ourselves 😊, but he is one of the best Rovers we’ve ever had. I’m always nervous leaving Woody with anyone, and Aleksi made me feel completely at ease from start to finish. His communication was fantastic, the updates were thoughtful, and he took amazing care of both Woody and our home. We came home to a happy dog, a spotless house, and total peace of mind. I can’t recommend Aleksi highly enough and would book with him again in a heartbeat!

Mo is so incredibly thoughtful and kind. He is great with our 12.5 year old boxer. He keeps up with her medication schedule, sent plenty or updates and pictures, and is just super communicative overall. With this being our second house/pet sitting experience with Mo, I can definitely say he is our new go to. Couldn’t recommend him more.

Sterling is fantastic! From our meet-and-greet, she was warm, friendly, and immediately put me at ease. The pups took to her right away, and I felt confident leaving them in her care. The photos, videos, and updates throughout the stay were much appreciated. Her communication was excellent, and it was reassuring to know how the dogs were doing while I was away. It was clear they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. The Happy Meal and I highly recommend Sterling to anyone looking for someone reliable, caring, and communicative. I'll definitely be booking with her again.
