1. Victoria B.

“Victoria went above and beyond for our girls! She kept the schedule she indicated, followed all of our (many) instructions and kept us informed of medical emergencies when needed. I would recommend her for any pet sitting!!”


2. Yasmin M.

“Yasmin is WONDERFUL!!! We were so appreciative of her quick and thorough communication, cute photos, and flexibility. Most importantly she took such great care of our fur babies and they absolutely love her! Would definitely recommend Yasmin to anyone looking for a responsible and caring sitter who will treat your babies like her own.”


3. Mackenzie W.

“Our senior dogs tend to get really scared with new people and are high anxiety when we get home. This time was different - they were happy, calm and went right back to their normal routine when we got home. We had daily photo/video updates which was so appreciated. Highly recommend!!”


4. Ashlee M.

“Ashlee did a wonderful job housesitting for our 3 dogs! She was considerate of their routine and respectful of our home. She sent regular updates with pictures or videos and communicated her arrival and departure. All in all a wonderful experience working with her!”


5. Allison G.

“We are so pleased with the care Allison took of our dogs! She provided regular communication and photos. She also went above and beyond with taking care of our home without being asked. That level of care and service is unmatched and we are so grateful to have found her!!”


6. Jenna R.

“This was our first experience with Rover. Jenna kept us updated with sending us pictures of Sophie, and was quick to respond to our messages. She also left the house picked up, with the garbage taken out, and the bed sheets in the wash!”


7. Nadine H.

“Nadine was absolutely professional, always sent me pictures and little notes about anything going on with my dog. Followed instructions to the letter.”


8. Brenda E.


“Brenda was awesome! She was flexible when our plans changed and the communication was great from start to finish. It was obvious from the photos she sent that our dogs were very comfortable with her. The house looked great when we got home. We will definitely have her pet sit for us again!”


9. Jessica D.

“Jessica was wonderful with our dogs and the overnights she did for us while we were out of town. She kept us notified of how things were going! Thank you Jessica!!!”


10. Andrea M.

“Andrea did a great job sitting with our dog. Zoey was happy when we returned home. I appreciated the updates throughout the stay. Our house was clean and neat upon our return.”


11. Summer M.

“Summer did an amazing job. This was our first experience with in-home care and it was really reassuring to know that Bama was getting good care. She noticed if there were any issues, worked with me when things came up, and, most importantly gave her love and attention when we weren't there. Her vet tech training gave me peace of mind since Bama is an older dog. She sent pics and videos, which I really appreciated. I would definitely use Summer again if the need arose. Thanks, Summer!”


12. Emily P.

“Emily did such a great job watching my special needs dog! She was attentive, caring, and dedicated to making sure he was safe and cared for properly. She sent photos and videos everyday! She kept my place clean and made the bed. Highly recommended!”


13. Molly B.


“Our dog is a little nervous and he seemed to do great with Molly staying with him for the weekend! We got periodic photo updates so we could see how he was doing. We’d definitely have Molly stay with him again!”


14. Jess P.

“Jess is amazing and we will def use her again! She went above and beyond even getting meds from vet ! Our boys are very happy!”


15. Tatum M.
“Our Chewy adores Tatum and her snuggles while we are away! We know he is in good hands when we’re not at home and that is a huge relief for us. Tatum is very responsible, responsive, and communicates well! We highly recommend Tatum for all of your pet sitting needs!”


16. Tristan C.
“Very few dog sitters love dogs more than Tristan. I have found him to be very reliable, giving me frequent updates and sending photos of how she is doing. Tristan has done both “stop-by” walks/check ins for us and also spent more than a week at a time caring for our dog and our house. He enjoys taking the dog on walks to the park and on the trails. He is trustworthy, wise, responsible, and conscientious. Your dog or cat could not be in better hands.”


17. Javon L.

“Javon was a phenomenal sitter and I would highly recommend for anyone looking to have someone care for their pet. She was communicative and very thorough, plus my pup really loved his time with Javon. 5 stars!”


18. Ian T.

“Ian watched our two dogs for several days. They were well taken care of and all of our directions were followed. We received picture updates and Ian responded to any messages sent.”


19. Austyn E.

“Austyn has so far proven to be reliable on the first visit of house sitting! He stayed with my sweet girl the entire weekend I had to be away at work! He was kind and respectful to my home! He agreed to be my go to sitter and so I’ll leave more reviews as things progress. High-key, I feel that he’s a great fit for me and my doggo and really glad he will be our reoccurring sitter when he’s available! Im a poor college age kid too, but when I able to afford tipping him more, I feel he’s worth it! I feel at peace with him and didn’t feel the need to check in multiple times a day like with other sitters. He holds to his word and commitment to care for your doggo! :)”


20. Sophia W.

“Sophia was great! She stayed with Tiffany while we Al were out of town for the holidays and when we got home Tiffany was so happy and calm. I’m always nervous leaving our senior girl with anyone, but Sophia sent us updates and pictures and made sure everything went smoothly.”
