Brianna is so amazing, would 100% recommend her to take care of your pet! She is so kind and asked many great questions about our pet and home at our meet and greet. She took care of our dog for over two weeks and sent daily pictures and updates. She played with him, took him on long walks and brushed him. Our dog clearly loved her and her communication made us feel so reassured on our trip! She also left our place very clean. We are so lucky to have found her!

Brianna came in at the last minute for us to take care of everyone and after getting home it’s clear how much love everyone got from her thank you so much for taking such great care of everyone and sitting for us.

We contacted Pablo very last minute due to a death in the family that we had to leave town for right away. Pablo was very responsive and worked with us to meet quickly. He was very friendly and polite. He was also flexible as we were unsure of our return date and he accommodated our schedule. He sent daily updates on our dog. I had not used the app before so I was a bit nervous having someone stay in our home while we were gone, but Pablo was great. He also was good with providing all of the medications needed as our dog was also sick and recovering from a serious illness. We will definitely book with him again when we need a sitter! Thank you, Pablo!

Ya know when you find an amazing hidden gem restaurant and it's so good you don't even want to tell people about it? Thays Samantha. She's outstanding and took SUCH great care of our two dogs as well as our home. One of our dogs is blind and takes a lot of meds, and the other is veryyy old so requires being carried a lot, and she handled everything perfectly. She went above and beyond as a in home sitter as well, washing all the bedding from the guest room too, which we would have happily done when we got home. We even came home to a very nice note. My partner who was very weary about Rover and leaving the dogs in general, has been raving about her since we got home. I selfishly don't want to write this review because I dont want her to be booked the next time we need her!

I can't say enough about Hunter. Truly. He came through on VERY short notice after another sitter had cancelled with only 48 hours notice before a business trip I couldn't cancel. That should be enough for 6 stars out of five, but he took OUTSTANDING care of our dog. Really really outstanding. Our dog has some strict medicine needs and he did an amazing job. He also stayed at our place and took great care of it. I know it's not easy to have a stranger stay at your house, but Hunter is kind, responsible and trustworthy. Like I said at the beginning, I can't thank or recommend him enough. I will absolutely use him again. A pleasure to work with.

Alexandra and Genessis were great with my 12 year old husky mix, Luna! They recently house sat for me and watched her for 4 nights, which is the longest I’d been away in a long time. They communicated frequently, sent lots of photos, and followed detailed instructions for feeding, giving medications and walking. My neighbors commented on how good they were with her and that she seemed very relaxed and comfortable with them.

Brianna is so amazing, would 100% recommend her to take care of your pet! She is so kind and asked many great questions about our pet and home at our meet and greet. She took care of our dog for over two weeks and sent daily pictures and updates. She played with him, took him on long walks and brushed him. Our dog clearly loved her and her communication made us feel so reassured on our trip! She also left our place very clean. We are so lucky to have found her!

Amazing experience! Emily was thoughtful and kind with by dog, I especially enjoyed the numerous updates I’d get daily. It was so nice to not be worried while being away, knowing things were being handled so well at home. She was communicative, and left the house in better shape than she found it!

Connor did an amazing job taking care of Luna and making her feel like she was on her own vacation while we were gone. This was our first time having a sitter staying in our home and Connor took care of the place and Luna beyond our expectations. He would send daily updates, pictures and was very responsive if we had any questions. Luna was sad to see him go but we will definitely be working with him again in the future.

Sharon is amazing -- she took care of our 4 month old puppy, Scampi, for 4 days. Scampi stayed with Sharon and her pup Ace. During her time there, Sharon took Scampi on lots of great walks, did some training and socialization with her, and sent lots of pictures and updates daily. Scampi loved her time with Sharon so much, she was so sad to leave and come back home with us! I would 100% recommend Sharon to anyone. Thank you!

Rachelle was great! Took great care of Ollie and made him feel comfortable. So much so that he ate his food and drank his water while I was away which he rarely ever does. She was also able to adjust my booking needs last minute because I had my dates wrong. Thanks Rachelle! Will book again.
