I’m so glad that Oli was available to come check on Gus while I was gone during the day. She is familiar with his routine and always sends me the cutest pictures!

We can’t recommend Kelly highly enough! She stayed with our cats for a week when we went out of the country, and her attentive care and regular (and witty!) updates made it possible for us to completely relax, knowing our kitties were in such good hands. One of our cats is very shy. Well — almost immediately we received a picture of him happy and completely at home with his new friend. Other details indicate that Kelly is a first-class professional who is on top of the details: the week’s worth of mail organized (magazines, packages, post) on the table; the immaculate house; and, most importantly, two cats who looked and acted like they had lots of fun while we were away. We are so grateful.

Katelyn watched my dog for a week. I'm always worried about who I leave my dog with but I felt very secure with Katelyn. She followed my instructions, sent plenty of pictures and updates, and left the house as I left it. I will definitely keep her in mind for my future trips. Thanks for watching Elena :)

I highly recommend Gabby!! Gabby stayed with my 2 yr old Jack Russell Terrier, Lucy this last week (3 nights 4 days), and it was a terrific experience. I am so happy with the level of communication she gave, and I could tell Lucy was well cared for walked a lot, and given lots of attention & love. Gabby also left my house cleaner than when I left on my trip. It was so nice to have Lucy well cared for while I was away. I will definitely book with Gabby again !!

Katharine has grown up with dogs her entire life -- big and small, friendly and not so friendly. She has also dog-sat for many families for multiple days. She is responsible, thoughtful in the care of the dogs and the home the pets live in.

Emmalee was great! Our dog is very skittish and has separation anxiety, and Emmalee went out of her way to make sure she felt safe and to coax her to eat. She also took good care of her when Freya got scared in the thunderstorm. Highly recommend Emmalee!! She also took good care of the house and even stripped the bedding and loaded the washer before we got back!

Amanda was an amazing sitter! She sent great updates and photos of her time with our pups and they absolutely adored her. It was great knowing that they were in good hands while we were gone and we will absolutely use her sitting services in the future!

Kylie was great! Super communicative and quick to respond. We were nervous to use a service as our pup had only spent time with family previously, but Kylie did a stellar job easing our minds and offering care to both our home and pup while we were away. 10/10 would use again!

Our dogs can be difficult, but Brittany did a great job with them! She sent us regular updates with cute pictures and spent a lot of time on walks and keeping the pups company. We really appreciated coming home to a neat apartment and stress-free dogs! We will definitely book again and recommend her to others!

Lindsey came through in an emergency situation where I could not call any of my friends or family to look after my two Rottweilers while I had to leave town. My dogs are a bit picky about their bathroom and feeding schedule and it gets difficult when emergencies come up but Lindsey promised me that she was more than capable of accommodating to my/ our dog’s needs and she was able to handle a spur of the moment situation to a T. I’ve not used the Rover app until now but I’d be sure to contact her again in a heartbeat! She was incredibly communicative and responsive over the weekend that I needed her help.

We have had Sydney watch our Senior Lab and young lab plus cats for many years. She is extremely dependable, loves all animals and ensures all medications and instructions are followed to a tee. We feel so much better going away when we know Sydney is in charge. She loves animals, is dependable and responsible. Don’t hesitate to use her. She is the best!!!!
