“Dwayne took care of my crew while attending to family business in another state. It was clear from the start what a great animal lover he is as my big dog immediately wanted to be besties. He got my little guys to warm up to him and sent lots of pics of them smiling. He was attentive in every way. He’s a terrific human and clearly takes great pride in his services. I would highly recommend him and will definitely be contacting Dwayne again for future needs. Do not hesitate to book with Dwayne!”


“The world needs more Emmas! Emma is simply the best. From the moment we connected with her, she was incredibly responsive and consistently demonstrated professionalism and a genuine commitment to what she does. Our dogs absolutely loved her! She kept us regularly updated, which brought us so much peace of mind while we were away. Knowing that someone so dedicated was caring for our furry family members made all the difference. What truly stood out was Emma’s proactive nature—she offered to help us with a situation we hadn’t even anticipated. That level of care goes far beyond what you typically expect when trusting someone with your pets. Emma went above and beyond in every way. I wholeheartedly recommend her. The world would truly be a better place with more people like Emma.”

“Jamie is wonderful! she took such good care of our pets and kept us updated regularly. She made sure our dogs got their medication, and took them out and sent us photos of them all hanging out! I would definitely recommend her to take care of your pets!”

“Such an amazing sitter! Dee was extremely attentive to our dog and followed her routine to a Tee. She even went out of her way to take her to the nearby dog park to get some extra exercise! Would 100% recommend!!”

“Rod took great care of my two huskies while I was away on business. He has a way with connecting with dogs and was very attentive to every need and made sure to send pictures and frequent updates, which I enjoyed! When I came home, they hardly got up to greet me - which to me is the mark of a great dog sitter and tells me that he took such great care of them that they didn't miss me much while I was gone... Which is what I want! They absolutely love him, and I 100 percent will be re-booking with him for future dates. Thanks Rod for being such an awesome sitter!”
“Anissa was awesome! She stayed at our house and took care of our dog and 2 cats. Communication was super easy, and she sent updates with photos. She even took our pup to the obedience class, that she’s enrolled in, so she didn’t miss it! Couldn’t have asked for a easier experience for our first time booking a house sitter through Rover.”

“Lexie was incredible! She not only watched our dogs for the day and night, but also drove them to our wedding across town so they could be in our wedding photos! Lexie was so kind and incredibly gracious when I forgot to leave her a key, and had to have someone run it out to her. I don’t trust a lot of people to watch my dogs, but I will absolutely be keeping Lexie in mind for the future!”

“This was our second time having Mae watch our pets while away for the weekend. Great communication, lots of pet pictures, and our apartment was clean and tidy when we got back. Thank you!”

“I have only great things to say about Amie. We had never left Pickles with anyone other than his grandparents before and he can be iffy about who he trusts but immediately took a liking to Amie. After our first meeting I knew he would be so well looked after in her care. She is so responsive and sent lots of photos so I always knew he was doing alright. I seriously cannot speak more highly of her. She went above and beyond to make sure Pickles felt as loved as possible while we were away and she was so respectful of our home. If we ever need a pet sitter again I can’t see going with anyone else.”

“Ashley is truly amazing. We had never left our babies with anyone before and she made all of our worries disappear! She communicated how our babies were doing and sent so many pics! Our babies were loved and well cared for and we couldn’t be happier!”

“Julia did a great job! We were away for 5 days, and our dogs were happy and well fed when we returned. The house was cleaned and she checked in with pictures to let us know that everything was going well.”

Dwayne wasn’t a stranger after long. I only ever left my labs with friends, family or the trainer. After moving across the country I needed to find the new family friend for my fur monsters. Dwayne asked great questions got comfortable and took amazing day and overnight care of my dogs. Super communicative and kept me updated while I was out of town. Happy to have found him for my doggy support.

This was our first time using Theresa and it was a great experience. She came and met our babies prior to using her and was thorough with her questions. We had her for a night stay at the house. She provided pictures and updates throughout the stay. She went above and beyond our expectations. We will definitely be using Theresa again!

It had been a while since Leah had come and stayed with our pups and we were happy to have her back while away for the weekend. We can’t recommend her enough. If you want to return to happy dogs, a clean house and have someone who is proactive with communication and loves to send pics, she’s your gal!

AMAZING!! Kimberly is so sweet and her passion for our babies is genuine❤️ Our Henry is just a pup so he needs lots of extra attention, not just with play but also obedience training. Kimberly is so patient with him and treats him just like you would a young toddler. She loved on him, had lots of fun & snuggles, and communicated with text update & pictures. We will definitely be seeking her out again! Thank you, Kimberly, for allowing us an stress-free date night! I had no concerns leaving our boy with you!!

Connor stayed for 10 days with our large friendly dog and three cats. He did a fantastic job. Iur animals are admittedly a bit spoiled but Connor made sure that he understood their needs and took very good care of them. They were all relaxed and clearly liked him by the way they interacted with him even after we got home. He sent a nice photo and check in to us every day of our trip and made sure to ask questions and permissions about the pets’ care. We usually only leave our pets with family so this was a big deal for us. We will definitely use Connor in the future!
