Gabrielle is a perfect dog/house sitter. She is communicative, leaves my home as it was found, and makes my (shy) dog feel very comfortable and taken care of. I would recommend Gabrielle to any dog parent :)

John was fantastic! He was very attentive to the directions we gave him and made sure their routines were not disrupted. He also gave timely updates and has a knack for animal photography. John was also very responsive via text. Our dog and cat look forward to the next time my wife and I are out of town!

Mirren was a dream. During our meet and greet, she was attentive to our directions and sweet to our pooches. She communicates well and often and wasn't afraid to ask questions. I really appreciated her easy going manner and ability to deal with unexpected hiccups. We would definitely use her again!

Mark went above and beyond, not just walking and caring for my dog, but taking him for road trips around the area during a weeklong stay. Watching him and my dog interact, it’s clear that my dog really liked him and that Mark combined gentle caring with firm direction in an optimal way. Mark also left my house cleaner than he found it, which was a nice bonus. Would wholly recommend Mark if you need a safe set of hands to dog/house sit.

My babies truly love Kymberlee. They are always so calm when I get home, like they’ve been loved on adequately. My blind god especially loves her because she shows her extra care. She makes sure they are entertained and sends lots of pictures. Amazing!

I am so lucky to have found Lauren. She is so good with my dog who has a lot of separation anxiety but he quickly warmed up to her wonderful personality and is so comfortable with her. I can’t praise her enough. She always keeps me updated and will continue to be our #1 go to :)

Beto was such a great sitter for our dog! We received lots of pictures and updates as we were away - we loved following along in the adventures and trips to the park! Beto went above and beyond not only for our pup but for us too including cleaning and a lot of thoughtfulness when we came home late from a trip. Our dog had a blast with him and all went smoothly. We can’t wait to have him sit our pup again in the future!!

Tiedra did an amazing job of caring for my two cats over a long weekend! She was kind enough to come for a meet and greet ahead of our trip on short notice. During our time away, she provided daily updates and photos. In addition, she was a great house guest ! We definitely plan to hire her again.

Caroline was the best! We left our corgi with her for a long weekend. This is only the second time we’ve left him with a stranger and she made us feel at peace. She had great communication, sent a lot of update pictures and took Enzo on long walks. He is leash reactive and she handled that like a pro! She left our apartment clean and tidy! We will definetly be booking with her again.

We hired Karima to pet sit/house sit while we went away for a few days. It was our first time leaving our two dogs at home because traveling and leaving them at someone else’s house causes them stress in their older age, and we are so happy we found Karima! She followed their schedule perfectly and administered medication to our older guy. She provided videos and updates which put us at ease. She also left the house spotless and the dogs were happily exhausted by the time we got home. We will be hiring her again in the future!

Jini was a great sitter for my two boys! They had so much fun with her! She was a great communicator, flexible and overall a true pleasure to work with. I'm so grateful I knew my dogs were well cared for and loved when I was away- and that my home was treated so well too! Thank you so much Jini! Pico and Griffin are big fans :).

Cristopher took care of my puppy Sagan while I went on a day trip. He was absolutely fantastic: right on time for meet and greet and the day of, super attentive to Sagan’s care instructions, warm and approachable and sent so many updates of his day with Sagan, including a two hour walk that left Sagan fulfilled and happy for the rest of the day. Will definitely be reaching out again when Sagan needs more care, and the best sitter I’ve booked on Rover so far!

Grateful for Jayne’s help with a short sit on relatively short notice. I really appreciated that she spent quality time with my pup and stayed until close to my return, especially given my dog’s nervousness about lingering fireworks. She also sent helpful updates. Thanks, Jayne!

Jeffrey was fantastic. This was our first time using a dog/house sitter and I felt totally comfortable leaving our nervous pup with him. He watered the outdoor plants and kept them alive during a ridiculously hot long weekend. And he was really flexible when thunderstorms delayed our flight and we thought we might not get back that evening. We're so grateful for his work!

We were so grateful for the quality of care and had complete trust in her, especially while we were without service for several days. Flor also came back to walk Mila in a last-minute request when one of our flights was delayed. We can’t recommend her enough!

Lakshmi was wonderful with Rafa over the 4th of July weekend! We met before the stay, and Rafa was so excited to meet her. Like many dogs, when we left for our trip, he was a little cautious at first when we weren’t home, but it didn’t take long for Lakshmi to earn his trust. They quickly became buddies. Communication was excellent from the moment she got to our home. We received an update and photo right away, followed by plenty of pictures throughout the stay of Rafa walking, playing, relaxing, and just being his goofy self. She even renamed our group chat with my husband in the cutest way, which was such a thoughtful touch. Our home was also well cared for. Everything was neat when we returned, the trash was taken out, we were told exactly where the keys were left, and we received one last photo and update before departure. As a vet tech, Lakshmi is knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely caring. We felt completely at ease knowing Rafa was in good hands and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, communicative, and compassionate sitter.
