“Aliyah was a lifesaver in an emergency situation!”




2. Elvia C.

“Elvia was incredible. She sent us updates throughout her time with our dog, Cora. She is very flexible and helpful in time of short notice. Cora was exhausted at the end of the day so she was taken great care of. We will 100 percent keep using Elvia in the future for our dog. Highly recommend”


3. Gabrielle S.

“Gaby was great! She took lots of photos and was keeping me updated during each drop-in. She was very friendly and my dog enjoyed her company while I was away.”


4. Anine P.

“Anine was just fabulous! The pics she left of our cats were so cute and proved that they trusted her a lot! She was very consistent and thorough and did exactly everything we wanted and showed her before we left for our trip. We’ll absolutely book her again and recommend her to anyone who needs a sitter!”


5. Hanaya D.

“Hanaya was so great with our mini goldendoodle. she was available last minute and really helped us in a crush. Hanaya is very reliable and responsive, and I would definitely use her again!”


6. Daniela L.


“Daniela was an amazing caretaker for my cat, Hex. This was my first time using the Rover app to find someone to watch him, and it was also my first time leaving him for a two week vacation. I was worried about so many things, but Daniela eased all of those worries. She was friendly, accommodating, understanding, and followed my instructions for care perfectly. She also sent daily photos and let me know how Hex was doing during each visit. She was very responsive to my messages during the day, even outside of her visiting hours with Hex. I cannot thank her and her mother enough for their expert care of my pet. Daniela, you are amazing! Thank you!”


7. Shawn S.

“Shawn is super thoughtful!!! He took the time to come visit the cats ahead of sitting to make sure we all get comfortable. He also takes the time to check in with you when unsure about the cats needs or behaviors, that was hugely appreciated! I will definitely reach out and o Shawn next time.”


8. Nicole P.


“Nicole was very responsive via text with daily updates and gave Mawii the best care while we were out. We got so many photos and videos to see how our boy was doing. She gave him his pills (not easy), fed him, played with him, and kept him super happy while we were away. Will be returning to her services for upcoming trips.”


9. David S.

“We feel so lucky to have found David; truly, we only wish that we had found him sooner! He is reliable, considerate, and, most importantly, our dog LOVES him. Our dog is older, with some medical issues, and can be standoffish to new people but David won him over almost immediately. We always have complete confidence and peace of mind that our dog is well cared for.”


10. Tara B.

“Excellent! We were so happy with the check-ins and photos. We have a German shepherd and he is high energy. Tara was great and we will continue to use her in the future. So thrilled!”


11. Claudia L.

“Thank you! 😄”


12. Katie V.

“Katie was punctual, reliable and even accommodated a last minute change, which was so appreciated. Our dog seemed to enjoy his visit with her!”


13. Holly M.
“If I could choose just one person to care for my dog, it would be Holly. She has a "magic touch" with every kind of dog. For one thing, I have watched her care so lovingly for her own rescue dog, Bruno, for more than 10 years. Bruno had many special needs when Holly found him and took him into her home. Her deep and abiding love, coupled with her consistent and unfailing care, transformed Bruno from a frightened little doggie into one of the happiest pets I've ever seen. Holly is a totally dependable person. She approaches every task she takes on, with professionalism and a commitment to excellence. When she says she will do something, she does it. She also has a kind, generous, and loving heart that quickly turns her into the best friend of any dog that's fortunate enough to meet her. I can think of no one more well-suited to care for dogs. Anyone who leaves their dog in Holly's care can rest assured that their dog will be treated wonderfully.”


14. Carol T.

“Awesome experience. Our refrigerator died mid-vacation and Carol went above and beyond to help us deal with the issue and help ensure our two scaredy cats were well taken care of!”


15. Nina G.

“Nina is so great! She is so quick to respond and was able to accommodate a very last minute meet and greet and drop in services for our pup! She is very communicative, sends great updates, and our pup loved her. Will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future!”


16. stefanie o.

“Stefanie was fantastic! She went above and beyond to take care of our cats. They were well loved and taken care of while we were away, and we will definitely ask her to look after them again in the future. Highly recommend!!”


17. Janet M.
“Janet is the only person I trust with Ozzy, my spoiled Pomeranian. Ozzy loves Janet so much! He hates just about everyone but warmed up to her very quickly. Janet is loving and attentive to Ozzy’s needs (and demands!). She treats Ozzy like her own dog. I highly recommend her pet sitting services!”


18. Kenisha M.

“Kenisha was amazing! I was traveling overseas for 11 nights and needed someone to come in to check on my 3 cats, feed them and clean up after them. She was so sweet and caring and my cats were happy. Even my extremely shy one came out and let her scratch her head. I highly recommend hiring this beautiful soul to take care of your pets.”


19. Emily F.
“Emily is so good with the pups. She is attentive and they are so well behaved with her. She keeps me up to date with anything she observes. She is timely and reliable no matter the weather. I feel completely comfortable putting the boys in her hands.”
