1. Adrianna M.
“Adriana watched my cat Zebra for almost a week. She kept in touch and sent pics/videos, as well as watered my plants and kept an eye on the house. Everything was perfect when I got home. Will certainly use her services again.”
2. Casey S.
“Me and my fiancé went out of town to Indy for a few days and Casey did an amazing job watching our very energetic 1 year old girl, Oakley! Casey sent lots of updates and pictures and Oakley had a great weekend! We always feel super confident leaving Oakley with Casey and would definitely recommend her!😊”
3. Nicholas K.
“Nicolas responded promptly to communications and did what we'd asked, even dealt with a rather complicated feeding process with grace! As a bonus, he was even already familiar with Litter Robots. Thanks for taking good care of our pets while we were away.”
4. Andrew M.
“Fantastic! Will definitely use them again.”
5. Rodina H.
“We had a tall order for Rodina with housesitting with 4 dogs from 3 households in one of our homes for a week. We were extremely pleased with the care Rodina showed for our pups as well as for the house and yard. A couple of the dogs had had accidents in our house previously but Rodina’s attention prevented any recurrences. Everything - and every dog - was in great shape when we returned. We highly recommend Rodina to anyone and will definitely make use of her services again if and when the need arises.”
6. Audrey F.
“Audrey is a wonderful pet sitter and anyone would be lucky to have her watch your pets. She communicates daily and makes sure your pets feel at home when you are away.”
7. Micaela B.
“Micaela was a lifesaver for us! Our previous dog sitter canceled last minute and Micaela swooped in and saved our vacation. She was extremely communicative, she shared photos of our dogs with us, she took very good care of our house and even better care of our dogs! We will definitely book her again the next time we travel and need to leave the dogs at home. I highly recommend Micaela to other dog owners in need of a caring and respectful petsitter”
8. Abby P.
“Abby did a great job. She attended to the needs of our older dog, who has an injury and required medication. She also made sure our younger pup got lots of exercise outside. And she was very communicative and professional throughout our booking. We fully recommend her!”
9. ashley b.
“Ashley does an outstanding job! She took care of our 4 dogs and sent pictures of them while we were away. She even brought in packages that were delivered. Very sweet young lady.”
10. Michaela S.
“Michaela was awesome! I got lots of picture updates and she took exceptional care of our pups and home while we were gone. Everything was in order and taken well care of. I would recommend her for all of your dog sitting needs!”
11. Madison B.
“Madison was a great house sitter. She communicated well and sent daily updates. She left the house sparkling clean and neat. She provided peace of mind as Milo is an elderly dog and needs some extra attention. I would definitely hire her again, but she’s so popular, you’ve got to book far in advance!”
12. Amanda S.
“Amanda took excellent care of our dogs while we were out of town. During the stay she had to deal with a major winter storm and still made sure that the dogs’ needs were met, and was very communicative with us throughout. We came home to a clean house and healthy and happy pups!”
13. Rachel W.
“I am very happy with the service that Rachel provided and I cannot recommend her enough. She was able to help us out in a pinch when we needed someone to watch our dogs for 10 days with very little notice. Just before our trip, our older great dane needed knee surgery and we were nervous about leaving him with a sitter. Rachel put our worries at ease and was an excellent listener to our concerns and very patient with all of the care that he needed. She was diligent about his physical therapy and medications, and sent us frequent emails with pictures/videos while we were out of the country so we didn't worry once about the capable hands he was in. We are very happy to have found Rachel and will be using her again for our next vacations.”
14. Ivanis L.
“Ivanis did everything this rather nervous owner asked. She even made two trips to get familiar with Piper and everything went well. I recommend without hesitation.”
15. Hannah K.
“Hannah was wonderful, on time, and so sweet! Our pup was in great hands while we were away & all was well when we returned. So happy we found her on Rover ?”
16. Olivia G.
“Olivia did a great job on extremely short notice!!”
17. Marissa R.
“Marissa is one of the most loving and compassionate people I have ever seen with animals. There isn't an animal that she doesn't have a soft spot for. I would highly recommend her for taking care of any and all animals with her kind nature.”
18. Debra M.
“We always contact Debra to take care of our 2 cats when we are out of town. She takes really good care of them and they like being around her. She sends lot of pictures so we do not miss them either. I 100% recommend her to take care of your furry babies.”
19. Eddy G.
“Gabriela is a wonderful sitter. She has such kind energy. She followed all the instructions I provided and sent tons of photos of my sweet pup. I'll definitely call on Gabriela again!”
20. Katelynn A.
“I’ve known Katelynn for a few years now, and her love and care for all animals and children have continued to grow tremendously. She has a tender heart and a beautiful way with all animals, especially dogs. Katelynn has her own dogs back home that she cares for, giving them the upmost attention and care. I highly recommend her for this position, you will not regret it.”
