“Lauren is fantastic! She did such a great job watching our fur babies while we were out of town for a wedding. She asked great questions, was very communicative, and was all around a great pet sitter. Looking forward to booking her again for any future trips.”
“Jenny is an incredible dog sitter—we’ve used her multiple times to stay in our home and care for our two small dogs. We’re able to truly relax and enjoy being away, knowing our dogs and home are in such capable and caring hands. She treats everything as if it were her own and is consistently thoughtful and attentive. On top of that, she’s a great communicator and an absolute pleasure to work with.”
“Leslie was very friendly and affectionate with our boy. Sending pictures upon every visit which provided extra reassurance he was safe, happy, and well cared for. We would definitely recommend her services.”
“Amanda was our favorite dog sitter we’ve ever had! She was extremely communicative and sent updates everyday throughout the day without us having to ask. She also left our home in perfect condition, nice and clean. She’s also very friendly and reliable, we can tell our fur baby loved her! Would 100000% recommend Amanda to anyone and already looking forward to the next time we get to book her :)”
“Jeffrey was amazing with our two pups. We have one who is a bit anxious and fearful around new people, especially men, and Jeffrey quickly won him over! He was available for a meet and greet and gave tons of updates and photos to put our minds at ease. He is fantastic!!”
“Tabatha was fantastic! I had to go out of town to deal with sick family, and needed to not worry about my pets. Tabatha made everything so easy and took great care of my dog and cat. Will definitely be booking with her again.”
“Yashelle was wonderful with Brodie! She looked after him, and our house, as if it were her own, and gave him so much love and care. Will definitely be booking her again!!”
“She was so nice and took great care of my dog. My dog sometimes is timid among strangers but Heidy made the experience much better and gave me peace of mind knowing he was in great hands. 🌸🌸 10/10 recommend.”
“We had Julia house sit and she was great, with good communication and she showed up on time. Our lab Apollo loved her right away. Will be booking again next time we need a sitter! Thanks Julia!”
“Mark was a phenomenal choice of sitters! Between a very senior cat, and an anxious, reactive pup, it is difficult to feel comfortable going out of town. Mark was great, very attentative to our pets needs, and very patient, allowing Teddy to warm up and feel comfortable around him. We appreciated his updates throughout the weekend, and his kindness to our furry family. Highly recommend, especially if your pets are uncertain of strangers.”
“Katie was absolutely wonderful. She handled my two large rambunctious dogs like a pro and I got lots of pics while I was away, which were so comforting knowing they were in great hands. She even administered meds when one of them unexpectedly got an ear infection. I highly recommend her and will not hesitate to use her again when I need to travel again.”
“Danny did a phenomenal job watching our two dogs, three cats and one bird over the holidays while we dealt with unexpected must do travel. When we needed to extend a few days, he graciously accommodated that as well.”
“Don did a great job House-sitting with our cat and dog! Our pets loved Don and were happy and healthy when we returned. The house was in great shape and Don also did a great job looking after our plants. If you want peace of mind for your pets and home while you’re away, I highly recommend hiring Don!”
“Sherm was amazing! He took excellent care of our fur baby and our apt while we were away. He sent pictures and was very prompt in all communication. Our kitty was struggling with the "new person in my house" phase, and he did a great job making her feel comfortable and safe. He was so patient and reassuring that she was loafing in his lap by the end of the stay. He also left the apt very clean. Would absolutely rebook and recommend!”
“Klaudia was a great pet sitter! She sent pictures and updates about our pup each day, which was really nice. She was easy to communicate with and we would absolutely book her again.”
“India always takes great care of our pup! She proactively communicates and sends pictures to let us know how things are going. Our dog is always happy and content with her. We’ve used India a few times to house sit and would highly recommend her to anyone.”
“Omar was so thoughtful, sending us photos of our pup on a daily basis. He did a meet and greet with her/us to make sure everyone was comfortable before the actual sitting dates. Our dog took to him very easily and we were immediately reassured all would be fine while we were gone. He was very responsive to our questions and took care of our house as well, ensuring mail/packages we received were brought in and stored. Would definitely recommend using him/them for your needs.”

The most immportant part of house sitting with our "creative" Havanese is that he like the sitter. Milo remembered Jenny and welcomed her into our home. We were gone for a f ew days, and Jenny communicated daily and sent photos. We will use her caring services again.
Mark was great!! So calm and sweet with Daisy. Communicative and conscientious with us. Mark went out of his way for a meet and greet so Daisy was comfortable with him. We were in from out of town and staying in a hotel. Mark was flexible with the unusual situation. Would definitely use Mark again!
Wilson watched our two dogs and our house while we were away. This was our first time using Rover and we were nervous leaving them. However, Wilson did an excellent job from the Meet & Greet gaining our trust and the dogs. He sent updates throughout the week and even got our picky dog to eat her food. We would definitely recommend him and use him again in the future.
This was our first time ever leaving our two male dogs with someone outside the family so we were a little nervous, but Christine went above & beyond taking care of the boys. She stayed with the boys in our house for 9 days, which made a huge difference. She sent daily pics of the boys at home and on their walks and let us know how they were doing each day. I could see the boys felt comfortable with her and were enjoying their daily routine. Usually when we're gone for even several hours, they get very anxious but this time when we arrived home they seemed much calmer. We are so thrilled to have found Christine and are looking forward to booking her again.
Julia is a wonderful, reliable and responsible person. She was absolutely great with my dog! He can be a little tough with some people but he instantly loved her and her calm demeanor. She took great care of our dog and stayed at our house for a week. She is great!
Daniel stayed with our husky/mix for a week, and she had a wonderful time with him! He walked her 3 times a day, made sure she had her pills, and kept her company almost every minute! The house was clean and tidy when we came home. He was extremely conscientious and clearly loved dogs. We'll definitely be using him again.
Arissa was wonderful! She kept me informed and sent photos so I could relax and not worry about my dog while I was away! Arissa was friendly and professional, she made sure my dogs meds were given exactly as instructed! I would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter!
Ashley was an amazing sitter! She was super responsible and addressed my pet’s needs promptly. Even when she was still not in my house, she rushed to take care of Cacau when she seemed stressed in our cameras. I am so glad Cacau and Ashley bonded, and Cacau was even caring Ashley’s clothes to her bed at the end of her stay. I will definitely book with her again.
We have a very clingy cat and a wild child cat. Yuandi was amazing with both. She sent updates morning and night, and it was clear from just our cats’ expressions that they were well cared for. It’s never fun to leave a pet, but knowing Yuandi was there for them gave us real peace of mind. We cannot recommend her enough!!!
Patty sat for our three dogs over the worst winter storm we've had in years. She was willing to go the extra mile and helped us to keep our vacation plans - many would have backed out at the threat of being snowed in or power loss (no power loss thank goodness) but Patty was still up for the challenge.
Eileen house sat for our 2 cats for 4 nights while we were out of town, and we were very happy with her work; everything went smoothly and Morty and Bokki seemed completely relaxed and comfortable around her, which was great to see. We came home and everything was clean and in order, and Morty and Bokki were in good health. I couldn't have asked for a smoother experience, and I highly recommend her.
Kirsten took excellent care of our large puppy while we were out of town. It was the first time that we left him overnight and she made sure that he was comfortable with her before we left town. She checked in and sent photos. He administered his medicine and took him on neighborhood walks. I can’t say enough about what a thoughtful and caring person she is. Thank you, Kirsten!
