“Alison took such great care of my pup and cat while I was away! She went above and beyond to ensure everyone was comfortable, and sent the perfect number of updates. The pets were both clearly very comfortable with Alison, and we've already booked another stay for the next time I'm out of town.”


“Emily has sat for my cat multiple times and is always on time and easy to reach! He warmed up to her right away and I felt at ease during my trip knowing she was there. Will definitely be booking with her again!”


“Bre was fantastic watching our Cat! He has some medical that require extra effort/ needs and Bre followed directions and was very communicative in times of doubt. She also took great care of our house. We will hire her again and highly recommend her to watch your pets!”

Once I left they sent me regular updates and I never had to worry about whether or not my kitten and dog were in good hands. I really appreciate the time and effort they put into making sure I was updated. I’ve never used Rover but I definitely will again. I also will definitely be using Levi. Thank you so much for everything!”


“Mairead is an amazing sitter. She took such great care of my dog who had just gotten diagnosed with cancer. Another sitter cancelled on me with 18 hours’ notice.

We received daily updates and we felt super comfortable and reassured that River was in great hands. I could not recommend her enough and definitely plan to hire Jordan again!”


“Gabby was amazing with my puppy! She was very communicative and responsive and it gave me great peace of mind knowing Leo was in her care! She even dealt with some tummy troubles my puppy had in stride, and was a total trooper through it. Will definitely be working with her again!!”


“For a first time Rover user, I was a bit nervous to have someone stay at my home as well as look after my little buddy. With in the first 5 minutes of speaking with Jade, my nerves were completely gone. She is kind, soft spoken and professional. My condo was perfect when I returned and my boy blue (who struggles with anxiety) was happy and wondering where his new friend went! Thank you, Jade. I will be going with her again!”
