1. Deven S.
“Deven was professional and responsive from the first time I reached out to schedule a dog sitter. He was great both my puppy and older dog and comfortable providing oral, topical, and injection medications for my dog. Would highly recommend his services and will definitely be using again.”
2. Lindsay J.

“This was the first time we've had someone stay in our home to watch our dog while we were away and Emily was wonderful! She was very attentive to his needs and was able to manage his anxiety meds and special diet. We really appreciated all the photos and detailed updates every day! I would certainly recommend Emily!”
4. Alison F.
“Had a great experience with Alison! She was sweet, super communicative, and very punctual. My two small dogs loved her, and I felt completely at ease. Highly recommend!”
5. Ellen W.
“I highly recommend Ellen for the loving care of your pets. She has walked and sat for my dogs over the years, with kindness and attention to detail about their needs. I can’t think of anyone more responsible, reliable, and enthusiastic about taking care of pets. She truly loves dogs and finds joy in her work with them. Very trustworthy and a lovely person.”
6. Connie C.
“Connie was communicative and easily bonded with our dogs! She also sent pictures of them! I felt comfortable leaving my dogs with her and knew they were in good hands. Thank you for taking care of our dogs! Came back to happy puppies!”
7. Belicia K.
“My cat sitter cancelled on me at the last minute. But as it turns out I was meant to find Belicia. She took excellent care of my girl Zuri. Belicia was communicative, kind, and followed all instructions. She sent me messages and photos to absolve any worry and it didn't take long for my anti-social kitty to take to her. Having her care for Zuri was such a peace of mind. When I came back home, I realize that everything worked out as it should have. This is the beginning, as I will be scheduling with Belicia again.”
8. Marlena H.
“I could tell our pup had such a nice time with Marlena. She was punctual, asked good questions, and was quick to respond both when booking and during the stay. And she sent some sweet photos of our camera-shy dog. Would be glad to have her sit again!”
9. Courtney G.
“Courtney took great care of my senior dog, Sadie, while I was away. She followed all the instructions and showed my girl lots of love. She also was neat and respectful of my home and my apartment was spotless when I returned. We will definitely be booking with her in the future and I know Sadie will be so happy to see her again!”
10. Nico M.
“Nico took care of my puppy for a few hours and did a such a nice job. He seems really patient and kind. I came home and Nico had followed all my directions and made really good choices with my pup. Highly recommend him and I would hire him again.”
11. Allison J.
“Allison is awesome! Super professional and does a great job taking care of our pup, who gets a little anxious when we go out of town. We never have to worry when she’s our sitter. Thanks for everything, Allison!!”
12. Sarah S.
“Sarah took very good care of our 3 spoiled babies, and took care of our house. We recommend her and will definitely be using her again in the future!!”
13. Nicole R.
“This our first time hiring someone to take care of our dogs, usually we leave them with family. This time the entire family was on a trip so we opted for Rover and feel very blessed to have found Nicole. Nicole is very detail-oriented, communicated perfectly and even sent videos twice a day. We decided to leave the dogs at home instead of sending them to an unknown environment. And she not only walked them. She sat with them and gave them attention. This all became very crucial because it was very hard for me to leave my dogs this time around. One of my dogs had a bit of an eye irritation and she did a great job keeping track of his progress and keeping me updated. We are very grateful for Nicole and will definitely ask for her services again in the future.”
14. Elizabeth D.
“Elizabeth was so great! We were able to meet before the house sitting and went over the specifics of my dog. She gave me daily updates and let me know he was doing well which I really appreciated!! I would definitely book again ?”
15. Roman H.
“Roman was such a great sitter! Arthur was very comfortable around him. Roman was very thoughtful and caring and made sure to send us photos and videos of Arthur while we were away. Would definitely recommend!”
16. Johnathan W.
“This is the second time that Johnathan has housesat for us and watched our puppy Ollie. Ollie loved him, and he kept us updated with messages and pictures. We definitely recommend him!”
17. Maritza V.
“Maritza was amazing!! She sent updates on how our puppy was doing and she was very responsive overall. Highly recommend!”
18. Jasmine P.
“Jasmine did an amazing job house sitting with our pup. She clearly communicated the whole week and left the house spotless. Our dog was well taken care of and very relaxed when we returned. She sent updates and was a pleasure to work with. We would love to rebook Jasmine our next trip and highly recommend her!”
19. Margo K.
“Margo did a great job. She was flexible and responsive. She sent lots of pictures and updates of our cats. We returned home after a week-long vacation and the house was in excellent shape. I will definitely use her for house-sitting and drop-in services in the future.”
20. Nicole D.
About: I have always owned pets. I have had cats, dogs, fish, turtles, hamsters, birds, etc.I have had a Pekingese dog and a Labrador. My family has always loved pets. We have had a Persian cat and now we have a Siamese named Neo. But he does not stay with me, he stays with my family and I see him when I visit home. Family and friends have relied on me a lot to take care of their pets (cats and dogs) when they’re out of town. I have taken care of a Chowchow for a friend and two Poodles for family friends. I have also taken care of my friends cats in their home when they had to leave for a few days. I am a student and I have free time during the weekends or weekdays in the afternoons/evenings. I am able to walk, play or take care for pets. I make sure I know their schedules, their intakes as in food, water, treats, medicine or vitamins. I try to pay attention to them all the time and play with them.
