Mirren was amazing with our senior dog and young kitten. Both pets were very happy with her and she was an amazing house sitter. Very respectful, on time, and gave us plenty of updates. We will definitely book with her again in the future!

She's amazing. Very punctual and professional. Got along great with my dog, and took excellent care of my pet and my living space (including some cleaning!) 10/10 couldn't recommend more strongly.

I am so lucky to have found Lauren. She is so good with my dog who has a lot of separation anxiety but he quickly warmed up to her wonderful personality and is so comfortable with her. I can’t praise her enough. She always keeps me updated and will continue to be our #1 go to :)

There’s nothing better than coming home to your dog after a long trip especially when he’s calm and relaxed because he was well taken care of. Juan allowed me this joy. It was the first time I’ve used him and Romeo took to him right away. Juan updated me daily and was responsive to messages. He also left my house in great condition. Thank you for taking care of my baby. We’ll be seeing you again!!

Sarah was a fantastic sitter from start to finish. We've had some terrible experiences with sitters over the years, so we know (and appreciate!) a good one when we find one. From my first interaction with Sarah, she was responsive, professional, and very pleasant. She took excellent care of our 3 dogs and older cat. They are a cute crew- but a lot of work! Sarah made it look easy, and she left our home in great shape too. Highly recommend!

Kaylee is amazing! Moosha loves her, and she’s so easy to work with. She gives updates with fun photos and is just generally a good person. And I’ve been burned before with dog sitters, so my trust doesn’t come easy. But I trust my gut. I’ll definitely be a returning client.

About: I've been around pets my entire life. I grew up with at least two dogs in the household at all times and have learned to care for them as puppies until it was their time to go. I am often asked to care for family and friends' animals I work remote full time, so my availability is open. I can be available on short notice for anything from a simple walk around the neighborhood to overnight care. Like humans, pets have their personalities, and I will be sure to care for them. If they are energetic and love to play, so am I. If they are in their senior years, I will tend to their needs and give them what they need and deserve.

She sent picture updates and our dog seemed happy and relaxed when we got home. We will reach out to Rebecca again the next time we need a sitter.

We booked Ella last min due to our previous Rover sitter canceling the night before our trip. This is the first time we booked a sitter without having met them prior, so I was a bit nervous. Ella was fantastic, the dogs loved her immediately, she was punctual and kept to their routine/schedule as closely as possible, and provided many updates throughout the week. Would book again!

Sabrina was absolutely amazing! Bella clearly loved her, and I could tell she was very well cared for while I was away. Sabrina provided detailed updates and sent plenty of photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was obvious she took the time to get to know Bella and make her feel comfortable. Bella can be particular at times, but Sabrina handled everything wonderfully. I came home to a happy, relaxed dog, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I would highly recommend Sabrina to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and communicative sitter. We will definitely be booking with her again!

Abby was amazing. I was very nervous about getting a pet sitter we didn't know for our dog but she was incredibly reassuring and very patient with Marly (our dog), who can be nervous around strangers. She gave updates and pictures throughout the days on how Marly was doing and had no issues with walking her (she can be reactive). I have absolutely no complaints and would hire Abby again.

I may regret saying this because it could make it harder to book him in the future, but I can’t say enough good things about Leo! He was punctual, communicative, flexible, and genuinely kind throughout the entire experience. He has a calm, friendly nature that immediately put both me and my dog at ease. My Ollie is still generally cautious around strangers, but with Leo it was completely different. The moment Ollie spotted him from a distance, he was excited instead of fearful. He immediately approached him with confidence and comfort, which is incredibly rare for him. Watching that instant connection gave me complete peace of mind. It’s not often you find someone who is not only reliable and professional, but who also has such a natural connection with animals. I would absolutely trust Leo with Ollie again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for exceptional pet care.
