“Lydia stayed at our house for 2 nights to babysit our rambunctious labradoodle puppy and she was amazing! She sent us pictures and updated us the whole time we were gone. She even taught our pup how to run next to the bike with her! I would highly recommend Lydia to take care of your dog :)”
“Kathleen took great care of our senior cat and our home. She navigated some technical challenges with our alarm system with professionalism and good humor. Highly recommend. Will definitely re-book.”
“Nicole was wonderful with our Pittie and kitty! She stayed overnight in our home for a week during an holiday and we came home to happy pets and a home that was exactly the way we left it. We received plenty of pictures and videos and it was obvious our boys were well loved while we were gone. 10/10 recommend :)”
“Katie was such a wonderful pet sitter! She took care of our large lab-mix and 4 cats over the course of a weekend. She was quick to respond to setting up a meet and greet and responded immediately to our booking request. During the weekend, she set us updates and pictures so we could be sure our pets were having fun! She helped to ease our anxiety about leaving our one cat who is a "runner"! She even walked our dog in the morning before she left which left the pup calm until we got back home. I would 100% recommend Katie to anyone looking for a pet sitter/dog walker! Thanks again Katie for the organic veggies!!”
“Ty is super helpful and communicative! And our cat loves him! Cat barely comes out to play with other sitters, but Ty always seems to entice our cat to play, and sends pics. Thanks Ty!”
“Christine was attentive and communicative during her stay with our dog. We received numerous photos and detailed updates, all very much appreciated.”
“Highly recommend Dalara and Jack! Some people are “dog people” and they are exactly that! They cared for our two young golden retrievers as if they were their own (one who was sick). They were extremely responsive and provided consistent updates. We didn’t worry about our pups while we were gone, knowing they were in good hands. They went above and beyond in taking care of the house as a whole! Book them!”
“Our sweet rescue pup has been through a lot and we are very grateful to Natalie for the care and patience she had. I would hire Natalie again in a heartbeat.”
“Ren took great care of our pup (and our house). We got pics while we were away and we could tell from our doorbell cam that Juniper was going out plenty and was happy and comfortable.”
“Elizabeth was amazing! She was so good with our three dogs and cat. They are a handful and we worry leaving them with new people but Elizabeth put our minds at ease with frequent updates and photos. She stayed at our house and left it cleaner than she found it! She really thought of everything to make sure our late arrival home was as smooth as possible. Would 100% recommend Elizabeth!”
“Gavin was flexible when I had to change arrival time a few times! My dog was a little barky when he first met her and when he arrived for the stay but he was great calming her down. He gave detailed updates and sent multiple pictures! Would highly recommend him!!”
“Bria was fantastic. This was our first time booking with her and the meet and greet went smoothly. She took excellent care of both Hampton and Neko and kept our home clean and tidy. We felt completely at ease while we were away. We are already looking forward to having her sit for us again soon. Highly recommend.”
“Louisa did a great job with Wilson and Chicken while we were out of town! She was responsive and shared updates for what they were up to and how they were doing.”
“Kathleen helped out last minute with a dog sitting for our girls and we couldn't be happier to have had her watch them. She was really sweet to them and sent updates while we were out of the house so we felt very at ease.”
“Moriah/MJ was absolutely great. We had a weird situation (sitting 2 dogs at an airbnb while we went to a wedding), and not only did she roll with it cheerfully, she made us feel completely secure about our pups' safety and happiness while we partied. One of our dogs can be distrustful of strangers but she also was easily comfortable with MJ. Definitely recommend!”
“Vita was absolutely incredible sitting Eeko while we were gone! He can be a handful at times with his puppy energy, but Vita handled it extremely well and went above and beyond what we could have asked for. I cannot recommend Vita enough for any pet care you need!”
“Evelyn was so wonderful with Sophie! She played with her and sent pictures. We could see that Sophie feels comfortable with Evelyn. We feel very fortunate to have found Evelyn for Sophie!”
“Abigail was fantastic!! From the jump, we could see her genuine kindness and love for animals. She’s responsive, flexible, and an excellent communicator. She provided consistent updates and pictures and even a report card at the end! She left our house exactly as she found it, and we could see that our dog had a wonderful time with her. She handled Lany’s anxious tics well, especially around the 4th of July fireworks. We cannot recommend her enough!”
“Anna was incredible. She looked after our baby meatball for a week while we were away. She sent constant daily updates and sent pictures of him. Meatball and Anna became besties, they went on walks together and he ate all of his food. Anna also went above and beyond to look after my plants and she kept our apartment in amazing condition. Overall we are super happy with Anna and will definitely be using her for any future holidays. Thanks so much Anna!”
“Tyasia was great. She was quick to respond and easy to book. Kaci had a blast with her and I know this because he slept a lot the next day lol. I will definitely be booking again.”

Gaz is amazing! They are a great communicator and then and their partner helped us out so much !!! Def recommend them! Will def be booking again! Thank you Gaz!
Audrey was terrific! Stayed at our home for a few days to take care of our golden puppy, and she handled him expertly! She was very communicative about questions and about how he was doing, and sent us regular pictures. She’s a great dog photographer too! She was very respectful of our home and our preferences with the dog, and we highly recommend her!
Sarah was wonderful! Otto was happy and well taken care of when we got home! Sarah was very easy to communicate with and left our house spotless when we arrived home. We would rebook her anytime!
Ren was fantastic! I appreciate the level of care they shown my dog- accommodating his needs since he's dog reactive ensuring safety and comfort along with taking care of my home. I'm grateful for the level of care and would recommend Ren for persitting.
Bria was amazing once again. She took great care of Hampton and Neko and kept everything in order while we were away. I appreciate how communicative and reliable she is. It’s always a relief knowing our pups and home are in such good hands.
Christine was so wonderful! She house-sat our two dogs for 5 days. We felt very comfortable and at ease with her from the very first time we met her. She was so great with both of our dogs. She gave us frequent updates, and our dogs were very well cared for. Highly highly highly recommended!!
Lydia was wonderful with our dogs. Upon meeting her, it was evident that she has a lot of experience with animals. We have a busy 5-month old puppy and Lydia provided frequent/real time updates. We appreciated it since it was our first time leaving her. Would definitely recommend Lydia!
Sage is absolutely wonderful. She has wanted my tribe of 3 a few times and the all adore her. She asks questions if she has any and is responsive.
My second time have James stay and watch the house. He was awesome both times! House was left cleaner than I left it and my dog was happy to have him stay!
Mali was very communicative and keep me updated on how things were going with my fur babies. Will use her again for sure!
Allison is absolutely terrific!! She watched our pup while we were away for the week and we felt so secure knowing she was taking great care of our pup. She was a pleasure to work with and took impeccable care of our home and dog. 10/10 would recommend working with Allison!!
Danielle is so friendly and reliable! We felt at ease knowing she was checking in on our cats and giving them love! She even sent pictures and videos! Well definitely use her anytime we’re going out of town.
Angela is fabulous. All three dogs were crazy about her and she’s such a great sitter. Highly recommend!
We had to book Katie for a trip last minute, and working with her has been the best! We loved the daily morning and evening updates with photos, and we were able to enjoy our trip knowing our sweet pup was well cared for and having a blast. We will definitely be requesting Katie in the future, she even left our apartment spotless. We are seriously so grateful that we found her on Rover, thank you Katie!!!
Bernie bonded with Nicole on the time he met her. She was amazing and I felt so comfortable leaving my boy with her. She will now be my goto person.
Kathleen helped out last minute with a dog sitting for our girls and we couldn't be happier to have had her watch them. She was really sweet to them and sent updates while we were out of the house so we felt very at ease.
Great service for house sitting. It was my first time booking her, but she asked appropriate questions in order to understand my dog's needs. My dog warmed up to her and Vita was able to take care of her and feed and walk her while I was gone.
Emily went above and beyond to ensure our anxious cat felt as comfortable as possible during her stay. One of our kitties requires medication and Emily followed instructions to the “T”. Upon our return, the house was clean, cared for, and our kitties were very happy. We are certainly looking forward to working with Emily again!
