“Meaghan took excellent care of our Great Dane (and our home) while we were away! She brought a calm loving energy to our sometimes anxious pup. She was punctual with her own timing and still very flexible with ours, and while we were away kept us updated with photos of our happy pup each day. Highly recommend her as a pup and house sitter!”
“Samantha was wonderful with our cat & dog. She came for a meet and greet before the trip, and sent regular updates and photos while we were away. She was a huge help, and we’ll be hiring her again!”
“Kimora was an incredible sitter for my cat over a long weekend - she was thoughtful, reliable, and sent consistent updates & photos. I could tell my pet was in great hands and I will definitely book with her again!”
“Chandra has been amazing watching our two cats over the weekend, she made sure they were clean well loved! Our one male cat who is not neutered yet has recently taken up yowling in the night which Chnadra happily accepted and was very sweet about!”
“Brenda was SO great with my pup! This was one of the longest trips I’d left him for and I could tell he was so at ease with her and she made me feel so comfortable knowing he was in good hands! She sent lots of great updates and pictures and was also very responsive and communicative. Would totally recommend!!”
“Ariel is simply amazing! I am so glad to have found her.My dog Luna is quirky and anxious but she instantly took to Ariel. I felt so relieved knowing I was leaving her in capable hands. Ariel was very responsive and kept me updated the entire time I was away. She sent me pictures of my pampered lady and video of her having her snack. When Luna got anxious, Ariel left her soothing music and gave her the care and attention she needed. I highly recommend Ariel, she is wonderful, thoughtful, caring and clearly loves animals. I have already re-booked her twice. I know Luna can’t wait to have her over again and I feel confident knowing she’ll be in great hands while I am away!”
“Josefa was awesome! She not only took excellent care of Ura and provided updates throughout the day, but she also gave us great tips to care for her. Looking forward to rebooking her!”
“Danny was wonderful! He stayed at our place for 3 nights and watched two of my elderly (12-13 yo) little 9 lbs dogs. He was extremely professional and responsible - prompt with replies, followed up politely when I failed to respond in a timely fashion, and left the house in very good order. I highly recommend Danny and would absolutely seek him out again.”
“Mira was amazing! We have a cat with epilepsy and she handled all of his complicated medications no problem. She gave us regular updates and left the apartment super clean. Definitely will be using her again!”
“Maria is such a gem, I’m so grateful I found her! She took care of my two dogs while I was away and everything went so smoothly. She sent so many pictures, updates, and was very flexible. Thank you Maria, so lucky my doggies have you as a friend!”
“Abdelkader is an amazing cat and house sitter. He took such great care of our Oliver. His care and attention to detail went beyond expectations. We were a little anxious leaving our dear cat for so long but we knew right away that he was in good hands. We really appreciated all the check ins and photos. Our apartment was clean and neat when we arrived home, which was so appreciated. I can't imagine a better cat and house sitter. We have already re-booked Abdelkader for another stay with Oliver.”
“Amanda took great care of our dog, Maynard! She went above and beyond with communication/sharing photos and made us feel super comfortable while away from our pup. I would definitely book with Amanda again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a great pet sitter!”
“Amys flexibility and acceptance of our last minute booking made her a great choice for exactly what we needed. Providing updates throughout with even asking. This is a great fist impression of our first use of Rover. Will recommend!”
“Eden is the man, very pleasant to work with. Eden stayed with my pup for two weeks. He took great care of my pup and my apartment. Eden sent daily photos and updates, and I could see that my pup was having a great time with Eden. Highly recommending Eden and I will definitely have Eden sit my pup again! 👍 🐕”
“Amanda took great care of my dog while I was out of town. She was always prompt in responding to messages and sent pictures of my dog and updates to let me know how she was doing.”
“Fiona was wonderful with my pups! She sent pictures and updates on their activities. My pups were very happy and that made me happy. I hope she is always available when I need a sitter.”
“Nagham is a very conscientious and knowledgeable house sitter for our dog. She is super sweet with him and always gives us lots of updates while we’re away. We have relied on Nagham 4 times now and will continue to do so whenever we can.”

Cody was great. Punctual, and really made a solid effort to get my dog who has separation anxiety to relax and hang out with him instead of focus on me, and the fact that I was leaving the house. I felt comfortable with him immediately - good vibes. I will definitely use him again.
You could not ask for better care for your pet than what Gillian delivers!! She gave our two greyhounds the most love and attention while we were away, kept us updated on all their fun activities, and was very thorough to make sure everything was perfect for them and their weird routines. This was their first time being away from us for a few days, and I can’t imagine having found anyone better for the job. Apartment was also so clean when we got back! If you’re looking for someone to love and care for your pet just as much as you do then BOOK GILLIAN!!
Layla was very responsive to all our questions and very communicative throughout her stay. Our cat was clearly so happy and at peace with her! Layla also left the apartment in great shape and was all around a joy to work with — she is clearly very knowledgeable and passionate about animals.
Peter was great- very reliable and had great communication! Gave me peace of mind while I was traveling. Followed instructions and asked great questions during our meet and greet and I felt he took the job seriously! Highly recommend and will definitely use him again!
Lori is highly communicative and provided thorough updates on my cattens during my trip, she's kind and professional and she truly cares for animals and people! I would recommend Lori to anyone who wants a carefree vacation trusting that their pets are well taken care of. I would gladly request Lori to cat sit again!
John was a fantastic sitter for our dog. He was very responsive, communicative, and took a lot of care while watching our pup. Our dog separation anxiety and is prone to overheating in the summer, and John kept a very mindful eye on both of those things. He kept us updated while we were away, and our dog immediately took a liking to him. We will use John again very soon!
We love having Zaina sit out kitty Zora! She has been our sitter for the last two years and we are so at peace knowing she’s with our cat when we’re gone. She stayed overnight given the length of our trip and was wonderful and able to easily balance checking in on other pets at the same time. Highly recommend!
Lauren was great! We pet sit our pup for the night while my wife and I were out on a date night. She took him to the park to get his non stop puppy energy spent and was very communicative with photos and texts. She was flexible scheduling, which was very helpful to our last minute plans and was super comfortable with our larger pup and all our instructions. Will definitely reach out again!
Yesenia did a great job watching our dogs! She was very responsive and sent photo and video updates throughout the week she stayed in our apartment. She also left the place very tidy. Would definitely recommend - this was much better than having our dogs go stay somewhere else!
