Madeline has stayed with Harley multiple times now, and she’s been incredibly attentive to his needs, communicative about how he’s doing, and flexible. She’s an awesome sitter that I’m glad Harley and I can rely on!

Lauren was incredible with my cat while I was away! She sent photos of every visit and kept me updated so that I didn't worry at all. She spent plenty of time petting/brushing my cat too so I know she wasn't lonely. She even scooped the litter boxes so that my cat was as comfortable as possible. Would definitely book Lauren immediately the next time I'm out of town!

Melina was a huge help in a pinch when my sitter cancelled. She was attentive and sweet with my pup and sent many pictures and updates throughout the day! Would love to have her help again and recommend her greatly!

Grace stayed in my home and watched my two fur babies (5-month-old kitten and 3-year-old cat) for 10 days/9 nights and she truly did the most amazing job—I really can’t recommend her enough!! I’m new to Rover and was hesitant to have someone I don’t know stay in my home for that long but Grace was so kind, trustworthy, and thoughtful. She was very quick to respond to my messages and sent me thorough updates every other day with lots of adorable pictures of her playing with my cats, which made me so happy. My kitten is a ball of energy and is still learning how to navigate the litter box (sometimes she steps in her poop) and required some medication while I was away. Grace had no issues administering the medication, she did an awesome job monitoring the poop situation, and played with her a ton (my kitten is probably disappointed that I came home from my trip 😂). Also, I cleaned my home before I left and when I returned, it was just as clean (if not cleaner) than I left it. I will 100% be a repeat client! Grace is fantastic!!

Alyssa is great! Jumped right in and was up to the challenge of caring for our puppy (house training, teething, mega energy, etc!)… She was super communicative, providing updates throughout our time away, and left our house spotless. We’re excited to work with Alyssa again, and highly recommend her for excellent, thorough care of your beloved pet(s)!

Tanitsha is the best. She did a great job caring for our German shepherds and our cat. She was very confident and excited to work with our dogs, who can be a bit difficult. She made us feel stress free while away from home and really worked well with our dogs. We were very impressed. She also really took great care of our home. We will definitely be working with her again.

Hyazinth was fantastic with our two cats - even our shyer one took to Hyazinth quickly. Hyazinth was super communicative with updates and photos of our cats, and was clearly cuddling and playing with them frequently. We have searched for a long time for a cat sitter we feel totally comfortable leaving our babies with and finally think we have found them!

Went above and beyond dog and house sitting for my 2 pups. Christine gave lots of updates, sent photos and videos, and spent tons of time with our dogs. She took special care of our shy dog and played ball with our energetic terrier. She also left our house neat and clean! Have already asked her to watch our pups again.

Sam house and pet sat for us when our regular dog sitter was no longer available. We have one pup who is very skittish and we have not had good luck leaving her. She loved Sam immediately! Sam sent us pictures of daily walks, kept our home beautifully, and baked us cookies on our return. I cannot recommend him enough. Fabulous!

We loved having Grey housesit! We have border collie mixes and although they’re older they like to go out to play frisbee and sniff around at least once a day. Usually 20 minutes is enough and Grey was dedicated in finding the time despite some inclement weather. We received a ton of pictures and Grey was very communicative regarding the girls and our cat, Mordecai’s spirits. He was very accommodating regarding packages, thoughtful about our neighbors, and we came home to sweet smelling puppies and a clean house. An absolute pleasure! Would highly recommend and will be looking to book him on our next trip out of town (:

Lulia did a wonderful job of watching Mak. She sent lots of pictures and updates throughout her stay and checked in with us anytime she would be away from the house for a longer period of time. Overall, very happy with Lulia and would gladly ask her to watch Mak again!
