1. Natalie G.

“Natalie has house sit for me more than once and she’s the best! She sends me pics and updates on my dog and cat, and takes excellent care of them. Additionally, she doesn’t mind doing little household tasks (like rolling out my trash cans) which make traveling so much easier. Thank you!!!!”


2. Dustin W.

“Dustin came in the clutch super last minute and made it work for a quick overnight. It was the first time I left my babies with someone that I didn’t know personally. He sent all the pictures and updates I could have asked for. He was reassuring that my dogs aren’t monsters. I can’t even tell someone else was in my home. Easy to communicate with, punctual, dogs seem happy and I am very pleased with Dustin. Will absolutely book again, hopefully with more notice next time. Thank you!!”


3. Shannon O.

“Shannon was amazing with our Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Maggie ( as well as our guinea pigs and fish). Maggie lived her best life while were away for over a week. It's apparent that Shannon adores animals. She quickly learned all of Maggies favorite spots to be petted, took her on multiple walks each day, and showered her with love and affection. We loved the picture updates of Maggie snuggled in Shannon's arms. It is such a gift to be able to leave and know that Maggie is well cared for and loved while we are away. You can tell Shannon enjoys what she does and cares for our furry family members like they are her own. Thank you!”


4. Christina S.

“Christina is a gem! She treated my dogs as if they were her own. My husband and I were out of town for the weekend so we had Christina stay at our house to watch our 2 dogs. She sent me daily pictures and videos treated our home with respect. I highly recommend Christina and we will definitely use her again”


5. Elizabeth B.

“Elizabeth is beyond the best sitter for my cat “Timber” my fiance and I just moved here and travel a lot for work. We have already booked Liz 3 times first for stop by visits as our fur baby needs special attention for his nose and sinus issues and twice for staying at our place. She is practically family now as our cat loves her visits (even sleeps by her head for stay in visits). Very trustworthy as she sends photos and keeps us in the loop on everything with updates and if she notices something out of the ordinary she lets us know.She is the BEST! I wouldn’t pick anyone else to take care of our lil dude but her. Thank you sooooo much.”


6. Matthew D.

“I can’t say enough great about Matthew! He watched my elderly, somewhat failing, blind old dog and was the only one that could make her eat. He stayed 24/7, and when I came home, it was as if a cleaner had cleaned up even some leftover mess in my house. Spotless. Very good about coming before hand to meet my dog. Good communicator daily. Now I know I can leave my pup for vacations with a clear mind! Matt loves animals and I could see it. Matt was the best sitter I’ve ever had near as a pin when spending nights. Able to get my old, blind dog to eat; I even have a hard time doing then. So cuddly with her that I learned to step up giving this blind dog touch. I returned and she was not freaked out. I hope to use this gentle guy again!”


7. Melinda L.


“Melinda was amazing! We got tons of pictures over the weekend. She was super communicative and obviously took great care of our Lola! Definitely recommend her!”


8. Carolyn D.


“My dad and I had a sitter cancel last minute and she was more than happy and willing to step in! I cannot say enough good things about her. Our pets were immediately taken with her. She left the house neater than we left it which was much appreciated. Unfortunately they broke some things in the house and glued them back together and never let us know. It would have been fine if they let us know but they refuse to acknowledge the broken items now.”


9. Olivia C.

“Olivia was so wonderful with our three girls. We have some special needs with some of them, and she was attentive, communicative and followed up. We also loved getting the pictures of them while we were away. I will be sure to book her again! Thank you, Olivia, for taking great care of our babies!”


10. Hollie S.
“Hollie was the best paw sitter for our family for years but sadly our fur babies have passed. Hollie was caring nurturing and reliable. Highly recommend her for fur babies”


11. Brenna K.

“Brenna took excellent care of our house and our dog for 10 days. We got plenty of pictures and updates. She clearly loves animals and we couldn’t be more pleased by the care she took. We came home and our house looked great and our dog is so happy and relaxed. Thank you Brenna!”


12. Shera D.

“Shera is very reliable and responsible with a good understanding about dogs. Our two golden retrievers adore her and we can tell they benefit from time spent with her.”


13. Jordan B.

“Jordan cuddled with my old gal and spoiled her with more walks than she normally gets! He was responsive, sent photos, and she was healthy and happy when I got home.”


14. Morgan S.

“My partner and I just used Rover for the first time for a quick weekend getaway and were lucky enough to stumble upon Morgan. She did a wonderful job watching our dogs and house. She periodically checked in via text with photos of our happy pups and we came back to very happy dogs. We’d highly recommend Morgan!!”


15. Erika A.


“Erika was the best. It was my first time leaving Burton with a sitter. She sent me updates via text and was very kind and caring. I would request her again when I visit the area again.”


16. Karyn S.

“Karyn took wonderful care of our pup (and our house) while we were away 6 days for a backpacking trip. We were largely out of cell range, but felt completely comfortable leaving our dog in her care. And when we returned to civilization, we had several updates, which we loved. Our dog didn’t miss a beat – – despite a sensitive tummy and serious attachment to us, he was happy and healthy for the duration of our vacation, which was the first time the entire family has been away from him more than about three hours. Karyn is professional, kind, warm, and attuned to doggy dynamics. We are so grateful for her!”


17. Holly C.

“Wow! What can I say about Holly! We absolutely love her and so do our dogs. She did a great job with the dogs and had a great connection with them. We will definitely use Holly's services again!”


18. Claremarie S.

“Claremarie was fantastic. She was able to help us out on short notice, and provided excellent communication throughout the entire stay. When we got back, we couldn't tell she had been here. Our house was kept clean (she even did some light housecleaning without being asked), and our pets were kept safe and happy. We are very pleased with her service, and will definitely become a repeat client. Based on our experience, we confidently recommend Clairmarie!”




19. Kirstin J.

“Kirstin was outstanding! She was very attentive throughout the sleep over with Bozly and sent lots of pictures. Came to us for a meet and greet before hand.”
