1. Katherine K.


“I love Katherine! This is the third time she has sat for us and I always feel good when I leave my pets in her hands. She updates us every day and even picked up branches from a storm last night. She is the best!”


2. Samantha W.

“Samantha was terrific with my quirky dog. She learned his vibes and personality quickly and worked well with him. She kept me informed, cleaned up after herself, and I would absolutely hire her again.”


3. Sharron I.

“Sharron is AMAZING. She was great to work with; she gave regular updates, spent quality time with my dog, and was a great communicator! I will definitely rebook her services in the future.”




4. ROBERT W.

“Robert was so great with our slightly anxious pup. We were so nervous to leave him, but Robert has a wonderful calmness that was perfect for our Louie.”




5. Rachel F.

“Our family highly recommends Rachel! We knew she was the right sitter for our senior dog when she immediately knelt down and loved on our dog while we all got to know each other. While we were away, Rachel handled a difficult situation with swift decisions, kindness, and grace.”


6. Gretchen G.


“Gretchen was awesome, she sent me daily updates and photos. She walked them and took them to the dog park. They were clearly well taken care of - maybe a tad bit spoiled - which is exactly what I wanted! The house was clean, poop picked up, and clean sheets were on the bed when we got home! One of my dogs has a pretty intense fear of unfamiliar floor surfaces, so overnight daycare for a week where she can't escape it leaves her feeling exhausted and stressed, this was the perfect solution. I am definitely going to book Gretchen again!”


7. Tacy G.


“This is our second time booking Tacy and she has been great both times! She is very loving and attentive to our pets, and respectful of our house. She sends us just the right amount of pictures and check ins and we feel so grateful and at ease that she is with our dogs while we are away. We highly recommend Tacy!”


8. Brooke L.

“Brooke was a great house, dog & cat sitter. She was detailed in her updates and sent many photos making us feel comfortable so far away from our pets.”


9. liv T.

“Olive is very gentle and caring. Our fur babies gravitated to her instantly. She cared for our menagerie for a week. They and our house were in perfect order upon our return. She sent us updates and photos on a fairly regular basis. She was responsive and responsible. We recommend her and will use her again.”


10. Simon K.

“Excellent communication and lots of pics and videos. I definitely felt that my dog and cat were safe and well taken care of. Will 100% use again.”


11. Paige H.
“Paige was easy to communicate with and made me feel comfortable leaving my dog in her care. He is high anxiety and she did great with him and he was in great spirits when I got home.”


12. Penny W.

“Penny was very easy to work with and my dog was very relaxed around her. She had no problem doing anything I asked was very sensitive to my dog’s needs.”


13. Zosha C.

“Zosha is a MIRACLE of a pet sitter. Not only was he up to the challenge of caring for our two cats AND two dogs for a week, one of them was newly added to the family and finishing her first heat cycle. Moreover, Zosha left the house in perfectly clean condition with FRESH SHEETS on the bed. Book him as soon as you can and without reservation.”


14. Lacie A.


“This was our first time using Rover and our first time leaving our dogs with anyone but our family. Lacie was super lovely, updated us all throughout the stay, and our pups were both settled and rested when we came home. Would defianntly recommend and utilise Lacies amazing dog whispering skills again!”


15. Kari K.

“We have a dog with a lot of anxiety and a cat that is apathetic about humans. But Kari won them both over!!! She is an incredibly caring person that obviously loves animals. She has my highest recommendation!”




16. Drew G.

“I Really liked Drew he seemed to do real well with Ellie and I could tell he enjoyed her. I was glad he walked her and got her to do another #2, and he had good suggestions on preparing her kennel-- I'd like to continue to have Drew help out with Ellie... maybe 1 or 2 days a week, and I thought eventually I could leave Ellie for longer times up to maybe 2 or 3 hours at a time without anyone here...and work into having a sitter just stop in between these periods to visit for a bit, walk and feed and water her then have her in kennel or kitchen when leaving again...I thought when I'm working for 5-6 hours 4 days a week, maybe near the end of April. it may not go this fast but I can play this by ear...thank-you Drew. ”


17. Summer W.

“My elderly dog often gets very anxious and disoriented when I’m away, but he is very relaxed and at home with Summer. I’m confident that she will know what to do in various circumstances, and administering his medication is not a problem. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”


18. Sharon D.

“Sharon agreed to sit for my dogs on short notice after the other sitter canceled on me. She agreed to take on my dog who is in the process of dying and might have died while I was away (she didn't). I really appreciated that. My dogs were healthy and happy upon my return. My house was exactly as I had left it when I came back. She even washed the sheets she had used! There were no issues everything was great. I would definitely use Sharon again.”


19. Beth D.


“Beth was really communicative and made us feel very comfortable leaving our greyhound and cat with her over a long weekend. She sent lots of cute update pictures and left our house very clean. She even turned on relaxing dog YouTube for our pup while he waited for us to return!”


20. Katy T.

“Katy is phenomenal! We were worried to leave our puppies for the first time and she put us at ease right away. I could tell in the pics and videos she sent that they loved her. Highly recommend her and I am planning on using her in the future. Cannot say enough great things about her!!”
