“Colin is the best dog sitter for my little pugs! He treats them like his own and they seem just so happy with him. I’ll only use his services going forward so long as he’s available and able. I’ve honestly never experienced any sitter remotely as sweet and kind as him. Thank you, Colin!”
8. Irina Z.
“I couldn’t be more pleased with the exceptional care my dog received from Irina! From the moment I met them, it was clear that they were not only professional but genuinely passionate about animals. They took the time to understand my dog’s needs, preferences, and quirks, which made all the difference. Throughout the stay, Irina kept me updated with pictures and messages, which reassured me that my pup was in great hands. My dog was not only well-fed and exercised, but also showered with attention and affection. I returned to a happy, healthy dog who clearly felt loved and well-cared for. I highly recommend Irina to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dedicated sitter. Their attention to detail, reliability, and love for animals make them stand out as one of the best in the business. I will definitely be booking them again!”

“This is our second time booking with Liubov, and she hosted Astro while we were traveling for over a week. We were always assured our boy was comfortable and well taken care of, sending us daily updates on their walks and activities along with videos and photos. We have an energetic cattle dog, and even on rainy days, she engaged with Astro by introducing scent work to keep him stimulated. Until next time! Thank you!!”
12. Derek & Solip "Stella" T.

16. Lujia Z.
“Lujia (Kris) took care of our two cats Fava and Bisous for around 10 days recently while my wife and I were out of the country. She was nice enough to accommodate a visit before the booking to check out the place and also add an extra day as we made a mistake in the original booking. Lujia has a cat Mia who is very sweet and seemed to get along well with our cats. She has a house that is spacious and well set-up for cats with a lot of cushions, toys and is very clean overall. Lujia was very prompt in responding to questions, sent pictures daily and gave us regular updates on their food habits and activities. Overall, we had a great experience with Lujia and would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable cat-sitter on Rover.”
17. Gabrielle & Patrick C.
“We needed a last-minute sitter for our dog, Rue, for a weekend out of town, and Gabrielle & Patrick were absolute lifesavers! Even with short notice, they were incredibly accommodating and offered to do a meet and greet beforehand, which really helped ease our anxiety about leaving Rue with someone new. One of the things I appreciated most was the nightly check-ins. Gabrielle would send us updates and pictures, which made all the difference in keeping us at ease. It was so comforting to see Rue happy and well cared for! We would absolutely trust them to watch Rue again in the future. Highly recommend!”
18. Maria C.
“Maria and her home were a great fit for Rex! We had some additional delays in getting home the final day and Maria was happy to keep an eye on Rex for us while we made our way back. Would be happy to have her watch Rex or any of our pets in the future.”
19. Jon S.
“Jon has taken care of my Boston Terrier no less than 30 times over the past eight years, and I'm pretty sure she likes him more than she likes me. Jon is a bona fide dog lover and will ensure that your dog is well cared for and entertained to the point they might not want to leave.”
20. Uriel H.
“Uriel is a fantastic sitter! He picked up and dropped off our three pups on time and sent the cutest updates. We felt completely reassured boarding our pups with him. They looked well cared for and happy when we returned. Thank you, Uriel!”
