“Jini was a wonderful sitter for our home and our pets! She was communicative, clean, kind, and did a great job keeping our pups on a routine and feeling comfortable while we were out of town. We had no doubts that our boys were well taken care of, exercised and treated like they were her own while we couldn’t be here. We will absolutely be calling Jini for future trips and sitting needs!”

“Kayla obviously cares deeply about pets. She checks in with me between bookings about Farah's welfare. Farah was sick this time, and Kayla kept in close touch about her symptoms. She also helped us out with running a sample to the vet and taking care of an issue for a guest in our Airbnb. She also soothed Farah when Farah was missing us. Our nervous Farah really likes Kayla's calm, loving presence.”

“Kyndall was great! Mia ran up to her immediately wanting to be her best friend at our initial meet & greet, which you know says a lot about Kyndall's vibe. She didn't blink an eye at all of Mia's medications or routine. She was respectful of my space and sent me plenty of pics of Mia while I was away — a huge comfort for anxious moms of old dogs! 10/10 recommend.”

He loved all of her attention and playtime; she really let him burn off his energy while house sitting. Cosmo is sleeping like a little baby and is happy as clam. 😀”

Lauren was fabulous! She agreed to housesit and care for our elderly, special needs guy at the last minute, after another Rover sitter cancelled, and she took great care of both Arthur and our home. Lauren was super responsive, extremely competent, and sent lots of updates to keep us informed. If you're looking for a trustworthy, resourceful person to handle both your four-legged family and your home, look no further than Lauren. We'd definitely book with her again!

We've had Alaina dog/house-sit for us 3x: Aug, Sept, and Oct. The first one was for just 1 overnight and the other 2 were longer stays. Our 2 dogs get very excited/barky with new people, but I think they warmed up to Alaina quickly. For all 3 jobs, Alaina stayed at our house. She would go home (she happens to live near us) to occasionally check on her own pets, but always came back to make sure our girls were taken care of and that they were never left alone overnight. Regarding communication, I had to proactively check in w/ her a few times over the 3 jobs, but she responded quickly, sent cute pics, and then was sending a lot of great pupdates by the 3rd visit (which we love)! We will definitely request Alaina's services again and do recommend her for in-house stays!

Daniel did a fantastic job taking care of our puppy and was a pleasure to work with! Our puppy can be a little shy with new people, and Daniel really helped him come out of his shell and gave him lots of playtime. He provided helpful, timely updates and responded to messages quickly. We highly recommend Daniel, and look forward to working with him again.
