1. Lori G.
“I was nervous about leaving my baby with anyone, but after our meet and greet I was very comfortable leaving Bella with Lori. Bella immediately connected with Lori. I will definitely have her stay with Bella again.”
2. Mackenzie W.
“Great communication and daily photos/videos. This was our first time leaving our dog, so she didn't eat for the first day we were gone. We collaborated on some problem solving, and she decided she could eat again with the help of some peanut butter. House was well cared for, as well.”
3. Emily P.
“Emily did such a great job watching my special needs dog! She was attentive, caring, and dedicated to making sure he was safe and cared for properly. She sent photos and videos everyday! She kept my place clean and made the bed. Highly recommended!”
4. Allison G.
“Allison was great!! We have an anxious large Retriever and we came home to a happy content boy! The house was cleaner then when we left and we got so many cute photos and updates. Very happy with Allison and highly recommend!”
5. Cory W.
“Cory was awesome. I will definitely book with him again. He was on time and kept in contact with me throughout the house sitting process. I had a bad experience with Rover before and he has certainly renewed my faith about the program. Thanks again Cory!!”
6. Jessica D.
“Jessica was wonderful with our dogs and the overnights she did for us while we were out of town. She kept us notified of how things were going! Thank you Jessica!!!”
7. Victoria B.
“Victoria is the utmost professional when it comes to the quality of care for your fur babies. She is attentive and responsive. Sends lots of pics. Most importantly, she relieves any stress you may have leaving your pets for any amount of time. Will gladly use her services again.”
8. Yasmin M.
“Great job by Yasmin. Cyrus the dog got to run in the yard and play tug, and Frank the cat was safely fed in the privacy of his bedroom. Well done and we appreciate Yasmin's pet care.”
9. Brenda E.
“Brenda was amazing with our boys! She also sent pictures so we could see them daily. She also took care of our fish and our house. Even changed the sheets! Definitely would book again. Thanks again Brenda!”

“Grace did a great job watching our dogs while we were away. She gave regular updates and the dogs shears looked like they were having fun! Thanks Grace!”

“Andrea was a great communicator and took great care of our dog, cat and house. The house was also spotless when we can home. We will definitely have her help again if we can!”
12. Nathan P.
“Nathan did a great job with our two cats over the long weekend despite it being pretty last minute from us! Tried his best to win them over but they're a fickle crew. Would happily ask him again for future cat visits.”
13. Madi B.
“Mari B did a fantastic job taking care of our Jon Jon. She even made progress in teaching Jon Jon how to play fetch. And as a rescue dog Jon Jon has many difficulties that Madi handled beautifully. And she made sure to keep the rest of the house running smoothly as well. Can’t give Madi B. a high enough recommendation. If you want the dog/house sitting done to perfection, have Madi B. do it. I know we will.”
14. Jack P.
“Jack is a great candidate for the Rover program. He is kind, patient and always puts the dog’s needs first. He has taken on several foster dogs with his partner and they have successfully helped them become adopted! I would recommend him without hesitation to take care of any dogs in his care.”
15. Natasha A.
“The only way I could enjoy my vacation was knowing Natasha was with my girl. She sent the perfect amount of updates and barely left a trace of staying at my house for a week!”
16. Lauren F.
“Lauren did a fantastic job with Ivy and my cat Winston while we were away! She communicated well with pictures and texts and was very patient! We will definitely be contacting her in the future :)”
17. Torina G.
“Torina was excellent at caring for my 2 dogs over the weekend. Our dogs have different activity levels and needs, and she was great with both of them. She sent lots of pictures while we were away and left the house clean. I've already booked her again for another stay:)”
18. Patty D.
“Patty is a dog loving soul who connects with dogs of all breeds! I’ve seen her with a chihuahua, and then with my large breed labradoodles, and she gets along well with them all. She is responsible, good natured, and punctual.”
19. Kira S.
“Kira did a great job watching our house and dogs! Our 10 day trip turned into 13 with flight delays in Miami. She was willing to stay an extra night and then come back and stay one more. She sent us pictures while we were gone. Came back to happy dogs who had been well cared for and the house as we had left it. Would have no reservations having Kira pet/ house sit again and highly recommend her”
20. Javon L.
“I am definitely a helicopter parent when it comes to Pickles, but Javon was the best sitter ever. Can’t wait to have them back to hang out with our little cream puff.”
