Dina took great care of both my dog and my house while I was away! My dog Penny takes a while to warm up to new people but she seemed very happy with Dina.

Christine has been a great sitter for my two dogs- one who can be very slow to trust sitters and she always keeps me informed with pictures and dogs are happy!

This recent booking was our first overnight stay with Steven. I’ve booked Steven a couple times before for day-stays and I was so relieved to hear he was available for house sitting while I went on a several day hiking trip in California. My pup is anxious and very attached to me so, I have a hard time leaving her with just anyone. Knowing Steven would be taking care of my pup let me fully enjoy myself while I was away. I’m appreciative of his flexibility, understanding, and communication. Thank you for all of your kindness and patience with Palomita! Can’t wait for our next house sitting opportunity.

Lauren was Blue’s first nanny ever, and she truly is amazing! She kept me updated with adorable photos of Blue and followed my instructions on crate time perfectly. You can really see how loving and skilled she is with dogs. I felt completely at ease leaving Blue in her care. Thank you so much!

So reliable and kind. She sent us photos and videos while we were away. And even though Clover can be difficult, he seemed to really cling to her while she was here. Definitely going to rebook next time we go out of town!

We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Barbara watched our two dogs for two weeks while we were away for our wedding and honeymoon + also stayed in our home. From start to finish, everything was handled absolutely perfectly! We received tons of thoughtful updates throughout each day which made it so easy to relax and fully enjoy our time away knowing our babies were in such good hands! It was clear the dogs were happy/comfortable and very loved the whole time. On top of that, she treated our home as if it were her own. We came back to a house that was absolutely spotless. We’re truly incredibly grateful for the level of care she provided. Barbara was outstanding in every way!

Lucienne was the BEST! I was very nervous to introduce my cats to a new sitter as they had the same one for 4 years, but Lucienne was so gentle and loving that they warmed up in no time. She played with them, left entertaining cat tv on for them when she left, and kept the place clean. She also consistently sent photos and videos. Thanks so much Lucienne!

Ja was a great communicator, sent lots of pics of our dog, and left our house in excellent condition. I felt particularly bad for not setting up our house code properly when we left, which had her stuck outside our house for a half hour, but she was gracious about it and loved on our dog. Thank you Ja for helping us out, and on short notice to boot!

I almost didn’t want to leave a review because I’d love to keep Aleksi to ourselves 😊, but he is one of the best Rovers we’ve ever had. I’m always nervous leaving Woody with anyone, and Aleksi made me feel completely at ease from start to finish. His communication was fantastic, the updates were thoughtful, and he took amazing care of both Woody and our home. We came home to a happy dog, a spotless house, and total peace of mind. I can’t recommend Aleksi highly enough and would book with him again in a heartbeat!

I can't say enough wonderful things about Madison. Leaving my dog, Birdie, with someone new is never easy because she is naturally shy and can be quite anxious when her routine changes. From the very beginning, Madison was incredibly patient, kind, and understanding. She took the time to earn Birdie's trust and made her feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while I was away. The updates and photos Madison sent gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear that Birdie was not only being well cared for but was genuinely happy and relaxed. Seeing my normally timid dog become comfortable with Madison spoke volumes about her compassion and ability to connect with animals. Madison also took excellent care of my home. I returned to a spotless house and found everything exactly as I had left it. She was reliable, communicative, respectful, and professional throughout the entire stay. What impressed me most was how genuinely invested Madison was in Birdie's well-being. Her patience with Birdie's anxiety and her thoughtful, attentive care exceeded all of my expectations. It's rare to find someone who is both so trustworthy and so naturally gifted with animals. I would wholeheartedly recommend Madison to anyone looking for a pet and house sitter. She gave me complete confidence while I was away, and I would be absolutely thrilled to have her care for Birdie again in the future.

Mo is so incredibly thoughtful and kind. He is great with our 12.5 year old boxer. He keeps up with her medication schedule, sent plenty or updates and pictures, and is just super communicative overall. With this being our second house/pet sitting experience with Mo, I can definitely say he is our new go to. Couldn’t recommend him more.
