Jessica was a wonderful pet sitter to our older cat. She was able to do a few overnights so our cat wasn’t lonely. She actually stayed longer than scheduled because of a snow storm. Our house was left tidy and communication was good throughout our trip including pictures. We would use Jessica again.

Cameron watched our two dogs and our house for two weeks while we were on vacation. I honestly dont think we would have had better or more attentive service from a close friend or even a family member. Cameron was on time, every time. Left the house just as spotless as it was when we left, and the dogs loved having his company. The daily messages and pup-photos were proof of that. If you're looking for someone to watch your pets and/or your home, just stop looking and contact Cameron.

Emma stayed with my cat Patrick for a week while I was in another state for work. Patrick needs some special attention and takes daily medication. She did a great job making sure he was taking care of and comfortable! Additionally, she communicated with me well and made sure to send me some pictures every day!

Samantha came to my rescue after my original house sitter had a family emergency. She took wonderful care of my dog Eddy and my cat Lily. Both pets were relaxed and content when I returned home. I would definitely have Samantha sit with my pets again!

I cannot speak highly enough of Jennifer! She house sat for my 5 mo old puppy and two senior cats, and my garden for six days, coordinating with veterinarian to deliver medical care to my sick cat and spending most of her time with my animals. She worked on training my pup and got him back into a good routine! She is super communicative and gives you the kinds of updates you want to hear about and sends lots of photos. She follows directions to a tee, so I never had to worry! She kept the house clean. I will definitely be asking for her again! 6 stars

Excellent sitter for my 8 year old and 2 1 year old Rottweiler puppies. Mya is a loving and compassionate person. She followed my special instructions to the tee and was especially great with my youngest puppy with epilepsy as one of the 7 dogs in her own household also has epilepsy. I couldn't have asked for a better person than Mya for my last minute booking while I had surgery. Will definitely use her repeatedly! Highly recommend.

Kaitlin has the magic touch! My generally shy cat Watusi was in the kitchen posing for pictures the first day! Blizzard my dog loves anyone who'll give him a treat. Kaitlin kept them both happy and fed, along with plenty of pats, pics and snacks. She was also willing to water my outdoor plants, but with all the rain I haven't had a chance to see if she really needed to. I definitely recommend Kaitlin as a pet sitter and will be checking to see if she's available the next time I travel!

About: I’ve been known through my family and friends as a “dog whisperer”, and have had dogs in my care all my life! I’ve owned and taken care of my own senior dog for years, and am currently working with my new puppy. I have detailed experience with elderly dogs and dogs with medical needs. I can administer medications involving needles, and fulfill special food requests. Currently, I am a university student and I have a small part time job. However, I miss working with animals and my class schedule tends to be very flexible! In caring for a pet at your home, I treat it as if it was my own. I always emphasize to follow directions perfectly, and to treat your things with respect.

We absolutely LOVED Lucas! Even Bobby Cat loved him and and Bobby doesn’t like anybody! This was the first time we have ever left our boys with a stranger. We did a meet and greet with Lucas several days before we left and our beasties all went crazy over him. I trust their instincts over anything. Lucas sent us pictures and messages daily. I felt comfortable and confident that the boys were in good hands, and able to relax and enjoy myself. The entire experience was great! Lucas will be our “go-to guy” for future travel!

About: I love all animals. I’ve primarily had rescue cats & dogs and wish I could save them all. I’ve bottle fed abandoned kittens and rescued pregnant cats. I have experience with an abandoned, abused and anxious dog who needed patience and compassion on a daily basis. I’ve taken care of a variety of dogs from tiny chihuahua’s to large labradors & Dobermans. Each one with a personality all their own. I’m retired and I’m looking for a meaningful way to fill my days. I’m available most of the time, although I do love traveling when I can. I will follow every instruction you have in order to provide exceptional care for your pet in your home. My Rover reputation is based on you & your pets happiness!

Mary did a great job with both pups, even my anxious one! She was able to help us out on relatively short notice and even squeeze in a meet and greet before the sitting to acquaint herself with the pups!

Kate is amazing! We have used her numerous times for house sitting and caring for our dogs, and she has always been reliable, trustworthy, and attentive. She provides updates while we’re away, which gives us great peace of mind, and our dog is always happy and well cared for when we return. We highly recommend Kate to anyone looking for a dependable and caring pet sitter!

Nina was delightful. She immediately greeted our pets when she came for a meet & greet, asked good questions & took notes. We really appreciated that. She was a great communicator during the pet/house sit. Our pets were very happy when we got back home & she left our home in great shape. We will definitely request her again to care for our pets & home.

We would highly recommend Torie as a house sitter for your pets. She gave us updates, sent photos and loved on our two dogs while we were on vacation. It was so nice to know they were well taken care of while we were away. We have had her stay with our two dogs numerous times and will request her again in the future.
