Gail was an excellent sitter. She stayed at my home for a week and took great care of Rory. She was communicative and sent pictures and updates that made us feel very comfortable. The house was left in excellent shape. Will definitely reach out again in the future

Jamie was a perfect match for our diva of a chihuahua. He let her warm up to him on her own and by the end of his stay, she followed him around like she does to us. Jamie’s communication was stellar from the moment we inquired about his availability, to the meet and greet, to the abundance of photos and updates we received while we were away. We felt so comfortable with Jamie that we booked him again for our next out of town stint in a few weeks. Thanks, Jamie, for taking such great care of our pup in the comfort of our home.

Bethany successfully watched our labs for 12 nights while we traveled overseas. She was communicative throughout the week with photos and updates. We came home to two perfectly happy, healthy dogs and would gladly book her again in the future. She’s great !!

I can’t say enough good things about Veronika!! The day before we were going on a week long vacation, our dog got an eye infection and we couldn’t do boarding. Veronika came over for a meet and greet the same day and made us feel really comfortable leaving Mila with medication and love to heal. She sent us the best pictures with daily updates and you could just see how happy Mila was with her. I highly recommend Veronika to anyone who needs a trusted person in their home for a needy dog!

Mads did such a great job of caring for my apartment and my skittish, chatty cat while I was on a week-long trip out of the country! They were super diligent and consistent in sending me updates and photos of my cat, and they were able to accommodate my rather complicated pet feeding and house plant watering schedule. It was such a relief to come home after a roughly twelve hour flight to find my space in perfect shape and my cat fed and happy! I would definitely book with them again and highly recommend them!

Had a great experience with Tammy, who provided in-home dog-sitting for our two dogs while we were away for a couple of weeks. She was kind, professional, communicative, and took very good care of the fur babies. We returned to a tidy house and a couple of happy, healthy doggos. Will definitely ask her to sit for us again, and would recommend her to others!

Renee was wonderful with our 4 pets! She house sat for us for a few days and followed all of our instructions. Everything went so smoothly. She was very considerate and was not afraid to ask questions during her stay, which I prefer. She went above and beyond taking our dogs on super long walks (which she def didn’t have to, esp in the winter weather!). I am thankful to have had Renee taking care of our animals and will def rebook in the future!

Mikayla took care of my house and cats for 2 weeks while I was out of the country on vacation. Knowing I am an anxious cat mom, she sent daily updates and pics and kept me up to speed with the local happenings, both cat and non-cat related. I returned yesterday and my cats showed no signs of having missed me, which means she did an excellent job! Great communicator and too great care of my house and cats....would definitely hire again.

Triston took exceptional care of my dog and cat! While I was away my dog was having bad stomach issues and Triston cleaned up after her accidents, kept a watchful eye on her appetite, and even took her to the vet when I was worried. He went so far above and beyond like no sitter I’ve ever hired before. He took so many unexpected hurdles and tasks in stride and I really can’t thank him enough! What an exceptional sitter!

Kathleen was an excellent sitter for Ivy and Elsie. She followed our instructions carefully, and was unbothered by Elsie's special needs (delayed potty training from UTIs in her puppyhood). Not only is Elsie still developing her bladder control and more likely to have accidents, she also needs wiped with medicated wipes after every potty. Kathleen was sure to do this and she also provided regular updates with photos throughout the day/evening. Both girls had a great time and we'll be sure to hire Kathleen in the future!

Our usual sitters were out of town so we jumped on Rover and were so lucky to have found Emily at the last minute! She was professional and personable but best of all, she took great care of our sweet baby! Because we work from home, we’re with our cat most of day, so we needed a sitter who was able to work from home and could stay overnight. Emily was super thorough during the meet n greet and during the stay gave us daily updates and pics. Patti seemed to really love her! We came home to a clean house and a happy kitty. I would recommend Emily to anyone who wants special and loving care ❤️

Maeve did a great job with my cats! She was super sweet with them and they warmed up to her instantly. I also had a ton of travel problems getting home, resulting in over 36 hours of delays getting back and Maeve was nothing but accommodating and kind, making sure my cats had everything they needed so I didn't have to worry about them during the stressful process. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for pet sitting!

I can’t say enough good things about Rachel! She house sat and watched my cat and dog for two weeks while I was out of the country. Being abroad can make you worry, but Rachel kept me completely at ease with her excellent communication. She sent regular photo updates and notes that showed how much she genuinely cared for my pets. Both my dog and cat absolutely loved her. She is responsible, deeply caring, and a total professional. I will definitely be hiring her again!
