“We had the chance to meet Chelsea when we came to visit the US for a month , Our dog has separation anxiety so we needed someone affectionate and patient. We knew she was the right person for our dog when we met. We received plenty of pictures which reassured us, and her feedback was very helpful. We highly recommend her to anyone needing a caring sitter.”

“10/10. The most loving, attentive, grateful and dedicated person I could have found to take care of my dog. Linda stayed at my place and she took her of my dog while leaving the place just as I left it! She took the time to get to know the dog and me and I appreciated that so much. She would send me daily videos and pictures and she looked so happy and well taken care of. Thank you so so much Linda!!! An angel.”

10. Krystalynn D.
“I am writing to highly recommend Krystalynn as a dog sitter. Over the time she has cared for my dog Majik and has consistently shown exceptional dedication, responsibility, and genuine love for animals. Krystalynn has an incredible ability to connect with pets, ensuring they feel comfortable and well cared for. Whether it’s going for walks, playtime, or maintaining feeding and medication schedules, Krystalynn has always gone above and beyond. I have always returned home to a happy and healthy pet, which speaks volumes about the care she provides. Not only is she reliable but Krystalynn is also attentive to details. My dog Majik has stage 2 kidney disease and Krystalynn took the time to understand his unique needs, food diet and habits, which has given me great peace of mind while away. I wholeheartedly recommend Krystalynn to anyone seeking a trustworthy and compassionate dog sitter.”

15. Michael S.
“Me and my husband love Mike! We have two cats who travel with us in our Sprinter Van and when we need a break, Mike is great! Our cats are indoor/ outdoor who are comfortable on a leash. We provide our own kitty litter, box and food, Mike takes care of the rest. It's so awesome to have someone we trust in Miami Beach to drop off our precious boys when we want to go out on the town in South Beach or take a kitty break for a couple of days and head down to the Keys.”

“Alyiah is the most trustworthy sitter I have ever met on Rover! She takes care of my dogs and my home as if they were her own. I am able to go on vacation and travel without a shadow of a doubt that my beloved pups are in good hands. Pretty sure she left my apartment cleaner than when I handed over the place. Love this young lady and grateful to have found her!”


18. Blas M.

“Aleja went above and beyond to make my nervous pup feel comfortable! She was communicative and sent lots of photo updates. Definitely plan on having her stay with my girl again!”


20. Ashley F.

“Ashley was a blessing to us! Just knowing our Bo was being taken care of and was not alone while we were gone was such a relief. She did everything we asked for and Bo was a very happy dog when we returned home. She also did things at the house as well and some unexpected things we forgot to tell her but when asked she did not hesitate. We definitely will contact her and use her again!! Highly recommend her! Ashley is a jewel!!”
