“Very attentive to our pup and proactive on communication”


“Left our three musketeer pups for the weekend, 2 of which are senior and one that requires a bit of extra assistance. We got the cutest and most detailed updates of our pups, and could tell how well taken care of they were while we were gone. Can’t wait to have Stephanie watch and walk our fur babies again next time!”


“Sasha is amazing! I felt super comfortable leaving her in our home with our fur baby. She took care of King like he was her own. He was so in love! I am so happy we found her as we plan on taking more trips away from home. I can finally enjoy my vacations.”

“I had the pleasure of having Hazel take care of my dog and my friend’s dog at the same time, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Hazel is absolutely wonderful. Her attention to detail was exceptional. She followed each dog’s routines and dietary requirements to a T. I received regular updates with photos, which put my mind at ease while I was away. I appreciate her reliability and professionalism. She was always punctual and responsive to my messages. I wholeheartedly recommend her, and I’ll definitely be booking her services again in the future. Thank you, Hazel for being such an amazing caregiver to Little Bear and Reese!”


“Angelica is amazing! This is my first time with Rover and I will always book ahead and use her. I have a rescue dog Micky that is not friendly to most people and needs to be cared for from our home From the first Micky really liked her and was well taken care of. Angelica took severe photos per day and texted my husband and I about how Micky was doing. We look forward to future travel knowing our dogs are in good hands!”


“Sara was great! Our dogs loved her and she sent tons of photos every day. She was very communicative and followed all the instructions we left for her.”

“Ivanna is everything we needed, close by, prompt, took great care of my dog, spent the whole day with her, gave her a walk, etc. Can't leave the dog alone long, she gets stressed, with Ivanna I came home to a happy dog. Definitely recommend, will use her again”

“I pre booked a house sitting with Omar and his wife because I did not have someone who was definitely going to watch my bulldog. So to be safe I booked Omar. I had a meet and greet with him and his wife and they were so exited to pleas I was very impressed by there enthusiasm. Unfortunately my pooch did not get to Jersey in time for him to watch hence why I only gave 4 stars because I was not able to get the service so was not able to judge whole process .Which was not their fault just timing . Im sure though they would of been great pet sitters from the vibe I got from them In our meeting .So will be booking with them again soon!”

Samiyah did a great job watching my dogs, Debo and Sadie, while I was out of town from Thursday to Wednesday. She was reliable, respectful of my home, and kept me updated with messages and photos throughout the stay, which I really appreciated. She followed all instructions as requested and made sure both dogs were well cared for during my time away. I came home to everything in order and two well-looked-after dogs. Her professionalism and communication made the entire process smooth. I would definitely book Samiyah again and recommend her to anyone in need of a dependable and trustworthy sitter.

It is such a gift to have connected with Hazel; we have had her stay with our Effie dog many, many times now and we never worry for a single second. She shares so many updates and goes the extra mile to take care of Effie and our home. We most recently went on a long trip abroad and truly felt like we had a trusted relative staying in our house taking care of Effie. Just the absolute best.

We had another great cat-sitting experience with Magdalena. She is caring, communicative, and reliable. I recommend her highly.

Natalie always does a great job with our pets! She’s a wonderful house guest too! So lucky to have her as our sitter!!!

Ivanna is everything we needed, close by, prompt, took great care of my dog, spent the whole day with her, gave her a walk, etc. Can't leave the dog alone long, she gets stressed, with Ivanna I came home to a happy dog. Definitely recommend, will use her again

punctual, friendly and good with our two dogs who warmed up to her immediately. she sent updates throughout her stay to let us know things were going well. we would not hesitate to use her again.

Great experience working with Sewina! She was very flexible with timing. Communicative and great with my dogs!
