Karen was phenomenal. My dog is what I consider “special needs” - older, a rescue AND a pittie breed mix. Karen allowed me to be away for a couple days and be fully at ease; she was great with communicating with me throughout the visit and I am so thankful to her.

Jake has stayed with Jenni and Matt often. Great sitters for your bundles of love. Very flexible, communicative and personable. I've boarded at their home and used them for in-home services with ease. I think at the moment they only offer in-home dog sitting, which unfortunately doesn't fit my needs as well, or I'd be using them all the time. Definitely recommend them though.

One of the hardest things about having pets is caring for them when we’re not able to. There’s just so much to worry about and too many nuanced details to convey to a house/dog sitter that it’s tough to be at ease. I’ll admit that I’m a little high-strung and using Rover for the first time for this service was not an easy decision. Fast forward to today…Heather is an absolute pro. You immediately get that she’s very experienced and respectful of your unique situation. She asks all the right questions and is an excellent communicator. Honestly could go on and on, but needless to say, we’re super pleased and I think found the high-mark on our very first try. We are already scheduled to see her again this summer and it’ll be the first time that I won’t worry about our dogs or home. Thanks Heather!

Tracy took such a good care of our senior dog, who is still adjusting to his new surroundings. I don't have to see it to know that she took extra care because in all of the pictures he seemed very comfortable around her. Not only that, she took a great care of the house, too! I am so grateful for her care and attention.

She was communicative, kind, compassionate, and respectful in every way - with our animals and their quirks, our home, etc. She sent us pictures and was prompt in all responses. This also was a last minute request due to a previous sitter following through. Such a treasure to find her, and we look forward to working with her much more! Thank you, Joelle!

She sent updates often with pictures and videos which my family loved. I’m pretty sure our pups were spoiled when we were gone and they probably will miss her! I will definitely use her services again in the future and recommend her to everyone!!
