“We are so grateful to have found such a wonderful dog sitter! She watched our puppy multiple times in one week (even on short notice) and was always timely, responsive, and incredibly patient. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our pup was in such good hands. We can’t wait to continue working with her!”


“Savannah did a wonderful job looking after my dog while I was away. She also provided great, thorough updates for every single check in! I would highly recommend her.”


“Katie did a great job looking after our two cats. She left us thorough notes on what she did during each visit and sent lots of photos. She even volunteered to vacuum litter on the floor, which was above and beyond what we expected. One of our cats is very shy, and we were impressed that he felt comfortable with Katie after just a few days. This was our first time leaving our cats with a sitter, and Katie made the experience stress-free for us. We will definitely rebook with her next time we go away!”



“Natalie is wonderful! Have to use her often for business travel which is random and sometimes very last minute due to projects. She is very reliable! Don’t steal her time please, I need her! Lol”


“Cori is great- not only did she take great care of my cats but she also takes great pics too! Will definitely contact her again next time I need someone to cat sit”


“Jess was beyond fantastic. She looked after my senior cat and was completely flexible when my cat needed medication. I also had a bit of a pet owner nightmare--the heat in my apartment broke when I was away for winter holidays--and Jess went way out of her way to get my cat to a safe place. She was super sweet, understanding, and clearly cares for pets. I absolutely recommend her!”


“Lauren is fantastic! We are so thankful she is available to keep an eye on our pets when we aren’t able to be around. We are repeat customers and will continue to book with her as long as she is available - there is no better comfort than knowing someone who is reliable, communicative, and trustworthy is spending quality time with the furry meme nerd of our family.”


“Lauren is an amazing sitter! She dropped in on our pup for 5 days and took great care of her as well as keeping her company with snuggles and her toys! She was on time every day and followed all instructions we left for her. I’d recommend Lauren to anyone!”


“Tessa is absolutely wonderful! She took such good care of our cat and treated him like her own pet. Our cat is skittish around new people and she was very patient with him. She is an excellent communicator, letting us know when she would check on our cat and updating us on how he was doing. Tessa is reliable, capable, and it is very clear she has a heart for animals, which we greatly appreciated. This was our first time using Rover, and we are pleased with the service she provided. You will be so lucky to have her watching your animal family members! Thank you again, Tessa!”


“Lauren is absolutely awesome. She is great with the dogs, follows instructions, and has great communication. She is also flexible which was a huge bonus. She sends pictures after every visit and lets you know how everything went. I have full trust in her and would definitely recommend her.”



“We appreciate Kathleen being available on the holiday so we could spend time visiting family and not have to worry about Archie :-) she was on time and sent lots of pics and videos. Thanks Kathleen! Archie looks forward to seeing you on nye.”


“Taylor was fantastic! She took care of our cat for two weeks while we were away traveling. She arrived promptly when scheduled each morning, fed, refreshed water, cleaned up daily, and spent time playing and comforting our pet. I would definitely recommend Taylor to a friend, or book her again!”


“I am glad my cat Dorita is also making friends with Richard and coming around more when he goes check on her! Richard takes care of my dog and cat both and he has been great so helpful to us!”


“Theresa did a great job of watching my kitties and made sure all of their needs were attended to. She was very responsive with communicating what was going on with them as well as accommodating of my busy holliday schedule that changed at the last minute. I would definitely book her again if I go out of town again!”
