“Jenna was amazing! Her communication was excellent-fast and clear. She sent updates and photos all weekend, and came exactly when we had arranged for her to come. I would absolutely hire her again, and recommend her to anyone. She is clearly knowledgeable and comfortable, and warm and caring with dogs.”
“Rachel was absolutely amazing! She was kind and professional and my dog loved her immediately. She sent lots of pictures and videos and kept me updated while I was away. She is trustworthy and knowledgeable and I would definitely book with her again!”
“Claudia did a wonderful job with our very persnickety cat and dog! She was on time, sent pictures, and managed to win both our pets over! Claudia is great!”
“Daniel watched our 3-yr old dog while we were away, and he did a fantastic job. He was great at communicating leading up to our vacation (confirming details) and sent us detailed daily updates while we were away! I felt really confident that our dog was well cared for! We will definitely ask Daniel to watch our dog again.”
“Our dogs (even our timid rescue) adored Sarah and she was super communicative throughout her stay. She took them on an hour long walk each day and stayed with them in the house for extended timeframes throughout the day so that they had access to the yard and plenty of belly rubs. Highly recommend working with Sarah!”
“Daniela spent the weekend with our two puppies and made them so comfortable and happy! Koda can be anxious sometimes but he warmed right up to her and had a great weekend. She took them for plenty of walks and car rides, sent loads of updates and pictures. She stayed with them during our wedding weekend and I was stress free knowing they were safe and happy with her!”
“Our pets (dog, cat and fish) were very well taken care of by Chris while we were away for over a week. Chris asked lots of detailed questions, sent regular updates, and even got to pet our very shy kitty, who is terrified of strangers. Everyone was very happy and healthy upon our return. We will definitely book with Chris again.”
“I highly recommend Juilieanna she is patient and takes fanatic care of my pup. She sends me videos and photos throughout the day with status updates and I appreciate the kindness and great care she gives my dog!”
“Caroline did a great job house sitting and watching my dogs while I was out of town. She was prompt and super helpful in all of her communication while I was away. I can tell she has had a lot of experience with dogs as they all warmed right up to her. Highly recommended!”
“Anika took amazing care of our rambunctious pittie-lab mix! We really appreciated the detailed updates and pictures, and would happily have Anika dog-sit again!”
“Did a great job house-sitting our pups, and rolled with a chaotic returning-to-home situation to help us out with our three month old. Our pups have never seemed so content after a 3 day absence!”
“Claudia is our go-to dog and house sitter. We have two tricky Great Pyrenees and she does an amazing job with them. The house is cleaner when we get home than when we leave :-)”
“I cannot say enough about Claire. She took care of everything. In my opinion, tater ( the dog ) would rather live with Claire than me at this point. That’s how good she is with animals. 100% recommend her!!!”

“My wife and I were told about ROVER by a coworker and used Rachel for the first use of ROVER! I can not say enough about this experience! Very prompt and caring for Falcon our 4 year old goldendoodle and watching over our home while we were out! Lots of communication with us on how he was and pictures were sent on each day we were gone! This is an amazing service that I will with out a doubt use again and my first go to will be Rachel!”
“Ashley was wonderful with our 16 year old lab. Our dog requires lots of extra care which Ashley didn’t mind at all. We felt comfortable and had peace of mind knowing our dog was in good hands. Definitely recommend her for your pet.”

Monique J.
“Monique is WONDERFUL! I actually met her at her job, Petland. I was shopping for a new collar and some toys for my boxer mix and I was going on about how I was trying to find someone to watch him for the weekend while I went away on business, and she mentioned that she actually did dog sitting and would love to do it. The next day I met with her and my little Billy got to see her house and meet her dogs, everyone immediately hit it off amd it was set! She sent me LOADS of pictures and videos of Billy having fun with her and her dogs, even ahowing me that she took him to the pool. It really helped reassure me, especially since this is the first time spending the weekend away from him. She really is the greatest and her love for dogs is evident.”
