“Autumn was a professional and extremely great with our dogs. She stayed at our home for four days with our two small pets. We got constant communication and picture updates. It was a great feeling to know things were under control at home when we were on our vacation. We highly recommend Autumn. :)”

“Taylor was great! We had her stay at our apartment for 4 nights with our two dogs. She left the place clean, sent lots of photos, and even scooped snow off our patio. We highly recommend and will be using her again.”


“Makayle responded promptly to my inquiry and communicated clearly the entire time watching my pup, Mikka. I know Mikka loved having a companion while we were gone and got lots of love as shared in photos.”

“Mia did an OUTSTANDING job caring for our dog and two cats. She sent us daily updates w photos of walks, playtime, and even did a photo shoot with our dog! She did a home stay for 4 nights and our house was impeccable when we returned. To say I would hire her again is an understatement. We’re convinced our pup misses her and we wish we could hire her indefinitely. If you pass on having her watch your pets you are missing out, if I could give ten stars, I would ❤️❤️❤️”

“Brie house-sat for us while we were away for several days and did an outstanding job caring for our two dogs and two cats. She kept us updated regularly with messages and photos, which gave us real peace of mind while we were gone. Communication was smooth and timely throughout. She took the dogs on multiple walks each day and made sure all four pets were well cared for and comfortable. When we returned, the animals were happy, healthy, and clearly well looked after. We wouldn’t hesitate to have her back and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible, caring, and attentive pet sitter.”


“Mira was amazing! We very last minute needed a dog sitter and she responded very quickly which was so helpful! She came by met Ace before hand which was appreciated greatly. She was very sweet, professional and was very willing to accommodate to all of Aces needs. She stayed at the house and left it just as we had left it. No mess or trash! She followed all instructions to a tea and also sent me pictures of Ace throughout the day and that was super nice! I would highly recommend her!”

“Thank you for taking such good care of our pups and kitties! It was so nice to be able to check in and get a quick response when I reached out. There were lots of storms during our week away and our pups don’t handle weather events well, Tiffany made sure they were safe and comfortable! Was so nice to not have to worry about them having good care. I would recommend Tiffany to others looking for quality care of their pets while they are away.”

“Ashleigh did a great job pet sitting our dog on very short notice while out of town for long weekend. Great communication daily and she was patient/understanding when our dog was frightened by thunderstorms and inconsiderate people in neighborhood shooting off fireworks in the middle of June! Home was in excellent condition when we returned too. Thank you for your service and we will would use her again to care for our dog.”


“Cynthia watched our 3 labs including an energetic pup over a weekend. She was nothing short of amazing! Super professional and reliable. It was awesome to get frequent updates and pictures from her to know the dogs were well taken care of and getting special attention. It was our first time using Rover and having a house/dog sitter but she did a meet and greet with us and answered all of our questions. We will definitely have her watch them in the future”

“I contacted Bobbie with a semi-emergent request. She contacted me back right away and agreed to the request. I ended up not needing her housesitting services, but would not hesitate to reach out to her in the future. Thank you, Bobbie, for helping to put my mind at ease. Have a great day!”

“Kayla went above and beyond for our boy! She is super reliable and took such amazing care of Jax! Just to add how amazing she is, our garage code wasn’t working and she stayed over an hour locked out trying to figure out a solution to make sure she got to Jax while we were out of town!! A+ from us!”

“First time using Rover so was slightly nervous and wasn't sure what to expect but Kaylyn helped to make it a seamless and great experience! Our girls can be big needy lapdogs at times and when we got home they said Kaylyn did great, thay felt safe and loved 😁 We love using family when able (wasn't available for this trip), but it's great to know we have a reliable back up with Kaylyn. We will be using her again in the future I'm sure.”
