Korin was amazing with our dogs. They can be a little hesitant of strangers when they first come but she did an amazing job adapting to their personality and caring for them. Will book again!

Rebecca is fabulous! I am quite particular about dog/house sitters and leave notes, as we view our dog as part of the family. Rebecca is reliable, she followed all of my detailed instructions regarding a particular diet regiment and walking routine. Rebecca is caring and clearly loves animals, our dog was sad to see her go. Rebecca is trustworthy, I am free of worry whenever she takes care of our dog. I highly recommend Rebecca!

Natalie did a wonderful job caring for our two cats while we were out of the country for two weeks. They are extremely shy, and she was patient and creative and successfully drew them out of their shells for playtime and treats. She sent daily rover cards with detailed updates and lots of photos, and followed our instructions to the T. We came home to happy cats and a clean, neat home.

Sarah is a wonderful pet sitter. She loves being outdoors and in so, loves taking dogs with her. I trust her so much with my dog. She is so gentle with her and loves showing my dog new places to explore. She loves and takes care of my dog as if it were her own. She always asks questions and asks for every detail regarding pet care. She shows empathy and patience with my dog. My dog has hip dysplasia and can also pull a lot on the leash so Sarah is very mindful of my dogs health, as well as knowing how to control when my dog pulls a little too hard on the leash.

Chad has all the perfect traits of a dog sitter. He loves every dog, no matter its size or temperament. He is kind, patient, and responsible. I have known his own dogs over the past quarter century, and they have all been very happy, long-lived companions. I would not hesitate to leave my beloved companions on Chad's care.

Sarah was excellent! She dropped in and checked on our very young puppy to feed her, give her a potty break and— most importantly— for some play and snuggles! She sent us picture updates and definitely made us feel better about leaving her at home.

Jaqueline has been an absolute lifesaver for my busy schedule! I had to find someone reliable to watch my dog, Buddy, while I was on a last-minute work trip, and she came through brilliantly. She kept me updated with delightful pictures, making it easy to relax knowing Buddy was in great hands. When I returned, Buddy was his usual cheerful self, and it was obvious he had been well cared for. I can't recommend Jaqueline enough; she's fantastic!

Patrick has extensive knowledge in the pet world. He and I worked together at a pet food store, so I got to see firsthand how he interacts with all of our wonderful fur babies. He not only understands body language and how to respond, but is also knowledgeable in pet nutrition, the importance of playtime, and how to spot when something is wrong. Patrick is compassionate and has a very calming influence, understanding that pets react to our own emotional state. I trust him to take care of my pets.

Cleofas was a primary caregiver to our English Bulldog from the day we brought her home at 9-weeks old through her adult life. We considered Cleofas a member of our extended family + trusted our bully with her for quick week-day walks as well as longer weekend++ overnight stays. She's reliable with any special meal time/snack instructions, dependable with walks/fetch/exercise routines, punctual + most importantly has a warm + affectionate heart that our bully adored. She helped train our puppy into adulthood so understands the importance of commands + training (give her a tutorial on your specific commands). Our bully had aggressive tendencies with other dogs + we trusted Cleofas to steer clear of situations that might trigger her. We never had an incident. I highly recommend Cleofas for your Rover needs! 10/10!

Kyra was punctual, flexible, and a great communicator. I really appreciated how she accommodated our last-minute request and worked around our busy schedule. She gave our pups a quality potty break and made sure they had some fun playtime both indoors and outdoors. I’d gladly recommend her to any pet owner. Thanks so much, Kyra!
