“Suzanne watched my 2 German shepherds for me, and really made them feel loved and cared for while I was away. They're already looking forward to their next overnight. Would highly recommend her!”
“Rowan was absolutely fantastic for house sitting my 2 dogs and 4 cat mad house. Felt 100% secure in the care she provided. Would definitely recommend to anyone in need of care.”
“Beth was amazing! Showed up with super short notice and was extremely professional. She was kind and Moses loved her immediately, you could tell that she loves dogs and they love her back. She even walked him twice in a 3 hour dog sit. Highly recommend!”
“Naika was incredible. Showed up with very short notice, had a great attitude and was so good with our dog. She is kind, professional, competent, and showed up on time. We will definitely hire her again and recommend her highly as well!”
“Gabby is simply the best. She was amazing and flexible with the needs of our senior girl, Jersie. She sent picture updates throughout our trip and kept us in the loop of what was going on. We are so thankful for her compassion and are looking forward to booking with her again ❤️”
“Andrea did a great job watching my dog! Even through the snow storm, she kept my pup well cared for and entertained. She was also very communicative through the stay which I appreciate!”
“Olivia was awesome with our pups! We just relocated and needed to find a new dog sitter quickly for a business trip and we’re glad we found her. She took great care of our boys, took them for walks and gave them all the attention they needed. Will definitely be booking with her again! :)”
“Maggie is an incredible sitter! She has taken care of my dog, Nattie, on two separate trips of mine now and it is the most confident I’ve ever been that Nattie is safe, happy, and well looked after while I’m gone. Maggie sends me an update with pictures each day, along with any questions or concerns, and otherwise I can trust I don’t need to worry and enjoy my trip without stressing that something could be wrong. I love getting the pictures and hearing about how everything is going, and knowing Nattie is being given all the treats and walks and attention she needs and deserves. I would recommend Maggie to any dog mom looking for someone reliable and trustworthy!”
“Lydia was great with our rescue pitbull! Our dog loved hanging out with her and Lydia was great about keeping us updated and helping us feel at ease during our first time using a Rover sitter. I would highly recommend her :)”
“Crystal is amazing! She stayed at my house and watched my labradoodle for three nights while I was out of town. She is very responsible and left my fur baby and my home in perfect condition!”
“Kayla was great. From the first meet and greet, she showed she was knowledgeable and experienced. We knew our dog would be in good hands. While away, she sent daily pictures and updates. Would highly recommend”

“Megan and Lee are awesome! It was so lovely getting to do a meet and greet before we left on our trip. They took wonderful care of the pets and I really enjoyed getting photos of the happy animals while we were away.”

“Nina was so awesome with taking care of our dogs when we went out of town! We have 1 dog that is diabetic along with several other issues and she was great taking care of him which can be a task. Lots of pictures and messages which made us feel super comfortable. Will definitely use again and highly recommend.”

We are so happy to have Marlena as a dog sitter. She understands the two distinct personalities of our dogs, shows them lots of love and affection, and provides such wonderful updates throughout the stay with photos and even videos, putting our minds at ease when we are away. She is kind, professional, respectful, and truly a dog person - I'm not sure our dogs even missed us, and that's saying a lot!
Kylie did an awesome job staying with our pups while we were out of town for the weekend. Quick to respond and thorough communication, provided lots of photos and updates. She was fantastic with our almost 16 year old senior dog who wears a diaper and requires more care, and also played fetch in the backyard with our younger dog. She was tidy and left the house spotless. Would book again!
Adam was fantastic with my pups! Adam was very communicative, he was able to give my big guy his meds, spent plenty of time with them, and took them for walks! He kept me updated through his stay which I appreciated greatly. Highly recommend Adam and I will definitely book him again in the future!
Brendan was wonderful! He was so attentive and caring and kind to my fur babies! Also came home to a clean house after our 4 night stay in the Smokies. I especially appreciated the daily updates and pictures. He is going to be on my speed dial list going forward. Highly recommend Brendan!
My boys loved spending time with Karen. She took great care of them and made sure my one boy got all his meds. She sent pictures and they looked very happy. The house looked great when we got home. I highly recommend her. I will definitely be booking with Karen again. Thank you for treating my boys like they were your own.
Sara House Sat while my husband and I were out of town for the weekend and I would happily reach out to her again in the future! She took excellent care of our dog Lily and our cat Sam. She provided plenty of updates with pictures and left our home in great condition. Sara is reliable, trustworthy, and provides the best love/care for animals. Thank you!! 🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽
Jessica was an awesome in-home sitter for my 2 dogs. She sent updates every day with photos, and was available for questions/requests during her stay. She left my house clean and in the way I left it. My time away was stress-free, because I knew my babies were in good hands. My dogs were very happy and not stressed at all. I would highly recommend Jess (as long as it doesn’t interfere with when I need her!😉)
Olivia was everything I had hoped for in a Pet Sitter, caring for our dog and cat for a week in our home. During our initial visit, our skittish dog took to her immediately. Olivia projected a bright, warm, and outgoing personality, and asked great questions about our pets and their routines. While we were away, she sent frequent updates and pictures and to my relief was able to give our dog medication for his fear of thunderstorms. It’s a relief that we no longer have to take our dog to a kennel and that we can call upon Olivia the next time we go out of town.
Reilly was very good with our three Shelties making them feel comfortable with her right away. She was prompt and reliable and followed the instructions for our dogs’ meds and feeding schedules just like we asked her to. We appreciated her quick responses to our checking in on how things were going, she even sent pics of our pups. It was very nice!
