“Andrea is a great caretaker of pets and homes. She followed all directions and even cleaned up when one of my elderly cats didn’t make it to the litter box. She washed all the bowls and left them for me, as well as taking out the trash and making sure the cans ended up in the recycling. I will definitely book her again!”

“Nicole was a wonderful dog sitter. She stayed with my senior girl for two weeks while we were on a trip to Europe. She sent detailed updates and pictures daily, which as an anxious dog mom made me feel so much better. She was a perfect house guest and left the apartment clean and well taken care of. I could tell Bella loved her! During her stay, they ran into neighbors/friends/family who all had nothing but great things to say about Nicole and her care for Bella.”

“Orianne was amazing with our girl Brandy. She took the time to work through Brandy’s anxiety and was so patient and understanding along the way. It’s hard to come across sitters that pay attention to every little detail, but Orianne is beyond detailed oriented. Will definitely be booking her again without hesitation.”

“Laurie is an excellent job taking care of Copper. She was extremely responsive and flexible. She did a fantastic job handling my dog’s reactivity and left my apartment clean. Highly recommend Laurie’s services!”

“Katie did a great job taking care of Annie! I loved getting pics and updates so I knew she was doing well. I hate leaving her but knowing she was so well taken care of made me able to enjoy my vacation!”

“Christine took amazing care of our one year old rescue during our week away. She’s a fantastic communicator and sent regular updates with adorable photos from long walks and playtime. She even taught our pup a new command, and left our home spotless and our lawn watered too! Our pup adored her and we will absolutely be rebooking. We highly recommend Christine. You and your pet will be so happy with her truly exceptional care!”

“Holly is a brilliant sitter! Looked after my dog like she was her own, plenty of updates throughout my time away, and left the house neat and tidy. Thanks Holly!”

“Kellie is amazing, we just got done with a long, 9-day trip where our flight home was cancelled the day coming back. Kellie stayed in close contact and was able to stick around as we figured everything out to get home. It was a huge relief having someone so reliable and responsive in such a moment. Plus she always has a wonderful attitude every time she takes care of our girls and really puts a personal touch on her stays. She is respectful of the house, and honestly l’d swear she was never in the house if I didn’t see the pictures she sends—she is just that tidy. She also sends lots of photos and videos, which our kiddo loves to see!”
“Claudia was amazing as usual! She was amazingly flexible with an extended, weird sitting schedule and my pup always seems happy and well cared for on my return. Book with confidence!”

“Rosie did a fantastic job watching our dog, Janie, for a couple of hours! She was punctual, friendly, and made us feel confident that Janie was in great hands. When we got home, Janie was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. We really appreciated Rosie’s attentiveness and the peace of mind she gave us while we were away. We’d absolutely book with Rosie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker!”

“Renee went above and beyond taking care of our dog, including leaving him rose petals on Valentine's day! She provided regular updates and was sure to snuggle up with him a ton while we were away! Thank you so much for the wonderful care!!”

“Holly was amazing and a life saver. She responded so quickly when we needed last minute help and kept us updated the whole time. Plus our house was impeccable when we arrived. We’re truly thankful and highly recommend her!”

“We could not have found a better person to watch our doggies! She was very communicative the whole time. We could tell she genuinely loves dogs and knows how to handle them. She put my mind at ease while handling personal matters and I would definitely be continuing to use her service! Thank you so much, Quiana!”

“Daniel took great care of our dog (and home) while we were away. He was flexible and communicative when there was a 12+ hr power outage, and went great lengths to ensure our dog was taken care of during these unforseen circumstances. We arrived home to a happy and healthy dog. Teddy looks forward to his next "Boy's Weekend" with Daniel!”

“Esther watched our anxious pup, Frankie, for 8 days and took excellent care of him! She was so patient with Frankie, who really needs someone to meet him where he is, and gave us lots of great updates, photos, and videos. She also left our home cleaner! We really appreciated that Esther is such an attentive and communicative caregiver and highly recommend working with her!”

“Marie is so great. We have an older dog and she took great care of him. Carrying him up and down our 3rd floor walk up multiple times a day because she noticed he was having arthritis flare ups. I seriously cannot recommend her enough for her attention and care for our pets.”

Natalia was absolutely wonderful. She housesat for us and watched our three pets last minute over a holiday weekend and I couldn’t recommend her enough. The pets seemed to have a blast and looked so happy in all of the pictures she sent! She communicated multiple times a day, left the house cleaner than she found it, and gave us peace of mind during our vacation. She is amazing!

We had a wonderful experience with Holly! She did a great job keeping us updated on how our dogs were doing and took such good care of both of them, including our new rescue puppy who needed medication and a little extra attention. Both dogs were happy and relaxed when we got home. We’re so grateful and would absolutely recommend her!

Kellie continues to be an amazing sitter for my two small Yorkies! I have complete peace of mind knowing they are always in such good hands. This rating and review below is for multiple house/petsitting engagements beginning in June. She is incredibly caring, dependable, and communicative. She keeps me updated with photos and videos, and it’s always clear that my pups are happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I also really appreciate how well she takes care of my home—it is always spotless when I return, which is such a nice way to come home after a trip. After several stays, including longer international trips, I trust Kellie completely. She is reliable, thoughtful, and genuinely cares about my pups. Having someone I can depend on makes traveling so much easier. I highly recommend Kellie and will absolutely continue to book her!

Alicia was amazing with our dogs and cats while we were away for 10 days. She took great care of their many needs—walks, medications, reassurance during storms—and left the house cleaner at the end of it all. Highly recommend for multi-pet households who need complete peace of mind!

This was our first time leaving our little dog, Artie, with a Rover house sitter, and Eric was outstanding. We were so grateful for his responsiveness, reliability, thoughtfulness, experience, and understanding. Our flight home was delayed and Eric even stayed quite a bit later than expected to make sure the handoff went smoothly for our anxious dog. He was great administering Artie's medication, adjusted easily to his walking and picky eating needs, and kept in good regular contact. Highly recommend him and look forward to booking him again. Thanks Eric!
Look no further, Ava is the best sitter! My sweet Winston (mini labradoodle) suffers from generalized anxiety and has his quirks, but had the absolute best time with Ava. Ava was incredibly responsive, shared frequent updates & photos, and not only did she provide the absolutely best care for Winston, she kindly also watered my plants. Please, if you need to leave your furry family member behind on a trip, reach out to Ava!!!
