1. Lucinda Z.

“Lucinda is responsive, trustworthy, and flexible. She has stayed overnight at our home with our dog and cat, and she’s wonderful with them. I’ve had difficulty on occasion with the Rover app and Lucinda went out of her way to contact Rover herself and help me. She goes above and beyond! I highly recommend Lucinda.”


2. Mackenzie B.

“Mackenzie is great with our dogs. She has stayed in our house and is an excellent house sitter too. We know our boys are getting plenty of love and attention from Mackenzie while we are away.”


3. Dayna P.

“Dayna was a fantastic dog sitter for my two pups! I had a death in the family and needed to leave on short notice. Dayna and I did a FaceTime meeting right away and she came the next day to stay at my house for a few nights. She took my active dog on walks throughout the day and sent me photos of how they were doing. When I got back she had washed the sheets and cleaned the house and the pups were relaxed and happy. 10/10 will definitely book Dayna again!”

“Maia stayed with Millie at our home for 2 weeks while we travelled abroad and we are so grateful for her care! She sent daily updates and photos - we could tell she really got Millie’s personality. We had a worry free vacation knowing Millie was being so well taken care of! Would definitely recommend Maia! Thanks again!”


6. Laura T.


“Laura was fantastic! She was flexible and willing to stay late/adjust her hours if necessary. She was also great with her communication and sent updates throughout the day as she was watching my 12-week-old puppy. I highly recommend her and would definitely use her again in the future!”

We feel so lucky to have connected with such a wonderful person! It’s stressful leaving my dogs when I travel, but knowing Marie is giving them extra love and cuddles allows be to enjoy my trip!”


12. randee S.
“Randee did an amazing job with our needy and anxious old dog. He hates being alone but is not great with other dogs and Randee was so great at managing his needs. Randee sent frequent and thorough communication about Mikey with photos keeping us updated on how he was doing while we were away. It was so reassuring to have Randee there with him and know that our dog was in good hands. Thank you Randee!”


13. Madz W.

“Madz was great with my pets! I received multiple photo updates each day and the pets warmed up to Madz quickly. One of my dogs needed medications while I was away and I was a bit nervous about it, but Madz was able to administer without any issues. Happy to book with them again!”


14. Ann M.

“Ann took wonderful care of our dogs and home. She is an excellent communicator and is clearly an experienced, competent dog sitter. We definitely plan to book future stays with her!”

16. Robyn & Drew W.

“Robyn was awesome! She took excellent care of Millie and was very attentive to her needs and made her feel comfortable and secure. A true miracle! I would be happy to have her help again. She went above and beyond, even washing the sheets and making the bed. Millie was super happy when we returned home. She was totally professional. We decided to return a little later and she was communicative and kind enough to stay longer.”


17. Lucas B.
“Luke would absolutely provide safe, loving care and excellent customer service because of his genuine kindness, reliability, and attentiveness. He's someone who deeply values the well-being of others, whether it's pets or people, and always goes the extra mile to ensure their comfort and happiness. His warm personality and strong sense of responsibility make him a trusted and dependable person, and he has a natural ability to connect with animals, offering them both affection and care. I have no doubt he'd treat every pet and client with the utmost respect and compassion.”


18. Annalei L.

“I came home to a happy and content malamute, thanks to Anna. She is so great at focusing on my big girl and making her feel everything is fine and normal while I am away. This is Anna's second time housesitting for us and will be part of our future travel plans again.”




19. Marianne W.

“If you are looking for someone to take care of your pet, then look no further. Marianne took such good care of our family dog when we were away for five days. She gave Sugar more love, care and activity than I could have asked for, keeping me in the loop every step of the way since it was her first time watching her. I always new that Sugar was in great hands, and I couldn't recommend Marianne more.”




20. Kelly G.

“Our two dogs were instantly at ease with Kelly the moment they met her. She watched our two large dogs (60lb and 70 lb) for eleven days while we were traveling. She took each of them on a walk every morning, kept them company during the day, and spent the night at our house for their peace of mind (and ours). She coped admirably with an unexpected outbreak of ants in the kitchen that started the morning before we left, and with our inquisitive Shepherd chewing up her sunglasses. In addition, she fed our pet frogs twice weekly and watered our house plants. She sent us daily updates and pictures of the dogs. When we returned home, our dogs were happy to see us but calm and didn't appear stressed in the least. We look forward to hiring Kelly again to care for our dogs.”
