“Noah was great, he was very patient in getting to know Abby and kept us up to date on the progress. Abby did warm up and they became good buddies. Noah was very low impact, the house was as neat as it was when we left. I would gladly have him come back!”

“Uliana was great sitting our two large dogs for the week while we were traveling. She sent regular updates, and left our home sparkling clean, which was really nice to return to after traveling. I would recommend uliana.”

“Saba was very responsive to my last-minute request for overnight pet sitting and made it very easy for me to leave town with full confidence all would be good. She shared photos and spent a lot of time with my dog making sure she was happy and getting exercise. Would definitely hire Saba again and recommend her highly!”

“Tyler did such a wonderful job taking care of our dog and two cats and all their unique needs! He sent lots of cute pics, took our pup on adventures, and took great care of the house as well . Hope to have him back in the future!!”


“Racheal was a great sitter. Very responsive , thoughtful and flexible. She was patient with my anxious pup and sent regular updates. Looking forward to future stays.”

“Sol was really great to have sit my fur babies! She was super communicative, respectful, and sent tons of photos each day. It seemed like both of my fur babies enjoyed her company! She was also really patient with me when i was running late to our first meet n greet. Thanks Sol!”
“Caroline was great! She is super communicative and was willing to meet up last minute to take care of my sometimes reactive dog. She was good at reading Ruby’s body language and giving her space when she needed. Caroline kept me updated throughout the sitting and made me feel like Ruby was safe and cared for. Will absolutely be using her again!”

“Jessica was a great sitter for my dog maggie. We were on vacation and stayed at an air bnb and Jessica was able to meet us there and take care of our dog while we were away.”

“She took amazing care of my cat Chico while we were away. He’s very spoiled and usually not friendly, but he became so comfortable and bonded with her right away. That says everything. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. I will definitely rebook her—highly recommend!”


“Timothy was great! We found him communicative, punctual, and polite. We appreciated the pictures of our pets while we were away and his flexibility made our trip more relaxed. Thanks!”

“Aliye is wonderful. She came by to meet Buddy and our family beforehand, and even our cranky 18‑year‑old pup warmed up to her right away. Her calm, patient approach and experience with senior dogs gave us great peace of mind. Her proactive communication was much appreciated. We’ll definitely hire her again!”
“Theo provided above and beyond care to our two dogs. Our holiday travel plans were extremely delayed and he was willing to ensure their safety and well being. When we arrived home the house was exactly as we left it, and the dogs were clearly well loved and cared for. We cannot thank Theo enough for his consistent communication, attention to detail, and flexibility that he had while watching after our dogs over the holiday.”

“Melissa is our go to pet sitter for our senior pup, Tobey. We always return to a well rested and calm pup, with a tidy house. And whenever I can, I recommend Melissa to our local community.”

“Kathleen really is the best! I’d give her 6/5 stars if I could. She was not only timely with the girls’ schedule, she sent us updates everyday along with pictures of them. We could tell how much she cared for the girls and we can’t thank her enough. Our cat was dealing with some vomiting issues, but Kathleen was on top of keeping us updated and making sure she was doing ok. We can’t recommend her enough!”

“Levi took great care of my kitten, Ghibli, while I was overseas. This was the first time I’d left Ghibli with someone else, so I was a bit nervous, but Levi made it easy. He sent photos and updates, communicated well, followed all my instructions, and left my place tidy. You can tell he genuinely loves animals, and Ghibli seemed to really like him. I’d definitely book Levi again and would happily recommend him to others.”

“Alijah was able to watch my puppies last minute. She was flexible, respectful, and very helpful. My puppies loved her. She was very attentive and sent photos of the pups regularly and responded to any messages in a timely manner. I would love to rebook her to watch the puppies again! Overall a great experience booking her. Very happy with everything.”
“Margaret took care of my two cats for 16 days, and I couldn’t be happier. She was responsive, met with us beforehand, followed all instructions, and my cats adored her. They were clearly well cared for and comfortable. Highly recommend her for anyone needing a reliable and caring cat sitter!”

“Simi did a great job taking care of our pup Amber. She communicated well, followed our care instructions and Amber seemed to have a good time with her! Thanks Simi!”

Zoë took amazing care of our two dogs! She is by far the best Rover we have worked with. We will absolutely book Zoë again. She was responsive and communicative. I didn’t worry about the dogs once for the week we were away. She left our home exactly as she found it and we came home to two very happy pups.

Dafne was amazing with my 8 year old Great Dane! Mac can be timid and slow to warm up and her calm demeanor and patience had him warmed up in no time. They had a wonderful weekend together and I got so many picture updates. 🥰 I’d love to have Dafne stay with my guy again and would recommend her to anyone!

Jessi was an incredible sitter! She gave predictable updates everyday with lots of pictures and even made a beautiful checklist showing our pup getting his food and medication each day. I felt completely at ease that our pup was being well cared for while we were gone

Cassandra watched my dog while I was on vacation for a week - she was an absolute pleasure to work with and have in my home! My dog loved her and was very happy, she was super communicative and reliable, and she left my home in excellent condition ❤️ I would highly recommend her!

Erin was great. My pup wasn't feeling well while we were away and Erin kept her comfortable and me well informed of her status. I came home to a clean house and a happy dog. Erin clearly loves animals and cared for my dog as her own. I highly recommend her for home pet sitting.

Emily did a great job taking care of Penny, especially giving her a liquid antibiotic via syringe which was an unplanned care item. Penny was very happy and well adjusted when we came home which meant she was quite comfortable with Emily. The house was in perfect shape and we would definitely have Emily sit for us again.

Dianna was hands down the best house sitter we’ve ever had. We needed someone to care for our husky, Lilo, while we were out of town for several days, and Dianna exceeded every expectation. She was incredibly attentive, reliable, and communicative throughout our trip. Every day, she sent detailed updates and plenty of photos, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing Lilo was happy, safe, and well cared for. When we got home, Lilo was excited to see us, but it was obvious she had formed a special bond with Dianna. In fact, we think she was a little disappointed it wasn’t Dianna walking through the door! That alone speaks volumes about the care, attention, and love she provided. We would recommend Dianna without hesitation to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and exceptional house sitter.

Megan was so nice! Extremely friendly and instantly made me feel reassured my 4 cats would be in good hands 🥹 our apartment was spotless when we came home and all the kitties got a good brushing. I love that she provided updates and super cute pictures, but made sure to check what our preference was for frequency since we were on a work trip and would be fairly unavailable. Super thoughtful! Highly recommend Megan although I wish she could cat sit only for me 🤭

Elena was a great dog/house sitter! She left our home tidy and clean after staying with our Dog Nico over the weekend. But more importantly, she took great care of our fur baby! We got lots of pictures, great communication and she even came over to feed him after her stay because our flight was delayed. Would highly recommend Elena!

I can't recommend Aubrey enough! She is absolutely wonderful with my pets, and they adore her. From the moment she arrived, it was clear that she genuinely cares for animals. My pets were so happy and relaxed in her presence. We feel incredibly fortunate to have found her, and I will definitely continue to book her services whenever I need a sitter!
