“Stephanie was very communicative and took good care of my pup and house. The place was clean upon my return and my dog seemed to be very happy spending time with Stephanie. Highly recommend”


“Pat was fantastic! Very communicative, responsive and helpful. She took great care of Stormie and we couldn’t be happier with the job she did. Highly recommend!”

“This was my first time using Rover and my first time having Pamela stay with Zori and Clover. Five stars all around! They LOVED her. She took excellent care of them, even gave them baths! Her communication was excellent. I received daily photos and updates. I was in Norway and Iceland for two weeks and it really made a difference knowing that all was well at home. I have her booked for two more stays already!”
“Absolutely remarkable! Jenny is such a caring and conscientious sitter (and person too). Excellent and consistent communication throughout the stay. Daily photos that reflected Charley’s comfort. She is thorough and professional, following all instructions (meds, meals etc) to the letter. Home was well cared for as well. I highly recommend Jenny.”

“Michaela was absolutely wonderful. We have a dog who can be reactive to other dogs and people and have never left him with someone he doesn’t know to watch him. Michaela almost instantly became his best friend-something he has never done before! She is confident with dogs and takes their reactivity seriously which made us feel so much better while we were gone. We got updates on him multiple times a day with pictures and she was very responsive if we messaged her to check on him. She left our apartment spotless-and honestly probably cleaner than when she got here. She was on time on arrival and followed our instructions to the letter. We will absolutely be asking her to watch our baby again. Thank you Michaela for watching our baby!”

“Weasley is a puppy and somewhat timid with new people. He warmed up to Karen and her daughter quickly and did well during the time Karen puppy babysat. He was happy and doing well when I got home. The home was left how I left it.”

“Susanna was great. She was considerate of my dog, family and home. Her care allowed me to focus on my work away from home. Dasher welcomed me with ease upon my return which to me means he was not frantic with anxiety while I was away. Peace of mind for me and my boop.”

“First, we trust our pups with almost no one. Caitlin was wonderful with our two pups! We booked her for a day of constant care because we have a 15 year old senior pup who needs to go outside A LOT and requires some extra care. She came and met the pups and us beforehand to ensure it was a good fit, and has since worked with us on training for our younger pup. She has even set up a Google Drive folder so we can track training items and keep other documents like house sitting instructions. We feel so fortunate to have found a reliable, kind, person to watch our pups, and we highly recommend her!”

“This was our first time using Rover, and we had an awesome experience with Tiffany! Mochi can be a bit dramatic and for sure shows her Shiba attitude — but Tiffany was awesome with her as she is very knowledgeable and flexible. She eased all of our worries with leaving Mochi for the week, and we were definitely able to enjoy our trip more knowing that Mochi was in good hands! We got pictures and updates daily, and Mochi said she had a great week :) We will definitely book with Tiffany for our next trip!”

“We initially had a bit of communication fail at the start of dog care but after we communicated efficiently, Kim took great care of our Shih Tzu puppy while we were away and she took great care of our home. She sent many videos and photos through each day updating me on what our puppy was up to which we appreciated. Make sure you clearly communicate how and where care takes place, if your animal will be around other animals, walks/transportation, other guests present & your pets schedule to follow. This will make sure all parties expectations are met. We would absolutely hire Kim again! Thanks Kim from us and our pup 🐶♥️🙏🏼”

“Annabelle was an amazing sitter for our anxious dog!! We could tell moose was comfy with her, and she was so patient with his quirks. We will 100% book with her again in the future.”

“Eric did a great job with the dogs and made friends with our cat, which only likes us occasionally. The house was clean, the plants watered, and he took the time to send us daily pics. Eric was great.”

“Hayden was super easy going, responsive and sweet with our 4-year old golden doodle. He kept us posted throughout the weekend, sent cute pics and took care of our pooch. We'll definitely call on Hayden again.”

“Gwen went above and beyond taking care of our sweet girl while we were out of town for a week. She stayed in our home and left it cleaner than when we left. I cannot give a high enough rating for the level of service she provided. I highly recommend if you are in need of a Pet sitter.”
“Roree was very communicative and showed up right on time for both visits. We have complicated kitties that need to be kept separate and Roree was up for the task. I will absolutely be booking with her again very soon!”
