“Rachel did an amazing job and she left my home better than I left it, lol!!! She was attentive and communicates everything and lots of pictures! My boys loved her and I felt like I could enjoy my time away! I would recommend her to anyone and will definitely use her again! We love her.”
“Suzy was fantastic - provided ample updates/photos and did a great job with my dog. She was super communicative and I always felt in the loop with regards to walks, feeding, etc. Thank you Suzy!”
“Erin is amazing! She went above and beyond and you can tell just loves animals! I am so happy I found someone who I feel loves my dog as much as I do. I would 11/10 recommend her if you need an amazing sitter to watch your fur baby!”
“Lindsey was amazing over a full weeklong stay with my crazy band of pets. She provided excellent care for my two big velcro dogs with anxiety and two cats (one of which requires a daily pill and additional care). Great, regular communication with pictures and left the pets and house in better shape than when we left! Would definitely recommend.”
“Pam did a great job staying at my house with my 4-yr-old miniature poodle while I was away. I could tell when I got back that he had a really fun time with her, and he had been super well cared for. She sent lots of adorable photos, too. I would definitely hire her again!”
“Sarah was amazing! She sent lots of pictures and updates. My dogs really bonded with her and I can tell enjoyed the time she spent with them. Would definitely reach out to her in the future to help take care of my dogs. She was very trustworthy and went above and beyond”
“Tori was incredible! She house sat for us for about a week while we were in Europe. She took care of our cat the entire time, sending us adorable photos each day. A huge benefit of having her stay in our home was her checking the mail and bringing in packages for us, we can’t thank you enough!”
“Christina is amazing! I was very cautious about hiring just any Rover because I live in a busier area where there is a lot of traffic - I wanted to make sure that Max and Bailey would be safe during their walks. Christina was amazing with their walks, and I could tell she's very careful and loving with the pets. Our babies absolutely adored her, and I did not worry once based on the updates and photos I received while I was away. We will continue to use Christina as our regular sitter as our babies love her, and we do too!”
“This is the second time Karen has dogsat for my blind, senior dog who is nearly 15. I definitely recommend her to others who are looking for someone to watch their dogs or cats, whether in her home or in yours. It's hard to find someone who can care for a dog when they start having more problems as they age, but she is very communicative and I've already booked my third visit for her to watch my dog, later this month.”
“Sai stayed in our home and cat-sat our attention-addicted cat for 12 days. During this time, he gave our girl a lot of love, made sure she had all her needs met, and was responsive to any messages we sent him. Sai is trustworthy and professional. We would absolutely ask him to cat-sit for us again!”
“Mansa was great - our dog loved her, she was prompt, great at communication, we would definitely use her again and would highly recommend her.”
“I had Shereen watch tippy for the entire week and there was no issues whatsoever just goes to show her professionalism and dedication to your pet. Thanks for taking care of him again!!”
“Kylee was fantastic. My two dogs liked her right away. She sent pics to us each day and took great care of our dogs and our home. She is pleasant and very focused on the well being of our dogs. I will ask her to sit again and already recommended her to one of my neighbors in my town. A plus for Kylee! Katrin and Sam Peck”
“Sade was so compassionate with Max and not rushing him to get to be comfortable with her and gave him time and space. It also helped that Max was in his own home and Sade took care of my place as It were own. Would love to book again with her for future dates.”
“Daniel was great! Short notice availability. He was very accommodating with some minor last minute requests, and also when our relatives had to drop by a few times. Consistently sent (VERY adorable!) photos with a brief note/comment every day while we were on vacation. Was good about being communicative and responding to any questions as needed. House was left pretty clean when we came back. Highly recommend!!”
“Zoe was amazing with my dog, Sadie! She kept me updated throughout the day, and sent me pictures of Sadie and her having a great time together. It’s always difficult leaving your pet, but I was happy to know that she was in great hands. I will definitely be using Zoe’s services again in the future!”
“Alston was fantastic! Our dog gets very nervous around new sitters, but Alston put her at ease right away. She was incredibly responsive and kept us updated multiple times a day, and even made a special pup cup for our dog on Christmas and washed the sheets before she left! We were really able to relax on our vacation, knowing that our dog and home were in such good hands. We’ll definitely book with Alston again!”
“Karly was great! This was my first time having someone other than friends/family watch Chase and it went so well thanks to Karly. She was very communicative. She took fantastic care of him. I absolutely recommend Karly!”
“Elisa was very comfortable with our 1.5 year old German Shepherd/Belgian Malinois mix! She also sent the best photos and updates. We just had her watch our dog during the day while we were out of the house, and she was very flexible with the time she gave to us. So grateful for her help and we will definitely ask for her help in the future!”
“We had Liliana watch out Great Dane puppy for the weekend and she was so patient with him! She took care of him as her own and I would recommend anyone to have her watch their animal.”
