1. Patricia S.

“Wow! Patricia was amazing taking care of our dogs and the house! She has what is hard to find in someone: common sense and reliable. She took on some extra responsibilities to help us out and even stayed late when a snow storm made for a long day getting home. We will definitely have Patricia over again.”


2. José S.

“José did a great job house sitting! I have to admit that I’m a little bit of a helicopter parent when it comes to my dogs, but José did everything that I asked and more!! He’s quick to respond and constantly kept me updated on where my pups were at. I never had to ask for pictures either. He kept my husky busy with many walks and even got my anti-social dog to come out of her hiding spot and play! I know my dogs were well taken care of and will miss all of the attention. I would recommend José to all of my friends and will definitely use him for any future trips.”


3. Val S.

“When our regular dog sitter had to cancel due to an unexpected illness we made our way back onto rover to search for a replacement. We contacted Val, who responded quickly and was available. It was within a couple days of our trip and Val immediately initiated a meet and greet so as to make sure the fit was good and to go through some important information about the caregiving of our dog at our house. We found Val to be caring, mature and responsible and felt very comfortable with our selection. Val showed up on time, took great care of our little girl (doggy) and our house. We were so thankful to have been able to relax on our trip away with family. Thank you Val!”


4. Josie C.

“I greatly appreciate Josie’s promptness and kindness. My dog had her head in Josie’s lap within the first 5 minutes of meeting her. She was also extremely flexible, taking me to the bus station for my ride to the airport. I would definitely hire her again.”


5. Kendra S.

“Kendra was absolutely amazing with our pups! Especially with our senior pup, she was patience, attentive with communication and potty breaks! Loved all of the pictures and updates and she was a life saver with last minute travel changes!”


6. Mariah & Dani Z.

“Mariah was great to have, we had her watching our dog for 2 weeks, she was great at communicating with us and we never had to worry about our dog. We knew he was in great hands!”


7. Amalia M.

“Amalia was an amazing sitter for my dogs and an incredibly respectful house guest. My dogs felt right at home with Amalia staying over to watch them and they were both happy and healthy when I returned home. Would definitely book again!”


8. Chelsea M.

“Chelsea was on time and responsive to texts. My dog was happy when I returned. The house was as I left it. A very positive experience. I’d hire Chelsea again.”


9. Colby M.
“Colby was an amazing dog sitter/walker. She was always reliable and on time and left a detailed note of their walk, which I really appreciated. Any time we intersected at my house the dogs were so excited to see her. She took great care of them and my house while pet sitting as well. I trust her emensely.”


10. Kenny W.

“Kenny was communicative and compassionate. It seemed like my dog had a great time!”


11. Jennifer T.

“Jennifer was so wonderful! She was so understanding of my senior pup needs and my anxious 1yr old puppy! She communicates really well and left the home beautiful.”


12. Erin D.
“Erin was able to step in and watch my cats Ghost and Scoot after I had to make an emergency trip home. Not only did the boys love her (maybe more than me, honestly), but she was able to properly administer Scoot's medication despite his *dislike* of the process. Overall, Erin gave me peace of mind in a troubling time, and I'd have no issue recommending her to others.”


13. Whitney P.
“Whitney has taken great care of our pup Bandit many times. She is always tender, caring and understanding even when he roots through the kitchen and causes trouble with the cats. She's dutifully given him pills and taken him to appointments when necessary and gives timely updates. She also always sends lots of photos or videos of him playing, napping, begging, etc. he always comes home happy. She is responsible and respectful (we are so lucky to have her as his dog sitter) and we cannot recommend her enough.”


14. Heather T.

“Heather watched my high-strung Australian Kelpie for me while I was on vacation. Normally, my dog would get anxiety and tear up things if not exercised but when I got back, he was relaxed and very comfortable. Heather told me that he played and had fun, apparently he didn't even miss me.”


15. Meghan R.

“Meghan stepped in with little notice for a last minute trip and handled everything with a professional attitude. She communicated well in advance and took great care of our crew (2 spoiled cats and 2 pampered cats). We will definitely use her again!”


16. Amanda P.
“Amanda is wonderful with animals! She always takes such great care of my dogs. She goes above and beyond to make sure the dogs are getting the play, exercise, and mental stimulation they need to help them settle down the rest of the day. She gives them a ton of affection, spending quality time with them, and from the pictures she sends of her visits with them, they are obviously deliriously happy spending time with her! She follows any and all directions to a T, whether it’s regarding meals, meds, exercise, etc. There is no one else I’d rather entrust my furbabies to!”


17. Josie S.
“Josie loves animals and is very responsible and reliable. She has helped take care of my dogs and goats and does a great job. I highly recommend Josie!”


18. Alaina H.
“I met Alaina through Dee-O-Gee, and trusted her right away. I invited her to my home to take care of my dog. I received pictures and updates while I was away, which was so appreciated! Upon return home, my house was exactly the way I had left it. Alaina will be welcome in my home, always. She’s a kind and down to earth girl, I’d recommend her to everyone!”


19. Ellie T.

“Excellent experience. We were out in the mountains and had zero internet most of the time. When we were connected Ellie gave us the info about how the dogs were doing so we had no worries at all. She sent us pictures and took them on plenty of walks.”


20. Dominique D.

“Dominique was really fantastic! She sent photos and was great with my elderly pets who have some special needs.”
