Lindsey was a wonderful companion for our very particular dog Kona. Her calm demeanor is fantastic! Lindsey took great care of both Kona and our house. I highly recommend her services.

Quiana is wonderful! It’s no wonder she has the Rover stats she does. She is truly a dog person and was able to connect with our dogs, even our one “problem child” within minutes. Quiana stayed at our home for 8 days while we were out of state. She checked in daily and sent funny updates. Our home was exactly as we left it. Hiring Quiana is like hiring your most responsible friend to sit! We were 1000% at ease the whole way through. We wouldn’t use anyone else!

Yocelyn obviously loves dogs, and my very anxious pocket bully fell in love with her immediately. Yocelyn has a relaxed feel to her, which was good for my dog, and she was also careful to give Farah her numerous supplements. She left the house as she found it and was responsive about letting us know how Farah was doing. Highly recommend!

Veronica is the best dog sitter I’ve ever had! My six month old puppy Zeke loved her and had such a great time with her and her dog JoJo. She kept me up-to-date on how things were going and sent pictures every day. She stayed at my house and when I returned, it was like I never left… She had cleaned everything up!! She is fantastic! Highly recommended!

Michaela really helped out and was able to come dog sit for an entire afternoon on very short notice. She went above and beyond on communication and was easy and pleasant to deal with. She made sure Edgar was comfortable and had bathroom breaks, food, and water as needed. Definitely will rebook.

Carly has quickly become one of our go to sitters for our two rescue pups, Jade and Deacon. She’s dependable, open to feedback, and calm with our pups who have some quirks thanks to their pasts. I recommend her for your pet needs!

About: I have tons of experience not only as a pet owner but as a veterinary assistant, I am pretty efficient in dealing with even the most troubling pups and even have training experience to curve some of the most common but unacceptable behaviors. Pet care is almost therapeutic for me and I’ll treat your baby just like my own , I come with tons of advice from healthcare , toys and training. Basically if I know something about something you’ll know too. I hope that we can work together in the future to make your and your pups life easier. I also have experience with small mammals, birds and reptiles so feel free to contact me about any of your pets I will gladly help.

John is by far the best dog sitter I’ve found for my two girls. My husband and I were able to travel in peace knowing they were in good hands. John kept constant communication with us and even informed us when packages were received while we were away. He is reliable and a consummate professional. I have absolutely no reservations on referring John to friends and family who need a dog sitter!

Lenny is wonderful! Upon her 1st visit all the animals including the cats that usually hide from strangers were investigating her. She took great care of everyone - our cats and our dogs. She even did wash animals bowls and the dishes we left in the sink in a rush to leave. Everyone seem to be very happy. She sent a ton of photos and asked questions! Cannot recommend enough!

It's so incredibly difficult to find someone who takes pet sitting seriously. The moment I did a meet and greet with Rebecca, I knew right away she was "the one". Her love and knowledge for animals is obvious, and her commitment to ensuring we were comfortable while leaving our babies made our stay even better. She followed my crazy instructions and sent me so many photos which always makes me feel so much better. I wish I had found Rebecca sooner - ten thousand percent will be begging her to watch my pets again!!!

Tia was an awesome, Dog Sitter for our 70 pound, somewhat anxious, rescue dog, Lucy. She instantly knew how to make Lucy comfortable and feel secure, which is no small feat. She was also completely reliable., showing up on time, responding quickly to questions, taking as much time as we needed during our meet and greet. I cannot recommend Tia highly enough.

Tia is excellent! We have three dogs and a cat. All three dogs have some special needs and Tia managed their personalities and quirks (and medications) perfectly! She left her room tidier than she probably found it, which we appreciated! We completely trust her with our home and our pets and look forward to having her back.

Steven is beyond a five star review. I honestly can’t say enough good things about his stay with our two dogs. He sent us morning, midday and evening updates along with pictures. Our two dogs don’t normally like strangers but he took the time to come by prior to our home to make sure it was a good match. He is more than qualified to take care of your animals. He is the man for any job needed.
