1. Judy K.
“Absolutely wonderful Rover sitter. Took wonderful care of my dogs and house while I was away. Kept in contact with pictures and texts. Will definitely use Judy again.”
2. Sherri S.
“Sherri did a wonderful job taking care of my babies. She sent frequent updates WITH pictures showing me that everyone was eating, playing outside, and relaxing. I saw no stress with any of them. Sherri was always on time and she made it easy for me to feel confident in her skills even with short notice for this job and my newness to using Rover. She left the house even cleaner than it was to begin with! I am so happy to know there’s someone who can come and stay with my older pets if I need it and they can remain in their own home in comfort and with less stress than being put in a kennel. This is the service I’ve been looking for in this area, and Sherri’s care is worth every penny of the cost. Thank you! I would highly recommend!”

“Jesse was an incredible sitter for our 18 year old Chihuahua with daily Medication needs!! It was Rocco’s first Rover experience and when we came home from date night, Rocco was CALM, rested and HAPPY. :) He’s a VERY VERY PICKY CUSTOMER so JESSE made this worried Dog Mama Very RELIEVED and Thankful! We Will BOOK AGAIN!”
4. Ben T.
“Ben’s service to our dog and our family was top-notch. He was prompt for the meet and greet meeting, he messaged ahead on the day of the booking to see if there was anything that needed changed. He went above and beyond with watching our dog: taking her for a walk and playtime in the backyard. He texted us photos and even a concern about a skin blemish with our dog. He cleaned up very well after himself, even laundering our guest bedroom bedding. We recommend his services to anyone who has need. And we will definitely be booking him again.”

8. Caitlyn S.
About: I have 2 miniature Weiner dogs at home and I'm very intentive to their care and fragile backs! I believe dogs should be treated like us! Loved and cared for! Yes! I work sometimes at legacy and come home to my two dogs and start my daily routine with them right when I get home! I take my dogs for a walk in the morning when I get up and as well as before bedtime so they get their potty time.
9. Donald N.
“Don, and I, have done well over twenty, 5 star, house sits with Trusted House Sitters for over two years. He/we have a 5 star rating from all pet sits and would gladly direct you to our reviews for you to read. Don is so good with all ages, and breeds, of dogs. He has sat every type from dachshund, to pit bull, to great pyranese. He is also very good with all types of hobby farm animals. He just finished a sit with two senior dogs, with medial wound bandage changing involved, and is so kind and gentle with the senior dogs. Every sit we do have multiple photos of the dogs lying all over him whenever he sits down. Your dog, of any kind, will not be disappointed to spend time with him.”
10. leah p.
“Leah was amazing with my dog/house sitting. She sent me pictures to keep me updated and left me home and my fur baby just as I left them. I’m grateful to have someone to trust my home and pet to while I’m away.”
11. Eva L.
“Kathy is the ultimate dog lover. She takes great care of dogs and provides peace of mind to the owners. She will go above and beyond and do all that the owner requests. She's adept at providing medication if needed and any special food or treats. She handles any dogs in her care as if they are her own. She's also very reliable and trustworthy.”
12. Amanda C.
“She was great with our dogs! She sent pictures to me and was available when I texted her. Was very pleased!”
13. Rachel and Mark B.
“Rachel did a fantastic job with our three dogs while we were gone. She came for a meet and greet a week before we left. We have one dog that just doesn’t like anyone outside the family and he fell in love with Rachel. She is very knowledgeable and has experience sitting dogs. She stayed in our downstairs apartment and left it spotless. The dogs were thoroughly spoiled with 24/7 attention and numerous trips outside to play in our fenced in yard. We received pictures every day and Rachel even sent pictures of the damage to our beach that was caused by a flood. I highly recommend Rachel as a pet sitter to stay in your home or do drop by visits.”
14. Katirna J.
“Katrina was wonderful. She was very nice and Alvie took to her right away so I had no anxiety about leaving him. I would definitely recommend Katrina to anyone looking for a dog sitter and we would absolutely use her again.”
15. Lily R.
“Lily loves all animals. Growing up she has had everything from hermit crabs to dogs and cats. Lily always takes the time to research how to best take care of the animals she wants before she gets them. She gets the best food, supplies and toys to make sure they are properly taken care of. She has lots of experience with all sorts of animals. She has had reptiles, small animals like hamsters and guinea pigs. She has had 3 chinchillas for many years. Lily is not only great with animals, she is great with kids. She has the patience to entertain and play with kids and has had years of experience watching other people's children. I only say this because she is amazing with animals and kids and has lots of patience. She pays lots of attention to her animals and will be great with other people's furry family. She has also had experience watching pets over the last year.”
16. Robert S.
“Robert is a conscientious young man and truly loves animals. He has cared for both dogs and cats. He is trustworthy and is an excellent sitter.”
17. Ruby G.
About: I enjoy dogs. I have had boxers, pit bulls, beagles, and a Belgian Malinois. Can help with basic commands. I also help a close friend with her dogs. I am currently staying at home and plan to start an animal behavior program soon. Learning more about dogs and their behaviors is interesting to me! I don’t have a fenced yard but I don’t allow my dog outside unsupervised. For walks, we always go on lease. My driveway is long and my pup loves to walk and run!

19. Cay-lea D.
About: I've been taking care of dogs, cats, livestock, and small animals since I was 15, but I've been a pet owner since I was 6. I have experience walking, feeding, bathing, and caring for animals of all kinds. I'm currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets. I am available all day on weekends, and anytime from 5:30 pm - 12:30 pm on weekdays. I have a fenced yard, but while I'm at your home, I am a firm believer in leashes. You can trust that I will care for your furbabies as if they were my own.
20. Cynthia W.
“Cynthia is awesome! I unexpectedly added two cats to the mix that had to be kept in a bedroom and she was super super sweet about it. My dog Scout is on lots of medication and my other dog Sophie is old, 15 years, and it’s not the easiest thing to take care of. But Cynthia did a great job and my house is spotless!”
