I recently hired Kyle as a house and dogsitter, and I couldn't be more impressed with his service. From the moment he stepped into my home, I felt at ease knowing my house and beloved pets were in capable hands. Not only did he maintain the cleanliness and security of my home, but he also went above and beyond in caring for my furry companions. He followed all instructions meticulously, ensuring my pets' routines were maintained and that they received plenty of love and attention. Kyle demonstrated exceptional responsibility and reliability throughout his stay, and I returned to find my house in impeccable condition and my pets happy and healthy. I highly recommend Kyle for anyone in need of a trustworthy and caring house and dogsitter. His professionalism and genuine love for animals truly set him apart.

Alex was great with the dogs and was responsive to our messages. Was very impressed that he came over for a meet and greet and was taking notes and asking questions. Left the home so clean we couldn't even tell someone had been there. Highly recommend

Jordan was great! She communicated well. She was responsible and best of all my Bear loves her! He’s picky with people so the fact that he loves her speaks volumes! I would hire her again without hesitation.

Violet is a fantastic sitter! I have been wanting someone to stay at my home so that my dog and cat aren't separated when I go out of town. I came home to happy pets and a clean house. I almost don't want to leave this review because I want to keep her schedule free for my trips!! Thanks Violet.

Ryan was awesome. He took excellent care of our dogs and cat and was so mindful of the fact that my older dog has some anxiety. When we got home our pups seemed happy and not stressed in the slightest. I would not hesitate to book him again and I appreciate how communicative he was during our time out of town. Thank you Ryan!

Amanda is amazing! She’s stayed with our animals twice now and we’ll keep booking her anytime we’re out of town. The animals have always been so well cared for and our house perfectly clean. She was super flexible when we left town last week amidst the water debacle and had to stay at another location with our animals. She’s very communicative and always sends updates with pictures throughout the day. We can’t recommend her enough.

Steven was amazing! He took such great care of our two cats and our home while away! He sent daily updates and pictures of the cats, which helped us feel even more secure with them in his hands! This was our first time using Rover, and Steven was everything we could have hoped for and more. Would highly recommend Steven to anyone needing a pet and/or home sitter!

Robin is the best! She’s watched our pups several times, but this last time was a long 2 week stay & she went above and beyond! In addition to taking wonderful care of our needy dogs, she also made sure they were bathed before we got home, washed all their bedding and her own, got the mail, took care of the garbage, brought in our packages, watered plants, and picked up all of their poop outside. While we were away the upstairs AC stopped working & she was so gracious and flexible. She handled the situation perfectly and we are so grateful for her understanding. Robin is the real deal- she is so kind and has a great work ethic. We are so thankful for her & anyone would be lucky to have her watch their pets! Thanks again Robin :)

Cat was and is WONDERFUL. She stayed with our dog for 12 days, the longest vacation we have ever taken, and we were admittedly nervous about leaving him for that long. She was thoughtful and communicative leading up to and during her stay, left the house very neat and clean and put us totally at ease. I cannot possibly put into this little box how much we appreciate Cat—other than to say I cannot imagine engaging anyone else in care of my beloved pet. I will miss our text message check-ins and recommend her entirely.

Salis is awesome! My dog Jojo is pretty nervous, and Salis's patience and understanding made Jojo warm up quickly. She came and stayed at our house and was a great guest, giving us many updates on how Jojo was doing. I would ask Salis to watch Jojo again any time.
