6. Stacey K.

“Our puppy took to Stacey right away. Our pets have special diet and medication required. Stacey took down notes and asked questions as needed while we were away. Everyone was happy when we got home! Will definitely ask Stacey to come again.”


7. Maureen G.

“Maureen did a wonderful job of connecting with Speedy and taking care of him. Although he tends to be shy, he was affectionate and comfortable with her from the start. We loved hearing frequently from Maureen and seeing the daily pictures that she sent, which reassured us that Speedy was a happy kitty with her. She also took great care of our plants and home. Her warm and positive personality make her a joy to deal with. We will certainly want her to take care of Speedy during our future trips. Thank you, Maureen!!!”

9. Concetta F.

“I contacted Concetta REALLY last minute- I mean the day I needed a dog sitter, and she responded immediately and she was able to do it. She communicated really well with me while she stayed the night with my dogs and she was with them for longer than any other sitters stayed with them, usually my sitters left first thing when they woke up but Concetta hung out with them for a bit! She’ll be my new go to sitter!”


10. Kaylee C.
“I’ve had the chance to work with Blair, and I can say without a doubt she’d be great as a pet walker or sitter. With her background as a dog trainer and kennel attendant, she knows how to handle all kinds of dogs and understands their behavior really well. Whether it's taking them on a walk or just hanging out at home, she’s reliable and always makes sure pets are well taken care of. I trust her completely with my own pets, and I know she’ll do a great job looking after yours too!”


11. Jacques-Louis d.
“Jacques is wonderful with our 90# yellow lab and equally as wonderful with us! He has become our dog’s best friend and is an important part of our family. Jacques is very careful, kind and attentive to our dog. He makes sure that our dog is safe, gets plenty of exercise, and has a good time! We appreciate knowing that our dog is in good hands. We also appreciate that Jacques communicates clearly & timely with us. He is patient with our overprotectiveness and he is very fun for dogs & humans to be around.”


12. Carissa S.


“Carissa was fantastic! I had a change of plans at the last minute and she rolled with it with grace and kindness. She went over and above all of my expectations and sent lots of pictures of my dogs enjoying themselves - she was also honest that one of them really missed me and sat by the gate waiting for me; I extra appreciate that because it would have been really easy (and probably more comfortable) to just fluff over that. She even sent pictures when she gave the time-sensitive meds to one of my dogs. VERY responsible, played with them outside a lot, snuggled with them on the couch. Even put my sheep in their pen at night! ? She even left super sweet gift bags with report cards for each of them (just the dogs, not the sheep lol) ! I highly recommend her and as a dog professional of 45 years I can be hard to please.”


13. De Vonne S.

“This was the very first time leaving my girls with someone other than family. De Vonne was great. She sent me pictures of the girls and took good care of them. I have already booked her for the end of September to watch them again. Thank you De Vonne so much!”


14. Wendy M.

“My family highly recommends Wendy as trusting pet sitter She took care of Frank for a week. She checked in daily with videos, pictures and loving comments. She put us at ease. We came home to a loving and happy boy She has such a gift with animals I am so thankful we found her”




15. Alfredo S.
“To Whom It May Concern, I am pleased to recommend Alfredo Salas for a position in animal care. Alfredo has a natural gift for working with animals, demonstrating deep compassion, attentiveness, and a strong understanding of their needs. His experience extends beyond just pet ownership—having grown up caring for horses and currently working in a facility that provides medical care for animals, he has developed extensive knowledge about pet health and well-being. Alfredo is incredibly reliable and knowledgeable, and I have personally trusted him for advice regarding my own dogs. His dedication and hands-on experience make him an excellent candidate for any role involving the care and well-being of animals. I am confident that he will be a valuable asset to your team. Sincerely, Ariana Heredia”


16. Morgan T.
“I had the pleasure of entrusting Morgan with the care of my beloved pets. Her responsible and loving approach made them the perfect caregiver. Highly recommended!”




17. George J.

“George is everything you want in a dog/house sitter: capable, dependable, thoughtful, and communicative. By asking all the right questions about temperament, feeding, our home in general, etc., George made us feel very comfortable leaving our babies with a sitter for the first time in nearly two years. George stayed with our two large dogs overnight, one of whom is a recent adoption, so duties included feeding, administering meds to both dogs, regular potty breaks, as well as making sure the dogs remained friendly with each other. One of our dogs can be stubborn when it comes to meds and mealtime, and yet George handled it all without any problems whatsoever. We received regular updates with photos, and we returned to happy dogs and a home that was possibly cleaner than we left it! We highly recommend George, and we've already booked another weekend away!”


18. David T.

“This was the first time we ever had someone come to the house to watch the dogs. David was great, sent videos, took care of the house, made sure my pups were taken care of. I would recommend David to anyone who is looking for an honest person to watch their pets. Thanks David!”


19. Clare L.

“Clare was so great with our two golden retrievers over the holidays. She took them on many walks and worked with them a lot on training even too! It was our first time using Rover, but Clare made the experience for us great. We will definitely book with her again!”
