“This was our first experience using Renee for dogsitting. We had an outstanding experience with Renee watching our 2 small poodles. She maintained excellent communication, including updates and photos. The dogs were happy and well taken care of, including multiple walks a day and play times. She left the house in beautiful condition. After a long trip away, almost 3 weeks, it was such a fabulous way to come home to a clean house and happy pups. We will definitely be booking Renee for future trips.”

16. Elizabeth W.

“This is the first time we booked a House Sitting through Rover so we were a little nervous entrusting our two dogs and home to someone's care. From the time we met Elizabeth (Betsy), she alleviated our concerns. She is a gentle, kind and compassionate soul who immediately built rapport with us and our two beloved dogs. While we were away, Betsy, continually provided updates, including videos and pictures of our dogs. Betsy provided a caring and nurturing environment for our dogs, as well as took great care and respect of our home. I HIGHLY recommend Betsy to anyone who is considering a dog sitter. We will utilize Betsy for all of our dog care needs. She is the ultimate professional!”


17. Jessemy S.
“Jesse did a great job taking care of my dog and cat while we were away. He spent a good amount of time with my animals throughout the day and made sure to send timely updates. My cat was experiencing a health issue and required extra care during our time away and Jesse was very attentive and understanding. We felt very safe leaving our animals in his care. My animals all really enjoyed their time with him.”


18. Hannah W.
“Hannah is excellent and my dog loves her! My dog is vocal with excitement and does a happy dance when Hannah arrives. It is very sweet. Hannah appropriately balances showing love while ensuring my dog behaves and follows the rules. She pays great attention to detail and I trust her completely!”


19. Tracy M.

“We recently took our first international trip for an extended duration since bringing Bentley, our beloved dog, into our lives. Naturally, we were both excited and anxious about leaving him behind, but thanks to Tracy, our amazing dog caretaker, our worries were quickly put to rest. From day one, Tracy went above and beyond in providing us with daily updates, including videos, pictures, and detailed messages about how Bentley was adjusting. It was such a relief to see him happy, healthy, and thriving in the comfort of his own home while we were so far away. We truly appreciated the constant reassurance and the thoughtfulness behind each message — Tracy made sure to keep us in the loop, which made a world of difference in easing our minds during the trip. What stood out the most was Tracy's genuine compassion and kindness. It was clear she not only cared about Bentley’s well-being but also understood how important he is to us. She gave Bentley the attention he needed, along with long daily walks, which is something he absolutely loves. The fact that he could stay in his familiar environment while receiving all the care and attention he deserves made the separation much easier for us. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and Bentley clearly thrived under Tracy’s care. It’s rare to find someone who combines professionalism with such a genuine love for animals. If you’re looking for a dependable, compassionate dog caretaker who truly cares about your pet, we highly recommend Tracy. We came home to a happy, well-adjusted Bentley, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Bob & Serene”
