“Darby took great care of our dog and sent frequent updates per my request. It was such a relief to know that my sweet girl was in such capable hands.”


2. Sarah W.

“Sarah is great! She was communicative and took great care of my dog. I got daily updates and photos of them playing, lounging and snuggling. Knowing my dog was safe and being cared for while I was away was great peace of mind.”


3. Cassandra & Jason K.


“Cassandra and Jason were AMAZING - the best Rover care we have ever experienced. We booked them for an extended stay on short notice when our initial plans changed. They were so communicative and always sent prompt updates & photos. They took Junie on numerous walks and were always asking about her routine to maintain consistency. We feel so fortunate to have found Cassandra and Jason, and I would recommend them to anyone that wants the best care for their pets. We’ll be sending Junie their way for all future stays!”


4. Anna G.


“Anna was absolutely amazing with our two cats Fig & Roux. She was knowledgeable about having as stress free transition as possible for our cats, provided great updates and photos throughout their stay, and overall provided an extremely high level of comfort for us while we were away. Highly recommend her and has a repeat customer in us!”

“Patricia’s care for Pippi was outstanding!! Her home was like doggy heaven where Pippi can sunbathe in a big yard, and nap in many cozy spots.

“This was my first time leaving my pup with a sitter and let me just say, she was well cared for and my expectations were exceeded by how much i was updated and how much care and love for my pup was shown!!?? Definitely using this sitter again, would recommend for anyone with high anxiety pups!!!”


10. Brennan K.

“I boarded my cat Hank the Girl Cat with Brennan for a few days and it couldn’t have gone better! Brennan was flexible and communicative and based on the pictures of Hank snuggling on her lap I’d say she enjoyed it as well. I’ll definitely be reaching out to Brennan again.”

14. Christy B.


“Christy was absolutely amazing with Boo! She sent me updates every day and handled my overly anxious Kitty perfectly. I had to send Boo to her with some anxiety meds and she was amazingly able to get her to take them! Very impressed with Chrissy and cannot recommend her enough to take care of your kitty! I never leave my cat with anyone but I left Boo with Christy at her place for 4 days and she did so good! Thank you Christy!!”


15. Camryn C.

“Camryn was beyond understanding and accommodating for Henry, especially his anxiety around other dogs, and the pictures/updates were amazing. Would definitely recommend :)”


16. Chris N.


“Chris was amazing, we couldn’t have asked for a better person to leave our pups with. Our dogs can be quite shy and anxious in new situations, but Chris was the guy to take all their fears away, when we went to pick our dogs up they even ran back to him to say goodbye. Chris was very easy to contact, I feel like no matter when I messaged him he was quick to reply. He was also incredibly flexible with our weird pick up and drop off times. Without a question we will be going to Chris next time!”


17. Nataliia H.


“Very sweet to my two kitties. They seemed well adjusted and calm in Natalia's home! She gave lots of updates and followed my instructions well. :) I received many cute pics! Wonderful, I would definitely recommend!”


18. Temitope O.

“Temi was great at watching Simba on short notice. She sent pictures and was responsive for drop off and pick up. Would definitely use her again to watch my dog.”


19. Zoe M.

“Zoe and her family were great with my Andie during her stay! Communication was great, and Andie definitely enjoyed the huge backyard to run around in. Will definitely look for Zoe when I am looking in the future!”


20. Alice H.


“Alice was able to accommodate my urgent request after another sitter canceled on me last minute. She was very flexible and communicative providing regular updates along with pictures. She did an amazing job caring for Macaroni and I will be using her for any future requests. I highly recommend Alice to care for your pet!”
