“Cynthia did such a great job watching my dog while I was away for a few hours! She was super flexible with how long she watched him, kept me updated with pictures, and had great communication throughout. It gave me such peace of mind knowing he was in good hands and being treated like her own. I highly recommend Cynthia and would definitely have her watch my dog again! :)”

“Nashi was phenomenal! One of our pups wasn’t feeling well right before we left, and it’s always difficult to leave when something like that is going on. Nashi stepped right in and took excellent care, provided updates, and calmed my worried mind. We absolutely recommend Nashi and will be requesting her care again in the future for our pups, too.”


“Leaving our pets behind is never easy, but Diego made the entire experience stress-free. He treated our pet like family and gave them so much love and attention. He even brought them to the park and had a play date with some other friendly dogs! Coming home to relaxed pet and a clean house meant everything to us.”


“Alisha was great. Cooperative, communication on point, punctual, followed instructions, sent me pictures. I definitely recommend her and would take her help next time.”

“Lisa has the sweetest soul, and my dogs just naturally gravitate towards her. I left for 3 days and did not worry once because of how detailed and thorough Lisa was with all of her updates, including pictures and videos of the doggos. They were in great hands and were so happy to go on long walks multiple times a day. One of my dogs even needed to be hand-fed because she is a princess like that, and Lisa hand-fed her food like a champ! The other dog has stomach and joint issues so is on a very strict (and complicated) diet, but Lisa followed all instructions to the T, and I am just so thankful for her. Thank you for being the best dog sitter a girl can ask for, Lisa!”

“Lanis took excellent care of my pup… updated me every day… sent pics and videos… he was very happy, which makes me happy… We live in an apartment and she walked him on his regular schedule, worked with the front desk people well -‘and all around did an excellent job taking care of him…”

“Samantha did an incredible job house sitting my two labs! I can tell they were very well cared for and I would highly recommend! Would love to use Samantha again in the future!”

“Our senior Great Dane had a wonderful time with Dylan! Dylan took great care of him and the house and made sure we had updates to let ease our worries about your sweet boy. Thanks Dylan!! We will use Dylan again!”

“Clover was amazing with my two lab puppies! Taking one two puppy’s for a weekend can be a challenge. Clover checked in with me throughout the stay. Kept the puppies on their schedule. Sent the most adorable pictures! I highly recommend Clover to watch your fur babies. Thank you so much!”

“Briana was amazing! From the day we met prior to her babysitting Ivy, I instantly knew she was kind. I immediately felt comfortable and my worries left my body. She was super attentive, so sweet to my baby, and kept me updated every day. I truly appreciated how safe I felt leaving my baby. I would 100000000% recommend her to anyone. Ivy will definitely be seeing her again in the future :)”

“Raylon is a wonderful sitter! He has stayed with my pup multiple times over the past year and Bagel is always happy when I get home. He takes him on walks and sends pictures and updates!”

“Hunter is great! We booked him for the first time and have nothing but good things to say. Hunter communicates very well, is great with our animals, and was quick to get our dog medical help when he had an issue during our trip. Thanks Hunter!”

“Michelle is awesome. Amazing. The absolute best. She communicated very well and went above and beyond what a pet/house sitter should have to do. She was so accommodating and treated my babies like they were her own. I couldn’t have hoped for better.”

“Mario was so sweet to my fur babies while I was on vacation. He went above and beyond what was expected of him and I was impressed by the amount of extra time he spent with them. I was very grateful to receive updates throughout the day giving me that extra reassurance that they were being well taken care of. As a matter of fact it’s been almost 2 weeks and my girls still look for him to show up! 🤣 I would definitely recommend him for all your pet needs!”

“Shawndreal recently house sat for my old, 13 year old dog. She did an amazing job! I needed a last minute house sitter, and Shawndreal exceeded my expectations. She met with my dog and me beforehand, and asked great questions, and I could tell she genuinely cared for my dog's well being. She took great care of my dog while I was away, and followed all of the supplement and medicine guidelines and even sent updates when they were completed. She took my dog on his required walks and sent pictures and updates. Shawndreal left the house just the way I left it, spotless. When I got home, my dog didn't leave her side, I felt a little jealous LOL. She was a great house sitter, and I'm truly thankful for her efforts. Will definitely use again.”

We hired Dylan for an 11 day stay. We were nervous leaving our dog for so long but we are so glad we were able to book Dylan to stay in our home. We were constantly updated. Dylan let us know when our dog was having digestive issues and went above and beyond in tweaking fridays diet to help. We came home to a spotless home, we have no problem with our home being a little messy as long as our dog is safe. Dylan wouldn’t hear of it. Every inch of our home had been deep cleaned and all the towels and sheets were washed. He also had to deal with a leaky roof which none of us foresaw and handled it with such calm and flexibility. If you are going on a long trip, do not hesitate to leave your pets with him!

Karla came by for a meet and greet after I booked her last minute, and my dogs immediately ran to her! She showed them so much love and made them feel comfortable right away. She took the time to listen to everything I shared about their routines and needs, was very flexible, and sent photos throughout her stay. I felt completely comfortable knowing my dogs were in such good hands. We will definitely be booking with Karla again! 🐾💕

Gloria was awesome with my dogs. So attentive and alerted me to anything I needed to know while loving on them like they were her own. She was also so caring for my home while she stayed to watch them which was so unexpected but highly appreciated. I would absolutely use her again!

My pup is maybe just a touch (!!) too attached to me and went into separation anxiety mode the minute I left. Refused to go on walks, or even leave the yard. Kelsey handled it really well, trying everything she could think of to make my dog more comfortable. Rides in her car turned out to be the fix, along with just sitting on the grass with her stuffie, watching life go by. Kelsey sent lots of pics and messages which were much appreciated. I prepare my dog's meals and the sent photos showed that Kelsey made 'em just like I do. And my house looked the same as when I left. All in all a great Rover experience.

I am the first to admit Enzo is a handful and will keep you busy. I booked Michelle last month for a week long trip, and then just did a one night work trip - both times she was nothing less than amazing. She communicates well, shares lot’s of photos, and is so sweet and patient with my boy, and based on the pictures I can tell he’s obsessed with her!

Avy was absolutely wonderful! Lyla is a big baby and definitely likes things her way, and Avy was patient and sweet with her, happily accommodating all her little quirks. From the start, it was clear Lyla was comfortable and well cared for. Avy was professional, pleasant, and dependable, and she sent regular updates that gave me peace of mind and let me relax while I was away. I also came home to a clean, well-cared-for house, which was a wonderful bonus. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I would absolutely trust Avy with Lyla and my home again, and I know Lyla can’t wait to see her! Highly recommend!
I cannot recommend Rory enough. She was the best house guest and Poppy’s best friend the entire time she sat for us. I felt so confident leaving Poppy in her care, and she shared multiple updates and photos daily. She cared for our home as if it was her own, even offering to take out the trash, unloaded our dishwasher, washed and refilled the bath towels, and prepped Poppy’s belongings together for our friends that planned to watch her next during our time away. Her professionalism and passion for animals is unmatched and I will be booking her many times more in the future!
