Jessica is great! Our pup has separation anxiety and she goes above and beyond to make him happy while we are away. We will definitely be asking her to watch him again and I highly recommend her services.

Nancy went above and beyond caring for our boy and home while we were away! Additionally, we appreciated her responsive communication and the extra time she took for two meet and greets. We highly recommend her services.

Jessica took great care of Lexi. She also went above what u expected of her by vacuuming dog hair up and washing bedding and putting clean sheets on my bed. Upon returning home after a long day in airports and not arriving until midnight; it was great not needing to change sheets. I will definitely call on Jessuca again when I need a pup sitter. She was great.

Rose was a fantastic in-home petsitter for our cat Cece for just over a week! She was punctual for our first meeting and super-responsive to all communications, and she asked all of the right questions about our home and Cece’s routine. She sent us lots of photos and videos and made us feel completely comfortable with the care she was providing. Our cat was a recent rescue and we wanted to be sure she would get lots of love and attention, and Rose went above and beyond. We’ve already booked another visit for Rose and Cece. We can’t recommend her highly enough!

Sidney did such a great job with Willy! We were a bit nervous since we had never left him with a sitter before but she was phenomenal! She was able to make sure my pup was comfortable! She sent us detailed updates and photos throughout her stay as well! She was even able to accomodate a last minute adjustment to our schedule due to a flight delay! We would 100% recommend her to anyone who needs pet sitting!

Allison did a great job house sitting and taking care of Dax at the last minute! She sent lots of updates and photos. The house was very clean too! My only issue was the $20 meet n greet fee which I thought would be deducted from the booking once confirmed. Even though her bio says, “to be modified in the final price once a booking is confirmed” I still thought it meant she would take it off the price upon booking, but she adds it no matter whether you book or not. I’ve used Rover for almost 2 years and never had to pay someone to meet. I also pay fees when booking Rover too…. So it’s part of the program. I, too, lose out on my time if someone meets Dax and decides he’s too big or not a good fit for them. I don’t get paid for my time going to job interviews or when I’ve interviewed babysitters…. So just something to consider.

Ella did a great job looking after our Charlie for our week long vacation. Ella stayed evenings and overnight with him as he is a nervous dog. Ella also had him feeling comfortable and had him playing right away. Ella did a great job taking care our our property as well, cleaned up after themselves and made sure to keep us informed about Charlie the whole week. A+++ highly recommend!
