1. Jennifer F.

“Jennifer was great! We have 3 dogs and a kitten, she stayed with them while we were at a destination wedding. I received pictures and updates. I would definitely use her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a dog/kitten sitter.”


2. Ariana Y.

“Ariana has been my go to sitter! She is so good with my Lucy and she loves her. Very dependable! She also has helped me out with a few small projects around the house while I’m away. Highly recommend!”


3. Scott A.

“Fantastic! Scott was ann absolute lifesaver and helped me when I was In a crunch. He promptly responded to a last minute request . He toolk such good care of my pup Lily, who has separation anxiety. He walked Lily and made her feel comfortable and at ease. My pup was in great hands with Scott, who is an extremely flexible, reliable sitter. Thank you so much, Scott!!”


4. Charles M.

“Charlie did a wonderful job with my pets. They loved him and acted like they had known him for years! Charlie took notes, sent pictures, and did everything so I had not one concern about my silly golden and talkative cat . The most amazing thing is that he did this on a VERY short notice when I had to go out of town unexpectedly!! He was a true help to me! I would definitely call Charlie again!”


5. Jillian F.

“If you are looking for someone to stay in your home and give lots of love and care for your pet, Jillian is just wonderful and I would highly recommend!! What was unique about Jillian is that she stayed in our home the entire time. She followed all of my instructions, provided daily updates and pictures and when she left, she washed the linens and the home was clean and tidy. She may not be able to provide the fast, active walk with your pet, but she is fully capable to walk and play with your pet. I ended up booking another dog walker separately for a more active walk. This arrangement worked perfectly for me and worth the additional cost, as I would rather have my dog be with a loving sitter in my home where my dog was not left alone than having more dog walks. I will definitely be booking Jillian again! She was a joy to work with and I know she made my dog feel safe and loved. Thank you.”


6. Noemi C.


“Noemi was wonderful and very reliable dog sitter. She took loving care of our girl Willow and our home. We would recommend her and would definitely use her again! Thank you!”


7. Haley P.
“Haley took care of my two dogs and two cats for two weeks while we went out of the country. She went above and beyond. She showed up every time as we agreed and even stayed longer to play with them and keep them company. She sent pictures through the two weeks, and it was great to see that they were safe and comfortable with Haley's care. Haley was very loving and responsible. I would highly recommend Haley to anyone, and we will definitely have her take care of our pets in the future.”


8. Lee K.
“Lee did an AMAZING job with my 2 Brittanys while we were out of state for a family wedding. I received many updates and photos of how the dogs were doing. I will definitely be using Haylee as my go-to for dog sitting. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️”


9. Kimberly W.

“Kimberly went over and above in every way possible on her sit for my pack today. She made a difficult appointment I had today so easy and her kindness touched my heart deeply. I will definitely request Kimberly to sit again”


10. Gwendolyn C.
“Gwen is great with all animals, and is especially capable of handling large dogs or dogs that have behavioral issues. She is calm and firm, and will act as the confident leader any dog needs. Gwen is also the most friendly and cheerful person on the planet, and will become instant friends with both you and your pet! Gwen takes the responsibility of caring for your pets very seriously, and you can be confident they’ll be in excellent hands.”


11. Ke’Vin J.

“Ke'vin was very flexible with scheduling when we had to find someone quickly to leave town for a family emergency. With little notice, he came to our house for a first meeting and then started the next day for a overnight sitting service for five days. Our senior dog is always afraid of new people but Ke'vin sent videos of her and it's clear she warmed up quickly to him and really liked him. He gave her meds with no issue. I'm glad we found Ke'vin on Rover!”


12. Brittany E.

“Brittany was great and we will definitely have her help us out again!”


13. Haylee S.

“Haylee was great with Duke and Zoe. She was communicative and sent pictures and videos. Given that Zoe is older and has a few special needs, she managed our anxiety about leaving her very well. Her experience with large dogs and meds was super helpful and put us at ease.”


14. Dahyron V.


“Dahyron was amazing! We were expecting the birth of our first child but obviously things can happen at any minute late in pregnancy. He was super flexible and accommodating with the time frame. We even hung out with him for a while after the induction was pushed back. Our dogs loved him and he provided great updates during our stay at the hospital. Will book again!”


15. Alex K.

“Alex exceeded all expectations. Alex provided updates and pictures throughout the time we were out of town. He was positive, enthusiastic, and kind. Would highly recommend.”


16. Aimee T.
About: Hello! I'm Aimee, and I've been a pet owner since I was a teenager, taking primary care of our family pets growing up. Today, I'm a pround mama of a 4 yr old Boxer/Pitbull mix who is my pride amd joy! In the past, I've taken care of puppies, adult and senior dogs - specifically, senior dogs who require a lot of attention and patience due to medical issues. Additionally, being a behavioral analyst in my work life has allowed me to expand my training skills, which I have applied to my own pup at home. My schedule can be flexible and different every week. During the week, I'm available mostly in the mornings before 12pm - weekends can be flexible! I prefer to meet dogs with their owners present prior to beginning regular check ins - this will allow your dog to get to know me and become familiar before I introduce myself without their owners nearby.




17. Sam N.

“We are so thankful we found Sam. She came over for a meet and greet. She sent tons of pictures, let us know how the days were going, and our girls were tired and happy from playing. Would highly recommend Sam!”


18. Jenna K.
About: I have had at least one dog in my household since elementary school. Good with all breeds & sizes! Love to go on walks and exceptionally good at cuddles! I work Monday - Friday 8:30 to 5:00. Recently separated and rarely get to see my dog, who is my absolute pride and joy. I have so much love to give and would take amazing care of your furry loved ones! Will provide walks and all the cuddles!! Dogs allowed on furniture if that is ok with you! Smoke free/child free home. Will send photo/video updates if you’d like!


19. kaylinn k.

“Kaylin was great with our dogs and took good care of the house while we were away. She was very patient with the youngest dog who needed a little time to adjust to us not being there. She was communicative and shared sweet pictures throughout the stay. We were very grateful!”


20. Melia B.
“I’ve seen firsthand how loving and responsible Mel is with animals. She cares for our dog Lily as if she were her child—walks, playtime, meals, and endless affection. Watching her with Lily shows just how naturally nurturing and attentive she is. Any pet in her care will be treated like family.”
