“My shy, nervous pup loved Eve!! She was very patient with him and demonstrated a lot of expertise in reading dog body language. We will definitely be booking with Eve in the future!”
“Vinnie was once again a great pet/house sitter while we were on a recent vacation. He provided daily updates and pictures and made sure our dogs were comfy and happy even though it was raining most of the week. Thanks, Vinnie!”
“Clara was a joy to have in my home. She clearly loves animals and was always very prompt and communicated very clearly, sent me sweet pictures of my loveable, albeit large, german shepherd. She is great and would highly recommend her!”
“We had a great experience with Rosemary! She came early so the dogs could warm up to her, which we really appreciated. She took amazing care of them while we were away and sent tons of pictures and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear our dogs were comfortable and well loved. Highly recommend!”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care Claire provided for our two dogs while we were out of town! She was responsive and kept us updated with messages and plenty of pictures, which helped put our minds at ease. It was clear she genuinely enjoyed spending time with our dogs and they loved having her around! She followed the care instructions we left, made sure our dogs were well cared for, and even tidied up before leaving. Knowing our dogs were in such great hands allowed us to fully enjoy our trip. We’re so grateful for her kindness, communication, and reliability — we would absolutely book her again in the future!”
“Kristen did a wonderful job with 2 dogs and a cat! They were well-cared for, she was communicative, and she left the house in great shape. Would definitely book her again.”
“Jake was the perfect house and dog sitter: he fed and walked the dogs as requested, he slept in the same room as we had asked and gave our older dog her medicines. He looked after our house and left it in exactly the same condition he found it. He sent plenty of photos and updates. We would definitely ask for Jake again.”
“Alexa did an amazing job house sitting and caring for my cat! She was incredibly professional, took the time to understand my cat’s unique preferences, and made sure he felt comfortable and happy while I was away. The house was spotless when I returned, and I felt completely at ease knowing everything was in such capable hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to have her back again!”
“Allegra was amazing!! Probably the best dog sitter we've ever had. Very communicative, flexible, and on top of things (plus my dogs loved her). If you want to have a stress-free time, you should totally hire Allegra to watch your pets. I know that if I ever need a sitter in the future, she is going to be who I go to first.”
“It was our first time doing Rover and wasn't sure what to expect, but once we met Skylar we knew our senior pup was in great hands. We received updates throughout the weekend, and we got back to an immaculate house as well as a happy and relaxed girl. We would definitely recommend him to others. Thank you!”
“Alina was an amazing house sitter! She took such great care of our dog, Bogey, and kept us updated the whole time. We came home to a happy pup and a spotless house. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”
“Sophie is, without a doubt, the best pet sitter I’ve ever had. From the very beginning, she was incredibly responsive, kind, and professional. She took the time to learn all of my cat’s routines, preferences, and medical needs, asking thoughtful questions and making sure she had every detail down to a science before I left. I was so impressed with how thorough she was, nothing was too small or insignificant to her when it came to ensuring my cat felt comfortable and cared for. Each day, Sophie sent detailed updates along with a stream of photos and videos that showed just how relaxed and happy my cat was in her care. She captured the sweetest moments, from my cat rolling over for belly rubs to curling up in Sophie’s lap for naps each evening. It was so comforting to see my cat not only adjusting but truly thriving while I was away. One of the things that meant the most to me was Sophie’s ability to administer my cat’s medication with ease and confidence. My cat can be finicky and shy with new people, especially when she’s not feeling well, but Sophie’s gentle approach and calming presence made all the difference. You could see the trust and affection develop quickly between them, which speaks volumes about Sophie’s connection with animals. Sophie goes above and beyond in every way. Her attention to detail, her warmth, and her obvious love for animals make her truly exceptional. It’s rare to find someone who treats your pet as if they were her own, and I feel so lucky to have found her. If you’re looking for someone who is reliable, compassionate, and absolutely dedicated to giving your pet the best care possible, Sophie is the one.”
“McKenna is a wonderful dog sitter. She was attentive, caring, and communicative the whole time I was away from home. I received many pictures of my dog, and I could easily tell he was enjoying the time he spent with McKenna. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet or home sitter.”
“I can’t have asked for a better, loving, kind person to look after my fur babies. Allison was fantastic and highly recommend as your fur babies will be in the best care.”

Meesii is not only always lovely to work with but also responsive, flexible and dedicated! She targets the specific needs of our senior dog while ensuring our home is safe and well-kept while we're away! She even brought our recycling cans into our garage after collection! So grateful to Meesii for her continued care for Ricky! She's a superstar!
Neely and Sebastian are super responsive and took great care of our pets! They made sure Bauer had plenty of potty breaks and followed his schedule as requested. They also left our house just as we had left it which was great to come home to. We would absolutely book them again!

I received many pictures of my dog, and I could easily tell he was enjoying the time he spent with McKenna. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet or home sitter.
My dog Duke had just completed surgery after having a life threatening accident. As Duke was discharged from the hospital, we as a family had to go away for a couple of days. It was an extremely stressful time with Duke being on medication requiring physical therapy and a lot of hands-on care. Libby rose to the challenge and like an angel took care of Duke and nursed him to health while we were away. Duke absolutely thrived under her care and we are so happy to have found her. She put our fears to rest and took care of Duke like her own I would highly recommend Libby.
