“Crystal was amazing! It was our first time using Rover and Crystal was a perfect match! She not only took great care of Honey but our home too. Honey started new meds a day before we went out of town and Crystal was able to give them to her without any problem. From the pictures we received during her stay, it was clear that Honey was being well taken care of and enjoying Crystal’s company. I highly recommend Crystal!”


7. Pam C.

“Pam is just the greatest. She took awesome care of our home (9 acres, pool, etc.) and pups (2 large malamutes) while we were out of the country for two weeks. Normal household issues occurred and she promptly notified us and handled them. She coordinated with contractors. She went the extra mile with our pups and with us, leaving the house very clean and with a few romantic gifts from my boyfriend for my birthday. We could not recommend her more highly and were thrilled to have such a trustworthy and detail-oriented person in charge.”

She kept us updated the whole time on how he was and sent photos and pictures to us. She even filmed our pup opening his Christmas gift since we were away for the holiday. Went we came back our house was just as we left it and clean. She even put our recycling and trash at the curb for us. She also left a note and cute little chalkboard for when we got home. We will definitely be using her again!”

“Miss Joanna was wonderful with our pets. After some bad experiences with major boarding companies, she was able to provide us with the peace of mind we really needed for our fur babies. Knowing they were safe allowed us to relax during our time away. She followed the medicine schedule and checked in with us when we were missing the rascals. Bandit, Batman, and Lil Girl can't wait to book with her again!”


16. Bradley T.
“If you get the opportunity to utilize Brad in caring for your pups, you will find he has a genuine love for animals throughout caring for your pets. My dogs have been in Brad's care prior and it was evident that they had formed a bond instantly. He is clearly passionate about animals, and it was evident from the moment he met my dogs that he genuinely cared about their well-being. I have a young pup with anxiety who is so terrified of new people, but he clings to Brad closely, showing he knows he is a genuinely good soul. Anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate dog sitter has found your match in Brad. He is a genuinely wonderful person with a heart of gold and will love your pets like his own.”


17. Anna D.

“I was really worried about leaving my dogs with a stranger again. My last rover sitter basically abandoned my dogs and left them crated for 20 hours a day. I was really nervous that they were not going to be treated well, especially when Anna was our 5th meet and greet. Many people made me seem like my dogs were an issue. Anna made me trust rover again. My dogs had the best time with Anna and she kept me well informed of their visit. I got lots of great pictures of my dogs during her visit and I came home to really happy dogs. I would recommend Anna to anyone who needs a sitter especially if you have big dogs like mine. Thank you Anna! Halo and Hercules can’t want to see you again!”


18. Arianna V.

“Ariwas concientious, prompt and thoughtful. Ari connected with my baby immediately and took super care of her, even giving her lots of meds. Not even sure my Doggo missed me! ? We will definitely ask for Ari and her expertise again!”


19. Ashley T.


“Ashley stayed with our pack of floofs for two weeks while my husband and I were out of the country. She treated our pets like her own and took wonderful care of our home. We received regular updates and photos and felt very at ease knowing all was taken care of. Highly recommend contacted Ashley, whether for check-ins on your animals, or full on house and pet sitting needs.”


20. Jessica K.

“Jessica was outstanding! She took great care of our girl and was excellent with communication! She left our home exactly as we left it and we were so appreciative of her stepping in last minute! We would 100% use Jessica again. Thank you so much again!”
