1. Josaphine T.
“Josaphine was a fantastic dogsitter for our anxious, sensitive pitbull. She stayed with Lola during 4th of July week, which can be a lot for anxious dogs. We were so grateful to have Josaphine caring for Lola during this time. She also sent nightly updates and left our house neat and tidy. We will definitely use her again for future trips!”
2. Garrett L.
“Garrett was the absolute best! He was on time, friendly, kept me updated and my dogs had a blast. 10/10 will definitely be using Garrett again”
3. Paolo M.
“This was an amazing experience! Paolo is a great guy, very reliable, responsible, pleasant to be around, and skillful with dogs. He took care of our house, 80 lbs dog and outdoor cats for two weeks and we couldn't be happier. Warmly recommended.”
4. Loren D.
“Loren is THE best! We’ve used her multiple times and our dog is so well taken care of. She loves the outdoors and she’s so personable, respectful and responsible. Thanks again Loren!”
5. Malia C.
“Malia was wonderful with my pets! I was so happy to come home to happy, relaxed animals. It’s clear that Malia has a genuine love for pets. My two chihuahuas and cat seemed to really warm up to her. She's clearly responsible and caring, and I felt completely at ease leaving my little critters in her hands.”
6. Ally B.
“Ally was amazing. She watched our large dog over the weekend and took care of our apartment. She kept him busy with daily runs and walks and kept our apartment super clean. We already rebooked her for our next trip.”
7. Micah A.
“I have known Micah for the past 8 years and she has always been an exceptional pet caregiver with my pets. She always pays attention to detail in meeting their daily needs ensures that they are always well-cared for and happy. Micah's dedication shines through in every aspect as a loving pet caregiver. It's evident that the care she provides is driven by her love for animals, giving complete peace of mind knowing my pets are in a safe place.”
8. Bryan C.
“We are so grateful that Bryan was available pretty last minute to watch our 2 dogs and Guinea pig. He was super friendly from the moment we met him and we could tell that our dogs liked him immediately too (and we all know dogs are great judges of character). He made sure to follow the instructions we gave him via a Google Doc and sent PLENTY of update pictures. Bryan kept Cherry and Waffle super busy going on lots of walks and trips to the dog park so I don’t think they even missed us while we were gone! We will definitely try booking with him again in the future!”
9. Caroline A.
“Caroline bonded with Tim instantly, diverted him while I was leaving, sent me very cute photos and handled a leaky refrigerator. She did an all around excellent job.”
10. Casey C.
“This was our first time using Rover and we were so happy by choosing Casey. He immediately wanted to schedule a "meet and greet" at the house so the dogs can be comfortable. Soon after, we left for our wedding and our babies were in his hands. We were worried at first, but Casey reassured us instantly with photos of the doggies loving life. He always checked in with us, and sent us photos. We had such a great experience with him and Rover. I recommend Casey for any dog child owner in the area. His knowledge, attitude, and comfortability is reassuring :D Thank you so much! -The Rileys”
11. Rodrigo G.
“Rodrigo is a godsend. I contacted Rodrigo in tears because my friend who agreed to dog sit told me hours before my flight that he didn't have auto insurance and he couldn't make it. He lives two hours away. Rodrigo responded to my request almost immediately and agreed to do a meet and greet with me and my dog that evening to calm us. He always responded promptly to my texts while I was away and he frequently sent me pics of my boy. He even gave my pet ice water to keep him cool and bought him a burger, per my request, to get him to eat. He is an anxious dog. And Rodrigo even stayed late with my dog when my flight got delayed due to engine trouble. I arrived 7 hours later than expected. When I arrived home my dog was calm and happy. I don't know what I would have done without Rodrigo. He went above and beyond to care for my pet. I am eternally grateful and will hire him on a regular basis for pet visits. Thank you Rodrigo!”
12. Trin L.
“Trin is amazing! Trust her completely in our home and with our dog. When we get home our dog always looks very comfortable and happy. She goes above & beyond to make sure he has a full belly, empty bladder, and is happy :)”
13. Caroline B.
“Caroline was great with our senior dachshund. She stayed with him for a weekend at our place and kept us updated on how he was doing. She was kind, thoughtful, and responsible. We will hire her again the next time we go out of town!”
14. Maria B.
“Maria provided exceptional service for my dog, Thor, and cat, Alfie! I would recommend Maria to anyone looking for a dependable, caring and knowledgeable person to care for their pets. Maria sent me daily summaries, pictures and videos so my mind could be at ease while away. I highly recommend Maria.”
15. Alexandra M.
“Alexandra was kind to our home and pups during her house sitting stay. Fantastic communication and I came home to an orderly home and happy, calm pups. Highly recommended! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
16. India B.
“India came to stay for one night with our rambunctious big puppy and did a great job. It was our first time leaving him overnight, but she took good care of him and the house… and she sent pics along the way. I’d hire her again! Thanks India!”
17. Cecilia P.
“Cecelia was fantastic! She sent pictures throughout the stay and left my home exactly as she found it. She was also great with Otto! He was happy and content when I arrived home. 🙏”
18. XInzhi Z.
“Xinzhi was perfect!! Everything from her communication daily to the pictures I receive throughout the day. Leo seemed happy during his hole stay! I highly recommend her and will be using her again soon! ?”
19. Alicia B.
“Alicia has been one of my best pet sitters. I have large an small dogs that’s she has cared for, they can all be stubborn at times and energetic. She’s handled all of them with such care and has done a great job taking care of all their needs. She’s always made sure they’re safe a comfortable. Would highly recommend her for any pet sitting job.”
20. Meghana N.
“Meghana and her fiancé, Philip, provided exceptional care for our beloved dog, Stevie Nicks. Meghana meticulously followed all instructions, including administering Stevie's daily medication without any hassle. Their responsiveness and attentiveness put my mind at ease, allowing me to comfortably entrust them with Stevie overnight. Despite unfavorable weather conditions, they went above and beyond by taking Stevie on multiple walks and engaging her in playful activities in the backyard. I am thrilled to have discovered such wonderful caregivers for Stevie and look forward to entrusting them with her care again in the future!”
