Darlene was absolutely amazing. She cared for our 5 cats and stayed at our home for 8 nights. From our first meeting with Darlene we were very comfortable with her. From the first day to the last she stayed in contact with my wife and i throughout the day with pictures and videos. Very professional at what she does. Upon arrival back out home everything was very neat and clean. Oh yeah I forgot, our oldest cat is diabetic and needs shots twice a day. We highly recommend Darlene if you want a stress free experience with a true professional caring person. 5 stars all the way!!!!!!!!

Erika was a wonderful cat and house sitter! Her communication was excellent from the start - she kept me updated with regular messages and photos, so I always knew how my cat Mitten was doing. She was very accommodating and genuinely cared for Mitten, who clearly adores her and was so happy in her care! Seeing Mitten so loved and comfortable while I was away gave me such peace of mind. I highly recommend Erika to anyone looking for caring and reliable pet care.

Scott was wonderful! He did a great job taking care of our pets and home while we were away. He tried multiple methods to give our cat her medicine and was patient and caring throughout. He also made sure our dog got regular walks and plenty of attention. He was respectful, tidy, and left the house very clean. Communication was great and we really appreciated how reliable he was. Highly recommend!

We were on the East Coast and off the grid for much of the week, with home renovations going on at the same time—and one of our dogs is a husky who’d happily take off into the foothills if given the chance. Vince handled everything like a total pro. He’s exactly who you want if leaving your pups stresses you out like it does me. Whatever he’s charging, it’s worth it for the peace of mind.

Shannon went above and beyond taking care of our two dogs and cat while we were away for two weeks. She left our apartment immaculate and we came home to happy, relaxed pets. She sent us pictures and updates and was very responsive. She even figured out our fancy litter box when it jammed. Would highly recommend and would definitely use again!

Michael is so awesome!!!! My fiance and I booked a trip for a concert, and didn't realize our hotel did not allow pets unattended and had decibel alarms. He seriously saved the day. I booked VERY last minute (8 hrs prior to sitting, and brand new to rover). Michael responded extremely quick with very clear communication. Brownie points for the bathory shirt for sure. My pup is anxious and hasn't had to stay with a stranger like this and he seemed to do great w Michael. We got plenty of updates, and again super clear communication about our pup! He really did so amazing and we could tell our lil guy was happy after being in his care :) THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!

On time, met Moon is advance, and was super respectful of the care document I left. I would have liked a few more pics, but I won't doc a star since I hadn't specifically said that before hand. The pictures I did get were lovely and Moon was well taken care of.

This was our first time hiring Ann, and she was wonderful! She house-sat and kitty-sat for us for 6 nights. She kept us updated with pictures and notes about how our cat was doing, and he seemed to be very comfortable with Ann while we were away. Fig was happy and the house was spotless when we got home. Will definitely book her again!

Celeste was so kind, patient, and communicative! It was such a comfort knowing my little guy was safe while I was away and I didn’t have to worry. Despite being a shy pup, skeeter wanted to be near her and that doesn’t often happen with new people so a great sign. Thank you so much! We will definitely be repeat clients :)

Susan has been dog sitting and weekly walking my 2 pit bulls for a couple of years now. She has been so wonderful with my girls. She genuinely cares about the animals she looks after and is very communicative about how they’re doing and giving updates. My dogs require daily medication and she gladly gave it to them without issue. My dogs are also a bit difficult to walk as they pull and are dog reactive. Susan took it all in stride. She has recently moved away and I am so sad that I won’t be able to continue having her help with my dogs. They are always happy and have clearly been well cared for when I return. Susan is extremely professional and naturally inclined with animals. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for pet care! Thank you, Susan, for everything.

Yana is such a great sitter! Came through last minute (thanks again!) and was incredibly professional, communicative & thoughtful. Our puppy warmed up to her right away, which is always a good first sign. Super excited to have her help again, I couldn't recommend her highly enough.

12/10 – Sparkle is the house sitter everyone wishes they could find. ✨ From the moment we met Sparkle, we knew our home and pets were in exceptional hands. She went far above and beyond anything we expected from a house sitter. Not only did she take impeccable care of everything, but she also gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Sparkle is reliable, communicative, thoughtful, and incredibly attentive to detail. We received regular updates, photos, and check-ins, which made it easy to relax knowing everything was being handled so well. Our home was spotless when we returned—honestly, it may have looked better than when we left. What truly sets Sparkle apart is the genuine care she brings to the job. She treats your home, pets, and routines with the same respect and attention she would give her own. It’s rare to find someone so trustworthy, professional, and kind all in one package. If you’re considering hiring Sparkle, stop looking and book her now. She’s the kind of sitter who becomes your first choice for every future trip. We would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for outstanding care and complete confidence while they’re away.

TL;DR: Capable, punctual, reliable, communicative. Noah made me feel very at ease leaving my babies. My previous sitter retired and I had to do the challenging task of finding someone new. I have a small terrier who is easy. But, I have a 92lb mastiff puppy who’s afraid of everything and very strong. He made great efforts to get in her good graces. I was initially concerned how she’d react to a male but he was by far the quickest to earn her trust of all the interviewees. He stayed at my place for 4 days and 3 nights and when I returned, my babies seemed healthy and happy and no worse for the wear. Aside from taking great care of the pups, Noah was communicative, flexible, and pleasant to work with. He left our house it perfect condition. I highly recommend him with the exception that I don’t want to have to compete for his time!

This was the fourth or fifth time Sadie took care of my pets and my home. My pets absolutely love spending time with Sadie, and I can sense their disappointment when I arrive instead - I suspect that only pet owners understand the joy of being a disappointment when they return. Sadie is also an excellent communicator, and I trust her completely.
