1. Ivy W.

“Ivy was great with our stubborn and aloof dog, Itza. She took time and went at Itza's pace, even coming over VERY early on the day I left to make sure Itza could warm up to her a bit before their week together. The house looks just how I left it and all our plants seem even happier than they were when we left.”


2. Ariel R.

“Ariel took great care of my elderly pug, as well as my apartment. She gave his medication on time and responded to what he needed. She also went above and beyond taking care of the space, and left it cleaner than she found it.”


3. Lucy C.

“This is the first time we have used Rover and we highly recommend choosing Lucy to watch your pet! She is a great communicator, sending updates by photos and videos. Through her messages we were able to see how attentive and caring she was, which in turn allowed us to know he was in good hands. Lucy exercised our pet several times a day and even took him to the dog park to play with others. Additionally, she took care of our home and kept it in pristine condition. We have only positive things to say about Lucy. She is a pet sitter that will go above and beyond to care for your pet!”

20. Camila N.
“Hello! We had just gotten our bichpoo puppy back in March 2024 and went on our first vacation when she turned ~6 months. It was our first time leaving our fur baby and we had entrusted her with Camila and we could not have been more happy. She was super understanding of our girl’s schedule and what not. We were always given an update at a minimum once a day to which it was super detailed and really comforting especially for first time dog parents leaving their fur baby. Camila really made our vacay enjoyable and our girl was always zooming around in the videos she sent or smiling with her tongue out in the numerous pictures she sent. I would definitely trust Camila to take care of our girl Evie again and would most definitely recommend her services to others.”
