This was the second time I used Stephanie and she was just as incredible this time as she was last. She sent me lots of pictures and I could genuinely tell she was showing my dogs love. I would highly recommend Stephanie.

Thank you for being so flexible with our flight changes and loved all the photos while we were gone. I also appreciated the lights on for when we arrived home after dark.

We needed someone to take care of our 8 weeks old puppy who we just brought home. Kiera helped us in a very short notice as my wife had to go for a surgery. She took time to meet us before and discussed all the details. On the day she sent pictures time to time and updated about our puppy's status. It was a great help and our puppy liked her. We will definitely take her help in future. We appreciate all help and highly recommend her.

Savannah was a wonderful pet sitter for our dog Riley and we would definitely use her again. She was very caring, responsible and professional. Savannah had such a gentle way about her when she interacted with Riley and it was very clear that she loved animals. I felt totally comfortable leaving Riley with Savannah and it was such a relief to go away on vacation knowing that Riley was being taken care of so well. We were so lucky to have found Savannah and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a capable and kind per sitter.

Kristin did a great job sitting for our dogs. She spent several days with them and they had a great time. The dogs seemed very comfortable with her and we were happy she was able to spend lots of time with them. She provided updates multiple times per day including pictures of them around the house and around the pool. We came home to happy and stress free dogs. We would definitely book her again!

Jillian was a great sitter and companion for Potter! She was thorough and kept me in the loop with everything going on at home, which allowed me to know he was well-looked after and I could enjoy my time away. I would love to have her look after Potter again in the future!

Camryn was amazing. She checked in regularly & sent photos of my 3 pups. I could tell they were having a blast with her. They are all senior gals, the oldest being 17. When I got home, they were all so happy, everything was clean (including them! Which is hard when you're battling incontinence and bladder issues). Camryn is top notch and my gals cannot wait for me to go out of town again!!!

FROM DEMI C.- We kept our fingers crossed and tried a pet sitter for the first time to stay at our home. During the initial Meet & Greet, when our usually timid-of-strangers feline fur babies came out on their own to see Dominique—I felt she was the right choice. Loved her attention to detail! Loved the free-flowing communication during the time we were away. I had complete peace of mind while we were on our beach vacation! FROM SHEILA C. - She's truly a cat whisperer. Very attentive, constant and frequent photos & updates on how our babies were doing. Also, very professional. We liked her immediately after the interview. We are now her clients! We plan to leave a generous tip.

Sarah was a lifesaver for us after our normal pet sitter backed out. This was our first time using Rover and we had a great experience with Sarah. She was communicative and transparent about the times she would and wouldn’t be with our dogs and loved and took care of them well!

This is the second time we've had Karena petsit for our 3 smaller dogs ranging in age from 3 to 10 and we were just as happy this time as before. She sends daily updates even if the pups aren't doing anything different than the day before. She would still send us cute pics of them snuggling into their beds or chilling with her on the couch. She's responsive and picks up / cleans up after herself so the house is as tidy as when we left. Highly recommend!!!

I am familiar with distributing oral medications and I'm willing to learn what is required for your babies needs Just giving you a heads up; I work 2pm-10pm, Monday -Friday I can come before and after my shift during the work week. Let me know what works for you and we'll figure it out. I have 2 senior dogs, a partially blind cat, and a cichlid (fish).

I can't recommend Charisma highly enough for her exceptional care of my puppy! From the moment I dropped him off, I knew he was in great hands. Charisma took him to the dog park, where he had an absolute blast playing with her puppy for the day. By the time I picked him up, he had expended all his energy, which is exactly what I needed! Not only was he well-exercised, but he was also well-fed and clearly taken care of with the utmost attention and love. Charisma's communication throughout the day was fantastic; she kept me updated with adorable pictures and notes on how he was doing. If you're looking for a reliable, caring, and fun caretaker for your pet, Charisma is the perfect choice. I wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone who wants the best for their furry friend. She truly goes above and beyond!

Adam stayed at my house for a few days to take care of my dogs, Nanuk and Tree, and he did such a great job. He was super reliable, kept me updated, and made sure the dogs were well taken care of the entire time. He took them on walks every day, which I really appreciated—especially because they’re big boys and definitely not the easiest to handle on a leash. It gave me a lot of peace of mind knowing they were getting the exercise and attention they need. I came home to happy dogs and everything in great shape. I would absolutely book Adam again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!

Awesome experience - will definitely look to book with her again next time we're out of town. We received great pics while we were away. It was nice seeing our dogs snuggling up with her looking comfortable and relaxed. One of our pups was having some allergy issues while we were away. We received pics pretty quickly when she started looking a little rashy and asking us to confirm how we wanted her to handle it (as we had discussed before the trip). She reacted fast and our dog was happy and healthy by the time we got home with no rash or redness at all. We're very happy to recommend her. Our dogs and our home were in great hands while we were away.

Chelsea was an absolute lifesaver in what turned out to be a pretty stressful situation. I left for a 5-day trip and on day 2, part of my house flooded (where she was staying with my dogs and cat). For the rest of the week I had workers coming in and out to dry and demo the space, and was more than willing to leave my trip early, but she insisted she had it handled and really did. She took the dogs on longer walks when the workers were there and a friend of mine was supervising them, and it truly seemed that the pups were taking all the upheaval in stride. They even continued to eat and take their meds, which I can only attribute Chelsea keeping them comfy and happy. I will definitely be inviting her back to sit once the house is in one piece again! Thank you so much Chelsea!

Shannon has watched my dogs numerous times over the years, and she is absolutely wonderful. She was always so gentle and caring with my older dog, Elektra, especially toward the end when she needed extra care and attention to stay comfortable. My younger dog, Matrix, absolutely adores her. He can be pretty needy, and it’s clear she gives him the love, attention, and cuddles he craves when I’m away. I also really appreciate the regular pictures and updates she sends so I know he’s happy and having a good time!
