“Kelsee was so incredible with our girls. She took amazing care of them and kept us updated with pictures while we were away. I highly recommend her to anyone that’s lucky enough to book!!”
2. Paola O.
“Paola is the best! Our cats Stevie and Friday love her, and our golden, Willie, is attached at the hip to her whenever she comes and visits. She is wonderful with updates and is the first person I have been totally confident with her watching our animals enough for me not to worry while we are away. 3x customer and we will always pick her!”
3. Zahira M.
“Zahira was a great sitter! She was very communicative and sent us several videos throughout the weekend to let us know our pup was doing well. This was our first time using Rover and having someone we did not already know stay at our place with Axel but we would definitely hire Zahira again!”

7. Ellen T.
“Ellen was fantastic! She agreed to take care of my cat on a very last minute booking while I was far away and panicked. She eased my concerns, and even though we didn’t do a meet and greet or talk much before, she had no trouble getting to my place and took great care of Clark. Also, he fell in love with her right away! Would highly recommend and would book with her again!”
8. Allison W.
“Allison was my first house sitter but she made everything so easy. She was able to promptly come by for a meet and greet and hit it off with Rita right away even when she was barking like crazy at Allison. She clearly is a professional dog sitter! She took great care of my dog while I was away and provided plenty of communication and updates. Thanks so much for everything!”
9. Sydni C.
“I have had Sydni house sit with my two pups & stop by for walks multiple times & she is wonderful every time! Great communication, punctuality & always sends plenty of photos to keep my dog mom brain happy! She is great with adapting to each of my dog’s personalities and is especially respectful of my requests & our home. Will continue to book with Sydni in the future & would highly recommend her to any paw-rent!”
10. Jamie D.
“Jamie house sat while taking care of our dog and 2 cats. She was easy to communicate with and sent us a ton of pictures and updates! She dealt with administering several meds and kept them on a routine. We came home to a clean house and happy pets.”
11. Rona T.
“Rona was excellent with our dog! I was so appreciative of the time she took to understand him, his personality, and how much she respected our home. She walked our dog, provided tons of updates, and was so kind throughout. It can be a stressful experience to have someone in your home and she made it easy and made us comfortable and confident. I would use Rona again anytime!”
12. Ryan C.
“It was our first time using Ryan and he was wonderful! I think pretty quickly our doggies and kitties warmed up to him :). He sent pictures and was responsive which helps when we are away! Will definitely book him again if he'll have us!”

14. Gigi C.
“Gigi was great! She took great care of our pups & our home. She was very flexible through a few schedule changes which was so helpful. We will definitely be contacting her next time we need a dog sitter.”
15. Lauran J.
“Lauran was great! She took great care housesitting our dog during our recent trip. She was very professional and super engaged throughout the entire experience.”
16. Bridget T.
“Bridget has been an absolute lifesaver for our family, caring for our three dogs—a pair of lively German Shepherds and a playful Mini Australian Shepherd (who is a bit older and requires extra attention and care)—with incredible dedication and love. From the moment we first met her, it was clear that she had a natural connection with animals, and her calm, attentive demeanor instantly put both us and our dogs at ease. Bridget’s responsibility and attention to detail are truly exceptional. She carefully follows all of our instructions, from feeding schedules to administering medications and monitoring the health of our older dogs, and she never misses a beat. Our German Shepherds can be a handful at times, but she manages their energy, unique needs, and quirks with patience and confidence. She also ensures our senior Mini Aussie gets plenty of love and attention, creating a caring environment for all three of them. What really stands out is Bridget’s love for our dogs. She treats them as if they were her own, always going above and beyond to keep them happy and healthy. Whether it’s spending time playing with them in the yard, engaging them in their favorite games, or just offering comfort and affection and plenty of belly rubs, she truly understands their needs and personalities. Her communication is another area where she shines. Bridget keeps us updated with regular messages and photos, letting us know how the dogs are doing while we’re away. This clear and consistent communication gives us peace of mind, knowing our dogs and our home are in such capable hands. Lastly, nearly equal in importance to the trust we have in Bridget to care for our dogs is the trust we have in her with our home and belongings. Being able to wholly trust the person in your home and with the pets you love is enormously valuable and rare, and Bridget has earned that trust. In summary, Bridget has exceeded our expectations in every way. Her professionalism, kindness, and genuine care for our dogs—especially our older ones—have made her an invaluable part of our lives. If you’re looking for a reliable, loving, and detail-oriented house and pet sitter, we cannot recommend Bridget highly enough. Call her Tina Turner, because she is simply the best!”
17. Angie P.
“Angie is amazing with dogs and cats, very careful with everything and will always ask before she does anything. I would trust Angie to watch my animals any day of the week and anytime!”
18. Maddie H.
“Maddie was an outstanding sitter, for our empty house, and our 4 animals. The dogs and cats loved her. At our meet and greet/intervièw three of our four tried to get into her lap at the same time. Our elderly cat Izzy, who can be shy- peaked at her from behind the chair. It was significant that she even left the kitchen with the dogs around and active. This told me immediately that she has good animal energy. The house was well cared for, picked up and my animals were happy, as evidenced by photos she sent, and the doorbell cameras. I will hire her again the next time we leave town.”
19. Bibiana E.
“I had to go away for a couple days and Bibiana did an excellent job taking care of my dog. She was very nice and really cared for my doggo. She made sure he was fed and taken out. She also made sure to take my dog out at least once a day for exercise. Will continue booking with Bibiana for the future!”
20. Natalie D.
About: I have had many various animals in my home my entire life, mostly cats and dogs. I lived on a horse ranch for a time where I gained lots of real world experience and knowledge in caring for many different kinds of animals. I have plenty experience with seniors as well as administering medication using different methods depending on the needs (and preferences) of the animal. In the past my partner and I have fostered cats as well as finding other ways to aide animals in need. Currently we have a house full of cats and I am here hoping to pursue a new avenue to help out pets and people who need it! I do work around 40 hours a week as a barista in the city, I usually work early mornings and have the majority of the afternoon available. Some days however I’m scheduled later in the day and therefore would have the earlier morning available so it does depend on the day but I can also be flexible if necessary! As I have not worked professionally in animal care I cannot speak to that degree however I assure you in my home we have meal routines and make sure to play, snuggle and just spend time with all our babies every single day. My house has a screened in patio so while we don’t fully let them outside they do very much enjoy the partial outside experience the patio provides and we have worked to enrich that space for the cats specifically. I like to think I’m attentive to the things most people may not thing of that can greatly impact the quality of life of the animals we cherish.
