2. Alice Z.
“Alice was absolutely amazing! She gave us so many photos and updates on his every move. We are new to rover so this was an awesome first housesit experience. You can really tell she’ll give your pets lots of love! 10/10 and I can’t wait to use Alice again!”
3. Michelle Z.
“Absolutely fantastic. She House/Cat sat for us and was very communicative, sent lots of photos, gave us many updates, and left the house immaculate. We can tell if a cat sitter hasn’t done their job because our cat gets stress dreadlocks. Our cat was incredibly happy and his coat was perfect when we got home. She also took him on his leash walks which made him extra happy. Highly recommended.”
4. Don D.
“Don was very attentive with our senior dog! She has quite a few needs these days and Don was detail-oriented and followed all our instructions carefully. It made it much easier for us to enjoy our trip knowing that our dog was in good hands. He sent lots of updates and photos. We even think our pup was missing her new friend after we returned. :)”
5. Robert C.
“Robert was awesome with knoxie, her tail is wagging whenever he sits, and i always come home to a large smile on her face. she gets car rides, park visits, and he even allow her to sleep with him under the covers. Not everyone is that caring, especially with a 100lbs pitbull. I highly recommend robert as a trusting and loving sitter.”
6. Kevin T.
“Kevin was an awesome house sitter for our large dogs. He was very communicative, thoughtful and had a great attitude. Our pups are fairly active... and spoiled but Kevin took care of them as well as we would have. He gave them a lot of walks and attention. One of ours takes a lot of suppliments and medicine which wasn't a problem either. Kevin took good care of our place and was very clean too. He sent lots of pictures and provided a lot of updates. We would recommend Kevin to anyone looking for pet services.”

14. Meagan C.
“Meagan went above and beyond to make my dog and cat feel comfortable and loved. I received regular updates, including photos and messages, which puts my mind at ease while I was away. It was clear that Meagan genuinely cared for my pets and treated them like a member of her own family. I knew that my pets were in capable hands, receiving proper care, exercise, and companionship during my absence. It made my trip so much more enjoyable knowing that my fur babies was happy and taken well-cared of. Thank you, Meagan, for making my time away worry-free and for being such a wonderful caregiver for my fur babies! My experience was exceptional, and I will definitely be using Meagan again in the future.”
15. Crystal S.
“We couldn’t be more pleased with Crystal and the care she provides for our home and pets. She is incredibly trustworthy, ensuring everything is always safe and secure. Her attention to detail and cleanliness is remarkable; we always return to a house that looks even better than when we left. Thoughtful and proactive, she goes above and beyond by tending to maintenance tasks and even coordinating with tradesmen, providing regular updates, and sharing helpful insights. Being bilingual in Spanish has been extremely beneficial when working with tradesmen, making communication smooth and efficient. She quickly understands the personalities and individual needs of our pets, always making them feel comfortable and cared for. Crystal is excellent at communicating, keeping us informed with detailed messages and photos, and we consistently receive glowing feedback from everyone she interacts with while caring for our home and pets. Punctual, intelligent, and kind, she always makes everyone feel at ease with her reliable and warm demeanor. It’s rare to find someone so dependable and compassionate, and we feel lucky to have her help. Knowing she is looking after everything allows us to relax while traveling. We highly recommend her to anyone seeking a reliable, caring, and attentive house and pet sitter!”
16. Daniel B.
“Daniel is a very reliable and caring person. Daniel is very responsible and very trust worthy. Daniel treats everyone with respect. Daniel loves his pets.”
17. Grant W.
“I was out of town for an extended weekend, and needed someone to house-sit my pup Lux. She is very anxious and can be reactive on walks. However, Grant did a great job putting me at ease throughout the weekend by providing updates/pictures throughout. It really put me at ease knowing that Grant was able to handle her during walks because of the experience he has with reactive dogs.”
18. Jon S.
“Jon was absolutely fantastic. He took on quite a task of taking care of our cat and our large dog while we had to be away for nearly two weeks. He was quick to respond to messages and posted regular updates of how they were doing. We left Jon with quite a long list of specific instructions on the routines for both animals, especially for our dog who can be quite anxious and very reliant on a regular schedule. Upon our return, we could see that both animals were happy and well taken care of and were perfectly happy and healthy. In addition to taking care of our pets, Jon was an excellent steward of our home while we were away. Upon our arrival, the house was perfectly clean with sheets and towels washed, dishes put away, and general up-keep and cleanliness routines had clearly been maintained. On top of all of that, Jon went above and beyond when some unexpected issues arose with our irrigation system where he had to assist in spotting a leak and helping us to work with our maintenance person to stop the leak. If that wasn't enough...our large dog also chewed up his harness used for his walks and Jon was able to purchase a replacement and sent a receipt to be reimbursed so that our dog didn't have to miss either of his twice a day walks! We strongly suggest working with Jon and will definitely call him again in the future when we need someone reliable to take care of our pets and our home.”
19. Gianna L.
“Gianna provided outstanding care for my two senior dogs. She was a great communicator and put me at ease at once. The dogs seemed content and happy when I got home. I trust Gianna 100% and will definitely be using her again”
20. Mary L.
“Thank you for your care and professional service while looking after Ralph for the first time. You provided great care and reassured me of his care during my time overseas. Great house sitter too!”
