1. Charles M.

“Charlie did a wonderful job with my pets. They loved him and acted like they had known him for years! Charlie took notes, sent pictures, and did everything so I had not one concern about my silly golden and talkative cat . The most amazing thing is that he did this on a VERY short notice when I had to go out of town unexpectedly!! He was a true help to me! I would definitely call Charlie again!”


2. Noemi C.


“Noemi was great at communicating and providing updates while we were gone! Our dog is typically skeptical of new people, but warmed up to her immediately in a way we rarely see. She was willing to do a meet and greet before staying with our pup which put us at easy. I would definitely user her again.”


3. Jillian F.

“If you are looking for someone to stay in your home and give lots of love and care for your pet, Jillian is just wonderful and I would highly recommend!! What was unique about Jillian is that she stayed in our home the entire time. She followed all of my instructions, provided daily updates and pictures and when she left, she washed the linens and the home was clean and tidy. She may not be able to provide the fast, active walk with your pet, but she is fully capable to walk and play with your pet. I ended up booking another dog walker separately for a more active walk. This arrangement worked perfectly for me and worth the additional cost, as I would rather have my dog be with a loving sitter in my home where my dog was not left alone than having more dog walks. I will definitely be booking Jillian again! She was a joy to work with and I know she made my dog feel safe and loved. Thank you.”


4. Mallory S.

“What a great team! Mallory and Ian took care of our two shepherds for a week in our home. Daily pic updates were sent. Ian played ball and exercised our pups. We will definitely use them again.for future dog/home sitting.”


5. Evelyn G.

“Eve was amazing with our two dogs! She gave them great care, plenty of exercise, and even put Bluey on the tv for them to enjoy ☺️ We also really appreciated her communication and flexibility with scheduling. Will definitely be calling her to dog sit again! Thank you, Eve!!”


6. Anna N.


“Anna stayed with my pets over the 4th of July weekend. She did an amazing job! My quirky golden retriever and friendly cat loved her. Anna, kept in touch and was very easy to reach. She is such a kind person. I felt great leaving my special buddies with her. Nancy Deford”


7. Ke’Vin J.

“Ke'vin was very flexible with scheduling when we had to find someone quickly to leave town for a family emergency. With little notice, he came to our house for a first meeting and then started the next day for a overnight sitting service for five days. Our senior dog is always afraid of new people but Ke'vin sent videos of her and it's clear she warmed up quickly to him and really liked him. He gave her meds with no issue. I'm glad we found Ke'vin on Rover!”


8. Brenda G.
About: I’m a huge animal lover, I’ve been pet sitting for about 4 years but my personal experience with animals go back about 10+ years. I’m very patient, fun, caring and outgoing. I have a very friendly rescued dog of my own & 3 cats. I’m available just about anytime to watch your baby. My schedule is pretty flexible…. If you have questions feel free to message me any time. I live in a great neighborhood for walks. I have a friendly dog & 3 cats of my own for your baby to play with.


9. Alex K.

“We arranged a meet & greet with Alex a week ahead of the booking, and our dogs loved him right away! He was great at following all the instructions we provided and kept us updated while we were away. It was clear the dogs enjoyed their time with him, which gave us so much peace of mind. Would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”


10. Joy J.


“Joy was communicative and took great care of Duke and Zoe! She sent pictures and checked in and the dogs seemed to love her. The house looked good and we felt really comfortable with her. We’ll definitely book again!”


11. Kimberly W.

“Kimberly went over and above in every way possible on her sit for my pack today. She made a difficult appointment I had today so easy and her kindness touched my heart deeply. I will definitely request Kimberly to sit again”


12. Marilee F.
“Marilee is so kind and she just loves furbabies. My little pup lights up every time she gets to see Marilee. My girl Jewel looks forward to her walks and love her play and snuggle time too. Professional, courteous and loving, all the things we value about Marilee, so thankful for her.”


13. Logan E.

“Logan was excellent - this was the first time we were leaving our two dogs at home during a long vacation. Logan has been extremely responsive and the dogs loved her! I highly recommend Logan -”


14. Lee K.
“Lee has taken care of my cat and dog on various occasions and has done a great job. The pets love him and he cares for them as if they were his own.”


15. Jennifer F.

“Jennifer did an awesome job keeping us informed and making the dogs very happy with playtime, lots of naps, and fun treats. It was so relaxing to be able to go away and know our home was watched and the dogs happy to stay in their own beds. If an occasion presents itself again where we need to travel and not have all thee dogs with us we will call her again.”


16. Dahyron V.


“Dahyron was amazing! We were expecting the birth of our first child but obviously things can happen at any minute late in pregnancy. He was super flexible and accommodating with the time frame. We even hung out with him for a while after the induction was pushed back. Our dogs loved him and he provided great updates during our stay at the hospital. Will book again!”


17. Ariana Y.

“Ariana has been my go to sitter! She is so good with my Lucy and she loves her. Very dependable! She also has helped me out with a few small projects around the house while I’m away. Highly recommend!”


18. Becca S.

“Becca was wonderful! She was able to watch Tazer on short notice over a holiday weekend. She sent updates and photos letting me know how he was doing. I have never had someone new watch him before and she said he adjusted well. It was such a relief knowing I could get away and he was in great hands. I will definitely be using her to sit again.”

20. Haley & Alex Z.
“Haley and Alex are wonderful with my pets! I have three persian cats and a small dog. They are punctual, diligent in making sure all the pets needs are met and most importantly make sure none of the kitties (indoor only) get out! My dog Daisy loves when they come over to play! We are definitely using them again! Plus the perk is when one is busy, the other one can come! It’s a win win for all!”
