“He was an amazing sitter. Was very attentive to what my dogs needed and took great care of them. Will definitely continue to book future visits with him!”

“Good communication. Willingness to do a meet and greet and house sit on short notice was a life saver. Rachel and family seem to really love pets and get to know their personalities. Our animals were all happy when we came home.”

“Monica was great. Very professional, communicated well, and took great care of the house and our dog. Will definitely be on my list for future sitter or dog walker needs.”

“Jenna is a genuine joy. Her immensely warm demeanor and professional presence made us feel incredibly comfortable leaving our crew of silly misfits in her care during our first partnership with Rover. Responsible, respectful and a real pleasure to work only begins to describe her and her gift of service. We are truly blessed to consider her to be a member of our pack. Thank you for you, Jenna! 💜”

“Sam was fantastic! We had a very last minute request, with special needs. The communication was great and we always felt that our pup was in great hands. We came home to a very happy dog!”

“Jessica was great! We were out of town 4 nights, and then our flight got delayed and she was able to adjust her schedule to stay a 5th night to take care of our dog. She sent photos and updates at least twice a day and I felt better knowing I had someone here at our house to care for our dog (instead of boarding him). Our dog has some anxiety and allergy issues and she took care of all his meds and gave him lots of love and cuddles. She also washed all the bedding, towels and took the trash out (which she didn't need to do but did it anyhow). Highly recommend! Thanks again, Jessica.”

“Yasmin went above and beyond and took my kitten Sir Snuggles to the vet when he was not feeling well (with my approval) when I was on travel abroad. She even got the vet on the phone at the appointment to talk to me. She was fantastic - and Snuggs is all better now thanks to her help.”

“Calle made this trip worry free! My cats were well taken care of including specific dietary/medicine needs. She communicated daily and responded to all my inquiries during her stay. This was the first time I felt comfortable leaving my cats in someone else’s care, and will definitely seek her out again if the opportunity arises.”


“Kendra was great! Excellent communication, responsed quickly, and took great care of our girl and house! When she was gone I could barely tell anyone had been here. Got some great pictures too. We would happily book with her again”

“Great communication and daily photos/videos. This was our first time leaving our dog, so she didn't eat for the first day we were gone. We collaborated on some problem solving, and she decided she could eat again with the help of some peanut butter. House was well cared for, as well.”

“Lori took very good care of our 2 very different dogs. One has anxiety issues and one is so little and hates being alone. We had to be away for 8 days, and since this was our 1st time using this service we were a bit nervous...but it all turned out fantastic and I feel so much better about leaving my girls. I will be using Lori again and highly recommend her to care for your 4 legged fur babies.”

“Lexi took great care of our older dog in our home this past weekend. On the house sitting side, she was a perfect house guest. We would definitely use her again in the future, and i would recommend her to anyone in need of pet sitting.”

“Absolutely amazing house and dog sitter. She went above and beyond in every way and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Tiger was so loved, cared for, and spoiled the entire time — we could tell immediately when we got home. She kept us updated, treated our home with care, and truly cared for Tiger like he was her own. We are beyond grateful and would recommend her to anyone without hesitation! 🐾✨”


“Meg is simply the best! This was her second time staying at our house with Benji, and we couldn’t be happier. She’s so kind, trustworthy, and clearly loves animals. Benji absolutely lights up when he sees her. She kept us updated with photos and check-ins, which made it so easy to relax while we were away. We came home to a happy pup, a tidy house, and zero stress. It honestly feels like leaving Benji with family. Meg, thank you for loving on our boy and taking such great care of him (and our home!). We’re so grateful for you and can’t wait to have you back!”

“Angie was truly phenomenal—we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She was so kind, responsive, and incredibly accommodating, especially with our puppy. Her communication was excellent and gave us total peace of mind knowing our dogs were so well cared for. It was so clear how much love and attention she gave them. We would trust Angie again in a heartbeat and cannot recommend her highly enough. She’s an absolute gem!”

Nadine was great! She stayed with our dogs while we were away and made sure they felt comfortable. She sent updates every couple of hours, including pictures, so we could see how relaxed and happy they were. It gave us real peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. We would definitely recommend her!
Angie did a terrific job taking care of our dog Teddy. She kept in contact with us and sent photos daily. Teddy is a senior dog who requires medication and is a very picky eater. She was able to met all his needs and took the extra time to make him steak and other food to add to his kibble. When we came home from our trip our dog was happy and healthy and our house was very clean. Angie went above and beyond and cleaned the house and took out our trash! She even offered to throw the bed sheets in the washer before she left. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a house sitter.
Amethyst was a huge help for us - stepping up when our other sitter had to cancel on short notice. She took great care of the pups while we were gone. We got several updates throughout the day, along with several pictures of the kiddos. We will definitely keep her in mind for the next time!
