1. Madeline B.


“Madeline has stayed with Harley multiple times now, and she’s been incredibly attentive to his needs, communicative about how he’s doing, and flexible. She’s an awesome sitter that I’m glad Harley and I can rely on!”


2. Cruz P.

“We can’t say enough good things about Cruz! They were so great with our reactive pup! Our pup didn’t even bark at Cruz, which is a first, and is a testament to how caring and great they are! We will definitely work with them again!”


3. Ana C.

“Ana was awesome. I was terrified to leave my dog, Cleo. She made me feel so at ease and kept me posted with lots of updates. I knew she was well taken care of. I will be booking again. Cannot recommend her more highly.”


4. Crystal G.


“Crystal is the best! She did a fantastic job watching our French Bulldog (Lando) and treated our home with the upmost respect during her stay extended. She was very engaged and communicated with us regularly. We would highly recommend Crystal and will be booking with her in the future to watch Lando.”


5. Isaiah W.

“We have used Rover for several years (back when it was Doggy Vacay) ~ and have used many different dog and house sitters. Isaiah was among (if not THE) best we've ever had. He was very conscientious with our personal home concerns, but the attention and care he showed to Suzi was nothing short of exceptional. We feel so fortunate to have found him, and will definitely be going to him again in the future.”


6. Alexandra H.

“Alex took care of my dog in my house for a few days. She left it very clean and tidy, my boy seemed very happy. I could not ask for more! I highly recommend her.”


7. Angela A.

“Angela was amazing! She offered to do a meet and greet before sitting, which was perfect for my dog who is a little wary of new people. I also got plenty of updates and pictures. And I was able to enjoy my time away worry free because she was in such good hands.”


8. Laurena A.

“Laurena did a wonderful job handling our "special needs" dog during our twelve day trip. Although he was very apprehensive at first, each day going forward they had more walks and playtime together. He even stayed near Laurena (under her dining room chair:) during mealtimes dinner time, even though he is very protective of his food bowl which was next to him. We got pics almost every day, which was great. Plus our home was thoroughly clean and sparkling when we returned, which we so appreciated. We are hoping to have Laurena come again in February!”


9. Asher O.

“Thanks to Asher's excellent care of my Husky, I'm able to visit family without spending the whole time worrying about what's going on at home. Asher is reliable, careful, attentive, and a really good communicator. Can't recommend him highly enough.”


10. LAURA S.

“Laura was great dog sitter! She stayed with our dog for 3 days and was in communication with us the whole time, sending us updates and sweet pictures of our happy girl. When we got home our dog was just as happy as when we left her and it seems like she had a wonderful time! We’ll definitely rebook with Laura and would recommend her to anyone!”


11. Dayoung L.

“Amazing”


12. Holly C.

“My husband and I left our two dogs with Holly for our first overnight since the pandemic. One of them is extremely nervous and we have been unsure of leaving him alone. We felt confident leaving them with her and she communicated very well the whole time.”


13. Josephine K.

“Josephine took great care of my fur baby! She was very attentive to following his daily regime and did a great job of providing me with regular updates.”


14. Pooya B.
“Pooya was my neighbor back in 2017 and an absolute lifesaver for Fluffy and me during that time. He was incredible dependable and providing excellent care. Fluffy clearly enjoyed his walks with him and I always felt comfortable knowing he was in good hands. I especially appreciated his flexibility and willingness to accommodate my schedule, even during holidays. He stayed with fluffy once during thanksgiving and once on Christmas eve. He also took fluffy to the vet once on short notice because I couldn't take him myself. I highly recommend Pooya to any pet owner seeking a loving and reliable dog walker/sitter.”


15. Faye J.

“Faye was great with our dog”
16. Cheri I.

“Matt and Cheri never disappoint they are so attentive and take such amazing care of our animals! If you are looking for people who treat your pets like family these are the people for you. Thank you again Cheri and Matt for going the extra mile!!”


17. Sara G.

“Sara was wonderful with my seven-month-old Chessie retriever and my 12-year-old Dauchshund! They warmed up to her instantly. Sara sent me lots of pictures and I left home with complete peace of mind that my doggies would be well cared for and they were -I highly recommend Sara!”


18. Julieth O.

“Julieth is the best! She took such great care of our dog on a recent weekend trip, getting him out for lots of exercise and sending updates a few times a day. She really cares so much for our pup, and he loves hanging with her!”


19. Shard M.
“Shard stayed with my two dogs for a week and took great care of them. One of my dogs is very nervous with new people and will continue to bark at visitors upon them entering the house or moving around for weeks. I’m sure she was not easy to live with, but Shard worked with her and made sure both dogs were walked, fed, and loved. They visited multiple times ahead of the trip to help aclimate our nervous pup and sent pictures throughout our trip.”


20. Jovic S.
“Jo is an incredible pet sitter. She has such a natural way with animals, and it’s clear that she genuinely loves what she does. My finicky little dachshund can be hard to please, but Jo earned his trust right away and kept him happy and comfortable throughout her visits. Her attention to detail and kindness shine through, and I couldn’t be more grateful to have found someone so reliable and caring. Highly recommend Jo if you're looking for a pet sitter who treats your pets like their own!”
