Nicole just took care of our 14 1/2 year old Sheltie while we were away for 12 days. We had read all of the reviews about her on Rover and when we met her in person we knew she was going to be awesome. Her knowledge of older animals was very helpful and comforting to us. We were very comfortable with having Nicole stay at our house. Every day we were away she would send us pictures that really made us happy and smile. She reassured us that our girl Coco was taking her medicine and eating and seemed very comfortable. She is everything we were looking for in a pet sitter. We felt that she went one step beyond with her gentle kindness to our old girl. We are feeling very comfortable now with using Nicole again the next time we need a pet sitter. Truly cannot say enough nice things about her.

Booked Stefan last minute and has my fingers crossed behind my back, but no need! Proactively Stefan made the effort to travel to meet my dog prior to booking. He was communicative and kind, will re-book certainly.

Zamir did a wonderful job with my two pups and even stayed late when my flight was delayed to ensure they wouldn't be left on their own. Look forward to having him sit for us again!

Yasmine was the perfect sitter for my pup, Shiloh. She took her on multiple walks and to the dog park. She was very flexible given our need for a last minute sitter. We will definitely be using her in the future. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a sitter for you pup!

My dog Spice was so well taken care of. Anita sent me regular updates and photos and was very attentive to Spice’s needs. I would recommend her 100% but I am afraid she won’t be available next time I need her!!!

Keith is the absolute best dog sitter and is just a super friendly and nice person. He watched our two pups overnight on our wedding day, and we knew it was one less thing we had to worry about on our big day. It was easy to see how much Keith genuinely loves dogs from the second he walked in the door. He knows what questions to ask and makes sure he knows your pets tendencies, routines and any special needs they may require. Keith even went as far as giving us a detailed report of the stay. We plan to use him for all our future dog sitting needs.

Lauren was the best! This was our first time leaving our 7month old puppy and Lauren was so great with sending us photo updates and keeping us on the loop which gave us such peace of mind. She was able to handle his puppy energy and schedule and he seemed so comfortable with her! She is responsive, on time, reliable and so pleasant to work with. We’ll definitely be using Lauren again!

Jessie is a great pet parent and sitter! She has one lovely and well-cared for kitty, and has watched my two dogs for me in the past while I’ve been away. I highly recommend her as she is responsible, compassionate, and in tune with what animals need!

Estelle watched our pets at our house while we were away for a couple of nights. She was on time and overall very responsible. Good communication. Our dog was well walked, cat litter boxes were clean when we returned, and all animals appeared content. We'll be reaching out to Estelle again next time we need a pet sitter. Thank you, Estelle!

Molly went above and beyond for us as a house- and pet-sitter over the Christmas holidays. My wife and kids and I had a long-delayed, week-long trip planned to see my mother across the country from Christmas Eve through New Year's Eve day, and we were having a tough time finding appropriate care for dog and cat. Our dog, in particular, was a challenge, as she's highly reactive to other dogs, is not used to spending most of the day in a crate, and needs some good exercise every day. We realized that a house sitter who was really good with animals was our best option. Luckily, we found Molly. Molly came over in advance of the booking and connected right away with our family and both of our pets. She took very good care of them over the time we were away making sure our dog got long, stimulating walks and playtime, and that our somewhat cantankerous cat got lots of attention. She also took care of our home, and left it in as good or better shape than when we left. She responded quickly and thoroughly to communications and proved herself to be highly responsible, flexible and generous with her time. If you've gotten this far, you've probably figured out that we're highly recommend Molly and would happily work with her again when the need arises.

Zoe pet-sat for our cat and puppy and was amazing! We got consistent updates from her with pictures of our little babies and she was very responsive. Zoe was flexible when it came to the exact times she could start watching our pets, which helped a lot for our two trips we took. Additionally we came back to Zoe having cleaning our place a bit which was nice. Would recommend Zoe and we will definitely reach out to her for future pet watching needs.

Over years Tasha has dog sat my old dog Maverick and my new one named Gigi. She has always been more than loving, even taking on the challenge of walking a dog that was terrible on a leash. Tasha is always the first on my list of calls when I need someone to dog sit.
