1. Jonathan N.
“Jonathan is wonderful! After a stressful Thanksgiving, we decided that it would be better to leave our 3 year old pup home for Christmas while taking our other two older labs. All the people and other dogs were just too overwhelming for her. Luckily for us, Jonathan was available, and I could not recommend his services more. We had a lovely meet and greet and Piper took to him right away. We had a seamless handoff on the day of departure and he took excellent care of Piper and our home. He even went above and beyond to launder the guest bedroom linens and towels, tidy up, and take out the trash before departure. Jonathan is a highly reliable professional, an excellent communicator, and we will definitely use him again! We highly recommend him!”

“Jillian is a professional! She is great with communicating updates and pictures. I trust her 100%. It is comforting to know Summer is in good hands when I travel.”
4. Angela O.
“Angela has dog sat and walked my 90+ pound dog numerous times this past winter and summer. While she dog sits she keeps me updated and sends over pictures regularly. She has dog sat for a few hours, as well as multiple days at a time. My dog, Hemi gets excited to see her when she comes over. Angela is someone I and Hemi can count on.”
5. 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”

“Thank you so much for staying with our dogs over Memorial Day week/weekend!! Grace did a great job of taking care of 2 dogs and our house! Highly recommend!”
8. Jessica J.
“Jessica was a wonderful sitter for our dog Freya. From the first Meet & Greet, Freya immediately felt comfortable with her and loved playing together. Jessica was easy to get in touch with and provided daily updates on how things were going. She was also flexible and responsive to our needs for the stay. I would absolutely recommend her as a pet sitter.”
9. Davide A.
“Davide was fantastic. His motto is “leave it cleaner than I found it” was truly awesome. I’ve had Davide house sit our 130 lbs German Shepherd a couple of times. Max is active and sheds everywhere. He combed him outside, picked up his potties, ran the sweeper and left the mail on the counter. The house was spotless and the dog seemed very happy. Davide sends pictures throughout the day to let you know what your pet is up to and that it is all fine. He texted me a couple of time with questions which I didn’t cover with him - which was great follow up on his part and very professional. I would highly recommend Davide to house sit your pet. He will be house sitting mine again.”
10. 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!”
11. Jamie H.
“Jamie is amazing! She took care of our 2 (very active) dogs and did an outstanding job. She sent great pictures and updates daily to us - making sure we had comfort that they were happy and well cared for. She is very talented working with dogs (She even brushed our Sheppard every day)! Jamie stayed at our house and was very respectful and our house was in amazing condition when we returned. I could not recommend her more highly.”
12. Kathryn G.
“Katy, did a fantastic job with our senior dog-letting him out frequently to avoid accidents and keeping his medications straight. She was extremely patient and managed to win him over enough to get him to eat most of his meals. Our dog tends to go on hunger strikes when we are gone, so it was such a relief to know he was eating. Katy sent frequent photos of our dog enjoying his day which was much appreciated. She also kept all of our bird feeders filled-no small task since we have five. We are happy to have found a pet sitter who knows how to handle a senior dog.”

14. Henry J.
“Henry was fantastic! It’s the first time he’s cat sit for our three cats/kittens. He was very easy to work with. He spent some time beforehand to give him the lay of the land with house and cats and he managed well while we were gone. Personally, he’s quite a nice guy. Responsible, detail-oriented, easy to talk with. He played and engaged with the cats and kept their feeding schedules and particular tastes well-monitored. We enjoyed him personally, he was great with the cats and was very responsible with household surrounds. We give Henry a top notch rating and would easily recommend him to a friend!”
15. Ethan R.
“Every animal Ethan meets is immediately drawn to him. He has been an animal lover since birth, and was raised in his home with family pets, Pumpkin, Scruffles and Bella. Ethan is a compassionate, highly attentive and responsible pet lover who treats all pets as if they were his own, and is fiercely protective and passionate about animal rights. If you hire Ethan as a pet sitter, the owners of these pets couldn't leave their bundles of joy in more reliable and loving hands. Ethan is the pet whisperer! Hire him now! Ester N.”
16. Maxwell K.
“Max has cared for our cat and two dogs on several occasions, as both a drop in walker and an overnight pet sitter. He is consistently kind and considerate, demonstrating a real affection for all our pets. Our dogs are always excited to see him! And our cat loves his lap best of all. We highly recommend Max as a trustworthy and kind caregiver for your pets!”
17. Dannette W.
“Dannette was absolutely incredible! My Pitt-mix is reactive around other dogs and can be a handful on walks, and Dannette barely batted an eye. She sent daily updates that let me know she was really paying attention to Gemma, which set me at ease. All of that would have been enough for a good review, but the pièce de résistance was how nice and clean my apartment was when I got home. My flight had been delayed and I was not looking forward to having to wash my sheets once I got home. But lo and behold, Dannette had not only washed my sheets, but she had also made my bed! 😭🥲 The apartment was clean, with no weird smells or suspicious stains— just clear signs of her level of care. I could also tell from Gemma’s energy that she had actually been taken on walks and well taken cared for, which hasn’t always been the case with other sitters. Suffice to say— 10/10 would book again! 🙏🏻”
