1. Christian G.
“Christian was so great. She was flexible with her meet and greet times and when she showed up to meet Chester, she was friendly as can be and Chester was immediately comfortable with her (which is somewhat rare because he’s a pretty nervous boy). She stayed at our house for the weekend while we traveled and I couldn’t even tell we had a guest when we got back home because she was clean, tidy, and respectful of our space. The best part of her services, though, was how communicative she was - my husband and I were extremely busy on our trip and it was so comforting that each time I had a few minutes to check my phone, I had lots of pictures and messages that our Chester was doing well. We will be using Christian again for our house/dog sitting needs! Would definitely recommend her!”
2. Johana M.
“Awesome! I had Johana stay at my house for the weekend and came home to a clean house and happy animals! Will definitely be using Johana again! She gave me peace of mind while away from my babies”
3. Scarlett M.
“Absolutely amazing! I love that it’s a family business. Sent photos and kept us updated. Our flight got canceled and they were happy to come back out to fed and walk our dogs until we could get home. It took that stress off our shoulders. All my dogs were happy and healthy. Would recommend 10/10.”
4. Laura S.
“Laura did a fantastic job watching my little guy, Cash! She sent me updates and photos which I always greatly appreciate and was flexible with some time changes at the last minute! We highly recommend her!!”
5. Romi Jade A.
“Everyone looks forward to a vacation except for when they need to find a pet sitter. Finding somebody that you can trust to care for your fur babies can be very stressful. I trust Roni to look after my labs when I travel for work or travel for pleasure, she is an exceptional pet sitter. She gives 100% attention and love as if they were her own doggies. My dogs look forward to seeing Romi when I travel and I highly recommend her.”
6. Brianna G.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since i was 6. i currently work for dog boarding.

7. Jeweliana W.
“So polite and professional. Took amazing care of my baby. Will be booking again.”
8. Nhi B.
“I was in a bind and going to be admitted into the hospital and needed to find someone to watch my miniature Poodle and didn’t know Honey at the time and put my full trust in her taking care of my baby. She was so great with caring for him and always updated me and that really put me at ease. I have had her take Maverick a few other times after that when I needed to have him taken care of when I had to leave town and couldn’t take him along. She always interacted with Maverick like he was her own loving pet. I would highly recommend anyone needing their dog taken care of and having Honey take them on. It’s good to note that I don’t trust many people or kennels for my taking my dog and that should tell you a lot about Honey.”
9. Crystal G.
“Crystal is very accomodating when caring for our senior dog. She helps her navigate the stairs, ensures she gets all her medications and genuinely cares for her. You can be assured your pet is well taken care of while with Crystal.”
10. Ligia T.
“Ligia did an awesome job watching my fur babies. Usually when I leave the pets I hear about it from my Great Dane. There’s a lot of “aaaawooo, howwwoll, growwwllly” when I come in the door but this time she was very calm and content. I could tell she had a great time with Ligia.”
11. Danielle K.
“Dani was wonderful to work with and made our trip so much better knowing the dogs were having a great time! ❣️”
12. Vanessa P.
“Did a great job watching over my two babies. I know they had so much fun and with them while I was gone. Kept the house as clean as possible with two big dogs and a rainy weekend. Will definitely book again when I go out of town :)”
13. Matt B.
“This is the second time we've booked Matt, and he once again provided exceptional care for both our dog and kitties. He is scrupulous about taking notes during the meet-and-greet (we had moved since our first booking, so he did a second M&G). He has a loving heart for animals and their needs. My daughter noticed how he scrubbed out the dog and cat bowls and left the house in better shape than he found it. Highly recommend!”
14. RaSean J.
“Sean has years of valuable experience with dogs and cats alike. He is knowledgeable about training, medication, and animal behavior. Sean is trust worthy, honest, and hard-working. Sean is a student right now, so he has a fairly flexible schedule.”
15. Hampton S.
“Hampton did a wonderful job watching our 2 mini dachshunds over the weekend! He was great at communicating & took excellent care of them. He was extremely responsive, sent frequent updates & I felt very comfortable leaving my dogs with him. I would highly recommend booking with him! We will definitely be reaching out again to have him stay with our pups! Thank you so much Hampton! 😊”
16. Gypsy G.
“Gypsy was very communicative and shared daily photos, videos, and updates on our pets. We have three small dogs and they are a handful, so we are so grateful that she took such great care of them! She took our pups on walks each day and followed our directions for their care well. We hope to book again!”
17. Shera M.
“Highly recommend Shera for any dog watching/walking/housesitting needs! She was very communicative and provided us with plenty of pictures of our happy dog with her.”
18. Hannah R.
“Hands down she was the best rover doggie/house sitter we’ve had. Her communication was great and she was very attentive to our two doggies. She gave them lots of play time. We ran into an issue with our flights and got stuck an additional night out of town and Hannah was very willing to work with us and she helped us out tremendously! I would highly recommend Hannah and we would definitely like to have her sit for us again.”
19. Charles L.
“Excellent job. Took great care of our babies, even left a note on the days events. We will use him again and highly recommend him.”
20. Dillon S.
“Dillon is awesome! He was our house/dog sitter for six days while we were out of state. it was so nice to come home to a happy dog and a clean house! Dillon went above and beyond caring for our home and our Zeva. if I could give him 10 stars I would! I highly recommend Dillon to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter!”
