Ben stayed with our pup for a week in our apartment while we were out of town. Prior to the stay, Ben met us and the dog to make sure it was a good fit. Our dog can be reactive to other dogs during walks and Ben was adept at handling our dog. During his stay, Ben communicated with us and sent pics of our happy dog. The apartment was in perfect shape when we returned. Ben had even washed the bed linens and run the dishwasher. THANK YOU so much for the peace of mind while we were away.

Ryan was awesome. This was my pup's first time being away from me after being adopted and he was nervous. Ryan was very patient with him and they were best friends by the end of the stay. Super easy to communicate with and really took care of my boy and my home. Will absolutely book again.

I had booked with another sitter but she broke her ankle the day before our trip. Going down the list I contacted at least six that said they had availability but they didn't. Carly stepped up and gave me first class service all the way. Many thanks from me and my fur babies.

About: I have experience caring for two huskies from puppyhood through adulthood, including daily walks, feeding, playtime, and maintaining consistent routines. I also regularly care for friends’ and family’s pets, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. I’m attentive to each pet’s personality and needs, and I treat every pet like my own. I’m a student with a flexible schedule and only four classes per week, which gives me plenty of availability for pet care. I can easily plan visits, walks, and sitting around my classes and am reliable with routines, timing, and communication. I’m happy to accommodate weekday and weekend requests. I care for pets in their own home, where they’re most comfortable. I always follow the pet parents’ rules, routines, and instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medication, and house guidelines. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, respect for your space, and your pet’s comfort at all times.

Sammy was absolutely fantastic as a dog sitter! From the moment she met our dog, Scotch, it was clear there was an instant connection. Her sweet, caring nature made him feel comfortable right away, and it was obvious from the frequent updates she shared that they were having a great time together. Throughout the stay, Sammy was attentive, communicative, and genuinely caring. She provided regular updates, photos, and check-ins that gave us complete peace of mind knowing Scotch was happy, safe, and well cared for. As an added bonus, she takes incredible dog photos! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Sammy has absolutely earned her spot as our go-to sitter, and we would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and reliable to care for their pet.

Our usual sitters were out of town so we jumped on Rover and were so lucky to have found Emily at the last minute! She was professional and personable but best of all, she took great care of our sweet baby! Because we work from home, we’re with our cat most of day, so we needed a sitter who was able to work from home and could stay overnight. Emily was super thorough during the meet n greet and during the stay gave us daily updates and pics. Patti seemed to really love her! We came home to a clean house and a happy kitty. I would recommend Emily to anyone who wants special and loving care ❤️

We cannot say enough great things about Madelyn. She was incredibly responsive throughout the booking and coordination process and did an outstanding job caring for Stevie and our home while we were away. She provided consistent updates all weekend, and it was clear Stevie was happy and well cared for. Madelyn was attentive, followed all of our instructions, and treated our home with exceptional care. She went above and beyond — laundry, trash, cleaning, etc. We would absolutely book with Madelyn again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, thoughtful, and reliable sitter!

Duncan was awesome! He watched our 70lb lab for 10 days and sent frequent updates and photos. In the photos I could tell that our dog was happy and comfortable. He was very responsive leading up to and during the visit, and also made the time to meet us in person before the visit so he could get to know our dog. When we returned from our trip or Apartment was spotless, and he even washed our sheets for us, which was an unexpected gesture and very much appreciated after a long drive. We will 100% book him again in the future.
