7. Guadalupe P.
“This was my first time leaving my dog home while going on vacation. I was nervous because he's 16 years old and I've never used a dog sitter before. But Guadalupe was great. She was very sweet with my dog, Motley, during the meet & greet. I could tell he was comfortable with her. She walked me through how to use the Rover app and was very accommodating, pleasant, and flexible with the holiday. She communicated well and I appreciated the text and photo updates. The house was exactly as I left it when I got back and I could tell my little guy was well cared for. Thank you, Guadalupe!”
8. Brittany O.
“This was my first time using Rober and Brittany. Both were amazing and allowed me to enjoy my trip without a worry. Brittany is on point with details, sends pics that really is a relief and I think my cat is looking for her now that Im back. The instant she walked in for the initial meeting Lucy came right up to her. That never happens with Lucy!! I give her an A++++. Thank you Brittany, from me and Lucy!!”

11. Christopher R.

12. Sara P.
“Sara was fantastic! She gladly agreed to meet us in advance for a meet and greet and our dog immediately gave her kisses! A good sign for our usually hesitant dachshund. :) She made us feel extremely comfortable leaving our baby in her hands and didn’t flinch at my paranoia regarding our sticky door lock. She arrived on time for all scheduled visits, stayed plenty long enough for Madeiline to do her business and still get some snuggles in. She was super responsive and sent multitude of pictures of their adventures. Arrived home to a happy and relaxed puppy. Would definitely recommend Sara to any other dog parents out there and will be using her again ourselves. Thank you Sara!”
13. Bob and Francine A.
About: We are animal lovers who would love to have your dog or cat stay overnight, for a weekend or a week! We currently have three dogs and 4 cats. We also have various foster dogs at any given time. Some are a little shy but they are all socialized and well behaved. We prefer to take the dogs on a walk when meeting but the interaction is entirely dependent on you and your dogs comfort level since you know your best friend best. We have a fenced in backyard perfect for running and playing. We try to walk the dogs several times a week. Although we have a crate, we don't use it unless your dog is not house broken or if your furry friend needs some alone time while eating. Come on by for a "bark, sniff and greet". We have plenty of doggie beds and cat perches so that your furry friend will feel right at home. We treat all dogs like family so you have no worries while on vacation!
14. Tommy & Julie F.
“Julie was a life saver when we had conflicting schedules and needed someone to help care for the pups. She was on time, sent lots of pictures, had great communication, and was so sweet to my babies. Will definitely recommend and hopefully can have her help again in the future!”
15. Christy W.
“Christy gave special care and attention to my senior dog. She was this little dog's, who had gone through many changes in a short time, first pet sitter and it went well. I will welcome Christy back and recommend her as a reliable, caring pet sitter.”
16. Alyssa B.
“Alyssa was fabulous with my two 6 year old kitties and if I could give her 6 stars I would! We were gone for 8 days and leaving them was so hard, but I knew they were in wonderful hands. Each day I received photos of Melody and Hoover along with notes about how they were doing, leaving no doubt in my mind that she was the right person for their care. She went 'above and beyond' which settled any uneasiness about leaving them. Even down to unforseen traveling delays coming home, she was there to lend a hand if necessary. I will definitely use her again.”
17. Elena H.
“We are so grateful to Elena! She met with us promptly upon a last minute request for drop in visits. She was attentive, reassuring and knowledgeable about our dog’s specific diet and medication. We felt so comfortable leaving our elderly dog and know that she was well taken care of while we were away.”
18. Brianna A.
“Brianna took amazing care of my 3 kitties. They absolutely loved her. Her communication was excellent and my cats barely noticed I was even gone. She did the cutest arts and crafts projects with them, brushed them, took out the trash and left my place spotless (other than the amazing arts and crafts I came home to.) All of my instructions were followed perfectly, she never left any trash behind, and brought so many treats and toys for the kitties! She came to meet the kitties ahead of time and bonded with them so fast. I would trust Brianna with my cats in a heartbeat and I don’t even trust my parents with them.”
19. Mary C.
“Mary has always been good with animals. She has taken care of my pets and other people pets in the past with no complaints and always happy and healthy pets when I get home. Mary has fantastic communication about the needs of the pets, including if anything out of the ordinary were to pop up, and if anything were to happen while she was there, I know any situation could be handled and she would keep me in the loop. I still have Mary care for my pets and I would suggest her to anyone who is in need of a pet sitter.”
20. Madeline S.
“Was able to squeeze in our cat for an unexpected trip out of country and sent plenty of updates and pics. Very friendly to him even when he was a bit shy/spooked on the first day, which meant a lot to us as first-time pet parents leaving our baby with a new person. Definitely recommend and am so happy with her care!”
