Charlie house sat for us for a week. He took amazing care of our cat and dog. Charlie was very professional and an excellent communicator. When we got home, the pets were happy and the house was immaculate. I highly recommend Charlie for pet sitting. We'll be using his services again!

Julianne is fantastic! We came home to two very happy and content cats. She kept us informed on them and was very in tune with their routines quickly. She learned how to and gave insulin shots to one of them. She is wonderful with animals. And they seem to think she is wonderful right back!

Julie was wonderful watching our dog Zoey for 10 days! I was worried about being gone that long, but she was super responsive the whole time and sent lots of pictures and updates. She was great at playing with Zoey and giving her lots of good walks. She kept our apartment spotless and was a perfect houseguest. I would highly recommend her for any and all dog walking and wouldn't hesitate to use her again!

Rachel came to visit Penny before the stay over. Rachel was confident she could handle Penny and all her needs. Penny is 15 years, can get anxious when we are away, needed diapers, crushed meds in her soft food and a gentle touch. They took to each other right away which reassured us that the weekend that Rachel was to stay over would work out fine. Everything worked out perfectly, even the doggy diapers and Penny's meds in her soft food. Rachel, thank you so much for taking care of Penny and the house. We look forward to having you sit for Penny in the future.

Malek took care of our anxious dog during an extended trip out of state. He made a very good contact with our dog and kept me informed about how they were doing. Malek stayed at our house during the sit. Overall, I had peace of mind while traveling and I highly recommend Malek.

About: Hi, I’m Steph! I’m a full time nurse with a passion for animals and I’d love to help care for your fur babies! I’ve grown up with animals my whole life, we recently lost our 15 year old kitty but our home is still full of chaos and love with 3 dogs and 3 birds 🥰 I’m currently transitioning from working in the hospital full time to working from home so I’ll have a lot more flexibility in my schedule to give your pets the attention they deserve! I’ll care for your pets like they are my own! Any needs or directions I will follow perfectly to make sure your pet is as comfortable with me as possible.

Giovanna was great with my very anxious dog (and his anxious owner). My dog can be difficult and doesn't trust people he doesn't know. Giovanna followed all instructions with patience and care. She was communicative, respectful, and responsible. I came home to a clean house and a happy dog, which is all one could ask for!

Jenn stayed at my house with my two older dogs for one week, and they were pampered and coddled the whole time. She sent lots of photos throughout and was a champ dealing with their various idiosyncrasies. She was a consistent communicator and sent lots of great pix. Even a snowfall didn’t phase her. And the house was as neat and clean as when I left. She is my go-to for home stays!

About: I have dogs of my own that I take on daily walks. I have two husky’s (11 and 6 yrs) and a pitbull I had for 13.5 yrs (she crossed the rainbow bridge). I enjoy going out for walks because I know it’s a dogs favorite time of the day. I’ve taken my friends and family’s dogs on walks while they’ve been out of town. I’m looking to walk dogs in the evening when I go for my afternoon walks around the neighborhood. There are times where I may have availability during the day as well. I’m flexible and will do my best to fit you into my schedule. I love dogs and I treat all dog as if they are my own. I’ll make sure to make them feel comfortable with me and give them the attention they need.

This was Belarria’s first time with a pet sitter she didn’t know. Since I’m her primary person and she basically mopes when I’m gone, even if being looked after by someone she knows and loves, I didn’t have any expectation that she would become best pals or anything, and that was the case and is fine. But she warmed up to Omar quickly when I was there. And she felt secure enough with him to sleep in the bed when the fireworks were happening and take comfort from his presence. She did take treats and medicine (she broke a dew claw right before we went away) from him. I’m extremely happy with the care Omar provided and will be using his services again. Highly recommend.

Jason was absolutely great -- he kept in contact with us providing updates & photos of Sydney while we were out of town. He was attentive to our concerns & handled a tough situation really well while he was watching our pup. Working with him was so easy, he was very flexible & accommodated our crazy schedules and plans. We loved Jason & so did Sydney!

I simply cannot express the relief I had while traveling with Vanessa as my house/pet sitter. I have 2 cats and was babysitting my daughters cat, who arrived the day I left. Vanessa sent pics everyday of the cats snuggled with her or chilling in their fav spots! My trip was very unexpected, and it was my first time using Rover. I’ve always wary booked Vanessa again for a trip I had planned and was going to take my cat to my daughters, but it was so much more relaxing for them here in their home❤️

My dog took to her immediately. You can trust her completely with your home and your beloved pets. She is also a very sweet person. Thanks Xena, you did a great job and we are so grateful to you for helping us with Georgia.

Thank you so much for taking great care of Peach today while we attended our daughter’s graduation! You followed all her post-surgery instructions perfectly — keeping her calm in the sunroom, short walks, e-collar on, and monitoring her incision. We really appreciate it and would happily book you again!

Jason is great with our big old dog. He hasn’t stayed overnight with him for quite some time and yet he remembered all of our dog’s eccentricities. He even brought extra rug runners because he knows our dog struggles with the wood floors. Although I set up a room for Jason on another floor, he said he knew our dog Donnie like to be close to him and that he would sleep on the couch instead. We felt 100% comfortable with leaving our dog with Jason. That means so much to us.

Kalani was an absolutely wonderful dog sitter for my senior dog, Hailey! She stayed at our home and took such great care of her. The frequent photos and updates made it so clear that Hailey was loved and well looked after the entire time I was away. Hailey got to enjoy plenty of time outside and lots of snuggles, which I loved to see in pictures. Kalani was also incredibly respectful of my home. I returned to find everything spotless. On top of that, she was a fantastic communicator, super friendly and just a genuinely lovely person to work with. I would highly recommend Kalani for any dog sitting needs.

Bridget was on time, communicated clearly, conscientiously followed our instructions, and even did things we didn't ask for (like bringing in the trash can and packages). She also checked in with us to make sure our flights were not delayed before she left for the final time. We'd use her again in a heartbeat.
