1. Mo F.

“It was great having Mo stay at our house over the long weekend. We were sad to not have our pups camping with us but it was nice to know they were in good hands! Received many great photos of our pets relaxing around the house and eating meals. Came home to no mess and happy animals. Would definitely hire her again in the future!”


2. Ann A.

“Ann is the best! She is reliable, communicative and goes above and beyond what is required for housesitting. She has stayed with our pets several times, both long weekends and for over a week, and she has taken care of everything. We know that our home and fur babies are in capable hands when Ann is there. I hope she never stops doing this!”


3. Lila P.

“Lila was a great sitter for Minnie. My very anxious “baby” took to Lila very quickly and that is not her norm, so I felt very comfortable leaving them together. Lila communicated and kept in touch well. She was very respectful of my home and even left a cute doggie thank you note. Minnie seemed to love her and I know this because often when I get home Minnie us sitting by the door waiting. She was sleeping in the living room and much calmer than my usual returns. I recommend Lila as responsive, responsible, and respectful. Thank you!!!”


4. Kayla C.

“Kayla has watched my home and two pups, twice. She is great! Always keeps us informed and send pics. We had a stress free vacation with Kayla watching our home and fur babies!”


5. Samantha H.

“Sam was fantastic. Very good with my pet and my home!”


6. James M.

“James & Reichel did a fantastic job with our furbaby, Oscar. They were always responsive and prompt, and we would definitely hire them again!”


7. LINGWEN W.
“Lingwen has always provided the utmost care to animals. For her own dog and other people’s pets she has taken care of, she is very gentle and pays close attention to detail. She is observant of when pets are behaving not like themselves, which has been a lifesaver at times in the past.”


8. Ella C.
“Ella has a special way with animals.. She is patient and extremely loving . You know they are in good hands while your away. I highly recommend Ella for pet and house sitting.”


9. Tosya F.
“Tosya was great taking care of our French bulldog, Chloe. She followed all of our instructions, respected the house and left everything the way she found it. Chloe at the time had a pre-existing minor injury from playing and running too hard (she will play fetch and run around until exhaustion), and Tosya took extra care to not exacerbate Chloe's injury, no matter how much Chloe may beg even when injured. Chloe is a cuddle bug and loves attention and Tosya was more than happy to cuddle up and give Chloe lots of pets and attention. We also have an antisocial cat and Tosya respected his space but made sure he was in the house, fed and had water. We were very happy with hiring Tosya as our pet sitter and recommend her for anyone else looking for a reliable person to watch their fur-babies.”


10. Catherine B.

“This is the second time we have asked Catherine to watch our dog and cat. And we would definitely ask her a third, fourth, fifth, and so on because she is wonderful caring for them! We had no worries being out of town and know that they are in good hands with Catherine. Anybody seeking Catherine's help to watch their pets will not be disappointed. Thank you so much!! - M&N”


11. Megan F.
“Megan is an animal lover to her core and is a wealth of knowledge of dogs! She loves all animals as her own and is a pleasure to work with.”




12. Stacy M.

“Stacy was very thorough in reviewing care instructions for my two pups and made sure to text me with updates throughout the weekend. She was very accommodating to one of my pups who is more nervous with strangers, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again if I need dog care!”


13. Ainsley M.
“Ainsley has been caring for a wide variety of fur babies since she was able to walk. Dogs, cats, rats, snakes, birds and guinea pigs- you name it, she's cared for at least one! Ainsley loves all living creatures. She is both compassionate and level-headed. She knows how to work with dogs on basic commands and how to administer medication. Finally, Ainsley is responsible and dependable - a great fit for pet care.”


14. John T.

“Excellent! Will book again in the future!”


15. Laura L.
“Laura is a reliable, patient, and caring dog walker. She is punctual and my dogs love the walks she brings them on during my long work shifts. She is easy to reach, book walks, and reschedule if needed. My dogs and I are thankful to have her.”


16. Logan G.

“Logan pet sat for our cat Bella for a week while we away. Bella is a senior with special needs. Logan came by to meet with Bella a few times before we went away. Logan then stayed at our home caring for Bella while attending college classes. We called every few days so Bella could hear our voice. Having Logan with Bella allowed us to be away knowing she was being well cared for and not alone for long periods of time. We will be in touch with Logan again to sit for Bella.”


17. Tuyet N.

“Nhi was absolutely amazing with our cat Molly! She was very communicative and treated our home with lots of respect. She always sent pictures, and if she needed anything, she called or messaged us as soon as possible. I would highly recommend Nhi to anyone looking for a sitter! We will definitely be using her again :)”


18. Julie S.
About: I have cared for many dogs, cats and small animals being my own or others in my lifetime . A compassionate soul that loves animals. I currently work from home in my art studio with a very flexible schedule. My biggest commitment is taking my daughter to and from school. I am a reliable, compassionate animal lover with plenty of great references of both pet and people care as most of my career has been in home health care .


19. Kathy P.

“Our usual dog sitter/house sitter texted at the last minute (the day of) to cancel. We had a wedding to attend, and we had already booked a hotel as it was a big drive and would be a late night. So, I quickly hopped onto Rover to find a replacement. We sent a request to Kathy, and she responded immediately, and we scheduled the gig. We were very happy with Kathy. Her professionalism was outstanding, and our two dogs loved her. We felt very comfortable leaving them in her care. We were happy that we found Kathy and would use her again.”


20. Cara M.

“Excellent care for our 3 dogs and cat. Cara made sure our special needs dog got what he needed. Cara respected our home and left it as she found it. Great communication throughout. We will book her again!”
