“Nicole helped me out in a big way while I was away at a wedding! I got adorable pictures of my pup and was very happy to hear she took the time to let her warm up. Will definitely rebook with Nicole again, highly recommend!”

“Tori was a great communicator while she housesat and dogsat for us over a weekend. She sent lots of little notes and photos which were appreciated and clearly was very attentive to our older dog who can be a little particular! Highly recommend.”

“Natalie took great care of our pets (cat and dog) and our home! She met with us in person prior to the sit, and provided several updates with photos everyday throughout the sit. We appreciate the care she took to ensure we would feel comfortable and confident during our time away from our pets and home. We would definitely welcome here again and highly recommend her for future pet care :)”


“Rose was flexible in meeting Rocky and myself for a meet and greet. She was friendly and was at ease with Rocky. We provided Rose with a list of medication for Rocky as well as his regular feeding schedule and she didn't have any questions or hesitation. Rose was self sufficient and we would welcome her to watch Rocky at our home again.”

“Omar was truly amazing! We were in a crunch after our original dog sitter did not finalize as expected, and Omar stepped in on short notice without hesitation. He confirmed the dates quickly and even made time to meet our two Rhodesian Ridgebacks for two walks before the stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. From the beginning, Omar was prompt, professional, trustworthy, and genuinely eager to meet our dogs. During the stay, he kept their schedule consistent and even took them on extra walks, which I know they absolutely loved. He kept us updated throughout, and we always felt confident that our dogs were safe, secure, and well cared for. Omar is not only a great sitter and walker, but also an overall great person. Our dogs loved him, and we would feel completely comfortable having them stay with him anytime we travel. I think we have officially found our recurring sitter and walker. Highly recommend!”

“Tanya is a wonderful dog sitter! She kept our dog Vinny company over Christmas when we had plans fall through last minute. She was a terrific companion to Vinny. Is incredibly responsive and provides lots of pictures. Highly recommend!!”

“This is our second time working with Betsy and she has been amazing. Our dog gets excited when she comes through the door. We return to a house that is clean and organized. She is the best and I highly recommend!”

“Alana was wonderful. She was responsive, thoughtful, and reassuring with our initially anxious shepherd cross- overall a great Rover find. We've already booked her for another stay!”

“Devika was prompt and personable and connected with my dog immediately. She kept me updated on his well-being and was great to work with. I had to unexpectedly find someone to watch my dog while I was out and was very lucky to find her.”

“Above and Beyond Karein immediately earned our trust as our two dogs bonded with her on a first visit. She kept us informed of their well-being every step of the way, including caring for a tummy upset and introducing them to new friends on a walk. A hidden treasure: the house was more beautiful when we returned than when we left -- of note: a meticulously organized refrigerator!! My instinct, having read other reviews, was to contact Karein immediately, and we're so glad we did. Highly recommend her, and only wish we had the budget to make her a regular weekly dog walker and a steady housesitter/dogsitter!! Thank you Karein, and thanks Rover for an excellent experience!”

“Jasmine was wonderful! She was a fast communicator, made us feel comfortable and confident while we were away. And we're even booking her again for our next vacation. At the end of July. Our house was left immaculate. Our dog was very happy and we look forward to working with her again in the near future! Thank you so much, Jasmine!”

“Jess is great about communicating how our 2 labs are doing and asking questions along the way to ensure they get great care. We know they are in good hands and trust her fully!”

“Zoe was professional and communicative, and our dog, Nyx, warmed up to her immediately. We're very happy with the care she provided and would definitely recommend her to care for you pups.”

“Sydney was fantastic! She stayed at our apartment over a weekend to care for our dog. She sent pictures all weekend and was very responsive. This was our first time having someone do in-home pet care for us and we felt completely comfortable in her hands. I highly recommend her for in-home pet care!”

“Uma asked thoughtful questions about my pup's care when we first met that let me know my pup was in good hands. She took good care of my pup and provided a lot of updates and photos that helped put my mind at ease while traveling.”

“Kyle took wonderful care of our dog Ollie. Ollie had a last minute injury and Kyle followed all of our requests and provided frequent updates and pictures. Our home was in great shape and we had a happy pup when we returned home. We will definitely reach out to Kyle for future needs. Thank you Kyle!”

Jess took such good care of our little Toby that we didn’t have to worry at all during our week long vacation. She even shoveled when it snowed, without our asking — and took Toby on a field trip to Petsmart to try on harnesses. Jess feels more like a dog nanny than a dog babysitter. Can’t thank her enough!

Our 10 yr old mini labradoodle Sam took an instant shine to Zoe and at his age he sometimes can’t be bothered! 😁 Zoe was very communicative and sent us multiple pictures even though she only stayed with him a short time. Would highly recommend her and will definitely look to use her the next time we need someone to house sit Sam
Alexi is amazing! She is very kind and my dog Maddie was enchanted the first time they met! Alexi took care of my Coton Maddie for four days in my home. I felt so calm when I was away from the messages Alexi was sending to me! She came early before I left and stayed until the minute I got home. She has so much experience and has her own little dog Tuffy. I was so fortunate that she was available after graduating from College! I cannot express how thoughtful and calm she is with my dog and how well Maddie was taken care of! Joanne
Katherine is amazing, she gave me daily updates about Tina’s activities while I was away. Tina had just gotten surgery a week before and she took great care of her giving her pain meds and following all the instructions. I feel blessed Tina was able to spend time with a pet lover that was attentive to detail.

She was the best !! Very responsive, professional, clean, and most importantly took the best care of our girl Uma. She stayed 4 days at our place while we were on vacation, walked Uma a ton, gave her her meals and meds on time, and kept us updated with great photos and videos. Thanks so much Caroline!
