“Emily is a very trustworthy sitter who took great care of my Effy. She is a timely communicator and took down a detailed account of her time with my pet (as Effy is a struggling with a health issue), which I greatly appreciated. On time, and flexible.”
“Andrea did a phenomenal job! She has exceptional communication skills. I was constantly updated with great pictures of my happy pups. She spent plenty of time with them. She went above and beyond to ensure they were well taken care of and loved. I am always a bit nervous leaving Teddy and Ace for several days but she made it a seamless vacation. I am confident your pets will be in good hands! I would recommend Erika to anyone.”
“Andrew did a great job with my pooches. I think they didn’t even miss me after three days being gone. He was very quick to respond and was great with the communication. The dogs instantly took to him when they met him. Would definitely use his services again.”
“Jacob watched our dog while we were away on a trip to Europe, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Our dog can be anxious around new people and dogs, but Jacob was patient and took great care of her. We came home to a happy dog and spotless home. Highly recommend!”
“Lauren is an awesome pet sitter. Awesome doesn’t even begin to describe them. Lauren came in short notice while we were out of town during an emergency. They were able to not only take care of our puppy but our very socially picky cat. Salem really took onto Lauren which rarely happens with him. Lauren’s communication was great and photos were sent daily. I would trust Lauren to pet sit anytime and honestly to any of my friends.”
“We couldn't be happier with Alexa's care for our rescue dog, Jazzy. From the very beginning, Alexa demonstrated her professionalism and genuine love for animals by taking the time to meet Jazzy before the actual sit. This pre-meet was great in helping Jazzy and us get more comfortable. During the meet and greet, Jazzy, in her true rescue dog fashion, discovered her "bark," but it didn't faze Alexa one bit! She handled it with complete calm and understanding, which truly put our minds at ease. Alexa was prompt, communicative, and professional throughout the entire sit process. We wouldn't hesitate for a second to hire Alexa again to watch Jazzy. We're even hopeful that, when Jazzy is ready, Alexa will be the one to take her on walks! Thank you, Alexa, for providing such wonderful and stress-free care.”
“Stephanie pup sat and house sat for us while we were out of town for over a week and she was FANTASTIC every step of the way. She came over to meet our two pups and they instantly connected, even our doggo who’s a bit of a scaredy cat loved her instantly. We explained the flow of a typical day before we left, and throughout the trip we never for a second worried that Stephanie needed extra reminders or pings. Stephanie sent us regular updates and pics of the pups as they explored the neighborhood on their leashed walks. Stephanie was also very clean and treated our place with a ton of respect - we’d had the place cleaned before we left and it looked even cleaner and tidier when we got back. Overall we were really happy with Stephanie, who helped us out immeasurably while also juggling her work. Our pups were well taken care of, our place was looked after, and I honestly can’t remember another trip we took where we didn’t have to worry at all about how our girls were doing, and we have Stephanie to thank for that!”
“Colin watched our pup over the holiday weekend and stayed at our place. He was on time, extremely caring, clean, super responsive and communication was great. We will definitely use him again and highly recommend!”
“Lisey felt comfy and safe enough with Amy to snooze for much of the time, which says a lot for an anxious dog (and is great for an anxious dog parent to hear). I would absolutely recommend Amy and book her again.”
“Hanna is fantastic! She took such good care of our two dogs and our home while we were away. She is very communicative and sent us photos and messages with updates every day. We've already booked a second dog/house sit with her for a few weeks out!”
“Jo was great!! She was very communicative and took great care of our little Josie. This was our first time leaving our 3 month old puppy for the night and Jo made us feel so comfortable. We will definitely be using Jo again!! 🙂”
“We just returned home from a weekend away where Sydney house-sat our Dee Dee, and have nothing but great things to say about the experience! Sydney left numerous notes and photos, and we came home to a very happy doggle; she also took great care of the house. So 5-stars for Sydney: she’s definitely a Rover superstar!!!”
“Isabella did a fantastic watching my pup. She gave me several updates throughout the day, asked questions when needed, left my home spotless, and was super attentive to my dog. She spent practically the entire time at my place and anytime she had to briefly leave, she let me know. I highly recommend her!”
“Terrific communicator and incredible with dogs! Great vibes all around and really appreciated all the updates and pics sent throughout the experience. Highly recommend Ismy and will absolutely use again in the future.”
“Monse was great! Astro has separation anxiety and she made sure he felt comfortable even with us gone. She sent lots of photos and updates too. She was very thoughtful and attentive and I would absolutely have her back!”
“Adam was prompt, friendly, and loved our pups (a sentiment they returned). He took great care of them and we had no worries about leaving them in his care for our week-long trip out of town. He is reliable and gives timely information. We will definitely hire him again.”
“Sofia is a fantastic pet sitter! We felt super comfortable with her in our home and caring for our 2 dogs. She stayed in contact with us throughout our trip and the pups were well cared for! Will book again!”
“Serena was a great sitter for our zoo. She was very attentive to their needs, gave us multiple updates with photos per day, and let us know anything and everything that was going on with them. She took great care of our house while we were gone and went above and beyond leaving it in the ideal condition for us returning from vacation. We would absolutely book with Serena again and our animals would look forward to it.”
“Sarita was attentive and went above and beyond!”
“Wafae was amazing! She cared for both my dog and cat for nearly two weeks and I came back to a clean home and happy pets. Great communication and helped me out with a last min request that I’m eternally grateful for. Thank you, Wafae!!”

Hanna is fantastic! She took such good care of our two dogs and our home while we were away. She is very communicative and sent us photos and messages with updates every day. We've already booked a second dog/house sit with her for a few weeks out!
Olivia V. did an amazing job caring for our dog Scout and our home. For a few days after I got home, Scout sat looking out the front door looking for Olivia. It was heart-warming. She did such a good job keeping me posted with daily pics and videos and the house was it good order, I’ve booked Olivia again in August.
Houston stayed with our 2 pups for a long hot and stormy weekend! She sent pics of daily walks, playtime and sitting for more treats! The pups were happy and the house was tidy when we arrived home. Will definitely book again.
Sophie was great with my kitten while i was away for several days. She was easy to communicate with and sent lots of pictures and videos while I was away, which I appreciated. I would book with her again.
Cate was a fantastic dog sitter for our two small dogs. She sent constant updates so I knew they were in good hands! She checked in when she had any questions and also left the most thorough review when she left. She also did her laundry and took out the trash, so not only did she provide the best dog care, she was also so respectful of our house and left it so clean! I’d highly recommend.
Michelle took great care of my dog and our bearded dragon! I appreciated the regular updates and photos ☺️
Mallory is great! Very communicative, took wonderful care of our dog, and would definitely recommend!
Jo was great!! She was very communicative and took great care of our little Josie. This was our first time leaving our 3 month old puppy for the night and Jo made us feel so comfortable. We will definitely be using Jo again!! 🙂
Monse is a very kind person who kept me updated about my dogs during my absence. She was on time and very communicative.
Gabe had spectacular communication, and absolutely spoiled our kitties! We loved getting photo updates through the day as well.
Bailey was so attentive to our dogs and kept my plants and veggies alive and well too! She sent great pictures showing how relaxed and happy our dogs were, and she kept us informed of anything out of the ordinary. The yard was also picked up, the dishwasher had been run, and while it was clear our pups missed us, it was evident that they were tremendously well cared for in our absence.
Connie was amazing!! We have two cats, an adult and a younger cat. They’re both pretty social and nice, but one of them has medical issues that require medication that she doesn’t like and Connie did GREAT. She was communicative and capable, not to mention really comfortable with them! They warmed up to her so fast. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Olivia was attentive, punctual, and communicative. I felt at ease having her housesit for 4 nights. She did great with my senior dog who has joint issues & needs more attention. Highly recommend!
Lou took great care of our two dogs and our home! From our first meeting, I could tell she would be a good fit for our reactive dachshund. Lou was very calm and patient with him as he adjusted to her. She made it an easy choice for us! While we were away she snugglec our spoiled babies, stayed in touch & sent photo updates of the dogs to us- we really appreciated it! We arrived home to a very clean home and very happy dogs. I highly recommend Lou for your pet sitting needs. She is so sweet, responsible & trustworthy! We feel so lucky to have found her!
Angelina was great! Stayed home with my very fireworks-adverse dog during hectic 4th of July weekend and place was in great shape when we got home. Will definitely be asking her to watch Earl again!
Marny was incredibly loving with our pups and took great care of our place while we were away! She is a true animal lover and we left town knowing the dogs were in great hands. Also very communicative throughout the process and took the extra step of coming over a meet and greet before we booked. Thank you, Marny!
Adam was prompt, friendly, and loved our pups (a sentiment they returned). He took great care of them and we had no worries about leaving them in his care for our week-long trip out of town. He is reliable and gives timely information. We will definitely hire him again.
Wafae was amazing! She cared for both my dog and cat for nearly two weeks and I came back to a clean home and happy pets. Great communication and helped me out with a last min request that I’m eternally grateful for. Thank you, Wafae!!
2nd house sitting at ours with Victoria and as usual - it went great! She came on time and stayed with Socks while we’re out of town.. and Socks loved seeing her again which is always a good sign as she’s normally wary with strangers! She respected our home and left it in clean condition, and communicated with us throughout and sending photos. Thanks Victoria!
We all love Lauren--humans and cats alike! She stayed in our condo with cats for 5 days. She exudes a pet-friendly calm, and charmed our two cats immediately. She is also fantastic at communicating, and sent lots of photos and videos, along with a question about behavior. And she left not only cats but our home was neat and tidy. We highly recommend her!
