1. Bianca G.
“Bianca came through for us and saved the day when our sitter became ill and was not able to get to our fur babies . We are in Italy and imagine waking up to a text at 3am saying “ I can’t make it over tonight “ I left messages for people who I knew would be comfortable attending to them as one is a HUGE big baby but sounds like he will eat you alive if you enter the house . I then threw it out to a Few sitters on Rover and Bianca answered , worked with me on my needs and went promptly to see our crew . She took pics and even our shy little Pom seemed to like her . Our boys were happy and she made me feel a lot better . I am very happy to know I have someone else to contact to help with our babies . I can not thank her enough ! Truly …”

“Doc (Kris) is seriously next level as a human being. I was honored and excited when she asked me to write a quick testimonial for her on here. Buckle up though because there’s nothing quick about all I could say on her behalf. She has been my Dad’s heart doctor for a few years now. One time when he was admitted to the hospital she even went to his house since he lives close by to her office ( I live out in NJ with my wife and young kids which as you can imagine is extremely difficult to coordinate). She really helped him and our family out a lot by taking his dog Ringo out for walks and kept him and his cat fed and healthy on her own time like on lunch breaks and before/after work since he lives close by to her main office. She really goes above and beyond for everyone. Definitely few and far between to know people like her . We feel so lucky to have her in our lives on so many levels. Truly a genuine caregiver in every way. She’s the best! (Pro tip: don’t let her know if you smoke because she WILL eventually wear you down to quit. Almost 4 months cigarette free for me now though!)”
3. Kathy T.

4. Steven & Claudia L.
“Steven & Claudia are the best! They genuinely care about my furbabies, have excellent communication, send lots of photos and updates, and leave my home neat and tidy. I highly recommend them!!!”
5. Jen N.
“Jen is awesome, and our cat, Bat, really warmed up to her. He can be a bit reserved, but Jen was able to get him out of his shell. She sent us videos everyday, and we could tell that she took incredible care of Bat. Definitely would recommend and rebook. Thanks, Jen!”
6. Heather R.
“Heather was absolutely wonderful with our dog and extremely communicative throughout all of her visits. We will definitely be using her services again in the future and can’t recommend her enough.”
7. Amber S.
“Took care of our house and our baby perfectly! We always love updates and Amber was on top of that the whole weekend. Complete with pictures ☺️ Highly recommend booking for her for your next walk or pet-sit needs!”
8. Lindsay P.
“Lindsay was wonderful and helped me out by house sitting at last minute. Would recommend!”
9. Jeremy B.
“Jeremy has always had a love for animals. He is a very responsible and caring young man who has a wonderful work ethic. I believe he would be a wonderful asset and loving dog caregiver.”
10. gianna d.
“I call Gianna whenever I’m going out of town for any amount of time. She always makes time to be available and my dogs love her. She interacts so well with both dogs and my cat. When she pulls up to the house they can barely contain their excitement. She’s reliable, she always keeps me informed of everything going on at the house while I’m away, and she sends me photos and updates throughout each day. When she does over night, you’d barely know she was there, and my pets are always happy and healthy when I get home. I recommend her to anyone I come across and everyone I know utilizes her. Love her!! ❤️”
11. Patty B.
“Patty is an animal lover! She stops to pet and talk to every dog she passes. There is no one better to care for your pet.”
12. Matt S.
“I needed a house and dogsitter for a week with very short notice due to a death in the family. Matt came over within 14 hours of me reaching out. He stayed at my house and took care of my two dogs for 8 days. He left the house exactly as I did. He sent me multiple photos and updates each day and was good to my dogs. Appreciate it.”
13. Nancy P.
“Nancy took such great care of our two pups and our house. We were in regular contact with her while we were gone and she sent us several "pupdates" to let us know Sophie and Loki were happy. We'll definitely be rebooking her for future vacations and will recommend her highly to our friends who are looking for a dog sitter.”
14. Melanie M.
“Highly recommend! It takes a leap of faith to have someone stay in your home but Melanie was super transparent and communicative. She reached out when things weren’t going perfectly so we could come to resolutions together, which really built trust. Our lil doggo was happy and healthy when we got home after 9 days.”
15. Brandon C.
“Brandon was fantastic! He watched our dog at our house while we were away for 5 days. He sent lots of photos and updates, and he also asked questions about our dog’s routine and behavior to make sure she was doing ok. We will definitely contact him again next time we’re looking for a dog sitter!”
16. Francesca L.
“Francesca took great care of our senior dog who is on multiple medications. She was kind, punctual and responsive! We look forward to Francesca taking care of our pup again.”

“Pauline is so phenomenal with my dogs. She sent me multiple photos and videos, which I absolutely love. She is patient and caring with them. She is also very responsive and attentive to detail. This is my second time using her for dog sitting and I hope to be able to use her again for dog sitting needs.”
19. Garrett F.
“Garrett was so wonderful! My girl loved him immediately and I left knowing she was in incredible hands. Garrett was so responsive and asked such great questions to make sure all information was covered. I will definitely book again!”
20. Kav R.
“I was happy to meet Kav and felt really good about leaving her to house sit with my socially anxious pup, Zoie. Zoie warmed up to Kav surprisingly quickly which was a relief! Kav is obviously comfortable and experienced with dogs and I will definitely be reaching out to utilize her services again.”
