4. Iris O.
“Iris has been dog sitting Frankie in my apartment for a while now and she’s been my first and only choice ever since day one! Frankie is a nervous dog but he immediately loved Iris and she loves him too so I feel great leaving him with her looking after him. She’s really flexible as my job as a nanny and student means my days are never the same. I recently went away on vacation and decided to have Frankie stay with Iris at her house and she’s sent so many photos and videos I can tell he’s having the best time and he’s being so well looked after! He loves being with her and it means I can feel happy knowing he’s safe and with someone who really loves him! Recommend 10000000% !!!”

11. Amanda L.

12. Mary K.
“Mary is the best. This was our third time hiring her to feed and care for our cats while traveling. We love our cats, and it used to be very stressful to leave them for more than a couple of days—for us and the cats, too—but since we found Mary, we aren't so anxious about it. Mary is always on time, sends us detailed rover cards, and our cats immediately accepted her.”

Can’t wait to rebook with Christine and would highly recommend her to anyone!”
17. Kaila S.
“Kaila was personable and really made me feel comfortable leaving Xena while I was away. She took time to get to have Xena warm up to her and I could tell a noticeable difference when I came home and Xena was not stressed from being alone because she had someone to play with/ nice company in the house with her. Thank you so much Kaila, will definitely be hiring her again- I highly recommend!!”
