1. Nicholle D.

“We booked Nicholle for a one-night stay with our pups and really appreciated that she was available last-minute! She sent plenty of photo updates and kept us in the loop, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Thanks again for helping out on short notice!”


2. Meng W.

“Thank you Meng. We were very happy, your attention to detail, following our instructions and caring for our baby. We appreciate your kindness and communication throughout the days and picture updates. We felt comfortable having you in our home and we will definitely book you again.”


3. Mickie S.

“Mickie was great! It was apparent from the first time she met my pets that she was the right fit for us! I always notice when I return from traveling if they were well taken care of, and it was very obvious that they were! She sent me pics of them while I was away as well. I highly recommend and can't wait for her to come back!”


4. Sophie L.

“Sophie was better than we could have expected! We have a very anxious, reactive and very active gsp and she was incredible with our pup. She sent us texts and photos throughout the day and kept our house perfectly clean. She is also such a sweet kind person and we feel so lucky to have found her. We will definitely be using her again and again!”




5. Margaret B.

“Once again, Margaret was amazing! This time around she also took care of a new foster puppy we got unexpectedly. He is a tripod and also has a bad back leg. His motility was very limited but Margaret handled it like a pro! She also stays at our place until our flight actually lands instead just sticking to a written schedule. That means so much to us because flights can be delayed. Thanks again, Margaret!”


6. MG G.

“MG was an amazing sitter! She was super friendly and our dogs were super comfortable with her right away as she approached them warmly. She was super responsible as well and followed our instructions to the letter. MG also gave our dogs enriching activities and played with them, and sent us photo updates throughout the session. Thank you MG for treating our pups so well!!”


7. Kate C.

“I cannot praise Kate enough for the amazing care she gave my pets. I have a dog with seizures that she was diligent about medications are care. She made me feel completely comfortable about leaving him. We were getting married and her main concern was that we felt comfortable. I was so lucky to find her! She left our home immaculate and it was so nice to come home that way after a long day of traveling. Kate met our dog sitter needs completely and I’m already working on booking her for my next three trips!”


8. Nicholas P W.


“Nick was great with our dog! We were nervous about leaving him, he is a recent rescue, but he really took a liking to Nick. Would absolutely book Nick again.”




9. Stephanie A.


“Stephanie was the perfect sitter! She was so friendly with our dog and made us feel at ease. She was very communicative and caring. Overall can tell she’s a great human who is passionate about dogs and was respectful of our house. Would absolutely use her again!”




10. Samuel N.

“Samuel was fantastic! Elvis love him and they had a great time together. Samuel was very communicative, which I really appreciated. He sent pictures and checked in daily, but not too much. He was also honest about our pup’s witching hour when he turns into a monster, and said it was challenging but they managed through it. His honesty is refreshing and comforting. He left our house very clean and neat. He is a professional and that shows in every way. We will absolutely use him again!”


11. Lauriane B.
“Lauriane is amazing! She has come many times to take care of my dog while I was gone and he just loves her so much. She’s trustworthy, friendly, and reliable. I definitely recommend her to take care of your fur babies.”


12. Jeff T.

“Jessica is attentive, kind, and thorough. She listened carefully and treated my sweet older dog with care. She communicates well and even wrote notes about her day with my dog so she wouldn’t forget anything. Will use her services again!”


13. Lillian F.
“Lillian is a fantastic dog sitter. She has watched our pup multiple times, and each time he's had a blast. Our goof of a dog is always super excited to see her and will actively run up to greet her each time she's come by. She takes great care of him, as if he were her own pup. Look, your dog knows who is an awesome person and ours has clearly identified Lillian as one of those awesome people. She's great.”




14. Deirdra C.

“Dierdra was fabulous! Perfect in every way. She stayed with my Westie for three days, sent me pictures several times, and seemed to genuinely like Finley. I was totally confident that Finley was well cared for and got plenty of attention.”


15. Stephanie Y.

“Stephanie was a great cat sitter. She really helped us out when another Rover sitter canceled and it was getting closer to our departure. She responded immediately and we set up a meet and greet. All went well and we booked her that day. I didn't manage my time effectively and ended up leaving a small note about staying at our apartment and our cat Meka. No problem, we were able to communicate through text and she just knew what to do anyway. She sent pictures every morning and also extra ones with cute poses. I could see Meka had made a new friend. Our plane got in late and she stayed to make sure the cat was feed. Everything was in order and our plants were even taken care of. Don't hesitate book Stephanie, we would again.”


16. Elena E.

“This was my first time hiring Elena to watch my pup Winnie. She was super communicative leading up and during the time she was watching Winnie. Highly recommend her and will be hiring her again :)”


17. Celia H.

“We’re grateful to have found Celia! She watched our puppy this weekend. She was super communicative, flexible, and sent the cutest photos. We felt really comfortable leaving our little guy with her, and will definitely be reaching out in the future :)”


18. Aleesa P.

“Aleesa was a great sitter for our little puppy. She arrived on time with brought dog treats. We came home to a happy puppy and a rundown of everything that happened during the afternoon. We would definitely recommend her.”


19. Molly S.

“Molly was great with my puppy Sky, they connected immediately! She stayed at my house over New Year's Eve and made me feel totally comfortable leaving my pup for the first time overnight with someone else; grateful to have found Molly!!”


20. Hannah D.


“Hannah did a wonderful job caring for our two dogs and one cat for a week while we were gone. She was quick to respond and provided pictures and updates daily. After boarding our pets when we travel for years, we will never do that again. Hannah made a huge difference in our travel experience and we will hire her again.”
