Emerson was an amazing sitter for our two girls. I got daily updates, came home to a clean home and didn’t worry one bit while we were away. We came home to two very happy doggos and will definitely book again. Thank you for taking such good care of our girls and making it so easy to enjoy our vacation. We appreciate you!

Biiftuu was an excellent dog sitter. She clearly took good care of my little Aussie poo. She sent good pictures and left the house in excellent shape. I would hire her again.

My animals (2 dogs and a crabby cat) loved Carolyn. In fact she came over a few days after I returned and the were so excited to see her. They definitely got a lot of attention. She sent lots of pictures which I really appreciated and communicated everyday on how their day was going. I appreciated her taking good care of my fur babies.

Kendra was amazing! She stayed at our house with our two dogs. She sent lots of pics and updates and was able to walk them at the same time (they’re 50 lbs and 90lbs). The house looked great when we got home and the dogs were happy. Could not recommend her more!

Sammie did a great job watching my two big dogs (130 lbs bullmastiff and 75 lbs goldendoodle) for the weekend! She sent great updates with pictures and even took them to the dog park which looked like they had a blast! She cleaned up after herself and left the house in good shape. Would definitely have her back to watch the pups again!

We couldn’t be happier with the care our 8-month-old puppy received! From the very beginning, Carolina was professional, kind, and incredibly attentive to our pup’s needs. They took the time to learn about our puppy’s routine, preferences, and quirks, making sure she felt comfortable and well cared for while we were away. Communication was outstanding—we received regular updates, photos, and even little videos about our pup’s day, which gave us such peace of mind. Carolina was engaging with her, providing plenty of playtime, cuddles, and structured care. We came home to a happy, well-exercised, and relaxed puppy, which speaks volumes about the level of care she received. We would absolutely trust Carolina again and highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a responsible and loving dog sitter. Thank you so much!

Grace stayed with my fur-babies a second time - each visit braving the ice and winter snow storms! I appreciated the consistency. She was willing to coordinate pet pick-up with my neighbor since we had to leave at 5am. I know 3 walks a day can be a lot, but they were happy and healthy when I got home and I didn’t have to worry while on vacation out of state. It’s always so clean when I get home, too, exactly how I left it. Grace is the best!

Olivia is a gem. She stepped in to pinch-hit after a non-Rover sitter had to leave early, and dealt with a messy house (teen sitter left quite a disaster in his wake!), untended critters, an uncertain ETA, and an unexpected medical situation with grace and care. 10 out of 10. Would recommend. Definitely hitting her up the next time I have to be away.

Connie was amazing! She was very thorough with our meet and greet. My animals also instantly loved her and felt comfortable with her which is especially rare for my dog. My dog usually needs to be coaxed to eat special food while I’m gone but she went straight for her dry kibble shortly after Connie got there. She’s a true animal lover :)

Leaving our energetic standard poodle with Jessica felt like we were leaving him with a close friend. We were away for two weeks and we didn’t worried about him once. Jessica kept in touch just the right amount and from her texts and photos we could see that Charley was get plenty of exercise and love and he likes a lot of both. We and Charley look forward to having her dog sit again.

We met up before my trip and the dogs loved her instantly. This is impressive because one is shy and the other tends to ignore anyone without a treat or toy. I was able to enjoy my trip without stressing about the pups all weekend and she sent daily photos of my babies. She even let them snuggle with her on the couch at night. :)

Emily was an amazing care taker for my dogs. They are a little extra, like most dogs are lol. And she took good care of them and all their quirks. She communicated often, sent photos and videos and walked and cuddled them like they were her own. I recommend her for the care of your fur babies and hope to have her again in my home to stay with Otis and Myla 🐶❤️

Rachel took care of our two pups and cat for a little over a week, and because we’ve hired her now several times, I didn’t worry at all - even when there were some tummy problems, I knew she’d take the best care. Our pets are super sweet and gentle and the extra TLC she provides is exactly what they need!

Finding dog care is usually stressful in itself for us. But a family emergency required us to leave town on relatively short notice, that stress was multiplied. I work from home so our two dogs are used to having someone around most of the time. One is also a bit high-maintenance—slow to warm up to strangers, needs medication, requires frequent potty breaks, and has some incontinence issues (diapers!) due to said meds. Stephanie made the experience as worry-free as possible. She responded quickly to our booking request, and her calm, confident demeanor during the initial meet-and-greet immediately put us at ease. While we were away, she provided frequent updates and photos, giving us peace of mind that our dogs were in great hands. We came home to a clean house and two happy, well-cared-for dogs. I truly appreciated Stephanie’s care and professionalism during a difficult time for our family. While the cost of having someone stay in your home can sometimes feel like a luxury, she gave us one less thing to worry about when we needed it most—and made her stay worth every penny.

Yet another wonderful experience with Sarah staying at my home with my dog and my cat! Sarah was communicative as always, and asked great questions to clarify their specific care needs so she could make sure the routines for both kitty and pup were addressed perfectly. Loved Sarah's daily updates with the photos and cute activities the pets got up to while I was away! Looking forward to the next time we can have Sarah pet-sit again!
