1. carolina g.

“Carolina gave me so many video and photo updates so I appreciated knowing how my Annie was doing! She was also flexible on times which is nice and made sure to listen to Annie’s strict food rules. She is also very understanding to Annie’s stubbornness on walks!”


2. Annie S.


“Annie is such a good human being. She's so caring and connected to animals and her spirit is so alive and engaging. Our Rey had never had a dog sitter before and I had not one worry while we were away knowing Annie was with her. Rey loves Annie!”


3. jessica k.

“Jessica is fantastic. My rather anxious dog took to her right away. I felt so at ease knowing she was watching my cats and my dog. I have nothing but good things to say about her.”


4. Connie A.


“Connie loves my dog Lady! I feel so comfortable having her take care of her and my house when I am out of town. She was great with pics, updates and check-ins. I will definitely book with Connie again.”


5. Maggie L.


“Maggie was awesome! Stayed a full seven days while we were out of the country and did an amazing job. Was communicative, responsive, and our dog, Kylie, never skipped a beat. We returned to a happy dog. Maggie went that extra mile with trash days and package pickups and the house looked great upon our return. We couldn’t be more satisfied with Maggie and look forward to booking her every single time we travel.”


6. Justine B.

“Justine was great! She came and met the animals ahead of time and was very responsive to us and our pets needs. She sent photos and we could tell our creatures were well taken care of. Thank you!”




7. Margaret T.

“Margaret was so good with my dogs. Their initial meeting went so well, and even my shy pup was cuddling with Margaret by the end of my trip. I’d definitely recommend her!”


8. Shykala B.

“This was the first time I had used Rover in a number of years and from start to finish Shykala was fantastic! Great communication - and even better with the dogs. They felt right at home with her and hardly missed me. Will definitely be using her again.”


9. Nicole P.

“Nicole was so good with Remy! She stayed in contact with us, gave us updates, and provided the reassurance that we needed to feel comfortable leaving Remy overnight. Given he can be reactive, having someone with energy that Remy aligns with is really important and Nicole has that calm, welcoming energy. I would feel so very comfortable having Nicole watch Remy any time!”


10. Cassie P.

“She is excellent! Harry was well cared for! Cassie took him out older long walks daily. Harry’s favorite activity! I Also loved all the photos Cassie sent while I was away!!”


11. Ciboney R.

“Thank you, Ciboney! We have 2 little dogs who like a lot of attention, and Ciboney gave them so much love, sent photos, gave updates and was all in all very professional and easy to work with. We will definitely contact her again in the future.”


12. Tayler G.

“Tayler is wonderful! My two pooches loved her. She did such a great job with both of their peculiarities. She took good care of Bowie with his allergies and his tendency to chew his feet. She left my house looking great! Also, her regular updates with photos made me feel so reassured that they were all doing well. I hope to keep her as my “go to” sitter!”


13. Bria M.

“Bria did an amazing job house sitting and looking after my two cats. I came home and could tell they were given a lot of attention and well cared for. She was super responsive with updates and pictures and left the house in great shape!”


14. Kimbrey & Sean M.


“Kimbrey & Sean were amazing dog sitters. They were great with my puppy who is still learning manners and also went out of their way to make sure my timid pup was comfortable. They were communicative, responsible, showed up on time, and sent lots of photos and updates. The dogs were both very happy when I came home and the house was exactly how I left it. I will be using them again and definitely recommend them as sitters.”


15. Sarah N.


“Sarah was amazing. She texted us tons of pictures and updates throughout, and stayed at our house with our pups and took excellent care of it. We would without a doubt recommend Sarah to anyone and Duke and Shiloh miss their new friend already!”


16. Rachel E.

“Rachel did an amazing job sitting our dog. This was his first time spending time with a pet sitter, and I was very happy with the outcome. Our dog is usually shy with people, but he warmed up to Rachel as soon as he met her, I think thanks to Rachel’s friendliness and easygoing manner! Rachel was also very flexible and accommodating, and sent us photo updates which I appreciated. I highly recommend Rachel to everyone, including those who have shy & timid pets.”


17. Briana G.

“Briana was fabulous! Both my cat and dog are picky eaters and Briana got them to eat. She was patient and conscientious. Originally we had booked her to just cat-sit, but our plans for our dog fell through and she gladly took on the challenge of taking care of our diabetic dog, insulin shots and all. We are so thankful for her!”


18. Stephanie W.


“Stephanie was amazing. We have 3 dogs, one who is geriatric and two adolescent Vizelas, plus 6 cats. Most need some type of medication. She handled the entire circus with ease. Stephanie is our new go to for our zoo.”


19. Madison F.

“Madison is the best!! She always arrived for her drop ins on time and sent lots of pictures, videos, and updates throughout the week so we never had to worry. We plan to book her again for an upcoming trip. Highly recommend her even for the most finicky of cats!”


20. Jaylin S.

“Jaylin was amazing with our dog Kuiper! She checked in multiple times daily as well as updated on his health. She also took the time to spend more time with him when he had some concerns.”
