1. Kayleigh B.

“Kayleigh was absolutely amazing to work with! She was timely, attentive & communicative. We were so at ease with her staying at our home with our pups while we were out of town. She shared daily photos and updates & was always quick to respond to any messages. She was so respectful of our home and took care of sheets, dishes and more before leaving! You could also tell the dogs were very comfortable and cuddly with her which speaks volumes. I will definitely be using Kayleigh again! We can’t thank her enough.”




2. Marlies H.


“Great experience, our two dogs seemed to have enjoyed their "vacation" as much as we did. It was great to know everything was taken care off at home. Home was also left clean and tidy.”


3. Connor G.

“If I could leave more stars, I would. The BEST Rover sitter we've ever had. He truly loved our dogs like his own, was very reliable and our house was spotless when we came home. Will definitely be using him again!!!”


4. Amy G.

“Amy was AMAZING!! We booked her to stay at our place with our two dogs. She took great care of them and our home. We truly value her and will definitely book with her again and again! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”


5. Wendy D.

“Wendy was so good about keeping us updated on the activities of our dogs with notes and pictures throughout our time away. She kept my mind at ease for one of our dogs that is older and has health issues. Also, our home was very well maintained and cared for during Wendy's time taking care of our dogs.”


6. Eliana M.

“Eliana was wonderful. We hired her for house sitting for July 4th weekend. She took care of both of our dogs (40lb and 60lb) and took them on walks, fed them and played with them in the yard each day. She even updated us with pictures and videos in the morning and at night. We were very impressed.”


7. Sasha V.

“Sasha was fantastic with our three dogs! She took great care of them and our home while we were away. The daily pictures were awesome!! Definitely recommend Sasha!”


8. Joleen F.

“We were very happy with Joleen’s care of our cat and house while we were away. She took such great care of Kit Kit who is not the most social or friendliest cat around, otherwise known as a PIA. We received picture updates and were so surprised how she had the cat eating out of her hand in no time. The house was immaculate when we returned… we couldn’t ask for anything more. You will never want to use anybody else!”


9. Andrea M.

“It may be unfair, but If I want to know if the person I am speaking to is a good person, I watch for my dogs’ reactions. Andrea was immediately accepted into the fold with no growling or suspicion. My dogs just walked right up to her and gave her love. Her personality is sunny and friendly, and I was comfortable with her with my dogs and in my home, also immediately. I got several updates in the short time she was here, and the dogs were calm when I got home having been walked, wiped and fed. Happy to have her on our team, and if she hadn’t asked for a review, I wouldn’t leave one (I’d rather keep her amazing skills at dog care to myself). Seriously though, Andrea is a wonderful choice if you need help with your babies. ☺️.”


10. Madyson H.

“Had a FANTASTIC experience with Madyson watching my two boys this week! They were so well taken care of and spoiled beyond belief! I had zero worries while I was out of town and she sent so many sweet updates! I will use her again in the future and I HIGHLY recommend her to watch your furbabies. She treats them like they are her own and they were loved while I was gone! Thank you so much!!”


11. Amy S.

“We loved having Amy tend our Ally and Lunita. When we came home, everything was in such good shape, we couldn't even tell she was here. We will definitely reach out to Amy again and again. Thank you, Amy!!”


12. Ashley D.

“Ashley was everything we had hoped for and more!! Our 2 senior brats warmed up to her! They took all their meds from her and she was very patient. We will definitely book Ashley again! Thanks so much!”


13. Toria K.


“Our babies had such a good time with Toria! We were so lucky to have them in such capable and loving care! We have two dogs that require a lot of care (one has epilepsy and the other has anxiety) and they were so lucky to have Toria there to administer medication and even help soothe my anxious girl through a thunderstorm! I think my pups are already looking forward to their next visit from Toria!”


14. Francy R.
“Alejandra loves animals, especially dogs and cats. She knows their language because she has spent time with them and has the ability to understand them, identify their needs, and care for them with a lot of love and patience. I highly recommend entrusting your beloved pets to her care.”


15. Gabbi E.

“Our fur babies loved Gabbi. She was very attentive to their needs and gave them lots of attention. She’s vet reliable.”


16. Jayne R.
“Jayne always does a great job and gives me plenty of updates. Most importantly she is so good with Magoo. He loves his snuggle time with Jayne.”


17. Cynthia B.

“Cookie (Cynthia) did an excellent job of pet sitting my two Australian Shepherds and cat. When I got home, they were calm meaning they got enough exercise. The house was as I left it, even all the dog toys picked up. She arrived promptly. After a few days, she texted me to say all's well which I really appreciated. I would definitely recommend her and I will use her again!”


18. Maria S.
About: I have taken care of dogs, cockatiel, bearded dragon and cats. I also have taken care of service dog. We had a family of elderly dogs that required lot of attention and gave us more experience. I am available in the evenings and weekends. This allows me to provide the proper care and dedication to these loyal friends that depend on me. I do have a fenced yard and ceramic floors which in case of accident is easy to clean and provide a clean environment. My neighborhood is pet friendly


19. April S.

“April, did an awesome job! Took puppies for a walk, kept us posted throughout the day and took pictures ! I was totally confident in her ability to give our dogs the best care.”


20. Elena P.
About: I’ve spent my whole life around my own pets and animals and love both dogs and cats! I’ve been taking care of mine and pet sitting for friends who went out of town for a while now. I am looking for jobs at the moment but currently have open availability! I can do weekends, weekdays, any time before midnight. Flexible and open schedule. I ensure the best safety I can by keeping all gates locked, using leashes in unfenced areas, keeping careful watch of the entering and exiting of outdoor doors and garages as necessary.
