“Kristi did an amazing job watching our four dogs for us while we were out of the country. She communicated and followed instructions perfectly. We came home to a clean house and happy pups!”

“Dane was amazing and I’m so relieved to have found such a great sitter on our first go at Rover. He’s extremely communicative and took amazing care of both our cat and dog. We received frequent updates and photos and knew both our babies were in good hands. Our dog was extremely well exercised, and Dane went above and beyond to still check in and greet our cat (while giving her space) who doesn’t do well with people. Dane also went above and beyond to leave our house neater than when he first arrived! Would highly recommend Dane, and I’m so glad to know we have a reliable, trusted sitter for future vacations!”

“Lucy stayed at our home to watch our 9-1/2 yr old golden retriever over a long weekend. She sent us wonderful photos of him on their daily walks. She took great care of him! We came home to a very calm & happy doggie. We would definitely book her again.”
“Angelique was flexible, communicative, and super loving with our dogs. She was willing to come walk/meet the dogs prior and get to know them and our house. Her messages during the trip were informative, reassuring and had pics to make it easy to know our pups were doing well. We’ll definitely be adding her to who we reach out to for future trips. Thank you!”

“Paola was great with little Beau 🐶 he loves her already! She had to be at our house crazy early in the morning, she got here a few minutes early & was wide awake and joyful…. Beau & I will invite Paola back whenever possible!!! 🐶💕”

“Josie was a great house-sitter! Very appreciative of her flexibility with scheduling, and she took great care of my dog, who’s still learning how to meet new people and be away from me.”

“Laura’s first time dog sitting for us went smoothly. This was an overnight trip. She sent us photo updates and was responsive when we texted to check in. When we got home, the house was tidy, their water bowls were filled, and Cannoli and Da Vinci were in good spirits. We’ve booked Laura for an extended stay while we’re on an international trip. Thanks, Laura!”

“Cara recently took care of Ralphie when I had an unexpected dogsitter cancellation. It was awesome that she was able to come by for a last minute meet-and-greet - Ralphie really loved her and I liked that she is punctual, accommodating, and gave regular updates. I came home to a happy dog and a clean place!”

“Rachel did a wonderful job watching my 7 year old dog Scooter and taking care of my home. She followed my instructions perfectly; developed a warm relationship with my dog Scooter; kept me updated with photos and reports; and even left me with an oil pastel sketch that captured his sweet spirit perfectly. I returned home to a clean and tidy home and a happy pup. I highly recommend Rachel as a pet sitter in your home.”

“Qishu was great with my dog! She has a hard time warming up to new people and Qishu was very patient with her and gave her lots of extra TLC. I got lots of pics and updates so I knew she was in good hands. Would definitely recommend and book again!”
“Jordan was amazing with my dogs. I have an energetic Olde English Bulldog and a big Saint Bernard that’s picky about who he trusts and she did very well with them. Took them on lots of walks outside and sent tons of cute photos while I was out. She even made an adorable hand drawn card of the two of them. I would highly recommend her if you need someone to watch your dogs at your place.”

“Diana arrived early which ended up being a blessing as we got ready to go! She did an incredible job as our dog was a bit standoffish at first. Diana quickly built a strong and trusting relationship with our pup and was very patient! Would definitely love to connect her with our dog again!”

“Salina was very punctual and communicative. She stayed at our house and took care of our senior dog and outdoor cats for 2 days and we felt totally comfortable with her making sure everyone was well taken care of!”

“Christine did exactly as requested! Our dog was not stressed when we got home which was such a relief. The house was cleaned and looking exactly the way we left it”

“Vivian was very sweet and Javi was very relaxed with her. He can be a pretty high stress dog when we are away but he seemed to have really enjoyed his time relaxing with Vivian. Thank you!”

“Nicole went beyond our hopes! Nicole regularly sent pictures and updates. We could see how happy our guy was. When we came home be was relaxed and not at all stressed from us being away (as he had been after other sitters). Nicole followed all instructions to care for our guy was is a little high maintenance due to back trouble. Nicole discovered his favorite games and even gave him a nice brushing at the end of their time together. We were so pleased and would love to have Nicole come back!”

“Johnatan took care of my dog for 2 weeks. He’d feed her and walk her twice a day. He was always respectful and kept me posted about my dog’s activities. He washed the linens before departing and even gave my dog a quick bath (he forgot the blow-drying part though). As much as I’d like to give him 5 stars, there’s still room for improvement as he forgot to leave the sliding door open for the dog to go outside leading to the dog peeing and popping inside of the house. He sometimes took 8+ hours to get back home and a couple of nights he wasn’t able to return at all and my dog slept alone. The latter due to he working part time at a place located 1 hr away from our home. Overall, a thrustful boy who just needs to get more experience.”

I had a fantastic experience and highly recommend Patrice! She was incredibly communicative and sent great pictures, which really put my mind at ease. Not only did she take wonderful care of my dog, but she also took great care of the house. The entire process was so easy and stress-free. I will absolutely be using her again!

Nicky did an amazing job watching our senior greyhound. She was incredibly communicative throughout, and was on time and reliable. Our dog takes multiple medications daily and has a complicated dinner process, but Nicky had no problem handling it. We came home to a spotless house and happy hound. Definitely will be using her again.

We couldn't have asked for a better house sitter than Korin! She took wonderful care of our two dogs and our cat while we were away. She followed every instruction we left, kept us updated with great communication, and left our home spotless. What really stood out was how attentive and proactive she was. She noticed that our Chihuahua was rubbing her eye, recognized that it might need medical attention, and took her to the vet without hesitation. It gave us tremendous peace of mind knowing our pets were in the hands of someone who genuinely cared about their well-being. We would absolutely recommend Korin to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and responsible house sitter. We wouldn't hesitate to have her stay with our pets again!

Brady was awesome! From the beginning he was a quick and easy person to communicate with, and arrange the meet/greet. He took amazing care of Winston as when we walked in after our trip, Winston was happy and healthy. He updated us everyday and sent pictures/video. Winston needed some ear meds while we were gone which is no easy task and he had the patience and made it happen. He also left the house in the same manner in which he found it which was super respectful and kind. We highly recommend Brady and look forward to having him take care of Winston again in the future. Thank you Brady!!

Dionna took great care of our 2 girls and our home. Dionna was incredible with her communication leading up to the house sitting and making sure she had all the care instructions down to the little details. The girls were happy and at ease while we were away for a week. The house was spotless when we returned. Highly recommend Dionna!

Sara took on a last minute sit to watch my two dogs. She met us the day before. She is very warm, communicates well, and I could tell right away that she is good with dogs! My puppy can be challenging since he has a lot of energy and hides when it’s time to walk but she was able deal with his quirks. She sent photos daily which I loved getting. She did a great job and I would definitely recommend her!

Victoria is absolutely wonderful. She house sat for our sweet 9.5 year old pup. We could not be happier. Her communication was excellent. Tons of updates and photos. Our house was impeccable when we returned. Most importantly our dog was healthy and happy. It’s clear that Victoria gave her tons of love while we were away. Highly recommended.

Jana did such a great job visiting and caring for my two kitties. She takes great photos which is very soothing when you’re missing your fur babies. She was consistent and great with communication. And she did great at connecting with my kitties. I will definitely hire her again!
