5. Darriell M.
“Darriell stayed at my house for 1 week to look after my 85lb pit mix, Judah. Judah needed to be given medication twice a day, have probiotics sprinkled on his food every morning, and is aggressive towards other dogs. Darriell handled EVERYTHING perfectly. She took Judah on 2 walks every day, and had no issue with his meds or probiotics. She kept me up to date every day and went adorable pictures of my fur baby. She was extremely communicative and responsible. If I wasn’t moving to another state, I would DEFINITELY hire Darriell every time I needed a dog sitter. Highly recommend.”
6. Mary Kay G.
“Mary did a fantastic job with our 1yr old cattle dog and 11yr old cat. She stayed at our house for five days and checked in frequently. She took great care of them, and also went above and beyond. She cleaned the sheets, tidied the house, made us dinner and dessert to come back to, and even bought flowers. We will definitely be going to her first for dog/cat sitting for any upcoming trips.”
7. Gwenyth H.
“I’ve had Gwen take care of my cat for drop ins and house sitting. She is the best. My cat loves her. I can go on holidays and have no worries knowing that Gwen is taking care of her. Thanks Gwen for your help.”
8. Karley M.
“Karley did a great job watching Beckett! We’ve never left him with someone on Rover before but she was very communicative and sent us lots of pictures. He also never eats when we’re gone, but he was eating within a day with her so she’s definitely doing something right!”
9. Callie B.
“Callie was amazing! She made sure that my baby was taken care of and went above and beyond! I will definitely be using her in the future when I need a sitter!!! I’d give her 100 stars if able!!”
10. Carlos P.
“I cannot recommend Carlos highly enough as a pet caregiver. He is one of the kindest individuals I know and has an incredible love for all animals. His own dog is a testament to his care—well-behaved, happy, and deeply loved. Recently, I lost one of my fur babies, and my other pup has been grieving the loss. Carlos, in his thoughtful and compassionate way, brought his dog over for a playdate to cheer up my pup. It made a world of difference. His genuine care, reliability, and understanding of animals make him an outstanding choice for any pet caregiving needs.”
11. Lauren W.
“Lauren was fantastic with watching my dog Jack. She was super helpful in explaining the app and what her schedule was for the in house sitting. She took him to the dog park and on walks constantly and always provided pictures and updates. Will absolutely be booking Lauren again in the future”
12. Deepika D.
“Deepika is absolutely wonderful; and genuinely cares about all the pets. She goes above and beyond the duties of a sitter, she has helped train Maxie our golden, kept an eye on him when he's not been too well, and even took him to the vet when we couldn’t, she is now a part of our lives. Thank you!!!!”
13. Preeti P.
“Preeti looked after my furry friends with so much enthusiasm and compassion. She always puts in that little bit extra with them, cleaning up after them, socialising and training Spark while he is being walked and making sure they get lots of affection. I would happily refer her to everyone and wish her awesome career ahead!!!”
14. Joleen L.
“My dogs and I love Joleen! I have 4 dogs and a few cats and she has always done a very good job, sends updates, pictures and even helped with medications and at home care. She keeps the house clean and will even clean up for you! Very reliable, has made time for us last minute. I have a deaf dog she is very good with! If my Aunt isn’t available then Joleen is my only go too and only one I trust.”
15. Leslie H.
“This was our first time hiring a house sitter, and Leslie was amazing. During our 2 week vacation, she took great care of Harvey & Artemis and sent regular updates with pictures. Returning home, our houseplants are in excellent shape (no over or under watering) and the house was in tip-top condition. She is also just a wonderful human being. I would highly recommend Leslie, and I would definitely hire her again.”
16. Cydnie S.
“Cydnie is awesome! I will most definitely use her again. She communicates making you comfortable knowing your home and dog are taken care of while you are away.”
17. Daniel S.
“Daniel has watched my dog Gandalf on multiple occasions. He always does such a good job making sure Gandalf is taken care of and loved! He puts in real effort and goes the extra mile spending time with Gandalf and playing with him while I'm away. Its amazing to know that while I am away Gandalf is not only being let outside and fed, but also that he has someone who cares spending time with him. I would recommend Daniel to anybody who needs someone to look after their pets.”
18. Lissa P.
“Great sitter! She was very communicative, friendly and professional. Our pets were very happy and content when we got home annnnd she left the house in better condition than we left it.”

“Victoria was amazing!! She stayed at my home with my great dane pup for a long weekend while we traveled for our children. The communication was great along with pictures of my girl, house was kept nice and she even helped me out!! I can't thank her enough for taking good care of my girl and my home.”
