Stephen was professional, punctual, thorough, and kind in all of his interactions with us and our dog. Trusting someone to come into your home, treat it respectfully, and care lovingly for your pet can be stressful and a huge leap of faith. So glad we found Stephen! Will definitely use him for future dog sitting needs.

Leilani cared for our dog and three cats over Christmas and did a wonderful job. Our dog is very elderly and has special needs, including twice-daily medication and specially-prepared food. Leilani was patient and understanding and sent regular updates, so I was able to relax and know he was in capable hands. Leilani took great care of our home and left it perfectly clean. We would happily have her back again!

Kellie has been taking care of my two cats, Louis & Cole, for the past three years, and I couldn’t be happier. Louis is very shy, and Cole is a kitten full of energy, so finding someone who could balance their different needs was a challenge—until we met Kellie. She took the time to let Louis warm up to her, and now he even curls up on her lap when she visits. Cole loves all the playtime Kellie provides, and we always come home to two happy, relaxed cats. She even waters our plants :) Kellie truly goes above and beyond.

Aimee was so wonderful with our fur baby! This was our first time using Rover and we are grateful to her for being able to care for our hyper pug last minute. She went out of her way to meet Pickles beforehand. She was attentive, sent updates, and kept our apartment tidy. Will be rebooking in the future. Many thanks again!

Kimberly was incredibly responsible and communicative. Emmy (my siamese mutt) is an excellent judge of character and when I arrived home she was in excellent spirits, having obviously received a tremendous amount of attention and love. I will absolutely be working with Kimberly again, and I would encourage you to do the same -- she's terrific!

Austin was terrific. He stayed with our cat at our house for 10 days and managed to keep this needy critter happy. He stayed in touch with pictures and updates. It allowed us to travel in comfort, knowing our “baby” was in good hands.

We are so grateful that Yaho was able to take on our booking last minute! She made the process smooth from the start, taking the time to meet with us online, ask thoughtful questions, and really get to know our dogs’ needs. During the stay, she went above and beyond—keeping their routines consistent, giving them plenty of love and attention, and sending us regular photo updates that put our minds at ease. Her communication was fantastic, and to top it all off, she even brought our trash cans back in! We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely book her again. Highly recommend!

We were so glad to find Cora, who watched our 3.5-year-old goldendoodle and 11-year-old cat while we were gone for the long weekend. She was very attentive and totally comfortable with all of the care instructions and kept them on their usual schedules while we were gone. She also kept our pup happy with frequent walks and administered his meds. She is very kind and thoughtful and it was a weight off our shoulders knowing our boys were well taken care of while we were away. She sent plenty of photo updates while we were gone and we came back to a happy dog and cat and a cleaner house than we left, which was really above and beyond. Cora is going to be our go-to and we highly recommend her.
