1. CJ T.


“Summer was happy staying with CJ during my vacation. CJ was responsible and reliable sitter. I would highly recommend him as your dog sitter . And I’ll definitely book him again .”


2. Stephen G.

“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.”


3. Leilani L.

“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!”


4. Kellie T.
“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.”


5. Trina C.


“Trina is very calm and kind and professional! My dog Pebbles was very timid and sometimes unfriendly on this first visit and Trina was very patient, gave Pebbles her space, and kept a very positive attitude. I appreciated her efforts and understanding!”




6. Aimee H.

“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!”


7. Kimberly K.

“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!”


8. Marin H.

“Marin is such a great sitter! She watched our two dogs at our house for a couple of nights when we needed a last minute dog sitter. She sent plenty of pictures and kept our dogs happy. Will definitely be booking with her in the future!”


9. Ciara P.


“Thank you Ciara for being so wonderful to Buddy. We always appreciate the great job you do and knowing he is safe and being well taken care of.”


10. Austin S.


“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.”


11. MJ L.

“MJ was amazing. She did a great job with our girls and kept us to date the entire time. She not only did a wonderful job with our dogs, but kept our place looking great! Would defiantly recommend to anyone.”




12. Alondra M.

“Exceptional sitter with excellent communication and updates. She also went above and beyond in helping around the house”


13. Yahosca Q.

“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!”


14. Caroline W.

“Caroline was fantastic! She kept me updated with plenty of photos and videos while I was away, and my boys warmed up to her right away. Highly recommend! :)”

“Kirsten was fantastic house sitting with my sweet and occasionally anxious dog Scout! I received regular updates about her arrival, Scout’s activities, and meals which was such a piece of mind while I was away.”


16. Arianna L.

“Arianna was really receptive to Willow's needs and very communicative. We really appreciate that she went above and beyond to give Willow company and to make her comfortable. She was also a terrific and considerate house guest. We recommend her wholeheartedly to other pet owners!”


17. Susannah H.

“Susannah is a great caretaker! Milo took to her immediately and I'm sure enjoyed their daily walks.She sent daily pictures and updates which we really appreciated. We returned to a happy dog and clean home.”


18. Stephanie S.

“Stephanie was great! She was very communicative and loving toward our pup and handled his medications with ease. We would definitely recommend her to watch your pets!”


19. Cora L.

“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.”
