“Always responsive, sends photos often, and my two kitties seem to love them! We can always rest assured that Crissy and Matt will look after our home and take good care of our cats when we travel. Thank you!”
“Taryn did a wonderful job staying with my dog Henry. She sent pictures and communicated with me often of which I like. She was very patient with him as he sometimes can bark a little too much. She was caring and left my home tidy which is important to me. I would not hesitate to have her come sit with Henry again.”
“Ava stayed with my pup and was fabulous. I received picture updates, great communication, and could tell he was a happy boy and well taken care of. I look forward to their next stay together!! Thank you so much, Ava!!”
“Lulu was terrific. My dog and I aren't apart much, so it's stressful for him (therefore, stressful for me) when I have to take a trip without him. Lulu provided regular, thorough updates with lots of photos and I can easily say this was the least anxious I've ever felt when leaving George with a sitter. George also had some unexpected medical issues arise before my trip that required some additional meds and limited activity. Lulu seems to have managed all of that really well. I'm very happy Lulu was able to pet sit for us! I also have a cat, but she hid the whole time (she hides from every human who isn't me 100% of the time), but I came home to a clean litter box, which is great!”
“Rachel watched our two dogs while we were away for two weeks in Europe. She was very responsive and took good care of the dogs and our house. Would definitely recommend her to others in need!”
“Maryn did an amazing job taking care of my 2 dogs. When we returned the dogs were happy and the house was clean and neat. She is very responsive when you contact her. Great job!”
“Erin was absolutely amazing! She came and met our dogs before our trip and took notes. We got multiple updates and photos every day we were gone which was very reassuring. She was very professional and took great care of our dogs! Highly recommend!”
“Abby is the best! Our dog and cat love her. She is an excellent communicator before and throughout the time she spent at our house. Provided us photos every day of our animals and they looked so well cared for. Left our house in immaculate condition as always. Would give her 6 gold stars if we could. Thanks Abby!!!”
“Rachel did an amazing job with our dogs. We were able to enjoy our vacation, knowing she was taking such good care of them. We got daily updates, with pictures. She gladly brought in mail and watered plants for us. She is very accommodating and fit us in to her schedule. She was able to pop in for 3 afternoons visits before her time here started when our son wasn’t able to get here during the day to let them out. We will definitely be calling her for future jobs! She’s a gem!!”
“Emily was awesome. She took wonderful care of our pups and sent a lot of fun pictures and videos. We felt free to enjoy our vacation knowing our babies were in great hands!!! We came home to happy dogs. We would definitely hire Emily again.”
“Another great service by Reed, he sends us several pictures daily of both our dogs. Keeps in touch with us and cleans up before he leaves. 5 stars all the way, already booked another set of dates with him.”
“Katherine took great care of my dog and cat while I was traveling. I appreciated the consistent updates and photos. Will definitely ask her to watch them again.”
“Randy was super nice and I think my dog might prefer all the attention he got from him over us :-) He was very dry communicative and thoughtful - we would hire again immediately.”
“Sharon is fantastic! It was my first time having someone stay in my home with my dog and, after another sitter canceled at the last minute, she stepped in and saved the day. She sent photos, communicated well and left the house looking great. It was so nice to be able to enjoy my vacation, knowing my dog and home were under such great care. I cannot recommend her enough!”
“I cannot speak highly enough of Jennifer! She house sat for my 5 mo old puppy and two senior cats, and my garden for six days, coordinating with veterinarian to deliver medical care to my sick cat and spending most of her time with my animals. She worked on training my pup and got him back into a good routine! She is super communicative and gives you the kinds of updates you want to hear about and sends lots of photos. She follows directions to a tee, so I never had to worry! She kept the house clean. I will definitely be asking for her again! 6 stars”
“Melissa was amazing!! She was super flexible with our kind of last-minute booking for a two week trip. Very responsive and sent lots of pictures we had about a seven hour time difference but I always feel like I was connected to what was going on at home! Nelson is a pretty active dog and loves to go places so I got lots of pictures of them going on really fun walks around the city!! She’s also kind of a challenging dog to walk, but I love that Melissa was up for the challenge and seem to handle it really well!! She also left our apartment very clean and took great care of all of our plants! You really get the full package with her! I will definitely be booking her in the future and recommending her to all my friends!!”
“Hannah was great! We got tons of photos throughout our trip and she was extremely communicative about what was happening at our house, why and when. We came back to the house just the way we left it. She even took care of all of our geckos as well! This was our first time using Rover and we would definitely recommend!”

We've used Mirette twice now to house-sit/dog-sit our older Westie, and she did a great job! She was great at communicating with us and was at the house the vast majority of the time with our dog, which we loved! The house was clean when we got home and we had no issues! We would recommend Mirette, and would definitely use her again the next time we travel!
I was able to book Taryn, after a short notice cancellation from my regular dog sitter. I’m very selective about care givers for my pup. Her booking schedule and positive reviews were encouraging signs that my dog, Baxter, would be cared for properly. However, after meeting her and watching her interaction with Bax, I could tell he was going to get the attention he is used to. Taryn provided daily photos of Bax and kept in communication with me on special needs, such as medicines. All to say, she was exceptional, even better than my regular sitter!!! Highly recommend her, if her schedule permits.
Kat did a great job with our potty training and teething puppy! She sent lots of pictures and updates while we were at work all day. She did some of the training we're working on. She communicated any questions she had about our puppy and handling her mischief. She even put everything in our DogLog app for us! She's coming back later this week and we're so grateful!
I recently had to go out of town for an extended business trip. Amber is always excellent with my dog start to finish! I get regular updates and photos and I can tell he was comfortable and well taken care of when I returned. I am always worried about my dog. Some might even call me a helicopter dog parent. But I find my mind more at ease when Amber watches my dog. I cannot express how thankful I am for her services and commitment to the health and happiness of my dog. Thank you, Amber!!
She was incredibly kind and attentive while taking care of our dog. Since this was our first time leaving our pup with someone else, we really appreciated how reassuring she was throughout the whole experience. She kept us updated almost the entire time we were away, sending regular messages and photos — and in the pictures he looked calm, relaxed, and very loved. It was clear that he felt comfortable and at ease with her, and she spent time playing with him and making sure he was well cared for. We’re very grateful and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring petsitter!
Aaliyah did wonderful with my older pittie when needing someone to watch her last minute. She was reliably on time for visits and took her on plenty of walks. She came by before to meet her and get to know the house. She provided timely updates and responses. Will definitely use Aaliyah again!
I was so nervous to use a petsitter that wasn’t friends or family for the first time, but Crissy made the process very easy. We had a nice meet and greet, and she patiently walked me through the ins and outs of using Rover to book (as it was all new to me). She asked good questions about the dogs’ care and kept me updated throughout her say with the pups. She completely understood how cat-like huskies can be and let the senior queen do her thing. Lilly and Sully seemed happy and well-cared for when I returned. I am planning to book with Crissy again next month!
All your gut instincts will tell you Bailee is one of the good ones and you’ll be absolutely right. After meeting her just once, we left for Aruba for a full week and I knew 100% that our two Great Pyrenees and little Pomeranian were in excellent care. I have a habit of adopting pups from tough backgrounds which means unique, nuanced personalities and Bailee handled their individual needs with total ease. This overprotective dog mom is endlessly grateful for Bailee’s incredible care. That peace of mind is priceless.
