“I have a difficult time with leaving my animals behind when I travel but she did a great job and my animals did great with her, especially my dog. More than happy to have her as a sitter again!”
“Kara was amazing! She is super communicative and sent daily texts/pictures of the pets to let me know they were doing great. The pets took to her very quickly, even our cat who takes a week or more to warm up to someone was begging for belly rubs the first day. Thank you Kara!”
“I’ve never hired a stranger to stay in my house while I was away, so I was nervous, but Tana agreed to a meet and greet beforehand and after meeting her, I felt totally comfortable leaving the responsibility of our pets and home in her hands. She sent me pics of my dog throughout her stay and took great care of our home. I hope she enjoyed the job and agrees to come back!”
“Sydney was great with my dogs. One of them has behavioral issues and can be difficult until she warms up to people. The other is a senior dog who requires special care. Sydney was patient with them both and they were healthy and happy when I got home. I would absolutely rebook Sydney.”
“Best pet sitter ever! Benita is amazing with my pack and she took wonderful care of them. Dealt with their quirks;, provided lots of updates with pics and video, administered medications and kept them all happy and loved. Will definitely book again lots! I highly recommend her for any and all pets. She is wonderful! Came home to happy, healthy pets :)”
“She is a wonderful dog sitter! I recommend her 100% for caring for your fur babies. She is flexible with my changing schedule this few day trip. Fast communication and got many pictures and videos. She is patient and kind to my pets, trust her 100%”
“Freya was great with my two pups! She is excellent at communicating and providing updates. Our dogs were well taken care of and I didn’t have to worry once when being away. Will be booking again!”
“Erica went above and beyond for our dogs. She helped us out in a bind with a last-minute booking/availability and quickly came by to meet the pups. It was so nice to leave town for a night and not have to worry about them, and she kept us updated often with texts and pictures. Highly recommend! Will definitely be booking with her again. Thank you Erica!!!”
“Jazmine did great with my two dogs! I was in an area with spotty cell service all week and felt very comforted knowing Jazmine was caring for my dogs! She even had little report cards for them when I returned. It was so sweet!”
“My dogs love Nancy. They are excited to see her. I have three Havanese and they keep her busy. Nancy cleaned a couple of refrigerator shelves. It was unexpected but much appreciated.”
“Rinnah, was excellent with both my dogs even though one of my dogs was not able to bond with her because she needs at least 3 weeks to become friends with a stranger and on her terms. 😂 Rinnah sent me pictures and videos of my pups every day which was great to see how they were doing. I would highly recommend her to everyone who has pets.”
“Hawken was fantastic! We felt very comfortable with him and the dogs loved him. Louise, who is afraid of men, warmed up to him super quickly. Overall, we felt sure in the fact that our dogs would be well taken care of. Would recommended and would absolutely use Hawken again.”
“Maggie is awesome! She took great care of our home and dog. Plus she was super patient when we had plans change that got us back to town a bit early. We would definitely recommend!”
“Bradley did a fantastic job house and petting sitting my 2 dogs and 5 chickens. He was a good communicator and followed instructions perfectly. I highly recommend him to anyone needing a pet sitter.”
“Nancy was so great with my Pup, who needs extra care and comfort due to injury/surgery. Nancy was also excellent with communication before and during her time at my home and with Pup. I appreciate her and look forward to booking her again.”
“Zack is fantastic! He takes such good care of my dog and the house, I love having him look after stuff. When I come home the house is cleaner than when I left and my dog is so happy and relaxed. Zack knows so much about dog behavior and has helped me a ton to understand why my dog acts the way he does. It’s truly comforting to know he’s around when I can’t be!”
“Rachel took great care of my four pets for six days and did a wonderful job. She was communicative throughout the stay, sent updates, and made sure everyone was happy and well cared for. I felt comfortable knowing my pets were in good hands while I was away. I’d happily book with her again.”

Phenomenal. Rachel was an absolute blessing when all my regulars were unavailable. She was great with the dogs - including a very high energy puppy. She kept me updated regularly and was so accommodating as my plans changed last minute. It’s always a little weird to welcome a stranger into your home, but meeting Rachel the pre-visit, I knew immediately she was a kind and trustworthy person with a true love for animals.
Saved me and my fur babies ON AN HOURS NOTICE!! I had a sitter tell me they were leaving in 2 hours - and I was a plane ride away from house and pets. Melt down!! I went on Rover, told Annabella the story and she was at the house in a flash. Took excellent care of my house and my animals. Can’t thank her enough!
Katrina is the absolute best!! She always takes such great care of my dog Lilly and is so thoughtful and detail oriented. Lilly adores her, and Katraena always sends so many cute pics and videos. I have booked with her multiple times now and I always feel at ease knowing she’s watching my girl while I’m away! 10/10 recommend her
Our 3rd booking with Melody went just as great as the others! She’s responsible, communicative and very clean. Most importantly, she gives great care to our dog with plenty of attention and play, which allows us to enjoy our vacation knowing he is in great hands.
I had an emergency and had to leave town very suddenly and was not sure when I could return home. Bobby accepted my last minute request to book and she was here the next morning. Callie and Bobby’s pup got along great and I think having a 4-legged friend here helped Callie. I returned 2 days before the booking ended and Bobby was very flexible and accommodating.
Scott a reliable, mature, and caring individual who went above and beyond what was expected. He is an excellent communicator - kept us well informed with how things were going and provided daily pics and vids. He really did help ease our anxieties about leaving our fur babies. He is also a great trainer and knows his subjects well. Our pups responded to his personality in an extremely positive manner. Our shyest pup took to him faster than anyone I have seen. He took GREAT care of the pups and our house. HIGHLY recommend him. A super human!
Sarah was a wonderful kitty and house sitter. She took excellent care of our fur kids and house. She was reliable and reached out when necessary, took photos and offered updates, and expertly navigated an internet outage and first snow of the season with our tricky driveway. We are very grateful to her for her excellent and thoughtful care.
Jenelle was extremely personable, loving, and professional. We will absolutely use her to watch Hatcher and Cusco again! She was not scared off by Hatcher’s quirks and took care of him through his 4th of July firework anxiety. Thank you, Jenelle, for giving us reassurance while we were so far away.
