“We booked Emily for house and dog sitting while we were on vacation. She did an excellent job of taking care of our dog and kept us updated regularly with pictures during our vacation. She took good care of the house too. We can highly recommend her, and would definitely use her again.”
“Mallory did a wonderful job house sitting for us and watching our pup!! She took incredible care of everything and sent great updates! She was very flexible and so easy to communicate with and very responsive!”

“Danielle house sat and cared for our pup Stella while we were out of town for 3 nights. She was an excellent sitter! She communicated often, keeping us updated on how Stella was doing throughout the stay. Danielle was also very respectful of our home and left everything clean. We would absolutely let Danielle sit for us again! Thank you Danielle for caring so well for our pup!”

“Amanda is incredible. INCREDIBLE. You hear me? You cannot get a better pet sitter. Stop looking, and just book Amanda if she’s free. We’re pretty sure our pets will be sad we are back and that she’s not coming to hang with them!”

“Margaret was extremely communicative and provided detailed updates and lots of pics. A bit of a hiccup with getting her into the building but she was understanding thankfully! Will plan on using her whenever I'm out of town.”

“Kate was wonderful with my Ivy! I contacted her last minute when another pet sitter fell through and she was so quick to help. She even met me the morning I was heading out to chat, go over everything for Ivy, and meet her to make sure everyone was comfortable. Ivy is a bit more medically complex with her chronic enteropathies and Kate did a great job managing her diet and medications. I would absolutely use her again.”

“Victor did great sitting for Ellie, kept her company all day, listened to her needs, gave her food and her medicine. Would absolutely book him again in the future!”

“Sidney was so gentle and loving to our shy kitty! Bambino took to her immediately and when we came home, he was a happy clam as if we hadn’t even been away! We would 100% recommend her and will be booking her again for our future getaways 🥰. Thank you so much, Sidney!”

“Bridget was so great with our two girls! We are new to Rover and Bridget and she put us and our dogs at ease! The girls had a wonderful weekend with her. We were lucky to have Bridget take such great care of them.”

“Thane is so communicative and caring. Did a great job with my senior dog, Toast and sent lots of photos and updates. Thane is very responsible and responsive and did a great job pet and house sitting. I’ll definitely use em again!!!!”

“So sweet! We were very lucky to have them try their hardest with Kisses, even if Kisses was not happy to have anyone in her space! I really appreciated that they keep me updated and stayed in contact. They were very easy to talk to and left my house clean.”

“Brittany has been walking our pups and house sitting for the last year and a half and she is simply the best! We have a large, energetic dog and a tiny, yippy-yappy dog; she handles them both so well. When our big dog got scared during a thunderstorm, she wrapped him in blankets and snuggled with him to calm him down. She is responsive, reliable, and friendly. We are sad to leave C'ville because it will be hard to find another sitter like Brittany!”

“Cindy was wonderful. She took excellent care of our senior cats while we were away for the holidays. Kind, thorough, and very communicative, we knew she was taking great care of them so we could relax on our travels. Very grateful for that! Recommend Cindy highly!”

“Jamie was so great with our Claire! Claire is a bit shy around new people but I think she was on Jamie’s lap before we were out of the area! We would love to have her stay with our four legged child again.”

“Emma is an awesome sitter! She went above and beyond to make sure our pup was well taken care of. She is really sweet and caring, we would rebook with her in a heartbeat!”

“Really prompt and super understanding with some last minute issues. Dogs were perfectly content and the house was exactly as I left it. Would def recommend Alex!”

“Sarah was great! Very communicative and our dog seemed to really love her. It’s super comforting knowing our fur baby is being well taken care of and loved!”
