“Megan was the best whole caring for our 3 animals. We have a high anxiety dog and she was able to make him feel at ease and relaxed while we were away. She was communicative, sending pictures and updates and answered any questions we had.”
“Was great to be away and not worry about my cats. Lisa sent pictures regularly and the cats were clearly enjoying her presence. Would absolutely recommend her!”
“Minh was a great sitter for my two dogs. She was an excellent communicator and provided great updates during the stay. She was very detailed and thoughtful with her care of the dogs and our home. We would definitely use Minh again.”
“Ryen was great! Loved the communication and I felt like I could really trust that my pets were being well taken care of - there really is nothing better than that kind of peace of mind.”
“Destiny was very attentive to Luna’s needs and kept her company while I was gone. I received plenty of photos and updates which made me feel at ease. I would absolutely book with Destiny again!”
“Shania is the best pet sitter! She takes such wonderful care of my baby. Very reliable. Good communication. Very caring. Definitely will ask her to house sit for me again.”
“Rose watched my two cats over a 4 day period—Stayed at my house caring for them and keeping them entertained. They provided updates and lots of cute photos. I would absolutely have Rose back for cat sitting!”
“Stephanie did a great job for us. She texted every day which included many pictures. The house was in great shape and our animals loved being with her. We will definitely use Stephanie again the the future.”
“Mariana deserves 6 stars, she has set the bar very high. This was our fist experience with her and she exceeded all expectations! She is an excellent communicator and sent pictures and updates throughout the week. My pup had wonderful adventures and lots of great walks which she thrives on. In addition to giving my pup the best care, she found time to tidy up my house, which was such a great surprise when arriving home exhausted. I will definitely be a return customer for Mariana unless she is too busy after receiving this review for me to book her. She is simply the best! 🏆🥇”
“Heather was amazing!!! My friend who was supposed to watch Luke had a last minute family emergency and I had to book Heather the night before I left. My buddy is 14 this month and had a bladder infection so I was going to cancel my trip until I met her and saw how comfortable Luke was. She took such incredible care of him making sure he finished his antibiotics and got all his supplements. I loved all the updates and photos. Highly recommend Heather for a senior dog or any dog you want well cared for. Thank you for allowing me the time to be with my family and not worry about my best buddy.”
“Always the best, goes above & beyond. My elderly cat wasn’t feeling well, and she not only took him to the vet, picked him up, gave him his medicine, PLUS purchased some addl items to help him recover. The absolute best, can’t recommend her highly enough. ❤️❤️❤️”
“I booked Jaden for a last minuet weekend house sitting. Her and her boyfriend are a super cute couple and I felt instantly safe letting stay in my house and watching my babies. There were no issues and I would definitely book them again!”
“Absolutely amazing sitter! She cared about our animals and it really showed. Jade was communicative, friendly, and easy going. She kept up with the dogs schedule and even took them for a walk. They were happily tired when we got home from a long car ride. She even drew an adorable picture of them and let us know about one of our dogs seeming uncomfortably itching. Jade left the house clean and tidy. Will use her again, for sure!”
“Brooklyn was our first Rover experience, she did a meet and greet in advance with our house and pets. A month later, Brooklyn bonded with our brood during the first day, sent lots of pictures and updates during our trip. She was very thorough with her caretaking and left our home exactly as she found it. I would highly recommend Brooklyn for cats and dogs (oh and she fed the hummingbirds for us too)!”
“Great guy who helped me in a pinch! Very accommodating and offered other ways to help me. Would recommend him, and plan on getting his help again for my little doggo! Thanks so much”
“Andrea is amazing! She went above and beyond taking care of our pups and home. She took them on walks, spent quality time with them, kept us very well updated and even cleaned up our house. We and the pups will be excited to have her back for our next trip!”
“Once again, Adam took great care of our 3 dogs and 2 cats while we were away for almost 2 weeks. We have a fairly high maintenance pack, and Adam is up to the task. There was some extra medication that one of the dogs needed while we were gone, and he picked it up for us and made sure she got what she needed. He kept us updated on how things were going, and sent pictures of happy critters to keep our minds at ease. He genuinely loves the animals he takes care of, so we know they not only get what they need, but they also get lots of love and attention.”
“Aaliyah is the best! She took such great care of our dogs. One is older, and she gave him so many cuddles and attention. The other is a bit anxious, but Aaliyah won her over quickly. I always hate leaving our pets, but I was quickly relieved when I realized they were in great hands. Our dogs were happy and healthy when we returned home. And our house looked exactly as we left it, if not better. I recommend Aaliyah highly! We will be using her again.”

We love Heather so much! She watched our two dogs and cat for 5 nights, and took such good care of all of them. She has great communication, attention to detail, sends updates and photos, and most of all is sweet and kind with our animals. Our reactive dog loves her calm demeanor. Thanks, Heather!
I highly recommend Alexandria for all your pet sitting needs. She was absolutely amazing and made our trip stress free for many reasons. Upon meeting our dogs for the first time you could tell she was an animal person, completely comfortable getting on their level and letting them sniff it out for a bit. One of our dogs is very nervous around new people but he was even warmed up to her wagging his tail by the end of her visit. Things felt really good to move forward. She arrived promptly every time we had scheduled and had great communication from the start. The updates we got were warm, caring and fun! She included pictures and was great about any special requests we made. She made a point to keep our house very clean and even washed the sheets before leaving. We found our house exactly how we left it and some very happy dogs upon returning. Truly a game changer to have someone like her to be part of our team with travel planning. We are so grateful she was available for us.
Michael did such an amazing job caring for our dog Millie and our home for 9 days. He was communicative and sent daily pictures. It was clear from meeting him that he puts great care and intention into his pet sitting jobs. He also left the house super clean. We will definitely have Michael back for any future needs!
Adam provided in house sitting for our dog and cat for 5 nights. He gave our dog a lot of outside time and tons of stimulation overall, with plenty of photo proof! We love getting to see photos of our pets when we are gone. Our house was left in as good of shape and cleanliness as we left it, which is great. His communication was great. He was easy to trust and we will absolutely book him again.
Shania was an amazing dog sitting for my anxious older dog. She had great communication and patience when meeting her and kept me updated throughout the entire stay. My dog is very anxious and Shania made it much easier for Lily and made her so comfortable. She took Greta care of Lily and will be using her in the future.
Gena did a great job caring for my nervous pups while I was away. When I came back from my travels the dog's didn't give me the cold shoulder, which I always take as meaning they had a good enough time to not miss me too much. She kept me updated well let me know of any concerns. I highly recommend her.
Silas went above and beyond for our pets! She watched our 4 dogs and 2 cats while we were out of the country. She was a great communicator the whole time. There was an issue with an appliance in the house while we were gone and she kept me updated and helped coordinate the repairs. She also sent photos and updates of the pets. We really appreciate that she treated our fur babies with love while we were away.
Xime is an absolute gem and exactly the kind of sitter every dog owner dreams of finding. We've used Xime multiple times for our two 3-month-old Shih Tzu puppies, and she never disappoints. Anyone who has raised puppies knows how demanding they are, hourly potty trips, nap schedules, kennel routines, white noise machines, kennel cam monitoring, and Xime handles all of it flawlessly, without being asked twice. From the start, she was proactive in asking for instructions and clearly came prepared. Our pups absolutely adore her, they light up the moment they see her, but then settle right into their routine, which tells you everything about how consistent and calm she is with them. She is incredibly attentive and intuitive with them, and it shows. Xime keeps a detailed log of every potty trip and what happened, plus nap times and wake-up times, so we always know exactly how their day went. On top of that, she sends regular updates, photos, and videos and she has a genuine talent for photography. The shots she captures of our pups are absolutely adorable. She is also a respectful, tidy guest in our home. We honestly would never have known she was there. Communication is easy, clear, and responsive, and booking with her is a breeze. If you have puppies especially, Xime is exceptional. We trust her completely and couldn't recommend her more highly.
