1. Jen N.

“My cat Eevee adores Jen. Jen is the best! She is so thoughtful and meticulous. It is huge comfort to know that Eevee is happy and well cared for when I’m away.”


2. Kylie-Jean S.
“Kylie has been caring for my dog, hazel, periodically for the past 6 months. Sometimes she takes her on walks when I’m away from the house for too long. She also has pet sat for me when I went away for a weekend. She’s always very responsible and puts my dogs need at top priority. She asks questions to ensure she takes the best care of hazel and attends to her needs. She’s treats my hazel like she’s her own when she’s with her and I feel good knowing that. I highly recommend her.”


3. Amber S.

“Amber was great with Millie she provided us with updated throughout the weekend and for our first time away without Millie she did great! Definitely will keep in touch for future visits as you’ve made us more comfortable to be able to travel in the future.”


4. Heather M.

“It’s hard to go away when you have a senior dog who is arthritic, deaf and can’t see. It’s a huge comfort to know that he and our other pup are being looked after by someone as caring as Heather. She is the best!”


5. Steven & Claudia L.

“Claudia & Steven took exceptional care of my furbabbies and home. My dogs easily warmed up to them and quickly became best buds! They sent daily videos, photos, and check-ins. Their communication and love for animals is top-notch. They have my highest recommendation!”


6. Amanda L.

“Amanda was just great. She was very responsible and respectful and very communicative. She sent us pictures of Buddy and kept us informed of what he was doing. We felt very comfortable about being away knowing that Amanda was there. We found everything spotless when we returned and we really appreciate that! We'll certainly have Amanda back!”


7. Katelyn W.

“Katelyn took great care of our pets (dog and 2 cats) and our house when we went away. She came to our house to meet them and us before our trip, sent us photos while we were away, and left our house very clean. We would definitely use her again!”




8. Katie L.

“Katie took wonderful care of our dachshunds (and our home!) while we were out of town. We highly recommend her!! Thanks so much, Katie!!”


9. Bianca G.
“Bianca came through for us and saved the day when our sitter became ill and was not able to get to our fur babies . We are in Italy and imagine waking up to a text at 3am saying “ I can’t make it over tonight “ I left messages for people who I knew would be comfortable attending to them as one is a HUGE big baby but sounds like he will eat you alive if you enter the house . I then threw it out to a Few sitters on Rover and Bianca answered , worked with me on my needs and went promptly to see our crew . She took pics and even our shy little Pom seemed to like her . Our boys were happy and she made me feel a lot better . I am very happy to know I have someone else to contact to help with our babies . I can not thank her enough ! Truly …”


10. Melanie M.

“Highly recommend! It takes a leap of faith to have someone stay in your home but Melanie was super transparent and communicative. She reached out when things weren’t going perfectly so we could come to resolutions together, which really built trust. Our lil doggo was happy and healthy when we got home after 9 days.”


11. pauline g.

“We had Pauline step in when our other rover person had to cancel last minute. Pauline was amazing! I didn’t worry once while I was away. She looked after my Labrador and Main Coon cat. My house was exactly how I left it when I got back. Pauline was great at sending me videos and pictures of my fur babies while she was pet sitting. We love Pauline and will definitely be booking her again. I actually think my pets would’ve preferred more time with her ? A big thank you from Austin and Twyla but a special thanks from Goose ?*woof* and Hubble ? *meow*”


12. Garrett F.

“Garrett was so wonderful! My girl loved him immediately and I left knowing she was in incredible hands. Garrett was so responsive and asked such great questions to make sure all information was covered. I will definitely book again!”


13. Brandon C.

“Brandon was fantastic! He watched our dog at our house while we were away for 5 days. He sent lots of photos and updates, and he also asked questions about our dog’s routine and behavior to make sure she was doing ok. We will definitely contact him again next time we’re looking for a dog sitter!”


14. Kristen M.

“Kristen was great. Good communication and sent lots of pics. She left the house clean and even took the sheets off the bed. I will definitely use Kristen again.”


15. Matt S.

“I needed a house and dogsitter for a week with very short notice due to a death in the family. Matt came over within 14 hours of me reaching out. He stayed at my house and took care of my two dogs for 8 days. He left the house exactly as I did. He sent me multiple photos and updates each day and was good to my dogs. Appreciate it.”


16. Patty B.
“Patty is an animal lover! She stops to pet and talk to every dog she passes. There is no one better to care for your pet.”


17. Mayella V.

“I can't recommend Mayella enough! She house-sat and took care of my cat while I was on vacation, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Right away I could tell she was a kind and trustworthy person that I'd feel totally comfortable staying in my home. Her communication was excellent—I received regular updates, photos, and messages that gave me peace of mind. My home was just as tidy as I left it. She even left a thank you note folded in the shape of a cat, which was such a nice touch to come back to. Most importantly, it's clear that she truly loves animals. My cat, who can be a little shy, warmed up to her quickly, and I could tell she was well cared for. It seemed like my cat didn't even miss me 😂. If you're looking for a reliable, kind, and professional pet sitter, Mayella is the best choice!”
