1. Rose V.

“Rose was amazing! She went above and beyond our expectations! Thankfully, she was available (fairly) short notice and worked with us every step of the way! She sent us pictures of Bolo everyday (to reassure my girlfriend) and kept bolo (who can have really bad separation anxiety) from freaking out. She also finished drying/folding our laundry for us! We really appreciate everything she did, and would 100000000% re-hire her/recommend her for whoever is looking for a dogsitter, walker or anything in between.”


2. Breanna S.

“We are grateful to Breanna for taking such good care of Skipper, and for communicating so well with us. It was great to have him in such good hands! And thanks for sending the photos! Much appreciated.”


3. Rima P.

“Rima is hands down the best pet sitter in town! She went above and beyond to care for my pets—my cats, dog, and guinea pigs were all so well taken care of and happy. She provided updates throughout the day, giving me complete peace of mind while I was away. What truly sets Rima apart is how much care she put into keeping my home clean and organized. She cleaned my place spotless every single day and even took the time to organize things, leaving my home in better shape than when I left it. Her attention to detail, both with my pets and my home, was incredible. It’s rare to find someone as reliable, attentive, and hardworking as Rima. I can’t recommend her enough—she’s truly a gem! Thank you, Rima, for everything!”


4. Madison T.

“Madison was great! She stayed with our dogs and cats for a week at our house. Sent pics once a day to reassure us. Dogs and cats were happy and the house was clean. She worked with us on the return time and stayed extra to be sure they were okay! We’d love to have her again!”


5. Aliza B.

“We are so grateful to have found Aliza! She stayed at our home with our two pups while we were out of town for a family event. This was the first time our pack of four had been separated since Covid, also our first time using Rover, so I wasn't sure what to expect or how it would go. Plus, it was the Fourth of July weekend and one of our pups is not good with fireworks or thunderstorms. But Aliza rose to the occasion! She swaddled and comforted little Leah during the fireworks with her best Mom skills. She sent plenty of pics so that I was able to feel completely at ease while we were away. Good communications via text. We found Aliza to be reliable and flexible, mature, trustworthy and responsible. The house was left for us in the same condition as she found it. The most important part was that the pups were happy and fine when we returned home. Wagging tails all around! Would definitely recommend and we will definitely rebook with Aliza in the future.”


6. Meg V.

“Finally took a vacation and never once worried about all our pets while they were in megs care. Professional and great to work with, we will deffinetly will be booking again!”


7. Megen H.


“Megen went above and beyond to make our babies/puppies including the kitties. 5 total she handled it with no issues. feel comfortable and loved, on short notice at that. She is extremely proficient with her communication. We received Photos and constant interactions. I would gladly and proudly refer her.”


8. Claire M.
“Claire Is by far the most disciplined and thoughtful person I have ever met. She pays close attention to detail in all things in life. After having been her college roommate I can vouch for her when I say I trust her with my fur babies. Claire has watched my dog and cat while I was gone for family vacations and she continues to whenever needed. Not only do I see the love and care she has for animals, but my pets do too. My pets even get more excited about seeing her than me! I trust my pets with her and you should too.”




9. Shana G.


“Shana was so great with our three cats, two of whom are really old and challenging. She kept us updated and was super responsive. We recommend her highly!”


10. James H.

“James took great care of our furry family. Sending us great updates and pictures and alerting us right away when our cat was not feeling well (prior condition) we found a solution together and everyone did great. Highly recommend James.”


11. Mariela R.

“What a pleasure it was to go away knowing my little man was in good hands. Mariela did a great job taking care of our Chihuahua,Bear, which at first is no easy task, but she mastered it. I would highly recommend Mariela and will use her services again in the future without hesitation. Wonderful job, everyone was happy. Thank you.”


12. Lorianna G.

“Lorianna is amazing! She is responsive, thoughtful and thoroughly reliable. Our big boy Boh just loves her. We came home to a very tired and happy dog. Can’t recommend her highly enough!”


13. Bre'ahna G.

“Bre’ahna provided exceptional care for our three fur babies (two dogs and one cat). She stayed overnight at our home to comfort our dogs, who get scared by themselves, Our senior pup can be a lot to deal with because she needs extra support at her age, including 3x/day medication; Bre’ahna handled her special care needs with understanding and skill. When our other dog experienced mild diarrhea, Bre’ahna promptly communicated with us, ensuring he felt better quickly. We highly recommend her!”


14. Olivia V.

“Olivia was fantastic!! She house and pet sat over the Christmas week and took great care of my small Husky and 2 cats. She sent texts and photos almost daily and left the house immaculate. She spent a ton of quality time with Izzy the Husky. I highly recommend Olivia if you’re in need of a very conscientious and responsible house sitter!!!”

He has cared for our pets as well as our neighbors on numerous occasions and is always ready to help with anything that needs to be done., such as feeding, long walks, bathing and cleaning up after them.”

20. Juliana L.
“My friend recently agreed to care for my energetic 3-year-old Chihuahua-Dachshund mix while I was away for one week. Throughout my absence, she provided consistent updates with photos and videos, ensuring my furry friend was happy and well-adjusted. She diligently adhered to my dog's specific routine, including feeding times, walk schedules, and even playtime preferences.
