“Holly is great! She’s so kind, caring, and understanding. I had the opportunity to puppy sit for Milton. Milton is wild and crazy and she was nothing but calm and amazing energy. Holly will definitely be my go-to sitter/ walker. Thank you, Holly!”

“Paulina did an amazing job taking care of our home and animals while we were away. She was incredibly attentive to our dog, who is very picky with eating, and made sure he was comfortable and well-fed. When our cat injured himself, she didn’t hesitate to offer to bring him to the vet—showing genuine care and responsibility. On top of that, she went the extra mile during the hot days by making frozen treats for our chickens to help them stay cool. I highly recommend Paulina for house sitting and pet care. We’ll be using her as often as possible!”


“Super duper highly recommend! We had our first overnight pet sitting experience with Eko and Sarah and they were fantastic. Super thorough, punctual, and responsive from the meet-and-greet through the end of the stay. I'd call on them again in a heartbeat and recommend them highly -- our pets co-sign this review 🐾🐾”

“Nicole did an incredible job caring for our dog while we were away. She sent photos, spent quality time playing with him, and her thoughtful updates really put us at ease. She is kind, punctual, and followed all of our instructions perfectly. We will definitely hire her again—thank you, Nicole!”


“Logan was great, friendly and extremely helpful. The pets warmed up to her quickly and made me feel comfortable leaving them with her. She provided updates and pictures while I was away. She went above & beyond the expectations of taking care of my cats and home. I would highly recommend her!”

“We are so grateful we found Chelsea to watch our dogs for the week! The meet and greet was very helpful to get to know her and tell her our dogs routine. Our dogs looked like they were getting all the snuggles and love while we were gone. She even took two ticks off our behavioral dog while we were gone! Thank you again Chelsea for keeping us updated and trying to stick to our dogs routines.”

“Rachel was amazing with Bert and Maisy. She followed their exact schedule and also exercised them every day multiple times a day. She was very attentive to both doggies especially when Maisy had a bout of illness. She was so communicative and kept me in the loop with how they were doing and sent pictures. I felt so comfortable and reassured they were getting the best care while we were away. I would highly recommend Rachel for your pet sitting needs!! ❤️”

“I wish I could give more than 5 stars! Robert went above and beyond in every way. He took our dog on multiple walks a day, sent pictures and updates, and kept in great communication the entire time. He’s incredibly easy to work with and clearly cares about animals. Our dog had the best time with him—and to top it off, Robert left our home even cleaner than when we left!”

“Fiorella was a wonderful caretaker for our three dogs and home while we were away. She sent regular photos and followed all instructions thoroughly. Also left the house nice and clean!”

“Jessica was great! She helped us with short notice, and was super organized during the meet and greet. All of the questions that she thought to ask made us very comfortable leaving our two dogs (one older, and one younger and attnetion-hungry) with her. She updated us very regularly with photos, and we could see that they were very happy. I can't recommend her enough!”

“This was our first time leaving Ellie, our family dog, overnight since we adopted her about 10 months ago. Tristan was truly incredible with her--totally understood her from the start, adored her, and gave her all the love and walks she could want (and more). Ellie can be reactive towards other dogs while on leash but it truly is all bark. Tristan had no trouble navigating neighborhood walks, rewarding her good behavior, and gently refocusing her to him when needed. She zoomed so hard with him in the backyard it was like our 8 year old coonhound became a puppy again! Could not recommend a dog sitter more.”

“What a wonderful first Rover experience! We are so grateful to have found Peggy. She watched our dog overnight and was so nice and accomodating. Thank you so much!”

“Joiee did a great job watching our two dogs overnight in our home. We just moved to the area and it was stressful having to find a new dog sitter but was a big relief to find Joiee and know our dogs were well cared for. Thank you!”

“Hayleigh made our vacation so much better to not worry about our pups! She is trustworthy and a true blessing to our family. We will definitely be using her on all our trips if she's available! Our dogs loved her and our family couldn't be happier with the experience ❤”


“Kendel took great care of our pup! Ginny took to her right away, so we felt super comfortable leaving them together for the weekend. She sent updates and photos daily. Our home and our sweet pup were well cared for!”

We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Kathy took incredible care of molly and our home while we were away. From the start, communication was excellent — she sent regular updates, adorable photos, and took the time to make sure our pets were happy and comfortable. It was clear she truly loves animals and treated ours like her own. When we came home, everything was spotless, and our molly was relaxed and content. That peace of mind was priceless. Kathy went above and beyond in every way — I’d recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable sitter. We’ll definitely be booking again!
