House Sitting Northrup

“Carolyn treated my dog so well! She followed my notes to a T and ensured that she got lots of exercise and stimulation. She also provided frequent updates and photos. I can tell she cares deeply about animals, and I’m grateful she was able to watch my girl while I was out of town. I will definitely keep her in mind for future pet sitting needs!”

“Mercy was an amazing dog sitter! She is very professional, a good communicator, and asked great questions during the meet and greet. My dog can be anxious and moody, but immediately took to Mercy. Mercy was very calm and gentle when she met Charlie and I immediately knew he'd be in good hands. Mercy consistently sent updates with pictures and videos. It was clear that Charlie loved his time with Mercy and I would absolutely recommend Mercy as a dog sitter!!!”

Nicole N.

“Julia clearly loves dogs and knows how to handle them. My very excitable Bella calmed down quickly when Julia arrived, and by the daily photos and communication I know she was calm and happy when I was away. Highly recommended”

Dianne P.

“Rachel was so patient and caring for my very nervous chihuahua. She was very communicative and personable. She left the house super clean as well!”

Ann K.

“Avita took great care of my two cats and even spent extra time with them while I was gone on a longer trip. She made both the kitties and myself feel completely at ease. By the end of the trip, they were her new best friends—curling up on her chest and giving her kisses, which is a massive compliment from my cats! She also took special care of my plants. She is thoughtful, kind, highly responsive, and so easy to work with. I would recommend her to anyone!”

Lindsay W.

“Marykay is outstanding. She has looked after my dog several times now, and she's become my absolute favorite and most trustworthy sitter. I highly recommend her.”

Niels K.

“Mary was wonderful staying at my home with my dog Maple. She checked in with pictures and updates and handled some anxiety and accidents Maple had really well. Would definitely recommend Mary!”

Megan C.

“Erin has watched my dogs several times over the years and, as always, did a great job communicating, sending photos, and most importantly taking care of my dogs for two weeks. Also left the house in great shape.”

Kelly A.

“Robert was communicative, sent updates/photos throughout the day, and took great care of Pukka. Really appreciated his flexibility and attentiveness. Pukka seemed very happy and comfortable with him. Thank you again!”

Julie S.

“Cassidy is the best! She stayed with our pets for 5 nights and all went so well. She walked Honey, gave our cat her meds and kept us updated as needed. We’re so grateful for her help!”

Lauren B.

“Brooke is amazing! We have a reactive dog that needs a few introductions before feeling comfortable with new people. Brooke took extra time with us and our pup to ensure everyone was comfortable for an overnight stay on our wedding day. She has such compassion for animals and I can’t recommend her enough!”

Bre D.

“This is our second time working with Tatiana, and we highly recommend her! We feel comfortable knowing our animals are in great hands while we're gone.”

Savina P.

“Lilah is now our go to Rover for home stays when we are out of town! She checks in when she arrives, sends pictures daily and takes our dog for a walk. We will gladly have her stay again!”

Megan G.

“Dannie did such an amazing job with my sweet Pax while I was out of town! He’s a slow-moving older guy who needs some extra TLC and I can tell he was wonderfully cared for by Dannie and loved having a new friend to spend the weekend with! My house was so clean and in wonderful shape when I got home, I would absolutely recommend Dannie and can’t wait for Pax to see her on our next booking!”

Caroline S.

“Noah was a fantastic house sitter and dog watcher. He arrived on time, was responsive throughout my trip, and followed my instructions to the letter. My house was left in great shape, and my dogs were well cared for the whole time. I'd absolutely book Noah again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy sitter.”

Duane W.

“Melissa was attentive with my pets, and they were very much at ease when I returned. She has a great deal of experience with animals, and she clearly enjoys being around critters of all kinds. She was a pleasure to talk with, and I wouldn’t hesitate to contact her again.”

“Careese took wonderful care of our dog and cat. Communication was great and everything was in order when we arrived home.”

“Lydia was great, took our request last minute and was really easy to work with in coming to see the house and meet the pets. Lydia was easy to communicate with on our trip and made it easy to be away. We came home to a well taken care of place and happy pets. We will connect with Lydia again for pet and house sitting.”

“Went above and beyond. Great experience.”
