Helena and her family were so good with our dog, Mugsy. She took the time to listen to and understand any special instructions, and sent us regular photos and updates. She reached out quickly when there was any questions or concerns. I can tell Helena truly loves dogs and treats them like family. Thank you for taking such good care of our pup!

Andrea was just wonderful! My dog Liza came home after two days and I swear she is homesick for Andrea’s dog Pepper and her lovely family. She sent photos and updates and we knew she was in great hands. Could not have been happier and Liza too!

My dog stayed with Sue-Ling, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She took such wonderful care of my dog. Kind, patient, and really attentive to her needs. It was clear from the start that Sue-Ling truly loves animals and treats them like her own. There was a small health issue while I was away, but Sue-Ling handled everything calmly and responsibly. She kept me updated right away and made sure my dog was comfortable and safe. I felt completely reassured knowing she was in such good hands. I’m really grateful for the care and attention Sue-Ling gave to my dog, and I would absolutely trust her to look after her again anytime. She’s amazing!

The only thing wrong with the Rover app it doesn't allow me to get more than five stars to the greatest dog sitter I've ever found Absolutely have no qualms whatsoever about leaving my boy with Miss Kim she treats him like one of her own to the point when he's back home with me he's sad because he can't play with her kids looks like I might have to schedule a date just to keep him happy but for anybody who's wondering Kim will take great care of your loved one

Samantha took great care of my dog Waldo on a short notice. Her house was a fantastic place for him to be for a few days...and her dog Molly couldn't have been a better friend for him to hang out with. Highly recommend her for dog sitting/boarding!

Shannon provided exceptional care, affection, and understanding to my rescue Beagle, Milo. This marked our first separation in the two and a half years he has been a member of our family. I initially experienced considerable apprehension regarding the prospect of leaving Milo; however, upon meeting Shannon, I was immediately confident that he would receive outstanding attention. Shannon consistently provided photographs and updates on Milo's well-being. Upon my return to retrieve Milo, he demonstrably expressed his affection for Shannon and her mother through repeated embraces prior to his departure. Witnessing the bond that had developed in merely two days was both heartwarming and profoundly reassuring.

Brooklin took amazing care of my cat, Lylla, while I was away. Lylla is very shy around new people, but Brooklin was incredibly patient and was able to get her to warm up, which says a lot! She went above and beyond to make sure Lylla was comfortable and cared for, even helping encourage her to eat when she wasn’t showing much interest in food. Communication was excellent throughout the entire stay. Brooklin kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing my spoiled girl was in good hands. I could tell she genuinely cared about Lylla’s well-being and treated her like her own. I would absolutely book with Brooklin again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter.

If you are looking for a pet sitter for your fur baby, look no further. Melissa is a caring responsible pet owner and will care for your pet as if it is her own. She was very conscious of Josie’s routine and habits. I felt very comfortable leaving her with Melissa. I received pictures and updates everyday. Definitely will be using Melissa again to watch Josie.
