“Laura was an amazing sitter! She was great with communication and keeping us in the loops with fun messages and cute photos. It was so nice knowing our dog was being loved and taken care of so well. She also went above and beyond by cleaning the house and deep cleaning a couple of our chairs. We really appreciated all the effort Laura put in to care for our home and our pup. We will 100% book with her again.”


“I was dreading leaving Sophie for 7 whole days, but she did great with Caitlin! Sophie is an older kitty with IBD and has a particular schedule to follow to keep her stable, which makes me nervous to leave her. I’m so thankful Caitlin was willing to care for her, and also able to stay with her at night, as Sophie hates being alone. It really put my mind at ease knowing someone was there! Thanks again :)”


“Stephanie was great. Our first time using Rover and she made experience super easy. She took great care of all of our pets, and sent plenty of updates (including pictures)!”


“We were visiting Damascus VA to bike the VA Creeper Trail and needed someone to stay in our camper with our dog because he has some separation issues. She was there on time, he immediately went to her. She was friendly and caring. When we returned three hours later, he was happy, wagging and tired. She relieved our minds so we could do what we planned and know our pup was in good hands. Highly recommend.”


“Mallory and Phillip were absolutely amazing!! She took such great care of Hank and Bear! I was so nervous to leave them and she made me feel a million times better! Knowing I was so nervous, she was constantly sending me photos and updates. She went above and beyond for them and we are so grateful for that! We cannot wait to have them watch our boys again!”


“Stephanie took amazing care of my cat and was an overall pleasure to work with! She genuinely cares about each pet and pays attention to detail. She also does an incredible job communicating and keeping you updated on how your baby is doing during her stay and she sends lots of cute photos too! Your fur babies will be in excellent hands with her!”


“Showed up the day before to do a meet and greet even tho the booking was very short notice. Arrived on time, sent frequent updates which meant the world to me as she knew I had never left my dog alone, and stayed late when our function ran late. My dog was excited when I got home but didnt seem like she was overly stressed by being left alone and I really think that says a lot about the calm, caring, and attentive demeanor she used with her. I highly recommend her.”
