1. Natalie D.
“Natalie once again did a house sit for us. She took great care of our senior toy poodle and our cat. We got daily updates and pictures while we away. Thanks again!”
2. makenzie b.
“Makenzie was nothing short of incredible! My husband and I were using Rover for the first time and it was a long trip out of the country so it was a bit daunting. Makenzie sent us daily updates and cared for our pup as we would (if not better ;p)! She went above and beyond so we could have a peaceful vacation. Highly recommend!”
3. Traisaun L.
“We have 4 animals (2 dogs, cat, rabbit). Traisaun stayed with them over the weekend and did an amazing job with them. We can tell how much they enjoyed (or not) their sitter by how needy they are when we get home. Traisaun was very attentive and interactive with them. They calmed down (and went to sleep) very quickly after we got home, which means they really didn’t miss us when he was here. Each of the animals has their own feedings, needs, and exercise (and some medicines), so they are not the easiest pets to sit for. I would highly recommend Traisaun and will definitely have him sit with them if he’s available! Oh, and the house was spotless when we got back! (did I mention 4 animals?) You won’t go wrong with Traisaun!”
4. Flora H.
“Flora was an absolute dog mom's dream! I had my normal sitter cancelled two night before our trip, and I came across Flora and she came the next evening to meet the dogs! With her experience with rescue dogs, I knew it would be a great fit. She sent pictures and checked in to let me know everything was going just fine. I'm a top notch dog mom worrier, so it was comforting. Can't wait to have Flora back! Highly recommend her to come and love your furkiddos! :)”
5. Chelsea R.
“I have known Chelsea for a very long time, and her love for all animals, and taking care of pets as well as shelter pets. I have watched her work when she was volunteering for Animal Friends. She is accountable which is a hard character quality to find in people these days, personable, and responsible.”
6. Carolyn B.
“Carolyn was so awesome as always! Mika just loves her and we’re so lucky to have someone we know and trust with our pup. She is very organized and super tidy in our home and always goes above and beyond! We love Miss Carolyn!”
7. Jessica L.
“Jessica is an outstanding pet sitter. She sent frequent updates & pictures of our dog being well taken care of while we were away. Thank you, Jessica!”
8. Regan M.
“She is amazing!!! She took care of our cat and dog and also was an amazing house guest, left everything clean and tidy and overall it was a wonderful experience. I will be booking with her again and would recommend her to anyone!”
9. Jeanne P.
“Jeanne was great and very thorough. She provided very cute pictures of tubby and when our family member picked him up from her, she talked about how happy Tubby was Jeanne. We will be looking forward to booking with her again. :)”
10. Mick S.
“I have a pretty neurotic dog and Mick handled all of his quirks effortlessly. I felt very confident in Mick’s ability to care for my pets while I was away. Mick took great care of my dogs and was easy to communicate with while I was gone. I’m looking forward to using Mick as a pet sitter again in the future!!”
11. Emma B.
“Emma did an AMAZING job with my two little fur babies! I would 100 percent recommend her for caring for your pet! She is so kind, thoughtful and sweet, went above and beyond and my pups looked really happy when I arrived home! 😊”
12. Andrew T.
“Andrew did a great job house-sitting for the second time. He patiently gained my nervous pup's trust to the point where she slept with him! He sent periodic reports and pictures and you would have hardly known he stayed here for several days - the house was in perfect order.”
13. Aridania G.
“Aridania played a big role in taking care of my dachshund puppy. My puppy was only 1.5 years when Ari would take care of her. Ari was very patient. She would constantly let her out into our back yard to make sure she had enough play time. Because she was let out into the backyard, my dachshund puppy did not have a lot of accidents in the house which I appreciated. Highly recommend Ari.”
14. Peter V.
“Peter is wonderful with our dogs! He’s dog sat them a couple of times and already knows them so well. Love his updates while we are gone too.”
15. Mariah B.
“Mariah was terrific. She took great care of our dogs and cats. She sent us plenty of pictures and was very responsive.”
16. Gianna D.
“We spent a week away while Gianna stayed with Dolly. She was lovely, responsible, and asked great questions before we left. She left our house in great shape and Dolly seemed very happy and cared for when we got home.”
17. Cora W.
“Cora did a wonderful job taking care of Maverick. I could not be more pleased and grateful to have her in the area. Maverick was at home with them and made life long friends with their dogs. Thank you so much Cora!”
18. Emily B.
“Emily was great with our dogs! She house/dog sat while we were out of town for the weekend and we could not have been more pleased. She made sure to send us pics, and we didn't have to worry at all. She also left the house in great shape as well. Highly recommend her for anyone's pets.”
19. Trinity T.
“Trinity is the best! This is the second time she’s watched my pup and has been great both times. She is so sweet and sends the perfect amount of updates. She is extremely responsive and kind to return my home clean with washed linens.”
20. Ellie & Quinn M.
“Excellent! Really great job looking after my dog and cat. I think the pets were kinda bummed when we got home to replace Ellie and Quinn, honestly.”
