“Casey took wonderful care of our furry ones; especially our dog, Crowley! We will certainly request their assistance again and recommend whenever we can!”


“As always, Leesa is great with all of our animals. They love the attention and long walks! We appreciate the communication and photos. Thanks again Leesa!”


“Janice was amazing while taking care of Nacho and house sitting. Updated and pics were frequent and reassuring. House and Nacho were well taken care of. Will definitely look to book again. Thank you Janice!”


“Monroe did an amazing job taking care of my dogs and was very flexible. I have a lot of anxiety leaving them and she did a good job checking in and letting me know how they were doing. Definitely would book with her again!”


“Valerie was the best pet sitter we have had. She took great care of our 3 dogs and cat. Usually when we get back they are so relieved for us to be home but I think they missed Valerie which makes me happy. I would highly recommend her. Our dogs can be at times a little much and a little overwhelming, but she took care of them great.”


“Megan was friendly, professional and punctual. She stayed in contact while I was away (which helped to work through some unforseen issues) and sent pictures and videos of my cat while she house sitted. She also seems to be some kind of cat whisperer since my cat is not friendly with many people but seemed to take to her immediately. She also helped me navigate the Rover site for booking what I wanted and planned ahead to avoid letting my cat out into a storm (I was out of town and unaware of the situation). I would highly recommend Megan for your pet sitting needs.”


“Katharine did a great job taking care of my cat and they definitely got along well. She left the house very clean and organized when she left and went the extra mile to make sure Zilla was comfortable and cared for when we got home late.”


“Michael took care of our dog and cats while we were out of town and he did a great job! He was polite, punctual, and communicative. He sent many updates and photos, which we love! Would definitely recommend him and we plan to use him again!”


“Rebecca went above and beyond in caring for our cat, dog and house in many ways. We looked forward to her daily updates, pictures etc and came home to happy, well cared for pets.”


“Emma helped out at the last minute when the original plan fell through and I needed someone before an important weekend out of town! She took great care of Finley and he was extremely happy!”


“Brianna took great care of our Princess Potato “Pinky” She is a great communicator always letting us know how things are going and sending pictures. I would recommend Brianna to anyone wanting a trustworthy, kind dog lover to care for your beloved pet.”


“Lisa was awesome! Very calm and experienced. She kept us informed of our pups throughout her stay and was neat and tidy. We booked her last minute but she worked with us to still meet the doggos ahead of time ensuring we were all comfortable.”


“Ella took amazing care of our pets while we were out of town for 10 days. She sent us several pictures and short updates about the games our dogs played each day. She followed all our instructions, and we could see how happy our girls were with her. She stayed in our home the entire time, and when we returned, the house was spotless. She even left a thoughtful handwritten note on the kitchen counter summarizing how our pets behaved, what they did, and a few details about her stay and our home. We highly recommend Ella for pet and house sitting, and we will definitely contact her again the next time we’re out of town. Thanks again, Ella!”

“Christina took great care of our pets and our home! Even with freezing temps and 6 inches of snow on the ground, she made sure our high energy pup was exercised and entertained. She sent daily updates and always let us know what she had planned for the day. Our house was very tidy when we got home and the animals were very happy.”

“Eli took amazing care of our high energy pup, Mazy, while we were away on vacation. She can be a handful, but Eli handled her with so much patience, energy, and love. We came home to a happy, tired, and well-cared-for dog - which is the dream! He kept us updated with photos and messages, and we felt completely at ease knowing she was in such great hands. Eli is so truly wonderful, and we're so grateful for the care he gave Mazy. We'd book him again every time.”
