1. Christopher B.

“Chris was fantastic with my girls! I appreciate his excellent communication, the kindness he showed both my dogs, especially my most sensitive girl. He played tug of war, hung out with them in the back yard, sent me tons of pictures and updated me multiple times a day so I didn't worry. He also watered my plants, brought in the mail, set out my trash and recycling, and left my house clean. Chris is a trustworthy and all around fabulous house and dog sitter!”


2. Samantha C.

“Sam was attentive and followed all the instructions for my older pitbull perfectly. Roxy was well cared for, and I appreciate the daily updates that reassured me. She was doing great.”


3. Alex I.

“I can’t recommend Alex enough! He accepted a very last minute booking, due to another sitter cancelling, and helped ensure I didn’t stress about it. Alex’s communication was thorough from start to finish - he even sent pics and vids throughout the day. He’s really great with dogs, and even helped me with a few pointers with my new pup. Definitely a reliable and caring guy!”


4. Anna M.

“Anna was awesome! Very communicative and my dogs (and rabbit) loved having her stay with them. I was out of the country and she made sure I was updated the whole time. I felt very comfortable and relaxed :) we will definitely be booking with Anna again!”


5. Ryan C.
“Ryan is a kind and compassionate man who has lovingly cared for pets his whole life. He is currently pursuing his degree in medicine and he brings his dedication to helping all people and animals in everything he does. I recommend Ryan without reservation to care for your pets big and small”


6. Shushma R.
“Hello, Shushma and her family is really awesome!! I took my dogs there and they were so comfortable at their home. They love pets and my dogs loved them. I would recommend them to anyone who wants a clean, safe and loving environment. You can definitely trust them with your pets you won’t regret it 😊”


7. Hana T. S.

“Hana was a fantastic sitter and I highly recommend her for boarding. She watched my dog Zuzu for a few nights and sent lots of videos and photos, which made me feel comfortable enjoying my trip while my dog was home. She was very thorough and neat, and a very thoughtful dog sitter. I recommend her for all your dog and cat sitting needs. :)”


8. Kyla R.

“Felt very comfortable with Kyla. Good level of communication.”


9. Christina C.
“Christina has taking care of both my dog who is now in doggy heaven and my beautiful cat. I have to say she has a love for all types of animals that most people can't even understand. She not only loved taking care of my fur children but also enjoyed learning about them. Kind ,gentle , patient are the three words I would describe Christina to exhibit the most when interacting with dogs and cats. She truly loves and cares for them from the bottom of her heart. Anyone who has the pleasure of having them care for their fur babies will find her to be a blessing”


10. Ali R.

“Ali went beyond our expectations as a sitter. She was wonderful and we are so grateful she was able to stay with our pups over the Thanksgiving holiday. Our pups were in great spirits upon our return and our home was looking great. I would strongly recommend her to anyone and will definitely be booking again! Thank you Ali!!”


11. Esti H.

“Esti was great very communicative and responsible”


12. Kelsey W.

“Kelsey was always on time which is very important to me. She responds promptly to my texts and is easygoing and accomondating. Excellent experience after so many disappointing ones.”


13. Kelley R.

“Kelley did a great job taking care of our 2 dogs and cat. She stayed in our home with them while we were away and even came back to feed them again when our flight home was cancelled. She reached out a few days before our booking as well to reconfirm which I very much appreciated. She sent updates and photos while she was watching them which definitely helped to let us relax while we were away knowing that our fur family was being well cared for. I would recommend Kelley to anyone needing a pet sitter and I will definitely have her take care of ours again.”


14. Gloria K.


“Gloria is simply amazing and her love for animals is wonderful. We felt very comfortable leaving our little boy Winston with her. We highly recommend her.”


15. John C.
“John is a very caring person who loves all animals just like his dog Molly. When caring for a dog he is responsible and loving towards the animal.”


16. Andrew C.
“One of the biggest things to worry about when getting a pet is “what do we do when we go out of town?” Of course that’s a valid concern. After I got my yellow lab we hadn’t gone away for some time as we didn’t want to put her in a kennel or bother anybody with dog sitting. Andy came over for dinner one night and met coconut, my puppy. He fell in love with her and said anytime we go away he would happily watch her. I trust Andy with my own life, so it made me more than comfortable. Leaving her with him. When my wife and I were away he knew we missed her so he was sending pictures of her all day letting us know she’s safe and happy. Andy goes above and beyond for us and coconut. It may be in my head but it almost seems like she doesn’t want to leave whenever we pick her up .😂…whenever Andy comes over for dinner or to watch football Coconut loses her mind out of excitement. So I know she enjoys her time with Andy, just as much as we enjoy our time on vacation. Andy is the best.”


17. Mitsaida C P.
About: I grew up with cats and dogs at home. I have never pet-sat for others before, but I can do the basics and I am willing to learn more. As a full-time college student, I am mostly available in the afternoons and on weekends. I can mostly provide walks and drop-ins during these times. Although I don't have much experience, I am willing to learn more about pet care. When caring for pets in my client's home, I will ensure that they are safe and comfortable. I will follow any specific instructions provided by the pet owner. I will also make sure to play with them and providing them with the attention they need.


18. Samantha R.

“Samantha was so kind, gentle and caring with my Noelle, I could not have asked for a better “babysitter”! I am so grateful to have met her and look forward to working with her again!”


19. Shane K.
“As a new dog parent I was worried about hiring someone to take care of my dog while I was away but Shane put my mind at ease. She was clearly a dog loving person who took great care of my boy. Will definitely hire her again Adam”


20. Julina D.

“I felt Julina’s enthusiasm for my fur baby the moment we met. She was so sweet to meetup in advance before our scheduled babysit date to see if she would vibe well with my Boston terrier. For the three nights she housesitted my baby Julina took good care of the apartment, kept me constantly updated about my baby’s well-being, and sent the cutest pictures! Julina is a bubble of joy to talk with and be around. I’m a first-time user of Rover so I took a while looking for people. I was friggin lucky to find Julina, especially during this holiday season! Look no further if she’s available for your dates hit that book button ASAP 😊”
