Taylor is the absolute best. HIGHLY recommend. She was so great about giving updates on our dog the entire time and treated panda as her own! She will definitely be my go to girl moving forward! Taylor went above and beyond all expectations. Thank you so much, Taylor!!!

Alexis was perfect. She navigated a nervous and anxious dog at the start, and he’s as happy as ever when I came home. I know he had fun and Alexis’ updates were perfect. Great communication and flexibility. Definitely recommend and will be using her again. Very very happy.

Bethany was absolutely amazing with all 3 of our girls who have different personalities. She was able to adjust and meet the needs of each fur baby. I checked on the girls halfway through our trip and Bethany gave me a good report with pictures. She was very respectful of our home.

This was the first time we had left Honey, our 7 month old puppy! We were nervous of course but Hack made things really easy for us and Honey loved him. We got pictures and updates daily that really put our minds at ease. He even let us pick Honey up in the middle of the night…..so accommodating. Will definitely use him again! Thank you Hack for everything.

This was my first time leaving my kitty alone and he made me feel so comfortable! I was updated regularity with pictures, his communication was great, and he was able to give my baby medicine no problem. I also came home to a clean house after he house sat. Communication was great and I will definitely rebook next time I need a sitter!

Valerie was awesome. The day we were supposed to have our meet and greet I had to take Gidget to the vet because she was not eating. The vet wanted to keep her a few hours which pushed back out appointment time. Valerie was very understanding and flexible. Valerie was awesome with each of our dogs who have very different personalities. She was able to give Gidget the medication the vet has prescribed. Valerie contacted me to see if she could try something to help Gidget to eat. She went over and beyond to take care of our girls. Valerie contacted me daily to let me know how each of the girls were doing. Valerie was also very respectful of our home. I am very grateful for her!

Laura came through for me at the very last minute. My original sitter for the pets couldn’t make it. She was able to watch our dogs with not a lot of notification. I’m very thankful. She did a great job with communication and I would definitely recommend. Our dogs seemed to take to her immediately!

Jo is absolutely fantastic! We were nervous, since we’ve never used Rover before, but Jo sent us regular updates and pictures and it was clear our dogs were in great hands. She came over to meet the dogs before we left, and when we got back our dogs were happy and stress-free! I promise you will not regret booking Jo for your next trip!

Taelor was fantastic! Plenty of updates with both pictures and videos. She spent a lot of time while with all my pets and gave them plenty of attention. My schedule got a little hectic last minute and Taelor was able to accommodate and even offered to go beyond what I was needing. Taelor should be your first choice when choosing a sitter!

Margaret was absolutely phenomenal with our crew! I needed a last minute house sit for our 2 dogs and 2 cats and she exceeded my expectations! She shared updates and pictures several times a day and took excellent care of not only our furry gang but our house as well. It was neat as a pin upon our return and we were greeted by happy, smiling pups. We are so grateful we found Margaret!

Pets are family and this was just the second time I left my fur babies home with a sitter - for an entire week this time. Andrea was amazing and took wonderful care of my pups and cats! Communication was on point. Knowing I was missing them, Andrea took the time to send me pictures while we were gone. I was able to relax and enjoy a vacation with my family without worrying because I knew my pups were in good hands. If you're looking for a sitter for your fur babies, I highly recommend Andrea!

About: I Have taken care of pets all my life. My family and friends have always been surrounded by their presence. I enjoy taking care of them and giving them all the love that they deserve. I know all pets have different personalities, some are more playful, some are more peaceful. Some trust more than others. Whatever the case is, I am patient to get to know them and understand their needs. I am very blessed to have my wife next to me always loving the pets that surround us. We have pet sitter many times together and is just a bunch of love around. We love that! It makes us more happy than we already are! One day even our future babies will enjoy that with us too! I am currently only attending college online so I have plenty of availability. I have time throughout the week and sometimes the weekends too. I will always try to work it out. Plus my wife is always there for me, so she can always take the times that I cannot. I do not have any pets so if I was to receive pets in my home they do not have to worry about other pets. That way they are more comfortable!

About: Reliable and caring pet sitter with strong attention to detail, excellent communication, and a passion for keeping pets safe, happy, and well-cared for. With years of experience. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I work from home and maintain a very flexible schedule. I’m available throughout the day for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins, and I can easily adjust my schedule to meet each pet’s needs. This allows me to provide consistent attention, care, and companionship, ensuring pets feel safe, comfortable, and well-cared for. In my home, I provide a safe, spacious, and welcoming environment. While I don’t have a fenced yard, I make up for it with multiple daily walks and trips to the dog park twice a day for exercise and socialization. I also have two children and a friendly dog, so your pet will have plenty of companionship and feel right at home. In a client’s home, I follow your pet’s routine closely—feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care—so they stay comfortable in their familiar environment.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats my whole life. I have always loved animals and even made a career out of it. I am a wildlife biologist. I have a sweet girl named Bell at home who is lovable and playful. I will treat your furbabies with the same kind of love I treat my own and guarantee this treatment for any animal I encounter. I get off of work at 3 pm M-F and right after work I always take my own fur baby to the dog park for at least an hour. I live in a house with 4 furbabies that all have their own special needs. In a clients home, I will treat their home like fine china and their pets like my own ,with lots of care and love.

Andrea took care of my 2 elderly dogs the way I would! She is very organized, listens, and writes down everything you say about their needs. She asks questions for clarification and immediately responds to any concerns you have. She is punctual, caring, and i have never met a sitter who communicates so well with both messages and pictures. She’s incredible and definitely a star sitter ❤️🐶🐶❤️
