Second time having Zhanna watch my energetic boy, and couldn’t be happier with the experience. Ryder loves her, and I come home to a happy, content dog. Plus, she takes the BEST photos. Attentive to instructions, responsive, and overall one of the best sitters I’ve had on Rover!

Michaela stayed with our Lab for three days, and she was wonderful all around. She was prompt and extremely communicative (and shared lots of pics). She walked our dog frequently, and when he created a couple of issues (ha), she handled it great, kept us in the loop, and went above and beyond with cleaning up (laundry, dishes, etc) and generally left the place looking nicer than before she arrived : ). I would absolutely recommend Michaela!

Lindsey provided the best care for Mizu. She gave me daily updates and whenever I needed a little update. She followed instructions with feeding and administering medications. Mizu was in the best care. Will definitely have her watch him again when I am away.

Cassandra was amazing! It was our first time having Cassandra watch our dog and cat and they obviously loved her. We got lots of photos and great updates. Our 10 day vacation turned into a hospital stay and Cassandra seemlessly made sure our babies were taken care of as long as we needed. She checked in on us and even arranged for her adult daughter to stay the night while she had another booking, so that the animals wouldn't have to be home alone at night. I cant thank Cassandra enough for everything. We will definitely be asking her to pet sit again in the future!

Brianna took care of my pup for 5 nights and he was so happy and healthy when we got back! He has a lot of bladder issues and she did a great job following extra instructions to handle it ! She was loving to him and was by his side most of the time I was away! She also left my home perfectly clean

Orianne is the best! She is so sweet, caring, calm. Madeline was comforted while we were out, which means the world to us. Madeline was happy to see us, and we could tell she was relaxed. Orianne will be our first call should we need a pet sitter again!

John is a rockstar. He stepped in for us in a moment’s notice to take care of our dog, Adam. He went above and beyond to be with our pup and help maintain his routine in our home. Anyone would be lucky to welcome John into their home to spend time with their fur babies. I know Adam is looking forward to hanging out with John again the next time we need a sitter.

Jessica was the perfect sitter for our dog Pepper while we were on vacation! She provided multiple updates daily with photos and videos, and we could tell how great of a time Pepper was having. We also loved that she brought her dog Ernie along to keep Pepper company. She kept our home clean and exactly how we left it. She was in great hands and we will certainly book her again in the future!

I couldn't be happier with the care my dogs received from Ian. They absolutely love him! He went above and beyond, taking them on walks and spending quality time with them throughout the day. My dogs are a bit spoiled, and he handled them with so much patience and affection, making sure they felt comfortable and loved. I highly recommend him and will definitely be using his services again in the future. Thanks for everything!

Kathryn is a gem! What I loved the most is that she thought about everything that an owner may want to have peace of mind while away, asked the questions to validate and understand in our meet and greet and then delivered on it. Kathryn was detailed and communicative when it came to her approach with the dogs, and how she managed her time with them. She took them on a field trip! She was conscientious in how she left the house and stayed with the dogs until I returned. I know the dogs were well taken care of and I didn't worry or ever have to initiate contact because Kathryn was so on top of it. Five stars!

Andrea is a great caretaker of pets and homes. She followed all directions and even cleaned up when one of my elderly cats didn’t make it to the litter box. She washed all the bowls and left them for me, as well as taking out the trash and making sure the cans ended up in the recycling. I will definitely book her again!

Carla was awesome and I would absolutely have her come back to house sit for my dog Harley. My sitter cancelled on me last minute and Carla jumped in, she was able to schedule a meet and greet within the hour and sit for Harley that weekend. She sent me a ton of updates, and then when I got home my house was super clean and she had left me a little chocolate (SO SWEET)!! Thank you so much Carla for going above and beyond!!

Erica took great care of our dog and two cats for a weekend. She arrived early in the morning on the day we left to make sure they ate on time, and made sure to allow time to feed them and take the dog for a walk before she had to leave for work on the final morning. She was responsive, sent regular updates, and left the house tidy. It was great to have a reliable sitter!

She ensured to provide daily pictures and updates when she took my dog out as well as when she was fed to make sure I knew what was going on throughout the day while I was gone. I’m glad to know my dog was in great hands while I was gone and would definitely recommend Vannice to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter!
