1. Peter C.
“Peter did a fantastic job watching my dogs and bunny while I was away on vacation. They communicated with any concerns they had. My dogs were so happy too. Thank you! 😊”
2. Helen C.
“Celeste was wonderful!! She took care of my pack and I’m pretty sure they miss her more than they missed me! I will be booking in the future :)”
3. Seleste A.
“Seleste was amazing! She watched our dog Romeo for 2 weeks, our longest time away ever, and he seemed to hardly miss us. She kept him in his rhythm, gave him all the walks, food, and attention he needed, and gave us pics and updates along the way. Highly recommend to anyone who needs a reliable sitter”
4. Sam D.
“Sam was fantastic! He house sat for us for 8 nights and took care of 4 cats and 1 large dog. We got enough updates, photos and video to reassure us that the animals were all enjoying Sam's company and being well cared for. House was left tidy. Definitely would hire him again and highly recommend him. Thank you, Sam!!”
5. I-Hsin "Eeshin" S.
“I-Hsin was truly INCREDIBLE when watching our two sweet pups! She kept us updated anytime she needed to step out or run an errand, and sent us tons of really adorable photos - which is exactly what we had asked for. She also took our kiddos on nice long walks twice a day, which kept them happy and tired - an added bonus! We’d absolutely ask her to watch them again the next time we have to go away - she truly was a great overnight sitter.”
6. Imani R.
“Imani was great with our 2 rescue pups. She seems to enjoy their company and did a great job at communicating and asking all the right questions beforehand. She's patient and caring. I'd highly recommend her!”
7. Scott L.
“Scott was a blessing. He asked all the right questions, genuinely cared for our two pets and took care of our house as it was his. A kind person. We would welcome him at anytime”
8. Rachel S.
“Rachel was wonderful! She was so sweet and compassionate to my sometimes crazy boy. I received daily check-ins/photos, she was communicative, and took great care of my apartment. I can tell that she truly loves animals and was always very kind to me as well. I highly recommend Rachel, your pets will be in good hands.”
9. Anthea F.
“All the wonderful comments about Anthea were validated in our first experience having her stay in our home to care for our aging kitty. Anthea took wonderful care of our girl, who is extremely timid and shy. Anthea gained trust to the point of being able to give her meds and provided thoughtful insight about her care. As others have noted, Anthea is extremely knowledgeable about pets (and many other things). Our home was left in pristine condition. As retirees who enjoy travelling, but are always concerned about leaving our precious girl by herself, Anthea was the perfect solution. We highly recommend Anthea for your pet care needs!”
10. Kayla N.
“I’ve used Kayla more than once to watch my kitties. Each time, she’s incredibly communicative, responsible, reliable, and sends a ton of photos! She’s kept my apartment clean and organized, and it takes a huge weight off my shoulders knowing my home and my babies are in good hands. I travel a good bit, and I’m happy to continue booking Kayla in the future as long as she’s available.”
11. Alexander G.
“Alexander did an amazing job dog sitting our fur crew. The pups had a blast playing and walking. I always know they are in good hands with Alexander!”
12. Chloe F.
“Chloe was amazing! She was responsive, very nice and gentle with our little pup. She made sure she understood our puppy schedule and followed it well. Georgie woke up as happy as ever! Don't hesitate and book Chloe!”
13. Catherine S.
“Catherine was an amazing dog sitter for our pup, Beans, while we were away for a week and a half. She took great care of him, making sure he got plenty of walks and quality time. Beans absolutely loved hanging out with her—whether it was exploring outside or relaxing and watching movies. It was clear he was so happy and well cared for in her company. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our dog. Highly recommend Catherine to anyone looking for someone reliable and loving to care for their pet!”
14. Alessandro M.
“Alex was very compassionate and caring with our 3 dogs while we were out of town! He treated them like his own, was easy to communicate with, and helped us feel at ease while we were away. We highly recommend Alex as a dependable dog [and house] sitter!”
15. Paul O.
“Paul was an absolute dream of a puppy sitter for our little guy. He was extremely professional, kept in contact with updates, and was respectful of our home and specific request. We will be using Paul from now on!”
16. Chelsea Z.
“Chelsea was wonderful! She was easy to communicate with and sent pictures without my even asking for them. My cats were chill and happy when I got home, a sure sign that they had a good time, and Ruby even slept up on the bed with Chelsea one of the nights I was gone! High praise in this house. I'll be hiring Chelsea again no question.”
17. Brianna W.
“Daisy took such great care of our dog Maebe during a week long house sit! Lots of walks and attention and the house was in perfect condition. Made me feel good about Maebe’s needs being met as she has some separation anxiety, and we were traveling to the East Coast. I would book Daisy again! 5 stars! ✨”
18. Echo I.
“Echo was an immediate favorite of our menagerie! Exceptional communication and just a lovely human to work with. She was punctual for our first meeting, gave us a steady stream of updates, and was beloved of even the most finicky of the cats. We were in a bind and the last minute and Echo came through with flying colors.”
19. Benji G.
“I've had some excellent Rover sitters before, but Benji is in a whole other league! They are so loving and communicative and thoughtful, and really well-attuned to the needs of animals and human companions alike. I highly recommend Benji for anxious and/or neurodivergent pet-lovers in particular--they totally, totally get it! My partner and I think of our kitties as our babies, and travel induces a lot of anxiety for us because we hate the idea of leaving the cats alone. Benji was the perfect antidote to our anxiety; they have a wonderful and reassuring presence, asked all the right questions during our meet-and-greet, and overcommunicated before and throughout our trip to reassure us they were present and reliable (but were also quick to tell us they could scale back on communication if we preferred). We also received lots of fun pics throughout Benji's stay and had the pleasure of viewing our kitties and home through another person's (very generous) eyes! When my partner and I returned home, the house was in better condition than we left it, and Benji even left some fun treasures and personal touches for us to enjoy. Most importantly, our kitties were happy, healthy, and in good spirits. They usually hide for a couple days after a big change, but this time they were back to their old cuddly, demanding routines within 30 seconds. I highly, highly recommend Benji. They are a special person with a big heart, and we feel grateful that we've found such a safe, comfortable companion for the kitties--and made a new human friend in the process. Thank you, Benji!”
20. Shana T.
“Shana and Ryan are fantastic! Thank you for taking care of and loving on our pups while we were away, and for the sweet little goodies you left for us when we got back. We will not hesitate to rebook them for future trips, we are so happy we found a sitter we can trust with our babies! 🩷”
