3. Ashley C.
“5 Stars: Amazing Experience with Ashley! I have had incredible experiences with Ashley through Rover. From the start, it was clear they were professional, compassionate, and genuinely cared about my dog. Wren can be a bit shy around new people, but Ashely took the time to get to know her and made her feel comfortable right away. They sent regular updates, including photos and videos, which really put my mind at ease while I was away. I could tell Wren was having a great time because he was always so happy and relaxed in the photos. It was also nice that Ashley asked about her routine and any special needs, making sure everything went smoothly. I highly recommend Ashley to anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving dog sitter. I’ll definitely be using their services again in the future. Thanks again for taking such great care of my pup!”


4. Sarah S.

“We hired Sarah for an initial drop-in visit for our dog. Sarah was quick to respond to my questions and requests. The visit went great! Sarah kept in constant communication in preparation for the visit and sent some great pictures of our fur baby throughout her visit! We decided to hire Sarah for several future visits since we were so pleased!”


5. Rachel H.

“Rachel is the best!”


6. Brooke E.

“I was worried about leaving my doggie Louie alone with a stranger for a few days while I visited my daughter at college but WOW…I think he likes Brooke more than me now. LOL. Brooke was an absolute rockstar with Louie. He is usually slow to warm up to strangers bur immediately demanded belly rubs from her and loved Brooke at our initial meeting. The updates with great notes and pics every visit made me smile and feel 100% at ease. Brooke is my go to sitter from now on. No doubt about it!!”


7. Erin A.

“Erin was fantastic! I loved getting the pictures of my kitty twice daily. She even came out in a terrible storm which I would not expect. ? Recommend!’”


8. Laura Y.

“This is our second time using Laura while on vacation and we're super happy with her! Our shy kitties started warming up to a bit. We appreciated Laura's report card notes and lots of pictures! We'll use her again next time for sure.”


9. Reba G.

“Reba went above and beyond to take care of my kitty over the holidays. She sent photos and updates every day, and I felt totally at ease while I was away knowing my cat was in such good hands. I couldn't recommend Reba more highly and look forward to booking her again!”


10. Barclay N.

“Barclay was amazing!! I had never left my two cats alone in the house overnight, let alone for a week. I was pretty nervous, but Barclay was great at checking in on them, making sure their needs were met, and even making time to play with them. He was consistent with his feedback to me, and very communicative if there was an issue or question. I think that animals can tell when someone is a good person and both my cats and my husband and I agree that Barclay is great! Would definitely recommend. Thanks again, Barclay!!”


11. Patrick N.

“Patrick was professional, honest, and thought on his feet to ensure our dog had the right care. When our dog was sick, he kept us up to date and provided pictures so we could keep tabs on our dog’s eating. We are grateful for the care he provided!”


12. Olivia S.


“Olivia dropped in on my two cats while I was out of town. She did a great job making sure they had plenty of playtime and lots of petting, too! She kept me informed and sent pictures and video of my kitties. One day she found some vomit and was careful to observe my cats’ behavior and eating (luckily it was normal!), and even made an extra visit later in the day to check that they were doing well. I definitely recommend Olivia for your cat-sitting needs!”


13. Alex J.
“Alex is a great dog sitter! He is super fun and super caring. Not only do we love him, our dog does too. I never worry about our dog when Alex is staying with him and know that he is well taken care of and happy.”


14. Allison R.

“Allison is awesome. Keeps my two cats so happy and happily does extra jobs while you are away. My 2 are shy of strangers but warm up to her quickly. Great pictures!”


15. Rachele P.


“Rachele was so awesome meeting my last minute needs for my baby! Her quick communication and updates with pictures for just a 30 minute check in was so appreciated!”


16. Mackenzie M.
“I can confidently say Mackenzie is a responsible and loving pet caregiver. Her genuine affection for animals is evident in the attentive and compassionate care she provides for every type of animal. Mackenzie is reliable, trustworthy, and always goes the extra mile to ensure pets are happy and well-cared for. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a dedicated pet sitter / caregiver!!! 🙂”


17. Ryleigh G.

“Drop in was on time and completed with great notes and photos!”


18. Patrick Y.

“Patrick was wonderful! We were nervous about leaving our young cat alone while out of town, but she was in good hands. Patrick sent cute photos of her every visit and gave us a thorough updates. She got lots of love and cuddles, which was such a relief for us. I would not hesitate to book Patrick again for the next time!”


19. Chelli F.

“Chelli is amazing with my two dogs. She follows my instructions and provides me with updates to put me at ease when I am away. I will definitely use her again.”




20. Sarah F.

“Sarah took great care of our kitty, Chuck, while we were away for nearly a week. She was very communicative, and followed instructions and came at the appointed times as planned. We were very happy with her care and would love to have Sarah take care of Chuck again when needed!”
