“Oliver is a top-notch dog sitter! He absolutely exceeded our expectations when it came to the level of dedication he provided for our dog, Jaxson. Jax has special needs and requires some extra levels of care. Specifically, he requires oral medication and a specific routine. Oliver was committed to following Jaxson's care requirements and made sure we were confident that we were leaving him in good hands. Not only did he provide amazing care, but he also exceeded our expectations when it came to communication. He left a kind note welcoming us home and letting us know how Jaxson's day had gone. He also left the house in perfect, tidy condition. Oliver is kind, smart, prepared, dedicated, and everything you could possibly want in a dog sitter. 10/10, I would recommend him to anyone, anytime! Thank you, Oliver, for taking such good care of our buddy! We hope to see you soon!”
“Wow, Noa was an amazing sitter for our little guy, sharing very thorough and thoughtful updates! She is very personable, anticipated the needs of our little one, and went above & beyond to make sure he was okay and felt comfortable! We will definitely be asking Noa back to hang with our pup in the future!! ❤️”
“Lauren was a lifesaver! My wife went into labor early and all of our plans with the previous sitter fell apart. Luckily Lauren was available to watch our two dogs. She was reliable and responsive and was able to adjust to the situation and all of my random disjointed messages I sent as we made our way to the hospital. Definitely would book her again and cannot recommend her enough!”
“I’m so glad that Lexi was able to pet sit for us last minute. I really appreciated her daily updates that were very thorough and considerate. There were a few issues that came up (no fault to Lexi) while I was away but Lexi handled them very well. I never felt stressed while she was pet sitting which is really saying something if you know me! My pets seemed to really like her and they were in good spirits when I got home.”
“Dan was an absolute pleasure - in fact I just requested he housesit and watch our little Rebo again next month! He is caring, sends a ton a photos/videos, and is exceptionally trustworthy. I'm one of those crazy dog moms, and Dan handled me (and Rebo!!) beautifully. Thanks Dan!”
“Stefan did a great job giving our pups lots of attention and sending us regular updates. We definitely felt that the dogs were well taken care of and would book him again.”
“Nina did a phenomenal job. I got the impression that she genuinely enjoyed being around my pets, which I feel like is any pet parent's dream. I will absolutely reach out to her in the future for any needs.”
“Mary was a dream sitter! She took care of our two dogs, Patricia and Hannibal, while we were on vacation and we couldn't have been more thrilled with the experience. Patricia was injured so required more attention and Mary rose to the task. I highly recommend Mary to anyone looking for someone who cares and is professional!”
“We have booked Kelsey twice now and she has been phenomenal. Our dog is shy and weary of strangers, but she absolutely loves Kelsey. She also provides updates and photos throughout the day. We will definitely be using Kelsey again in the future if possible.”
“We last minute had to find someone new to take care of our two pups and two cats right before our 5 day trip. Rebecca literally saved the day! Our animals and ourselves felt instantly comfortable with her and she gave us updates 24/7. She was very helpful and flexible making our last minute changes a breeze. Our one pup was even sad to see her leave!”
“Shane did an amazing job taking care of my house and cat while I traveled! Reuben was happy and tended to, and Shane sent lots of pictures and updates. He was very communicative and responsible. I trust Shane and would recommend him any time!”
“Val did an awesome job watching our two large dogs at our house for an extended period! It was clear that she really cared and spent lots of timing playing with them and making them feel loved. She kept us updated with details of how the dogs were doing and shared lots of pictures so that we never worried. Val also went above and beyond in keeping the house in tidy shape and making sure that everything was in order when we returned from our trip. She will absolutely be our first call for all of our future pup sitting needs!”
“Sarah and Daria were genuinely the best sitters we have ever had!! They were extremely accommodating and stayed in our home throughout the day. The communication was clear and regular! We could not have asked for a better experience! It made our time away completely stress free!! We will definitely be using them again 😍”
“Zoe stepped in for us when a sitter had to cancel last-minute and she was excellent! It was our first time leaving our pup with someone overnight and it was a great success. Our dog has bad separation anxiety and we were so grateful Zoe was able to hang with him the entire time we were away. She followed our instructions and was easy to communicate with, punctual, and very kind. We’d absolutely hire her again!”
“Truly wonderful house sitter for our elderly pug. She took care of his every need and sent us tons of updates and pictures. I would absolutely suggest her to any other pet owner.”

Went above and beyond with our pets, Harvey and Aurora. 100% recommend. Harvey, Aurora, and our home were well taken care of. Very communicative and we received updates multiple times throughout the day. Anyone would be lucky to have Ahmirah watch their pets. Thank you so much for everything!
India was fortunately available when I was in a crunch to find a sitter for my new cat on short notice. I’ve never used Rover before and was nervous to leave my cat in the care of someone new, and India really made the first time super easy. I was provided with so many thoughtful updates and sweet photos of their time together. I will definitely book India again when I plan to be out of town. Her knowledge and experience with pets is apparent and I think anyone would be lucky to add her to their pet sitting roster ◡̈
Dominique was extremely communicative, detail oriented, and followed my recommendations and requests very well. i was grateful she could stay at my place much of the time so my little one didn't have to be alone too often. I definitely recommend Dominique! THANK YOU!
I could not say enough wonderful things about Cayla! She took such great care of my senior pup. He’s reactive with some health problems - so not always easy! She managed everything wonderfully. During our meet and greet, she asked so many great questions and really understood what my pet needed when I was away. On top of that, she was super communicative during her stay. Apart from the excellent care she provided for my dog, she left my home in tip-top shape. Truly, it looked better than how we left it. We had such such a positive experience with Cayla and have found our go-to dog sitter in the city. 🐾❤️
Wendy was attentive and thoughtful taking care of our house and our animals for a long weekend. She gave us updates and pictures throughout the trip so we never felt nervous about how everyone was doing. We’d recommend Wendy to anyone looking for a sitter and are hoping she’s available next time we’re going away.
Dan took great care of our two dogs at our house while we were away for a night. He was communicative and prompt with his responses and we loved all of his updates! We have a diabetic dog who needs insulin with his meals and is on a very strict schedule with that, and Dan made sure to understand all of our care instructions which we extra appreciate!
Sasha was a wonderful dog sitter and house sitter! She stayed with our pups for a week while we were on vacation and we never once felt nervous about them being left behind. She sent many updates and we were confident our dogs were happy and healthy while we were away. Bonus- our house was immaculate when we returned. He will definitely be using her again in the future.
Princess did a great job of taking care of our cats. She went above and beyond with our cat that takes daily medicine and can be a bit difficult/shy. It felt great to know she was getting her meds and they were all well Taken care of while we were gone. Would ask her to pet sit again!
Amazing communication, went above and beyond with my pets. They loved him and I am really grateful that he was able to help me out with such short notice. I received updates and pictures every walk, every few hours. One of my dogs is reactive and Stefan still went above and beyond to take him on long walks and handled him with such care and expertise. I have a hard time trusting anyone with my babies, but I can definitely trust Stefan. Thank you so much!
