Dylan was a lifesaver when we had another cancellation at the last minute. He was professional and great with our senior pup. We'd definitely work with him again.

Lauren is an awesome pet sitter. Awesome doesn’t even begin to describe them. Lauren came in short notice while we were out of town during an emergency. They were able to not only take care of our puppy but our very socially picky cat. Salem really took onto Lauren which rarely happens with him. Lauren’s communication was great and photos were sent daily. I would trust Lauren to pet sit anytime and honestly to any of my friends.

Hanna is fantastic! She took such good care of our two dogs and our home while we were away. She is very communicative and sent us photos and messages with updates every day. We've already booked a second dog/house sit with her for a few weeks out!

Johanna was fantastic! Faora loved her so much and she was great about communicating with us while we were away. I appreciated the pictures to keep us up to date! She was also very respectful of our home while staying there leaving everything clean for us. We will absolutely hire her again in the future!

Carla is wonderful! My husband and I both had last minute work trips come up at the same exact time, and Carla was available to watch our two dogs on short notice. She stayed in our home to watch over them since they are both older, and they couldn't have been in better hands. She was diligent, made sure we had care instructions, and sent photos and updates for us through her whole time watching them. My flight was delayed due to weather, and she even stayed a few hours extra to make sure they were taken out and comfortable until I could get home. She was even willing to come back in the evening to give them dinner and take them out again if my flight had gotten delayed even more. She is so sweet, and she left our home in immaculate condition. We will absolutely be reaching out to Carla to take care of our boys again!

Coleen was caring, professional, and fast to respond. Our dogs absolutely adore her and were sad to see her leave. She easily managed 3 large dogs without issue. We had Coleen in-house sit them overnight for our big day and can't recommend her enough!

Jo is just a great person. Period. She always goes above and beyond in caring for and entertaining our dogs, whether it’s bringing over her best enrichment toys or finding our dog’s favorite Real Housewives franchise to watch together. For this house sitting, Jo watched our newer puppy for the first time. He can be vocally reactive on walks and has some unique methods for managing his behavior. For Jo, it was no sweat. And during this house stay, my husband and I happened to be in Puerto Vallarta during the recent cartel rampage. Not only did Jo make sure that our doggos would be cared for regardless of when we made it back to the States, but she also made a genuine effort to check in on our general well-being. Like I said, she’s just a great person.

About: I'm a playful and fun friend to animals of all kinds! While this app is focused on dogs and cats, I have expeirence with reptiles as well. I'm cool under pressure and can handle hectic environments. The wildest experience I've had was with 3 grown dogs, 8 puppies, and a cat. Best weekend of my life. I have one regular client in the mornings, Mon-Wed. outside of that, I tend to prefer about 5+ days' notice for sits, 2+ for drop-is & walks. I can be flexible when my schedule allows 👍🏾 I'm adaptable and can adopt whatever schedules and routines you specify for your pets. I know it's good for dogs to get some exercise, so I'll play with them as much as I can. (a win-win since it's also good cardio for me!) If they're good with other dogs, we'll go to the dog park! With cats, I find it's best to follow their lead to an extent. I'm observant and will get a good idea of their boundaries quickly.

Renee was excellent with my dogs on most fronts with only a couple of issues. She went above and beyond when one of them got an ear infection- taking him to the vet, even had her mom drive him which was amazing, she was generally very communicative and meticulous with their care. She even washed them and cleaned up before leaving. The issue i had with her majorly was the lack of any walks in the first 4 days of care. That's too long of a duration to go without walks. This did seem like a consequence of extenuating circumstances for her so I wouldn't characterize that as her caregiver personality. I do however think having big dogs with no walk time for 4 consecutive days is unacceptable as a general rule. She was extremely apologetic and explained her situation to me. She was regular with walks after I reiterated that only yard time is not ok, she needs to walk them daily and not just give them yard time. She left my house very clean and even gave my dogs baths before leaving, a completely unexpected kindness. Despite the hiccups I think she is a very caring and meticulous dog sitter.

We had an amazing experience with our Rover sitter watching our 3 kitties while we were away. She was incredibly attentive, kept us updated regularly with messages and photos, and really helped ease our anxiety about being away from home. Our cats were well cared for, and we came home to a clean and well maintained place, which we truly appreciated after traveling. You can tell she genuinely cares about the pets she watches and goes above and beyond to make both the animals and owners feel comfortable. We would absolutely book with her again and she will definitely be our go to sitter moving forward. Highly recommend!

Frankie is a genuine animal lover and provided wonderful care for our pets while we were away! We kept in touch regularly throughout the trip, and my pets loved the play time and cuddles they received as much as I loved the photos. We were blown away by the care and consideration. Two of my pets are on medications and Frankie also handled that with ease. We will definitely rebook in the future if availability allows!

Desiree did a fantastic job caring for our cats. She was attentive, followed our instructions meticulously, and eased our worries about being away from them for the first time. Her regular updates, including texts and photos, really reassured us. Thank you, Desiree! We’ll definitely be using your services again.

Jo was fantastic with our older doggo. This was our first time leaving our dog since she began needing medication and special handling, and Jo made us feel so reassured. Jo was attentive and detailed oriented with medication, feeding, and potty instructions. She also went above and beyond for our girl who’s anxious during thunderstorms and fireworks. Jo was very respectful of our house by keeping it tidy, and was extremely responsive and flexible while we were away. We look forward to having Jo watch our girl again in the future and would highly recommend her!

Kelso made me feel at ease while watching my chihuahua, Selena, while I was out of town. I was very nervous having someone new come in that I didn’t know seeing as my ex always watched my dog for me in the past. This was my first time hiring someone. She gave me updates with pictures and videos that I loved! Great communication throughout the stay. Selena enjoyed her company as well and I will definitely use her in the future as long as she is available! 10/10 would recommend her to anyone I know looking for a sitter. Thanks kelso!

Jillian took wonderful care of our boy, Henny. She stayed in our home and watched him for a week, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. It's always difficult leaving our dog behind, but Jillian made us feel completely at ease. She is kind, professional, and genuinely great with dogs. When we returned, Henny was happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved while we were away. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter and will gladly book with her again. Highly recommend!
