1. Sydney T.

“Sydney was great with our dogs. She stayed the weekend at our house. We received daily updates and pics of the pups. Great communication and would highly recommend. We’ll look for her again next time we need a sitter.”


2. Lucy G.

“Lucy is beloved by my pets and she is great at communication and making sure she understands their needs. I will be a customer on repeat as often as she’s available!”


3. Sarah M.

“My first experience with Sarah as a house and pet sitter was wonderful. She was incredibly communicative through the booking and sitting process, responding to messages right away, and sending multiple pictures a day while I was away. Our first meet and greet made me feel very comfortable with her taking care of my two large dogs. The dogs were very well taken care of while I was gone, including medication administration, and my house was pristine when I got home. Would definitely hire Sarah again!”


4. Genesis L.

“Genesis is absolutely amazing! We were nervous to leave our babies with someone we didn't know, but as soon as she came over for our meet and greet, both I and the puppies adored her!! She stayed in our home with our small dogs for 5 days and took amazing care of them! She very quickly picked up on their personalities and wants/needs and took care of them accordingly - and with enthusiasm and great care. She was excellent at communication and left our home in pristine order. She definitely takes her job seriously and also truly enjoys it. We won't ever look for another dog sitter again. She's absolutely top notch! Thank you, Genesis! See you next time!”


5. Rachael T.
“I have known Rachael for many years, and she has also done pet sitting for me several times. Rachael is a very responsible person. Intelligent, well educated, very caring and empathetic especially toward animals. She gets the job done and I have never been disappointed. I trust her completely with the care of my pets and home. She would be an asset to Rover.com. Susan Moore”


6. Candice h.

“Both of our animals warmed right up to Candice as soon as she came in for our meet and greet. My dog usually barks at strangers but didn't this time. Candice was friendly and knowledgeable. We were able to leave our home for a few days feeling comfortable with the booking knowing our animals were in good hands. She also sent plenty of updates and photos and left our home cleaner than we left it.”




7. Cher D.

“Cher took wonderful care of our pets while we were away this weekend!”


8. Stephanie L.
“You and your pets will love Stephanie! She has watched my two dogs, a small Yorkie and a large mixed breed, in my home several times. I will continue to happily have her back. She is a very friendly and trustworthy person and has followed our pet “care” directions perfectly. She will give you updates and send pictures as much as you like. I am reassured that my pets are well cared for when I return home and they are relaxed and happy in her care.”


9. Mikayla M.

“We've used Mikayla as our pet sitter and house sitter any time we go on vacation for the last several years! She is so good with our animals. On our most recent vacation, we had a 3 month old puppy and Mikayla did so well with her! Mikayla continued the training we had been working on with her and sent us pictures while we were away. Mikayla is kind and responsible, we would recommend her to anyone!”


10. Jennifer P.
“Jennifer has always enjoyed being around dogs. She has always been good with my families pets. Jen is the one in the room sitting with the dogs. My family loves when Jens watches the dogs and she enjoys taking walks with them as well.”


11. Madison S.
About: I am a part time online college student at Delta campus. I own a photography business & door dash part time giving me a flexible schedule to work with 😁! I am very passionate about all I take on , and always strive to go above and beyond to show that! I would love to treat your animal just as much as I treat mine with love! I really enjoy this job - walking dogs or boarding animals is a good short escape from all the responsibilities and tasks in my life right now. I’m willing to walk during the winter season as well - it’s my favorite! I currently work part time doing Door Dash, own a photography business. I am able to take off work anytime of the day and or week - so I would easily fit into your hectic work schedule! I have a strong care for the love that animals receive! I will make sure that your animal is taken care of as I wish mine would be! I will make sure your home is always free of pet specimen if your animal is known for that! I am on time, communicate well, and take lots of photos of your animals - I’m a professional photographer it’s expected!


12. Mackinzey W.
“Mackinzey is very intuitive with animals. Cares very deeply for their welfare and happiness. She is punctual and dependable. I would recommend her for any type of animal care needed.”


13. Ella B.
About: I have taken care of cats my entire life at my own home & my grandma’s home. I have also dog sat over weekends many times at peoples houses. I currently only have one class M/W and two classes T/TH, so I have a lot of free time in my hands to make sure your pet is getting the attention and love they deserve! We have a fairly large backyard area that could be great for going potty, and an unused fenced in soccer field across the street for more free play time!


14. Neive D.
“Neive was great with our dog Coors. We got picture and videos update which we really appreciated. Her communication was fantastic. When we got home from our trip the house was it great shape, it was like no one was here. We will definitely use her again.”


15. Cheyenne S.

“Cheyenne's communication was great and she treated our dogs like her own! We are so happy we reached out to her.”


16. Ariel F.
“Ariel was wonderful. Engaging with my girls and left them happy and content. She sent pictures and communicated often. Not to mention leaving my home spotless. I will definitely be using her again.”


17. Lily L.

“Lily is an excellent sitter. She is very trustworthy and took very good care of our puppy! We’ll definitely ask her to sit again.”


18. Claire K.
About: I have worked in a kennel for two years. It has given me valuable skills on how to work with dogs and understand them better. I am a student athlete and a double major so I am a little busy! However I’ll always be able to make time for pets. I will most likely be available middle of the day. It will most likely range from each pet. Each animal needs a different type of love. I would ask about your dog and want to know what they like and don’t like, so I can make sure they are happy.


19. Maya B.
“Maya was responsive and reliable when watching my 2 goldendoodles and cat during a 5 day vacation. I received text updates and pictures throughout the week putting my mind at ease. I have another vacation planned and will be rebooking with maya!”


20. Shayla R.

“Shayla is a true animal lover and we were more than happy to have chose her to watch our pets(: She sent us pictures daily and the animals were obviously well taken care of when we arrived back home from vacay. I would definitely recommend her and I would very likely hire her again if possible.”
