“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.”

“Shannon was awesome! She took great care of our new puppy and our cat, kept the house in great shape, and communicated clearly throughout the weekend. We felt completely at ease knowing everything was in such good hands. Highly recommend her.”

“Couldn’t be more pleased with Peter! He arrived early, kept me updated with pictures throughout his stay and took great care of Sunny! Will definitely book again and highly recommend.”


“Brianna made us feel so comfortable leaving our home and pup in her care while we were away for the weekend. She provided updates on how things were going and took excellent care of everything. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”


“Allison was the absolute sweetest! I felt so comfortable having her stay at our house and care for our two dogs. She checked in with adorable photos several times over the weekend, the house was just as we left it, and I could tell she just really loved being with our dogs which is the best feeling. Would book again in a heartbeat!”

“Meagan was great! We had regular updates and lots of pictures of a well cared for pup. Communication was consistent and would be happy to have her come again and recommend her to others!”

“Heidi was awesome with our kitty cat Stitch! Daily updates and pictures, super loving to our boy and left everything spotless at the house. Stitch seemed so happy and relaxed upon our return which was such a pleasant surprise since he tends to get stressed when we travel. Highly recommend and will definitely hope to book with Heidi again in the future.”

“I honestly can’t say enough amazing things about Marie!! We’ve used multiple sitters on Rover before, and she is in a league of her own. She went so far above and beyond—sending tons of photos and videos, keeping our home spotless, and even helping set up a water fountain and troubleshoot our cats’ picky eating habits. It’s clear she genuinely cares. Most importantly, she loved our cats like they were her own, and that meant everything to us. She was truly an angel and we feel incredibly fortunate to have had her. We will absolutely be using her again—she deserves every bit of recognition! Thank you so much Marie!!”

“Alex is AWESOME. She took incredibly good care of our two doggos. She was super communicative and she left the house virtually spotless. Will absolutely be asking Alex to hang with our pups again!”

“Kali took great care of our girls over the weekend and made us feel at ease. She was communicative, sent daily updates, and clearly enjoyed spending time with them. We came home to happy pups and a well-kept home.”


“Makenna did an excellent job taking care of my Cavalier King Charles spaniel, who is a one person devoted dog (to me), and is therefore, heart-broken when I leave her. She gave her plenty of walks, and took her with when she would be gone longer periods of time so she would not be lonely! The house was just as I left it and she was very responsible. It was a pleasure to come home to zero issues. I would hire Mckenna again for Lucy for certain!”

“Maddy was great with our pup! She took Monté for a walk or to the dog park she was here. She also sent us pictures of our pets while we were away and left our house clean for us. Would definitely hire her again :)”


“Erin came to our home and stayed with our furbabies while we went to Mexico. She was truly amazing with them, which put us at ease being away from home knowing they were in great care. She provided us with updates and photos throughout her stay. Cooper loved the walks she took him on. And Sasha loved her fun in the sun. We are so appreciative of Erin and the care she provided them. We would definitely book with her again. Thank you so much Erin!”

“Lucinda was very attentive to the unique needs of our elderly dachshund. We appreciated her flexibility, communication, and her updates while she watched over our pups and our home. I would recommend Lucinda to anyone in need of a dog sitter or house sitter (or both).”

“Chardonay did a wonderful job caring for our anxious senior German shepherd. We were gone for 10 days, out of the country, and I felt so relieved having someone who clearly cares for dogs so deeply caring for our girl. She managed meds, special diet, and communicated with us the whole time. We will for sure using Chardonay again!”

“I couldn’t have asked for a better individual to care for my pups while I was out of town. I received several updates with pictures every time. I returned to happy dogs and everything in my house was exactly as I left it. I would highly recommend Joseph!”

“Eva did a great job with our dogs, cat, and chickens. She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures. I came home to a clean house and the animals happy. I would definitely use Eva again for future stays!”

“Lillian was terrific with my pup. He was even recently neutered and required special attention and Lillian was able to accommodate us. I was very thankful!”

Jess did an amazing job with our two pups, one of which is a senior lab with health complications. She communicated throughout the stay and touched base with questions she had about our old guys care. We felt grateful to have Jess stay with our duo while we were gone and would happily book her again.

Dissaya and Young stayed at our house and watched our dog Junie for a few nights. They were so communicative and thorough. They did a fantastic job of continuing Junies routines and training and gave her plenty of structured walks and play time. They sent great updates and photos throughout their stay. Overall they did a fantastic job and we'd love to have them watch Junie again!

Our kitties love when “Uncle Michael” comes to visit! And as a pet parent, I’m so grateful for the peace of mind that comes from knowing our kitties are not only cared for and entertained but cherished. This time, too, Michael showed incredible patience and grace during a long distance mixup on our part. All ended happily!

Char & Ben were great with our pups! This was our first longer overnight with them, and they eased all nerves about leaving our dogs. We got multiple updates and photos each day and confirmation Ellie got her medication each night. Glad to have these two take care of our dogs!

Lark is fantastic! This was my first booking with him for a weekend of house sitting and I have already booked him again for another trip. He is invested in taking great care of your animals and your home. He was thorough in getting to know my pups, their medications, and their routines at a meet and greet beforehand. I received regular updates with pictures during the stay. I felt so comfortable and confident that my elderly dogs were in great hands while I was away and would definitely recommend him.

We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! He took excellent care of our three dogs and our cat while we were away, giving us complete peace of mind. He was communicative throughout our trip, sending updates so we always knew our pets were happy and well cared for. When we returned home, the house was spotless and just as clean as we left it. It’s clear he genuinely cares about both the animals and the home he’s entrusted with. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, responsible, and caring pet sitter!
There is a reason Peter has so many amazing reviews! We have pups that come from abusive pasts and take a while to warm up to anyone. As soon as Peter arrived for the meet and greet both of my dogs were relaxed around Peter and even came to him for pets and attention. Peter has a very calm energy and is very skilled and patient at knowing how to give dogs the space they need to make them feel safe. We needed a sitter for a two and half week trip to Europe and we had so much peace of mind knowing that Peter was there for our sweet pups! With the daily updates and photos it was so nice to see our pups snuggling and bonding with Peter and we will definitely be booking with him for our next trip! Thank you, Peter! You are appreciated more than you could imagine!

Makenna house sat with my two dogs (one is a puppy!) and I was very pleased with her service. She was able to stick to their specific diet, and routines. I was particular with how to handle my new puppy, and wanted to make sure her routine and training was consistent. I felt very comfortable with her in my home, I returned and it was just as I left it. She was very communicative, gave me updates, and I was very impressed with her ability to handle both my older dog, and puppy at the same time.
