“andy stayed in our home and watched our 3 cats and 1 dog for a couple of days/nights and i would hire him again in an instant! he was so quick to respond, highly communicative, followed my detailed instructions, asked questions when needed, and sent so many photos, videos, and updates! we’ve tried a few different sitters (pros and friends) and he’s definitely one of the best. i highly recommend him for your pets!”


2. Julia O.

“We love Julia. She sent us many photos and videos of our elderly dog that really helped us feel comfortable with leaving her with Julia. Julia has a kind sweet nature and would make a perfect pet sitter for any dog. We are booking her again.”


3. Bethany H.

“Bethany was amazing!! I had to make a last minute booking and she responded right away. When she showed up to watch my two dogs, they immediately took to her while usually one of my dogs barks at new people and is a little timid for maybe the first two times meeting. She took great care of my fur babies. She patiently walked them and picked up on their silly habits. She updated me with lots of pictures and messages, and even did their hair. Bethany has a great personality and is a natural with dogs. My two Shih Tzus loved her and I felt so comforted knowing that they were in her care while I wasn’t there. Thanks again Bethany”


4. Brooke K.

“Brooke is simply the best! She took care of our doggy and our house, even helped us bring in some packages and watered our plants. I can’t recommend her enough!”


5. Emilie M.

“Emilie was very thorough and responsive. My apartment was in great shape when I came home, and also when I came home, my cat acted like I had just come back from a trip to the store, which is a sign to me that she did not miss me much at all!”


6. Andrea C.


“I can't say enough good things about Andrea. She is so good with our pets, especially one particularly skittish kitty, and we always feel confident with them in her hands while we are away. She understands animals and how to make them feel loved while their people are away. Thank you, Andrea! :)”


7. Cody W.

“Cody watched my three, big dogs for 4 nights. They are a lot to handle but really sweet and not aggressive. Cody was fantastic. He spent a lot of time with my dogs. I've had some sitters who have left them for over 6 hours before coming back. My home was very clean when I got home and everything was organized. He checked in with me frequently as well. He even went above and beyond and checked in on them a couple times not covered in the agreement. He epitomizes what Rover.com should strive to be. And he is not crazy expensive like some people on Rover.com. I highly recommend Cody and will surely use his services again should he be available.”


8. Benjamin P.

“Ben was such a kind and great sitter for my 5 month old puppy Wally!! I'm super grateful because Wally was going through a very bitey, teethy phase as he actively loses his teeth, but Ben handled Wally's excited puppy energy very well. He was also very flexible despite my odd flight times, and even stayed with Wally an extra 6 hours when my flight was delayed. He sent me pics and updates throughout my stay away to make sure I knew how Wally was doing. Sitting with my pup now as I write this and we're both glad we went with Ben. Thanks, Ben!”


9. Wendy M.

“Wendy has been fantastic with my Charlie! He’s been going through an adjustment period in his life and has been a little shy, but she’s been so patient and understanding with him. Such a kind person! 🙂”


10. Brittany G.

“Brittany is great! She took amazing care of our dog during the week of the 4th of July. Our dog is terrified of fireworks so this is a sensitive time to leave the dog in the care of someone else. She did an amazing job keeping our dog cozy and happy. She updated us with notes and photos constantly. I highly recommend Brittany!”


11. Liana B.

“Liana did such a great job being a sitter for my dog! Her calm demeanor and warmth made my dog comfortable with her instantly and feel safe with her in his space. She did a great job asking me questions and making sure she was informed on how best to care for my dog. Would definitely recommend her to anyone!”


12. Lori S.

“Lori was super communicative and I can tell really cares about giving love and care to animals. Hopefully next time I need a sitter Lori is available :)”


13. Tamar C.
“Tamar has pet and house sit for us for the last 5 yrs and we will not change her for anyone else. What really stands out is how Tam understands Ivy's personality and needs (Ivy is really high energy). After each walk, my dog comes back happy and calm, which is exactly what we need for her. She gets lots of belly rubs and reward treats from Tam, she obviously asked before giving any treats to her. We love Tamar!”


14. Lilit A.

“Lilit was wonderful. She was available at the last minute to housesit our dog, Molly. She easily befriended Molly, and made us all comfortable with her kindness and care. Molly had a great time, and we would highly recommend Lilit.”


15. Rachael R.

“When looking for a sitter, there are many factors to consider. It's not easy finding someone to care for your pups as well as you do. & We have a not so friendly pup, so we knew it was going to be even more challenging. But the instant we met Rachael-- we knew we would not find better! She knew just how to react when meeting our pups (one of whom is not the friendliest towards strangers). She was so great at reading our grouchy old man that we were completely at ease after our meet and greet! During her stay, Rachael was so wonderful at keeping us in the loop-- any and all times-- She was incredibly informative and communicative that we were able to stay fully relaxed on our holiday. Honestly, it is not easy to find someone who will love and care for your pups the way you do. But I can say with full confidence-- Rachael did just that & more!”


16. Shelley S.


“We booked Shelley to watch our dog while we were away for our wedding, and she was amazing. Shelley asked for detailed questions to make sure she is caring for our dog properly, and happily sent us updates and photos to ease our mind on our big day. We were really able to enjoy our wedding knowing that our dog was comfortable and taken care of. From when we had our first meeting, I could tell that she was very caring and our dog loved her too. She also left the house looking cleaner than we left it.”


17. Emily H.

“Emily took great care of our senior pitty Whisper. She was timely and thoughtful. We appreciate the care she took with him and would definitely book again the next time we travel. Thank you Emily!”


18. Christopher P.

“Christopher and his wife were absolutely amazing with our two dogs, Tofu and Turbo, during their nearly three-week stay. They went above and beyond, even caring for our dogs during the challenging LA fires, ensuring they were safe and well taken care of. We were so impressed by their attentiveness, kindness, and the love they showed our pups. It gave us great peace of mind to know Tofu and Turbo were in such capable hands. Highly recommend!”


19. Herbert A.

“Perfect. Herbert was great with the dogs and he treated them very kindly and made sure they got what they needed. One of my dogs is very old a bit sensitive so he was gentle with the little one. My other dog is very picky and has to be given two options for food, which Herbert did and he ate enough for the day. I got updates by photo and videos. Highly recommend”


20. Maria G.
“One of the most animal loving people I know! Truly a gift to all pets and people. Experienced with pets who need special detailed care as well. Your pet will have a new best friend and be given lots of love and care :-)”
