1. Kristin M.

“Kristin was great, this was our first time having her watch our dogs. She spent time meeting them first a couple of weeks before. She was very communicative while she was house/dog sitting! I highly recommend her!”


2. Rebecca P.

“I can't recommend Rebecca enough! While my husband and I were on vacation, she took incredible care of our two dogs. She walked them twice a day, gave them their morning vitamins, and even taught our puppy Bella how to do a high five! Every day, Rebecca played with them and sent us pictures and videos where they always looked so happy and content. If she ever had any questions or concerns, she communicated with us right away, which we really appreciated. Five stars don't seem enough for the care and attention she gave our pups. I would recommend her to all my friends without hesitation!”


3. Ronda M.

“She was great with are old dogs. She sent us updates & even gave us some suggestions on how to help our dogs with their skin allergies. Highly recommend!”


4. Mark K.

“Most excellent dog sitting at Mark’s home. Our boys were so excited to see Mark a second booking time. Extreme peace of mind to know they are in great caring hands while we are away. Highly recommend! It’s a puppy play land!”


5. Christina & Jeremy D.

“Christina is awesome! She is punctual, personable, sweet, capable, thoughtful, and great with pets! She kept us updated with photos and texts. I felt so comfortable with her being in our home and caring for our beloved pets. Our dog sheds like crazy (he’s an Aussie), and when we were leaving for our trip, I told her she didn’t need to vacuum (because I didn’t want to give her extra work) but I think she did, because when we got home, after she left, I noticed that the dog hair that should have been gathered along the baseboards (it can start accumulating within a day of vacuuming) was not there. WOW! I just think she is great!! We have already booked her to come back!”


6. Laura W.

“Laura helped me out last minute to watch our 2 pups for a week. She sent me great pics and videos, and our pups warmed up to her very quickly! Which doesn’t normally happen that often for my chihuahua! ;)The dogs were comfortable sleeping with her at night and put me at ease while on vacation that I didn’t need to worry about them. she is a very sweet girl and would book her again.”


7. Katie O.
“Katie has watched many of pets throughout the years and has always gone above and beyond to love and care for them. She is genuinely passionate about animals and creating a bond with them. She is fun and energetic but also professional and down to earth. If you want your animals to be excited about their caregiver when you are away, Katie is the gal.”


8. Olivia S.

“Olivia was absolutely fantastic! Very reliable and all 3 of my dogs loved her!! She provided multiple pictures throughout the house sitting visit and gave timely/thorough updates on all the dogs!!”




9. Kristen B.
“Berkeley loses all his manners when he sees Kristen because he’s obsessed with her! He absolutely loves his time with her as she always has his best interest in mind and he feels it. I always know he is great hands with her. Berkeley is my world and I wouldn’t trust him to just anyone.”


10. Christopher K.
“Chris is great with animals. Everywhere he goes, pets flock to him and are always excited when he comes back. He is always being asked to look after other people's pets when they have the need. I would definitely recommend this big softie to attend your fur babies needs”


11. Valentina E.
“like most, my dog is my world. and as pet owners we want to be able to trust that who we leave our dogs with (even if it is for an hour or two) will see that and treat our dogs as such. that’s why I cannot recommend valentina more.”


12. Kendsy Jean C.
“Kendsy's love for animals is just amazing.. she's a great caring human. I'd definitely use her as a pet caregiver she's dependable and responsible. You just can't go wrong.”


13. Brandi M.
“Brandi has a natural connection to animals and my dogs love her! I would recommend her to anyone that is looking for pet care from a caring and responsible person.”


14. Ally F.

“Ally was great with our Senior dog Lulu (almost 15 years old). Lulu was actually not feeling well when Ally arrived, but Ally handled it perfectly and Lulu was feeling much better and back to her old self before we returned home. Ally didn’t panic or freak out... she just adjusted and took excellent care of Lulu. We will definitely be calling on Ally again!!”


15. Elan S.

“I’m am thankful for finding Elan. He helped us all enjoy our time away from the home and the girls. One of our girls doesn’t warm up to strangers easily, but he kept at it until she settled down.”


16. Matilyn J.
About: When me and your dog get together, and I’ll drop off your dog. Your dog will tell you how much they enjoyed the excitement and plans, but we did the amount of walks we do in the amount of time to play play fetch go to the dog park go on a run, the amount of snacks that we eat it’s like a dream come true just in dog form. I love my dog and being outside so I will love your dog just as much maybe more! Every day of the week Sunday through Sunday whenever I can play with your dog or changes going on a walk is the perfect time for me. I care for the dog like it’s my dog. Anytime of the daylight and sun is up is when we will be outside and enjoying the sunshine and breeze


17. Nathan B.

“Nathan is a fantastic dog and house sitter. He came to the house for a preliminary meet and great, and his communication throughout the entire process was excellent. I had complete confidence that my senior Mastiff and home were well cared for while Nathan was here. I will also say that Nathan goes above and beyond in terms of sitting, so I will be using him again and again. It's nice to know he is available. He's a great asset to Rover and our local community.”


18. Kaylee H.

“Kaylee is great! 100% would book her again.”




19. Leigh B.

“One of the best cat wranglers we have had! Dealing with an outside cat is never easy. I loved her adventurous spirit and the ability to make quick changes would love to use her services again.”


20. Sarah G.

“While accommodating my last minute request, Sarah did a wonderful job with my dog Maggie. She provided frequent updates and Maggie was in great spirits when I made it home from my trip.”
