1. Sondra & Marius S.

“We are beyond thrilled with the care Sondra and Marius provided for Yogi our Chow Chow! Not only did they take and send amazing daily pictures of him, capturing his personality perfectly, but they also went above and beyond by cleaning our house and washing the bedding and sheets. It was such a relief knowing that Yogi was in great hands and that our home was spotless upon our return. We couldn’t be more grateful for their attention to detail, kindness, and the extra effort they put into making our first Rover experience so positive. We highly recommend Sondra and Marius to anyone looking for reliable and caring sitters!”


2. Morgan B.

“Morgan took excellent care of my pets when I was away. I have a dog and two cats, one with special needs, and they absolutely loved Morgan! She played all day with the dog and took her for walks. She was really great with my cats also which can be a bit timid. I plan to use her again and would highly recommend her to anyone.”


3. Barbara D.


“You couldn't ask for a better pet sitter or house sitter! The house was cleaner than the way we left it and our sweet Raleigh was so well taken care of while we were away. Barbara even went out of her way to buy Raleigh a few little toys because it was 109 while we were away and she was worried he didn't have enough to do in the house. Above and beyond!”


4. Katelyn L.

“We really appreciated Katelyn’s stay in our home to care for our two new kittens for the weekend. She sent us updates and the kittens were safe and sound when we returned. She even fed our fish. We would love to book her help again!”


5. Emily S.

“This was our second time using Emily and each time we’ve used her the dogs are well cared for and the house is left in great condition. She is very communicative with her arrivals and departures and sends great pictures and videos of the dogs. We will definitely use her again!”


6. Brittany F.

“I feel so comfortable and at ease when Brittany stays with our boy Diego. She takes good care of the house as well. She sends pics and messages throughout the day to let us know how things are going. I would definitely recommend Brittany to take care of your pet!”


7. Heather R.

“We’ve had Heather house sit twice so far. She is very attentive to ours and our pets needs. She’s been prompt and courteous. We will have her pet sit the next time we leave town.”

11. Kimberly H.

“BOOK KIM! We have a very Large Great Dane, a tiny Frenchie and a panther cameleon & Kim was super sweet & took amazing care of them all where we felt we could go on vacation without worry. Because of our Dane's size, we haven't had the best of luck with sitters and Kim right away made us feel confident and safe during our initial meet and greet. Our dane listened to her and she kew that despite his size, he is just a big old love bug. She even started to play fetch with them right away, they loved her! She is a great all around sitter for any size dog or pet and you can tell she had been around many different breeds and loves animals. We also got a TON of photos, full communication & updates while gone and came back to a freshly made bed and calm happy dogs! We will be rebooking her- hire her!”


12. Isabella F.
“Isabella has cared for my dog in the past and she was absolutely incredible. I can relax knowing my pets are well cared for and I’m glad to have access to such a wonderful caregiver. I would recommend Isabella to any pet owner looking for a pet sitter/walker that they can fully trust to care for their animals in the same way they would.”


13. Mia M.


“Mia did a wonderful job caring for our dog and cat while we were away- they were calm and happy upon our return. We felt comfortable knowing she was at our house, and she did an excellent job communicating with us.”




14. Melanie R.
“When I’m in need of someone to take care of my Daisy, Melanie is my go to pet sitter. My pup is a rescue and has some issues with certain things that scare her. Melanie’s compassion and patience with my Daisy is top notch. I appreciate that she makes sure my pup is always comfortable ( even if it means taking up half the bed!) and in a peaceful environment whenever we leave Daisy with her at her house. And when we had in home animal care, Melanie is very thoughtful not only in making sure our pets are well cared for but our place seems to look better than when we left it! I will always use Melanie for all my pet and or house sitting needs.”

She has a deep love for all animals and is compassionate and loving. I have no reservations about recommending her for your service. Her clients will be very happy to have her watch their pets. Thanks Chris Wagner”


17. Jessica R.

“This is the third time Jessica has taken care of our animals and the second time she has house sat for us. We cannot even begin to express how much we appreciate Jessica for staying with our dogs and cats. She went above and beyond to hang out with them, give them cuddles and love, and treated our home well. We will definitely be asking Jessica to help the next time we go out of town! Highly recommend her to anyone else who needs someone to stay home with their rambunctious group for animals.”
