“Diane is an excellent pet sitter. You can immediately tell she is extremely caring and attentive. She took great care of my boy Harry - walks, playing with him, and excellent general nurturing. Would definitely use her again.”
“Ellie was amazing! She took Taffy on all kinds of little adventures and sent me the cutest pictures. She was super communicative and I could tell Taffy had a great time without me because she’s already went back to sleep and I just got home. Thank you Ellie!”
“Bre was fantastic watching our Cat! He has some medical that require extra effort/ needs and Bre followed directions and was very communicative in times of doubt. She also took great care of our house. We will hire her again and highly recommend her to watch your pets!”
“Kayla is a wonderful pet sitter. My older poodle girl is hesitant to meet people, but from the moment Lyla saw Kayla it was instant acceptance. She knew she could trust her. Kayla communicated with us often. She was responsible and loving towards Lyla. I would highly recommend her to anyone that needs a pet sitter. Thank you, Kayla. We appreciate the support you gave to Lyla and us.”
“Dani was excellent with my pets. I received daily updates and photos from her. I have already booked her for future dates. I highly recommend her to help you with your pets.”
“Diamond was punctual, communicative, friendly, and caring with our dogs. Everything was left clean, and they seemed to be very happy with her. We highly recommend her service. She she lots of pictures and seemed to love them like her own!”
“Timothy is a 5 Star Pet Sitter! He is 100% responsible and responsive! Our dog is "high energy" and Tim took her our several times a day for walks. He has an obvious heart for dogs and our dog stuck right by his side when he was here. He also left the house in spotless conditiion. We feel very lucky to have had him pet sit for our family! The Lankfords”
“Sarah was absolutely wonderful!! Not only did she do an incredible job caring for our two dogs while we were away for the holidays, but I came home to an impeccably clean house. She is kind, so sweet to our pups and pays attention to all the little details involved in the day to day of their lives. It was so amazing to just enjoy our trip, knowing our furry loved ones were in such good hands. We would absolutely book Sarah again.”

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate person sitter.”

grant was hands down the most incredible pet sitter i've ever tried ever! he was so good at communicating quickly especially with me being in the virgin islands where service is only available in certain areas. not once while i was on vacation did i have to worry about my pup because i knew he was in good hands. grant even last minute excepted to watching my pup for 2 more days due to a flight delay. grant is who i will use anytime i need a sitter. my concierge was even telling me that zeus looked so happy while in his care PLEASE make sure to take the opportunity and book if he has open availability, you will not be disappointed
Naomi always goes above and beyond to make sure our pups are well cared for while we are away. She provides structured routines, lots of love, sends plenty of updates and videos! She is also very well rounded in her knowledge and handling of all types of dog temperaments and needs; our two pups have very different care requirements (ie one with medical needs and one is a young dog with a lot of energy) and she always does a fantastic job with them both! I would highly recommend her! (-:
Lidia was absolutely wonderful! From the moment we met, I felt completely comfortable leaving my pet in her care. She was dependable, communicative, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. Throughout the stay, she provided updates, photos, and peace of mind, which meant so much to me. My pet was happy, well cared for, and clearly received plenty of attention and affection. Lidia went above and beyond to make sure everything was handled perfectly. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and kind to care for your furry family member, I cannot recommend Lidia highly enough. I will definitely be booking with her again!
Aly took great care of our girls while we were away. She kept us updated throughout our trip with photos and messages, which gave us great peace of mind. She was thoughtful, reliable, and clearly cared for our pets as if they were her own. Aly also kept our home spotless, and went above and beyond by helping water our plants. We came home to happy pups and a well-cared-for house. We would gladly book with Aly again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive pet sitter.
Sarah took wonderful care of my dog, Kayleigh, during my recent 7-day business trip. From the beginning, she was warm, reliable, communicative, and clearly loves animals. She kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Kayleigh was happy, well cared for, and comfortable when I returned home, and I could tell she had received lots of attention and affection. Sarah also took great care of my home and made the entire experience stress-free. I would absolutely book with Sarah again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and professional sitter through Rover!
Keely was warm, friendly, and easy going when she came over before hand to meet my puppy. This was my first time using Rover and was impressed by the level of service received by Keely. She sent pictures everyday along with communication. If there were any concerns, all minor puppy behavior, she noted them via text. For example, asked how I handled my dog, an Australian Shepherd, wanting to sprint for several blocks and be an Olympic Champ (my words not hers), I gave her suggestions that have worked for me. All to say, she doesn’t hesitate to reach out and ask what works for your dog when needed. I would recommend Keely and use her services again if she is up to my energetic Australian Shepherd.
Kendall was absolutely fantastic. She house sitted for our American Akita while we were out of the country, which is no easy feat. American Akitas are very large dogs, and notoriously difficult to open up to people they don’t know. Within 10 minutes of meeting Kendall, all of my concerns were extinguished. She’s highly professional, great with communication, and has “the touch”, where my introverted girly was best friends with her the second they met. I undoubtedly will be hiring Kendall for any future needs, and any other owner with large dog breeds, especially shy ones, should as well.
I can’t sing enough praises for Ellie. I booked her to house/dog sit while I traveled to europe for the first time. I was so anxious about leaving my babies but Ellie stayed in constant communication and sent me plenty of videos and pictures. She even met with me prior to do a meet and greet and a test run with a little walk. My apartment building is confusing but Ellie managed to navigate it well. I’m a very anxious person but i’m now so relieved to have a trustworthy sitter. 10/10 will book again. THANK YOU ELLIE
