1. Ashley A.
“This is our second time for Ashley to work with our fur babies. The pets remembered her and immediately were at ease. She spends quality time with them, takes care of their meds, walks, and cuddles. We arrived home to clean critters with cute collar bows and a clean house. 10/10 would recommend and will definitely call again!”
2. Alicia A.
“Will definitely book Alicia again and again. She is so good with the dogs, caring and communicative, and she was incredibly considerate of my home. Dogs adore her, and so do I! Highly, highly recommend. 1000/10”
3. Albert G.
“Albert was fantastic, he was extremely reliable and maintained great communication. He sent pictures and updates daily to let us know that things were going well. The animals were very happy when we returned! We were so please that we have already booked again!”
4. Johanna B.
“Johanna was amazing! This was my first time using Rover and she was great! She took pictures and provided constant updates on how they were doing. She left my place cleaner than I did and I was very grateful for her help. I will be using her again”
5. Zariah E.
“Zariah did a great job watching our girls, including dealing with one's upset belly during the first few days of our weeklong trip. Lots of communication and she stayed at our house for basically the entirety of the time we were away. A+, Zariah!”

“Selen is extremely professional and thorough. My pup loves her! She treats my house with respect and care. She is very reliable and will continue booking pet sitting with her! She’s amazing!!”
7. Anita B.
“Anita had a great connection with Munah; rights after our initial meeting I felt 100% comfortable that Munah was in good hands. Anita communicated well with me during my time away from home. She followed through on all of our terms that we agreed upon and kept me informed of Munah’s state throughout my time away. Will book with Anita again!”
8. Roger V.
“Roger was attentive, professional, and a great communicator. He was truly the most ideal person to trust with our pets after moving to a new city & trying to navigate pet care. We will 100% be booking him in the future, and we absolutely recommend him.”
9. Gage M.
“Gage was the greatest dog- and house-sitter ever! I received daily photos of my pup looking happier than ever. Can’t recommend Gage enough (and will definitely be a repeat customer next time I travel).”

“Heaven always does such a great job pet/house sitting. She is very responsive and always follows instructions and sends pics which we appreciate. She also made sure to ask questions first if anything came up! We highly recommend heaven”
11. Dani A.
“Dani was excellent with our dogs and she was very communicative with us- sending pictures, and updates regularly. Before she left she vacuumed, and washed her sheets and towels. We have already scheduled Dani to return.”
12. Ashley C.
“My dog LOVED his time with Ashley! My dog has pretty bad storm anxiety when he’s home alone, but I work all day so I can’t always be with him. Ashley got to my place early before I left for work and kept him company throughout the day! I came home and he was so calm and happy. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a sitter!!”
13. Ashley N.
“Ashley did a great job with our two dogs! She regularly sent photos updates and when we got home the dogs went looking for her in our guest room several times so they obviously loved her. She watched the dogs in our home and the house was tidy when we returned. Will definitely book again next time we travel.”
14. Sarah T.
“Sarah is amazing! She stayed with my dogs for the first time last night, and I appreciated how loving she was with them. Great at sending updates to me throughout her stay and took special care of the dogs and my home. I’ll be booking Sarah again!”
15. Lidia A.
“Lidia was perfect for my 3 weeks away in Asia. I have a senior Shih tzu and need someone who can stay in my house so that it is most comfortable for my aging dog. Lidia sent me photos and videos almost daily and my sweet Lulu looked so happy with her temporary mom that she became Lulu’s step mama! Lidia also has a small senior dog that stayed over and kept Lulu company. The two of them together were adorable. I will continue booking Lidia. She was more than what I imagined. My time away was completely stress free knowing my baby was happy and cared for.”
16. Samantha W.
“Samantha was prompt, polite and kind ppl great care of Snaxx. Would definitely use again for house or dog sitting! Highest recommendation!”

19. Ismael M.
“There is so many good words I don’t think it’s enough room to put down. He was amazing and had great communication skills. I enjoyed his concern for my dog and his patience with her. 10/10 and would definitely recommend and be a returning customer”
20. Tamaz Y.
“Tamaz is simply amazing with our fury friends. As a toddler, he loved his first dog Snowball (Shih-zhu). It didn't matter the time of day or weather, we could always count on Tamaz to walk, feed, and play with Snowball. As an adult, dogs simply gravitate to him. He's trusting, dependable, and caring. Book him for your next dog walk or weekend getaway!”
