1. Guenivere P.
“Guenivere was able to step in on short notice for me, and even being in a pinch, I never felt anything but comfortable with her and the care I knew she would take of my home and pups! My three dogs immediately took to her and she to them. Her patience with my senior dog was evident from the beginning, which means everything to me! I was able to relax and enjoy my get-away with peace of mind knowing my crew was in good hands! I will 100% be a repeat client when the need arises. Can't recommend Guenivere enough!”
2. Lea B.
“Lea was amazing and went above and beyond to make sure our dog felt safe and comfortable! She kept us updated each day. We will always use Lea in the future!! 10/10 recommend!”
3. Latisha S.
“Latisha bonded instantly with my two dogs. She took great care of them while I was away. It’s obvious that she loves dogs and cares for them as if they were her own. Thank you Latisha!”
4. Christy J.
“Christy is a phenomenal sitter. She gave excellent details about what was going on and sent many pictures, which we were very grateful for! I would 100% recommend Christy to anyone needing a sitter, she’s the best!”
5. Andrea U.
“Andrea did a wonderful job dog sitting at our home for a weekend away. From our first communication, she was responsive and friendly and that carried over to our introduction meeting when she arrived promptly at our scheduled time. I was easily able to trust Andrea to care for our dog and house with her warm personality and attentive questions she asked about Duke’s care. She provided Duke’s medications to him without issue and gave great text and photo updates while staying with him. I would happily rebook with Andrea.”
6. Stephany R.
“Stephanie was great. Took care and spent lots of time with our dogs. Took great care of our home while we were away. Would definitely recommend.”

“Eve did an excellent job house sitting and caring for my elderly XL dog and kitty. She followed their elaborate medicine/vitamin regimen, and we were able to have a relaxing weekend away knowing they were well taken care of. Thank you!!”
8. Tara C.
“Tara was FANTASTIC. She took Annie on plenty of walks, gave her plenty of cuddles, and sent many updates (with pictures). Would highly recommend to ANYONE and will continue to use Tara for my dog sitting needs.”
9. Yunsin C.
“The BEST dog sitter we have ever had. I’ve never had someone warm up to our dogs so quickly and she did so well taking care of our fur babies. I am so happy to have found her and can’t wait to continue using her again for our future trips!!!”
10. Samantha P.
“Samantha is the best pet sitter ever, and she gives me so much ease taking care of the cats! You really are the best and I’m so appreciative!”
11. Luis R.
“Luis is a great sitter! He communicated with me throughout the whole visit. He was extremely flexible with the hours I needed. My doggy enjoyed his company! Definitely recommend him for your doggy sitting needs :)”
12. Jennifer B.
“Jennifer was awesome!! Our dogs are NOT easy, one is quite fearful and they both challenge new people in the house. But she was so patient with them and they warmed up to her quickly. We were able to have a relaxing vacation knowing they were in good hands! Highly recommend Jennifer and would book with her again in a heartbeat!”
13. Alyssa L.
“Absolutely amazing and detailed . Cared for both my dogs day in and day out. They absolutely loved her and had the best time while we were gone 💕💕”
14. Kylie F.
“My first time working with a house sitter and Kylie was great!”
15. Jonathan C.
“I hired Jonathan to look after my cat Merlin for a week while I was traveling and I was very happy with the level of care he provided. Merlin is a pretty shy kitty so he hid most the time. Even though my baby was not social, Jonathan made sure to monitor food/water intake, and also checked the litter box daily to make sure Merlin was using it and wasn’t having any problems. I’d absolutely hire Jonathan again. He’s trustworthy, gentle with your pet, and detail oriented.”
16. Matthew G.
“Matthew came and stayed with my senior dog and cat. They both loved him! I got loads of pictures and had a strong sense of comfort that the pets were being well cared for! He is great!”
17. Trace D.
“Trace was fantastic with my two dogs Dobby and Bing. He is very hands on and will take care of the pups like his own. He has experience with large dogs which was imperative for us. I highly recommend Trace and would definitely request his company for the pups.”
18. Nicole H.
“This is the 2nd time I’ve used Nicole to watch Wyatt & she’s great. I would recommend her. I go on a lot of long work trips & it’s great knowing my dog is safe ‘ cared for.”
19. Jill B.
“This was our first time using Rover and Jill was fantastic. She made us feel at ease leaving our dogs at home. She sent us regular updates which was great. Everything was neat and tiddy when we returned as well. Will definitely have Jill sit again the next time we are out of town.”
20. Tara H.
“Tara was great! She arrived on time, provided pictures and left my home neat & tidy! I would highly recommend and I will definitely come again.”
