1. Rachel B.
“Rachel was fantastic! Very responsible and on the ball and super caring of our cats. One of our guys is older and needs medicine and lots of care. She really made sure he was taken care of and comfortable. She was also super communicative, which I loved; it put my mind at ease! I highly recommend Rachel to watch any of your pets!”
2. Brianna N.
“Bree was fantastic to work with as always! She took the best care of our pup Godfrey and cat Pork and sent great updates throughout the house sit. We feel very lucky and look forward to working with her again soon!”
3. Naomi E.
“I recently had the pleasure of having Naomi pet sit my puppy, and I couldn't be more impressed. Naomi went above and beyond by sending regular updates with pictures and text messages, which really put my mind at ease. She also took care of extra tasks like bringing up the trash bins and collecting the mail, which was a thoughtful touch. When I returned home, the house was spotless, and my puppy was clearly well cared for. I will definitely rely on Naomi for future vacations and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone in need of a fantastic pet sitter.”

“Dan took excellent care of my dog, Billy, while I was out of town for the week. He sent frequent updates and made sure Billy stayed on track with his meds.

9. Rahul K.
“Rahul was a wonderful sitter to my boys! There is always that fear when you leave your fur babies with a stranger. Rahul from the moment we came to the moment he left set my concerns aside. He constantly updated me via text and pictures. I would without any doubt hire him again. A great addition to the rover sitter prospects.”

14. Colin G.
“I can’t recommend Colin enough! He took such amazing care of my dog while I was away. From the initial meet-and-greet, it was clear he had a natural connection with animals and genuinely cared about their well-being. Colin provided regular updates with pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. My dog came back happy, healthy, and clearly well-loved. Colin is reliable, professional, and truly goes above and beyond. I will absolutely be booking with him again!”

“Logan was awesome. Super communicative with my partner while I was incommunicado, took great care of my house, and even took Ruby on some extra field trips out of the city to stretch her legs. I came home to a very happy and healthy pup. Highly, highly recommend!”
20. Mike B.
“It was the second time that we used Mike’s help in looking after our two rather high-maintenance dogs. Just as last time, Mike stayed at our place and did a fantastic job of keeping the dogs happy and safe. While we were away, Mike provided us with pictures and updates every single day. We are very grateful to Mike for his great service and friendly attitude. Look forward to many more of Mike’s stays in the future!”
