Scott was wonderful! He did a great job taking care of our pets and home while we were away. He tried multiple methods to give our cat her medicine and was patient and caring throughout. He also made sure our dog got regular walks and plenty of attention. He was respectful, tidy, and left the house very clean. Communication was great and we really appreciated how reliable he was. Highly recommend!

I had such a great experience with Raven! She took amazing care of my schnoodle during an overnight stay. She was very attentive, thoughtful, and clearly experienced with dogs. She made sure he got plenty of walks and kept me updated with lots of photos, which I really appreciated. Communication was easy and responsive from start to finish, and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in good hands. I would absolutely hire her again next time without hesitation!

Corvin was a perfect and responsible pet sitter for my anxious Bunny. He sent lots of pics and updates so I felt very confident that B was in good capable hands throughout my absence. He was very respectful of my home, too. I will be rebooking w Corvin very soon in the future. Thank you so much!

Ursula was fantastic, kind, patient, and highly communicative with us while watching our dog and cat for the weekend. Our dog happened to be dealing with a bit of a hot spot issue and she managed him with such grace and care, I truly appreciate her. I would not hesitate to book her again or recommend her to others. Thank you, Ursula!

This is the second time Ethan has stayed with my 2 doggos for a close to a week. They both love Ethan, and were happy to have them stay (well, Percy is really only happy when I'm home, but he was as happy as he GETS when I'm not around). Ethan kept my garden alive for a week during August and the house looks as good or better than when I left it. We will happily have Ethan back again the next time I go out of town.

Michelle did a wonderful job caring for our sweet Greyhound and house sitting while we were out of town for a week. She sent us frequent updates and photos, along with tales of the fun she and Brooke had together. We returned to a happy pup and a clean house :) I felt everything was in good hands while I was gone and the peace of mind really contributed to making our vacation a worry-free time away. We will definitely call on Michelle and Adam in the future and highly recommend their services!

We highly recommend Sparkle! She thoughtfully communicated with us throughout our trip and sent us adorable photos of our cats daily. This made leaving them for the first time slightly less daunting. She took great care of our house and our two kitties. We came home to a clean house and two healthy, happy cats. We are so fortunate to have found her and will request on all of our future vacations.

Michael is so awesome!!!! My fiance and I booked a trip for a concert, and didn't realize our hotel did not allow pets unattended and had decibel alarms. He seriously saved the day. I booked VERY last minute (8 hrs prior to sitting, and brand new to rover). Michael responded extremely quick with very clear communication. Brownie points for the bathory shirt for sure. My pup is anxious and hasn't had to stay with a stranger like this and he seemed to do great w Michael. We got plenty of updates, and again super clear communication about our pup! He really did so amazing and we could tell our lil guy was happy after being in his care :) THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!

The house was clean and Alsea was tired (in a good way) and well-adjusted when I got home. I will definitely call Anna again for future pet sitting needs!

I highly recommend Emily! I have a nervous pup who had never done in-house sitting before and Emily helped her feel positive and comfortable about the experience. The house was in great shape and everyone was in good spirits upon my return. It was a comfort to know both my cat and dog were diligently cared for while I was away.

She helped me out in a pinch when I accidentally scheduled for the wrong night and she is so bright and intuitive regarding my dog needs. She responds promptly to all messages and ask wonderful questions about anything and everything. I love this as I am a very needy and worried dog, Mom when I am away..

Taylor took great care of our two dogs while we were away for a weekend. She sent lots of great updates of the pups and they loved her right away, and spent a good amount of time snuggling with her. I could tell from the updates that they were comfortable with her and not stressed that we were gone. They are very different dogs - one is a senior, one is high energy - and she balanced their care really well. We will absolutely be rebooking with Taylor next time we need a sitter!
