“Second time having Déy stay with my shy senior cat Norman! I appreciate their patient approach with him and excellent care of my home, as well as being in daily communication with me. Recommended!”

“Ursula is seriously the best! She takes such good care of our two playful dogs as well as our house. She spends a lot of quality time with them, rather than just popping in for mealtime and walks. Always a treat when we book with Ursula ☺️”

“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!”

“House, pets, and plants were well cared for. Catherine went above and beyond to make our pets feel loved while we were away. We'll definitely contact her again for our future trips.”

“Melody was a great house sitter! It was our second booking with her. She was reliable, good with communication, and most importantly took great care of our dog. Left our house in great shape and even checked our mail while we were gone. We will definitely use her again.”

“River was patient and kind with our two dogs. She followed all directions perfectly. Was a wonderful house guest and communicator. Our shy dog even warmed up to her by day two.”

“Raven was excellent with our skittish rescue terrier, Frankie. She has severe separation anxiety and cannot be left alone for more than 30 seconds and Raven was the first person to watch her since we adopted her 5 months ago. We were surprised by how fast Raven won over her trust! I'd recommend Raven to anyone with an anxious pup!”

“Shannon went above and beyond taking care of our two dogs and cat while we were away for two weeks. She left our apartment immaculate and we came home to happy, relaxed pets. She sent us pictures and updates and was very responsive. She even figured out our fancy litter box when it jammed. Would highly recommend and would definitely use again!”


“Alicia provided amazing in home care for my 2 dogs. She is very professional, friendly and seems to genuinely love spending time engaging and caring for dogs. She proactively shared daily updates of their adventures and included some incredible photos.”


“Jasper and Jaydon took wonderful care of Muffin and my house! They were responsive, professional, and so kind and conscientious. I would recommend them to anyone!”

“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.”

“Heather is wonderfully kind and attentive! I felt very comfortable leaving her to dog-sit my dear pup at my house. She was communicative and caring, highly recommend and will book again :).”

“We love Ashley! Zia and Nacho were both happy when I got home from my trip which is always a good sign. House was clean and everything was well kept. Hoping to use her again in the future!”


“Erin was absolutely amazing, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She was able to get both of my kitties to come out of their shells a little more, took great care of them, our plants and our home. I would highly recommend Erin to anyone, and would be honored to have her back for future trips!”

“Jaycen was our first dog sitter from Rover. He did an excellent job. Our dog was well cared for during our 5 night trip. Jaycen stayed at our house. We returned to a clean house and a happy dog. We'll book Jaycen again for future trips.”


“Sparkle was AMAZING 🤩. We felt so safe leaving our cat and our dog who has never been away from me before and has a myriad of health issues in their care. We were updated with photos and came back to relaxed pets and a clean home. Would rehire Sparkle in the future in a heartbeat.”

“Donna was truly spectacular with my guys! I’m sure they’d give her 10/5 stars if they could! I was updated daily with pictures and videos of my dogs having fun on local adventures and regular status reports. She was a fantastic housesitter and I know Cogs and Wyatt already are missing her!”

Jae went above and beyond with watching my dog Cumo. She was extremely affectionate and loving with Cumo - making him feel safe and at home instantly. She was reliable, communicative, and took amazing care of my house, even going out of her way to help with the garden. Would highly recommend!

Heather took such amazing care of our little Marley! Marley is a dog that really needs human attention and comfort to thrive, and when we came home from our trip, Marley was so calm and relaxed. It is very obvious that Marley loves Heather quite a lot, and she was sad when Heather left after the sit was over. Heather is a great communicator and gave us lots of updates and really stuck to Marley's routine. I really couldn't ask for a better pet sitter for Marley. Heather is so great!

Kieran was so lovely and kind to our dog who is very sweet but suffers from anxiety. I’ve never seen our dog take to someone new so quickly. We instantly knew our dog was in great hands and that allowed us to enjoy our wedding weekend. Thank you again, Kieran!

Our two dogs had the best time with Sarah! She was sensitive to their very different diets and activity levels and kept us updated on how the dogs were doing while we were away. It was a relief for us to know they were in such great hands. Sarah was super easy to schedule with and we can’t wait to have her care for our dogs again.

Kay did an incredible job caring for our 2 dogs while we were away! They gave us regular updates about each morning and evening that made us laugh about our dogs. They followed instructions to a T and we always felt like our dogs were in great hands. They were very personable and friendly and we plan on using them again!
