Brian and Jerri are the BEST! This was my first time leaving my 5 year old Azuki with someone through Rover and we had the best experience. Brian and Jerri arranged a meet and greet which was great so we could discuss Azuki's needs as well as the rules of their home. Azuki spent 4 days with them and she came home soooooo happy. Brian was great communicating with me and sent me pictures to show me Azuki was doing well. It was the first time I have left Azuki with someone and felt totally safe and secure that she was being taken care of (even when I have had dogsitters in my own home!) so i didn't feel the need to keep checking on her. Azuki had tons of pets and playtime. We immediately booked our next stay because it went so well! Thank you Brian and Jerri!!!!

Trish came back happier than usual, was updated every day she was staying during my travels and any concerns on behaviors were immediately told to me with quick responses! Absolutely would recommend for anyone looking for a trustable caregiver for their pets to stay when needing a sitter!

Maellin was an absolutely wonderful dog sitter; she had excellent communication across the board. Sharing updates and photos of Navi every day. I could tell from the photos that she took such good care of her, Navi was smiling, and really warmed up to Maellin, which she doesn’t do with everyone. It was over the 4th, and Navi was quite nervous about the fireworks. Maellin took every measure to ensure her greatest ease and comfort, bringing her into their bedroom and turning on some background noise to help drown it out. Maellin is also a wonderfully sweet human; she will 100% be my first choice anytime we need care for Navi.

My doggy passed on last week, and I am still very heartbroken, but I wanted to leave a review for Billy. I travel extensively for work, and over the past 3 years or more I have trusted Billy to take care of Finn. Finn was a rescue pup 13 years ago and had a tough puppyhood and was very afraid of people. He warmed up to Billy pretty quickly, and I sometimes would have to leave him with Billy for 3 weeks to sometimes over a month as I work overseas. I would get regularly updated reports and pictures, and I always felt that Finn was in good safe hands. I highly recommend Billy, he is a serious, trustworthy and reliable person to leave your pet with!

I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for Cooper, Ruby, and Duke. She immediately connected with all three of them — which says a lot, because each of my dogs has a totally different personality. She balanced their energy perfectly, made sure everyone got the right amount of attention, and kept their routines consistent. I received regular updates and photos every day, and it was clear they were not just being watched, but truly cared for. They looked happy, relaxed, and completely comfortable with her. The house was spotless when I returned, and the dogs were calm and content — a sign of someone who really knows what they’re doing. If you have multiple dogs, especially ones with unique needs, I can’t recommend her enough. She goes above and beyond, and I will absolutely be booking her again.

I can’t recommend Rachael G. highly enough! From the moment we met, I knew my pets were in the best hands. She went above and beyond to make sure my three high energy dogs felt safe, loved, and comfortable while I was away. I received daily updates, adorable photos, and thoughtful check-ins that gave me total peace of mind. When I returned home, my pets were calm, happy, and clearly well cared for—like they had been on vacation! The attention to detail, genuine love for animals, and professional reliability truly set Rachael apart. If you’re looking for a pet sitter who treats your furry family like their own, look no further. 🐾 I’m so grateful to have found Rachael and I’ll never use anyone else!
