1. Abigail F.

“Abigail was once again amazing with our dogs while watching them in our home overnight. She is always quick to respond and provides plenty of info.”


2. Sarah & Alvin H.

“Sarah and Alvin took GREAT care of our pup, and our home! They kept us updated frequently with pictures and videos of him (which I love) and wrote kind notes about their days too. Our home was spotless when we returned and they were so easy to work with! Highly recommend🩷”




3. Zach D.

“Zach was everything we could have wanted in a dog sitter and more! Zach watched our very active husky Sven the night of my husband and I's wedding and even picked him up from our wedding venue since Sven was a part of our ceremony. He gave us text and photo updates of our little fur baby throughout his stay and made what could have been a stressful aspect of our day, completely stress-free. I recommend him for any and all of your pet care needs!”

“Ryenne did a great job taking care of our pups. We will definitely recommend her.”

9. Christine S.
“Chrissy took care of our 3 dogs (South African Mastiff, Shar-Pei and Italian Greyhound) and all 3 dogs loved her! She walked, fed and took them out for exercise and we couldn't be happier. She stayed in contact the entire time and was reliable for the time we needed the help with our pets. Highly recommended!”


10. Rebecca A.

“I know that my girls are happy that I am home. However I swear they keep running to the door looking for Rebecca. This makes me very happy. All 6 of our "kids" are happy and were well cared for. We have officially adopted Rebecca. So happy we tried Rover and found her!”


11. Mary K.
“Mary is amazing! My fur babies love her so much, and she is so communicative which made me feel so comfortable with leaving. I would recommend her to anyone who needs a pet sitter, she’s the best!”


12. Olivia H.


“Olivia watched my Carly over the 4th and did a wonderful job. I felt very at ease throughout the day with the updates she sent me and for taking extra time to love on my Carly during fireworks since my dog is not fond of them. She didn’t have to stay an extra hour to make sure she was calm but she did and that extra effort is so appreciated. Will definitely be booking Olivia again in the future for any pet sitting I may need.”


13. Jayson C.

“Jayson did a great job watching my fur babes! He sent us lots of photos and updates without even needing to ask. I felt comfortable and reassured that my pups were well taken care of while I was away. Would def rebook and reccomend.”


14. Daphne F.

“Daphne was amazing with my two kitties! She came on time, played with them and updated me daily with pictures, leaving me feeling relieved while on vacation knowing they are in good hands! She was so respectful of my home and truly went above and beyond. I would definitely use her again and recommend her services!”


15. Tina W.

“Tina did an excellent job caring for my Finley! She sent ample updates and took the cutest photos and videos while I was away. She gave me peace of mind especially because my dog is taking different medications and is a bit stubborn. She was professional and ready to take on the task. I highly recommend booking her services.”


16. Brittani S.
“Brittani is a truly exceptional pet caregiver who has an unmatched love and dedication for animals. She has taken care of our pets and those of our friends and family countless times, always going above and beyond to ensure they are happy, safe, and loved. Brittani is reliable, responsible, and attentive, treating every pet as if they were her own. Her genuine warmth and connection with animals make her a natural at understanding their needs and providing the best possible care. I cannot recommend Brittani enough to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and loving pet sitter. She is the best!”




17. Bonnie C.


“Bonnie was incredible! She went above and beyond for Blanche, who I think was genuinely sad to see her go. We plan to book Bonnie any time we need a hand in the future as she’s available.”


18. Claudia L.

“Claudia was super! We hired her to stay with our dog for 3 nights. She was responsive, sweet, timely and left our house in perfect condition. I would definitely recommend her.”


19. Allyson P.

“Allyson was amazing. My buddy Barnaby had a great time. She even sprained her ankle & fought through the pain to take care of my guy. Highly recommend & plan to use her help again.”


20. Emma L.

“Emma was nothing shy of amazing with our two pups and two kitties! She sent us photos and updates daily and followed the regime we laid out for her to a tee, something that was very important to us as we wanted to disrupt our fur babies’ schedule as little as possible. She was punctual, kind, and respectful of our house. Highly, highly recommend booking with Emma! We’ve already rebooked her to house sit for two upcoming work trips ☺️ thank you for exceeding our expectations, Emma!”
