1. Matthew R.

“Matthew was simply incredible. He provided constant updates, pictures and walks every day. Took this job on short notice and made us feel incredibly comfortable while we were away. He’s a great choice and we look forward to continuing our relationship with him! ❤️”


2. Melisa H.

“Melisa did a great job taking care of our dog and home while away. She sent lots of updates which was really appreciated. We’ve had Melisa dog sit for us before and would recommend her to others!”


3. Amber Y.

“Amber is a plus plus pupper sittter. She is flexible (we had crazy flight issues) and she was flexible enough to stay with our doggoes and house-sit with the pups that are rarely alone. Tatoe and Wally love her!”


4. Nichole T.


“Absolutely phenomenal lady!! My dogs are a bit of a handful sometimes (two Dobies) and she rocked it!! Sent me pix and updates throughout her stay and even worked with me since I was getting back late due to my daughter’s birthday. HIGHLY recommend!!!”


5. Ciria V.

“Ciria brought me so much piece of mind during a last minute booking during a family emergency. Ciria sent frequent photos, videos, and updates, and followed my instructions to a T! I'd absolutely use Ciria again.”


6. Belle C.

“We are so happy we found Belle. She was a great in house sitter for our big guy Tony. She treated our home like her own and it was just as clean and tidy as when we left. She was attentive to Tony’s needs and did everything we asked of her. Communication was great and we would love to book her again.”


7. Jessica A.

“Jessica is amazing and a life saver. She adhered to all of my precautions and vet's orders (which were extensive). She was extremely understanding when we had to rush one of dogs to urgent care multiple times this week and managed to help us by feeding 10 newborn pups all by herself (which is incredibly difficult). I will definitely be booking with her again.”


8. Nev W.

“I'm so glad I found Nev for a last minute trip. They were so thorough during our meet and greet, and my shy cat Yuki took to them immediately. I felt so secure, knowing they were with my babies all weekend! I can't wait to book them again.”


9. Roberto U.

“Roberto took excellent care of my dogs and house! Will definitely be using his services again!”


10. Steven R.
“Steven has been an absolute lifesaver for me and my pets! He has stayed at my house multiple times, taking care of my dogs and cat, and I couldn’t be happier with his care. He’s reliable, communicative, and clearly loves animals. My dogs adore him—they get plenty of playtime, walks, and attention, and I always come home to happy, well-cared for pups. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing my pets are in such great hands. I highly recommend Steven to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. Let me know if you’d like to personalize it further!”


11. Jianna C.
“I couldn't be happier with the care Jianna provided for my dog! She is incredibly knowledgeable about dogs and their needs, which gave me great peace of mind. Her communication was excellent—she kept me updated with photos and messages, ensuring I always knew how my dog was doing. Jianna is also very reliable, showing up on time and following all of my instructions carefully. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and experienced sitter!”


12. Dena S.

“I cannot say enough about Dena! She went above and beyond to make sure my dogs (both with anxiety around people) were comfortable with her - my cat likes everyone! She was willing to come over a few times before pet sitting to allow them both to get used to her and that made all the difference (even though Gidget still gets a bit nervous - but that's just her). I tend to get anxiety around leaving my pets, but her willingness to work with them (this involved lots of treats!) and, at the same time allowing me to get to know her, eased my anxiety and allowed me to really enjoy the time away with my family over the holidays and not worry about my pets. I will definitely book her again!!!!”


13. Tangina R.

“Amazing, professional and personable! We booked suuuuper last minute....as in a few hours before and she took care of our two pups like they were her own. Highly recommend! We found our go-to pet sitter!”


14. Angelica V.
“I can’t say enough good things about Angelica! From the moment I met her, I knew my dog Judy was in good hands. Angelica is professional, caring, and incredibly attentive. My dog, who’s typically a bit anxious, warmed up to her instantly and seemed genuinely. It’s clear that Angelica has a real love for dogs, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the exceptional care she provided. I will absolutely be booking again in the future! Highly recommend!”


15. Jesus Miguel G.

“Miguel is just the best! He takes such good care of my dog go, and sends updates and pictures throughout the day. He is very accommodating to my long hours. My dog is always so happy after his days with Miguel.”


16. Sara R.


“Sara took amazing care of our two needy cats! She sent wonderful daily updates and pictures, and we were thrilled at how comfortable our cats were with her. We'll definitely be booking her again!”


17. Odalys H.

“Amazing! I have to admit….we were a bit nervous using Rover for the first time but the Odalys were great! I totally recommend to anyone who needs a house/dog sitter. Very communicative. Our little dog loved them!”


18. Steph O.

“Exceptional!! I got messages, photos and videos throughout the booking. Our pup was so happy. Even washed the sheets so I came home to relax and not have to do anything. Highly recommend and will definitely be using again.”


19. Dominique V.

“Dominique took great care of our two energetic pups while we were out of town! We knew our pups were in great care 😊”




20. Jen U.


“Jen was wonderful! We have 4 larger dogs- she sent lots of pictures and was a great communicator! One of our pups had a little anxiety and barked a bit the first night. Her response was to help her feel more comfortable, extra playing and even sleeping in the living room where the dog was more comfortable. She put our pet’s needs as priority one. We are very grateful and expect to use her again soon!”
