1. Savanna T.


“Savanna and Maddy took amazing care of our shy cat. We got updates daily with pictures and a summary on how she was doing, and it was very evident that Savanna was extremely knowledgable about cats and was treating ours with both love and respect. We came back to a clean home and a happy cat, and are planning to book with them again. I would 100% recommend these ladies to anyone looking for a sitter who has buckets of love to give and the knowledge to back it up.”


2. Tiana S.
“Tiana is great with all pets. She’s the only person who I trust to walk my dog. She is very reliable, responsible, and responsive. My Oscar loves her and it’s nice to know that he is safe and in good hands with Tiana. I cannot recommend her enough!”


3. Aaron O.

“Once again, Aaron stepped in at the last minute for me and was so helpful! He went above and beyond, even when he had other priorities and his own dog to take care of. I am so impressed with his communication, the pictures he sends, and the love he has for my pup!”


4. Johnny L.
“I’ve known Johnny for almost ten years, and he is without a doubt one of my favorite people! He is exceedingly kind, thoughtful, conscientious and responsible. And has a smile and a fun loving, positive attitude that’s contagious. Our dogs as well as all of the humans we know trust and adore him.”


5. Raiysa E.

“Raiysa is a Queen!!! I could not have asked for a better dog sitter for my two rescue dogs!!! They require special care and she went above and beyond. I feel confident in saying that she is, in fact, an animal whisperer. While I was away, Raiysa sent me tons of videos, pics, and updates. If she had a question, she reached out, even just to be safe. I felt so at peace knowing my quirky, needy, attention loving dogs were safely in her hands. Thanks again, Raiysa! Queso and Honey send their love, until next time!”


6. Sierra C.

“Sierra stayed at my apartment in the BX to watch my 45lb rescue pittie for three weeks in May, and I highly recommend her! She was responsive and so generous coming all the way from NJ to meet my pup and me first and incredibly responsive before the day of. Every day she sent me text and/photo updates, and it was super clear my pup was very well cared for and loved. Coming back, pup was happy and healthy and the apartment was clean as I left it (thanks, Sierra!).”


7. Magdalena M.
“Our dogs love when Magdalena comes over to walk them! She is incredibly patient and kind with them. You can tell she really loves dogs and has fun with them. We recommend her to all our fur parent friends!”


8. Joel F.
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats of many different background: old, young, healthy, unhealthy and all of them have been given great care and attention. For the summer, my week is completely open. I can be contacted any day of the week to schedule a job at any day of the week as well. I have a wonderful cat of one year, and before I moved out, I had a small dog that I would take care of and walk. To ensure excellent care, I will make sure that my clients pets are given everything they need from all necessary information provided by clients— nothing will be left out of order.


9. Chenelle S.

“Chenelle was so responsive during her stay. She was available and always answered our texts. Our animals were happy, we received lots of videos, and the house looked great when we got home!”


10. Shelly G.


“TRUSTWORTHY that word has weight, these days. I trust her with Momo, alone, in my house, for days. She delivers. She’s got a wonderful sense of humor. You know? Total dog person”


11. Nicole Y.
“Nicole is so kind, considerate and caring. She has known our little dog, Percy, since he was just a puppy. They absolutely adore each other!”


12. Wendy K.

“Wendy was easy to work with and communicate with. Our dog immediately liked her and we felt same and comfortable knowing she was well taken care of.”


13. libby b.

“Libby watched Aura for the first time and did such a great job! She handled all of Aura’s quirks (nervousness going outside and some resource guarding) like a champ. Libby was responsible (both with taking care of aura and while staying at my apartment), communicative (kept me in the loop but didn’t inundate me with updates, which I’d specifically requested), and easy to work with (made sure we had a thorough meet and greet beforehand). The first day out of town with a new sitter is always the most nerve wracking but within just a few hours, I knew Libby had it covered! I was able to have a stress-free vacation and didn’t need to worry. So grateful to find her on rover and definitely will be booking again! Thank you!”


14. Emily M.

“Emily did an absolutely amazing job with our 10 month puppy! We were sent so many cute and thoughtful updates with photos and videos! I would HIGHLY recommend!!!!! Emily was definitely a star dog sitter!!!!!”


15. Chrisalyn G.


“Chrisalyn is such a nice and understanding individual to us fur baby owners, She took all of my request for Poe and Priya in stride, Chrisalyn took such good care of the pups and even got our shy girl to play and feel comfortable. I would ask Chrisalyn to watch my pups again 100%. I would also recommend her to any pet parent I know.”


16. Tosha D.


“Tosha is so great with my senior pup Rosie who is quite shy around new people. Rosie clearly loves her! I appreciate Tosha’s responsiveness and all of the photos she sends me. Thank you!!”


17. Casey S.
“I have known Casey for years and have seen him interact with a variety of pets. He is kind, caring, and watchful. He has looked after my dog several times, administered my dogs meds as directed, and provided me with updates during my time away to ease my mind. He takes the time to create a safe and welcoming environment for animals and takes pride in his work. If you're looking for someone who will go above and beyond for your furry friend, then look no further. Casey is THE person for the job. 10/10 stars. I absolutely recommend his services.”


18. Kamila C.

“can’t recommend Kamilla enough as a petsitter! Nova is usually very reserved and doesn’t like people touching her, but the moment Kamilla arrived, they connected right away. Seeing that bond instantly put me at ease, knowing Nova would be in great hands. Kamilla kept me updated with pictures and regular communication, which made me feel even more comfortable while I was away. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares and goes the extra mile, Kamilla is the one!”


19. Jordan P.
“Jordan has an awesome ability to create a connection with anyone he meets, including pets. I’ve personally entrusted Jordan with my dog when I went away on vacation for a week because I trusted that he would have given him the best care possible.”


20. Amber A.

“Amber has kept my Buddy and Nala safe and sound while I traveled to handle family affairs. She has been great and kept in constant contact letting me know how they were doing.”
