1. Faith S.

“We had used Faith once before for an overnight. This time we were lucky enough to get her for an entire week while we were on vacation. We were over the moon knowing we didn’t have to worry about our babies. Faith always goes above and beyond sending pictures and videos and updates, giving our 3 rascals all the love, playing with them, and general daily care. She is worth her weight in gold! :)”


2. Tyler L.

“This was our first time using Rover and we were a bit apprehensive but it worked out great! Tyler was wonderful with Teaka and Seeley. Our dog has dietary restrictions/medications and our cat is deaf and he was fantastic. We would highly recommend him to our friends and neighbors! Thank you Tyler!”


3. Savanna P.

“This was our first time having Savanna watch Yoshi since since we are new to the area and it was too far of a commute for Yoshi’s previous sitter. I’ve used Rover for years and have found some hidden gems, and Savanna is one of them. Savanna was very communicative and kept us updated with photos of their evening. Yoshi isn’t a difficult pup to watch, he’s quite lazy, but he is particular about who hangs out in his house, and there were no complaints! He loved having her here and so did we. It is such a relief to find someone you trust with your pup. Highly recommend booking with Savanna. We definitely will be using her services as Yoshi’s permanent sitter! ?❤️”


4. Claire A.

“Claire is the best cat sitter we’ve had. She is attentive and takes great care of both our cat and our house. She is a great communicator. Our cat absolutely loves her. We would recommend Claire to anyone in need of a cat sitter.”


5. Julie K.
About: I’ve taken care of animals for as long as I can remember dogs, cats even bunnies and guinea pigs, i love animals they are gentle and sweet and easy to talk to. I’m currently a stay at home mom to my little one year old so I am always available days nights or weekends whenever you need. If bringing your animals here I can provide bowls for food and water you can bring your own if you would like. It’s a pretty open concept house, we have locks on cabinets so your little fur balls can’t get in


6. Chelsea R.

“Chelsea was so wonderful! She came by to meet our dog and cat a couple of weeks before the booking and they loved her. She left the house in great shape (even ran the dishwasher for us!) and our pets were happy and healthy too. We will definitely book her again for future trips. We knew Alfredo and Bailey were well cared for while we were away!”


7. Elisa E.

“We have used Elisa's services multiple times. She can be counted on to be on time and has an amazing repour with our dog. Multiple times our dog has had medical issues and she was fantastic, and has frequent communications with us. I would recommend her for any situation.”


8. Dawn L.

“Dawn was wonderful with our dogs while we were away. Quincy and Zoey just loved her. They were so relaxed with her. I would highly recommend her. I would definitely have her watch my dogs again.”


9. michelle a.
“Michelle is amazing with animals. She has watched our dogs multiple times and even got our reactive dog to like her! There is never any worries when Michelle walks or watches our 2 dogs. I highly recommend her to everyone.”


10. Ashley M.

“Ashley was lovely and arrived on time. It was our first, but won't be our last. Her personality is very chill, which is a perfect compliment to looking after Whippets. So happy to have someone we can call now.”


11. Anna S.

“Anna was wonderful with our 4 month old puppy! She was a great communicator and provided photos and updates consistently. She not only took amazing care of our pup, she also took great care of our home. Having someone we trust provided so much comfort to us while we were away. We highly recommend Anna-and will absolutely work with her again!”


12. Kaden F.


“Kaden stayed overnight and took wonderful care of our rambunctious lab. We returned to a well exercised and happy boy. We will definitely use him again.”


13. Kelsey V.
“I can’t recommend Kelsey enough! She has watched my 4 year old black lab multiple times while I have been on vacation. I always feel comfortable when he is with her and she is constantly giving me updates and sending me pictures. I also can tell she actually loves him which makes it alot easier to leave him when we have to. Your animals will be in good hands with her for sure.”




14. Gabrielle L.

“Gabrielle was a great sitter! She sent tons of photos and was very responsive! You could really tell that she liked my cat and I felt safe leaving him in her hands!”


15. Megan B.
“Megan was my roommate last year and helped me take care of my cat (Quill) on many occasions. I would travel for long periods of time and she was always happy to show love to Quill, feed him, and play with him. I felt like he was in good hands while I was gone, or even when I worked late nights and couldn't feed him on time. You can just tell that she's a genuine animal lover and shows that in very caring ways.”


16. Carrie K.

“Carrie did a great job.”


17. Cassandra "Cassie" O.
“Cassie is a lover of all pets! She’s taken care of my two crazy dogs and if she can handle that she can handle anything.”


18. Hannah B.

“Hannah took great care of our dog Otto while we were away. She was always responsive and sent us photos. She even took Otto to the beach for a walk- his favorite place! Thank you to Hannah! She is a great dog and house sitter.”


19. Sam W.

“Can’t say enough good things about Sam. He has helped me on more than one occasion with my high-needs dog, Nia. Sam is punctual, communicative, and very considerate when working with my elderly pup. He’s always very thoughtful about sending pictures and follows all directions with my dog as expected. Nia is usually fairly anxious with strangers but every time Sam has watched her for me I’ve always come back to a very happy and well adjust a dog. Would definitely recommend!”


20. Sydney B.

“Sydney was absolutely wonderful and took great care of my pup. I was so grateful to find her on short notice, and really appreciate she made time to come by for a quick meet and greet before my trip. She kept me updated on how my pup was doing, and I came home to a happy, snoozy dog. I hope I’ll have a chance to work with Sydney again!”
