“Elizabeth stayed with my Pomeranians for most of November due to work travel and then a personal trip over Thanksgiving. I always hate being away from my pups, but after the first two short stays for my business trips, I felt really good about being far away for 10 days over Thanksgiving, knowing they were in good hands. As always, Elizabeth was communicative, responsive and I could really tell she was getting to know their personalities and quirks. She also sent really fun updates, with a bit of humor and witty writing, but even better, the stories she texted me about were spot on with how they behave as a little pack. In addition, after her stay, I was putting harnesses on them to go on a walk, I noticed that my 9 month old pup Evie, who always ran around crazy when it was walk time and wouldn’t let me put her harness on, was coming up to me to get her harness put on. So, not only did she take good care of them, she somehow got Evie to understand how to put her harness on, and that chase was not part of that process. I’ll be forever grateful for whatever magic she did to get Evie to want to put on her harness! I will absolutely use Elizabeth again and highly recommend her to stay with your pets while on vacation or business travel.”
“Michelle is awesome! She stayed at our house and watched our golden for the night. You can tell she’s loves pets and is so good with them and is really focused on taking care of them. Our dog really liked her snd they had some great adventures! There were lots of updates and pictures, which we loved. Highly recommend her!”
“This is the second time we have had Gabriela watch over our dog and cat. We would highly recommend her, she is very friendly, great with the animals, easy to communicate with and sends lots of updates and pictures. We look forward to her watching our pets in the future!”
“Tianyu (Scarlett) was absolutely incredible! From the start, she did a meet & greet with our dog Lola and asked thoughtful questions — setting the tone for just how attentive and caring she is. She house sat and cared for Lola for 5 days, sending detailed daily updates and photos that gave us total peace of mind. She was also extremely responsive whenever we reached out, and when we got home, the house was spotless. Truly above and beyond care — for both Lola and our home! We’d absolutely recommend Scarlett to anyone looking for a sitter who will treat your pet and home with the utmost care. We’ll definitely be booking her again! 🐾”
“Keilah did a great job caring for my Golden Retriever in my home during my 3 day trip. She sent photos and videos of her walks and playing with my dog. She also took good care of my home. She was very professional in how she approached the job. Thanks, Keilah”
“Joy was absolutely wonderful with our dog! This was our first time having a dog sitter come to our home, and Joy made the experience so comfortable and stress-free. I could tell right away that Skye was treated with so much care and love. Joy kept us updated, took great care of her during walks, and was very attentive and thoughtful. We felt completely at ease knowing Skye was in such good hands. We will definitely be rebooking her in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter! 🥰🐾”
“Damian was a great sitter for our two kitties, Lizzie and Mei Mei. He stayed at our house for 10 days and was very responsive, providing daily check ins, as well as extremely punctual and professional. We will definitely be reaching out to him next time we need cat sitting! The cats were comfortable and so happy when we got back.”
“Zhi is phenomenal ! She took care of our two dogs for a week at our home. They enjoyed time with her spoiling them with treats and plenty of attention. Our older dog requires a little more care and Zhi did just that. She was so kind and caring to him, he truly loved her attention. Our younger dog has separation anxiety, Zhi was very attentive to him. He loved the walks she took him on. He loved her so much that when she left for a bit his howling made my neighbors worried lol. All in all, Zhi is an exemplar dog sitter. How she cared for our doggies and kept our home clean and tidy was well beyond expectation. Thank you Zhi ! Ollie misses you already.”
“LOVE Stephanie. I think Marley gets depressed for a couple of days after she leaves 😀. She constantly sends updates and photos and is very attentive to our old boy. We feel very comfortable having her with him. Highly recommend Stephanie.”
“10/10. No notes. Dionna was amazing!! She was so detailed, organized, thoughtful, and caring when looking after our 2 cats and Bernese Mountain Dog. She sent photos and videos regularly so we always had peace of mind. One of our cats can be skittish and grumpy around strangers but he seemed comfortable and at ease right away with Dionna. Would absolutely recommend Dionna for your pet care needs!”
“We had the pleasure of rebooking Mamu for a two week trip, and once again, they did a wonderful job caring for my high energy dog. Mamu is incredibly thoughtful and attentive by sending daily pictures and videos but also going the extra mile to care for my dog's specific needs. They have been working with my dog on his leash pulling. Mamu isn't just watching over your furry friend, but they truly engages with them and wants to help them thrive. Mamu is also very observant and always quick to communicate if something seems off or needs attention. My dog absolutely ADORES Mamu. If you’re lucky enough to book with Mamu, know that your pet, home and your peace of mind are in the best hands.”
“Rachel was wonderful! Super responsible and really put my mind at ease while we were traveling. She kept great communication and sent daily photos and videos, which I really appreciated. She left the place spotless, and I would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Mary was amazing! She dog sat at our home with our 35 lb frenchy-pit mix. She was with her for 4 days. She sent multiple pictures a day and helped a nervous fur-mama feel very comforted. She left the house immaculate! I feel so lucky to have found her. Thank you, Mary!!”
“Estela was very professional and friendly towards our dog. Somehow our dog instantly bonded with her and even though he has separation anxiety, with Estela he was quite comfortable and calm. I would like to request her service again.”
“Rita has been great with our dog! She has good work ethic and a lot of integrity. Our dog can be reactive at times and she has handled that well and worked with us to follow our guidelines and respect our boundaries. She is very knowledgeable and it shows in how she cares for our dog who is always so happy in the pictures. She is detailed at sending updates. Will be using her services again”

“Grace did a fantastic job! She sent many pictures of the pets, and we were very comfortable and relaxed while she was watching the pets. Grace kept in contact with me frequently, with any questions or concerns. The pets were very happy in the videos that she shared. We will definitely use her again.”

Jamie took great care of my dog and made me feel comfortable while I was away. She was reliable, attentive, kind, patient, and very sweet with him. My dog seemed happy and well cared for, and it gave me peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. I would absolutely book with her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter.
Kenny did an amazing job caring for my two cats while I was away for three weeks. Since my cats are normally very cautious around new people, I was impressed by how quickly he gained their trust. The daily updates and photos were greatly appreciated and gave me complete peace of mind throughout my trip. It was clear that he genuinely cared for them, and I came home to two happy, well-cared-for cats. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again.
Kristina gave me complete peace of mind while caring for my dogs. From the moment we met her, she had such a calm, kind, and reassuring energy, and my dogs immediately felt comfortable around her. She took the time to carefully listen to Lola’s specific needs and followed every instruction exactly as requested, which meant so much to me. I am especially grateful for the attention and care she gave to Lola. Throughout the entire stay, she kept me updated with frequent photos and messages, so I always knew how my girls were doing. Her communication was excellent, and I never had to wonder how they were doing because she was always proactive about keeping me informed. My request was made on short notice, but she still went out of her way to accommodate us, and I truly appreciated her flexibility and willingness to help. I’m incredibly thankful for the care she provided and would absolutely trust her with my dogs again. Highly recommended!
Diana was absolutely incredible! From the start, she did a meet & greet with our dog Lola and asked thoughtful questions that reassured us she really cared. She house sat and cared for Lola for 2 nights, sending updates and photos that gave us peace of mind. She was also extremely responsive whenever we reached out, and when we got home, the house was spotless. Truly above and beyond care — for both Lola and our home! We’d absolutely recommend Diana to anyone looking for a sitter who will treat your pet and home with the utmost care!
After using Rover for almost 5 years now I can safely say that Maria has been the best I’ve met so far! She’s super loving, genuinely caring, transparent and a true dog lover. She not only followed Rio’s schedule but went over and beyond by getting treats and fruit for him when they got over. Maria even cleaned up the house and linens which she totally didn’t have to but it just shows how sincere she is. She treated my home like her own 💕 and sent regular updates and pictures which I appreciated so much since this was a longer trip … Rio looked so happy in them! As we got home and it was time for Maria to head out, Rio gave her so many kisses and even went looking for her in the guest room later in the night. I truly appreciate you Maria, you are really the best. Rio and I hope to meet you again soon :)
Stephanie took care of our energetic German Shepherd Husky mix two times now while we were traveling. She is great with our large dog and clearly has lots of experience handling dogs. Our dog immediately enjoyed being with her and it was easy to tell that he was having a great time. She is very responsive, punctual and easy to communicate with. During our trips she provided frequent updates. She was very respectful of our place while staying here and left the house in perfect condition. We already booked with her again for our next trip and can absolutely recommend her as a dog sitter.
Damian was a great sitter for our two kitties, Lizzie and Mei Mei. He stayed at our house for 10 days and was very responsive, providing daily check ins, as well as extremely punctual and professional. We will definitely be reaching out to him next time we need cat sitting! The cats were comfortable and so happy when we got back.
Devin was a fantastic dog sitter. He was communicative, punctual, proactive, and went above and beyond taking care of our two dogs. He took them on lots of adventures and you could tell the dogs really enjoyed his company. The house was clean when we got home. Looking forward to having him sit again in the future!
Scarlett took such wonderful care of our dog, Snow Cone! She was so kind, flexible to a couple of last minute changes, and took lots of great photos. She communicated really well with us, with very prompt responses, and asked great questions during the meet and greet. We are excited to book her again soon!
Ava was awesome! She took excellent care of my cat and dog for two weeks, and went above and beyond when my dog needed to go to the vet. She had great communication and sent a lot of cute photos. Being so far away on my trip was made easier knowing my pets were ok and enjoying hanging out with her. Highly recommend!
Sara was wonderful! Great communication, lots of pictures. Our cats were totally comfortable with her (and they are NOT that way with everyone!). And she was able to trim their nails...even the cat who is more cautious/nervous. We haven't been able to do even one of his nails since we brought him home!
