Ellen was absolutely amazing with my dog! From the moment we met her, it was clear how much she genuinely cares about animals. She was attentive, responsible, and went above and beyond to make sure my dog felt comfortable, safe, and loved while I was away. She kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was obvious my dog was not only well taken care of, but truly happy in her care. When I came home, everything was perfect—and my dog was calm and content, which says it all. I would 100% trust Ellen again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and dedicated dog sitter!

Mina is a friendly, calm, and communicative sitter! We had a very pleasant meet and greet despite my dogs being pretty annoying and yappy at strangers. She took wonderful care of my two pups for a housesit for a day, and it was clear from the photos that they warmed up to her quickly! Would gladly have her back and recommend her to other dog parents.

Duncan was a professional and responsible caretaker. He went above and beyond our expectations when he took care of our 2 dogs Honey and Pickles for two weeks. Before even starting the job, he met us in a freezing blizzard for a simple meet + greet, which I think immediately showed his dedication to the job. He also cleaned up around our house when the dogs were making a mess, not something that we asked him to do — but rather something that he proactively did. One of our dogs, Honey, has anxiety. Duncan even stood overnight on New Years Eve just to help her stay calm during the fireworks, which I believe is something your average dog caretaker wouldn’t do! He was also very responsive with text and sent us updates every day. I felt much peace of mind because I knew Duncan was taking our two dogs on 2 walks every day, feeding them on time, and spending some time with them too. I would definitely recommend Duncan to a friend and would rebook him myself!

First time using Rover and let’s just say we hit the jackpot! My wife & I usually use a family friend when we are traveling so when our pet sitter wasn’t available, we looked into options on Rover. After viewing several profiles, Angela met the description we were looking for & fortunately enough, she was available to watch our furbabies! Angela was responsive throughout the entire booking process & even stopped by earlier to meet our dynamite duo! From the moment Angela arrived, she provided updates regularly with the cutest pictures and videos making us know how comfortable Natalie & Nico were in her care! We will definitely be using Angela again! She left our house exactly how we left it — we cannot THANK her enough!!

Kristen was great from the meet & greet forward. At the meet & greet when I suggested a quick walk to shiw her where we go she took the leash and started harnessing Captain up. Was responsive, pleasant and a pleasure to deal with. I set a cadence expectation on check ins and she went above and with pictures. You can tell she respected my home during the stay. The most important part of knowing she did a good job was that Captain, while estatic to see me, was mopey the next day and you can tell he misses Kristen already. I will 100% be utilizing Kristen in the future.

Stefan was a wonderful dog sitter for our 9 year old pitbull mix! He stayed the weekend with her, caring for all her needs and providing her company. His calm energy was a great match for our pup who can be a little anxious and wary of strangers. Stefan was also a very respectful guest in our home and kept us updated regularly with photos and how she was doing. Thank you Stefan!

Dan was a life saver for watching my boys on relatively short notice when my friend cancelled. I'm always hesitant to have new people watch my pups because they are a bit quirky. But Dan suggested a meet and great and everyone seemed comfortable, including me! This trip was unlike any before because I literally had no cell service and I wasn't able to access wifi but a few times while gone. When I did finally get access, I caught up on plenty of pictures and updates on what was happening back home. This certainly put me at ease and I was able to enjoy being off the grid and know my boys were being exceptionally well taken of! Thank you Dan, I think Mannie and Jeter have found their new buddy while I'm away...

Stella was amazing! She watched Franklin overnight and did such a great job keeping me updated with pictures and messages throughout the stay. That meant so much to me especially since Franklin can get pretty anxious when I am away. I felt totally at ease knowing he was in good hands. I would absolutely recommend Stella and would happily book her again! :)

She was very communicative and gave us daily updates on how everything was going. This allowed us to relax on our vacation knowing that our pets were in good hands. We will definitely be booking Stephanie again in the future and would highly recommend her for pet/house sitting! Thank you again for everything Stephanie!

Angela is truly a cat whisperer. We were away for almost two weeks and Angela put us at ease - sending us regular photos and updates of our three cats. It is clear that our kitties loved her. She was thorough with daily feeding and litter needs, and most importantly, did a lot of cuddle and enrichment activities with our cats. We would highly recommend Angela, and there is no doubt that we will be leveraging her again for our upcoming trips!

Taylor has sat for our pup many times but this was her first overnight stay and it went GREAT. She stayed with Mr. Scruff for four nights and we were so thankful to not have to worry about him at all while we were gone. We got plenty of updates, she followed all of our instructions (especially important with his separation anxiety and reactivity), and was also a great houseguest. Our buddy was belly up, playing, and eating while we were away, which means he felt safe and happy — all we can ask for!

Mounika was absolutely wonderful! She stayed at our home with our 8-month-old puppy and provided thoughtful, regular updates throughout her stay, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Our puppy can be quite a handful at times, but he absolutely adores her. She was patient, attentive, and clearly cared for him as if he were her own. On top of that, she helped us navigate an unexpected HVAC issue while we were gone and left our home spotless. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would recommend her without hesitation. 100/10!
