SaeWon was incredible and the whole experience was smooth and easy. She was able to accommodate on short notice after our initial sitter plans fell through, and I was super grateful for that. Initially I was worried about Soleil staying with other dogs, but to our surprise, she got along great with the other dogs and it seems like she had a great time. She also sent us pictures and videos of them on walks and it was the cutest thing. I will definitely let her watch my dog in the future and would highly recommend it to others, it was fantastic.

Annie and her husband are down to Earth people with gentle souls, we immediately felt welcomed into their spotless home. I just felt it in my heart that she was “the one” to care for our little Buddy a senior dog. I received daily email updates and the sweetest photos of our dog napping peacefully as well as a cute photo shoot commercial, yes a commercial shoot. We will definitely use Annie again, when we can’t take our dog on vacation with is. Peace of mind is priceless, thank you Annie for allowing us to enjoy our little getaway knowing that Buddy was being well cared for and safe. Will definitely rebook.

I cannot recommend Bennie and Jennie enough. We sent our two cats to stay with them and I have never been more satisfied with a cat sitter. Their space is very cat friendly, which my cats clearly loved for the many updates we received during their stay. One of our cats needed ear drops twice daily and they were amazing with this-giving them to her with seemingly minimal resistance based on the video and photo updates they sent for each medicine application time. It was clear the cats were comfortable and well taken care of during their stay. We will not hesitate to book again for the next time we need a cat sitter.

It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our dog was in such good hands. He was reliable, attentive, and clearly loves what he does. We wouldn't hesitate to book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter. Thank you Kiryl!

My wife and I booked with Banafshe for a long weekend trip, after our go-to dog sitter was unavailable. We are happy we did. Before the sit, Banafshe was courteous and timely in replying to our handful of messages with questions. She was gracious enough to allow us to bring Huxley over for a quick meetup with her and her lovely family), before the scheduled stay. Banafshe followed up with us the day of to confirm what time we would be dropping Huxley off. Unexpectedly, our pup had a tooth pulled prior to the boarding, and Banafshe was very helpful in ensuring Huxley received his medication (in his food). Throughout the time of the boarding she provided thoughtful updates and photos and was very responsive. She checked in with us to confirm when we would be picking up Huxley and made sure his items we left with her, were in his bag. 10/10. We would trust her and her family with our furbaby again and I highly recommend. 🥰

She respected my instructions and politely asked if she can help with training or other activities. I would definitely recommend her and most definitely rebook in the future.

About: I am a stay at home mom with a great lifetime of experience caring for dogs. Dogs have always been a part of my home and family, and providing attentive, nurturing care comes naturally to me. Over the years, I have cared for many dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I am comfortable caring for young dogs, older dogs, and those who require special routines or medications. I am patient, observant, and gentle, and I focus on creating a peaceful, structured environment where dogs feel safe and relaxed. I believe in balancing activity with rest, offering appropriate play, outdoor time, and quiet moments based on each dog's individual needs. Because I am home full time, I am able to give dogs consistent supervision and adjust care as needed throughout the day. My flexible schedule allows me to provide reliable, attentive care that closely resembles a home with family setting. I am home throughout the day, which allows me to provide dogs with consistent attention, care, and companionship. Because my schedule is very flexible, pets are not left alone for long periods and are closely monitored in a calm home environment. I am happy to accommodate a wide range of drop off and pick up times. When needed, trusted family members are nearby to help ensure continuity of care. My priority is making sure your dog always feels secure, attended to, and comfortable. My home includes a secure, enclosed yard that allows dogs to enjoy fresh air and outdoor time safely. There is ample room for movement, rest, and supervised play. follow each dog's feeding schedule exactly as requested and make sure clean water is available at all times. I take routines seriously and am very attentive to any specific instructions so your dog's daily habits and comfort are maintained while in my care.

Connie earned my trust years ago. I have left my dog Yolanda with her probably 15 times. Connie seems to be super sensitive to the feelings of my dog, as shown over and over in the photos of Yolanda that she has sent daily during all of my dog's stays with her. Yolanda is not well and takes roughly 10 pills each day so I need to have someone who I can rely on during the times when I am away and that person is Connie. I don't take a trip unless I know Yolanda can stay with Connie.

We've encountered several great sitters through Rover, but Echo and Rita have really stood out as they've gone above and beyond for our dogs. One of our dogs is still a little young, but they handled her with care and kindness. We received daily, frequent updates about our dogs and could see clearly how they were so pampered and loved while we were away. They got frequent walks and playtime and snuggles. I daresay they were treated even better than at home and they truly enjoyed their time with Echo and Rita. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Echo and Rita to anyone looking for amazing sitters and we look forward to booking with them again! Thank you Echo and Rita for treating our dogs so well--we were able to really enjoy our vacation without worry while the dogs enjoyed theirs! I'm sure they're looking forward to seeing you guys again soon :)
