“Sterling did a great job with animals!! They all looked great and were happy and healthy on our return she was also able to coax my cat into saying hi and getting pets and loves while gone which is no easy feat!!. Will have her sit our animals again in a heartbeat!!”
“Freya did a great job making us feel comfortable with our kitty while we were out of town. She was very good at communicating with updates and pictures and kept the house nice and clean. Would definitely recommend”
“Selena was awesome with my dogs and cat. She accepted the booking on short notice and was on time and professional. She provided great care for them and went above and beyond. Would highly recommend and will utilize her services again. You should ask her how helpful she is around the house! 😁”
“Claire was wonderful with our dogs! She is incredibly gentle, kind, and patient, and it was obvious she genuinely cared about them. She listened carefully to all of our instructions and followed them exactly, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Our dogs were happy, well cared for, and comfortable with her, and we came home to very content pups. Communication was great, and we felt confident knowing they were in good hands. We were so pleased with the experience that we’ve already booked several more stays with her. We would absolutely recommend Claire to anyone looking for a reliable, caring dog sitter and will definitely be hiring her again! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
“Trula was great! She was so great with our dog and did a good job of sending updates and photos. I would definitely recommend her services if you are looking for a dog sitter! Thanks, Trula!!! :)”
“This was our first time having Katie watch our dogs and she was great! She communicated well, sent us lots of updates and pictures, and took great care of our house. She was very patient with our shy/anxious dog and took time to gain her trust. We will definitely use Katie again in the future!”
“Jen did a fantastic job sitting our mini-poodle mix, Arlo. He's a rescue with pretty serious separation anxiety, and it often takes him a while to warm up to strangers. Jen immediately made a concerted effort to make Arlo comfortable and was incredibly respectful of his boundaries. It was obvious from the first second that she had experience with anxious dogs, and she did a great job of keeping him calm and making sure he felt safe. I can't recommend her highly enough.”
“Susan did a great job on a long weekend stay with my 2 dogs. She was communicative, flexible thorough and sent regular updates. Most of all the pups were happy and calm when we arrived home. Will definitely hire again.”
“Debbie was great. She handled everything professionally, asked great questions, and even had some suggestions. Good communication leading up to and during our trip. We would use her again.”
“I had an excellent experience with Xanthia! She took care of Daniel twice a day and was incredibly reliable and attentive. Every time she visited, she sent detailed updates and pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Daniel looked happy and relaxed in every photo, and it was clear he was in great hands. I truly appreciated her care, communication, and kindness.”
“Heather took wonderful care of our senior citizen friends (dog and cat) and our home, while we were away. Both animals are very set in their routines and our dog, in particular, is needy from the standpoint of both oral and injectable medication. He also wears belly bands while we’re away. Both animals looked very happy and content when we got home. Our home was also well cared for. Heather is an excellent communicator and asks questions, if she has any. I would highly recommend Heather to anyone needing an experienced, trustworthy pet/home sitter.”
“Kate was very flexible and accommodating with our dog who was on crate rest and needed some extra attention and help. She had excellent communication and left our home in great order. We will definitely use her again to watch our pets!”
“Lucinda is just amazing.!! Thoughtful, gentle, and conscientious of my specific needs for MY high maintenance needs for my dog that I asked of her. Her communication throughout the time she stayed was impeccable. She took lots of pictures. I almost didn’t make it home her last day bcuz of flight issues and she was immediately willing to watch another day on the spot. What more could one ask for. She left my home exactly as I would. She’s also just a caring and lovely person too!!”
“My experience with June was amazing. So professional and so caring for my cat. She was always giving me updates on how my cat was doing asking questions about her care. I would 100% hire her every time she is available.”
“Enya was an amazing sitter! She communicated constantly, providing photos and updates. The home was clean when we returned, and the girls were happy. We will definitely reach out to Enya for future needs!”
“Dustin was great with our cats while we were away. We were gone for 11 days and nervous about leaving our cats. Dustin proved to be a very reliable pet and house sitter. We had a handful of items pop up while we were away. Dustin was quick to communicate and act on some special requests for us. He was responsive to our messages, sent photos everyday, and cared for our boys beyond our expectations for a house sitter. We’ll definitely be using Dustin again in the future!”
“Alex took care of our house and our doodle for a straight month. It was obvious that he took great care of our pup and that our pup had bonded with him. He sent us daily pics and questions if there was any doubt about a situation or task. The house was left nice and tidy and he performed the inside plant and outside yard maintenance we requested. We would use him again in a heartbeat.”
“Haley was absolutely wonderful! 😁 She communicated with me throughout the stay, sent photos, gave thoughtful updates, and made sure both of our dogs were happy and well cared for! We came home to two happy pups and a spotless house! I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter; highly recommend Haley and will definitely be booking with her again!”

I adopted my 2 rescues 8 months ago and have not left them for more than 4 hours. They are anxious, reactive, and require a lot of activity and care. Because of a business trip, I needed in home care for them. Bill stepped in and calmly did the job. He sent many pictures of them playing. My dogs were calm and happy, and were sad to see him leave. This gives me great peace of mind knowing we will have someone we trust providing our sweet pups great care.
Sterling did an excellent job during her 8 day stay taking care of our two dogs and our home. One dog is a Senior who requires daily medication and the other pup is young and energetic! Sterling was very responsive, communicative, and sent daily pictures letting us know how things were going. The house was in great shape when we returned, we would highly recommend Sterling for your pet-sitting needs.
At this point, I'm pretty sure my cat likes Xanthia better than he likes me! She was so sweet and playful with him. On top of being great with the cat, she communicates well, is hyper responsible and took great care of our house. So grateful to have found her.
Jennifer was wonderful with Poppy and a very courteous and conscientious house guest. She kept me posted on how Poppy was doing throughout the week, including pics. Clearly, Poppy didn’t even miss us! Jennifer is one of her favorite people and we couldn’t be happier with the care and attention she gave our girl while we were away. Thank you!
Amanda took very good care of our 1 yr old American Staffordshire pit bull mix and our 13 yr old Staffordshire bull terrier. She did an excellent job with them. Her first stay was for 6 days We are happy to have her stay in our home again on our next vacation! We do recommend her highly!
Emily was great! So communicative with updates - she did a great job sending photos and videos of their time together. Our dog was naughty and got into some flour in the pantry and Emily got it all cleaned up and handled the small issue with ease. Would definitely recommend her and would hire her again if her schedule allows. Thanks for everything, Emily!
I had an emergency hospitalization and I was so thankful that Sal was readily available to come to my home and take care of my two Yorkies! She has a good heart and took great care of my two babies- which put my mind at ease while I was trying to get through my surgical procedure and heal! I would highly recommend her!
I needed a pet sitter on short notice after my regular sitter had to cancel. I was hesitant to use Rover, as I have always had friends or relatives pet sit. I reached out to Kayla after reviewing her profile and positive reviews, and she was very responsive. The meet and greet went very well, and I felt very comfortable leaving my dog and cat in Kayla’s hands while I was on vacation. Kayla was absolutely wonderful!! She stayed at my house to ensure there was no change in routine for my dog and cat. She provided updates with photos, and I was able to enjoy my vacation without having to worry about my dog and cat. My house was spotless when I returned, and I could tell that my dog and cat were well cared for when I was gone. I highly recommend Kayla!!!
We booked Chloe to watch our dog and three guinea pigs for two weeks while we were overseas. She was responsive, communicative, trustworthy, and flexible. We left a set of instructions on how to take care of our creatures--she followed all of them. She took outstanding care of our animals and the house, and we returned home to a clean house and happy menagerie. I would recommend Chloe for anyone looking for a housesitter.
