1. Makayla R.
“Makayla is the best! Fast responses. Great updates and communication. Our pup felt super loved by their care. Thank you for adjusting for us :)”
2. Matt B.
“Matt went far above and beyond expectations. He house sat my 6-month-old puppy and 2 cats for 6 days, and they really tested him. The puppy chewed up a mattress pad and peed in my bed, and he washed and cleaned up EVERYTHING. Both the puppy and the cats loved him. He was gentle with both of them and gave lots of pets to everyone (cute pics of happy animals). I will definitely book him again; highly recommend to anyone!”
3. Crystal G.
“Crystal is amazing! She house/dog sat for us from Fri-Sun after just meeting everyone briefly the week before. She kept great communication with pictures and conversations. Highly recommend!”
4. Christian G.
“Christian was so great. She was flexible with her meet and greet times and when she showed up to meet Chester, she was friendly as can be and Chester was immediately comfortable with her (which is somewhat rare because he’s a pretty nervous boy). She stayed at our house for the weekend while we traveled and I couldn’t even tell we had a guest when we got back home because she was clean, tidy, and respectful of our space. The best part of her services, though, was how communicative she was - my husband and I were extremely busy on our trip and it was so comforting that each time I had a few minutes to check my phone, I had lots of pictures and messages that our Chester was doing well. We will be using Christian again for our house/dog sitting needs! Would definitely recommend her!”
5. Dillon S.
“Dillon is awesome! He was our house/dog sitter for six days while we were out of state. it was so nice to come home to a happy dog and a clean house! Dillon went above and beyond caring for our home and our Zeva. if I could give him 10 stars I would! I highly recommend Dillon to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter!”
6. Shana S.
“Shana is a fantastic, pleasant, professional, thoughtful person who gave our pets the love & attention they needed while mom & dad were out of town! She kept in touch & gave us updates. She even sent pictures. We are so happy with the way she cared for our home as well!”
7. Laura S.
“Laura was absolutely wonderful. She met us posted with photos.of our pups every day. I felt totally comfortable trusting our home and pets to her care. We will.use her again and again ”
8. Dessirae B.
“Excellent service, needed someone last minute due to family emergency and she had no issues accommodating. Regular updates about pets, and even greeted our dog for the first time ever meeting without us there. 100% recommend to everyone else in need of pet sitting/house sitting. Just like the rest of us, kids and a hubby, just trying to get by. If you scroll past Dessirae you're missing out, will definitely be using her services in the future!”
9. Nancy B.
“My 3 can be an handful and I had never used rover before. Nancy was patient, kind and professional. I was sent multiple pictures and updates throughout the stay which gave me the peace of mind that my babies were happy and being well cared for. I cannot thank you enough!”
10. Rose M.
“Rose was great with our pups! She sent pictures regularly & stayed in great communication when needed.”
11. Dillon H.
“First time letting someone watch my dogs in my own place, and it was a positive experience. Dillon followed directions well, everything seems to be as they were, and my dogs also seem normal. I appreciated the fact he messaged me a couple days before the booking to let me know he was looking forward to meeting us. One of my dogs will bark and growl at new people, and Dillon showed no fear, allowing my dog to warm up sooner than later. I was updated with a photo the next day, reassuring me everything was ok, and was able to enjoy my vacation. Dillon was communicative, friendly, respectful, and neat. Thanks again!”
12. Kiersten F.
“Kiersten did much more than the minimum required of her to make sure our dog felt comfortable and had a friend.”
13. Ashley T.
“Ashley stayed with our pack of floofs for two weeks while my husband and I were out of the country. She treated our pets like her own and took wonderful care of our home. We received regular updates and photos and felt very at ease knowing all was taken care of. Highly recommend contacted Ashley, whether for check-ins on your animals, or full on house and pet sitting needs.”
14. Veronica D.
“Veronica is my daughter and we have had dogs since she was born. She lives dogs and has always cared for them with the most patience and loving care. She enjoys spending time with our digs and takes care of grooming, cleaning, and entertaining them whenever possible.”
15. Johana M.
“Fantastic temperament! My female poodle was not used to a housesitter and decided to spend the first day and a half barking and Johana handled it well. Would HIGHLY recommend her!”
16. Saniyah J.
About: I may not have fur babies of my own yet. But, I’m absolutely in love with animals and although I chose the human route of healthcare, they deserve the same amount of love. I currently work at a hospital while going to school full time. The schedule changes from three days out of the week I am swept away. Pet-sitting magic: Stick to routines, pamper your furry friend, play detective for safety, share pet pics, be a superhero in emergencies, keep the home pet-tastic, become their BFF, and check for smiles at the end! 🐾😄
17. Shandese M.
About: Three years ago, I began caring for Boerboel puppies and discovered my passion for pet care, creating joyful experiences that enrich both my life and theirs. With my current availability, I can seamlessly integrate pet care into my daily routine, ensuring your pet receives the attention and companionship they deserve daily. In my clients' homes, I prioritize giving pets ample attention, engaging them in play, providing companionship, maintaining their routines, and ensuring they feel safe and loved in their familiar environment.
18. Christina N.
“We couldn't be happier with Chrissy as our dog sitter! She truly loves our pets as if they were her own, and we always feel at ease knowing they are in her care. Chrissy goes above and beyond, keeping us updated with photos and little notes about their day. Our dog absolutely adores her, and we trust her completely. If you're looking for someone reliable, caring, and dedicated, Chrissy is the one!”
19. Juana S.
“Juana is the best! She took care of our babies while we were out of the country for almost two weeks, kept in contact with me, and sent pics and videos of the animals, which made me feel so much better seeing them happy and healthy while we were gone. She is very responsible and my animals love her! I highly recommend Juana!!”
20. Emma B.
“Emma has always taken special care of my dogs. I trust her wholeheartedly with my dogs. She always sends me photos whenever I may request them and will ask me questions if anything is ever unknown to make sure my dogs get the best care. I will always trust Emma with my dogs and will keep using her in the future.”
