Rosemary did SUCH a good job with house- & dog-sitting my pup in my apartment. Her attention to detail with the care instructions I gave, and how well she accommodated lots of instructions for a higher-maintenance dog, gave me so much peace of mind as I was out of town. I'll be booking her again when I'm traveling next! Thank you!!

Kelley has done a fabulous job with my dogs over the past few years! I have had several older, quirky senior rescue dogs and they loved her! She was reliable and went above and beyond taking care of them each time she came! 10/10 recommend!

We're so grateful Elizabeth was able to house sit and watch all our animals! Our dog is a grumpy old man who can be frustrating, and Elizabeth handled him with ease. Our super shy cat even made friends with her, which is a rare occurrence. We got plenty of pictures and updates while we were gone. She stopped by after we were home, and our dog ran out to greet her, so clearly she is amazing!

We had Andrew pet sit for our 2 year old dog for several nights at our house. He went above and beyond. Communication while we were away was fabulous. The kids loved the videos and photos. Jeri got some leash training and was walked several times a day. We had a great vacation knowing that Andrew was taking such good care of Jeri. Would strongly recommend him for your pet care.

Christina was awesome! She took great care of our dog and cat - sent some cute pictures and even gave our dog some meds when she noticed his allergies were acting up. She is prompt, responsive, and our animals loved her. Would definitely recommend her and will definitely be using her again. Thanks again, Christina!!

I was very comfortable leaving my very anxious beagle Ladybug with Egon! This was our first time using Rover for housesitting and I was a little unsure about how it would work. However it could not have been easier, I felt certain ladybug was in good hands. When we got back from our night away my pup could not have been more calm or normal - always the best sign that all went well!

Emmalee was great! Our dog is very skittish and has separation anxiety, and Emmalee went out of her way to make sure she felt safe and to coax her to eat. She also took good care of her when Freya got scared in the thunderstorm. Highly recommend Emmalee!! She also took good care of the house and even stripped the bedding and loaded the washer before we got back!

Kyle was great! He stayed in my apartment with Morty while I was in Texas. When I returned Morty was healthy and happy and my apartment was just as I left it. Kyle was quick to respond to messages and provided updates on how Morty was doing.

Dillon is great! She’s taken our energetic German Shepard, cattle dog mix 2 year old pup on countless walks. Our pup can sometimes be a tad reactive around strangers and she handles it like a pro. On top of that, it’s clear that our pup absolutely adores her. Dillon plays so well with our dog inside with tug of war etc and outside with fetch. It’s honestly really cute seeing them play. Dillon has also stayed with our dog for a week while we were out of town, totally taking care of the dog and sleeping over. I am 100% always confident the pup is well taken care of anytime she’s with Dillon. Dillon clearly loves dogs and is also super responsible. I can’t recommend her enough!

Emily was amazing. I'm impressed. She was wonderful with my dogs, and went above and beyond to keep my puppy on track with his training, to keep my home tidy, and to stay in touch. She's friendly, patient, accommodating, knowledgeable, responsible, and overall a great gal! I would hire her again in a heartbeat.

Rebecca was so amazing!! I needed a sitter at the last minute, her calendar was up to date, and she was able to stay with my fur babies. I'm always hesitant to confirm booking with someone until I meet them in person, but Rebecca eased my nerves and made me feel comfortable! She has a great bubbly personality and took amazing care of my dogs. Sent me pictures and updates throughout the time she was there, and I never once worried about them. I will definitely be hiring her again!
