“This was our first time hiring a Rover sitter and Julie was a 6 STAR! At the "meet and greet" beforehand, she was able to have our skittish dog eating snacks from her hand! And like a previous reviewer stated, Julie spoiled our dog more than we do. She went above and beyond to make sure our dog was well cared for so that we felt comfortable and confident being out of town. We've already booked her again!”

“Jena is the best. She sat with my fur babies for a couple of days and they loved her. Maddie doesn't warm up to ppl but she did with her. She will be my go to whenever I go out of town.”


“Ross has been absolutely incredible every time he’s cared for our dogs. He goes above and beyond—not only making sure they’re fed and have fresh water, but also taking care of administering medications without any issues. It’s such a relief knowing they’re in safe, capable hands. What really stands out is how much he genuinely cares. He spends quality time with them and treats them like his own, which means everything to us. Our dogs are always happy and comfortable when he’s around. We truly wouldn’t trust anyone else. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for reliable, compassionate pet care.”

“Kaitlyn is a great sitter. She took such good care of our babies. We have a senior dog with health issues, and Kaitlyn was very patient and caring. We will definitely be hiring her in the future.”

“What can I say about Preston. She’s a bright, charismatic young lady who my pups Stella & Duke had the pleasure of being cared for by Ms. Preston for the last 11 days while I was on the other side of the country. Preston was kind to my dogs and they both loved having a new face to get a vacation away from their dad. Preston was in contact with me at all times, she took frequent photos of my dogs daily. She was very neat and cleaned up after herself through the last 11 days when she would drop by to care for my pups. I would highly recommend Preston to care for your animals and will certainly use her services again in the future!”

“Mary was absolutely WONDERFUL cannot recommend her enough!! Left our house beautifully clean and the animals absolutely loved her! She even brought them some parting toys on her way out, so nice! Tons of updates and pictures, felt extremely safe with her on our home 🩷 even our super shy kitty loved her!!”
“Owen was fantastic! He communicated well and took such great care of our sweet pup. He also took immaculate care of the house. We already have him booked for another trip. We are grateful to have found him - our pup loves him!”

“Allison was amazing. She made homemade dog safe bubbles, brought tennis balls and played lots of fetch with my babies. Lucy,Bruno and scruffers had an amazing week. When I got home they were exhausted and didn’t want Allison to leave. She is the best sitter I have had and I highly recommend her.”
