“Maia was kind enough to come to a meet and greet visit days before the sitting job. I enjoyed our time chatting and getting to know a bit about her. I felt really good about leaving Sully with her. During the actual sitting job, she had planned many activities to help keep my high energy puppy busy. We know that they went for walks, played ball and much more as he was tired out! And that was a good thing! Looking forward to a repeat visit. Thanks Maia for taking such good care of Sully.”
“Jackie was amazing with our 2 dogs. She went above and beyond as we had a flight cancelled and she returned for us. Wouldn’t hesitate to book her!”
“Ryan is an amazing dog sitter. He watched our Mabel during the Nov snow storm when we got 6ft of snow. He came a day early to our house so he could be in place before the storm hit. He was super commutative....sent pictures and updates and promptly responded when we contacted him. He also took great care of our house. He is an excellent dog/house sitter and we will definitely be using him again.”
“Another great booking! It is so nice to enjoy sometime away and know our senior pugs are being well taken care of. Haley leaves our home spotless and is so patient with our pups.”
“Awesome sitter, felt we could absolutely trust her with both our dog and my parent’s dog. Loved the bonus update pictures!”
“This was my first time using Rover and I was nervous about having a stranger watch my dog because she has a lot of anxiety. Carolyn did a meet and greet earlier in the week to make sure it was a good fit. She arrived on time and took good care of my dog, sending lots of picks of her playing. I will definitely use her again in the future.”
“Nicole was an amazing dog sitter! She worked from home so she could stay with my anxious pup. Communication was excellent - timely responses and I got pictures every day. She even left a little postcard of pictures she took of my dog for me when I get home! So cute! I felt comfortable with her at my house, which she left as tidy as she found it. Anyone would be lucky to have her watch their pets.”
“Amy was great and I highly recommend! She cared for my dog & cat overnight & sent picture updates throughout the day. Even my neighbors complemented seeing her walk my Nala and how good she was taking care of her. I will definitely hire her again. Thank you Amy!”
“So very happy to have Haley stay with my girls! I got many updates and photos that made me feel comfortable and happy being away. She was always on time and very friendly with them :) I would definitely recommend having Haley watch your babies!”

“Maria is an excellent pet-sitter! She’s responsive and made it easy to plan, left our house in perfect shape, and took perfect care of our 2 dogs and 3 cats! She even befriended our sassy cat! I hesitate to recommend her because we’d like to keep her for ourselves!”
“Nicholas was great with our house full of animals. They're a high energy and can be a lot to handle but he was a natural with them all. We came home from our trip to find happy, cared for, and relaxed animals. One of our cats who is notoriously shy and cautious of new people took to him immediately!”
“Perfect! Caroline was prompt, conscientious, responsive,,and thoroughly responsible, and clearly took good care of Barnaby while I was away. Thank you, Caroline!”

“I can’t say enough about how wonderful Beste was with my little dog Harry. He is elderly, blind and hard of hearing. He doesn’t like many people but he loved Beste. He is on medications and is a finicky eater. He took his meds from Beste and he ate well. He is sometimes incontinent but during her 3 day stay he only had one accident. She sent me many pics and videos and I was able to enjoy my long weekend away without having to worry about Harry. I highly recommend Beste, she is the best.”
“My two dogs are everything to me. They are my babies and I usually have a family member take care of them. There was an emergency that I had to get someone else asap. I’m so happy I trusted Nafisa, my boys loved her. She was in communication with me while I was traveling and it made me feel less worried. She’s amazing!!”
“Kayla was awesome! She took great care of our dog and cat, as well as our house, while we were away. She even got our cat to come out on the first day, something he rarely does, but he liked her. She checked in with pictures and gave us great piece of mind while we were away. I look forward to her caring for them again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“We entrusted our beloved furry friend to Rave’s care for six nights while we were away on our summer vacation—and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. Rave was incredibly easy to communicate with and kept us updated every day with thoughtful messages and adorable photos of our pup. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our buddy was not only well looked after but genuinely happy and comfortable. We truly appreciate the care and attention Rave provided and wouldn’t hesitate to book again!”
“Ray did an amazing job with my two older frenchies - they were incredibly well cared for while I was away. This was my first time using Ray and Rover, and I will absolutely use Ray again. Perfect care for the dogs and very trustworthy at your home.”

10 days trusting our beloved pups and home to Marideth and we are 100% confident that they were in the best care possible!!
Nafisa is great with my pooch! He’s a big dog with a lot of energy and a little reactivity. She fully understood his needs, made sure he got in plenty of activity, and gave him lots of love.
Nicole was an amazing dog sitter! She worked from home so she could stay with my anxious pup. Communication was excellent - timely responses and I got pictures every day. She even left a little postcard of pictures she took of my dog for me when I get home! So cute! I felt comfortable with her at my house, which she left as tidy as she found it.

Ciara was amazing as always! She stayed over with our GSD for the weekend and she gave us constant updates and pictures throughout the entire stay! I would trust her with my babies any day!
Haley was wonderful! She was a respectful house guest. She gave us updates and sent photos of our dogs through out her stay. She was very thorough in her questions getting to know our dogs and their routine. She was overall great to work with. We will definitely be using her in the future!
Elisabeth took great care of our pups over the weekend! Consistent with photos and updates. Will definitely rebook! Our dogs loved her

Carolyn was so kind to our old fella and our very nervous younger fella- she is an incredibly sweet soul! She was communicative and reliable, put us right at ease.
Jackie was wonderful with Luna ( my willful Pom) and Mei ( cat). Jackie accommodated neighbors and friends coming by to water outside and bringing their dogs for a visit . Would certainly recommend!
Natalie did a great job. I appreciate her help and she is always sending pictures and updates . Thank you Natalie
Ann made herself to care for Enzo on very short notice. Even so, she stopped by to meet him ahead of time. She kept in regular communication with us. Despite being stung by a bee on the paw (which Ann made us aware of immediately), Enzo was in excellent spirits when we arrived home. He obviously was well loved in our absence.
Gabby was the best house sitter for my two dogs when I was away for work. She provides consistent and clear communication and cared for both of my dogs and my home like they were her own. I highly recommend her!
Judith can be counted on to never cancel, be awesome, and deal with “unexpected issues” that pop up with doggos.
Jessica was absolutely wonderful. She house sat for me and my two pups and cat. They loved her, she took great care of my place, and she sent me photo updates while I was gone. We can’t wait to book her again next time! Thanks, Jessica!
Jaddua is an absolutely outstanding pet sitter. We always have great peace of mind when we know Ace is with Jaddua. Would highly recommend him to care for your beloved pets!
She was wonderful!.Maddie took great care of our fur babies while.we were out of town! Highly recommend her and will hire her again!
I can’t say enough about how wonderful Beste was with my little dog Harry. He is elderly, blind and hard of hearing. He doesn’t like many people but he loved Beste. He is on medications and is a finicky eater. He took his meds from Beste and he ate well. He is sometimes incontinent but during her 3 day stay he only had one accident. She sent me many pics and videos and I was able to enjoy my long weekend away without having to worry about Harry. I highly recommend Beste, she is the best.
Completely exceeded our family's expectations! Sam was the epitome of professional and went above and beyond her role as a dog sitter. She handled our pet Rosie with love and exceptional care for 18 days, and left our home in great shape with tidy/ clean conditions. I would definitely use Sam again and we highly recommend her for your pet needs. Thanks Sam!
Katie did a lengthy meet and greet with Brody and us then spent a week at our home with him. We received daily updates and pics allowing us to truly relax while we were away. He was in great hands with her! We appreciate that she took great care of him and our home (dishes, mail, etc). We highly recommend her and she will be the first person we reach out to stay with him again!!
