“This is the second time Nyasia has sat for my dogs and she’s just amazing. Good communication, leaves the house spotless, and takes great care of the fur babies.”
2. Tiffany M.
“We were in a tough spot. Our regular sitters were unavailable Tiffany did amazing taking care of our wild child, Millie. From our first meeting, we were completely comfortable with Tiffany and her ability to take care of Millie and our home. Home was just as we left it and Millie was safe and sound and happy. We received a bunch of pictures and nothing but positive communication from Tiffany. I would highly recommend her and we will be using her in the future.”
3. Amanda K.
“Amanda is the best dog sitter I have ever had! She was so attentive to all of my dog's needs and respectful of his quirks and daily schedule. She kept me fully updated every day I was gone and sent lots of cute pictures and videos - I felt like I didn't have to worry about a thing because I knew my fur baby was in loving and capable hands. I recommend Amanda 100%!!!”

7. Loralys M.
“Loralys is seriously the best in-home sitter I've had on Rover, and I've had some great sitters. The difference is the amount of obvious love she showed to my dog, Pippin, which I think speaks to her love of animals, period. She texted frequently, sent pictures and videos, and in general made us feel very comfortable about leaving our fairly new rescue pup with someone else. In the videos she is talking to our Pip in a soft, reassuring voice, and Pippin was clearly relaxed and happy. She got to know Pippin at a time when I was also still getting to know her, which actually helped me, too. She goes out of her way to bring her own food, towels, etc. which with us, is unnecessary because we consider an in-home sitter to be a guest, entitled to use our things and make herself comfortable (especially if they are taking good care of our dog, who is an entitled member of the family). For others who aren't so inclined, they may appreciate that she does this.”
8. Natasha B.
“Thank you for being so responsive and communicative! Natasha went beyond my expectations while she stayed home with my two senior doggies. Will definitely book again”
9. Christina G.
“Christina did a great job house sitting for us!! She took the time to ask and understand what our dog needed and what his daily routine was like. She is detailed in her updates throughout the stay and we were able to relax and enjoy our trip comfortable that she had everything under control. Highly recommend Christina for your pet sitting needs😃”
10. Jolene P.
“Jolene took great care of our pets and kept us informed about their health and well-being. We were grateful to have her come meet the pets beforehand. She’s kind and has an obvious love for animals. We look forward to hiring her again this Summer”
11. Shannon B.
“Shannon was super communicative throughout the entire dog sitting process- sending updates, pictures. She took great care of my 10 yr old mini poodle. Would recommend!”
12. Meg M.
“Meg was great with my dog Piper! She had good communication so I was able to have a stress free vacation! I will definitely be using her again!”
13. Barbara D.
“Barbara was really caring and attentive to our puppy! She made sure to understand our puppy’s needs before meeting her and went above and beyond to make sure that we felt comfortable with our puppy in her care!”
14. Stephanie H.
“Stephanie is simply amazing. She has watched our 4 dogs and a cat. We came home to very happy, healthy animals. She slept with them, played with them, and did everything we asked her to do. She continually updated us with pictures which made us feel so much better, knowing they were having a great time. If you want the perfect dog sitter Stephanie is the one for you. I will definitely be using her again.”
15. Sara F.
“Sara is AMAZING! She stayed with our Goldendoodle while we were away for the weekends, and we didn't worry at all because Sara was very communicative. Sara pays attention to the details and is not afraid to ask follow-up questions. She kept us updated about our dog, sent cute photos, and gave him plenty of cuddles. We're so grateful for Sara and hope to work with her again!”
16. Ashleigh L.
“Ashleigh did a great job with watching my senior doggie. She picked up after herself and did more than asked for in regards to taking my dog on walks during her weekend stay with him. Definitely would use her as a sitter again!”
17. paula j.
“Paula was wonderful for our dog and ducks for an entire week. She is so responsive, responsible and sweet. She sent so many pictures and always answered promptly. Paula is kind, friendly and super responsible. Thank you, Paula!”
18. Kenedy P.
“This past summer, our cat Augie had a medical emergency while under Kenedy's care (to no fault of theirs). Kenedy acted swiftly and thoughtfully in responding to Augie's needs. They were communicative and professional from start to finish. My partner and I are incredibly grateful for Kenedy being there and catching this issue before it progressed. Augie made a quick recovery and it was all due to Kenedy's quick response. I highly recommend Kenedy for all pet-sitting jobs.”
19. Leanna M.
“Leanna has always been great with animals. She’s always taken the best care of her dogs and loves every dog she sees. She’s the best for dog sitting.”
20. Kylee M.
“Kaylee’s partner Katie came and sat with my 12-week-old puppy, Kahlua, for several hours. She was so fantastic! Really sweet and friendly, and my pup loved her immediately. She was gentle and playful with lil Lua, and helped Lua get out all her puppy energy; when Katie left puppy was happy and wiped. This made it way easier to get her down for crate training. Katie was even flexible on arrival and departure times, within her abilities. Would book with her again in an instant (actually asked to book her the next day)”
