1. Lusianna M.

“Finn was well cared for and very happy to have spent the day with Lucy. We will be scheduling more time with Lucy and would confidently recommend her to others.”


2. Hector L.

“Immediately after meeting Hector, we knew he'd be a great fit. Both dogs loved him, even the one who can be a bit particular and moody. He gave regular updates with great pics, was happy to reinforce training and commands we use, and it was everything we could have asked for. As a bonus he has a ton of experience with dogs as he runs a local dog kennel! Highly recommend and will be booking Hector in the future.”


3. Miranda L.

“Had a great experience with Miranda! She was responsive, asked pointed queries, and was very pleasant generally. She made sure to arrive early as I warned her it was a little tricky to find my building, which was greatly appreciated. Wiyon had a lovely time and I will definitely be reaching out again 😊 Thank you!”


4. Jillian H.

“Jill is amazing! We are so lucky to have found her. We just moved to the area and didn’t have coverage for our week-long vacation. She was professional, super communicative, and kindly pretended not to notice how neurotic I am about my aging shih tzu. She is the reason we were able to enjoy our vacation, and I am grateful beyond words. We will definitely be calling Jill again. And again.”


5. Norah P.

“Norah was absolutely amazing with our 2 Belgian Malinois. She played with them, shared updates throughout the day, and loved on them so hard. You can tell how much she cares for them and their safety. We booked her last minute as well which was super nice to find someone so caring. She was also flexible as my schedule changed last minute and I needed her to feed our girls which we weren’t expecting her to have to do since I was supposed to be home be their dinner time. I can’t wait for her to spend more time with our girls!”




6. Joshua N.


“Joshua did a great job watching our pets in our home over two short weekends away. They seemed happy and healthy when we returned. Joshua communicated with us before, during, and after his time with our pets. He even emptied the litter box when we didn’t ask!”


7. Madison S.
“Madison took great care of my dogs! She was always sending me photos of them and updating me throughout the day. She took them on walks. We came back to happy, happy dogs!”


8. Joanna R.

“Joanna and her daughter watched my dogs at my house for a few days while I was on vacation. They both took excellent care of my dogs. I received frequent pictures and updates from Joanna while I was away and my dogs were happy and healthy when I got home. My house was also well taken care of and spotless when I got home. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing her to watch their dogs.”


9. Brittany B.

“Brittany is wonderful! She is trustworthy, reliable, and responsive which is what I find vitally important in a pet sitter. She was patience with our cat who is very shy and made effort to ensure I was comfortable as well knowing my kitties were well taken care of (knowing I am extremely cautious of who takes care of our pets and how). She brought in packages delivered over the course of her stay, kept everything tidy and neat, and the house was exactly as it was when we left. I highly recommend Brittany as a sitter and will definitely be booking her for our next trip!”


10. Eleni F.
“Eleni was raised in a pack and knows what love is for all fur babies. Having seen her with her own dog and my very own, she's attentive. Trust in her to meet your needs in handling your loved one. She will treat as her very own.”


11. Palma T.

“Palma was a pleasure to work with. She responds quickly to inquiries and is very prompt. She has a kind and sunny disposition and clearly loves animals. I felt so confident leaving our dog and home in her care. She sent us pics and updates which helped with our missing our pet. Everything in our home, and with our dog, was cared for with attention and detail. I would definitely use her again, and again!”


12. Allore P.

“Allore is fantastic! She has house sat for me twice now and she is great. She’s communicative, good with all my animals, flexible, and reliable.”


13. Jayda C.

“Jayda has been an absolute star. She is punctual, kind and very good with dogs. My dog loved having her around. She left the house very clean. Can only recommend and will definitely book her again.”


14. Matthew M.
About: I have over 5 years of experience caring for my three dogs—Mya (14-year-old Shih Tzu), Maizie (6-year-old Australian Shepherd), and Zhu (13-year-old Black Lab). I’ve grown up with Maizie since she was a pup and have been with Mya and Zhu for five years, handling their care when my family is away. My deep bond with these dogs allows me to understand their unique needs and personalities. I specialize in attentive care for puppies and senior dogs and pride myself on making sure each pet feels comfortable, loved, and safe. As I work toward my CPA certification and prepare to start my accounting job in the summer, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate time to pet care. I’m used to balancing multiple responsibilities, and I enjoy taking care of my own pets, so offering pet care services fits naturally into my routine. Whether it’s walking dogs or caring for cats, I make sure to give each pet the attention they need while managing my study and job preparation time efficiently. When caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, safety and comfort are my top priorities. At my home, I ensure a pet-friendly, secure environment, with plenty of space for pets to relax and explore. I make sure all areas are free of hazards, and I provide fresh water and safe spaces for rest. Whether it’s during walks or while watching pets at their home, I closely supervise them, ensuring they are always safe and comfortable. I also prioritize communication with clients to ensure they trust me with their pets' well-being, offering regular updates and being responsive to any specific needs or concerns.


15. Alixeanaly R.
“i trust alix with my cats’ lives!!! she’s so good with them and i see how much they love her. i get tons of photos everytime she’s with them :). she even made them a little pet report card when taking care of them for the first time, which i thought was the sweetest thing ever. her passion for taking care of animals is apparent in her work. alix has done tons of drop ins at my apartment. she always made sure the water was always full and litter box was clean. i traveled for 2.5 weeks and i was in awe at how amazing she was. my cats’s food ran out while i was traveling and i freaked out but she picked up my package and did everything for me. once, the electricity in my building went out and she even went back in AGAIN to make sure their automatic feeder and water fountain were back on. it’s not easy trusting strangers to come into your home, but im so glad i found alix. i genuinely recommend her, she’s amazing.”


16. Sophia A.

“After never using Rover for our dog Danny, we were looking for someone who worked from remotely as our little pup has anxiety and separation issues. Hence, we hired the perfect team of Sophia and Lily to stay at our house for a week. They sent daily pictures and notifications as to how Danny was fairing under there watch. They both balanced their work schedules with Danny coverage so he was hardly alone. I think he had probably more company with Sophia and Lily than we often are able to provide. They truly deserve a five star rating. Our house was also left in perfect condition.”


17. Jill R.


“Jill is absolutely incredible. She took great care of our pups and she sent us photo updates every day and was incredibly communicative. I cannot say enough good things about her. We are incredible grateful to have her watch our dogs.”




18. Ali N.


“Ali takes such good care of my cats and pup while I’m away for work and I couldn’t be more grateful. I know that I am leaving them in trusted hands when I leave. Thank you as always!”


19. Fontaine R.

“Fontaine was incredibly punctual and professional. He was amazing with communication and gave us updates on our cat every day. 10/10 would recommend for all your pet sitting needs!”


20. Jenna J.

“Jenna did a great job for my dog Abby. Jenna was professional, followed directions, and kept me updated while I was away. I would recommend Jenna for any of your clients and I will try to schedule her again in the future.”
