“Morgan and Jahcarre have watched our 2 dogs several times over the past couple years in our home and we always return to the house looking exactly as we left it and our dogs seem well cared for. One of our dogs can be a lot to handle, and the two of them together can be a real handful, and we know that, and appreciate them sitting for our hounds multiple times! The dogs are thrilled when they walk through the door, so the hounds also give 5 stars lol. Will definitely continue to book with them when we need to be out of town.”
“I am new to the area and am so relieved to have met Brianna! She was great with my dog and cat while I was away for 5 days. I left detailed instructions and she followed them and communicated well. I’m thankful to have met someone I can trust with my babies! Will be booking with her again.”
“I cannot say enough good things about Maria. I have never had a bad experience with any of the walkers, sitters, etc. with Rover but Maria is in a class all her own. She watched my boy, Toby for a week and he was so loved and cared for. She sent pictures of their extended walks, and many of her just loving on him. She took him to her house and introduced him to her cats and it was amazing. I know he was so happy and therefore I never had to worry once about him. I highly recommend her as I will be using her again and again. She is a treasure!!!”
“Lexi was a wonderful sitter for us when we needed to be out of town! We returned to a happy pup and a clean home - what a joy! We will definitely be turning to Lexi in the future when we need someone to watch our sweet dog again.”
“Jayla was patient and loving to our dog who for the first day and a half was acting very weird and hiding out in one of the bedrooms. Jayla was very communicative and her concern showed through her texts. Turns out it was the fire alarm beeping because the batteries were dying. Our dog was very happy once the batteries were removed!! Jayla stayed overnight and maintained a spotless house for when we returned. She was respectful and loving toward our pet.”
“Emily has been so helpful every time. I’ve had to reach out last minute, and she’s always so attentive. She communicated with us during our vacation, sent us photos and helped with some things around the house.”
“Jamie stayed with our boy for a week. We haven’t been away from him in two years He sent multiple pictures each day. We came home to find Mika relaxed and not stressed of going to a boarding facility. Jamie also brought in our garbage cans and mail to give our house a lived in feel when away. Highly recommend and will use him again!”

“Cobie is a dream sitter! She came over for several meet & greets so our shy, nervous dog could warm up to her. As I knew would happen, they became fast friends and Alice had a wonderful week with Cobie. Communication was great and we felt very secure leaving our pup and home in Cobie’s care. Will definitely rebook!”
“Wonderful experience! This was the first time our dog was left with someone other than a family member & it worked out perfectly. Our dog was happy & well taken care of. Would not hesitate to use again!”
“Alise is fantastic! She was able to settle 2 anxious rescues quickly with her calm demeanor even as a new member to the pack. She was very attentive and caring and gave plenty of updates on the well-being of our dogs in the midst of an unexpected medical issue. Thanks, Alise! Janet and Benny are eagerly awaiting their next sleep over.”
“Riley did a fantastic job while we were away for 7 days. He did not leave Milo alone other than to run an errand or get something to eat. It was our first time leaving Milo and I was very hesitant but Riley was very responsive to all my inquiries and sent me pictures and texts about he was as doing. I would definitely recommend him and will refer him to all my friends. Thank you so much Riley for a job well done.”
“Linda went above and beyond house sitting for our cat while we were out of town! She was very responsive, sent pictures, and left our house sparkling clean! It was so nice to not have to stress out about our cat or our house while we were gone. Thank you Linda—we look forward to having you house sit for us again!!”

“Aimee was absolutely amazing with our Pups Missy and Penny!! I cannot tell you how lucky we were to find her to watch our dogs for us while we went away. Our dogs were recently adopted from a rescue and Aimee went above and beyond to make sure they were comfortable and well taken care the entire time. She is absolutely wonderful dog sitter and a wonderful person as well. We loved her!”
