If you're like us, we look for care providers with multiple reviews so we have a better idea of who we're hiring. But everyone needs to start somewhere, and this time we decided to give someone a chance who hadn't received reviews yet; boy did we luck out. Jaina did a fantastic job looking after our 80 pound loverboy, Luca. She stayed in our home while we were away five days, and both he--and our home--were well taken care of. He even got a daily walk (in winter, no less!). Jaina is who you want in a sitter: responsive, reliable and kind. She provided daily updates and photos of our dog, too. We would hire her again, and suggest you do too before people catch on and her rates go up.

Ebony was so kind and helpful throughout my dog baby's visit. She sent me tons of photos and updates while she had my baby. Baby(my dog) was well taken care of threwout her stay with Ebony. I'm so grateful for her, as she took my booking last minute since I had an unexpected family emergency come up. I will definitely use Ebony again in the future seeing as how amazingly she took care of what I consider a family member to me.

Sandy was wonderful to work with. She came over ahead of time to go through instructions, which I really appreciated. While we were away, she sent updates and photos that gave me total peace of mind. She truly went above and beyond in caring for our dogs, and when we got home they were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. Our home was also left clean and exactly as we left it. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Sandy again and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable dog sitter.

Dalvane was an incredible dog sitter. He watched our two dogs and a cat for 8 days. One of dogs can be particularly hard to deal with and by the end of the week Dalvane was his best friend. The house was left clean and everyone was happy. Dalvane was very communicative and willing to go the extra mile to make the dogs happy. I highly recommend Dalvane's services.

Devaney was amazing with our high energy/high anxiety pitty mix. We were so nervous to leave because last time when we didn’t have a sitter (just intermittent walker/feeder) she tore up the place with anxiety. Devaney sent me frequent updates and pictures all weekend and we even came home to a very clean apartment. She gave my cat lots of loving as well! 10/10 recommend and will be booking with her again!

This was my first time using Rover for our new adoptee Ernie who's been having some separation anxiety. We were in town for a wedding and needed someone to sit with him while we were away and Erin was great! He's initially lightly territorial when new people arrive at his "home" but warmed right up to Erin. She was wonderful with him and a really nice person and would definitely recommend her.
