“Maddie was great, she took good care of our girl and sent plenty of photos . Even helped shovel our sidewalk so the kids could get to the bus stop”
3. Skylynn V.
“We had Sky stay at our house for a week while we were out of the country, when we got home both of our dogs were happy and healthy. Our house was in great condition, we got regular updates on our dogs. This was our first time using Rover to have someone housesit for us so I was a bit nervous leaving our apartment and two of the things I love most in this world with someone I had only met for a brief while. Sky did a great job and really set me at ease. 100% would recommend.”
4. Kathryn R.
“Kathryn was amazing!! She is so warm and friendly and kept us updated with photos and updates. The cats and our dog loved her and the house looked amazing when we got home. Highly recommended!!!”
5. Carly M.
“Excellent job and I would most definitely use Carly again. She cared for my nine-year-old labrador retriever, and I returned home to a very happy puppy. PS she doesn’t like spiders!”
6. Brittany D.
“Brittany is fantastic! I am so at ease when we travel knowing she's caring for our two dogs. She walks them and makes sure they go out regularly, keeps their water bowls stocked, and gives them all the cuddles they demand. Looking forward to our next trip knowing Brittany can be with them :)”
7. Sadie R.
“Sadie is super responsive and friendly, sent plenty of pics of our pup while sitting and took great care of her while we were away. Highly recommended!”
8. Hope R.
“I work as an assistant manager at a dog walking company in Boston, working with Hope for a few years. She was so genuine and sincerely cared about the dogs experience, not just getting another paycheck. Each dog was well cared for and she developed strong ties with each of them. Not to mention how enjoyable her conversation was in the office! She is truly a creative, beautiful ray of sunshine and we miss her so much at our company! Good independent contractors are hard to find, but we would have her back in a second.”
9. Brea A.
“Brea was an excellent sitter. I have four pets with unique personalities and needs. She was attentive, thoughtful, and provided excellent care. I would absolutely not hesitate to book Brea again. I came home to happy pets, and a tidy house. Thank you, Brea!”
10. Hector L.
“Hector was absolutely fantastic with our cats and they liked him a lot. He was also very professional and friendly with us, sending us daily updates and pictures. We loved having him and already have him booked to watch our cats for our next trip.”
11. Whitnee M.
“Whitnee was great and my dogs loved her!”
12. Gina L.
“Gina was very kind and watched our 2 mini aussies and house sat while we were on vacation. She left the house clean and exactly how we left it. Was a very respectful house guest. We will definitely book her again.”
13. Debra C.
“Debra was outstanding! She spent a week watching our dog and we couldn’t be happier. She was in regular communication sharing pictures and updates.”
14. Hailey P.
“We were so fortunate to have Hailey care for our very busy and loving one year-old golden lab. We were out for a full day and we had no concerns at all about the care for Gracie or our home. Hailey is one of the most reliable, trustworthy, and easy-going sitters we’ve had. She followed our guidelines, gave medication and left the house spotless. We will be reaching out to Hailey again!”
15. Melissa O.
“Melissa has been our dog sitter for years. We have 3 large dogs and she does an AMAZING job taking care of them. Very responsive and reliable and our 3 dogs love their Aunt Melissa. I would recommend Melissa for any pet care needs.”
16. Lacy B.
“Lacy was responsive to all of our questions and messages. We felt our pets and house were in good hands while we were away and we booked other stays already.”
17. Hailey Z.
“Hailey was great! The pets loved her and she was super responsive”
18. Emily M.
“Emily stepped in last minute to house sit and watch our dog. She was so lovely and sent updates and photos every day to let us know how he was doing. I would definitely use her again!”
19. Michael D.
“I volunteered with Michael at a no kill shelter for over a year. We have had to deal with some very volatile hard to manage type dogs. He has had his own loving dog for almost ten years and has a lot of experience with high energy dogs.He has taken care of my dog over the years when I have had to travel, and he would be my first pick for a dog sitter. I think Michael would be perfect for this line of work, not only because of his experience, but also because he understands that dogs are an extension of family. He's responsible for himself and his own but he'll be responsible for your beloved pet as well.”
20. Nikki B.
“Nikki was a great dog sitter. She gave pup updates and sent pictures and gave my dogs the attention they needed. She was respectful of our house and left it as she found it. I would definitely have Nikki come back to care for my dogs again.”
