House Sitting Southwest

“We couldn’t be happier with the care Mattea provided for our dog, Siena. From the very beginning, Mattea was attentive, communicative, and genuinely caring—it gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Siena can be a bit particular, but she immediately felt comfortable, which says so much about Mattea’s calm and kind approach. We loved receiving updates and photos that showed just how happy and well cared for Siena was. It was clear she wasn’t just being looked after—she was being truly cared for and loved. When we returned, Siena was relaxed, happy, and clearly had a wonderful time. We’re so grateful to have found someone as reliable and thoughtful as Mattea. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care!”

“Oakley seemed to be well taken care of, the house was looking good, and had easy communication throughout our vacation away from home!”

“Joan took such good care of our greyhound and German shepherd! She shared multiple photos of both dogs each day, was very responsive, and stayed overnight with the dogs after a storm knocked the power out for 48+ hrs. She took great care of the house and even saved some of our frozen food by storing it in her freezer during the power outage. We have already booked Joan again next month - we and the dogs look forward to it! Thank you!”

“Kira was the best sitter! If I wasn’t moving I’d have her back every time I travel. Actually can she just move with me? Lol! My Lu is always anxious when I’m away - it’s just a fact of life, but she was so calm and happy when I got home after this trip.”

“I’m so grateful for the amazing care Garrett provided for my cat, Adele. He was attentive, responsible, and kept me updated, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Adel was clearly very well taken care of and comfortable, and I could tell she received a lot of attention and care. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”

“I always feel like my dogs are in good hands with Emma. She takes such good care of them. She’s cared for our dog with stomach issues and is very patient and communicative with us when she’s experiencing issues”

Katie J.

“Jessica was great! She is a great communicator. She always let us know when she was going to arrive to take care of cat. She also let us know when our cat wasn’t eating. She was super caring!”

“Franklin was amazing, my older dog is a "little" shy to say the least and Mr. Franklin was absolutely positively wonderful with him, got him to come out to play, to eat as well as just getting him out of his kennel. As normally he would just be sad and hide the entire time we are gone. Definitely will hope he is available for the next sitting position. Thank you Franklin!! 😇💙🙏🐶🎉🤝”

“Alex was great! We received tons of pictures and videos of Roxy while we were gone which was comforting as this was our first time using Rover. The house was the same as when we left it when we arrived home. Alex even went above and beyond by washing the sheets and towels she used while she was here before we returned home. There isn’t enough to say about how great this experience was! Thank you Alex! Roxy cannot wait to see you again soon :)”

Kristyn A.

“Kristena was excellent! We left her with 2 cats, an older dog and a puppy. She sent us detailed updates every day with pictures and even did some training with our puppy while we were away. She also took great care of our home and left it in spotless condition, cleaning up after herself and the animals. We would love to have her back any time!”

“Eliza is the epitome of the perfect sitter - both professional and loving - prompt and responsive and also the "sit on the floor with the dogs" type. We are happy we trusted her with our boys!”

“Sophina stayed with my 3 dogs and everything went well. She also left the house very clean and orderly. If you like daily updates and getting photo verification, I would make sure she understands that. She was very responses when I reached out, though. I would not hesitate to use her again.”

Nancy L.

“Loren took amazing care of my two cats while I was away. She followed their care instructions thoroughly and she truly allowed me to enjoy my vacation without worrying if the cats were well taken care of. I really appreciated her communication and truly loved all of the picture updates she sent me each day. Loren was overall wonderful and I would 100% request her help in the future.”

“Jylesha is Fantastic with my animals! She loves them, walks my dog, keeps my place so nice and is very responsive communicating and sending pics and vids. My animals love her! Ty Jylesha! ❤️”

Susan R.

“Isabelle was AMAZING with my animals which was proven through many photos of my animals always by her side and following her around (even my cat who is scared of people)! I would highly recommend her.”

Alexandra F.

“Harmony was an absolute lifesaver! She stepped in at the last minute after our original sitter canceled unexpectedly. From the start, she was sweet, attentive, and communicative. She took wonderful care of both our apartment and our pets, and we came home to happy animals and a spotless space. We did have a small misunderstanding—which was totally my fault 🤦🏽‍♀️—but Harmony handled it with grace and professionalism. I truly hope she’s open to sitting for us again in the future. Highly recommend her!”

“Cora did an excellent job with my first baby Tiller, while we were in the hospital for an extended stay to have my actual first baby. Regular updates and enjoyed her time watching tiller live her best life”

“Jalanie was great for my house sitting request. I had a different Rover fall through literally a day before I was suppose to leave and she was able to do a meet and greet and then did a great job doing the house sitting. Will 100% be my first call next time I need a pet sitter.”
