1. Chloe F.
“Chloe was outstanding! She watched our very high energy Corgi pup for a few days while we were out of town. Her communication was frequent, detailed and timely which put us at ease. When we returned our pup was in great spirits and behaved like we had never left. This is the most important thing to me! We would highly recommend Chloe and look forward to working with her again soon.”
2. Isabella H.
“Isabella was wonderful! She was great with Beaux and with the total mess my house is. I'm just moving in, boxes everywhere, no 8dea where anything is and she just rolled with it. I've already booked her for the next sit.”
3. Lucinda Z.
“FANTASTIC 🎉 Lucinda provided such amazing care for my 2 puppers. Lucinda stay at my home for a week and cared for my puppers. I felt so comfortable and was able to enjoy my vacation. She communicated daily with updates and photos. I felt such ease knowing that my babies were getting their medicine and all the cuddles while I was away. As an added bonus she left my home cleaner than it was when I left for vacation.🤩”
4. Anthea F.
“An incredibly thoughtful, kind, thorough, and all-around fantastic dog-sitter. We hired Anthea to care for our two pups (one a young very timid yet somehow still energetic yorkie mix rescue pup, the other a geriatric parsons Russell terrier who is dealing with some doggie dementia), and she was incredible. Met both dogs where they were were at and went above and beyond in the care for the pups and the care for our home. Gave our pups lots of attention, exercise, and love; gave us detailed updates and lots of photos on how the pups were doing; and we retuned to a home in better condition than it was when we left for the weekend! The Mary Poppins of dog-sitters!”
5. Sam D.
“Sam was fantastic! He house sat for us for 8 nights and took care of 4 cats and 1 large dog. We got enough updates, photos and video to reassure us that the animals were all enjoying Sam's company and being well cared for. House was left tidy. Definitely would hire him again and highly recommend him. Thank you, Sam!!”
6. emily f.
“Emily was outstanding!! She followed my instructions to a t and sent updates everyday, typically multiple times a day. My house was left in amazing condition. I would have her watch the girls again for sure!!”
7. Alexander G.
“Alexander did an amazing job dog sitting our fur crew. The pups had a blast playing and walking. I always know they are in good hands with Alexander!”
8. Amanda H.
“Amanda and her daughter Savannah were absolutely wonderful. Both went above and beyond. We would be more than happy to have them help us out again!”
9. Lauren R.
“Lauren is the absolute best! She powered through an ice storm and water outage in our apartment without batting an eye while we were gone. She made us feel at ease and, most of all, became one of our dog's new favorite people. I could not recommend her enough!”
10. Rachel S.
“Rachel did an awesome job caring for our dogs while we were away. She made sure to give extra care and attention to help with their separation anxiety, keeping them on their same routine. Her communication gave us peace of mind and she was very respectful of our home. Highly recommend her for house sitting!”
11. David J.
“As always, David took excellent care of our pup and our house. Jack is a young GSD and likes activities and adventures which he had plenty off. I have to say that the first few days after we got back, it seemed like Jack was missing David ;).”
12. Anna R.
“Anna was great and very patient with my dogs! Both older and one shy, other medication. She was very communicative and helpful while I was gone. Would definitely hire again.”
13. Stefanee C.
“Stefanee is not only professional, but during this stay she went the extra mile. I had multiple flight delays and the AC went out at my house. Stefanee took extra steps to keep my dogs comfortable and happy. Amazing work.”
14. Shabnam B.
“Shabnam and Matt were wonderful!!! My dog needs medicine at odd hours, and they were able to help take care of her while I was out of town. My dog was very well cared for, as was my home where they stayed while I was away! Shab kept in touch with me regularly over text and also sent photos. She asked questions when needed and was a pleasure to work with (Matt was a pleasure, too!). I would highly recommend them for pet-sitting :)”
15. Brian W.
“Brian was amazing! Professional, courteous, friendly, excellent with our pups, and sent us picture updates throughout his time with our pups.”
16. Lillian H.
“Lillian stayed at our house for six nights with our senior pup who needs extra care and attention. Prior to her stay we had meet and greets and were immediately comfortable with her. Walter (our pup) loved her from the start. While we were away she provided lovely daily updates and photos. We arrived home to a happy pup and very clean house. Lillian is kind, communicative and sweet. We highly recommend her!”
17. Paul O.
“Paul did a great job with our two pups. He is very relaxed and the dogs picked up on his demeanor. Paul was able to walk both of them which was most helpful. I recommend him without any reservations!”
18. Medulla M.
“Medulla was an awesome dog sitter on very short notice! I had an unexpected need for a dog sitter when going out of town and a few days before I discovered that my lab needed to start a medication regimen. They were great, very low key vibe but also took great care of my dog in my home. Thanks Medulla!”
19. Benji G.
“I've had some excellent Rover sitters before, but Benji is in a whole other league! They are so loving and communicative and thoughtful, and really well-attuned to the needs of animals and human companions alike. I highly recommend Benji for anxious and/or neurodivergent pet-lovers in particular--they totally, totally get it! My partner and I think of our kitties as our babies, and travel induces a lot of anxiety for us because we hate the idea of leaving the cats alone. Benji was the perfect antidote to our anxiety; they have a wonderful and reassuring presence, asked all the right questions during our meet-and-greet, and overcommunicated before and throughout our trip to reassure us they were present and reliable (but were also quick to tell us they could scale back on communication if we preferred). We also received lots of fun pics throughout Benji's stay and had the pleasure of viewing our kitties and home through another person's (very generous) eyes! When my partner and I returned home, the house was in better condition than we left it, and Benji even left some fun treasures and personal touches for us to enjoy. Most importantly, our kitties were happy, healthy, and in good spirits. They usually hide for a couple days after a big change, but this time they were back to their old cuddly, demanding routines within 30 seconds. I highly, highly recommend Benji. They are a special person with a big heart, and we feel grateful that we've found such a safe, comfortable companion for the kitties--and made a new human friend in the process. Thank you, Benji!”
20. Alicia P.
“Alicia treated my dogs as if they were her own! I had such a great sitting experience. Great communication, she handled my dog with trigger issues super well, and kept me updated. I always get anxiety about my pups but didn’t feel that at all with this sit, I even extended my stay! I will 100% be booking with Alicia again as long as she’s sitting!!!!”
