“Claudia was absolutely wonderful with my dogs!! She sent me pictures and videos everyday along with an update. I appreciate her attentiveness with my dogs and making them comfortable and happy while we were away. The house was nice and clean and the doggies were happy and well loved! Couldn't have asked for a better person to watch over our babies and house while we were away!!”

“I’ve had family members and friends watch Teeto before but no one takes care of him with the care and affection as Robin does ❤️ she is truly the best with our Teeto and I will 100% always recommend Robin!”
5. Paris B.
“Paris was fantastic. So sweet when she met our Gracie…who loved her. She was attentive and responsive when we messaged and took loving care of our baby. It eases the mind to know that your fur babies are being taken care of and loved. We will definitely have Paris watch Gracie next time we need a dog sitter. Also, she watched Gracie in our home and left it tidy and neat🩷”

“Jordan was amazing. She took great care of Tango and sent us updates and pictures throughout the weekend. She was very thorough and asked lots of questions when we met up before to make sure Tango would be well taken care of. We will absolutely be hiring Jordan again!”
7. Hanna W.
“Hanna has been incredible with watching all my cats; on time, reliable, trustworthy, and great with them! when i first adopted my cat i was worried senseless - he was sick and i didn’t know what to do. Hanna gave me incredible tips and tricks and we got him back to good health in no time. Hanna is an enthusiastic animal lover and takes the best care of all animals she comes in contact with.”

“Emily was great and took exceptional care of our dogs and elderly cat. The house was well cared for too and made it easy to come to after a long road trip”
10. Josh H.
“We can't say enough positive things about Josh. He took such excellent care of our senior dog during an impromptu weekend away. He was not only accommodating to our last minute request, he enthusiastically accepted. He is very kind, courteous, considerate, friendly. He went above and beyond for us. Our senior dog requires a lot of attention due to his medical issues and Josh was especially attentive to his needs. He sent regular updates of our dog. He also offered to check in our our dog after our agreed upon time period, in the event our trip was delayed for any reason. He was very respectful of our home, which we really appreciate because we had a bad experience with a rover house sitter previously who was not as respectful of our space and belongings. We would 100% recommend Josh to anyone and happily hire him again for his professionalism, care, and customer service. 10/10 one of the best Rover sitters in the area!”
11. KatyAnn F.
“KatyAnn is caring, responsible, and loves of all animals! She is confident and friendly with all pets, and has a good understanding of different dog behaviors. I trust her to take care of my dog while im away, he loves her!”
12. Katie B.
“My “children” are my furbabies and my home. I have and will continue to entrust Katie with both of my loves, We have four dogs, two cats, and a small fish tank. Our two senior dogs require daily medicine and the baby of the family requires regular eye drops due to being born with a detached retina. Katie has, at the longest stay, house/pet sat for us for a three week period. During that time away, everyone received their meds, the trash was put out on time, and our house was well maintained. Katie loves our animals, documented by the great photos she will send us of their snuggles and playtime. She knows we miss them when away, so it’s always great to see pictures of them happy and well loved. Katie goes above and beyond in watching over our home, like relaying information to us from the technician that had to be called out during a major storm to fix our furnace. Or noticing that a package, that I failed to give her a heads up on, required refrigeration so she immediately placed in the refrigerator. Thankfully her noticing the sticker on the package, as opposed to just placing on the desk with the other packages, saved my $400 medical prescription! I highly recommend Katie for any pet/house sitting job. She will love your furbabies and home as if it is her own. She will respect your privacy but also reach out when for the betterment of your home and/or animals. She is a genuinely caring and loving person. I am grateful for her becoming an extended version of my family!”
13. Logan M.
“Logan did a fantastic job housesitting for us!! We came home to happy pups, a well-kempt house, and still green house plants after 10 days away. I received regular updates and photos which was great especially since we were away for longer than usual. In the past we would board all three of our boys at a nice facility nearby but they were never relaxed when we came to pick them up. Our German Shepherd actually lost hair over it the last time, but definitely not the case with Logan staying with them! When we got home, he was just as happy as he would be if we were had never left! All 3 of our big boys have totally different personalities and Logan clicked with them seamlessly and kept them so happy. I would 12/10 recommend Logan anytime!!!”
14. Anita P.
“Anita has taken care of my pets and does a wonderful job, she is extremely compassionate when it comes to taking care of my pets. I would recommend her to anyone who needs this service”
15. Tina & Ayleah G.
“Tina did a great job watching out two dogs over the 4th of July. One of dogs isn’t great with fireworks, and Tina handled it like a champ and communicated well with us!”
16. Heidi E.
“Heidi was great! She bonded with my two dogs and cared for my home, two reef tanks, a freshwater aquarium, and our plants while we were on vacation for 16 days. She took action when our power went out during a windstorm and kept me informed of everything. She left our home in the same condition as when we left for our trip (which was clean and tidy)! I look forward to hiring Heidi again for any upcoming trips and I do not hesitate to recommend her. She did an outstanding job!”
17. Ashlie B.
“Ashlie was a great sitter for our three dogs! They were well taken care of and enjoyed her company. Ashlie sent us pics and videos! I recommend Ashlie for you and your pet family. Would love to book her again when the time comes.”
18. Holly S.
“Holly was wonderful. She kept us informed all during our trip, and we were able to enjoy our time away, knowing our dogs were well taken care of. Our house was left clean and our pets weee happy.”
19. Tricia H.
