1. Katie M.

“Katie stayed at our house with our anxious rescue Sadie while we were out of town for a weekend. Sadie takes a while to warm up to new people (she seriously hides under the bed for hours). She’s not the easiest dog, but Katie did a great job of comforting her and meeting her needs. She had great communication and provided numerous pictures/updates. She was easy to work with and I’d definitely book with her again!”


2. Jeanee S.

“Jeanee was the most incredible dog sitter we have ever had. Lilly got to go on many adventures and walks. Once Lilly got to know Jeanne, she asked if Lilly could with on errands, Lilly loves car rides. I suggested if she wanted to take her home to introduce Lilly to her furbaby - she could give it a shot. Keeping in mind that Lilly is food & person possessive and can be aggressive with older dogs, but Jeanee knew exactly how to handle her. It worked out so well that Lilly stayed at her home the remaining 6 days! Her dog really enjoyed having another dog around. She took Lilly's bed, food, treats and favorite stuffie to her house, so Lilly felt right at home. It really helped Lilly, she wasn't constantly watching for us, missing us and she ate so well. We had constant communication and updates. Anytime I sent a message she responded very quickly. This was the most confident and secure we have ever felt on our vacation. It made for a very relaxing and fun vacation. Knowing we now have an incredible sitter for Lilly, we are looking to book future vacations. 100% recommend!! Your furbaby will be in incredible hands!!”


3. Megan N.
“Megan walked and dog sat my very energetic Jack Russell and did a great job! She was always on time, was a great communicator, and my dog loved her. I would definitely recommend Megan!”


4. Tara R.

“Tara is the very best person to care for our much loved Ruger. She stays at our house with him and maintains his strict eating schedule which is essential due to his diabetes. She tests his blood sugar and injects his insulin on time to keep him regulated. I highly recommend her services.”


5. Joey C.


“Joey was fantastic. She took our dogs on multiple walks and played with them in the yard. Joey sent us multiple pictures throughout her time with the dogs and gave us updates regularly. We will definitely use her in the future.”


6. Jasmine T.

“Jasmine was amazing! She was extremely communicative and professional. I would absolutely book Jasmine again. She sent tons of photos and updates and my pets loved her!”


7. Sarah J.

“Sarah was the best with our dogs. She went above and beyond in making sure our dogs were comfortable and cared for. Our more nervous dog was relaxed enough to eat his all his food, and our puppy had no accidents — both of which are not common with us out of the house. On top of that she was very communicative the whole time! Truly so grateful to have found her and would be happy to have her care for our pups again.”


8. Sara V.
About: I've grown up with dogs my whole life! First a Bichon Frise, then a German Shorthaired Pointer puppy who was like my little brother. After he passed away, my parents adopted another German Shorthaired Pointer puppy who I helped care for/train at visits. I also grew up around friends/family cats and dogs whom ranged from small to medium of different breeds. My boyfriend and I have 3 cats, 2 of them I raised since they were kittens. I love fuzzy animals in general (4 legged)! I get off work at 16:00 (4:00pm) Monday through Friday. I am available to walk/check in on your pet(s) after 16:00 (4:00pm) on week days and anytime on the weekends. I am also available for weekend house sittings. As long as they let me, any fur baby I come across will be spoiled with love and cuddles. At home I brush my cats regularly along with cleaning their ears and eye boogies. I vacuum/fur remove the furniture, cat trees (3) and I carpet clean the litter matts. I am naturally an organizational clean freak with 4 1/2 years of hospital housekeeping experience.


9. Nicholas B.
“Nick has done an excellent job caring for our dog. He is very attentive to our dog and is reliable. Our dog loves when he’s taking care of him.”




10. David K.


“David was communicative, punctual and professional. Left the house in great shape and made sure to calm my pup who has separation anxiety. Would definitely recommend him to others!”


11. Jessica B.

“I could not ask for a better pet sitter. Jessica went above and beyond caring for my pets, loving them, and keeping me posted about her comings and goings. She will for sure be the person I go to first when I need a sitter!!!”


12. Faith B.

“Faith did a great job house/pet sitting our dogs. She was resourceful when technology was a barrier, was responsive with her communication in a timely and professional manner and overall responsible with our home and fur babies. Our fur babies warmed up to her quickly and we will definitely reach out to hire her again!”


13. Eliana S.

“Eli is the best. Such a responsible caregiver to our pets. When we return it’s like they received the same care they get when we are home. Communication is awesome including daily pictures of our pets — highly recommend!!”


14. Bianca R.

“Our dog was very well exercised and very well snuggled this weekend. Bianca sent us photos and updates throughout our time away. Our dog seemed to love his adventures with Bianca.”


15. CeCi S.

“If I could leave a 10 star review I would! Cici is just beginning her journey with Rover so don't let the few reviews sway you away. She is a solid dog momma and well experienced. I have an elderly gentleman and he suddenly required extra attention and Cici stepped right up. She is reliable and committed and communicates often. Highly recommend her”


16. Deklan O.

“We are so happy to have found Deklan. Our dogs are older and require extra TLC. Deklan was responsive and detail oriented. We received frequent updates and pictures which put our minds at ease while we were gone. We will definitely be using Deklan again in the future.”


17. Isabella A.

“Isabella, took great care of my family’s pets while we were out of town. She kept in touch throughout her stay, took our pups to the dog park, and when we returned we had very happy fur babies. Definitely recommend and will ask her to stay with our pets again!”




18. Kelsey H.

“Kelsey did a fantastic job with our dog and cat while we were away for thanksgiving! We got daily updates and pictures of both animals. 10/10 will book with her again!”


19. Vonnie T.

“We have two elderly dogs that need kindness and someone to lay around with them. Vonnie was perfect! She was able to be with them. We will definitely book with her again..”


20. Karlie K.

“Karlie stayed at our house while we were on vacation. Our dogs have a few quirks. They did great with Karlie. She communicated with us through the stay.”
