“Excellent sitter. She was so professional and caring. She walked him she played with him. I got pictures everyday. Bruno got along with her baby. They became good buddies. I can tell Bruno miss Snoop her pet. When I have to go away again I definitely want Myrna to be the sitter. You will feel good about leaving your pet with her”
“Julie is a perfect pet sitter. She shared questions to help me explain all about my little dolly. She shared daily reports and pictures while my dolly was there. When I met her and Eric at our home visit, I felt immediately comfortable and knew she would do a terrific job taking care of my baby and she did. I'm looking forward to setting up another stay when I go away this spring.”
“Laura took great care of my boys. She sent pictures everyday and kept me posted on how they were doing. She genuinely cared for our boys like they were her boys. I will definitely book with Laura again.”
“We are newer to the area and this was our first time needing a dog sitter. Lauren was very responsive and wonderful. She also sends lots of great photos and takes lots of walks. Hopefully she will be available again if and when we need a dog sitter.”
“I am thrilled to give Jeff a 5-star review for taking care of my furry baby, Happy! Jeff went above and beyond to ensure Happy's happiness and well-being. He sent regular updates, which put my mind at ease, and showed genuine care and compassion for my pet. I'm so grateful to have found Jeff and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and reliable pet sitter. Thank you, Jeff, for giving Happy the love and attention he deserves!”
“Raye was an incredible sitter for our pup. Pictures/ videos were sent multiple times a day so we were constantly informed on our pup - plus our pup was clearly having a blast so we felt confident that she was well cared for. I would recommend Raye in a heartbeat and would definitely rebook.”
“Alexandra boarded our 14 year old super senior pug and she did really well. She used to go to a large boarding facility and when she came home she was very out of sorts and unsettled. Diamond came right back home and settled right back in so it seems that she was happy while we were gone. Alexandra was super responsive and sent daily updates. Overall it was a great experience for us and apparently for her as well :)”
“Tiffany is amazing! This was the first time I boarded my Simba. I was so nervous. However, Simba was very well taken care of. Tiffany kept me updated with texts and pictures. She was professional and caring toward not only Simba but me as well. Simba truly enjoyed his stay. I don’t think he wanted to come home! I will definitely use Tiffany’s services again. If you want a reliable, patient, caring, and professional person to care for your pet, Tiffany is your person!!!”
“Dina thoroughly enjoyed her time with Hilary! So much so that she made herself right at home almost immediately. Hilary was very accommodating to my travel itinerary and kept me posted on how Dina was doing during her entire stay. Dina definitely wants me to check Hilary's availability first before I go on my next trip.”
“Paula is my go-to sitter for Jackson. She takes great care of him and sometimes has playmates for him, which he loves. She's a dedicated walker too which Jackson and I both love.”
“I boarded my toy poodle Phoebe for the first time using Rover.com. She is 18 years old, deaf and nearly blind. During our meet and greet with Andrew, I could see that he genuinely cares about pets based upon the look on his face when he saw her and held her during the meet and greet. He described where he planned to keep her and I relaxed. During her 4 day stay, I received pictures and updates, and Andrew answered my questions promptly. Phoebe and I were fortunate to find Andrew. I will definitely call upon Andrew again, and highly recommend him to others.”
“Kevin was incredible!! He did such a great job of watching my pup and provided regular updates the entire time. You can tell how much he loves dogs. My anxious dog felt right at home!”
