“When we travel, we always call Sarah H. She does a wonderful job caring for our family pet. She provides wonderful warmth and comfort to our little boy who looks forward to his playtime which lowers his stress while we are gone. Sarah makes me feel at ease knowing someone was there to give him love and attention. Thank you, Sarah H.”
“Kaylee is outstanding! I took a leap hiring her as I had not used her before, and I think she may be newer to Rover. But, she is definitely not new to caring for animals or housesitting. She sent lots of pictures, gave me a lot of updates, and I could tell the animals were very comfortable with her and got a lot of love and attention. My house was also very tidy when I came home and little things done I didn’t ask for. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible pet sitter. I will definitely be using her again. Thank you, Kaylee, for being such a loving pet sitter. You had my mind at ease our entire trip.”
“Natalie was great with our pets! She gave us daily check ins and if she had any concerns, she contacted us right away. Thank you for taking such great care of our pets!”
“It’s been a long time since my girlfriend and I have been able to go on vacation due to difficulty trusting anyone with our three dogs - then we met Torri. From the get go, Torri was responsive, professional, and accommodating. He immediately scheduled a meet and greet and took the time to get to know us and our dogs. Torri house sits with his own dog Riley, which helped diffuse our sudden departure and gave my dogs their own buddy to focus on, instead of us being away. Riley is very well behaved and trained, and together they brought a great energy to our home and all of our dogs immediately took a liking to him, something unexpected since a few of them are selective. During our time away, Torri communicated frequently and sent updates. It truly made it easy to unplug. We are so grateful to have found him and are looking forward to planing our next trip.”
“Robert was very kind to fill in last minute. He Managed our elderly dog in home, with all her quirks & meds like a true professional. He was very sweet to Lil Bit, our barky MinPin. I would refer his services any time.”
“Overall amazing person! She kept us updated with our dogs all the time. Sent us pictures of them, brought them treats and she was always on time every day for our dogs. She even cleaned our floors and took out trash out for us haha I highly recommend her and I will be using her again in the near future 🙏🏽”
“Lauren is incredible! She took great care of my baby. This is my very first time having someone taking care of Bruno at home. She made me feel very comfortable and relaxed. She did an amazing job and I will definitely use her again to care for him.”
“I was so nervous leaving my pups for the first time but Jannete put me right at ease when she came. She took care of my babies as if they were her own. I'll definitely be asking her to sit for us again.”
“Red has a warm, relaxed vibe and both my dog and cat were immediately comfortable with him. During a 3 night, 3 day weekend trip, he took great care of both my babies and my home. He adheres to clear direction, and even found new ways to entertain my often high energy pooch. I plan to utilize his service again. Thanks Red!”
“Sam was absolutely amazing!!! Not only did we provide great updates but she was constantly loving on and playing with our boy. We truly appreciate the care she gave him and our home!!”
“WE LOVE ANDREA! She was absolutely wonderful & all our pets were so, so happy! She sent pictures through out our trips of them all & gave us constant updates, making us feel really comfortable while we were away & missing them. She was always on top of playing with our Australian Shepherd who requires a lot of action, play time, & attention. & when she left/ we arrived our house was so clean, even the sheets where she slept & her towels were all washed by her- she did that on her own & it was so incredibly sweet! She’s amazing as a pet sitter & as a person; love her energy & how well she takes instructions & how she dealt with us being needy cause we missed our pets like crazy, lol. Book her!”
“Paola was fantastic in taking care of my German Shepherd while I was gone on business for a week. She kept him well fed, and exercised with daily walks and play time. He liked her company so much that he was looking for her even after I was back!”
“Rhiannon was so great with my two senior dogs! I have a 17-year-old who’s on a few medicines and a strict schedule and she was great at keeping up with everything! Even when he tries his hardest not to take his medicine. She is so good with my pups and even cleaned up after herself before she left. Will definitely hire again!”
“Alaina was beyond great to Luna! She sent me constant updates and pictures to let me know Luna was doing well and was a happy girl! Alaina came through on short notice and was even willing to help when we dealt with flight issues. I would 100% have her watch Luna again and Luna agrees!”
“Very responsible and diligent dog sitter. I can tell Allison cares deeply about animals and 100% will do whatever is necessary to make sure they're getting the attention they need. I was stress free on my vacation knowing they were in good hands! Thank you so much, I'll definitely be requesting again in the future!”

Christian was great with keeping us updated with photos and info a be out our girl while we were gone, that helped me a LOT- we rarely have the whole family gone and need someone, but I'd 100% be comfortable next time (which is likely to happen a couple times a year!
Torri is amazing, beyond words amazing. Our dog, Lady, just fell in love with him. She was so loved and taken care of while we were gone. We had complete peace! He sent tons of photos and updates, so we knew all was well. He was so respectful of our home and even cleaned before we came home. We love him!!!! We will definitely have him stay with our Lady in the future!
Could not have asked for a better person to become part of the Poole family while she was here. My dogs and home were taken care of just as they were her own. I left happy dogs and came home to happy dogs. Updates were amazing. Thank you so much for taking the time to love and care for family. Will definitely be a repeat customer. 💜🐶
Colleen is a natural with dogs. Our doodle, Khyah, is extremely attached to me and yet she made friends very quickly with Colleen. I was shocked and so happy! I feel so comfortable with Colleen caring for Khyah and being fairly new to the area, it feels so good to have found our dog sitting person!
I have just returned from Asia after Numa and his lovely family sat my two boys and stayed at my house for 10 days. Having never used a sitter before, I must say i was really reluctant to do so. Numa agreed to look after my bulldogs whilst I was in Japan and Hong Kong. The weekend prior to leaving, I sent Numa an email detailing everything about my gated community, house and, of course, the boys. Numa and Madeleine arrived on the day I was leaving with an extensive check list they had put together, to ensure everyone was comfortable and happy. It made me feel really content - i could instantly see how detailed, caring and thorough they were. In addition, when we did the initial meet and greet one of my boys Archie (who is a typical English bulldog and can be a bit rambunctious when first meeting someone) jumped up and scratched Numa. After we agreed to Numa sitting the boys, he even offered to pick them up prior to my going away and take them to get their nails trimmed - what a lovely gesture (I of course took care of this, but it showed the detail and care he and Madeleine went to prior and during staying at my house). They provided me with daily updates, photos and videos. In every one of them i could tell how happy my boys were - frankly having been back only a few hours I think the boys are rather disappointed it was me coming through the door! This morning I found one of the dogs lying in the room they slept in! I reckon that's their own 5 star rating! Numa and Madeleine are people of the highest integrity, and I could tell how important it was for them that I was comfortable. I can honestly say whilst i was away i had absolutely zero concerns as i knew my boys were being loved and cared for, probably better than I do! It made my important trip all the much easier. I wanted to leave this review as, if like me you needed assistance to look after your dogs but were worried, YOU SHOULD PICK NUMA AND HIS WIFE EVERY TIME! MY only hesitation in leaving this review is that more people want to work with Numa and Madeleine and it might mean they cant take care of Archie and Gus when i next travel :-) Oh and one other thing, when i arrived last night, my house was as clean and tidy as its ever been and Madeleine communicated all the logistics of her departure. I simply couldn't be happier that I met them and would work with them without hesitation! They are welcome at my place any time.
We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! Ann took such amazing care of our pets and our home while we were away. She followed all of my instructions that I typed up perfectly and made us feel completely at ease! She checked in every day with updates and sent the sweetest photos, which made being away so much easier. It was clear our pets were happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time! I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and attentive sitter! Thank you Ann!
Rachel was awesome watching our French Bulldog while we were visiting Vegas. We appreciated that she was punctual, but also flexible when we needed her to stay longer. She's great at communicating and sending lots of pictures. She's also mindful and attentive to every little detail.
