“Christian was great to work with. I was using an in-home sitter for the first time for a two week trip. They spent extra time getting my nervous dog comfortable after a rocky first night! Lots of updates each day, brought in mail, took out trash, in addition to walking, feeding and hanging out with my dog. Would definitely recommend them for future needs!”

“David did a wonderful job keeping our very high-maintenance Olde English Bulldogs! He was easy to communicate with, and, he was kind, gentle and attentive to details. He stayed at our home and everything was perfect upon our return!”
11. Livia M.
“We were able to enjoy a long weekend away without worrying about our dogs. They were both happy and comfortable thanks to Livia! Livia stopped by upon booking to touch base and meet the dogs which helped us know that our dogs were going to be well taken care of, and they were! Both dogs are on meds and Livia quickly responded when we asked that one med be adjusted. One of our dogs is very full of herself when it is time for a walk and Livia did a great job dealing with our dog's exuberance and was able to get her harness on and get her out the door (miraculous). We 100% recommend Livia!”

17. Emma R.
“Where to start with Emma! Emma watched our dog Sadie in our home for a little over two weeks while we were traveling internationally. She took the time to really get to know Sadie and make her feel comfortable while we were away. She took Sadie on a number of walks every day and took excellent care of our home while we were away. Sadie really took to her and they went on some awesome hikes together. She also kept us updated on how Sadie was doing while we were gone. We will definitely use Emma anytime she is available in the future to watch Sadie. 10/10 pet sitter!”
18. Caroline D.
“Caroline has taken care of my cat with much patience and enthusiasm. She pays attention to and appreciates his special snowflake quirks. Caroline is a great communicator, letting me know how my cat is doing when I’m not there. She is trustworthy and has the key to my house.”
19. Caitlynn M.
“Caitlynn was phenomenal. I’d never hired someone off Rover and was apprehensive but she blew me away. She sent pictures, ensured the dog got exercise, and was all around awesome. If I need to hire someone again, it would be Caitlynn! I know my pets are in good hands.”
20. Estefani M.
