We’ve been using Hannah for a few months now and she’s the best! Super reliable, communicative, and always attentive to Azul’s routine. He has separation anxiety so there’s a few extra steps involved in his care, and she’s always so thoughtful about handling everything. It’s such a relief having someone dependable we can trust with him :)

Korrey had excellent communication during my entire trip, was thoughtful and kind and conscientious. Being able to keep my pup in her own environment was a joy for her and me! And Korrey spoiled my Eva like she was his own - hang time, walks, and countless trips to the dog park (her favorite place on the planet! ) and sent pics of all their adventures. Korrey went above and beyond in every aspect and I look forward to reaching out to him the next time we're in need of a sitter!! Seriously cannot recommend him enough.

About: I’ve taken care of and been surrounded my dogs all my life. Friends and family have relied on me to care for their pet and ensure I stick to their feed/walk routine I’m currently working a hybrid schedule so I have flexibility for sitting and dog walking. I’m also available on weekends and would be happy to dog sit at your home. Happy to follow your pup’s schedule for feeding and walking times! Also would love to offer a no pressure meet and greet. Will request emergency contact information as well

There’s nothing better than coming home to your dog after a long trip especially when he’s calm and relaxed because he was well taken care of. Juan allowed me this joy. It was the first time I’ve used him and Romeo took to him right away. Juan updated me daily and was responsive to messages. He also left my house in great condition. Thank you for taking care of my baby. We’ll be seeing you again!!

About: I love to care for all animals. I think they’re the most innocent and precious things we’ve got in this world and we should never take them for granted. I love them soo much and on top of making their day better by caring for them And playing with them, they make my day better as well when i need to put a smile on my face. I would love to take care of anyone’s pet if they need me to without question, I’ve had pets around me for as long as I can remember and I don’t remember one bad memory with any of them, this would be something I genuinely enjoy doing and would be more than happy to do, thank you! :)

Amy is a gem! We did not plan on having a small kitten along with our two adult cats when we planned a trip, and realized a house sitter was needed to continue monitoring and acclimating our cat fam. Amy responded to all communication promptly, sent pics and updates throughout, and left our house immaculate. We came home to cats who were relaxed and happy. Highly recommend Amy's services, she is a trustworthy professional.

Cristopher took care of my puppy Sagan while I went on a day trip. He was absolutely fantastic: right on time for meet and greet and the day of, super attentive to Sagan’s care instructions, warm and approachable and sent so many updates of his day with Sagan, including a two hour walk that left Sagan fulfilled and happy for the rest of the day. Will definitely be reaching out again when Sagan needs more care, and the best sitter I’ve booked on Rover so far!

Hana was a fantastic sitter. Our kitties are a bit high maintenance (we have a senior cat that requires meds, and our senior cat and younger cat don’t get along and need to be kept separate) and Hana closely followed my instructions on how to care for them. I really appreciated her updates and would be happy to have her again :)

Lauren was an absolutely terrific Dog Sitter!! She was genuinely excited to be with our 3 fur babies, treated them as if they were her own, asked lots of questions and followed our directions to the letter. One of our pups had a medical emergency and Lauren could not have been more attentive and caring and compassionate. She went out of her way to take our pup to the vet, made sure he had all of his medications, and then ultimately taking him to the vet emergency hospital, all the while, caring for our other two pups as well. She went above and beyond and we are eternally grateful. She’s the best!

Lakshmi was wonderful with Rafa over the 4th of July weekend! We met before the stay, and Rafa was so excited to meet her. Like many dogs, when we left for our trip, he was a little cautious at first when we weren’t home, but it didn’t take long for Lakshmi to earn his trust. They quickly became buddies. Communication was excellent from the moment she got to our home. We received an update and photo right away, followed by plenty of pictures throughout the stay of Rafa walking, playing, relaxing, and just being his goofy self. She even renamed our group chat with my husband in the cutest way, which was such a thoughtful touch. Our home was also well cared for. Everything was neat when we returned, the trash was taken out, we were told exactly where the keys were left, and we received one last photo and update before departure. As a vet tech, Lakshmi is knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely caring. We felt completely at ease knowing Rafa was in good hands and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, communicative, and compassionate sitter.

Prior to her stay, she asked lots of pertinent questions which made communication with her super easy! While we were away, she sent a daily update with photos. She even left our place extremely tidy!! We will hire her again and again!

I am tempted to skip a review because I want to keep Summar all to ourselves! She is absolutely wonderful. Despite my being an anxious person, I never feel any worry leaving my beloved Comet with Summar. He is thrilled to hang out with her and seems equally happy with her or with us! Summar takes perfect care of our house, including emptying dehumidifiers, taking in/out the garbage cans, coordinating a visit from a contractor and cleaning service, watering plants, etc, etc. She cares for Comet like he is her own pup. I feel so lucky to have Summar as our pet sitter... and hope my gushing reviews don't let the secret of her amazingness spread too wide!
