1. Elaine S.

“Elaine is SO WONDERFUL! I can’t recommend her enough. This was our first trip using Rover and we were very nervous about leaving our precious doggies under a stranger’s care, but when Elaine came for a meet & greet a few days before we left, it was clear she was no stranger… she was Auntie Elaine immediately! Roxy and Sadie were instant fans. Our chihuahua Maxine wasn’t as sure (chihuahuas, you know?), but after we left, Maxine decided she liked Auntie Elaine too. Elaine sent us photos and reports every day, which were a delight to read. We hadn’t ever been away from our babies for this long, so the updates were so helpful. Roxy, our senior dog, developed a balance issue (not anything related to Elaine, just senior dog stuff) and Elaine took her to our vet and got her checked out, updating us the whole time. (Roxy’s fine, just a little tilty) Definitely the right call to get her checked out! I can’t recommend Auntie Elaine highly enough. Three dogs and two humans agree! ?”


2. Jon H.

“We were worried about leaving seniors with someone new. Jon was fabulous and they must had a great time as no anxiety - for any of us! Thanks Jon.”


3. Desiree G.

“Desiree did an amazing job looking after our little guy. She met with us prior to watching him in our home and eased his nerves. We look forward to working with Desiree again.”


4. Aimee S.


“Aimee was absolutely amazing with our 2 pups. They have very different personalities and it was easy to tell both Moose and Rein loved the time they spent with Aimee. We had booked our trip last minute and had to change our times but Aimee was super flexible and extremely patient, making our lives so much easier. We're looking forward to having Aimee look after our pups again soon!”


5. Matthew B.

“Matthew was wonderful and took great care of our Momo. He even went out of his way and picked us up at the airport. Will definitely be using him again.”


6. Mona T.

“Mona is so attentive and caring. She makes an effort to get to know your dogs needs and routine. Received pictures and updates thought out the day.”


7. Ashurina P.

“Aushurina was wonderful, animals were happy and well taken of. The house was immaculate. She did an amazing job and would have her stay with my dog and cat again.”


8. Katie G.
“Katie has been taking care of my cats for years when I’m out of town. I trust her with my babies, my plants and my place. She’s officially my babies auntie now. I can always count on cute pictures and videos of my babies while I’m traveling. It literally is the best thing that you don’t need to worry about them at all and you know they’re having a blast with Katie.”


9. Christopher W.

“We could tell immediately that we could trust Christopher to babysit and walk our two large dogs while we got married in Palm Springs this weekend. While our dogs probably would have been fine sleeping in our room the whole time, we felt better knowing Chris was there to take them out and keep an eye on them for us. Would not hesitate to hire Chris again.”


10. Renee O.

“Love that Renee sends such great daily photos and videos. She gives our pups plenty of attention and TLC. She is also so great about keeping the house ship-shape. She is our go-to person. Recommend with no hesitation.”


11. Darin M.

“Darin was a great choice for us, our dog was happy to have him and we’re glad to give him a referral, we got updates, pics and Beau got play with his girl friend done the street. We never used a dog sitter before and I know that we can leave him when needed because the bond Darin made with our dog and neighbors. Thank you”


12. Erika B.

“My gosh what a wonderful young lady she took the most beautiful care of my animals and my home. Erika is a wonderful selection as a house sitter. I will absolutely hire her again.”




13. Ana Laura O.

“Ana Laura is fantastic! She has been pet sitter and companion to our toy poodle, Bijou, three times now. We couldn’t be happier with her care. Bijou has some special needs and requires daily medication. I never worry that any part of her care will be neglected or missed. Ana Laura is responsible, caring, and loving. I am confident that she will handle whatever comes up while we are away. Ana Laura has earned my highest recommendation. You can trust that your pet will get great care when you book with Ana Laura!”


14. Henny m.

“Henny was great with my cat, Tac. She sent pics everyday. He was very happy when I returned from my trip.”


15. Joseph T.

“We are so lucky to have found Joey when our house/dog sitter cancelled last minute. He took great care of our dogs and our home while we were away for a week. He kept in touch with us every day and sent photos and videos. He took extra special care of our very senior dog, following our special care instructions, feeding him just the way we usually do and carrying him outside to go potty. There were even no accidents in the house, which is highly unusual! You can tell that Joey really cares for dogs. We will definitely use him again!”


16. Robert A.

“Rob is a great guy who clearly loves what he does and took amazing care of our little blind Dachsund. We are thrilled to have found him. Squishy was comfortable with Rob immediately and Rob clearly has a lot of experience. He took great care of the house and we highly recommend him as a trustworthy sitter.”


17. Dola G.

“Dola was great. She went above and beyond taking care of our house and dog. Rafa seemed to really like her when we did a meet and greet. And Dola kept up with good communications and photos. Will repeat!”


18. David L.

“David is the perfect dog+house sitter. Great with the dogs, reliable, left the house in great shape. We couldn’t have asked for better! Definitely booking again and again! Thank you so much, David!”


19. Csilla H.

“Csilla is fabulous! Chelsea loves her and warmed up immediately. She is very attentive to the pickiest feeding and treat schedule and goes above and beyond. We are looking forward to the next trip so Chelsea can spend time with her new favorite sitter.”


20. Tyler W.

“Tyler really saved us after our flight was cancelled and we were stuck traveling. He was able to help us out and kept us updated with pics the entire stay. We’ll definitely be reaching out again.”
