5. Yahawa A.

“We couldn’t have asked for a better, kinder or sweeter person to watch over our dog. As a dog owner your pet is your family member and you want to trust the person in their care and in your home. Yahawa is all these things. I wouldn’t hesitate to yes yet again recommend her highly. Thank you!”


6. Lisa R.

“She is AMAZING!! She did good care of my picky and tricky dog. She is really great at communication and kind on every questions that I asked her.”


7. Kristina F.

“Kristina was outstanding. We have 3 dogs & 2 cats that she sat for, for over a week. She kept me up to date with pictures and notes every single day. She took out my garbage, brought up the bins, brought in mail,& left a detailed note when we returned about each pet. I think they’re all going to miss her, so I’m definitely hiring her again. It’s a great feeling to know someone is loving on your pet while you’re away, & I had total peace of mind my entire vacation thanks to Kristina.”

“Riley did a wonderful job with our puppy Leo while staying at our house for 4 nights and 5 days. She was excellent with her communication and sent lots of photos showing Leo was happy and comfortable. Thanks Riley!”


10. Riley P.

“Could not have had a better sitter! My Shepherd was well-taken care of by Riley while on a 4-day vacay and again when I had to travel for work. She stopped by for a meet & greet and showed up timely for the dogsit. She updated me periodically and sent photos as well. My dog had to take medication and she administered it perfectly. I would absolutely recommend her and hope she continues on with Rover caring for animals, because she is a natural.”


11. Heather & Robert K.

“Heather was great for our overnight trip. She sent plenty of picture and updates on the animals through her entire stay. We had never left the animals with someone they didn't know for an overnight trip so we were a bit nervous on how things would go. It went so well that we will be using her again for a trip in the near future.”


12. Anna K.

“Anna was great! Our pets were well taken care of and she was respectful of our home. She sent us photos as requested too. Will definitely book with her again.”


13. Serenity S.
“Serenity has a genuine love for animals. She ensures that they receive the best care from multiple daily walks, teeth brushing and other grooming needs. She ensures meals are given appropriately so her animals thrive and are happy and healthy. Her animals receive lots of hugs, kisses and affection. She adores all animals and enjoys learning more about them.”


14. Adam G.

“Adam was fantastic! He lavished our dogs with attention and lovin's just as we hoped he would. They quickly took to him and were comfortable enough to nap on him. The house was just as clean as we left it so that was nice to come home to. Would recommend to anyone ?”


15. Christine B.
About: I grew up with border collie mixes, and began dog-sitting and cat-sitting in high school. I’m able to do walks, make a few visits throughout the day, or have dogs at my house. I also recently began fostering dogs and have experience with anxiety, puppies, potty training, and crate training. I work full time, but have a hybrid schedule and come home solely to play with my dog on my in-office days at lunch for an hour. I’m always home on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and split Fridays. I have a fenced in backyard and my Lab, Brady, is looking forward to having some new friends around to play and snuggle with! We love to play fetch, frisbee, and take walks.


16. Kimberly O.

“Kimberly is the best! I didn't want to board our dogs because our older dog is very anxious and is getting older, and I thought the best thing would be to have someone stay at our home with our dogs. I was a little apprehensive, but as soon as I met Kimberly I knew I didn't need to worry. We have two crazy boxers and she kept them busy and entertained all weekend (I'm not even sure they care that we were gone lol) She gave our older pup her medicine and just really cared for them like they were her own. She also sent us multiple photos of them so we could see they were doing well and having fun:) It was so nice to not have to worry about them during our vacation. We will most definitely use her again when we go on another vacation!”


17. Kaitlin W.

“Kaitlin provided great communication throughout her stay with our two boys. She shared photos without request and maintained our home exactly as we left it. Will definitely be using her again in the future!”


18. Megan A.

“Meagan was a great sitter. Both my Dog (Luna) and my Cat (Merlin) seemed like they were well taken care of. Megan kept us updated with what was going on and also sent pictures, which we loved. It was nice seeing are fur babies while we were away. I would definitely use her again when the need arises.”


19. Shannon P.

“Shannon took excellent care of my Bella! She kept us informed all week with pictures, took her on walks and even shoveled the snow! Our house was clean and tidy when we came back. Thank you for taking great care of her!!”




20. Brad J.

“Brad is a wonderful pet sitter who takes excellent care of our Maggie-Moo.. Right off the bat when I first met him I got an excellent first impression. He is very warm and friendly and was great with our pet! When we came home after our week away our Doggie was relaxed and happy. He even cleaned our carpets with his own carpet cleaner and my place was even cleaner from when I left! Daily updates and pictures were awesome. Definitely will be using him again in the future. Thanks from Maggie and Us.:)”
