1. Robin S.
“Our dogs did well with Robin. Given that they were not used to having people in their house they seemed to really like her and accept her as family. She did a great job communicating and our house was well taken care of and clean when we returned. We also really appreciate Robin's thoughtfulness and adaptability given we had to book her fairly close to our departure. Thank you Robin for taking care of our home and our boys!”
2. Becky D.
“We are so grateful to have Becky in our area. She is phenomenal every time she watches our animals and our house. We highly, highly recommend her services!”
3. Jalen H.
“Jalen did a great job with our two large dogs! They enjoyed their time with Jalen and Jalen went above and beyond to care for them and even the house!”
4. Brett L.
“Brett did a fantastic job taking care of my dog while we were out of town. We had an emergency with our original sitter and he came to the rescue last minute. He spend lots of time with my dog and kept in consistent communication with us.”
5. Samantha T.
“Sammi took most excellent care of Skittles!! He was happy and healthy when I returned from my trip and the house was in perfect condition as well. Great communication from Sammi, including some fun pictures of Skittles enjoying playtime with her. I would definitely use our services again. I felt very comfortable leaving my kitty and house in her care!”
6. Maria C.
“Maria was quickly responsive to my texts. She sent photos of my dogs and checked in with me even if I hadn’t sent her a text. She was able to work with my security system-no easy feat. She was polite and left the house and room neat. I was reluctant to use a service and someone I didn’t know, but I would happily use Rover and Maria again.”
7. Grace W.
“Grace was wonderful with our senior dog, high energy puppy and cat. Excellent communication and she left our home cleaner than when she arrived! She took care to understand each pet to make sure they were comfortable.”
8. Madison H.
“Madison was awesome with our two crazy dogs who can be sometimes overwhelming. She was very quick at responding and being available last minute, too. Right away after meeting, she made us feel super comfortable and I have no doubt our pups were in great hands while we were away. She is so affordable I think- just to add as a good bonus- in my opinion because you can tell she just genuinely has a passion for the well being of animals and keeps us well updated with notes and pictures, too. Will be the go to for sure”
9. Alexys J.
“Leo and Whinney were happy as clams to have Alexys to sit on and talk to. She sent us some great pics of our animals giving us piece of mind while we were on our vacation. She was responsible and followed all of our detailed instructions. She left the house neat and clean.”
10. Jerrie P.
“Jerrie is a fantastic pet-sitter. She always stays at my house and skillfully manages the care of my 100lb livestock guardian dog and thinks-he-is-starving-when-he-isn't-starving Siamese kitty. She communicates well and promptly, and leaves the house in fantastic condition. Definitely trusted and will utilize her services again!”
11. Onica C.
“Onica did such a great job taking care of my cat and dog!! She sent daily updates with pictures of my pets and was quick to respond!! I felt very comfortable living them with her, even Olaf who tends to be a shy boy got very comfortable with her! I will for sure reach out again when I need someone to watch Olaf and Lupe!”
12. Melissa V.
“Melissa watched my girl Ella (4 year old blue heeler mix) at our house for about 5 days while we flew out of state to see family. She came over and met us the weekend before so we could make sure it was a good fit, and Ella was so loved and cared for the entire time. She sent pictures whenever I asked for them and I even got a video of my sleepy girl snoring :) Ella got walks every day, snuggles at night, and the house was well taken care of too. I would definitely recommend Melissa!”
13. Andrew W.
“Andrew was great with molly. He was able to take her out on a few walks and was great on updating me on everything in a timely manor. I would definitely recommend him to friends, family and other pet owners. Molly loved spending time with him and he was able to burn off all her extra energy. ?”
14. Ruth S.
“Ruth had great communication, kept our place clean and tidy and did a great job with our two dogs! She provided daily photo updates. We would be happy to hire her again in the future for house and dog sitting.”
15. Savannah B.
“Savannah was such a wonderful sitter for our pups. They were extremely communicative and sent lots of photo updates, which we appreciated. When we returned, our dogs were happy and calm despite us being out of town for several days (usually not the case with our big dane!). Savannah even changed our sheets in anticipation of our return to provide ease after arriving home from a long trip! I will 100% book with them again for all of my pet sitting needs!”
16. Sitka P.
“Sitka did an amazing job with our 5 month old puppy! She even worked with her on training and sent us pictures and updates. She also left our house just as she found it. We could not be happier with Sitka’s house sitting!”
17. Kimberly K.
“Kimberly was so sweet, personable, attentive and loving with my little Leia. She sent me updates and and took great care of her. Will definitely be rebooking with her! We had a great time chatting and getting to know each other as well. She is AMAZING. She left the house spotless and in perfect condition. Thank you!!!”
18. Bryan B.
“I really can't thank Bryan enough for the great service he provided while we were away. For three weeks he took care of our cat, chickens, garden, and houseplants, all of which thrived under his care. He also handled a few things that came up while we were away. Getting home from our trip, the house was cleaner than we left it. He is excellent!”
19. Andrew A.
“Andrew is delightful and gets on wonderfully with our two energetic puppies. We was conscientious both in taking care of them and staying in our home while we were away. Highly recommended and we will 100% book with him again.”
20. Mikel B.
“Mikel is great with dogs and cats. She has grown up with them since she was a child. They love her and she is very good managing the responsibility it takes to ensure the dogs/cats stay safe ❤️ I have her watch my dogs and they jump out of the car to spend time with Mikel.”
