1. Miranda L.
“Miranda is wonderful!! She took excellent care of my babies--even through the firework anxiety!! She was very flexible with changes in my scheduling, too. I couldn't even tell that anyone had been in the house when I got home; everything was in place and well taken care of. My pets didn't even get excited about my return! I will definitely use Miranda again!!”
2. Leslie D.
“Leslie did such an amazing job with our babies! We hadn’t had much luck relying on our friends to watch them so we decided to try out Rover and it has been the best decision we ever made. She sent us several pictures throughout the time we were gone and when we returned, all the animals and the house were in great shape! We couldn’t be more pleased and will definitely be booking with her again in the future.”
3. Saren C.
“Saren is everything you would want in a dog sitter. She is responsible, good with dogs, good with communications, and very easy to work with. We could not have been happier with the week she spent with our dog.”
4. Chris B.
“Chris was fantastic - he looked after my dog and 9 month old kitten for a few days over the holidays. He went above and beyond - checking on them more frequently than I’d required/expected and sent plenty of updates and photos. My dog doesn’t usually eat when I’m away but he seems to have eaten with Chris which is amazing - shows me he felt safe and loved while I was away. Thank you!”
5. Jennifer M.
“Jennifer stayed at my house to watch my very anxious dog baby. She got the best photos of him. My little Cheech boy did very good and cannot wait for Jennifer to help us again.”
6. Athena S.
“Athena did an amazing job! I plan on reaching out to her again and again in the future. She kept our apartment tidy, took care of our cat, and gave our cat plenty of love and attention. I would recommend her to anyone.”
7. Allison L.
“Allison is a dog whisperer! She loves dogs and did an amazing job taking care of my doggo. I would recommend her to anyone. She sent me pictures every day so I felt she was in good hands. We also FaceTimed so I could see and talk to Cookie. Reliable and consistent too.”
8. Alyson H.
“Alyson did absolutely great with my dog Louie. She’s definitely made Louie feel really comfortable. I enjoyed the pictures that she sent me throughout caring for my Louie. Will definitely book again.”
9. Meredith H.
“Meredith took great care of all of our animals. She messaged us to let us know that they were fed and that they were doing good. She also sent us a picture of our pups. Thank you so much.”
10. Katie S.
“Katie was a perfect caretaker for our dogs while we were away getting married. She eased my worries about leaving the dogs alone for the first time with someone that wasn’t family. She gave us detailed updates every day. We will definitely use her services again and we highly recommend her to take care of your pets!”
11. Jill P.
“Jill was great with our pup Kiki. We left for 6 days and Jill was there the night before to make sure the trade off wasn’t tough on Kiki. It was our first time leaving her with a trusted friend and Jill followed our rules for her and the house (keeping doors shut, AC at our temp). She even made sure to play the soothing music for Kiki when she left the house which is how we like to keep her calm when she’s alone. Jill was great keeping our pup entertained and fed while keeping us in the loop. We will consider Jill the next time we go on a trip for sure!”
12. Erin K.
“Erin has an incredible knack with with animals! When she took home two shy, fearful shelter cats who the shelter employees said would likely remain scared and timid, she was patient and worked with them consistently; now they are active and attractive boys who love their home and their human. Erin also adopted an older pup whose weight issues were impacting his health, and now he's a spry old man who loves going on walks and has energy to spare. She would be an excellent support to anyone looking for a calm and patient hand with their pets.”
13. Lauren E.
“Lauren was a perfect fit for our wild boy. We will definitely invite her back for future visits! I appreciated her communication, she shared plenty of cute photos while we were away!”
14. Ava W.
“Ava was great! She is one of the best sitters I have had so far, she did exactly everything that I asked if her. I loved all of the picture she sent throughout the day and that made me feel at ease although I was 300 miles away. My apartment felt even cleaner than I left it! My cat was seemed happy and content when I came back - she wasn’t clingy at all like she didn’t miss me much lol. I would definitely ask Ava to sit my place again. Highly recommend her.”
15. Willow S.
“Willow was great with our greyhounds. We booked Willow to watch our pets for the day while we were out for an extended period of time. He was flexible with arrival /departure times, attentive to instructions and his calm demeanor was exactly what our two needed. We will be calling on Willow in the future to watch them again when the need arises.”
