Catherine took excellent care of my dogs and cat while we were away camping. She kept me updated often and even sent me pics of them enjoying their time with her in our home. I will absolutely use Catherine again. She did a wonderful job.

Rachel was an absolutely fantastic sitter! She responded quickly to messages, maintained my (spoiled) cat’s specific routine, left the house spotless, and I returned to a happy relaxed cat.

Sydney was great with my dogs. One of them has behavioral issues and can be difficult until she warms up to people. The other is a senior dog who requires special care. Sydney was patient with them both and they were healthy and happy when I got home. I would absolutely rebook Sydney.

Daily updates and photos, so communicative and responsive, beyond respectful of our home and belongings. Seriously love love love her and hope to use her for as long as she offers her services.

Julie is the best house & doggie sitter! She communicated regularly, sent pictures daily as requested and helped me mitigate & take action on my basement flooding during breakup this spring. My doggie was relaxed & happy when I returned home. My home was clean & neat. I would recommend Julie very highly!

Erica cared for our little guy Milo who requires someone who has a lot of patience and understanding and at this particular time would be needing additional attention to post manage a recent recovery from where Milo was treated for severe back pain from compressed discs-which gave us reservation about leaving him for 2weeks… but upon meeting Erica and shortly after leaving AK -it was no time at all that we were 100% rest assured that Milo was in good and caring hands. Erica stayed in our home to care for Milo and was so very helpful and considerate. ( not to mention this was during the holidays) Erica was excellent in caring for Milo and was so very thoughtful in sending us photos and updates. She is responsible, caring, a great communicator and would highly recommend her. We would most definitely seek her care and assistance/ availability for future care. Can’t thank you enough Erica!!

Absolutely fabulous pet sitter! Jillian house sat for my two pets (a large dog and a cat). She was attentive to details, followed the health needs of both my pets (providing daily medications), and gave good exercise and play time. She was very communicative and kept me updated on how things were going, which I really value as it can be a bit nerve racking leaving your pets with someone new to them. I came home to some cute stories of things they had done, a clean house, and two chill and well loved pets…. Exactly what I wanted! 100% would recommend!

We came home to a spotless house, and her communication throughout the entire trip was outstanding. We couldn’t be happier with the care she provided and can’t wait to have her back for our next trip. Highly recommend!

Phenomenal. Rachel was an absolute blessing when all my regulars were unavailable. She was great with the dogs - including a very high energy puppy. She kept me updated regularly and was so accommodating as my plans changed last minute. It’s always a little weird to welcome a stranger into your home, but meeting Rachel the pre-visit, I knew immediately she was a kind and trustworthy person with a true love for animals.

Saved me and my fur babies ON AN HOURS NOTICE!! I had a sitter tell me they were leaving in 2 hours - and I was a plane ride away from house and pets. Melt down!! I went on Rover, told Annabella the story and she was at the house in a flash. Took excellent care of my house and my animals. Can’t thank her enough!

I had an emergency and had to leave town very suddenly and was not sure when I could return home. Bobby accepted my last minute request to book and she was here the next morning. Callie and Bobby’s pup got along great and I think having a 4-legged friend here helped Callie. I returned 2 days before the booking ended and Bobby was very flexible and accommodating.
