4. Jaylynne R.
“Jay Lynne was great with our two very different cats. She catered to each of their personalities and made sure they were super well cared for. She provided us with frequent updates and was an amazing communicator. We really appreciate her and will definitely have her care for our babies again.”
5. Luis G.
“Luis did a terrific job taking care of our dogs (and chickens). He came very well-prepared to the meet and greet prior to his stay and we immediately felt comfortable having him care for our pets. Luis kept us up to date on how the dogs were doing throughout his stay, and we returned to happy pets and a clean home - thanks!”
6. Luciana S.
“Luciana did a great job watching my standard poodle, Henri. She was very regular in communication, sending multiple photos each day. I feel like he was well taken care of during my vacation and I'd be happy to have her watch Henri again.”
7. Wendy R.
“Wendy is awesome! She kept us updated with pics of our pup while away and was responsive before and during booking. Our dog has a lot of energy and Wendy kept up with him playing fetch and keeping him happy. She stayed at our place for almost a week, and we came back to a clean house and a happy dog (she even took out the trash and washed the sheets of the guest bed!). Wendy was great, and we will definitely be using her again for our next travel!”
8. Ana G.
“Ana was an amazing sitter for my pup Ava. I recently lost my long term sitter, and only had a short amount of time to find a new sitter before a week long vacation. Ana was extremely flexible with booking a meet and greet given the short notice. That flexibility continued when coordinating House key drop-offs, dealing with home internet issues and adding an extra walk on the last day of her stay. I could tell immediately my pup really connected with Ana. I received several updates and photos each day. At least one before or after each walk or activity. They had a wonderful time together. When I returned, I came home to a happy healthy pup, and I knew my girl had been well cared for. I absolutely recommend Ana for pet sitting and dog walking.”
9. Victoria C.
“Victoria did a wonderful job taking care of my pup Chickpea in my apartment and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a Rover! A different Rover last minute cancelled on me and Victoria was flexible, communicative, and able to do a quick meet and great with my pup before I left. She sent me pictures throughout the stay and left my place in great condition. I really appreciated Victoria's care for my pup and I would definitely use her again.”
10. April G.
“April was great watching my Australian Shepard! He's an active pup and I loved the he was still able to get his usual amount of steps in. I also appreciated the photo updates”
11. Jalyssa B.
“Jalyssa was wonderful! Took very good care of my pup while I was away and made sure to send me pics and keep me updated. Highly recommend and will definitely be requesting her services again soon! :)”
12. Victoria H.
“Victoria was such a great pet/house sitter! Our pup can be a bit anxious so we knew boarding wouldn’t be the best fit for him. Victoria made us feel very comfortable by sending us detailed updates and pictures throughout the day. She took great care of our place. Would definitely book her again!”
13. Bridget D.
“I highly recommend Bridget to care for your pets! Bridget will provide safe, loving care for your pets and great customer service. Bridget grew up caring for pets and her love of animals shows in all her actions. Bridget is one of the hardest working people I know, consistently receiving praise and promotions from employers. You and your pets will be happy you chose Bridget to care for them!”
14. Kellie M.
“Kellie is awesome! My dog is very skiddish around new comers but warmed up to Kellie very quickly. She’s always on time and always works with my schedule. Very trustworthy. Kellie is my go to.”
15. Madison R.

17. Kannica C.
“Kannica was so communicative & sweet with Chai - it made me feel super secure knowing that Chai was being well taken care of! She sent multiple photos every day and I could tell that Chai felt comfortable with her and had a great time in her care this week. Would absolutely rebook :)”

Her dedication to ensuring the well-being and happiness of my pets was truly remarkable. Whether it was taking my dogs on long, adventurous walks or giving my cats the love and playtime they needed, Olivia consistently exceeded my expectations. Her reliability, professionalism, and genuine love for animals make her an invaluable asset for any pet owner. I can confidently say that Olivia is the only person I trust to care for my beloved pets when I'm away. Thank you for providing such outstanding service!”
