1. Kaitlyn D.

“Booked last min with Kaitlyn because I had a work trip pop up, she was amazing! Messaged her two days before I had to leave she came by to do a meet & greet too and legit let me book last minute when my travel planes kept changing… besides her being understanding, she watched my pups really well, updated me when I asked. Definitely rebooking”


2. Cindy H.

“I was so relieved to have Cindy watching our 2 dogs and 2 cats. I am definitely a helicopter mom but Cindy is so knowledgeable and well versed in dog and cat behavior that I was put at ease immediately during our meet and greet. She was quick and professional when communicating and sent some really great photos to me while I was away. She even sent a video of my dogs happily playing which they don’t normally do when they have a sitter! They loved her as much as I did. 10/10 I would book her again! Thank you, Cindy!”


3. Laura H.

“Once again Laura was great with our pups. She kept us informed and sent pics thru the weekend. We highly recommend Laura and will use her again in near future :)”


4. Claudia S.

“Claudia is everything we needed in a cat sitter and able to stay the nights with our single cat. She was super conscientious, asked questions when needed, was really great all around. We would hire her again in a heartbeat and hope she would come back. She really seemed to enjoy hanging out with and caring for our girl. Thank from us and the happy cat we came home to!!!”


5. Marianne B.

“Marianne was so nice and accommodating. She took great care of our dog. She kept us updated daily with pictures. During our meet and greet, our dog took a liking to her immediately and I knew we found the right dog sitter for our pet. Will definitely call on her again.”


6. Sue Hyon B.

“Sue Hyon took great care of Tofu! She sent me pictures and updates promptly, which I really appreciated. She was also very flexible and was able to care for Tofu on short notice. I definitely recommend her!”


7. Cedell L.

“Cedell was everything I wanted in a pet sitter and more. She understood how to make my dogs feel safe and loved. My puppy had never been with a pet sitter before and was very hesitant about her at first, but she quickly won him over with her calm and warm demeanor. Cedell kept me informed and sent lots of photos and videos which was great!”


8. Eli O.

“Beyond happy that we found Eli on Rover . We have two- I would say high maintenance-ish dogs and Eli handled them like a champ. We were very specific in the manner that we wanted our dogs cared for, and it seemed as though Eli went above and beyond. He stayed in our home for the weekend while we were away. When we returned, our pups seemed very happy and comfortable with him and our home was just as we left it. I can’t wait to plan our next trip so we can hire Eli again. Would 1000% recommend. Thanks Eli for the great service you provided. It’s obvious that you love what you do.”


9. Bryce K.

“Did so well with Bubba. He sent pictures to let me know she was good and communicated very well with me. Will definitely schedule him again!!!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🌟”


10. Allison M.

“Lacey and Lois love when Allison comes to pet sit for them. Allison threats them with tender loving care. I always feel confident that my girls are well taken care of. I get lots of pictures of the girls. If you are looking for an excellent pet sitter to take care of your pets, I recommend Allison for the job”


11. Hannah W.
“Hannah is such a great influence around animals. Since I have known her, she has volunteered by fostering 2 dogs and 2 cats, who all seem to adore her, over the course of 2 years. She is responsible and good at communication. I cannot recommend Hannah enough”


12. Rachel B.

“Rachel was great. She accepted our last minute request and was flexible and a great communicator. Our dogs were very happy. I will definitely reach out in the future if I need a dog sitter.”


13. Brianna W.

“This was the first time I left my dog for an extended stay with someone who was not friends/family. I felt very safe with the house sit/dog sit arrangement and that allowed me to relax and enjoy my trip. I appreciated how communicative she is - sent photos of their jaunts to the dog park and let me know that he got into a tussle with a cat. Highly recommend her!”


14. Bryce W.

“Bryce was fantastic with our two golden retrievers! One is older and needed meds and the other is a puppy with all the energy and rambunctious nature you can handle. We came back from our trip to dogs that had been well taken care of care of! Thank you Bryce - look forward to repeat booking!”


15. Desiree O.

“We loved having Desiree at our house with our pup! She’s super kind, very sweet and even kept the house cleaned at the end of her stay. I knew our dog was safe and cared for and had fun with all her walks and attention. Would highly recommend Desiree! We will definitely have her help us another time. ❤️”


16. Aleksandra J.

“Aleksandra took great care of my cat Nutterbutter and she sent lots of pictures and videos while we were away! Highly recommend and we will most definitely be requesting Aleksandra!”




17. Amber & Nico W.
“Amber and Nico were fantastic for my little pup while I was away. They were also very accommodating as I had had to go out of town unexpectedly. With little notice, they both stepped up and made Mila feel right at home. I felt as ease knowing my dog would be taken care of with these two. They kept my pup active throughout her stay and since she is a very social pup, they made many trips to the park we typically go to. I received many photos and videos of Mila throughout her stay and she always looked happy.”


18. Tré B.

“I cannot recommend Tre high enough! He is conscientious, attentive, and professional. He took such wonderful care of my dogs. We give special diets to our dogs and have a senior dog with health problems. Tre was careful to provide what each dog needed. He asked questions to make sure that he was doing what we wanted and that the dogs were well taken care of. He also went above and beyond at times to make sure they were comfortable and he was prepared in case if an emergency while we were away. I’m very pleased and grateful for Tre’s work and wouldn’t hesitate to hire him again.”


19. Alan G.

“Alan was simply amazing! He took such great care of our two babies. He played with them, took them on long walks, and loved them just as we would. He was also very good at keeping us updated and sending lots of pictures. It made for a very relaxing weekend knowing they were in such good hands. I highly recommend him!”


20. Tabbitha M.

“Tabbitha is the best, most communicative and warm pet sitter! I feel very confident my little dog is being treated kindly and cared for while I am away. I highly recommend this very trustworthy pet sitter.”
