My neighbors said they were observing Paula with my dogs at the park while I was gone - and what a great job she did with them. I will definitely use her again!

Erica did such an amazing job house sitting for us and taking care of our cat and dog. She is excellent with communication, very quick to respond, and she sent us lots of photos and updates like we asked. She made us feel very comfortable and confident the entire time we were away. We're very grateful to have had our pets and home in such great hands during our trip!

This was my first time using Rover, and it was very last minute. I didn’t really know what to expect, but Emily did such a great job at explaining the process and making me feel at ease! She took such great care of my babies and was very respectful of my home! I am so happy I chose to go with Emily, she will definitely be my go to girl moving forward!

Candice was great! She was willing to do a home visit before we booked her and came to see our place and meet our pup. We have a rescue puppy who is still working through some trauma and puppy mischief and Candice was so great with her - training where needed but also taking such great care of her. She sent us multiple photos a day and checked in often would definitely book her again.

Rasika was such a lifesaver for us. She stepped in last minute over a holiday and took incredible care of our dogs. She brought them treats, left the house spotless, and sent us daily updates and photos - which honestly did wonders for my anxiety haha. You can tell she genuinely loves animals, and our pups were so happy and relaxed when we got home. We’d book her again in a heartbeat.

I recently had the pleasure of having Ashley care for my beloved pets Ricky and Lucy, and I couldn't be more impressed. She went above and beyond to ensure my pets were well-cared for, happy, and safe. Ashley was incredibly attentive to their needs, providing regular updates and photos that put my mind at ease. My home was left spotless, and it was clear my pets adored her. If you're looking for a reliable, compassionate, and professional pet sitter, I highly recommend Ashley. Five stars all the way!

Arturo is such a caring and attentive sitter. I have a 15 year old maltipom who requires a little extra attention and care. I’ve booked with Arturo twice and he does not disappoint! He’s very communicative and shared consistent updates. I’m glad I found a trusted sitter Arturo. 😌

I can’t say enough good things about Karli. She is detail oriented, sends the best updates, and is the most courteous houseguest! I’ve been completely confident every time she’s sat for me and I’ve always come home to happy pups and a very clean house. You can’t go wrong in hiring her!

Erica took incredible care of our crew while we were out of town. She was so communicative, sent lots of pictures. We have a young Bengal who requires a lot of attention and she took him on walks with the dogs in his backpack and walked him on his harness. She took extra care with our senior dog as well to ensure she ate (she can be picky). All the animals were happy and comfortable when we got back home. Can’t recommend enough!!
