“Katharine was great! She followed the instructions we left, kept all of the animals happy and our home was left in great shape. We appreciated all of her updates throughout the day and spending time at the house so that our puppy was able to play and run around while we were away. We’d absolutely hire her again.”

“Liesa did a great job. She followed instructions and stayed a little after due to our concert going late. It was a long day and we had to leave Lily alone a couple of times already, so her willingness to stay after was a big help. We received pictures of our little girl and she was easy to communicate with.”

“Shelby is an amazing dog sitter! She took great care of our dog while we were away for a week. This was our first time using Rover and Shelby single handedly exceeded our expectations! She was very attentive to Hazel’s every need. I know Hazel had a great week filled with lots of fun outdoors on walks or playing fetch with her frisbee. She even took it upon herself to bring her own treats and toys that she gave to hazel. We will definitely be using Shelby in the future!”
