“Always the best, goes above & beyond. My elderly cat wasn’t feeling well, and she not only took him to the vet, picked him up, gave him his medicine, PLUS purchased some addl items to help him recover. The absolute best, can’t recommend her highly enough. ❤️❤️❤️”
“Misao is an amazing person and dog sitter. She sent us great photos throughout our vacation that showed how she was taking great care of our dogs - they were playing, going on walks, and being snuggled. She is also very thoughtful and asked questions about caring for our dogs that we hadn’t considered. One of our dogs is elderly and Misao was very supportive and considerate of her special needs. I would highly recommend Misao for others seeking a dog sitter.”
“Michael was great! For my dog, Klaus, it was love at first sight. When he met Michael he started trying to do zoomies in the hallway of my apartment building! Michael contacted me the day before he was going to take care of Klaus to ask some pertinent questions. I really appreciate it when someone is so professional and shows good communication skills. I could tell that Michael had read over Klaus' profile and that he wanted to make sure to follow my instructions to a tee. He sent me some adorable pictures of my pup while they were taking a walk He was very gracious when I returned home a little late. I could tell that Klaus really enjoyed his time with his new buddy, Michael! I would not hesitate to call on his again. Thank you, Michael! Klaus says hi!”
“Megan was the best whole caring for our 3 animals. We have a high anxiety dog and she was able to make him feel at ease and relaxed while we were away. She was communicative, sending pictures and updates and answered any questions we had.”
“Ryen was great! Loved the communication and I felt like I could really trust that my pets were being well taken care of - there really is nothing better than that kind of peace of mind.”
“Alicia came through when our plans changed. She is a phenomenal caretaker and our pups love the attention she gives them. We consider her a part of our family and the dogs think of her as part of the pack. She has provided quality care and because we found her, we have been able to enjoy two big trips we've gone on without concern. Simply the best!”
“Angela is a dream sitter! She went above and beyond while watching our pup, taking her on so many fun adventure walks at parks all around the area. She sent us detailed updates and lots of great pictures. Also left our home perfectly tidy!”
“Megan did a great job of taking care of Sadie, my high energy Australian Shepherd! She also was a wonderful communicator, responding promptly to any texts and setting me at ease by sending lots of pictures of my spoiled girl! I have already re-booked Megan for our next getaway.”
“Hannah is great! My dog, Klaus, really liked her and I could tell she liked him too! She came on time and followed all the instructions I left for her. I would not hesitate to call on Hannah again to stay with Klaus!”
“Yvette helped us out at the last minute for an overnight stay, her flexibility was a life saver! Not to mention my dog loved her right away, I felt so comfortable leaving him in her care, and I am nervous pet parent. Highly recommend!!”
“Jennifer did a fantastic job watching our older pup! She went above and beyond what we had asked with extra walks/snuggles to make sure our sweet girl was taken care of while we were out of town. Will definitely use her services again! Can’t recommend her enough!”
“Payton communicated with us well, followed our provided care directions, and took some wonderful pictures of our boy while in her care. Would definitely request her services again in the future.”
“Thank you Laney for taking such good care of our old boy while we were on vacation! We appreciated the good communication and the time you spent with him and staying at our house too. We appreciate you!!”
“Brieanna was a great house sitter. She cared for our dog recovering from a CCL injury and ensured he was given lots of attention while being sure he maintained an appropriate amount of exercise.”
“Brooklyn was our first Rover experience, she did a meet and greet in advance with our house and pets. A month later, Brooklyn bonded with our brood during the first day, sent lots of pictures and updates during our trip. She was very thorough with her caretaking and left our home exactly as she found it. I would highly recommend Brooklyn for cats and dogs (oh and she fed the hummingbirds for us too)!”

“Jaimi went above and beyond when staying at my home caring for my 2 dogs and cat! I came home to a spotless house-definitely cleaner than I left it! Also she was so sweet to congratulate me and my husband on our pregnancy with a gift! The house and pets were well taken care of; I knew I didn’t have to worry leaving them in her hands! I will be having her back as long as she’d like to come! :)”

Payton was great. We had to schedule only a couple of days ahead of time and she was willing to accommodate us and came out next evening for a meet & greet with our menagerie. The dogs took to her instantly - which is not common for our husky in particular. Everything went well the day of her stay with our pets and everyone was happy. We’d happily recommend Payton!
This was our first booking with Sierra. She took great care of our two pups in our home (particularly the one pup who needs multiple medications daily) and was very responsive during her stay. We are thankful to have found Sierra and would recommend and book with her again!
Sara Was Incredible — Truly Above and Beyond. She was absolutely amazing with our two Bernedoodles. One of our dogs was recovering from a leg injury, and she cared for him with so much patience and attention. She sent us daily pictures and updates, gave the pups their vitamins, and followed every instruction perfectly — which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We came home to a clean house and two very happy dogs. She genuinely went above and beyond in every way, even checking in after our trip to see if we needed anything else. We would book Sara again without hesitation. If you’re looking for someone who is responsible, caring, and truly invested in your pets’ well‑being, she’s the one.
Words cannot describe how much we appreciate Alicia with our fur babies. We know that when we have her around our 2 dogs and our home are in good hands. She sends daily photos with updates that always includes great humor. Alicia always makes us feel that she loves our dogs just as much as we do. She is always are first choice for dog care. 💙💙
Rylee did an awesome job taking care of our cat Faramir over a week long house sit. She sent us many lovely pictures, followed our care directions well, and we came home to a happy healthy pet. She took great care of our home while we were out as well, which we greatly appreciate. Would absolutely recommend her to anyone.
Brieanna did a wonderful job taking care of our pets, including 2 cats and a large fish tank. As a house sitter, she kept our home in good order and was great about sending us updates daily so we knew our fur babies were being well taken care of. It made it much easier to enjoy our vacation knowing everything at home was in good hands. She’ll be our first choice for the next trip we plan!
I had a wonderful experience with Natalie staying with my pets while I was out of town. Natalie was very easy to communicate with throughout the request for booking and for the duration of my trip. She sent photos and regular updates about how my pets were doing while she was with them. Natalie did a great job taking care of my pets and my house and I will definitely reach out to her in the future when I need a petsitter.
Mae did an awesome job watching our two pups over a long weekend I very short notice. One of our dogs required several meds that changed over the course of a few days and she was able to get our very picky dog to take them without an issue. She was very communicative and reliable. Would recommend to anyone!
Jamal & Briana are amazing!! I was so nervous leaving on vacation & leaving our two crazy basset hounds for a week because the sitter we used in the past was challenging and not a great experience. These two are Pros and put us at ease immediately! We got daily updates with photos and videos and when we arrived back we could tell Willie Nelson and Ruby were taken care of and loved, as was our home! We will definitely be booking with these two in the future. Thank you again for loving our pups and we hope they didn’t drive you too crazy with their silly antics!
