“Susan took great care of Indy while I was away. I received frequent updates which helped keep me at ease while I was out of town. Susan was very diligent getting Indy’s food/ outside routine down. Thank you, Susan!”
“Avraham was everything you’d ever want in a sitter. Kind, attentive, reliable, accommodating, trustworthy, quickly won over our pup. His photo and video updates not only kept us informed but also reassured us that Mochi was in great hands, allowing us to fully enjoy our vacation. We couldn’t be happier with his care and will definitely book him again in the near future.”
“Amy was courteous and communicative, and she and her partner took great care of Dexter. We got regular updates throughout the weekend, and coordinating with her was easy and upbeat. Would happily trust my dog in her capable care again!”
“John really cares about my dog Barney. When I leave Barney with him, I know he’s in great hands. I have left Barney with John twice now when going out of town for trips and it went great. I highly recommend him.”
“Eleanor was amazing! She treated Mango like her own and was incredibly easy to communicate with. He had a wonderful stay at her apartment. Would absolutely recommend.”
“This is about the third or forth time I left my Chance with Pamela. What can I say. My Chance just loves Pamela I could swear he was smiling at me when I dropped him off. She is the best.”
“Andrew was extremely accommodating and responsive. Haven’t met Ellen yet but Andrew and Mango were lovely and my dog ,Otto looks forward to seeing them again soon. Definitely recommend!”
“David is fantastic. I’ve used his services one other time and can safely say he’s my go to for watching our sweet girl. We went on an 8 day vacation, our first time leaving Rue for a long period of time (she’s 9 months old,) and we couldn’t have felt more comfortable and at ease. David regularly sends updates, photos, and more! So reliable, so fun-loving, and more importantly our Rue absolutely adores him. Would highly recommend David for all of your dog needs. Simply the best!”
“Kylie was super patient with my dog who is extremely anxious in new environments with new people. Really appreciate her taking the time to understand how to make him feel more comfortable.”
“Matthew is INCREDIBLE!!! We had several cancelled/delayed flights and kept pushing back our pick up time for our pup. He was truly a pleasure to work with and very flexible. Couldn’t recommend enough.”
“Cannot speak highly enough of Mint who took care of our two cats while we were away for two week. Mint was incredibly attentive, caring, and enthusiastic, ensuring our cats had everything they needed. She made sure they were well-fed, played with, and given plenty of affection. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind knowing they were in great hands. I highly recommend Mint for anyone in need of a reliable and loving cat sitter. Would 100% have her watch our kitties again!”
“Alexis took excellent care of Nova. Great communication. She was also very accommodating when my pickup plans needed to change last minute and was willing to not take other bookings when taking care of Nova (who doesn’t get along with other animals all the time). Would absolutely work with her again.”
“Justin was great. We were just in NYC for a night and needed someone to take care of our golden retriever. Justin was prompt, nice, and took great care of him. Would definitely use Justin again on our next trip to NYC.”
“Luis and Ana were delightful people who took great care of my elderly basset hound, and for 8 days no less! Highly recommended and would book with them again.”
“My energetic puppy Cooper absolutely loved his stay with Skyler! Skyler showered him with love and attention, and took him on lots of walks and puppy play dates to keep him entertained. She was extremely communicative during his stay and kept me updated with photos and videos of all of the fun they were having. She was extremely flexible with pick up and drop off and I know Cooper was in great hands while I was away for a weekend. Highly recommend Skyler - Cooper can't wait to see her again!”
“Cookie had a great time with Katherine! Cookie really enjoys running and playing and hanging out with other dogs. And Katherine sent so many pictures to keep me updated. She also made it super easy for pick up and drop off. We would love to have Cookie stay with her again!”
“Absolutely amazing cat sitter! Attentive, caring, and so sweet. Elif answered every single question I had and made me feel completely at ease. Truly a warm and friendly person who genuinely loves cats. She even gave me a Polaroid keepsake of Milo, which was such a thoughtful touch! Milo opened up right away and made himself very comfortable with her. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience — highly recommend!”
“Saylor is just the best!! He watched our dearly departed dog for years, so of course was the natural choice once we got our puppy Killy in 2020. Killy loves him so much that he pulls to his street every time we walk by, and when we run into Saylor he whines when he walks away. Trying not to take that personally...haha, but I know he just has so much fun when he goes there! Saylor keeps us updated with photos daily and is always wonderful. We're so happy Killy has a second home with him.”
“I could not have imagined a better sitter for my puppy, Leo. This was my first trip away from him, so I was a little nervous and didn't know what to expect. Wei was super communicative from the start. We exchanged many messages before my trip, and met in person so my pup could meet her sweet doggo ahead of time. I could tell right away that Leo was in good hands. I so appreciated all the pictures and videos of Leo while I was away. You can 100% trust her with your pet! We will definitely book with her again. Thank you Wei!”
“Vera made my first experience using Rover an absolute dream! She sent me multiple updates on Freya every day, and was extremely responsive throughout the entire process. It’s such a weight off my shoulders to know that Freya was in such good hands while I was out of town, and that she was so comfortable in Vera’s home. Thank you Vera for being so amazing!”
