1. Peter W.

“Peter is such a well-spoken, considerate, and accommodating young man. My dog immediately fell in love with him, and Peter offered the care I would've given if I were home-- and then some! Peter not only offers exemplary pet care, but also conducts himself in an organized and cleanly matter. You can be confident that he will keep your house in pristine condition. I didn't ask him to, but he vacuumed, took out the trash, and cleaned the dogs' water and food bowl. I would recommend Peter to anyone with pet needs because you can tell he cares about the work that he does. His rates are fair, he is open to negotiate, and you can count on him to respond. Peter has set the bar for pet care, and pet owners should never have to expect any less. He sends consistent updates, and spends quality time with your pet. Without a doubt, I will be booking with him in the future!”


2. Gillian R.

“Gillian did a great job taking care of the pups. She asked all of the right questions to make sure they were comfortable and well taken care of. She communicated well with comments and pictures. When she came back to leave our key the pups were excited to see her. That’s all I needed to confirm she made them happy.”


3. Rebecca L.

“Rebecca did a great job watching our dog Oliver over the Thanksgiving holiday. She was very communicative, gave him plenty of exercise, and left the house neat and clean. Thank you Rebecca!”


4. Catherine B.

“We had Catherine watch our dog and cat overnight. Everything went well and everything was fine upon return. She didn’t mind that Chloe was barking at her like crazy upon arrival and all soon calmed down. Would use her again.”

9. Eileen F.

“We are repeat clients of Eileen and she is truly the best of the best! Treats our dogs (and our home!) with so much care and love. We will plan future trips around her availability because it’s hard to imagine leaving the dogs with anyone else now!”


10. Ysabel D.
“Ysabel is a very responsible young woman. Her love for animals shows in the kindness and care she provides to them. She is very reliable and trustworthy. She is great with my 3 very high energy dogs. So much so that i recommended her to a friend, who she helps with her elder dog when she is away. I highly recommend Ysabel to take care of your fur baby.”

“Chris was great with my dog, Demi. She's a senior dog and needs some extra care and he made sure to prioritize her. He was respectful of my home and kept it clean and tidy. I would definitely recommend.”


14. keily a.

“We were in town for graduation and were so lucky to find Keily! I was anxious about leaving our 7 month old puppy with a stranger so was very relieved when Keily was excellent in every aspect. She truly exceeded my expectations. Keily is very professional and communicative. She really cared about my puppy and clearly loves animals. I very much appreciated the text updates with pictures throughout the day. Graduation day was so enjoyable thanks to this experience on Rover. Thank you again, Keily, puppy Sam had a blast!”


15. Yhakerra M.

“Yhakerra was so attentive and extremely caring towards both my fur babies. It was not easy either because both my kitties are in separate spaces of the house due to one of them chasing the other and hissing/growling. However, Yhakerra did amazing and handled the separate feedings/litter cleanings like a pro. She also left the house very clean and immaculate. She was even so caring that she asked if she could carry the youngest baby, Luna to the bedroom and let her sleep in the bed, which of course I was so touched that she was so sweet to accommodate the well being of the babies. She had to move her litterbox and food bowls. I highly recommend Yhakerra and will be booking her again in the future. Thank you so much Yhakerra, I’m so thankful to have had you care for my babies.”


16. Dréana L.

18. Lauren F.

“Lauren! Omygod, you saved the day for us and our Shorty. I can't thank you enough for the peace of mind you gave us. You're a special person and it shines through. You have a calming but confident effect! A true gem. Thank you again for the care you gave to our little Shorty.”


19. Cecilia U.

“Cecelia is a lovely and loving sitter for our dog. She also left the house exceptionally - maybe cleaner than we left it! She got Theo outside for all kinds of walks and adventures to stores and other sites. A wonderful find for our family!”


20. Jude A.

“Jude (and Luna) were excellent caregivers to my 2 large dogs. She sent pictures every day and I could tell the dogs were happy and having fun. I highly recommend this amazing duo!”
