Allyson was attentive to our family's needs and communicative while we were away. Our dogs were relaxed and happy with her. It was a pleasure having her house sit for us.

Alex is the best, from the first meeting, my dog Bebe was just smitten with Alex. I could tell Bebe would be in good hands with Alex and I wasn't wrong. I got lots of pictures of Bebe while I was gone and Alex not only took excellent care of my baby but also my home. It was nice to know that both were taken care of while I was away. You can tell from how Alex interacts with animals, that they are their passion and it shows in the care that they provide. I would definitely have Alex watch my baby again and recommend them to all my friends!

Jordan was amazing! This was our first time using Rover and we were a little nervous but our fears were unfounded! Jordan stayed in contact through the whole stay and our pups were very comfortable with her. She did an amazing job with both our 4 month old puppy who can be a bit of a terror and our 8 year old beagle. Will definitely be using her in the future!

I can’t say enough good things about Tiana! Not only did she take fantastic care of our dog by making sure he was happy, loved, and well looked after, she also took the time to water a dry patch in our lawn. She then cleaned out our fridge whenever it unexpectedly stopped working. That was a huge help. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our home and pup were in such good hands. I highly recommend!

We highly recommend Sarah. She watched our dog over night for a weekend in June and went above and beyond for him. She sent many pictures and videos of him and it was clear he was having a blast and was well taken care of in our absence. He gets medication twice per day and she gave him his doses exactly when they were due each time. She is very communicative, responsive, and responsible. We will definitely be working with her again!

Nancy did a wonderful job caring for our home and our three very different dogs while we were away. She was responsible, communicative, and great about checking in whenever she had questions. She carefully followed all instructions, and it was clear our dogs were well cared for and comfortable in her care. We came home to happy dogs and a house that was in great shape. We truly appreciated the peace of mind she gave us and would absolutely recommend her to others.
