Kimberly was incredibly responsible and communicative. Emmy (my siamese mutt) is an excellent judge of character and when I arrived home she was in excellent spirits, having obviously received a tremendous amount of attention and love. I will absolutely be working with Kimberly again, and I would encourage you to do the same -- she's terrific!

CJ is awesome! I recently booked him for pet sitting at my house and he took wonderful care of my pup abs my home while I was traveling for my job. He is very communicative, and checked in frequently with updates and pics of my dog having fun. He took meticulous notes on how to address my pup’s specific needs and meds, and I can tell he loves caring for people’s pets. He was also very respectful of my house and left it in great shape after his stay. I highly recommend CJ and plan to rebook next time I need care of my best girl

Barbara was extremely thoughtful in housesitting and took great care of my dog, who loved her! I arranged for her to stay with my dog a bit last minute, and she was wonderfully thorough in making sure she knew exactly how to best care for him including his special diet, medications, favorite walk spots, any quirks. She was very communicative and I loved the regular updates of how my dog was doing. Absolutely recommend and will happily book with her again!

We reached out to Cordigen with a last-minute request, and she was incredibly accommodating, kind, and flexible from our very first messages and meeting. She immediately recognized that our pup needed support with calm greetings and was so thoughtful in how she approached her, speaking softly and offering gentle, kind reminders to Scout not to jump. Throughout the day, Cordigen was wonderfully communicative, sending photos and updates so we always knew how Scout was doing. She even played calming music on the TV and was happily playing with Scout in the backyard when I arrived home. At pickup, she gave a detailed rundown of the day, from bathroom breaks to how she helped Scout stay calm when she heard noises outside. We truly couldn’t be happier to have found Cordigen as a sitter and would enthusiastically recommend her to anyone looking for dog care, especially for dogs who may be a bit anxious or need extra help staying calm. Thank you, Cordigen!

We can’t say enough wonderful things about Ian, our Rover pet sitter. He took exceptional care of our furry family—DJ, our dog, and our two cats, Roxanne and Danny—and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Ian went above and beyond in every way. He sent multiple daily photos, which truly reassured us and let us see just how happy, relaxed, and well cared for our pets were. From frequent walks for DJ to engaging playtime and attentive care for all three, his dedication and genuine love for animals really stood out. What sets Ian apart is his thoughtfulness and initiative. Not only did he provide outstanding care for our pets, but he even noticed our neighbors putting out their garbage and kindly took ours out as well—something we never asked for but deeply appreciated. That kind of attentiveness and generosity is rare and speaks volumes about his character. Ian is truly one of a kind. His level of care, reliability, and kindness is second to none. We wholeheartedly and enthusiastically recommend him to anyone looking for the very best in pet care. Your pets will be in amazing hands.

Katie was absolutely fantastic—we couldn’t have asked for a better first experience with a new sitter. She went above and beyond from the very beginning, taking the time to do a thorough meet-and-greet and really listening to all the details about Tiger—his quirks, schedule, and medication routine. It was clear she was not only attentive but genuinely thoughtful in how she approached his care. During her stay, Katie was incredibly communicative and reliable. She followed all of our instructions perfectly while also incorporating some of her own training techniques—and we actually noticed positive improvements in Tiger after just four days, which was amazing to see. She also treated our home with so much care, leaving everything in pristine condition. She even went the extra mile by taking out the trash and starting laundry, which we truly appreciated. This was hands down one of the best experiences we’ve had with a first-time sitter, and we’re so excited to continue working with Katie. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, responsible, and thoughtful dog sitter!

About: I grew up with a cat and two dogs, and am trusted to care (walk, feed,etc) for roommates’ pets for short intervals or days at a time. I have experience caring for dogs from 30lb to 120lbs. I am a graduate student with a flexible schedule and time to care for your fur babies! I previously provided regular care for cats and dogs in DC, and am looking forward to caring for new pets on CA. It gives me joy to interact with dogs & cats! I love playing with cats and dogs in safe environments. I am comfortable watching out for them in dog parks or individual settings. I have experience walking multiple dogs at once.

Alexis was very thoughtful and diligent in her approach to caring for our pups. She went above and beyond to give them lots of exercise time outside and play time inside. She also kept us updated on each dog’s status, so we could discuss any potential changes in care that might be helpful. We look forward to having Alexis look after the pups again soon (and I know they’d love future opportunities for cuddle time with her!)

Korinne was fantastic. She took care of my kitty for 4 days and spent ample time with him, stayed the night, provided several updates a day and made me feel that he was well taken care of. Will definitely try to have her visit again in the future when I need help!

Genevieve took care of our dog Miso over the long weekend (house sitting) and did a stellar job. It’s clear she loves animals. She asked thoughtful questions during the meet and greet, and sent lots of photos and videos throughout her stay. She even left flowers and some baked goods for us after we returned. We would definitely rebook her!

CJ is a great pet sitter. He is extremely responsible and reaches out anytime there is a question related to the care of the pets (we have one dog and two cats). He gets to know the animals and their preferences. I would definitely suggest CJ to other people.

Rachel was wonderful housesitting our very senior kitty. Her reports were not only very detailed but also full of love and warmth for our kitty. We also really appreciate that she is comfortable giving medications and keeping an eye out for basic senior issues. This is the first time we’ve left our 19 yr old kitty in a year, but we knew he was in great hands with Rachel. We can’t recommend her enough.

From first introduction to yesterday's assignment, Stephen was a 5-star performer and a pet's best friend! Highly recommend Stephen if you're looking for a dog and pet savvy person who's responsible, caring, and detail-oriented... and one who adores dogs and dogs (at least mine) adore right back. Stephen's care meant my dog got a "spa day" rather than a dull day... walks, treats, sunshine naps, and ear scritches all included.

He was super-communicative, sending multiple photo and written updates every day, ensuring me that she was being cared and loved for while I was out of the house. I’ll be reaching out to him first when I need a dog-sitter again!

Jessica did dog sitting for your 14 month energetic puppy (Cherry) and house sat as well. She was a pro at helping with the Cherry's playing, walking and all the schedule, including morning, afternoon, evening walks and other craziness. Cherry was so happy with her. She house sat in addition to pet sitting and left the house in immaculate condition. 5 stars!
