1. Pierce M.

“Pierce is an absolutely fantastic house sitter and dog walker! He took such great care of my home and, most importantly, my dog, Freedom. From the moment Freedom sees Pierce, his tail starts wagging like crazy, and he can hardly contain his excitement—it’s clear how much he adores him! Pierce is attentive, responsible, and genuinely cares for Freedom’s well-being, making sure he gets plenty of walks, playtime, and love. Knowing that Freedom is in such good hands gives me complete peace of mind whenever I’m away. I highly recommend Pierce to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring house sitter!”


2. Tyler T.

“Tyler was a great sitter! He took great care of our dog and cat while we were gone. He also took great care of our house- went above and beyond, bringing in the mail, bringing in our outside flag due to windy conditions, and more! Will definitely request his sitting services again and would recommend him to others!”


3. Susan R.


“Susan did a wonderful job taking care of our senior shih tzu. She followed my directions perfectly. This included short walks, feeding schedule, play time, snuggles, & spending every night with her. She sent lots of pictures and updates throughout the 7-day stay. She even watered my plants and put the trash out. I haven't had great experiences with Rover and was about to give up. So glad we found Susan.”


4. Jessy & Chase A.


“I'm not one to leave my dogs alone much at all, but I had an important doctor's appointment out of town and took a chance on Rover! I was absolutely delighted to read Jessy's profile and thought she sounded like such a good match for my two spoiled basset hounds, Daisy & Olivia. From the moment I left, Jessy reassured me with her comments and photos that all was well. I felt that my babies got the attention that I give them and that were content and well-taken care of during the 2 days that I was gone. They both hope that Jessy comes back! Thanks from all three of us!”


5. Jessica G.

“My pups loved Jessica. This was the longest I’ve ever been away from them and our meet and greet already made me feel super comfortable leaving my babies with her. She was very responsive, communicative, and accommodating. Really appreciated you, friend!”


6. Claudia B.

“Claudia was absolutely amazing. Our pups loved her and she did an incredible job making Riley comfortable. She made sure to take them on walks multiple times a day. Will definitely be calling up if we need another sitter!”


7. Kaylan T.
“Kaylan did an amazing job with our somewhat difficult dog. She sent so many pictures and really eased our minds while we were traveling abroad! I would recommend her to anyone! Thank you, Kaylan!”


8. Kaitlyn & Tai’Lor B.

“Kaitlyn did a wonderful job! Our pups were very happy when we came home and seemed well taken care of. Kaitlyn even groomed our German Shepherd who is shedding terribly this season. We appreciated that very much! We would definitely have her stay again.”


9. Kylie M.

“Kylie helped us with a sitting last minute and was great! She was really good with communication and kept us updated throughout and sent us pics of our pups. We had no complaints!”


10. Maggie M.

“Oh my goodness, Maggie is hands down the best! She was the sweetest and most responsible pet sitter I could have asked for - pretty sure my pups were depressed when she left. Maggie took such care to feed and care for my girls just as I would have. She was just so good with them. My usually stand off frenchie was snuggling with her on the couch many times throughout the day. Maggie would send me pictures of the girls all curled up on her lap. We came home from our vacation to two happy, healthy pups and a perfectly taken care of home.”


11. Sofia F.

“Sofia was wonderful with our little pups. When she came over to sit she brought them a little treat bad which was really sweet and you can tell she has a love for dogs. She took good care of them and communicated well. Her responses were all very immediate as well which gave us a peace of mind while we were out. Highly recommend!”


12. Jose A.
“Jose is wonderful with our two corgis. He's walked them around the neighborhood, feed them, played with them, and loved on them like they were his own. We've had him take care of our pups overnight/daily walks, he's super organized, has quick communication, had him as a house sitter, and he's always flexible. 100% would recommend him!”


13. Megan S.

“Megan was sweet to our Alfred and took care of him well. She kept our house nice and clean. She had great communication and took great pictures of Alfred. We would definitely have Megan house sit our Alfred again.”


14. Alyssa C.

“Alyssa was amazing as a dog sitter! She was so professional and easy to work with, making the whole process stress-free. Remy clearly loved her time with Alyssa, and I came home to a happy pup and a spotless house. I can’t recommend her enough to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”


15. Rachel O.

“Rachel is amazing! She took great care of our sweet girl, and sent lots of pics and updates, which we greatly appreciated. Rachel’s love for pets is evident, and we are so happy she and our girl had a perfect weekend!”


16. Isabella M.

“Bella was amazing! We needed someone super last minute and Bella was able to come over early on Friday morning to meet us and the dogs before arriving for the weekend on Friday evening. She made sure to inform each meal time how much was eaten and sent photos! Bella stayed at our house and didn't make a mess (at least that I could tell). She even completed a few dog-related tasks that I couldn't finish before the weekend which was so kind and definitely didn't go unnoticed.”


17. anaya b.

“Anaya was amazing with Bayou…she was very much an added pleasure to have entrusted with my Fur Baby Boy! I will definitely have her sit again on my return trip!!!”


18. Fonz G.

“Fonz was incredibly helpful, caring for my dog during an ice storm., while I was away traveling abroad. My dog who is typically shy and nervous, was immediately attached to Fonz which was not surprising since Fonz has such a warm personality and demonstrated he knows how to communicate and handle doggies. I will definitely hire his services again. He also left my house clean. Thanks! :)”


19. Sarah C.

“Sarah was great with Pesky! She was very attentive to him and his needs. Loved all the great photos! Will definitely hire Sarah again should the need arise!”


20. Taylor M.

“Taylor is awesome and soo sweet!!! She took great care of Da’Vinchi. Da’Vinchi and I gained a new best sitter. ☺️☺️☺️”
