1. Lexi K.

“Lexi is wonderful with our elderly pup Daisy. Daisy becomes stressed when we are not home, but with Lexi there, she was calm as a cucumber when we returned from an evening out! It was clear she felt safe and cared for by Lexi.”




2. Ashley W.

“As usual, a smooth transaction/stay! We absolutely love Ashley. She is very flexible, punctual and most importantly - clean (we only do home stays). Our pup is always happy to see Ashley and enjoys her company very much.”


3. Rachel H.

“Rachel was great with our pup and cats, as always! While away we can feel confident the house and pets are being cared for and they all get lots of snuggles!”


4. Emily S.

“Highly recommend Emily’s services!! She made our senior dog so comfortable during her 4 day in home pet sitting. We received daily updates & pictures, and we could tell how much our dog enjoyed spending time with her! It can be nerve wracking leaving a senior dog at home, but we were never worried about our dogs care and safety while we were gone and Emily was with him.”


5. Katie M.

“Katie stayed at our house with our anxious rescue Sadie while we were out of town for a weekend. Sadie takes a while to warm up to new people (she seriously hides under the bed for hours). She’s not the easiest dog, but Katie did a great job of comforting her and meeting her needs. She had great communication and provided numerous pictures/updates. She was easy to work with and I’d definitely book with her again!”


6. Caitlin B.


“Caitlin was amazing with our big guy Giannis! She had excellent communication with us all weekend, and her love for our big slobbery guy was apparent!!!”


7. Keisha P.

“Keisha was amazing!! She sent lots of updates on our dog and spent really good time with her the whole 5 day trip. She was in such good hands and we would DEFINITELY use her again! Thank you!!”


8. Emily M.
“From day one, Emily treated Stout like her own. She’s responsible, attentive, and has this magical calming energy that even my high-strung pup couldn't resist. Walks? Always on time. Feedings? Spot on. Belly rubs? Endless. But here's the thing: I think my dog likes her more than he likes me. I once picked him up and he gave me a look like, "Oh... it's you." So yeah. Emily's that good. If you’re looking for someone who’ll love your pet like family and send you the cutest photo updates, Emily is your person.”


9. Jasmine T.

“Jasmine was amazing! She was extremely communicative and professional. I would absolutely book Jasmine again. She sent tons of photos and updates and my pets loved her!”


10. Maggie S.
“Maggie is the best! She is a true dog lover and she is our automatic go-to whenever we need a dog sitter. She has always given our pup the best care from the puppy days into his senior years. We trust her to stay at our house, and he has also done extended stays at her place. Can’t say enough great things about her!”


11. Julia M.

“Julia was perfect! She sent pictures of our pets to ease our minds. Always answered me anytime I had a question. Will definitely book again, regularly! Price was very reasonable too!”


12. Molly O.

“Molly is the best! She is very patient and caring with our senior dogs. She takes initiative to engage and enrich our pups with lots of fun and play. Of equal, if not greater, importance is her quick thinking when unforeseen events arise. She’s shrewd, highly responsible, and I trust her in an emergency. She is always our first choice. All around, she’s a stellar human and highly capable sitter!”


13. Liz B.


“Liz was wonderful! Excellent communication. This was my first time using Rover and she made for an amazing first experience. I will definitely use her services again.”


14. Ella S.
“Ella is a trustworthy dog walker. She is reliable and genuinely loves dogs. She has worked at a doggie daycare, so she knows how to handle dogs in different situations and always does what is the best for the dog.”


15. Lily S.

“As always, Lily goes above and beyond. Helped navigate an u expected, significant GI problem with one of the dogs that required a visit for emergency care and helping mitigate a significant clean-up job. Communicated fantastically throughout the saga”


16. Riley M.

“Riley was great at making sure to hang out with our dog Obie while we were out of town. He was not even quick to whine upon returning from a trip. Great at responding when asking for any updates and we had good communication while trying to meet up to get details down. We would definitely recommend for any pet needs :)”




17. Kelsey H.

“Our dogs have never had a sitter in our home, but we wanted to give it a try, as they are always out of sorts if we pick them up from a kennel. Kelsey gave several pupdates with photos, and we got to come home to 2 very happy boys that probably didn’t even notice we were gone. Hope she’d be willing to sit for them once in awhile in the future.”


18. Cindy H.

“We had a great experience with Cindy. She took care of our furbabies like they were her own. Excellent communication, got daily pictures and updates. I did not have to worry at all will 100% rebook with Cindy.”


19. Nikki G.

“Nikki did an excellent job caring for our puppy, Moose, and Kitty, our 10yo cat! She stayed in our home, which was great for our pets, because in the past we’ve utilized drop-in sitters, and they did not drop-in as often as they should have. But with Nikki there, they had plenty of attention since she was staying at our house and working from our house. She went above and beyond in making sure that our house was clean when we arrived home. She sent pictures and updates and even watered our vegetable plants while we were away. If you need an in-home pet sitter that will lessen the stress on your pets (and you) while you are away from home, consider Nikki!”

“Krystal is an amazing Dog Mom and Dog Lover! My dogs are obsessed with her always so happy when she watches them for me !”
