“I truly can’t say enough good things about Jaime! From start to finish, she went above and beyond in every way. She was incredibly communicative — sending thoughtful updates, photos, and check-ins that gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. The biggest testament to her care? I came home to a happy, relaxed fur child who genuinely seemed like they hadn’t even noticed I was gone. That tells me everything I need to know about how loved and comfortable my child felt in her care. It’s not easy trusting someone with your furry family member, but she made it effortless. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and compassionate sitter — and I would love to use her again anytime I need support. So grateful to have found her!”
“Zhi is phenomenal ! She took care of our two dogs for a week at our home. They enjoyed time with her spoiling them with treats and plenty of attention. Our older dog requires a little more care and Zhi did just that. She was so kind and caring to him, he truly loved her attention. Our younger dog has separation anxiety, Zhi was very attentive to him. He loved the walks she took him on. He loved her so much that when she left for a bit his howling made my neighbors worried lol. All in all, Zhi is an exemplar dog sitter. How she cared for our doggies and kept our home clean and tidy was well beyond expectation. Thank you Zhi ! Ollie misses you already.”
“Amazing 2 weeks house, dog and cat sitting by Rachel. Incredibly communicative, sends LOTS of photos, and really understands how important her job is to care our babies and home. Exceptional care of everything and handled any and all unexpected circumstances with grace and grit. Would 100% recommend and use again!”
“Adam was available for a last minute booking which was greatly appreciated. He kept my older dog company, giving him breaks in the yard during a rather warm day. We look forward to the next time Adam can take care of Harper! Thanks so much!”
“Niva is truly exceptional — we cannot recommend her enough! She took care of our 2.5-year-old cat for an entire month, and from the very beginning, she was absolutely wonderful. Despite accepting our request on short notice, she showed up with full commitment, not only caring for our cat with incredible attention and love but also looking after our home as if it were her own. Niva is an excellent communicator — proactive, thoughtful, and consistently keeping us updated with daily photos and messages that gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear she took the time to deeply understand our cat’s personality and needs, asking insightful questions and going above and beyond to ensure comfort and happiness. Our cat adored her instantly, and honestly, we’re convinced Niva is a bit of a cat whisperer! We even learned a lot from her during this experience. When we unexpectedly had to extend our trip by a week, Niva was incredibly understanding and accommodating. She even went out of her way to help us explore backup options, which meant so much to us during a stressful moment. On top of everything, she handled deliveries, collected mail, looked after our plants, and left our home in a pristine condition. Niva was truly a godsend. Both we and our cat absolutely love her, and we wouldn’t hesitate for a second to work with her again. We hope to have her back soon!”
“Sejla went above and beyond to take great care of our pup for over a week! We received many pictures and wonderful, thoughtful updates. Our pup is slow to warm up to people, but Sejla worked with her and it's clear she has a new bestie. It's great peace of mind for us knowing our dog and house are well taken care of so we can enjoy our vacation. Thanks again Sejla!”
“Maria stepped in at the last minute when my dog was ill and couldn’t go to her usual spot. She was attentive to all instructions and medication, sent me frequent photos and videos, and absolutely took great care of my English Bulldog. Absolutely will have her back again!”
“Donna was great with my 2 year old American Bully and my 9 year old Boxer mix. She took very good care of them and kept me updated with photos which I appreciate. Will definitely be using Donna in the future.”
“I have asked Michelle to cat-sit my kitty twice now and she has been great! My cat has separation anxiety and not only is Michelle great at calming her down, she plays with her a lot. She does a great job of making sure the litter is scooped, water is filled, and food bowls full. She has also been very respectful of my home; she is very clean. I will be asking her to cat-sit my Nugget in the future.”
“Excellent job taking care of our two dogs. Very attentive communication, followed all instructions carefully, and gave lots of updates. The house was also well taken care of and very clean. Thank you!”
“Damian was a great sitter for our two kitties, Lizzie and Mei Mei. He stayed at our house for 10 days and was very responsive, providing daily check ins, as well as extremely punctual and professional. We will definitely be reaching out to him next time we need cat sitting! The cats were comfortable and so happy when we got back.”
“Chris was extremely helpful during a time of need for our dogs Sage and Huey! He was dedicated, professional, and took the best care of our two dogs. He even made an extra trip when asked and we are extremely grateful for his help. We would love to work with him again in the future! 10/10 highly recommended!”
“Stephanie was amazing with our dog! She was great at communicating and felt extremely comfortable with leaving my dog in her hands! I will definitely be asking her to dog sit again!!”
“Elizabeth did a wonderful job caring for our little dog, Coco. She connected well with Coco during our meet and greet. Coco is a bit shy and she warmed to Elizabeth immediately. While we were away, Elizabeth sent us updates of how the two of them were doing. She also took excellent care of our home — leaving things nicer than she found them! I would highly recommend her as a dog and house sitter. We are looking forward to having her back!”
“Tianyu (Scarlett) was absolutely incredible! From the start, she did a meet & greet with our dog Lola and asked thoughtful questions — setting the tone for just how attentive and caring she is. She house sat and cared for Lola for 5 days, sending detailed daily updates and photos that gave us total peace of mind. She was also extremely responsive whenever we reached out, and when we got home, the house was spotless. Truly above and beyond care — for both Lola and our home! We’d absolutely recommend Scarlett to anyone looking for a sitter who will treat your pet and home with the utmost care. We’ll definitely be booking her again! 🐾”
“Joy was absolutely wonderful with our dog! This was our first time having a dog sitter come to our home, and Joy made the experience so comfortable and stress-free. I could tell right away that Skye was treated with so much care and love. Joy kept us updated, took great care of her during walks, and was very attentive and thoughtful. We felt completely at ease knowing Skye was in such good hands. We will definitely be rebooking her in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter! 🥰🐾”

Mamoo did a fabulous house sitting job while we were out of town for four days. Was very proactive with sending pictures and videos several times a day. Our two dogs appeared to really enjoy Mamoo. The house was in as good or better shape than when we left! Very pleased with Mamoo!
Kristina gave me complete peace of mind while caring for my dogs. From the moment we met her, she had such a calm, kind, and reassuring energy, and my dogs immediately felt comfortable around her. She took the time to carefully listen to Lola’s specific needs and followed every instruction exactly as requested, which meant so much to me. I am especially grateful for the attention and care she gave to Lola. Throughout the entire stay, she kept me updated with frequent photos and messages, so I always knew how my girls were doing. Her communication was excellent, and I never had to wonder how they were doing because she was always proactive about keeping me informed. My request was made on short notice, but she still went out of her way to accommodate us, and I truly appreciated her flexibility and willingness to help. I’m incredibly thankful for the care she provided and would absolutely trust her with my dogs again. Highly recommended!
Diana was absolutely incredible! From the start, she did a meet & greet with our dog Lola and asked thoughtful questions that reassured us she really cared. She house sat and cared for Lola for 2 nights, sending updates and photos that gave us peace of mind. She was also extremely responsive whenever we reached out, and when we got home, the house was spotless. Truly above and beyond care — for both Lola and our home! We’d absolutely recommend Diana to anyone looking for a sitter who will treat your pet and home with the utmost care!
After using Rover for almost 5 years now I can safely say that Maria has been the best I’ve met so far! She’s super loving, genuinely caring, transparent and a true dog lover. She not only followed Rio’s schedule but went over and beyond by getting treats and fruit for him when they got over. Maria even cleaned up the house and linens which she totally didn’t have to but it just shows how sincere she is. She treated my home like her own 💕 and sent regular updates and pictures which I appreciated so much since this was a longer trip … Rio looked so happy in them! As we got home and it was time for Maria to head out, Rio gave her so many kisses and even went looking for her in the guest room later in the night. I truly appreciate you Maria, you are really the best. Rio and I hope to meet you again soon :)
Edison did an excellent job taking care of Koda in my home. I really appreciated that after getting to know Koda, he introduced him to a couple of his dogs and gave him some social experience. Edison understands different dog breeds and their personalities which allows him to provide personalized care.
Stephanie took care of our energetic German Shepherd Husky mix two times now while we were traveling. She is great with our large dog and clearly has lots of experience handling dogs. Our dog immediately enjoyed being with her and it was easy to tell that he was having a great time. She is very responsive, punctual and easy to communicate with. During our trips she provided frequent updates. She was very respectful of our place while staying here and left the house in perfect condition. We already booked with her again for our next trip and can absolutely recommend her as a dog sitter.
Damian was a great sitter for our two kitties, Lizzie and Mei Mei. He stayed at our house for 10 days and was very responsive, providing daily check ins, as well as extremely punctual and professional. We will definitely be reaching out to him next time we need cat sitting! The cats were comfortable and so happy when we got back.
Scarlett took such wonderful care of our dog, Snow Cone! She was so kind, flexible to a couple of last minute changes, and took lots of great photos. She communicated really well with us, with very prompt responses, and asked great questions during the meet and greet. We are excited to book her again soon!
Pierce did a super job with Manny, an 8 year old Minpin “ “rescue”. This four day trip was to be first time I left him with a sitter and I was apprehensive about his level of “separation anxiety”. The minute Pierce sat down for our meet and greet, my apprehension was lifted. Manny jumped into his lap and made himself comfortable. When I returned, Manny was calm and happy. He’d had a weekend of walks, cuddles and was completely calm and relaxed. The apartment was tidy. I would recommend Pierce for his calm manner, attention to the details and giving Manny a stress free experience.
Sejla took amazing care of our 10 year old Golden Retriever Cooper while we were on vacation in Europe. We received twice daily updates about how Cooper was doing, including pictures during walks and his normal daily antics. It was apparent to us, that Cooper was very comfortable with Sejla, and rarely left her side during the day or night. Sejla also took amazing care of our home, as she left the house cleaner than we left it. We recommend Sejla highly.
Tatiana has been looking after my dog (a very spoiled dog, btw) for the past couple of days, and everything has been great: - Constant communication - Followed all the guidelines - Sent updates/photos, which every dog owner secretly refreshes their phone for 😄 Honestly, I’m no longer sure my dog still sees me as his favorite human… I may have some competition now 😂
