“Cortney was the definition of phenomenal while house sitting our Liza! She went above and beyond to ensure our pup was cared for and our home was safe during the winter freeze. 10 out of 10, absolutely recommend!”
2. J T.
“JT and my pup get along so well! And it’s great that she brings him to work where he can run around all day. I highly recommend JT to anyone!”
3. John L.
“John was awesome! Super communicative and very responsive when I would text asking for updates! My pups seemed to love him and my house was safe in his hands! 10/10 recommend!”
4. Sarah J.
“Sarah is amazing. I could tell as soon as I met her that Toasty was going to have a great experience. Sarah had so much love for him. My Toasty is an anxious boy and Sarah made him feel so calm. He warmed up to her very fast. While I was gone, Sarah sent pics and made me feel confident that my Toast was being cared for and loved. I highly recommend Sarah to care for your pets :)”
5. Alicia A.
“Ali was incredible, my pup has some quirks when he’s out on walks so I was nervous about having someone else take care of him but I knew he was in safe and competent hands with Ali! I’m new to the city so I was also nervous about having someone I didn’t know watch him for the weekend but as soon as I met her I felt completely comfortable leaving my dog in her hands. She was kind to me and Gronk and gave him the love & attention he would get with me!! I will absolutely call her next time I’m out of town??”
6. Emma C.
“Emma was incredibly kind and responsive during her caregiving of Huitl! She always checked-in promptly and was very respectful and attentive to Huitlacoche’s needs. She also kept our apartment tidy and well looked after during the sit! We’ll be booking again for future pug care needs.”
7. Matt D.
“Matt was amazing and so good to my dogs! Great at communication and sent me lots of updates. Highly recommend Matt and I will definitely be using him in the future.”
8. Brandy B.
“Brandy was great with our 2 dogs. We were gone for 2 weeks and had 2 different sitters. I was worried about the transition due to only having 1 guest room & the changing of sheets but they worked it out 😁! Also had someone picking things up that kept getting pushed out; & our fridge went out 🤪. Brandy was not only great w/our pups but handled all the craziness so my worry went away 😊. Brandy communicated w/me throughout her time w/the dogs.”
9. Christine C.
“Christine was wonderful! This was our first time booking her services, and I would highly recommend her. From our first meet and greet, it was clear she had a lot of experience caring for animals. She was easy to talk to, had good communication during our time away, and went out of her way to care for our dog, Jovi (who can be a bit of a handful and hard to walk sometimes!). She even went out of her way to take him to his favorite park/trail one of the evenings. The coolest thing was finding out she had cared for Jovi when he was a puppy before we adopted him (we’ve had him since he was 1 year old). His previous owner had also contacted Christine for dog sitting, and she was able to look back through her pictures and find young puppy photos of our Jovi! It was totally meant to be! 😆 I highly recommend Christine for all of your animal care needs!”
10. Makysia G.
“Makysia was wonderful! She stayed at our house and took care of our 3 dogs and cat while we went on vacation. Kysia was proactive in sending pictures and updates on our pets. She was quick to reply to any question we had and kept us in the loop on her comings and goings. HIGHLY recommend her.”
11. Tiffany L.
“Tiffany was great! Very accommodating and took great care of banksy. She communicated and sent pictures to keep me updated. Definitely will use her again!”
12. August H.
“August was the most exceptional house sitter I've ever worked with. She was extremely communicative, and always kept me in the loop with pictures and videos. She not only did everything I asked but went way above and beyond. My dogs loved their time with her and she kept my home in fantastic shape while I was away. Definitely will be using her again, and totally recommend anyone who wants a nice quality person to work with their family, do the same.”
13. Savannah G.
“Savannah was great, super attentive and responsive, and took great care of Peach while I was out of town for work! would definitely book again :)”
14. Gil V.
About: *available for last-minute bookings* I welcome you to read my reviews to get the best idea of the service I provide and the experience you and your pet will have with me! I offer minimal away time giving your pet company during their stay with me. I can tend to their needs and make them feel right at home, in my place. With a nice secure backyard, and a calm, quiet and cozy home interior, they will be spending their time safe and comfortable! I am a great communicator, patient and gentle in dealing with animals. I am comfortable and confident with handling custom needs (medications, exercise schedules, treats) as needed. I have always viewed this service as an enjoyable experience, not just a job. Please get in touch with any questions or to book service. Thank you so much! I am able to be home with the pets in my care as much as needed and. My focus during their stay is to help them (and their pet parent!) feel safe, comfortable and cared for the entire time. In my home, whether it be a daily or overnight stay, I put focus on the visiting pets and offer complete care and attention. If I am caring for an animal in a client's home, I follow any and all instructions, and make sure that the pet is comfortable with the visit.
15. Andrea R.
“Andrea was wonderful! She is so in-tune to what my little kitten needs. I got updates and pictures throughout the day and she noticed some things that I could start doing to help socialize my little gal. I so appreciate her thoughtfulness and kindness.”
16. Rebekah B.
“Rebekah was wonderful with our two high-maintenance yorkie mixes while we traveled for two weeks. She kept them happy and fed and kept us up to date on everything. She took photos and videos and helped us feel assured that they were doing well. We came home to happy pups and a very clean home, which was extra appreciated. Thank you Rebekah for your wonderful patience and care with our pups and our home!”
17. Deanna K.
“Deanna is an amazing pet sitter. She pays close attention to detail when caring for pup and routine. She is a wonderful communicator and photographer. She sends multiple daily updates and photos that truly warm your heart when you are away from your fur baby. We are so happy we found Deanna through Rover and our pup is very happy too. We have already scheduled her for another sitting.”
18. Leela W.
“Leela is the only person I would call to watch my dogs. She’s the only one I will refer to anyone else who needs pet care. She treats each animal as if they were her own. Not everyone can handle what she does but she makes it look so effortless because of the passion she has for what she does. You see the love for animals in the way she carries herself and in her aura. If I had to choose anyone to watch my babies it would definitely be her or they will be coming on vacation with me”
19. Emily Z.
“Emily is a wonderful caregiver to my dogs. She is loving, caring and makes sure that she treats all pets as if they were her own. She pays a lot of attention to detail and makes sure she is doing everything right by ours pets. I wouldn't want to leave my pets with anyone else.”
20. Vanessa G.
“Vanessa was great! Communication was above and beyond, and I could tell my very energetic lab had a great time with Vanessa! I would 100% recommend Vanessa to anyone looking for dog sitting/house sitting, i will definitely be using her in the future!”
