1. Rayna H.
“Rayna was a super star after my dog had surgery and we needed help a number of days over the course of two weeks. She was quick to respond to messages and set up a meet and greet. She followed all the post-surgery instructions, kept us informed of how things went, and sent lots of photos. I would absolutely recommend her for all your dog needs!”
2. Jana W.
“Jana was a perfect dog sitter! She accepted the job on very short notice and arrived early. She really saved the day! She was very gentle and loving with my tiny chihuahua puppy. I loved getting the picture updates. Thank you, Jana!”

6. Kaitlin B.
“Kaitlin was great! My cat always gets mad at me when I leave but a lot less so this time. Kaitlin engaged Coco during the meet and greet and I could tell she was happy during their visit from the photos. Will definitely book Kaitlin again!”
7. James H.
“James is both a responsible and caring pet sitter & dog walker. James is great with animals and not only provides great care but goes the extra mile to understand pets and their needs. He has taken care of our family dog Riley for years. We needed some extra help when we first got Riley as a puppy and James has been a great help. Even when Riley was a puppy and not well trained, James had a lot of patience with Riley and has always been flexible to dog sit or walk him when we need. He is super responsible and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him as a pet sitter or dog walker!”
8. Gabriel B.
“Gabriel is great. He is dedicated to making sure animals are comfortable with him and provides amazing care. His communication is also great.”
9. Eileen T.
“I completely trust Eileen in the care of my pets. My first time having her care for my dogs and cat was when I was abroad for two weeks. She took the time to meet and get acquainted with my pets a few days before my trip to understand their needs and routines. Eileen was attentive and updated me as needed on how they were doing and ensured my cat got her daily medication. I knew her care and love for my pets was felt because my dogs were especially sad to see her go! Since then, I have had Eileen care for my pets on multiple occasions when I am away because I know they are in the best hands!!”
10. Nick E.
“Nick is a great pet caregiver. My old aggressive male dog liked him and my current dog loves him also. He loves animals. Choose Nick!”
11. Olivia H.
“Olivia is an extremely caring, gentle, and trustworthy woman. She has taken care of our German Shepherd and our cat many times, and they love her! I trust her to ensure they’re safely on walks, to be on time to be with them, and to give them the play time and love they need and crave. I can’t imagine a better person to take care of our pets when we are away.”
12. Delayni S.
“Delayni was fantastic with my pup. She was great with her communication and naturally is wonderful with how she interacts with dogs. She was also very accommodating to my wishes of her coming to meet my dog in person prior to me leaving. I highly recommended Delayni to everyone!”
13. Caroline M.
“Caroline was great, super responsive, and took amazing care of Cleo!”
14. Oliver H.
“We were happy to leave our two cats in Oliver's hands. The kitties established an immediate rapport at our first visit, and Oliver sent along photos each day so we knew they were doing well. They were well taken care of.”
15. Wanda R.
“I'm very thankful for Wanda because I was away overseas and my previous sitter had to cancel.. this was not a situation any pet parent should ever be put through and I was able to get ahold of Wanda who came to the rescue even without me being there to show her the procedure for taking care of my 2 cats. (Granted, I had a Youtube video giving an overview of the process and I gave her the codes to my lockbox and my home alarm which all went smoothly.)”
16. Briana D.
“Briana is a superstar with a natural gift to take care of animals. She is the ideal person to take care of anyone’s pet. She will provide a terrific service with her natural love for animals and her beaming positive attitude. Briana has had pets her entire life and will be an awesome addition to Rover!”

“Absolutely Amazing! Tanya took care of our cat while we went to Spain for Christmas and New Years. She is extremely responsible, trust-worthy and really good at communicating! She even took out our trash for us! Would totally recommend to anyone. Thank you, Tanya✨?️”
18. Grace H.
About: I have had 3 cats since I was 5 years old and currently have 2! I have taken care of my neighbors dogs, going for walks, feeding, playing, cuddling, etc. I also cat sit for friends and neighbors. I am currently a commuter student at Emmanuel College as a freshman, so I have free time in the afternoons after my classes for part time work! I have 2 cats right now and adore them! I am very experienced with them as well as dogs. I dog sat everyday for 1.5 years, a 1 year old Golden Retriever. I would go on 30-45 minute walks as well as spend about 30-40 more minutes in the yard playing with toys as adolescent dogs have so much energy! I would make sure she got water and food as well.
19. Charlotte M.
“Charlotte is very sweet and great with our quirky rescue! I never worried about our dog being left in her hands and appreciated her patience.”
