Violet is a fantastic sitter! I have been wanting someone to stay at my home so that my dog and cat aren't separated when I go out of town. I came home to happy pets and a clean house. I almost don't want to leave this review because I want to keep her schedule free for my trips!! Thanks Violet.

Hollie was great with our dog Cosita while we were away. Cosita is very timid but Hollie gave her space until she was comfortable. We came back to a super clean house and happy dog. Would totally recommend!

After a few negative experiences with other sitters on Rover were so relieved to have found Kathleen. She was amazing with our pup, a great communicator and we returned home to a clean house and happy dog. We’ll certainly request to use her again!

Aidan was great! I left my anxious hound dog, Dean, in his care over a long weekend. He was very responsive, and proactive about sending updates with adorable pictures. Dean does not warm up to everyone, but was so sad when Aidan left and was stuck with me again. I'll be using him again in the future.

Thank you David for providing such excellent care and safety for our sweet Gigi. I appreciate the pictures you sent daily and keeping me informed how she was doing. Thank you for taking her on walks. I really appreciate you keeping the house in excellent order. David even changed the guestroom bed linens and washed the sheets. He went above and beyond expectation I would definitely rehire David.

Nancy’s incredibly communicative and caring when dogsitting for our 2 small pups and my mom’s small Havanese. We felt our pups were in great hands and she was easy to work with when we had some last minute changes. One of our dogs is anxious and reactive - Nancy was thoughtful and patient in meeting him which we greatly appreciative. Will definitely hire her in the future.

Monique was a fabulous sitter for our often anxious hound. She is an excellent communicator and may even have ESP. It seemed like everyone someone in the family mentioned our pup, ping, a message and photos of our girl came through. Monique was very accommodating to our quirks and last minute changes in plans. We will definitely rebook with Monique for our next trip.

Amanda was the best! Sent lots of pictures and updates over the few days she watched our dog and cat. The animals looked like they were having a great time and getting a lot of attention. We look forward to having her watch our animals whenever we’re out of town next!
