“Morgan was super helpful when I needed a sitter on my road trip! She was so good with Molly and helped out extra since Molly wasn’t feeling the best on my trip and eating irregularly”
“Allison clearly loves dogs and looks after all of them with great love and joy! She provided my two dogs a safe home away from home for 5 nights. She gave Ruby her medicine and made sure all their needs were met. She is excellent and we will be back!”
“Katie and her family took incredible care of my little fur baby. It was the first time that Bodhi was left with anyone but family and Katie took incredible care of him. I would definitely use Katie again.”
“Would definitely use Christle again! My boys came home happy and clean. It's the holidays so she went above and beyond and sent home the cutest Polaroids and treat gifts.she sent meaningful updates. Thank you so much!”
“Nazim is super easy to work with, and my dogs clearly love him. In general, I don’t like leaving the dogs alone, but I feel great about leaving them with him. Nazim understands and likes dogs. Ten out of ten, would book again.”
“I recently had Gail take care of my dog, Dior, for a week while I was on vacation. The bond Gail and her dog Ginger formed with Dior was heartwarming. It was clear that she genuinely cared for my dog, providing plenty of love and attention. Dior came home happy and well-exercised, which is a testament to the great care they received. Safety was a top priority for me, and I felt completely at ease knowing Gail was watching over my pet. [He/She/They] followed all instructions regarding feeding and I appreciated the regular updates and photos that kept me in the loop. Overall, I couldn't be happier with my experience with Gail. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter.”
“Cannot thank them enough. It was my first time using Rover and on a short notice request- no problem. I got pictures of Alfie playing and cuddling throughout his stay which set me at ease. He also came back smelling nicer and was freshly brushed, he was so happy! I 100% recommend Heather and Norman”
“Wow! What an incredible experience with Nancy and Steve! Our dog was born blind so we are very cautious about who we trust her with. We could not be more pleased with Nancy and Steve! They followed all our safety requests and instructions to the letter and additionally, spoiled our dog rotten! We understand now what people meant when they said this was like sending their dog to stay with his or her doting grandparents. Our dog was taken on multiple long walks daily and treated like royalty while in Nancy's care. We received many pictures and videos and updates every day and it was very clear our dog was very happy and safe! Nancy even played her optional brain games with her and cooked her chicken and rice just 'cause. If you have a special needs or elderly dog, Nancy's the lady for you! And if you don't, she's still the lady for you! We can't thank you enough, Nancy and Steve!!”
“My dog loves to play and I can tell he had a lot of fun running & playing during his stay cause he came home exhausted & conked right out when he got home, and also slept in the next morning. I had to wake him up at 8 a.m. Lol.”
“Elizette was fantastic with my dog. She clearly loves animals and she made sure he was comfortable and happy during his stay. She and her family treated him as their own. She sent me lots of updates and I was so impressed with the care she put into taking care of him.”
“If Arthur could write this review himself he would. He has had a few sleepovers with Amy and Mayzie. Every time he arrives he sprints to her door with tail wagging and pure joy. When he gets back home it’s KO. Snoring like he ran a marathon and had the time of his life doing it. I would trust Amy again, and again. 🐾”
“Triba is the best thing that could happen with a super worried cat mom, she arranged our video calls while I was away. She loved her like her own, she is definitely becoming her foster mom permanently ?”
“Betsabeth is great with Grizzy. We don’t worry that he won’t get played with or cared for when she’s watching him. She also is accommodating to our pickup/dropoff schedules. Highly recommend!”
About: I’m trustworthy, professional, knowledgeable and able to handle emergencies. I make your pet feel comfortable, the main perk of pet sitting is getting to spend time with cute animals! En schedule pon I’m currently available every day any time to play with your pups with proper communication ahead of time. . . . . I live in a townhome where I can watch, play and take care of your fur babies I don’t have any pets. Or if anyones prefer your babies to be watched in your home I could do that too
“I was a bit anxious about leaving my pups as they can be a little high maintenance. Patrick and Susan were wonderful with them, though. They sent pictures everyday with a note about how the dogs were doing and what they did with them that day. They took them for walks and played ball just like the pups like to do. They also had everything ready to go when it was time to pick them up. I would certainly ask Patrick and Susan to care for my pups again in the future. Thanks for taking great care of my buddies.”
“Andrea was wonderful with our senior dog! I was so nervous about leaving him for more than a few days but it was obvious from her correspondence with us as well as pics and videos that he settled in and was happy and comfortable. I think he would have very happily stayed longer with Andrea and her sweet dog🐾.”
“Great experience having Taiyo stay with Sarah. Very prompt communication, extremely friendly and clearly evident from talking to her that she treats guests pups with as much care and attention as she does her own. Her easygoing approach gave me incredible piece of mind that is invaluable when leaving your fur babies behind on vacation. Will absolutely be booking again and would recommend to anyone looking for a reliable sitter.”
