“Han is great to work with and jumped in to house sit at the last minute. Bader loves her and she keeps us up to date and took good care of the house.”
“Sammi was very responsive with updates, responsible, reliable dog sitter. She kept the house clean and the dogs safe. I really appreciated her informative, transparent, conversations. Thank you very much for house sitting our dogs.”
“Mark always goes above and beyond, leaving your pup (and place) better than he found it. He’s a natural when it comes to dogs. Not only does he provide ample care for your pup, he encourages good behaviors and reinforces training. He will always be my go-to man for dog sitting, as both my dog and I adore him. Thanks for all you do Mark!”
“Suzy was fantastic - provided ample updates/photos and did a great job with my dog. She was super communicative and I always felt in the loop with regards to walks, feeding, etc. Thank you Suzy!”
“Erin is amazing! She went above and beyond and you can tell just loves animals! I am so happy I found someone who I feel loves my dog as much as I do. I would 11/10 recommend her if you need an amazing sitter to watch your fur baby!”
“Sarah was fantastic! She was super communicative and sent lots of great updates and photos. She was flexible with timing and did a great job making sure he got his medications. She left our house spotless and most importantly Buster seemed really happy and well loved while we were gone. I have already booked Sarah for another stay and will continue having her care for Buster in the future!”
“Kylee was fantastic. My two dogs liked her right away. She sent pics to us each day and took great care of our dogs and our home. She is pleasant and very focused on the well being of our dogs. I will ask her to sit again and already recommended her to one of my neighbors in my town. A plus for Kylee! Katrin and Sam Peck”
“Mansa took great care of our pup and our home. She kept in touch while we were gone (sending along pics and updates), and we came back to a happy pup!”
“Sai stayed in our home and cat-sat our attention-addicted cat for 12 days. During this time, he gave our girl a lot of love, made sure she had all her needs met, and was responsive to any messages we sent him. Sai is trustworthy and professional. We would absolutely ask him to cat-sit for us again!”
“Daniel was great! Short notice availability. He was very accommodating with some minor last minute requests, and also when our relatives had to drop by a few times. Consistently sent (VERY adorable!) photos with a brief note/comment every day while we were on vacation. Was good about being communicative and responding to any questions as needed. House was left pretty clean when we came back. Highly recommend!!”
“Jackson sat for our dog over Spring Break for a week and took excellent care of him. My dog ordinarily is suspicious of men and keeps his guard up for quite a while before he trusts a male visitor to our house. But Jackson is a true dog whisperer, because they were playing tug o war and fetch within 10 minutes of their first meeting! Jackson left our home in great condition and was polite and communicative throughout. We appreciated receiving photos and videos during the week that provided peace of mind. Would definitely recommend this responsible and lovely young man.”
“Sarah was great. It was a last minute booking and she was very calming to me. My senior pup was well taken care of. Would definitely book her again.”
“I recently booked Julia to house sit and look after my young cat while I was on vacation. My cat hasn’t been away from me for long and I was worried about leaving her. Julia was incredibly helpful and responsive, completely making me feel at ease throughout the process. She is professional, an intelligent communicator, and very gifted with animals. My cat is very shy but I could tell that she was happy and comfortable with Julia through the many pictures and videos I received. Highly recommend. Thank you Julia! I will be booking again!”
“Sjocelin did a great job with our dogs!”
“Zoe was amazing with my dog, Sadie! She kept me updated throughout the day, and sent me pictures of Sadie and her having a great time together. It’s always difficult leaving your pet, but I was happy to know that she was in great hands. I will definitely be using Zoe’s services again in the future!”
“Drew does a wonderful job with our 2 Shih Tzus. We can depend on his timeliness. I actually made a mistake on the arrival time. I meant an A.M. arrival, but had marked an evening arrival with P.M. Drew caught the mistake and help me change the times! Everything runs smoothly and I feel reassured that Drew will reach out to us if he has a question. I feel very comfortable in recommending Drew to pup sit for you.”
“It was my first time using Rover and Sjoribel was great. She came to meet my dog and won her over immediately. Plus she asked good questions, communicated promptly, sent pictures and updates, and left the house in great shape. What more could you want.”
“Korrey watched our animals for two whole weeks, so we could go on a much-needed long vacation. He did a great job of caring for the animals & even wrangled all 3 of them to the vet for a routine visit. He loved them like they were his own. It was a relief to know they were given such good care & love. He was conscientious, communicative, & kept us up-to-date. We were fortunate to have his big open-hearted help.”
“Aly was fantastic! She watched my 5 month old puppy (and my home) for 5 days. She was super communicative with updates and pictures, and I can tell my dog had a great time! Bonus - the house was spotless when I got home. I would absolutely book Aly as a pet/house sitter again!”
“Mya did a great job taking care of my dog Winnie. She was communicative and sent lots of fun pictures. I would absolutely trust her to watch Winnie again!”
