“We went overseas with total confidence knowing Josh and Anja were looking after our home and pups. We've had them stay with our dogs five times now and every time they make accommodations to fit us into their schedule and take absolutely top knotch care of our beloved duo. They always provide tons of photo updates and check-ins, which we always love so much. Not to mention the joy of coming home to CLEAN FLOORS and a tidy home in the middle of early IL Spring (aka - Mud Season 🐾)!? Unmatched. We're so thankful we've found such incredible and dedicated sitters! Book them with confidence.”
“We used Olivia to watch our two pups during our weekend getaway. Olivia had a constant stream of communication from the get go. She scheduled two initial meet and greets with us including a second one to see how the dogs would respond if she came in and no one was in the house. While we were gone she gave us many updates including pictures of the dogs. She did a phenomenal job and even made sure to straighten up before she left! We will definitely book with Olivia again.”
“My Bella loved Ann the moment they met. Ann was responsible, respectful , kind and calm. I will definitely trust and ask Ann to watch my fur baby again when we go away! She was on time and sent me photos and updates. Thank you so much !!”
“Excellent dog/house sitter! The dogs were happy and well taken care of. The house was even cleaner than the way we left it. She sent updates and pictures at least once a day, which was much appreciated, and appears to have taken care of everything we asked of her. We are thankful to have Casien available to watch our pups when we are gone!”
“Five plus stars!!! Brooke went above and beyond for us and our dogs! She stayed overnight and sent us pictures/videos to update us. Highly recommend!!!”
“Haley watched over our two doggos on a weekend trip away and had a great sitter experience. Communicative and provided photos to ease our minds while we were away. Thank you again Haley!”
“Very playful and energetic with my pups! Made sure the my dogs had everything they need and gave them lots of love. While on vacation we received lots of photos. We are happy that we found someone who cares and loves our dogs just as much as us. Jennifer is someone you can trust!”
“Azaria was awesome! She was really prompt with responses, very respectful of our place, and very flexible with our schedule. Definitely will be booking her to sit Cody again!”
“Mario did a really nice job caring for my little cattle dog Lucy while house sitting for me! He was communicative, kind, caring, and followed the instructions I left for my dog and my house. I’ve moved into this area recently and have not been able to find a reliable pet sitter to stay in my home when I am away for work- until now :) I will definitely reach out to Mario again as my top choice. Thank you again!”
“Morgan was amazing! She was very tentative to our pups and their needs. She kept us updated and sent pictures of our fur babies the whole time! Communication was great! We will definitely book again!”
“Did amazing overnight coverage of my pups. He was attentive and absolutely made sure he gave them all the attention that they needed. One of my pups had a medical issue and Brandon took him to the vet without hesitation. He clearly has a connection with pups and does anything he can to care for them to the best of his abilities. My pups thoroughly enjoyed their time with him”
“Mariola was absolutely wonderful! We were new to Rover and in the past, only entrusted our family to watch our pets and home while traveling. As we did not have that option this time, we stumbled across this app and found Mariola. She was very kind and accommodating of our requests. Mariola met with us multiple times prior to our decision, to ensure we were comfortable and trusted her to take care of our three dogs while staying in our home for the week. She communicated with us daily and sent photos of our pups, as well as honored all of our requests such as taking the dogs for daily walks, letting them out to the yard as needed, playing with them, providing the dogs with breakfast and dinner while following their special dietary needs, and taking excellent care of our home. We are very pleased with Mariola and will undoubtedly use her services in the future. 11/10! 😊”
“Ace house sat for me for 4 days and was absolutely wonderful with my two pups! they kept me updated on their visit schedule, was responsive and easy to communicate with, sent plenty of pictures and updates, and definitely made me feel comfortable leaving my pups and house in their care while i was away! i will definitely be booking with Ace again soon! 😊”
“Carly was great with our dog Max. He kept us updated and shared pictures. I definitely recommend!”
“Hannah was an amazing sitter for our pup! From the moment we requested a meet and greet with her, she was very prompt and professional. She was flexible with our schedule and our dog's needs as well. She's also a great photographer and communicator. Both my boyfriend and I noticed a significant difference in the quality of care Hannah provided compared to other sitters we've had. Our house was spotless when we returned, and we felt very comfortable and safe having her stay with our dog in our home for a week. She's truly an exceptional sitter, and we will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
“I have the cutest little fear aggressive rescue who really only wants to be with us….so it’s hard to find people who will watch her. Sandra had this little fearful girl lying on the couch with her in less than 24 hours. She kept us up to date on how she was doing our entire trip. It was such a relief to find Sandra. We never worried about Mila or anything at home while Sandra was there.”
“Sierra just watched two of our dogs for 5 days while we were on vacation. She did amazing with them. Sierra came and did a meet and greet before our trip and while we were gone made sure to double check locked doors. It’s the little things to us and she did great. Going to be using again forsure.”
