Savannitty is absolutely wonderful. She visited several times before our trip to make sure Skye knew her and was comfortable with her. She took excellent care of her and our home and sent us updates and photos regularly. We have already booked another pet sitting with her.

Brittany was great! She was very patient with my pup when she arrived to find him being home protective and shared lots of statuses via text which was great as well as some photos.

Our first time using Meric but won’t be the last! He came to stay at ours because our poochie is high maintenance. He has five meds a day but that didn’t phase Meric ☺️ We returned home to a happy, waggy tail, and a home that looked like we never left. Thank you so much!

We had an outstanding experience with Victoria! She took exceptional care of our two dogs, ensuring they were happy and well-attended to. Her responsiveness and frequent updates, complete with lots of pictures, kept us reassured throughout the day. She showered them with love and attention, took them on long walks, and even brought them to the dog park. Our dogs had an incredibly fun and fulfilling day with her. Highly recommended!

I have a French bulldog puppy who suffers from separation anxiety which makes going away a little hard for me. I went through three sitters in the past, none of whom understood how to deal with him properly. We then met Mary and I cannot tell you the relief I have felt since! She was so attentive with Frank, completely understood the time and space he needed to warm up and sent me hourly updates on how he was doing along with pictures and videos. I could tell from the get go that he was much more comfortable with Mary in his space than any other sitters I have had in the past. By the end of the stay he was on the couch with Mary, snuggling and sitting on her lap, something he would usually only let myself or my boyfriend do. This just goes to show how completely comfortable he felt with Mary. If you’re looking for a sitter who genuinely understands dogs and their individual needs Mary is the one. She goes above and beyond with not only watching your dog but providing them with so much love and care. I felt completely at ease being away and could actually enjoy myself knowing that my fur child was having the best time with Mary. I feel she will need to visit us in future as Frankie has for sure found his second mom! Thanks Mary, Frank and I are so grateful to have found you.

I was VERY anxious about leaving our little french bulldog 9m old puppy alone for a week and a half of vacation - Shanique truly put me at ease. She is incredibly kind, very thoughtful, and importantly, Pepe seemed immediately comfortable with her. And boy does she have patience because our little guy is a ball of nonstop energy and has plenty of behavioral quirks :). We will definitely ask Shanique to come back to watch Pepe for future trips!!

Morgan helped me out in a pinch. The furbaby sitter I originally hired to watch my 2 Yorkies, for a long weekend, had a family emergency and had to cancel my reservation that was made 2 weeks prior. I was in a bind. I contacted Rover and explained my dilemma. Rover sent out over 10 inquiries to 10 furbaby sitters. All were busy or could not do it with such short notice or other reasons all except Morgan. Totally understandable. I was prepared to cancel my plans until Morgan got back to me. She was gladky willing to take my request. We scheduled a meet and greet. I was so impressed with her that I hired her right away. Morgan is amazing. She treated my furbabies as her own. She gave them plenty of exercise, attention, cuddles, playtime, and kept the lines of communication going via text. I received many wonderful pictures of my furbabies out on their walks, during their playtime, and just chillin.' I was truly blown away by the wonderful care she demonstrated to my furbabies. She is more than I could have wished for in a caregiver. She went over and above and I couldn't be happier. I would not hesitate to hire her to watch my furbabies again. Thank You Morgan - You're The Best

I could not recommend Jess enough! She was given a pretty challenging task (our 4 month old puppy ?) and she truly went above and beyond to care for our pup Evie and also implement things we’ve been training her! She sent so many pictures and gave lots of updated which put me at such ease. She also left our apartment extremely clean and organized after her visit - even washing the items she used which was so not needed!! It truly felt like i had a close friend staying with Evie and we’ve already rebooked her for our next trip ?

Nia has done an amazing job with my cat and my reactive dog! Usually I am nervous about someone other than me walking my dog because of how unpredictable he can be, but I was not worried at all with Nia given her experience. She also sent lots of photos, which was very appreciated and I could tell my pets were having a lot of fun and keeping active with her!

Julia did a fabulous job watching my 3 dogs - wow! I got daily updates and photos, my apartment was spotless when I got home, and she was incredibly flexible and helpful when my travel plans changed.

As soon as I met Victoria during the meet and greet, I knew my cat, Harry, was in expert hands. Victoria is communicative, professional, kind, and above all caring. I got updates with photos and videos multiple times a day, and she even got Harry a little toy to play with. She tidied up my apartment, changed the sheets, and took out the trash before my return. Victoria takes such pride in her work and has a passion for animal care. I was stress free for my week long trip knowing Harry was in her care. I will definitely be booking again. Thanks for everything Victoria!!!!

Jordyn did a great job taking care of my 3 dogs over the past weekend, one of whom was super high energy and not easy to handle. She left our place spotless and listened to all of my (overly) detailed instructions, and communicated thoroughly and promptly. We are excited to have her care for our dogs again! TY Jordyn :)

Maddie was incredible with Vespa, my 3 year old foster dog! Maddie was incredibly sweet and caring with Vespa, and Vespa felt so comfortable with her that she curled up next to her, which she never does with new people. Maddie was excellent with communication ahead of the dog sitting and during, and I really appreciated the updates about how she was doing. 14/10 would recommend and would have over again!!
