June was incredibly patient and loving towards my dog, Nova! Nova takes some time to warm up and trust new people, and June took the time to work with him and make sure he felt comfortable with her. I would happily have her watch Nova again!

Mike was super great! He sent lots of pictures and was very easy to work with. He even (totally unnecessary) cleaned my apartment before he left. He was very nice, and Wyatt was in excellent shape when I got back! Will 100% recommend and definitely will book again in the future! He also took the booking on short notice and over a holiday weekend. Can't recommend enough!

Meric stayed at our place and looked after our dog, Bowie for 2.5 days. He took her out for frequent walks and sent us a variety of pictures and updates. He was able to come early on arrival and stay late on the last day as I had a late flight returning home. He kept our home very tidy and our dog seemed happy when I returned home. He was very responsible, responsive on text message and flexible. I would recommend Meric and would not hesitate to use him again.

My original pet sitter canceled on me and I’m so glad she did! Because of that, I got to work with Heather, who was so kind, communicative and professional. This was my first experience using Rover and Heather made me feel really secure about leaving Teddy at home while I traveled for work. I know he was so much happier with her than he would have been in a boarding situation. I hope to work with Heather again in the future.

Edgar came to the rescue when I needed a last minute sitter for my cat Papers. Edgar is a clear animal lover and took the time to understand Papers’ unique personality and needs, as well as provided daily updates with photos which was incredibly assuring. I cannot recommend Edgar’s services enough and will definitely be reaching out next time I have pet sitting needs!

Nia is very professional and sent status updates on how my fur baby was doing. Having someone in your home can be nerve racking, but Nia’s sweet demeanor put me completely at ease. My Stormy loves her and gets so excited to see her. She followed my directions and I am so happy to have found her.

I can't recommend Ciera enough for anyone in need of a fantastic pet sitter and dog walker! She's been taking care of my cat and bunny whenever I'm away, and I couldn't be happier with the love and attention she showers on them. Ciera isn't just your average pet sitter; she's a true animal lover with a genuine passion for what she does. Every time she comes over, my pets are greeted with smiles, belly rubs, and the kind of care that puts their well-being front and center. It's evident that she not only understands the responsibilities of the job but also genuinely enjoys spending time with furry friends. Her attention to detail is remarkable – from making sure my cat's favorite toys are nearby to following specific feeding instructions for my bunny. It's clear that she takes the time to understand each pet's unique personality and needs. What sets Ciera apart is her reliability and trustworthiness. I can leave for a trip with complete peace of mind, knowing that my pets are in capable and caring hands. She takes the time to create a bond with animals and that care goes beyond the basics. If you're looking for someone who will treat your pets like family, Ciera is the perfect choice. I'm grateful to have her as my go-to pet sitter, and I'm sure you'll be just as thrilled with her services as I am!

Alexis is such a stellar sitter. I’m grateful that someone as empathetic as her is about to take care of my old cat boy. Despite needing ridiculous amounts of medication, Alexis is always excited to see him and I know he’s in great hands when he’s with her. She’s the best pet sitter I’ve ever had!

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. I’m about to book her for all my upcoming work travel and look forward to having her stay with my dogs again.

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!!

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 ?
