Michael went above and beyond for our senior dog Coco. She can make quite a few messes, but we came home to a pristine apartment. He's very communicative and sent us lots of pictures while we were away.

Meric has been a fantastic addition to our fur baby's life! He is wonderful with our golden retriever "Milo" and he has been available for home sitting as well as walks. When he stays, he leaves our apartment spotless & sends us pictures of his and Milo's adventures. Would highly recommend. Thanks Meric for being so great with Milo!

Myranda was great loving and caring for my dog. He was a bit sick while I was away and she took great care of him, was even able to stop by the vet to pick up and administer meds. She was always very responsive and communicative.

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.

Alia was a great overnight sitter for our two dogs (35lbs and 60lbs). She was able to handle them in a pretty dog-packed apartment building and on walks. Both of them enjoyed having her over and warmed up to her quickly.

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.

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!

Rudy and us agree, that Anne Marie was an excellent caretaker. We humans were able to take a few days away in complete confidence. Anne Marie's cat care came at a time when Rudy was just getting over an illness that required medication, observation and compassion. This was not in our original agreement, and Anne Marie rose to the occasion. We highly recommend Anne Marie for her competency and care. We would not hesitate to call on her again to care for Rudy.

Edgar was an absolute joy to work with. Attentive, personable, and reliable from start to finish. I felt completely safe leaving my two cats in his care for the week (one is sick and requires meds) and would book again in a heartbeat. Thanks again, Edgar!
