Iain was a wonderful pet sitter for our two dogs and cat. They were very friendly and easy to communicate with when setting up a meet & greet. They made sure our pets and our apartment were well taken care of while we were away — they were respectful of our care instructions and cleaned up before they left. I would 100% recommend Iain as a pet sitter and will definitely be a returning client!

Sevtap is the perfect dog-sitter. Our two pugs are shy with new people and VERY attached to us. When we arrived home after Sevtap’s stay with them, they tried to prevent her from leaving! That’s about as gold-star a review as a dog owner can hope for. It is so wonderful to come home to really happy dogs. Plus the house is immaculate — looks better than we left it! Amazing dog sitter. Just amazing.

Emma was fantastic. I have a dog and a cat with VERY different personalities and she went above and beyond with both. She took our dog on long walks and was so great with both of them. She followed every instruction and sent us LOADS of pictures and updates making us feel so comfortable on vacation. Without a doubt using her moving forward!

Gabby was great with our large (80+lbs), energetic Boxer. She stayed almost a week, and we came home to a happy, tired dog, and a clean apartment. Gabby was professional, communicative, and respectful; she did a great job caring for both our pup and home!

We had a great experience with Megan dog sitting in our home. She came over for a meet and greet before the stay and navigated a logistically complicated situation where we had to split the stay between two sitters. Our pup Brodie took to Megan right away. She was able to administer medication to Brodie and sent us wonderful updates all weekend. She even went above and beyond to wash and fold our bedsheets! We’d love to have Megan back to watch Brodie.

Stiles was great to work with and took excellent care of our golden retriever. He had no problem giving medication or with our dogs reactivity. He went the extra mile and pulled out the kiddie pool for our pup to play in and went on plenty of walks and out door time. Stiles sent photos and updates and when we returned everything was put away and the house neat and tidy.

Paul did a great job caring for my dog and communicating while I was out of town. Having a large dog finding proper care has always been a concern, but with Paul there was no reason to worry! He provided regular updates, was responsive at all times of the booking, and took great care of my dog. 10/10!

Kyra was incredible! She was reliable and provided consistent updates/pictures throughout the night. This was our first time using Rover, and Kyra provided a seamless experience. We are looking forward to booking with her again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter that will care and even brush your fur baby!!

Pranida is the absolute best and she exceeded all of my expectations!!! She stayed at my apartment and watched my cat for 1 week and sent several daily updates with plenty of pictures. She even gifted me a beautiful drawing of myself and my cat! You can tell that she is a true animal lover and a super sweet and trustworthy human. I arrived home to a clean apartment and super happy animal. I highly recommend her and hope to use her for pet sitting in the future. Pranida is the best!
