Gabby was so sweet to our pup and very communicative! The week prior our girl got pretty sick with some tummy issues and Gabby followed our instructions to the letter. Will definitely have her back!

Maria is absolutely fantastic with dogs (who all seem to immediately fall in love with her!). Full of empathy, she gets the biggest tail wags and cuddles, and treats every dog like her own. I have seen Maria look after, play with and make all shapes and sizes of dogs super comfortable, from labradaors, pitbulls and beagles to schnauzers , australian shepherds and chihuahuas - they love her, she loves them, and I couldn't think of a better temporary dog mom!

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!!

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!

Danielle went above and beyond while watching our dog for two weeks. She gave daily updates with pictures, took her on long walks, and even bathed her after a run in with some mud. We will definitely be using her again!

We came home to a very happy cat and a tidy home! I would highly recommend Volkan for house sitting. Our cat Luna warmed up to Volkan quickly and we really appreciated that he works from home and spent so much time with her.

Ella is the best! My dog loves her so much that I’ve had her dog sit for me multiple times. I am so glad I’ve found someone so great to spend time with my pup while I’m away.

We absolutely love Michael!!! The first time we met him he was on time and very respectful. We had told him that our poodle Freya has chronic stomach issues and we left for the weekend. When we came back he informed us that the brand of dog food we use was full of a ton of harmful stuff for dogs and we switched the kibble and now she is loving life stomach issue free can’t thank him enough!!!

Allison took great care of my dog and kept me in the loop on how things were going so that I was completely at ease and able to enjoy my time away. She also sent great pictures of their adventures in South Boston! I came home to a happy dog, clean apartment - and she even set my clocks back for Daylight Savings! I would definitely hire Allison for future needs.

Dominique is the find of the century: she was incredible with our super energetic five year old dog, who clearly fell in love with her. Dominique gave Trufa her daily medications while dog sitting for us, walked her on new and fun routes everyday, and sent us amazing videos and pictures daily. Dominique left our house immaculate (which we did not ask her to do!) and was incredibly responsible with every element of house sitting. She’s super communicative and I could not recommend her more. Cherry on top: our dog can be a little stand offish with other dogs and when we got back I had multiple dog park friends reach out to say they had seen our dog playing with other dogs at the park and having a ton of fun/being super well behaved. To the point where they had to ask if it was her. Basically I think Dominque literally enabled our dog to be her best self and she was clearly super happy with Dominique the whole time! Can’t thank her enough

Nolan is an incredible person as well as dogsitter. I’ve been friends with Nolan for years and have let him take care of my two dogs, Thunder and Storm, on numerous occasions. At the time, Thunder was old, slow-paced, and needed his special attention to help him do regular things. Storm, on the other hand was a young, tiring, ball of energy who needed constant attention as well. Nolan handled these two guys fantastically and goes to show how great he is with dogs, no matter the age or dog! I strongly recommend Nolan.
