2. Kimberly B.
“Kim was wonderful with our kitty Sofia! Sofia met her every time at the door and was so happy to see her. Sofia ate very well and was very well taken care of by Kim. I would highly recommend Kim to drop in and spend time with your kitty ❤️❤️”
3. Emma M.
“Emma is the BEST! She was available extremely last minute when my husband and I had to go out of town for a family emergency. She still found time in her day to make sure she did a meet and greet to meet our babies before we left. The whole time we were away she was sending us pictures and staying in communication with us so we knew our fur babies were in good hands. Leaving your pets while traveling can be stressful but Emma truly made sure we had nothing to worry about! We have a newly diagnosed diabetic cat and she made sure he got his insulin twice a day. Your pets are in great hands with Emma, and I cannot recommend her enough!”

5. viktoryia s.
“Viktoryia and her daughter are the best dog sitters ever! They watched my dog numerous times for several nights at a time, and took excellent care of him. He was always so excited to go to their house, which made it easier to leave him. They are very communicative and responsive and will send photo updates. They cared for my dog like their own. You could tell they really cared for and loved him. I highly recommend!!”
6. Kathy S.
“Kathy is absolutely the best kitty mommy I have ever seen. She loves her four cats so much and takes such good care of them every day. She treats pets as an integral part of the family as I’m sure many pet owners do. I would highly recommend Kathy to take care of anybody’s pets, she is extremely reliable, conscientious, and will know what to do in any situation.”

“Monica and her house are the perfect setup to watch your dog! Her house has a friendly dog and a large and secure yard for them to play in together. Monica is also a great communicator and its extremely apparent that she loves animals and will go to great lengths to make your pet feel at home. I can't recommend her enough!”
12. Michelle M.
“Your pets might love Michelle more than you ;) Michelle has a genuine love for animals and is a great communicator, reliable, and full of heart. I'd highly recommend entrusting your love ones to her, she will take care of them as if they are her own.”
13. Helen W.
“Helen is a true dog lover. She is able to work with all sizes of dogs. She has worked with a trainer and has a very good understanding of animal behavior and how to work with difficult behaviors. Helen taught me that the dog walk is not just bonding/training time between dog and walker but also an exciting sensory experience that is very important in very dog’s day. She is very dependable no matter what the weather is like. If the dog will go out she will too! She will be an excellent addition to Rover.”
14. Shannon G.
“Shannon was awesome taking care of our sweet boy! Very communicative and you can see her genuine love for animals. Will definitely be using her again!”
15. Ashley N.
“Ashley is very calm, which is really important with a bulldog because you don't want them to get overheated. I could tell my dog liked her because she was very calm when I came home. All of this is very important to me! I would definitely recommend Ashley!”
16. Abbie H.
About: Hi, I'm Abbie! I have had pets in my house basically my entire life. My dog growing up was my best friend and I loved spending time with her whenever I could. She passed away at 13 years old so I have experience with dogs starting from puppy age to senior age. Since her passing, I have been looking to scratch my pet itch! I love playing with, walking, grooming, and cuddling with dogs of all breeds and sizes! I always feel bad when I see a dog trapped inside a house all day, so if I can help them by walking or playing, I would love to see them as happy as they can be! I currently work full time from 8am to 5pm M-F but am available before or after work as well as open availability on the weekends! I live in a spacious one bed, one bath condo in a gated community. I know of many walking paths as well as dog parks within the community and short drives away!
17. Nadya H.
“Our family has known Nadya since she was a young girl. She grew up in our neighborhood and was a good friend of our oldest daughter. She has always had a love of animals, which included her family dog Travis. She even worked at the local Humane Society for a short time. We hired her several times over the years to watch our pets when we were on vacation. At that time, she was responsible for 1 dog, 1 cat and 3 guinea pigs. Our favorite memory is when she sent us a video of our dog opening up her wrapped treat on Christmas morning, while we visited family in Florida. It was hard to say goodbye to Nadya when she moved to a different state. Rest assured, your furry friend(s) will be in very capable hands with Nadya.”
18. Kira M.
“No complaints! Thank you, Kira!”
19. Cristine B.
“As always, Cristine is the best sitter in the whole world. My phone was messed up and we had some communication issues but she is so awesome that she knew exactly what I needed. George and Khan were so happy to have their girl for the day.”
20. Mindee M.
“Mindee was an amazing visitor for our 3 month old puppy. We really appreciated your calm, kind, honest and respectful demeanor. You can tell she has an obvious love for our furry friends. Will definitely be using her services again.”
