“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog walker and sitter! Jenny did drop-in visits for our dogs while we were out of town, and we had complete peace of mind the entire time. She is incredibly reliable and trustworthy, and it was clear from the start how much she genuinely cares about animals. She made sure our dogs were well fed, kept their water bowls full, and took them on twice-daily walks. Most importantly, she made sure they weren’t lonely. She even squeezed in extra visits in her busy schedule just to give them more company and attention, which meant so much to us. She is also fantastic with communication. She sent us updates and pictures multiple times a day while we were gone. Our dogs absolutely loved her and always looked forward to seeing her. They would wait excitedly for her visits! It was obvious they felt comfortable and happy in her care. We came home to happy, relaxed, and well-cared-for pups. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable, compassionate, and truly dedicated to caring for their pets.”

“If you need assistance with your animal, Heaven is an awesome choice. My dog actually miss her when he thinks she should be there to take him for his walk. I believe it is wonderful the way she bonds with her human and animal clientele.”

“Most of the Rover sitters have been great, but we were starting to run into scheduling and response-time problems with the 20-somethings. I decided to try Patricia (started out by walking both our dogs) and she is the mature and responsible dog sitter/walker we've been looking for. We plan to have Patricia do some house sitting for us soon when we can take some badly-needed time away from our business.”

“My dog just keeps getting better. I say that every week but it's true. She is much more attentive and walks next to me with a loose leash and as much less reactive to other dogs.”

“Adrienne is awesome! She genuinely cares for your dog as if it’s her own. I have been using her for the last month and will continue to do so! Thanks for everything:)”

“My Frenchie looks forward to walks with Rose! She heads to the door with excitement! Rose communicates well, and I know my Frenchie is in good hands. ❤️”

About: I've been caring for all kinds of pets, from dogs and cats to reptiles and Macaws. I've also volunteered at bird reacues and animal shelters in both New Mexico and Iowa. I have experience in animal training and Im currently an at home student at CNM so I have plenty of time to entertain and care for your pet. I enjoy making pet care a full time part of my life. I have a large fenced in back yard perfect for safe running and playing. It's got a nice spacious grass lawn with pet safe plants. The inside is pet safe and proof for your animals safety.

About: I grew up with dogs (mostly German shepherds with the golden retriever or terrier thrown in there). My husband is not a dog person, but I love them so I'm hoping to be able to get my dog fix by helping people who find themselves away from their fur babies for extended periods. I will play with and love on your dog while they enjoy the comfort of being in a familiar environment. I will give your dog the same level of care that I would expect for my own child. My kids are getting more independent, leaving me with lots of time during the day to play with your pups! I am an avid runner and would love to give your fur babies lots of love and exercise. I am comfortable following the instructions you leave to the letter. I am calm and friendly, letting animals decide how they feel about me in their own time. One of my highest goals is to build trust with your dog and you.

“Max is nice and professional. My dogs like him a lot.”

“Delena is great with Koda and Colson. They had an instant connection. She puts on their leash and is off on their walk. They already know that she is there to take them out. Will continue to work with her.”

About: Hi there, my name is Mercedes. I've had family dogs for my whole life and absolutely can't get enough of them - I've had experience with multiple breeds and sizes as well as ages. I love being around puppies, older dogs, and any age in between! I work full time and try to be as open/flexible as possible and keep my calendar updated. I can work around your schedule so send me a message to work out the details! I’ve had such a great experience on Rover and really love all the dogs I’ve gotten to look after so far. Please let me know about your dogs exercise needs and how to best care for them! I currently have a cat who is not the biggest fan of dogs, so it’s fun to care for dogs on Rover when they’re parents are at work or out of town :) I currently work full time, but I work fully remote so I am flexible around your pets routine. Please let me know details when you book! I do not offer services in my own home, but will follow all of your home rules when it comes to safety and boarding. Please let me know details when you book.

“We were so nervous as our dog watching plans fell through. I hopped on rover and was quickly put at ease by Elena. The most amazing experience ever. Far exceeded our expectations for taking care of our fur baby. Winston, my dog, fell in love. Amazing communication and super accommodating. Elena sent several pictures every visit that showed our doggy was happy every walk she took him on. She gave him food and water twice a day every day and took him on wonderful adventures. Very prompt responses and updates on our puppy made us so glad we chose Elena. Her messages every visit made us smile and put us at ease. I can't stress enough how wonderful she is. Stop looking and book her now! I have found our forever puppy sitter. Thanks again Elena.”

“Coda absolutely adores Jennifer. I saw it first hand when I was home due to an illness and she came to walk Coda when I am usually in class. It was heartwarming to see.”

“Laura did great with our very shy and nervous dog. They explored the neighborhood and our dog was still in a great mood when we got home later.”
