7. Andrea L.
“I don't usually write reviews, but I cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional care that Andrea has provided for my beloved pomeranian dogs, Nala and Maui. One of my dogs is older, so she requires a different level of care, and Andrea was incredibly attentive to this. Her personalized attention tailored to each dog's unique needs, was a great reassurance for me. Andrea made the process seamless and worry-free, giving us a sense of confidence in her service. From the moment we contacted her, she showed genuine interest in getting to know our dogs and their unique needs. She took the time to listen to our concerns and provide reassurance that both of them would be in the best possible hands. She went above and beyond to ensure their comfort and happiness throughout their time with her. She provided daily updates on their well-being, sent pictures of them playing with her dogs (which they got along with my dogs very quickly) and pictures during their walks, and even kept us informed of any changes in my older dogs' health. Her two dogs (Bennett and Abby) were amazing and friendly with my dogs, and they always played together. It was clear from the moment we picked up our dogs that they were happy, relaxed, and clearly well-cared for. I cannot thank Andrea enough for her exceptional care and compassion. I definitely recommend her and will surely be contacting her again.”
8. Vivian G.
“Peace of Mind. Vivian cared for my cat Gussie for 2 1/2 weeks. I received daily detailed updates and photos. Vivian provided plenty of care during a 30 to 40 minute visit that included feeding and watering, cleaning , affection, and playtime. Gussie seemed quite content and happy. I definitely would use Vivian’s service again. She is highly recommended. Thank you Vivian from me and my family.”
9. Kristal I.
“The BEST!!! Couldn't asked for more. My dog and Lazy cat love her. They run to the door to meet her. She is part of the family already. Kristal is patient, smart, outdoorsy. We definitely trust her with our furry babies. You will never regret hiring her.”
10. Sydney C.
“This was our first time using Rover and Sydney made it an absolutely wonderful experience. She’s extremely reliable, shares pictures and info on how the pups are doing. Both of my dogs were happy and well cared for! We hope to have Sydney take care of our pups again in the future!”
11. Emily H.
“Emily was able to watch my boys on very short notice and was nothing but lovely and friendly and amazing with them. Emily is quick to respond to messages and very detailed in her recounting of the visits. I know my pups are looking forward to seeing her, again!”
12. Colette M.
“Colette did an amazing job taking care of my cat! She provided daily photos and updates and was very attentive to my cat’s needs. Would definitely book with Colette again!”
13. Amiri T.
“Amiri did a great job with our pup over the holidays. He walked her with all of his check ins and sent regular photos and messages. He also made sure she didn't track in mud in the house when it was raining so much there winter days. Would happily book him again..”
14. Alice R.
“Thank you, Alice! This was a last minute hire for our cat post-surgery and needing antibiotics. Alice and family definitely brought the love for our cat and our house. Even though we were away for less than 24 hours, one of our fridges started to leak and she let us know immediately. In addition, she moved the appropriate may and laid down trowels for us. ABOVE AND BEYOND, FOR SURE!!!”
15. Anantachai S.
“Anantachai had great communication, took my dog to the dog park alot and was very attentive and caring. I can definitely tell that him and his boys treated my dog with lots of love and caring.”
16. Lindsey P.
“Lindsey LOVES dogs! When I first adopted my dog, Lindsey played a crucial role in helping her settle in. With her calm demeanor and generous supply of treats, she helped my shy shelter pup gain confidence and thrive. Lindsey is reliable and compassionate. I am so thankful for all that she taught me!”
17. Davina S.
“Davina is great with any pet! They know how to be super intuitive, patient and caring with animals. Davina is attentive to pets needs and has a genuine love and appreciation for all creatures! You definitely want her to watch and walk your dogs.”
18. Kaela F.
“Kaela did a few drop ins per week with my cat while I was out of town. Kaela is great! She is very communicative. She got in touch well before the visits were to begin to learn about our cat. Our cat is very shy, so Kaela didn’t see her much, though there was evidence she was in the house due to food being eaten and the litter box being used. Kaela always let us know when she was visiting and asked questions when she was concerned she couldn’t find the cat. Thanks so much, Kaela!”
19. Lisa T.
“Lisa was great and flexible so that she could make our schedule work well. We had a last minute need for someone to check in on our shy puppy. We were able to set up a meet and greet and Lisa was very patient dealing with our pup's shyness. She shared a few photos from a short visit and followed all of our requests. Thank you Lisa! We hope to work with you again”
20. Maxwell H.
“These words come to mind when I think about Max: Trustworthy. Generous. Caring. Kind. Gentle. Empathetic. Respectful. Upstanding. Intelligent. Insightful. A True Friend. I have known Max since they were about eight years old. Max has always been a compassionate and empathetic person, who wants only the best for others. They have so much kindness and give of it freely. When my son was young and Max was our neighbor, the two of them always played together. As the two grew up, I watched Max become such an instrumental part of my son’s life by supporting him and being so generous with their friendship while my son was facing some difficult times. Today they continue that friendship, and I am so grateful for Max’s intelligent and sound advice to my son. Every time Max comes to our house, they always want to see our cats and they're so gentle and kind to them. Their own pets absolutely adore Max, and it is clear to me that Max provides a safe and loving environment for their animals. I wholeheartedly endorse Max to care for the pets of others, knowing the person they are. I would absolutely trust Max to care for my pets and my home.”
