“James is so caring and super responsive. I trust that he'll look after my dog and treat my dog like his own. He pays attention to details and is playful with my pup!”
“My pooch and I are repeat customers and we love Jack! He has been excellent with Neo and accommodating our wacky schedule. Definitely recommend using his services.”
“I so appreciated Connie’s help this week. She’s super sweet, responsive and flexible. I was able to be at work and do all the other things my schedule demands and know that our German Shepherd, Cali, was getting love and exercise. Thank you!!”
“David did a great job with our dog and house. His prices were fair. His communications were timely. He was kind, respectful and professional. We're planning on using him again for the next dog walking job.”
“Dominique was a fantastic sitter and responded quickly to my request on short notice. My dog warmed up to her immediately so I felt very comfortable leaving him in her care. My fur baby had the runs and she communicated often and was very understanding. I would definitely refer her and book Dominique again.”
“Maureen was impeccable, as always. She walked Bruiser, fed her according to my painfully detailed instructions, and gave her eye drops and pill medication. I was out of town for a week and needed Maureen to help out - when I came home it was like my dog didn't even notice I had left because Maureen made her feel so at home and cared for.”
“Lauren was a pleasure to work with and having her help was greatly appreciated and our pups enjoyed her visiting ! She's very responsive and takes in feedback very well! I would recommend her to others.”
“Erika had to be the best dog walker I’ve ever had. I would honestly, never want to use anyone else. I had a trip out of town that ended up having multiple flight delays and cancellations. I ended up having to extend the care last minute — she graciously worked with me on a moments notice. She was very polite and charismatic at meet and greet, took phenomenal care of Athena, was constantly quick to respond, kept me updated, sent photos, had full flexibility. She also helped work through any logistic issues efficiently and empathetically. My electronic lock to front door broke due to battery and she was at leasing office first thing, handling the situation for me. She made sure it was fixed and reassured me through my travels. She took my trash out. Left a thank you card. From start to finish she went above and beyond. It honestly felt like she treated my dog and home as her own, which is rare to find in sitters. Tremendous dog care provider. Would highly, highly recommend.”
“Chrissy was great with my pup. She's an energetic 7 month old lab, and she did great with Chrissy. Thank you! Fast communication, reliable, on-time. We'll be using Chrissy again!”
“First would like to say great app it was my first time ever using an application like this. Second, Jennifer was great with zoro as a new puppy he is a handful, but Jennifer was able to walk and play with zoro. She was even able to clean his mess and provide water for zoro.”
“Thanks for taking such great care of the fur babies, paying attention to details with meticulous care, and for giving lots of love and cuddles to the crew!”
“Kim is so great with our Parker! She’s very reliable, takes him on good walks to get him some exercise, and cares so much for him. She also always takes very nice pictures!”
About: With dogs in my home since before I can remember, I've got what it takes to care for your puppers whether they are seniors or puppies. I have experience with caring for dogs after medical procedures, with bladder issues, different energy needs, different anxiety levels, and of different sizes. Need a walk, food, refilling water, playing, ear scratches? I'm there. And don't worry, I was sending lots of pictures before Rover cards, so rest assured that you'll get to see your precious pup while you're away. I have a remote job with a flexible schedule, which allows me to be flexible to take care of your pet whenever you need! Morning, afternoon, evening, you name it and I'll be there. I have always had at least one pet at home with different preferences in how they like to be loved. Even so, my experience has shown me that no matter the pet, patience, kindness, affection, and quality time equate to a happy fur baby and that is what your pet will get from me. I believe that going beyond any beloved pet’s basic needs is the bare minimum. Even during short 30-min or 1-hr check-ins with your pet, I will cram in as much as I can to ensure they are happy and content including grooming, cleaning, playing, photography for parents, and more. My genuine love for furry friends will ensure an excellent experience for your cat or dog

Ellie is a very patient kind and attentive dog caretaker. She’s very careful to take note of all of the guidance and requests. We are very happy to have her take care of our dog. Thank you Ellie!

Just rebooked Luke for another week for dog walking. He came with his Golden Retriver and everything was great
Emily was great. It was apparent from the pup pictures she sent that our two hounds really warmed up to her. No doubt that we’ll be calling on Emily for future dog walks. Thanks a bunch!
Aryana is the best dog walker ever! My dog, Georgie, absolutely adores her and always comes back with a smile on his face. Aryana was also able to help me out when I was in a bind with work and is all around a very lovely person. I feel at ease in knowing my dog is Aryana’s hands — she is punctual, trustworthy, and reliable.
Dan was very kind wonderful listener who did everything I asked of him. He was punctual and respectful. I felt very safe and at ease leaving my two high demand knuckleheads with him.
