“Tabitha was amazing. Marley loved her and was delighted after the walk because he got into a playful frenzy. Thanks, Tabitha! I think you are a dog whisperer.”

“Fantastic. Jahborne was timely, professional, patient, courteous and friendly. He handled two different adult, big breed dogs (a female pit and a male lab) effortlessly. No incidents, no miscommunication. Book him, both my dogs were happier upon return!”
3. Shannon D.
“Shannon has been great with Ellie so far. She’s done a really good job getting Ellie to warm up to her and allows her to go at her own pace. Shannon is an excellent communicator and has been flexible scheduling around vacations and me working from home. She has a great background with pets and makes a fine dog walker.”
4. Tara B.
“Tara was amazing! She stopped by our house twice a day to look after our dog and we got such detailed feedback after every walk. We also got awesome photos. She went above and beyond to set him up with his puzzle toy with treats and gave him lots of love. You can tell she really loves dogs! We’ve used rover many times and this has by far been our best experience. We’ll definitely be using Tara’s services again!”

12. Pj H.
“PJ is one of the most loving people I have ever met and she cares for every pet as if they are her own! She is completely thorough with following every instruction I gave her and my pup Azul is happier than ever! She even plays with my cat Astro and he isn’t playful with just anyone. From making sure Azul is walked and played with, to just being there to give her love and affection, she truly cares for Azul as if she were me. I completely trust her with my babies. I can’t thank her enough for all the help for when I can’t be home with my babies. 1000000/10 would recommend to EVERYONE!”

About: Firstly I’d like to add I don’t have any cats but two dogs (though I am good with cats) I’m a huge dog lover. Sizes don’t matter big or small I love them all so if you have any dogs that need love and attention while your away please consider me as the one to take care of you fluffy baby. I’m good with dogs that have lots of energy and are ready to play! However if you have a down to earth dog that just needs rubs and love (and food of course) then that just fine with me I’m here to make sure your dog is happy and healthy while your away. I’m also able to watch more then one dog my limit is four but I’m willing to go above. I’m also great with cats too so there’s no limit for me. I do work at a doggy daycare which means I’d work about 7 hours hopefully that will work when the time comes to watch your fur baby I have had about five years of experience with dogs and cats as well on well on what to look at for as far as safety and will always be aware of what to look out for when it come to watching your dog
16. Dung H.
“If you want someone who is compassionate, conscientious and trustworthy, then Dung is perfect for your pet sitting needs. We have 3 kitties that we consider our kids just like our human one and we wouldn’t just trust our cats care to anyone. Dung is so sweet with our babies and highly compassionate when it comes to their care. She is also very reliable and always sends us updates and pics on how they are all doing. We are very lucky to have found her and you and your fur babies will be too!”
17. Jemilatu S.
“Jemilatu is an amazing pet caregiver! She took such great care of my dog, who absolutely adores her now. Her love and attentiveness are unmatched!”
18. Susan M.
“Susan loves animals, and I highly recommend her to take care of your pet. She has experience caring for, and training dogs with special needs. In the past, Susan has cared for a wide variety of animals as personal pets, and animals in nature centers. She has experience caring for and training dogs who suffer from fear, anxiety, and leash reactivity. When we adopted an adult dog, Susan met with us and helped us introduce our family elder dog with our newly adopted dog. Susan has also worked and volunteered at nature centers and aquariums where she has gained experience providing environmental enrichment for turtles, snakes, amphibians, birds of prey, pelicans, and Bottlenose dolphins.”
19. Kevin M.
“Kevin takes the best care of my pets (dog and cat). They can be a handful, and Kevin is always patient and happy to care for them. I receive lots of updates of cuddles and walkies, and the occasional clean-ups when accidents happen. I trust Kevin with my pets as if they were his own, and I know he cares about any furry friend he encounters.”
20. Kellene H.
About: I have years of experience caring for my own pets and the pets of others, including all ages of cats and dogs needing medicine administered. I'll be sure to give your four legged fur babies special attention while you're at work or traveling. I have routinely administered insulin for a diabetic cat, frequently walk dogs, make trips to the dog park, and love senior pets and puppies/kittens alike. If there's any specifics that pertain to your pet, I'm happy to chat and discuss the care that they may need while you're away. I also have a flexible schedule, if multiple visits are needed in the same day. Please reach out to me if I can be of help to you and your beloved pets. Wag more, bark less! I have plenty of time available in my schedule to help with pet care, including weekends and Mondays. On other days of the week, I have a flexible schedule that allows for me to offer care in the mornings and early afternoons. I’m very familiar with the care that dogs and cats need, and will tailor their care and play based on your instructions. Whether your dog enjoys playing fetch, or whether you’re crate training, you can count on me to offer the same care you would give your own fur baby.
