“Elly has been the best! She does recurring weekly walks for my pup, Winston. Always on time, leaves updates and lots of pictures. My pup is not the most active/doesn’t always want to walk but she always makes sure he gets out to pee even when he is being stubborn. Going back into the office has been a breeze due to Elly - thank you!!!”
“Lee was absolutely amazing with our dogs while we were away! I have a lot of anxiety leaving them because of past bad experiences with other sitters, but Lee completely changed that. He treated them with so much love and care, and I could tell they felt safe and happy with him. We came home to relaxed, happy pups—which says everything. We love Lee and wouldn’t hesitate to book him again. There’s a reason he has 5 stars!”
“Erin was phenomenal! She was available last minute which was a lifesaver. She was absolutely wonderful with my dog and gave a very detailed report which helped ease my anxiety.”
“Grace was wonderful! She walked the herd (2 dogs, one 145lbs, the other 94lbs) for 1 hr each day! My dogs are not easy to walk, but Grace was up for the challenge. She is punctual and kind. We will hire her again (if she is willing to come back ;) )”
“Our Ollie absolutely loves Daniel! From the moment he walked in for the meet and greet they hit it off great! Daniel is very punctual, dependable and communicative. I absolutely trust him with my leash temperamental dog and looking forward to more lunch time adventures for them.”
“Iryna walked my two dogs for a week when I needed help in a pinch. My 10-year-old dog is very shy, and Iryna was patient with her and won her over—no small feat! She was also so kind to my new puppy, walking him and also playing with him in the house (it was very hot outside). Overall, Iryna went above and beyond for me and my dogs, and I appreciate her very much. Definitely recommend and will call her again!”
About: Back in my college days, I worked in a dog daycare with dogs of all breeds, ages and sizes. Before Rover, I mostly pet sat for my friends and family. In addition, I have 14 of experience caring for my own dogs. I understand the struggles that come with leaving your pet with a stranger so please rest assured that your fur baby will be well taken care of. I will always treat your fur baby with lots of love and kindness and adhere to your instructions to the best of my ability. I currently work a 9-5 at a hospital. I have the flexibility to work from home 3x a week. In addition, I am available most weekends and holidays. It is always helpful to have written instructions on how to care for your pet. For example, activities they enjoy most, things they absolutely hate, or undesirable behaviors to look for. Let me know their daily routines so I can do my best to make they feel like they’re with family and not just some stranger.
“I highly recommend Eva for their exceptional care of Django. Their genuine love for animals shines through, and Django always comes back happy. Grateful for their fantastic service!”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats in my life since I was 3 years old and love taking care of animals. I’ve taken care of family friends’ pets when they’ve gone out of town when I was in high school and college as well. I’m a nurse and I’m looking to hang out with some pets on my off days! My schedule varies from week to week, so one time bookings or a flexible schedule would be best for me! I won’t be boarding other pets because I have two cats of my own, but I can follow schedules required for your pet in your home and ensure their best safety.
“Dominique had great communication with me about our dog Lincoln. He’s got a positive and professional demeanor. Our dog is a big boy (125 lbs ) and Dominique handled him with ease. Lincoln instantly connected with Dominique, not something he always does with strangers. Dominique most definitely has a way with dogs. His interaction and care was as if Lincoln was his own pet. Dominique’s communication with me was great up to meeting and during the interaction with our boy. Very amicable person. I will use Dominque again.”
“Stacy, was great! I had her set up to walk my dog a few times a day while I was out of town. She took such good care of him and was super communicative. There were a few days were the weather way bad so she played inside with him and even cleaned my couch when he got mud on it!!! 5 star service! Will definitely be booking again”
“Keira was so great with Brownie! He enjoyed her walks with her! She made sure to take photos and gave updates after the walk. I would love for her to come back to care for Brownie again in the future.”
“My Pup and I LOVE Lilly, she’s professional, trustworthy kind and truly treats my pup like her own! I work long hours in the city and can always count on Lily whether it’s a scheduled walk or a spontaneous drop in or even a last minute “hey I need to work late can you help me out” ! Thank Lilly for being so great to both Paddy and I!!”
“I've used Elisa to walk my dog several times over the last 6 months, and she does an amazing job. She's always prompt, and takes wonderful care of my dog. My schedule can sometimes be hectic, but Elisa is always able to take care of him. She even asked if she could bring her own dog to play with mine (of course I said yes) one day, and they had a great time together. She always feeds him and makes sure he has fresh water. I will definitely continue to use her services in the future.”
“Mallory was absolutely wonderful with Howie! She took him on a great walk and made sure he got plenty of exercise and attention. Plus she took great photos! It’s clear Mallory truly cares about the dogs she walks. I’ll definitely be booking again! Thank you!”
