3. Molly F.
“Molly took amazing care of my puppy Chester! He absolutely adores her. Chester got a lot of playtime with her. He would come home tired (but content and very happy) from exercise. She also regularly checked in and sent pics. I would trust Molly with him in the future. She made my first time away from him less stressful because I knew he was in good hands. Thank you again :)”

7. Michele M.
“I am so happy to write a testimonial for Michele! Michele has been a good friend for over 20 years and I have personally observed her commitment to her own pet family. She has always been a dog lover and has had a dog for as long as I have known her. In more recent years she adopted two large breed dogs in to her home and made a loving home for both of them. Both dogs had some anxiety issues at the time of their adoption, and through the creation of a loving environment she has helped them overcome their anxiety. Michele has a great relationship with our large German Shepherd and our small Bichon mix, and really connects with both dogs. Michele is kind, organized and timely and would be a wonderful dog sitter. She love walking dogs and would give any dog a lot of exercise over a sitting. She is also familiar with caring for older dogs and could give medications. I give her the highest recommendation.”
8. Jade D.
“Jade did a fantastic job! Our dog is very anxious and doesn’t do well with traditional boarding. The meet and greet went better than I expected I was so reassured that my pup would be well taken care of while we were away!”

“Dominick is very loyal and trustworthy. He shows the same love to dogs as he shows to humans. You will have the total package hiring Dominick to dog sit for your favorite companion.”
10. Emma G.
“Emma stayed at our house with our pets while we were away. She had great communication and sent pictures. Our house was just as we had left it once we came home. This was my first time using Rover and we would book Emma again!”
11. Jaelyn R.
“Jaelyn was so good to my pups! She sent me some pictures and a report during the day. My mother in law was at my home too (but unable to help out with the dogs) and she told me how very sweet Jaelyn is and how good she was with my fur-babies! I wish there were 6 stars. When the day comes that I need River again, she will be a repeat for me.”

20. Raina J.
About: I have volunteered at the Animal Protective League for many summers, so I have lots of experience with cats/kittens, puppies, and dogs big and small. I have a sweet Shih Tzu-schnauzer named Lexi, and she is 12 years old. I adore working with animals, and have taken care of many furry loved ones. From friends to family, they have trusted and relied on me to take great care of their furry friends! My schedule is flexible to your pet needs. Throughout the school week I find time to spend with your furry friends and mine. On weekends I get up early and have ample amounts of time to check in, or walk your pets when needed! I have a large fenced yard, with my very friendly dog Lexi. She can roam, and use the restroom freely (since I pooper-scoop my yard daily), and she has lots of room to play. If your dog needs to be put in or taken of a crate, I can do that. My main goal is that the pets are safe, loved, and keep their tails wagging!
