“I had a good experience with Marisa. She was able to fit me in on very short notice, which was awesome. She was professional and punctual and my medium sized dog send to have a good walk. She took pictures and send me updates. I hope to use her services again.”
“Brigette is wonderful! She's very prompt in her communications, and she's wonderful with my boy Newton. This is only the second time I've used her help, but Newton gets excited when she walks in the door :) After his walk, he comes home happy and tuckered out, which is wonderful to see. I very much recommend her and will be happy to use her again when I need the extra help :)”
“My wife and I went on a trip to NY for a couple of days, and have never used Rover before, so we were a little anxious leaving our “iceberg” with a stranger. However, Emily immediately and completely alleviated any concerns we had from her first visit. Emily’s professionalism, attention to detail and compassion for animals reassured us that our pup was in good hands. We were given updates and pictures every day, and we noticed that she would spend extra time with Iceberg after her walks. We are lucky to have Emily watch our pup, and have found our forever pet sitter.”
