“This is my second dog that Brittany and Branson have cared for. This time it is a very energetic Cavapoo named Wyatt. Brittany is always prompt, notified me of any concerns and leaves a full update of her visit and a few pictures. Wyatt is always in a great mood when I come home and obviously was well cared for and had some fun too!!! Couldn't be happier with his care!!”
5. Samantha E.
“Sam has been an absolutely terrific dog walker for Kyra. This is my first time using Rover, and so far, Sam has beyond exceeded any expectations I had for a new dog walker. She communicates well, sends photos and updates daily, always gives treats, and even refills Kyra’s water bowl if needed. Kyra has been so happy having Sam come to visit while I’m at work and I would certainly recommend Sam to anyone seeking a trustworthy, reliable dog walker.”

11. Autumn K.
“Always very happy with the care our dogs get from Autumn. This time the weather was less than ideal for coming out and servicing a dog. Autumn still provided the care our dog needed. Our dog is large and can be rambunctious, but not a problem for Autumn to handle. Thanks again! 😊”
12. Alexis C.
“Alexis (Lexi) will treat your pets like they're her own! She will go above and beyond to make sure that your pets are comfortable and feel safe and cared for while you're away. I sometimes joke that my cats love her more than me! She takes initiative to handle things and is very communicative so that you feel confident that you can relax knowing that your pets are in good hands.”

17. Aviendha P.
About: Hello! I’m a full-time Pet Care Specialist. I’ve walked every pup from Shih-Tzus to Newfoundlands. I was employed as an assistant manager for a Pet Care Service until I decided to do it on my own. I also used to help foster, and learned some basic training techniques from the owner of a nonprofit dog rescue called Bonafied. I’m great at befriending dogs. Even a few I had met that were deemed aggressive, I was able to rub their bellies and was greeted with the wiggles after a few visits. I’m very patient with pets, especially scared ones. I work with cats as well, and love them just as much! I provide plenty of picture updates during every visit. I require meet and greets in order to get to know your furbaby beforehand. I feel it necessary to say I am autistic and have adhd. I get burnt out easily and struggle with socializing. That does not affect the care I put into working with pets, just my availability and ability to carry a conversation. I won't work when my mental state isn't doing well. It is best for me to have a set schedule, and for clients to have a backup in case I can't work suddenly. I cherish the memories I make with everyone’s pets I’m lucky to have met. Thank you to whomever considers me. If you’d like to set up a meet, please contact me! My normal schedule is preferrably M-Th 8am-5pm. Availability may change at anytime. I may not be able to work some weeks/days due to my mental health. I won't cancel on the same day, but I will have to cancel the next appointments until further notice. I no longer take last minute appointments, I had too many people taking advantage of that. If you hire me full-time, I'd like to know by Sunday what the schedule is for me to walk/visit for the upcoming week. I will make an exception for last minute requests if I can. I follow your pets' routine and provide photo updates as frequently as requested. I will go with your preferences. I can give dogs medications and have had experience giving epidermal shots with one senior GSD. I may need a refresher, but I am capable. I take all the safety precautions when letting dogs into their backyard and when taking them on walks. I will double check gates are closed before letting your pup out and double check that I've locked your door on my way out. I know how to avoid dogs and people if your dog isn't friendly.

About: I got my first dog when I was only 6 years old, since then, I care about all the dogs so much & help my family & my friends with their dogs, cats or any other animals - even horses - they need help with. I can help with puppies & seniors, I can care about them in health & sickness. My dogs are my children, they are my family. I spoil all my babies from playing in the pool or giving them a ride in a special pet stroller - & spoil them to death. I have 1/4 acre, almost fully fenced yard, but I also have invisible fence. Plenty toys & my dog to keep company & play with. I have mini pool to cool them off & pet stroller if they are tired or too old to walk. You need just bring your baby & the food & I will provide love, care & everything else they need. I work 2-3 days a week for only few hours. Sometimes I help with my grandchildren or I need to run out for an hour to do extra special chores to care about other animals. Besides this, I am always home. I enjoy playing & cuddling with dogs & cats, they are the best friens & family. If I am at your house - your rules, if we are at my house - also your rules but my little guests are always allowed to be on my sofa or sleep on my bed.

20. Cora K.
“Cora has grown up with pets her whole life and has always treated them with love and respect. I have seen her treat them as family and spoil them like kids. She will be an amazing dog caregiver and go over and above looking after them.”
