Our previous sitter moved to other state, so we had to look for a new one. Jasmin’s all 5 star review proved how great she is. She took very good care of our two kitties while we are gone for vacation. After the routine care she even spent time to play and pet them for a bit. Our kitties love her so much! Definitely will rebook for our next vacation!

About: I’ve had dogs since I was 7 and I know how to take action and keep pets safe and comfortable at all times. I cared for my first dog, a beagle, since she was a 5-month-old puppy until she passed at 10 from lymphoma. My current dog is 4 and I’ve had him since he was 12 weeks, and I learned to groom him since he hates the groomers. I have basic knowledge about dog care since I wanted to be a vet for a long time :) I just graduated and have the entire summer free, so I’m readily available for all sorts of services! I have my license and will be driving to customers homes. Pet care is already a part of my daily routine since I walk my dog 3x a day! As someone who’s been a dog mom for many years, I’m very well versed in dog behavior and their body language. I will make sure all dogs are comfortable around me by offering treats if allowed, space when needed, and patience above all. I used to walk a senior dog in my neighborhood who would snap when he was overwhelmed, so I understand how to handle all sorts of pets while keeping myself and the dog safe!

Susan has been absolutely fantastic as a dog walker! She is reliable, punctual, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. My dog immediately felt comfortable with her, which gave me great peace of mind. She always provides updates after walks and goes the extra mile to make sure my dog is happy and well cared for.

Lynette was amazing with our two cats. She was professional, compassionate, and so sweet. She went out of her way to pick up our keys. This was our first trip leaving our cats over night and she put us at ease with detailed updates and lots of adorable pictures. We really appreciate her caring for our fluffy monsters and definitely recommend her!

Dymond took absolutely fantastic care of Justin. She is thorough, asks great questions, and you can tell she genuinely cares. I received a detailed Rover Card each day with the cutest pics, which put my mind at ease while leaving my kitty at home for a week. We will be rebooking the next time we are away and cannot recommend Dymond enough!

We loved having Tim look after our cat for the week! He was so kind and patient with our very senior furball. On top of the time he took to give lots of love and playtime, Tim kept perfect track of meds and food. What’s more—was so nice in managing a few bouts of ‘tummy trouble’. We would totally book him again!

Thank you, Hope!
