1. Katie A.
“Katie has been a loving caregiver for my husky pit, Canela. Katie first cared for Canela when she was a very energetic puppy! Canela is now older and more calm but continues to have a loving relationship with Katie and is so excited when she sees her :) I 100% recommend Katie to be trusted with your dear pets.”
2. Gabriella F.
“Gabriella has watched, Dudley, our 10-year-old lab on several occasions, and she's provided awesome care each time despite the significant time required daily. She'd come to our place first thing in the morning to let Dudley out of the house and feed him breakfast, return later in the day for a 45 minute-1 hour walk, and then return again in the early evening to feed and play with him before putting him to bed. Dudley absolutely LOVES her, and I'd highly recommend her to anybody for dog care. She's reliable, an excellent communicator, and very obviously knows how to handle dogs generally.”
3. Greer W.
“Greer was great, punctual and great with Mahina.”
4. Corinne P.
“We feel so lucky to have found Corinne! She is reliable, responsive, and most importantly, absolutely wonderful with our golden retriever puppy. He is notoriously a handful, yet Corinne takes his energy in stride and we always come home to a happy dog! We look forward to the next time we get to work with Corinne!”
5. Marley M.
“Dear Rover.com, Let me sing praises about Marley. She is an awesome and compassionate dog caregiver. I was stuck in a true crisis over Thanksgiving 2018. After driving 9.5 hours from Las Vegas to San Francisco to spend the holiday with my sister and her family, we discover that my sister failed to disclose to her anti-dog husband that we would be bringing our dog Ella. Needless to say he was livid. We either had to load the kids and dog back into the car and drive back to Vegas (which I was very close to doing, I was THAT upset) or we find other options for Ella. Now to the good part.... With it being the long Thanksgiving weekend, finding a place to board Ella was impossible. Until I was referred to Marley. She empathetically listened to my dilemma and took my 12 year old pit mix Ella into her care. From Wednesday until Saturday late night, she took care of my Ella, texting me pictures of her playing at the dog park and get this... EVEN TOOK ELLA TO THANKSGIVING DINNER AT HER FAMILY'S HOUSE (of course with my permission). I couldn't and still can't believe someone as awesome as Marley even exists!!! Ella thanks you! I thank you!!! Marley, you are the best!! Good blessings to you!! P.S. Rover.com, you are lucky to have her represent you!”
6. Hailey C.
“Hailey was amazing! I contacted her with less than 12hrs notice and she responded back fast and efficiently. She took my pups on a brief walk and potty, gave them plenty of pets and water and a little treat. Definitely will hire again for drop ins! Thank you Hailey!!🐾✨”
7. Melanie L.
“Another amazing job by Melanie. My cat was cared for the whole time I was away, and was healthy and comfortable when I got home. The entire time I was away I got pictures and that piece of mind that is so hard to get when I leave my animal for so long.”
8. Cassidy L.
About: I have grown up surrounded by dogs and cats my entire life. I currently own my own rescued german shepherd mix so I have some experience dealing with difficult dogs. Even in living with roommates I make it a priority to make sure my best friend is happy and healthy and now with more free time I want to help your best friend too. I am experienced with puppies, senior dogs and can administer drugs and medication if needed. I have experience with both dogs and cats. I can walk, run, or hike with your furry friend, although I have yet to have the chance to walk a cat. I work a 40 hour per week job in Capitola. However, my schedule is ever changing meaning I have times generally during the morning and the evening to help out with your animal, and can even do little lunch time check-ins. Especially during the warmer months I know early morning or later evening walks are what dogs need to not burn their little feet, I am more than happy to take your dog along with my own as long as they get along! My dog is treated as if she is my only child in the world. Letting your dog (or cat) get walked with me there will be no shortage of love and affection.
9. Rylee S.
About: I've grown up around dogs of all sizes, breeds and personalities. I love getting outside for some exercise or snuggling if thats what your pup wants! I currently am working remote and part time so I have plenty of time for dog sittings, walks, and committed time to your pup! I love getting outside for a nice long walk. I am unable to offer services for at home boarding. I have dog sat for family, friends, and friends of friends for years and pay very close attention to the needs of the dog. Currently my family has a 16 year old dog so we pay very close attention to her potty breaks, food schedule, and make sure she is getting exercise when she has the energy to do so.
10. Summer P.
“My pup loves Summer! He had so much fun with Summer that he was too pooped to play when we got home! He told us that he loves her and hopes she can come back soon!”
11. Jenna S.
“Jenna grew up on a farm in a very small town & always had dogs and various critters to care for. She has taken care of many pets and homes for friends & family while they are away. She is very trustworthy & responsible and wants her clients to feel at ease. Jenna has always felt strongly that Pets are like children & love unconditionally, relying on humans for care and are just good for the soul. Over the years, She has taken in many strays, and rescued various dogs and cats,”
12. Raquel M.
“Raquel is extremely reliable and responsible with her duties, and quite experienced for her age. She is hard working and energetic. Usually finds creative ways to solve problems and has a deep caring for the animals she is responsible for. She has taken deep care of our dog. She is very appreciated by the pet owners of the animals she cares for. And also by the pets themselves.”
13. Britt H.
“Britt is an incredibly loving and responsible pet caregiver. She has helped take care of my energetic dog, Latte, who tends to bark and run a lot. Britt’s calming presence and energy made Latte feel right at home—so much so that he would rush into her house excitedly and even seemed to prefer her over me! She is attentive, dependable, and has a natural way with animals. Whether it’s a walk, a run, or simply giving your pet the attention they need, Britt goes above and beyond. I wholeheartedly recommend her for anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”
14. Angie C.
“Angie is such a lifesaver! Responsive, reliable and my cat loves her. She was so happy when I got home, and had been happily sleeping. I'm so happy I can leave town without worrying about her.”
15. Lisa S.
“Lisa is very responsive, kind and welcoming. I trust her implicitly with our cat and with our home. I will definitely request her to care for our cat again.”
16. Jacquelyn d.
About: I’ve taken care of both dogs and cats for many years and have really enjoyed it. Family and friends have relied on me to be there for their furry companions and I have not let them down. I do whatever it takes to make sure they are treated the way I would treat my own. Pet care fits into my everyday routine seamlessly. When someone needs my help, I am there with no questions asked. And I will be there for you too. I will be caring for pets in the clients home the same way they are used and their daily routine dictates. I am also flexible for what the pets parents want for them.
17. Mary Ann V.
“Mary Ann and her sweet kids take my dog Skye on adventures all the time! She follows all my care instructions for him and he always returns home to me completely happy AND exhausted in the best way possible. I highly recommend Mary Ann as a dog sitter or walker!”
18. Grace W.
“Grace is the natural "Animal Whisperer". A dog or cat owner would be lucky to have her in either a home visit (in home boarding) or taking care of your pet in yours. She's a mature 20-something, bright, caring, responsible, and loving beyond words to all pets. I had her watch my small older dog for a few days and my dog didn't want to leave, she made her feel so welcome. She's a great caregiver; her home is perfect for boarding dogs. Book her before she's too busy! Patti B. (Dog owner)”
19. Lauren W.
“Lauren has cared for my dog, Scruffy, on several occasions. She takes care to follow all of my unique requests from giving him his medications on-time to making sure he only goes where he will be safe (Scruffy cannot go to dog parks, beaches, etc. as he's in remission from an illness). When Lauren is providing care to Scruffy, I never have any doubt that he is in safe hands when I leave town, or she comes to walk him while I'm gone during the day. Plus, Scruffy absolutely adores Lauren! It's quite clear that she gives him the same love she does her very own. I highly recommend Lauren to help care for your special pets!”
20. Emma G.
“Emma pet sat my cats and she did a wonderful job! She's prompt, communicative, responsible, and clearly loves animals. My cats were happy and well-cared. I'll definitely be using her services whenever I am out of town!”
