2. Ann-Marie B.
“After my initial meeting with Ann-Marie I felt very secure with leaving Mia in her hands while I’m at work. Ann-Marie has been walking Mia during the week for a few months now and has proven to be very professional, consistent, responsible, and truly cares about Mia’s well being. I would 100% recommend her to for your pet care needs.”

“I was thoroughly and pleasantly surprised by how quickly Henry bonded with Brian. Brian was not only efficient and effective but also timely and professional. It was an absolute delight to have him around, both for me and my dog. I highly recommend Brian and will definitely continue using his services through Rover in the future.”
4. Alex H.
“My husband was gone on a business trip and I needed some help walking Kiki in the afternoons. I wanted someone experienced with pitties just in case some of her behaviors came out during the walk and Alex did great! She was always super excited to see him and we can’t wait to book him again :)”
5. Whitney N.
“Whitney is extremely patient & professional. My dog is not an easy going pup he’s a bit of a grumpy old fuss pot. She communicates & asks for advice, I cannot stress enough how patient Whitney is. I felt she really tired to understand him & work with us. She is a great walker who goes above & beyond!!”
6. Jackie B.
“Jackie and Jannalea were very sweet and patient with my dog Ponyo. Ponyo got her walks and they managed to take the same route that I usually do without my prompting! Got photos and updates each time so I knew what was going on. Wouldn't hesitate to book again!”
7. Nick B.
“Nick is amazing. We don’t trust our dog with anyone because he’s really rambunctious and hyperactive. Nick was able to walk him without trouble. He has a confident gentle approach and is very supportive. We have peace of mind that Nick can walk our Rambo”

“Kat was a rockstar in taking care of my dog. She would constantly give me updates and treated my dog so well, he was more excited to see her than me when I got back! She told me she has experience with all kinds of dogs and did a great job in taking care of my golden. I always look to her for any of my dog sitting needs because I know that she will do the best job. I have nothing to say but great things about Kat. Fully recommend!”

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life, growing up with cats, dogs, fish, and birds as part of my family. Caring for them has always been second nature to me, and I’ve loved every moment of it. I’ve also had the joy of dog-sitting for family and friends, which has only deepened my appreciation for the unique personalities of every pet I meet. I understand how much pets mean to their families, and I’m committed to providing them with the same love and care I’d give my own.

“Jared is an energetic and enthusiastic animal caregiver and companion! His ability to connect with dogs and cats is fantastic. He is organized, thorough, on-time, responsible and responsive to the needs of our animals!”
15. Saverio T.
“I cannot recommend Saverio highly enough as a dog walker! From the very first meeting, it was clear that he has a deep love for animals and a genuine passion for his work. Saverio is incredibly reliable and always arrives on time, which gives me peace of mind knowing my furry friend is in great hands. What truly sets Saverio apart is his personalized approach. He takes the time to understand my dog's specific needs, personality, and quirks. Our Coraline is a rescue and she is very shy and jumpy when she meets new people, but with Saverio she clicked immediately. If you're looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog walker, Saverio is the one!”

Any dog I’ve met I have loved like my own! Growing up, I had my German Shepherd, and two cats. From pet sitting, long or short walks, I’ve also administered medication to dogs of all ages and sizes.
