1. Andrew H.
“I highly recommend Andrew. He was able to help me out with a last minute need, and he went above and beyond with my pup, Ozzy. Not everyone can handle a hyper breed like a rat terrier, but Andrew did a wonderful job. He was prompt, thorough, and offered top notch communication and service. I will definitely be requesting his services again.”
2. Tracy P.
“Charlie loves walking with Tracy. She has a calming and positive nature that helps with his high energy. He watches out the window for her. I really appreciate it, along with her flexibility with my schedule.”
3. Maddy N.
“Maddy has just started walking my large 110 pound German Shepard for me, and she has been great! She’s been very reliable and flexible with her hours. She always sends updates and pictures. I recently adopted Duke and still getting to know him. She had no hesitations with taking him for walks, and has been very patient with his current less then stellar leash walking skills.”
4. Breen B.
“Breen was very helpful with me as I began the process of using Rover. Most importantly, Duke has been well cared for and happy with each visit.”
5. Brian D.
“I would certainly book Brian again! He was reliable, capable, communicative and friendly. I really enjoyed knowing he was looking after my pup.”
6. Larissa B.
“Larissa is absolutely wonderful. Our dog Paco, who tends to be wary around new people, grew to love her immediately, and with good reason. Larissa is so responsible, warm, friendly and kind, and she instinctively "gets" animals. She radiates positive energy and I am SO glad we found her. Five stars across the board!”
7. Kaitlyn T.
“Ollie had a great time on his walk and came back wore out, which is exactly what I hoped for. I also got a super cute picture of him on the walk, which was as added surprise. I’ll definitely be booking again”
8. Summer S.
“Summer was timely, kind and responsible with our dog Piper’s walk! She sent picture updates and Piper was very happy and relaxed when we came home. We’ve already asked her to come back again!”
9. Aichon Y.
“Our Sunny dog loves his walks with Aichon! She is quick and goes a long way — he’s always so tired afterwards, which we appreciate. We felt comfortable with her from the moment we met her based on her experience and friendly interactions with our dog. Sunny instantly bonded with her — it’s like they had known each other from the beginning!”
10. Samantha S.
“Sam was precisely on time and was very personable upon first meeting her. She seemed very sweet with my dog and appears to enjoy the work of spending time with them, being out in the fresh air and getting the steps in. :) Looking forward to a good ongoing relationship as I'll be working in-office for the first time in a few years and want to make sure Margot gets her exercise and stimulation during the week.”
11. Naira P.
About: We’re a family of two grown ups, two kids, and two dogs. We’ve done pet sitting on and off over the years and are excited to host more friends at our house. A typical day for us is a parent working from home, the dogs going in and out to the yard and three walks a day. Our younger dog loves the dog park so we go frequently and our kids are very good with dog etiquette. Hopefully we make some new puppy friends that are ready to play all day! I work from home and we have three walks a day, including a lunch walk. The house is quiet during the day and in the afternoons we head for a family walk or dog park visit. The day ends with a night time walk. Our backyard is fenced and our front porch door has a high latch to prevent dogs from slipping away. Our two dogs are not crate trained but we have experience in crating dogs if needed.
12. Jackson A.
“Jackson is a really invested dog walker. He’s so good with our pandemic pup who seems to love the attention and walks during the day with him now that we’re all back to work and school and the pup is home alone more often.”
13. Everett T.
“Everett is so good with our anxious and stubborn corgi - he goes above and beyond to get him some exercise and spend time with him while we’re at work during the day. Everything is smooth and we know Duncan is in good hands with Everett!!”
14. Emilie A.
“We are so grateful for Emilie. She is caring and detail oriented—the ideal person to look after our senior dog. Having her help has been a big relief when we need someone to stop in and take care of Lela.”
15. Lorna S.
“Looks like you had a great time, thank you for being willing and flexible!!”
16. Patrick G.
About: Work from home dog dad with a middle aged dog. We've worked through a torn ACL and arthritis, so I have some experience with dogs with extra needs. We can't do dog parks as often anymore, so I'm always looking for new dogs for Ella to socialize with at home. I've been working from home for about 3 years and have used that opportunity to take care of my buddy Ella. We always start and end our day with a long walk and every Saturday and Sunday morning starts with a coffee walk. I have a small fenced in backyard for breaks during the day, so sometimes I'll take my laptop outside so we can do some sun bathing and enjoy the fresh air and garden. I'm happy to host your pets in my home. I have a fenced in yard, but all outdoors time is monitored in case your buddy likes to jump. Otherwise, I my front and back doors have two separate locked doors for extra security and to keep everyone safe in the house during their stay.
17. Athena W.
“Athena is responsible, attentive and patient. We know the weather has been extremely cold and road condition was bad in these days. She did her best to walk with our dog and take good care of her. Athena is the best!”
18. Taylor M.
About: I have taken care of and house-sat for many friends, neighbors, and family members. I have worked with multiple puppies, including our own that we got in 2022. I am quite comfortable handling fairly large dogs (our own dogs have reached 75 pounds). Puppy and potty training are one of my favorite things to do! I am quite active; I enjoy running, biking, and walking, and try to do at least one activity a day. This makes it really easy for me to get outside. Our own dog goes on at least one walk a day, sometimes two! I currently work full time, but am home in the mornings and evenings to help walk, feed, and let out our own dog. However, my husband works from home so he is able to let the dog out fairly regularly. I have a fenced-in yard and one happy puppy to help keep your dog comfortable. I love going on walks and hikes, especially along the trails right behind my own house, which makes it really easy to get dogs out for exercise. I also already have one large and one medium crate at my home, as well as a pen for smaller dogs if needed for crate time. I am very tidy and organized, so it makes it easy to house-sit and keep things in order at your own home as well.
19. Natalie D.
“Natalie has taken care of our cat multiple times, including both visits/feedings and overnight stays. She is outstanding and takes seriously the well-being of our cat. She communicates frequently, happily accommodates our cat's 3x day wet food schedule, and genuinely loves spending time with him. She's also a clean and respectful house guest. I know she provides the same level of care for others because she has taken care of my friends' pets as well, both dogs and cats. I would not hesitate for a second in recommending Natalie.”
20. Andy W.
“Andy was amazing with my dog. She was always on time and made sure he was taken care of in every single way. I’ll definitely be rebooking with her in the future”
