“We have only had her for a little over a week but she seems to be doing great! She communicates frequently, which I appreciate.”

“This was my first time using the Rover app and Ashley was such a pleasure to meet. She was kind, thoughtful and incredibly caring to my two pugs. I really appreciated her clear communication and she even shared a few photos of the dogs enjoying their walk. I’m more that happy with Ashley’s service and will definitely use her again. Thank you Ashley!”

“David is the only person I would ever leave my dog with. My dog is my world, and I can feel confident that she will be well taken care of when left with him. I’m actually pretty sure my dog loves him more than me.. lol. I highly recommend David as a dog sitter.”

“Shea not only runs the energy out of big dogs but also trains them to be better behaved on a leash.”

“Meaghan has grown up around animals. As a young child, she learned to take care of rabbits and guinea pigs and feels comfortable around small animals. She loves cats and has been surrounded by them for many years. She has experience with difficult cats, medicating cats, and dealing with complex dietary needs. She is also good with dogs and makes sure they get sufficient playtime and exercise.”

“I have known Lois for the past several years, having met through a walking group, SacFit. We’ve shared many walks, including a marathon, all offering the opportunity to talk and get to know someone. I consider her a dear friend and easily bonded over our love ❤️ for dogs. She dearly loves German Shepherds, having been a pet mom to 4 Shepherds over the years, starting when her now grown children were young. They were members of the family and I was most familiar with Schubie, who she and her husband recently lost at age 12. Lois spoke often of walking Schubie, who loved his walks and Lois found joy in seeing his alert, happy, and curious self. Schubie was well mannered on and off leash, with the former being a testament to Lois’s concern for Schubie’s safety. Lois is a kind, compassionate, responsible, and gentle human being, who values family, human and animal, and helping. I so value her openness to listening and her easy going, friendly and warm communication style. I was so happy to learn of her interest in becoming a dog walker through Rover. This seems an ideal fit for Lois 😊🐾🐾 It was my absolute pleasure and honor writing this testimonial for Lois. Melody”

“Thank you, Katie, for understanding our rascal from the moment you met, for asking good questions to have a thorough understanding of the job, for bringing your sense of humor to the task, for keeping us informed as your exercised and fed him and especially for giving our pup your undivided attention and love. Who could ask for anything more?”

“Sophia took care of my precious Louie for three weeks. He is a reactive dog with special needs. She followed my instructions respectfully. I never have to worry when my baby is in her hands. My dog is difficult to care for and it is a blessing to have someone in my pocket who I can fully trust.!!!”

“Ires is our pet and family’s favorite person! She’s been indispensable to us. She immediately connected with our exuberant 5 month old goldendoodle. Ires has a natural, easy-going way with animals and it’s evident she sincerely loves them and enjoys caring for them. She has a kind heart, is 150% trustworthy and responsible, and is FANTASTIC with our pet! We love her and will continue to use her for our pet/house sitting needs, walks, and anytime we need her to spend time with our pup! Thanks, Ires! You’re the BEST!”

“Dillon seems to be a dog person by nature—intuitive with my Australian Shepherd and clearly knowledgeable about training and working with dogs with reactive traits. I am so happy to have found her and feel great about working together in the future.”

“It is hard to describe Marissa because of all the characteristics that make her amazing, but to begin I would have to start by saying she is one of the most caring and loving animal lovers I have ever met. Her first thoughts are always what can I do to make this animal happy whether its feeding them, bathing them, or just knowing they want cuddles. I would absolutely love to have Marissa as a dog caregiver because I know my dogs will be in great and magnificent hands.”

“Ashley is amazing with dogs she is an absolute dog lover I’ve never seen anyone care so well for any pet in my life. She cared for my Winnie dog a few times and took her in like her own. I felt so good leaving my sweet dog with her as I knew Ashley would give her the same quality love and care as I would. I highly recommend Ashley and am sure she is the best choice for doggie care!”

“I highly recommend Kelly Mayer as a responsible and loving dog caregiver. My two dogs, one is a Chihuahua and the other a terrier mix, simply loved her. She came with a few treats and toys they both immediately gave her their attention. While walking them around the neighborhood and park, she was so loving, attentive and careful with them when around other dogs and children. The Chihuahua loves to run and play and I was pleased to notice that Kelly is very strong and athletic and could handle his energy very well. I especially loved how she would play, brush and massage them. She gave them belly and back rubs and they now remember that she is a person who can be trusted. I am so blessed I found Kelly as she will be my forever dog walker and caretaker.”

“Hannah was wonderful with our puppy! We had her drop in to do some dog walks in a pinch and even though our puppy decided to be a pain and do things like hide under the couch she handled it like a pro! We will definitely ask her for more dog walks and also overnight stays in the future. Thanks Hannah!”

“Mikayla is awesome. she knows what she is doing and the dogs loved her! She very responsive to text and very flexible to changes we made. Our dogs love Mikayla and we do too!”
