1. Ruth M.


“Ruth does an excellent job caring for my puppies! She is prompt in response to any communication about their visits or changes in my work schedule, adjusts her schedule when possible to take them out earlier or later, and is easy to communicate with. She’s been overly helpful today especially when I forgot to put the lock box on my door on the way out and had a full schedule at work, she even stopped by to get the key where otherwise my puppies would have been stuck with no potty or exercise breaks for hours. These two are full of energy so I know they appreciated the extra play time they got together today also! We are very grateful for Ruth and her excellent dog walking services.”

“Shelby is the BEST for letting me know what times he could walk Miley today last minute. He also walks her all around downtown in 30 minutes!! He is the BEST!!”


3. Isabella J.

“Isabella was great! She communicates great, and kept my pup happy while I had to travel to another city. I booked short notice and it wasn’t a problem!”


4. Rosa F.

“Rosa was a joy to work with and made our Ozzy feel more than comfortable! Would highly recommend her for anyone needing help with their pet. A+!”


5. Parker P.

“Parker was so wonderful and really helped out in a pinch. She came through when our other walker fell through and ended up being so much better. She is sweet and thoughtful and so responsible with our boy. Will definitely seek her services again and would highly recommend her for any kind of pet care you need.”

7. Sophia D.

“Sophia is so amazing and I couldn’t recommend her enough!! She was so sweet and made sure to update me with lots of pictures and notes. I requested her within 24 hrs of when i needed so even with very short notice she made time to come meet me and my puppy before her visits/walks. The absolute best and so thankful for her help!!”


8. Emma F.

“Walked my dog for me, and everything was perfect! Responsive, took photos, and can tell she loves animals, highly recommended. Plan to use her again!”




9. Desiree R.

“I own an Australian Shepherd who can be very unpredictable towards strangers and does not do well with other dogs so it’s always stressful to have to find a new sitter who can understand and handle my dog’s unique needs. My usually sitter was not available, so I reached out to someone new on Rover and Desiree responded back quickly. She agreed to do a couple of drop-in visits before I left for my trip so that I could feel more comfortable leaving him alone with her. Desiree did a wonderful job assessing my dog’s behaviors and didn’t shy away from the challenge. She was very timely with her scheduled visits and did a great job keeping both my dog and others safe during his walks. I also really appreciated the photos that she took at each visit. It made me breathe easier knowing my dog was in capable hands. I definitely feel confident to use Desiree’s services again for future trips!”


10. Bliss W.
“Bliss is a wonderful, caring, and responsible pet caregiver. She did an outstanding job taking care of our Lab. She stayed and night and kept our home clean and tidy. I highly recommend her!”




11. Lisa N.
“I was extremely grateful to have Lisa look after my dog prema, she was incredible with him played with him daily was responsible with his meds and even took him on extended walks I hope to use her again in the future!”


12. Anna M.
About: I’ve had dogs in my family since I was a child, love to expand meeting others! Love to keep them on the go, let them get their energy out on walks, catch, playtime! Keeping your pets safe and healthy is my number one priority and following protocol with understanding of how you would like your pet to learn, live and love ❤️ I am currently a part time server, who graduated from SUNY Plattsburgh, currently taking time off to save up and pay off my loans! So I currently have a lot of extra time on my hands to enjoy the company and learn different aspects of a pets life to help them grow! I do not have boarding in my own home! Which I have no problem watching them at other homes or locations for their owners needs!


13. Anamaria C.
“I’ve known Anamaria for 10+ years, and I can confidently say that she is one of the most caring and reliable people I know, especially when it comes to animals. Anamaria has a natural ability to connect with pets and understand their needs, whether it's giving them medication, ensuring they’re active and happy, or just providing love and attention. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for your pets, I highly recommend Anamaria. Your furry friends will be in great hands!”


14. Madison M.
About: I'm thrilled to have recently graduated from UNCW & bittersweetly left my successful nearly 8-year career with Hendrick Automotive to pursue my Master's at UTampa as a Grad Assistant! I'm almost 23 - I have a sister(21), brother(14), & Brittney Spaniel who I used to care for. I love to be active, be creative, cook, & travel the world! I babysat for a 13-year-old when I was 16. At 17, I was recommended by my school counselor for a daily after-school position for my high school Girl's Soccer coach who had a baby, 3-year-old, 5-year-old, & puppy for a year until the pandemic. Recently, I tutored a 14-year-old weekly in Algebra in Fall '24 to prepare him for High School. I have my own car with a clean record. I love caring for pets & take care of my roommate’s cat - I wish I had time for my own! I like to ensure a safe & engaging environment for animals. I'm keen to navigating challenges with pets, as I have with adults in customer service for years lol! I’m looking for a part-time commitment (reocurring or situational) outside of school & my GA work to help support myself financially while enjoying this job - I just moved here last weekend near Channelside:) I’m open to care or even just walking! *I’ve only listed availability for Fri.-Sun. right now until I receive my Grad. Assistant schedule next Tuesday - these will most likely be the best days for me, but I’m sure I can squeeze in another day if needed + I used to work sometimes 15+ hr. shifts long ones are nothing to me! My main priority is ensuring a safe & fun environment for any animal. I respect their space if I can sense they want it or have the energy like a Golden Retriever to keep up:)


15. Amanda & Matthew K.
“I would not trust anyone else to care for my dog other than Amanda, whether it is for overnight care or even just a walk. What really keeps my trust in her active is how Amanda’s love for pets and their well being shines through her interaction with them. She loves and cares for them as if they were her own. It’s also evident in my dog’s reaction when he sees Amanda or even just hearing her voice. He gets super excited! If you want someone who will take good care of your pets, she is truly someone to trust! She’s basically the best!”


16. Samantha D.

“Sam has been amazing with our adopted Dog, Bugsy! She was already familiar with our apartment complex since she had walked a dog from our area before. She always kept us up to date with pictures, and if Bugsy peed or pooped. It was great to have her come for the days we needed her.”


17. Phylicia D.
About: I have been around animals my whole life. Mostly cats and dogs. I have learned to understand their behaviors really well. I even have a special place in my heart for the seniors & the sassy ones. I am happy to help! I work from home part time so I can be flexible with pet care & have time to play/give attention to your pet. I am available for boarding after 3 pm on weekdays & I am pretty flexible for weekends. I work from home and am able to walk your dog as much as they need should you need to board them at my home.


18. amanda l.

“Amanda was so great with my pup Rudy! He’s a big boy with a lot of energy, and she handled him so well! She asked great questions to make sure she was prepared and made me feel so comfortable knowing he was in great hands :) thanks Amanda!”


19. Lexi C.
About: I have grown up taking care of dogs! My grandpa breeds dogs so I have taken care of several different breeds. Along with puppies, pregnant dogs, old dogs, and sick dogs. I have a 7 year old German Shepard (she does not live with me right now) and I love to take her to the dog park, for walks, swimming, and to pet smart to spoil her. I can guarantee the best care for your dog or cat. I am a full time student at UT, but have lots of breaks within the day and no more than two classes a day. I do live in an apartment with two other roommates and they’re both dog lovers as well. I also live right next to a dog park and lots of walking paths so high energized dogs are no problem! I would love to take care of your pet whenever is needed. I can do overnight stays, walks, daily check ins or whatever is needed. I can ensure proper care for your pet whether it is for one day or a week!

“Raquel was amazing with my dog! She was so patient with my dog (who is completely blind) and most importantly I could tell she genuinely liked her! I have already re-booked her and would honestly be heartbroken if she was ever not available.”
