Erica was great and took very good care of our very senior basset hound mix (Norman) that has limited mobility and no hearing. She sent a lot of pictures and updates. We would highly recommend her.

Gilberto was wonderful! He took such good care of Chadwick and the house. He was also very understanding when we had to change the dates of our trip bc of Covid. He listened to all of Chadwick’s care instructions and asked us if he had any questions. We checked in regularly, but also were able to relax knowing that Gilberto was taking great care of our boy. He’s very kind, and we look forward to working with him again!

We are grateful to Elmer who was able to take care of our puppy Andy on such notice after our babysitter cancelled on us. He is responsive and kind, sending us nice updates and funny photos. We felt reassured and happy to know Andy has a new friend that cares for him. If you want kind care for your dog— we highly recommend Elmer!

Jennifer is AMAZING!! The best sitter I have ever had. My pets have some challenging behaviors and she handled everything so well. I had issues with my flight home being delayed and she stayed late into the night to make sure my babies were ok! I cant wait to have her come sit for my pets again!

Words fall short when it comes to describing how amazing Shamaurie is. I was so nervous leaving my baby alone while traveling with my roommate. He came and met our pets and they loved him instantly. He listened to all our instructions and didn't judge me at all for typing out an over-the-top guide to caring for our pets and staying in our place. I told him I was a worrier so every day he sent me updates, photos, and videos to reassure me that my cat and roomie's dog were happy and cared for. He spoiled them more than we do with walks and treats and pets! I didn't worry once! He even cleaned things he didn't have to! After our flight home was canceled, he offered TO CONTINUE pet sitting and asked if the pets were taken care of because he so genuinely cares. You want Shamaurie as your pet sitter and we feel so lucky to have met him!

So grateful for Gabbie! Had a last minute trip with an even more last minute extension by a day, and Gabbie was incredibly flexible and a great communicator through it all! She took excellent care of my dog and apartment and I could tell my dog was really comfortable with her. This was all right around July 4th, too, which can be a stressful time for dogs (and dog owners) with the fireworks but I felt no anxiety about Gabbie's ability to take great care of my dog through it all! Would recommend and definitely would book again!

About: It’s so nice to meet you! My name is Meg, and I grew up with a golden retriever named Winston for the first 17 years of my life. I currently have a 5 year old golden retriever and a 3 year old vizsla. (They will be left at home while I’m walking your pup). I am an all-around HUGE dog lover. I have experience dog walking, dog training, dog socializing, etc. I am also a former teacher, so I have lots of flexibility, patience, and energy. I look forward to helping take care of your pup. Open to recurring walk schedules or last-minute plans. Please reach out with any and all dog needs you may have! I am available weekdays Monday - Friday during working daytime hours (~8am through ~6pm). Some weekend availability if needed, as well. Happy to discuss flexibility further! I will not bring my dogs while providing services for you and your dogs. I have transportation and am willing to walk your dog(s) on specified or preferred routes designated by client.

From the time of the meet and greet through the stay, my dog Mika absolutely loved William! He was consistently loving to Mika and communicative with me. The stay was filled with photos, “pupdates,” and even techniques to help her stubborn walking habits. I was so grateful and impressed! Honestly this is mine and Mika’s best rover experience and we will be booking with William whenever possible! 5 stars recommend!

Trisha was amazing! A huge help stepping in to take care of my Shiba Inu last minute. She sent lots of pictures every day, and my pup seemed very happy and well taken care of. Trisha also left the place cleaner than she left it and took care of my plants which is a quite a big job on its own.

Katie is one of the only people I will trust to watch my beloved cats! One of them is very shy and often scared of new people, and he adores Katie! She’s one of the only people I have ever seen him warm up to in that way. She’s so attentive to their needs and has gone above and beyond to ensure my sweet babies are well taken care of. I cannot recommend her enough!

I can’t say enough about Hannah - she is wonderful! We have two special needs kitties with big personalities and a long list of demands and she not only met them but exceeded them. She took the time to get to know each of them and paid attention to everything big and small. Knowing Hannah had everything under control allowed us to have the relaxed vacation we so desperately needed. I’m truly concerned our babies are sad to see her go and their usual staff (us) return. Would absolutely use Hannah again and again!

Kim was absolutely perfect! She communicated very consistently while I was away & made a creative effort to get my anxious dog to eat when he wouldn’t. She also left a really cute card for me when I returned home. I felt like Tino was in very safe & capable hands. We can’t wait to book with Kim again!

Corinne was awesome! She is extremely conscientious, communicates exactly the right amount, and treated our dog like he was her own. Knowing he was being so well taken care of put our minds at ease while we were away. He had a wonderful time with her and can't wait to see Corinne again!
