“I highly recommend Jeannette to anyone looking for someone to walk their furry friends! She has been part of our routine for a year now and provides M-F walks for my feisty and funny poodle. My pooch loves Jeannette and is excited to see her every time. She gets full-body wags! Jeannette knows dogs and is savvy with the weather. She always has water available on play dates and lets me know if she spots anything of concern with my pooch. Jeannette is reliable and trustworthy. Oh, and as an added bonus, she also offers boarding service. I can't say enough good things! Jeannette is amazing!!!”

“Being a pet sitter is no easy job,nor is it for everyone. Which is why I believe Beverly would make for a great dog sitter. She shows a great amount of care and commitment when it comes to taking care of dogs and their needs. From sleepless nights to visits to the vet, Beverly shows that she sees dogs as more than just a pet, rather like family.”
9. Maheen A.
“Maheen did a great job watching our husky, Zora, for a a weekend during the day. In true husky fashion, Zora is very energetic but we would come back home in the evening and she’d be content and tired. Maheen took her on long walks and made sure Zora had an active day. Two big paws up from Zora!”
10. Hannah M.
“Hannah watched our two cats and dog while we were out of town a few times now. Hannah did an amazing job! She left the house tightly and clean. Hannah was extremely respectful and gentle with our pets, she took the extra time with each pet to make them feel comfortable while we were gone😊 I would recommend Hannah to anyone! We will be using her again in the future!”

12. Avery H.
“Avery has been an incredible pet owner and caretaker since we met in 6th grade. Her dedication and love for animals are unparalleled, making her the perfect person to entrust with your fur babies. Personal experiences have proven her reliability and responsibility. Avery graciously stayed at my house to watch my two cats for over 2 weeks while I was out of the country. She treated them with the same love and care as I do, ensuring they felt comfortable and secure. I knew she had all situations under control which was comforting with me being so far away. Now having her own dog, she loves taking her high energy companion on long walks, visits parks, farmers markets, and arranges puppy playdates, all to enrich Goose's life with joy and social interactions. Avery's hardworking nature and unwavering trustworthiness make her an ideal pet owner. She wholeheartedly cares for animals, and her dedication ensures that your beloved pets will receive the utmost attention, love, and care they deserve. Rest assured, your furry friends will be in excellent hands with Avery, and she will flawlessly fulfill their every need.”

About: I have taken care of animals my whole life. All shapes and sizes. From Guinea pigs to chickens, pugs to pitties! Rest assured knowing that your loving pets are being cared for by an experienced hand! I am a teacher so I am available in the afternoons and weekends. With holidays, or random days off I may have more availability. Just check in! I use Rover very frequently for my own pets, so I fully understand the need for respectful and loving care. Please feel free to leave as detailed instructions as needed ( I know I do! Lol).

19. Sakshi D.
About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs since college! I’m in medical school and now have extra time to walk and dog sit/cat sit some cute fur babies :) Currently a med student off all month. So I’m free all day, all hours ! Don’t prefer nights bc walking alone at night scares me lol but if needed I’m open to it I have a car right now so I can’t keep pets overnight, but I still love them and will shower them with love, take them on walks, and cuddles!!
20. Joseph O.
“Joe was great! I booked him to walk Graé several times while I flew to Detroit for an interview. Unfortunately, Graé suffered a dog attack the day before I was set to leave so that added a little more burden on Joe than anticipated. Joe walked, fed and administered Graé's meds in the evening and the morning. To make sure they got along Joe stopped by my place the night before for a meet and greet with my pup. While gone, Joes sent photos and updates to his time with him; I great help! I will definitely be using joe again if the need arises and he's available.”
