5. Anita S.
“Anita took great care of all of our pets! We have a 1 year old active dog, a senior cat, and 2 other cats.

“Ava is a true gem! She was very communicative, professional, and caring. One of my pups is very anxious and slower to warm up to new people.

We will absolutely reach out to Ava in the future.”

About: Having my own dog has taught me firsthand about the importance of patience, consistency, and love in a dog’s life. I know how to create a safe and nurturing environment where your dog will feel at home. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. I am committed to providing reliable, trustworthy, and attentive care, ensuring that your dog is happy, healthy, and loved while you’re away. I understand that each dog is unique, with its own personality, preferences, and requirements. I tailor my care to meet the specific needs of your dog, whether it’s a playful puppy, an active adult, or a senior needing special attention. I believe in transparent communication and will provide you with regular updates, including photos and messages, so you can feel reassured and stay connected with your pet during your time apart. I start my day early with morning walks, ensuring dogs get their exercise and outdoor time. This is followed by feeding them a nutritious breakfast. I schedule midday visits to provide additional walks, playtime, and companionship for dogs, especially those who need extra attention or have special requirements. Evenings include a final walk, feeding, and winding down with some quiet time, ensuring dogs are calm and comfortable before bedtime. I maintain a consistent schedule, which helps dogs feel secure and understand what to expect each day. Regular routines include set times for walks, meals, and play. I dedicate time each week to update pet owners with detailed reports and photos, keeping them informed about their pet’s well-being and activities. I ensure my home is pet-friendly, with designated areas for sleeping, eating, and playing. Safety measures like secure fencing and pet-proofed spaces are in place. Pets follow a consistent routine that includes regular walks, feeding times, play sessions, and rest periods. This helps them feel secure and reduces anxiety. I keep a close eye on each pet’s behavior and health, making sure they receive individualized attention and care. I follow specific feeding schedules provided by owners and ensure pets have access to fresh water at all times. I will maintain the pet’s regular routine in the comfort of their own home, which helps reduce stress and anxiety. I follow the specific instructions provided by the pet owner, including feeding schedules, medication administration, and preferred activities. Depending on the service requested, I make regular visits to walk, feed, and play with the pet, ensuring they receive the care and attention they need. I also take care of small household tasks, such as bringing in the mail, watering plants, and ensuring the home is secure. I stay overnight to provide continuous care and companionship, ensuring pets are never left alone and feel secure. I ensure the pet feels comfortable and safe, providing plenty of affection and attention throughout my stay. I keep up with the pet’s daily routine, including morning and evening walks, feeding, and bedtime rituals

18. Jayden W.
“Jayden is great around shy and anxious dogs, and has watched my very shy dog on multiple occasions without incident. He is very quiet and gentle with animals in general and dogs seem to really like him!”
19. Lucy Y.
“Lucy is the best! She loves our dogs and kitties like her own and it shows. I get updates and photos while I’m gone which always makes a dog momma feel better. She makes sure to play and cuddle with all of them so no one gets left behind. Highly highly recommend Lucy to watch your babies. You will not be disappointed.”
20. Anna B.
“Anna is the best Rover we’ve ever had (and we’ve had quite a few over the years)! She was super communicative, sent us lots of photos and updates of the dogs so we never had to wonder how they were doing, and went above and beyond taking care of them. We were a little nervous because this was the first time leaving our new puppy with a Rover, but we could tell both of our dogs were SO happy the entire time. She also did a great job giving our pup who had an ear infection her drops. We loved that she was willing to stay at our home with the dogs so they were never left alone. She played with them, took them on walks, followed our care instructions, and even had the great idea to give them peanut butter ice cubes on a hot day. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for our dogs!”
