Samantha was wonderful! She accommodated my last minute request and also did a great job with our anxious new rescue dog. She left thorough notes and photos for us. We will definitely be using her again!

Sheila was fantastic, taking wonderful care of our sweet dogs while we went away to visit family. She arrived promptly and shared photos of each visit so we knew that they were happy and safe! We received a few packages while away and she brought even a really heavy one inside for us!!

Christina is an awesome pet walker / sitter! She’s knowledgeable and makes sure she’s aware of any training that is an issue with your animal. We have a puppy that we needed walked in the middle of the day while we’re working. We needed a walker who was willing to get him some good exercise not just a leisurely walk. She’s also watched our puppy for an event we had a couple of hours offsite. She’s so good with our dog and we highly recommend her.

About: I have had dogs and animals ever since I was really young, so taking care of animals and playing with them is second nature to me I currently coach soccer full time but that’s only at night so I have all day to pay attention and attend to your pets, feed them, take them on walks. I have a fenced in yard so everyone will be safe and secure here. We have crates if that’s necessary as well. We’re a pet friendly family so they are free to roam around the house on furniture anything to make them comfortable

About: I have been caring for dogs since I was 13! I have had multiple dogs (all rescue) in my home that I have fed, bathed, walked, and administered medication. I have been working in dog shelters since 2021, so I am comfortable with all dogs from all backgrounds! I have a pitbull terrier mix, a semi-feral outdoor cat, fish, and two crested geckos! Pet care is something I do every single day, including: feeding, bathing, walking, medication administration, and habitat cleaning! I always meet an animal where they are. I don't want to impose on their personal space or do something to make them scared. I don't expect every animal to be super warm and cuddly, everyone has different needs! I can cater as fancy or as downplayed a routine as you need to make your fur-babies (or non-furry) feel safe!

About: Hi! I’m Ingrid, a mom of 4 boys ages 3-12 and a dog owner to a boy Beagle named Otis. I’ve had dogs all my life and love being with them and caring for them! (I even trained Otis from a puppy!) We have a large house in the country on 2.5 acres of land. We LOVE having other dogs stay and visit! Otis and the children are very good with other dogs! Other than taking care of the house and kids, taking care of dogs is my only other job, so your pup will get plenty of needed attention and have lots of fun with us!!! We are on a 2.5 acre property, but no fence, so outside time will be on leash only- (we have long leashes for more freedom to roam). Inside is more flexible with free roam in the main area- very large sunroom, living room, and kitchen. We have a large area for dogs to sleep overnight comfortably either on a dog bed or crate, whichever is preferred.

Judy was AMAZING!! My dog has anxiety and can be a little nervous around new people. Judy was accommodating with my schedule so we could do a meet-and-greet to make sure both Juliet (my dog) and Judy were comfortable with each other. By the end of the meet-and-greet, Juliet was resting her head in Judy’s hand. I almost cried (this is HUGE)! Judy sent lots of pics and had great communication. I had no reservations about my dog (who is my baby) being in good hands! It was my first time using Rover, and Judy was very patient with all my questions. I will DEFINITELY be rebooking!! Thank you again so much!!

About: My pup is an older King Charles clavier mix and the sweetest thing ever. She just had her 12th birthday and I have had her since she was 2! I also have experience with big dogs! My boyfriend has a German shepherd and a Rottweiler who I spend lots of time around. One of my roommates at school also has a cat who lives with us! I have experience watching both dogs and cats and just have a deep love for the both!! I am currently working part-time doing an internship for my school, which has given me lots of free time. I love spending time with my pup either just relaxing, going for walks, or playing. My pup is very well trained which makes it very easy for me to take her out as she doesn’t require a leash. However, I have experience with dogs who have a tendency to run if they get the chance 😂 So I am familiar with adjusting to different dogs needs!

Rachel was great with our dog & cat. She was punctual, reliable, and our fur babies took to her so quickly. She sent me so many pictures of them cuddled up on her so if you believe that a dog is a good judge of character, then Rachel is the best. We will use her in the future & would recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!

Jennifer did 3 drop in visits a day for my two dogs. She was wonderful with them! The dogs really liked her during our meet and greet and continued to look forward to her visits from the pictures she provided during the visits. I felt that the dogs were well cared for and was very pleased. Jennifer came by as expected each day. I would definitely use Jennifer again for her dependability and for her expert and loving care of my fur babies.

Super duper dogwatch trooper! Provided regular updates and timely pics. Great attention to detail, remembering little quirks I told her about our dog. I’d say even nicer things, but I’d rather keep her a secret ;)

About: I have experience taking care of dogs for years. I’ve taken care of every dog age (puppy-elder) by taking them on walks/jogs, feeding, bathing, and simply just spending time with them so they don’t get lonely:) Pet care is a consistent part of my routine. I’m partially responsible for three family pets on top of having a cat of my own, so I’m always managing feeding, check ins, and general upkeep. I also have experience with longer term care, a week or more, so I’m comfortable taking on full responsibility when needed. I’m willing to take dogs on walks/jogs to get some exercise in, feed them when needed, spend time playing with them and keeping them company, take them outside to do their business when needed.

Susan has been absolutely fantastic as a dog walker! She is reliable, punctual, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. My dog immediately felt comfortable with her, which gave me great peace of mind. She always provides updates after walks and goes the extra mile to make sure my dog is happy and well cared for.

We had such a wonderful experience with Lauren! She was prompt, communicative, and even stopped by before our trip to meet us and the cats, which gave us so much peace of mind. She followed all of our feeding instructions perfectly and sent us daily updates with plenty of photos of the cats (and their food!), which we really appreciated while we were away. She also made sure to spend quality time playing with them. It’s clear how much she truly loves animals. We came home to two very happy cats! We will absolutely use her again and would highly recommend her to any family and friends. Thank you, Lauren!
