10. Joshua JM W.


“Joshua is a breath of fresh air for me and my poopers! He is extremely reliable, responsible and amazing with my doggos. You can tell he loves animals and mine sure do love him. He is so kind and respectful to them. (For example, this is one of many) My little girl is a stubborn puppy, he is so calm with her in his commands . He will tell her "no ma'am" in the nicest voice, when she jumps on him. This may be a small thing for some, but lemme tell you, she is as stubborn as they get. Additionally, he works on training them, on my puppies dominance issues, utilizing commands, and leash training. Honestly, I lucked out. He really goes above and beyond. If you need a person who is going to love your babies and reliably show up, Joshua is your man. I've been with Rover for over 5 years and Joshua supersedes the rest. I've always been satisfied, with Joshua I am elated!!!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (I'D GIVE MORE IF THAT WAS A THING)”




11. Brittney M.
“Brittney is great with animals! We have a pure breed husky, half husky, half german shepherd, and a cat. She was so good with them. She feed them all the right portions, gave our dogs nice long walks, and played with them. When our purebred husky injured himself she helped me keep his legged wrapped up so he would not make it worst.”


12. Kaleb S.
“Kaleb is the most endearing and caring animal lover! He has always showed great compassion and love for his own pets and well as others. He has grown up with pets all his life and always been an amazing pet “parent” or caretaker. You can put your full trust in him when it comes to your fur babies.”


13. Loredana M.
About: Since I was 12, I’ve taken care of numerous pets such as dogs, cats, and the like. Personal and professional experience aside I truly have a heart and passion for quality animal care, and you bet I’ll do everything in my power to make sure your pet returns to you safe and sound. I currently have very few commitments so I am available most always. I’m always prompt and efficient, and will communicate constantly with you if I’m running late. Currently I can walk dogs and do home check ups. I can also pet- sit in the owner’s home if that’s something you’re interested in. At this time my home is unavailable for use as it is being redone still.

About: From tail-wagging greetings to cozy cuddles, I am your reliable and loving pet sitter! With years of experience and a passion for all furry companions, I ensure your pets receive the care and attention they deserve while you're away. Trust me to provide a safe and happy home-away-from-home for your four-legged friends. Let's wag our way to a pawsitively brilliant partnership! I'm currently working part time from home so I will have plenty of time to play with and care for your pets and their needs I settings entails several responsibilities tailored to the specific needs of each pet and its environment. For instance, if providing in-home pet care for clients, responsibilities may include feeding, providing fresh water, administering medication if necessary, grooming, exercising, and providing companionship. Additionally, tasks such as cleaning litter boxes for cats or cages for small animals may be required. In-home care also involves monitoring the pet's health and behavior for any signs of distress or illness and promptly notifying the owner or seeking veterinary care if needed. The level of care may also involve following specific instructions provided by the pet owner regarding dietary restrictions, exercise routines, or any other special needs of the pet. Ultimately, the goal is to ensure the pet's physical and emotional well-being while providing peace of mind to the owner.


18. Hailee A.
“Hailee was wonderful! Bruno and Fancy just love her! She was very patient and kind to my fur babies! I would highly recommend Hailee! She was on time and very presentable.”


19. Adrienna C.
“Hello, adrianna sat my 4 cats for about 2 weeks while I was on a business trip. She went once a day to feed them and clean their little boxes. She did play with them. My cats are very anti-social and weird around new people. In her videos she sent me, they seemed to love her. 2 out of 4 of my cats actually let adrianna pet them (which is very odd for my cats). That made me happy. She doesn't charge too much and has a great personality. I will definitely be using her in the future!”


20. Anahi D.
“I love the fact that Anahi is wonderful with animals, she is very watchful and patient with them. She is also a vet assistant which adds great value and trust in my books!!!”
