Joselyn was amazing with my dog. She was patient, thorough, caring, and loving. She took the time to come meet with him prior to having to care for him. Yogi loved her immediately. I would trust Joselyn with my boy again, any day! Thank you for taking care of my boy.

Arianna is by far the top of the top!! She isn't just in the top 1%, she IS the top of the .01% of anyone on Rover, or anywhere else for that matter. Let's just say I've been there/done that with a close family member as a veterinarian and personal experience volunteering at a different veterinarian hospital for an extended amount of time, which was almost 40hrs/wk. after certification through classes and hands on training, which I pretty much already had since I've rescued animals as early as I can remember as well as my parents doing so prior to my existence. I'm coming up on 40 yr's old quicker than I could have imagined and I enjoy my five rescue animals. Arianna helps make it all possible, especially with my older, yet tenacious big guy. She has cared for him daily and I don't trust hardly anyone from my animals to finance to the point where I do all on my own but Arianna is the #1 person I know I can trust and she has proven that time and again. If you're searching for anyone on Rover etc., I strongly suggest and promise that you can end your search where it's at and go with Arianna. Just don't take her away from my rescued guy, Herbie:) If Rover allows, you may contact me through them for any comments, questions, or concerns. However, I've already given you a review from, what I consider myself to be, an experienced individual. I can say with certainty, you want to employ Arianna and can end your search for the right person for the job. I did my homework and due diligence far beyond I bet anyone has completed. So, this is for both those out there searching and Arianna because she is the one you want to go with if at all possible. Thanks Rover and thank you more, Arianna!! Sincerely, Mr. Guenther

About: I have always had a love for pets! I got my latest dogther 5 years ago and she is a bundle of joy! Others may say I spoil her but I call it just loving her! ! All of my friends and family count on me to care for their pets while they are away and they know that they are in great hands and I will "spoil" their baby just as much as I do my own! I am a former Elementary school teacher. I’ve also worked with special needs children/adults. I am currently a life insurance broker and I work on my own schedule. Which will allow me to care for your pet anytime. I have a girl dog that is small, lovable, and will keep your fur baby company! I can also crate your dog if need be.

We had a wonderful experience meeting Dawn. She was warm, professional, and very thoughtful in how she approached getting to know our dog, Mr. Thor. She took the time to assess whether it would be the right fit and was honest and communicative throughout the process, which we truly appreciated. It’s clear that she cares deeply about making sure each dog and family is matched appropriately. That level of integrity and professionalism says a lot. We’re grateful for her time and would absolutely recommend her to other pet parents.

About: I've been dog sitting/walking for over 15 years to many different size dogs of many different ages. I worked at pet stores and as a vet tech for many years. I have volunteered at Zoos and Animal Rehabilitation centers. I love and can take care of many different animals! I currently have 2 dogs, a cat, a snake, a tarantula, and fish tanks; but I’ve had & cared for many other kinds of animals before (lizards, birds, tortoises, etc). I am very detail oriented, and animals always come first in my life. I just moved here from Florida and have no other job obligations currently. I have my own pets but have a partner to take care of our babies while I focus on yours. I don't bring animals to my personal home but always have the utmost respect for other's homes. I make sure to follow the house rules for the animals and never leave a mess.

About: Growing up, I’ve always had a strong love for animals. Free of charge, I would cat sit for my neighbors while they went on vacation, walk my friends dogs in my spare time, and additionally scroll for hours on end through sites that had dogs for adoption. When I turned 13 years old my parents finally gave in. I’ve now had my dog (Riley) for almost 8 years. We’ve gone through nearly 8 birthdays, 7 gotcha days, countless training sessions, and an endless amount of love. She fills my heart all while simultaneously filling my camera roll. To me, she’s worth the extra phone storage payment😅 I’m currently 3rd-year college student studying biology on the premedical track. Before and after my classes begin, I’ll have plenty of free time to care for your pup. Each walk, I will be equipped with various supplies ranging from poo bags and paw wipes to fetching toys and water bowls. For home visits, I’ll ensure that your dog receives ample love and attention. I’ll do my best avoid any deviation from their normal routine!

About: Most of my experience was mostly personal with the numerous animals I had when I was growing up. But I also have experience with other friends or families' animals. During that, I have taken care of the dietary needs of pit bulls to Dachsund. I am currently a student meaning I can have more time taking care of your animals as I only will have homework and no job I have gates all around my house to avoid certain rooms to ensure no animals gets in anything. I will also ensure safety on walks

About: I have been caring for animals for as long as I can remember, anything from dogs, cats, mice, birds, ferrets, etc. I’m currently unemployed freeing me to watch, walk, play and care for your animals at anytime, any day! I myself have 3 cats, 2 conures, 3 ferrets, 2 snakes and 2 lizards! Which leaves me with little to no room to board your critters :( But I am always available to animal sit at yours! I will follow your instructions exactly after all you know your pets best! I’ll make sure to update with pictures daily or during every walk! Id prefer that you leave a detailed note on their daily routine as to keep them on the same routine. And of course I’ll make sure to leave your house just as how you left if not better. Can’t wait to meet you and your fur babies! :) I currently am unemployed freeing me to focus only on Rover! At home I’m already caring for several animals of my own and often babysitting for family members. In your own home I will follow your care instructions as to keep your dog/cat on the same schedule. I can administer oral meds, and I can handle cleaning any messes when it comes to your elderly critters.

About: I used to have another rover account and dog watching was my full time job for about 3 years. I quit for a little bit but now I am a stay at home mom and have a 4 1/2 year old golden who loves everyone and just wants some friends to play with. I am a stay at home mom and have a dog of my own so adding a few more never hurts. My golden daisy is my child she is so spoiled and if you trust me with your dog they will be too. She is full of energy and loves all dogs and people haha. She does not know what stranger danger is. I have a huge fenced in back yard. I am also able to split up my house to have dogs in separate areas when they need a break from each other. This will be my full time job aside from being a mom so I am always home.

This was my first time using a dog walker so I was a bit nervous. If I could give Jennie K a 100 star review I would! She went above and beyond to make my pup and kitty cats feel special. She is so kind and a wonderful communicator. My dog wouldn’t go on his last scheduled walk because of the rain so instead she sat with him until the time was up and she even made his is own cute bandana!! How thoughtful. Thank you Jennie for being so great!
