Randy is a great communicator, he sent daily updates about our dog while we were on vacation for a week. We love the fact that he has his own dogs, they kept our dog well exercised and entertained. They all got along well. We will definitely book again!

I had to leave my sweet girl—Lin—for the first time while I traveled, I was so so worried, but Leigh was amazing! She sent me pictures everyday and Lin looked so happy and cared for, it was easy for me to relax and enjoy my vacation! I’m so glad I booked with Leigh and I highly recommend her.

About: Genuine love for pets. I naturally care for their well-being and love the affection I get from all animals. My family and I have 5 dogs of our own and recently we were adopted by our newly stray cat, Carey. We have been fostering dogs since Thanksgiving of 2017 and we have learned a lot how all pets deserve second chances and how each one of them heals at their own time. My dog walks are tailored to your pet needs, I will focus on the safety of your pet and myself during my service. You can trust that your pet will always be in loving and caring hands. Dog walking would be my primary activity next to my English classes. I will work with you to make sure that your pets needs are met in a timely manner. At home we have a fenced backyard and at my customers' homes I make sure that safety is a priority during my service. That means that I would make sure that your pet is properly secured and that is happy while we are together.

It was a great overall experience. Ximena met with myself and Remi at a local park so that he could get used to being around her. She was really communicative leading up to the stay and sent a ton of photos/videos throughout. Remi came home tired, but very happy! Will definitely be using Ximena again.

Jordyn was amazing with my dog. She tends to be a little anxious, but Jordyn had her playing with other dogs and really building her confidence. I loved that she kept me abreast of how my dog was doing by sending descriptive texts and photos. I would definitely let Jordyn sit my Chilly again!

We’ve booked Preetika to watch our husky Nova a couple times and we’re so happy we did. You can tell Preetika has experience with dogs and sends lots of pictures to put you at ease while you’re away. Nova looks like she’s having the best time when she’s there. We will be booking with Preetika again in the future.

Stephanie was amazing with our two fur babies. They really seemed to enjoy their time there (as evidenced by all the videos and pictures she sent) and I really think she treated them as her own during that time, which is all I can really ask for. I'm so thankful we've found her!

Ruaidhri was amazing looking after my Luna! She was treated like a princess and made feel safe, and she got all the pup cups she ever could’ve wanted! I was nervous leaving her as a fairly new dog parent but Ruaidhri really made everything so easy for me and Luna. An easy 100/100 experience, I trust Ruaidhri with Luna anytime!

Michelle is THE BEST!!! I found Michelle last minute in a panic and she was an absolute lifesaver! This was my first time using Rover so I was very nervous. She was soooo incredibly patient with me as I kept going back and forth deciding if I would take them with me or just give myself a break and leave them with her. I am so glad I made the decision to leave my dogs with Michelle. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Michelle checked in multiple times a day with photos and updates. She kept my dogs an extra day when I needed it at the last minute, squeezing them in before another client. She also took the time to educate me on some behavioral things I could work on with one of my dogs. Michelle truly went above and beyond from the start, up until the moment she dropped off my babies. She clearly loves what she does and it shows in every way. My dogs are in great hands with her and she is now my permanent go-to sitter. I HIGHLY recommend Michelle without hesitation!

Our two pups were so well-cared for while we were on a week-long trip. Tommie and Jeffrey share their lovely home and backyard and definitely made our dogs feel comfortable, happy, loved and at home. They worked with our shy girl to make her feel special too! We received lots of updates too that I definitely appreciated! Thank you!
