1. Sofiia B.
“Sofiia has taken care of my cat 3 different times during business trips I’ve had to take. Every time, Sofiia is super reliable, extremely responsible and is very professional. Even my cat, who usually doesn’t like ANYONE, loves Sofiia. I highly recommend her services!”
2. Daniele J.

3. Jenny Y.
“Second time booking Jenny! She was super flexible and able to come see Louie last minute. Was helpful in giving him and was super attentive. Would highly recommend!”
4. Sabrina K.
“I've had the pleasure of knowing Sabrina K. for several years, and I can confidently say that she is one of the most compassionate and responsible individuals I've ever met. When it comes to caring for animals, Sabrina's natural ability to connect with pets and understand their needs truly sets her apart. Our family adopted a shelter dog who was initially very shy and anxious, and Sabrina played a crucial role in helping him come out of his shell. She was incredibly patient, gentle, and attentive, always ensuring that our dog felt safe and loved. Whether it was taking him for walks, playing with him, or simply spending time to keep him company, Sabrina did it all with genuine care and dedication. Sabrina's reliability and love for animals make her the perfect choice for anyone seeking a pet sitter or dog walker. You can trust that your pets will be in the best hands with her. She's someone who truly treats every pet as if they were her own, and that level of care is rare to find. I wholeheartedly recommend Sabrina K. to anyone looking for exceptional pet care. She will not only meet but exceed your expectations, ensuring that your furry family members are happy, healthy, and well cared for.”
5. Christina & Jerry M.
“Christina and Jerry were phenomenal sitters to our two cats. This was our first time using Rover and it was such a relief to find two wonderful animal lovers that really cared about our kitties like we do. The updates and photos from them were thorough and great to get during each visit as it gave me peace of mind while we were away. I absolutely recommend Christina and Jerry for your pet sitting needs. They are wonderful and take the job seriously.”
6. Eleanor B.
“Eleanor is great with animals. She has watched many pets and always goes above and beyond while pet sitting. She is very responsible girl and you can always rely on her.”
7. Samantha C.
“Samantha is the best! She took great care of my baby and took a TON of photos. She even fed her and administered her medication. I had to change my times to an hour and a half earlier than booked last minute for work and she was even able to accommodate me. I’ve only had to drop-ins from her so far but I can’t wait to book again!”
8. Alexandria A.
“I highly recommend AAA to anyone looking for a trustworthy, skilled, and caring dog walker. She treated my beloved senior dog, Joey, with the utmost respect and affection. She took the time to observe subtle behaviors and bonded well with him. She allowed Joey to lead when appropriate but gently guided him away from dangerous or excitable situations when necessary. Most importantly, she ensured she did not provide water immediately after walks but allowed my dog to cool off naturally on a cool and shady surface for at least 20 minutes to avoid blot. She even had to administer meds a few times, which she efficiently handled. Joey was always happy to see AAA, greeting her with excitable barks and tail wagging. He stayed by her side until the end. AAA always provided updates and was very responsive to any special requests or changes in routine. She clearly takes great pride in providing the best care possible, and it was comforting to know my dog was in such capable hands. C. Boykin”
9. Cecilia S.
“Cecilia is the best cat sitter we have ever met. 100% recommending her to any cat owners that need a hand. She is responsible and always on time. Great communication and transparency. Our cats love her so much!!!”

11. Juliette O.
“Juliette was fantastic and took excellent care of my two kitties. She left incredible notes and lots of pictures for every visit putting myself completely at ease during vacation. I have a cat that needs medication and she also was excellent at providing care for him. I would highly recommend Juliette!”
12. Maryanne M.
“Maryanne has been very receptive to what my puppy Archie needed in terms of energy, my schedule needs, and puppy training to be involved during her drop-in visits. She has demonstrated patience and true love for dogs including Archie, and Archie is always so excited to see her. He doesn’t want her to leave and I feel that I can trust her to come into my house unsupervised, which is a huge plus, but requires a certain character in a sitter which she has. I encourage any dog owner to try her services. One more plus about her, she is always taking cute photos during her stay of Archie for me to remember his puppy phase!”
13. Minay B.
“I'm so glad we found Minay!! She is such a gem of a person and has such a lovely warmth about her. My dogs and the rest of my family clicked instantly with her. She goes above and beyond, you can completely trust that your loved ones are in great hands.”

About: What your pup gets on a stay stay with them: ~ At least 2 walks a day. ~ Affection galore (one of the most important parts, and they will still be happy to go home to you. :) ~ Feeding schedule and types of food stuck to (a change in food is one of the things that can make pups most nervous). ~ A peaceful time to sleep. ~ And, play! ~ and pictures and videos for you, depending on whether the pups keep doing what they are doing while I break out my phone. HaHa! My dear Poco has crossed the rainbow 🌈 bridge: April 29, 2024. She lived a very long a full life and I continue this work knowing she is still my “assistant”. So when your pal(s) stay with me they will have a personal private stay. I work freelance, so am available most of the time (more times than not). I shift from thing to thing easily and always make sure the pets' needs are the first priority. Seriously though, making sure peoples fur-children are safe is my number one priority. I don't lead with that thought of what could happen in conversation because we never want to think about it, but I take safety measures such as always checking leashes harnesses are secure and tight enough they won't slip out. I wrap the leash around my wrist in a way that will keep them secure even if they get startled. I check areas to make sure there are no tempting things to eat on walks or in any areas. I listen to pet "owners" regarding what they know about their "kids" and make sure to follow instructions.
15. Melanie P.
“Melanie is one of the biggest animal and pet lovers there is! She has two pets of her own (1 dog and 1 cat) that she is an incredible mom to and gives them both endless love. She always puts the needs of her animals first. One of her pets requires medication so Melanie would be someone that you could trust to provide extra support. I would trust Melanie as a highly responsible, respectable and extra loving pet caregiver 🥰 She has such a big heart, knows the needs of animals, and is responsible with so much love!”
16. Lailah W.
“Lailah was very responsive and did a great job taking care of our cat, Sushi, for the day on short notice! We really appreciated all of the photos she sent!”
17. Dani B.
“Thanks for taking good care of my boys again, Dani! I really appreciate the loving care you provide to them, your promptness, and written updates and photos. Also for always being so quick to respond to my questions!”
18. Isaac A.
“Thank you for taking such great care of my fur babies. First time using the service and will book again!”
19. Melissa F.
“Melissa F. Is a sweet, caring individual of both pets and people, in my opinion. She's thorough, dependable, trustworthy and will go above and beyond to provide the highest level of care and attention that your beloved pet/s deserve, when called upon for assistance. She will treat your pets (more often, family members) as if they were her own. No matter their size, age, health or personality, Melissa is always kind and courteous to us and to our cats/dog. She was a delight to work with when we couldn't be present to take care of our fur babies due to traveling or out of town needs etc.”
20. Shirley G.
