Thank you Helena! 😊”

“June has been walking my 2 large dogs for about a month now. She is my 2nd Rover walker, and I can not believe that I got so lucky again!! She is reliable and a great communicator. The dogs love her and she even helps with my chickens. I am so thankful to have her services. I would highly recommend June to anyone needing pet services.”
10. Shannon M.
About: I’m a lifelong cat owner. We currently have 8 of our own. I know how stressful it is to leave them in someone else’s care! I will take your directions seriously and follow them meticulously. Expect daily texts and check-ins! I have a full time job, but am able to do drop ins before and after work. I am available on weekends, too. I can make myself available as needed by client! Drop in visits will include full food service (changing bowls, refreshing food and water), litter box scooping and/or changing, disposing of waste, play time and treats (as kitty is willing!), and texting client with pictures and updates. Can also fetch mail, pull out garbage/recycling, watering, checking grounds and bring in packages.
11. Nicholas H.
“Nicholas has done a fabulous job of walking Lana! Hes easy to meet and communicate with. He was immediately loved by my dog and did a great job working with her while I'm out at work. After a couple days working with him I decided he would be a great fit to walk her daily while I'm at work. I would recommend Nicholas to anyone looking for pet care while away as he has the pets best interest in mind.”
12. Eric S.
“Eric was great and actively communicated with me. Highly recommend!”
13. Eli L.
“I’ve entrusted Eli to care for my high maintenance senior chiweenie while Ive gone out of state. He was very communicative, provided me with updates and pictures, and followed all her care instructions. I came home to a relaxed and happy pooch and I could tell she enjoyed her week with Eli.”
14. Brett L.
“I have known Brett’s family for many years, so had no qualms about entrusting him with our pet and our home. Our dog Pippin is a very anxious little fellow, so we were thankful to Brett for winning him over and giving us peace of mind to enjoy our vacation!”
15. Summer B.
“Summer was friendly & took to Kona right away. She provides great detailed reports of their walks & of course I love the photos. Would definitely recommend Summer to walk your dog.”
16. Allie H.
“We always enjoy having Allie walk and play with our puppy - she is incredibly reliable and prompt, and is terrific in her communications with us!”
17. Savannah D.
“Excellent! Savannah took good care of my pittie and shared updates. Appreciated they was available on short notice to squeeze in a meet/greet then take my dog on two walks the next day. Also kindly went over the 30 minutes on both walks too!”
18. Melanie K.
“Perfect service! Thank you for coming out for the walk!”
19. Kyndal M.
“Kyndal loves animals and has at least 20 years of experience taking care of the pets of friends and family, including myself and my family. She is respectful, conscientious and friendly towards a multitude of animals which I have owned throughout the years. She is also very mindful of our home and property, as well as any specific instructions I give her in regards to pet care, etc. I can't recommend Kyndal enough. She is always my first choice for pet care.”
20. Anita M.
“Our pup, Murphy, loves Anita, and we do too. We had a meet and greet and I loved seeing how Anita handled meeting Murphy. Murphy can be a handful as she is a large puppy, full of energy and still learning her best manners. We appreciate that Anita is flexible as my household’s schedule can change week to week, and her communication is regular and timely. We highly recommend her.”
