“Mohammed is simply amazing. I had to go on a quick business trip and for the first time I was unable to take my service dog with me. I was so anxious about it and Mohammed gave me reassurance and was great taking care of Sky. She was a bit shy in the beginning but he was soft and patient with her and she quickly openned up to him. Mohammed shared pictures and videos of Sky all the time and carefully followed the instructions I provided. Overall my experience was great and highly recommend him for caring for your dog. 10 out of 10 service!”

“Anna was awesome! Very communicative and my dogs (and rabbit) loved having her stay with them. I was out of the country and she made sure I was updated the whole time. I felt very comfortable and relaxed :) we will definitely be booking with Anna again!”

“I recently had Siu-Lin stay at my place with my 16.5 year old Ronan yorkie who just had MAJOR lobectomy surgery . I was nervous leaving anyone with him since he is in healing mode. Overall, it was a positive experience and I'm glad I found her She was very caring and attentive with my dog, and I could tell he was comfortable and well looked after. She was understanding when I reached out , especially since it was our first time using her services. I would definitely be using her again in the future and I highly recommend!”

About: I take the utmost pride in providing excellent pet care and supervision. Dutifully fulfilling long walks, enriching playtime, precise feeding, and any special needs required. I am currently exploring career options and visiting family during the process. My schedule is very flexible throughout the week and weekends. Working best in the early afternoon but willing to come by early or late. In a clients home I am meticulous about taking dogs for their scheduled walks. It’s my mission to ensure they are comfortable and safe in the space while owners are occupied or away. I am also very cautious about the state of the house. I always make sure to vigilantly secure the home where clients, and their animals reside. I never leave the home without making sure everything is in its correct place.
“She took care of my puppy for the day. Skilled in caring for pets, she knew how to keep him happy and well behaved, putting in more effort than expected, walking and caring for him. I came home to a happy puppy. She is a lovely person.”

“Alex was amazing, He took care of our 9 year old dog for 10 days, stayed at our place for a few days and then he took peanut to his place when he thought she would be comfortable. We found her happy and healthy when we got back home. During the whole time Alex was sending pics and videos and letting us know how the day went, that gave us peace of mind and we were able to enjoy our time away. I highly recommend him and we’ll use his services again, that’s for sure!!”

“Samantha was terrific! We are very fussy leaving our labrador, Paddington, with anyone. We met with her beforehand, and we instantly knew that everything would be fine. She is extremely reliable, kept in touch with us consistently, and we were very pleased with her stay. We would happily use her again.. We would recommend her to anybody!!”

About: I have had multiple dogs growing up and it has always been a fun thing to do when friends and family trust me/rely on me to watch their pups! I have taken care of a handful of breeds. and I love all breeds!! I grew up with a chocolate lab, yellow lab, white lab, west highland terrier, poodle, mini golden doodle, husky and many more! I know that pup care is crucial and that all of them deserve the best handled with lots of love and wags. I know how to clean up potty messes whether it's on accident, outside or inside on a pee pad. Throw up is also normal and with my share of animals, I definitely know to clean it up and care for the dog afterward. I love playing with them and their favorite toys, feeding them/giving them treats and overall just getting to know them and love them as if they're my own. I can handle walking large dogs and small ones and gaining control without harming them if they get a little out of hand. I'm currently just moved back here and in search of a job, so I will be able to devote my time to you and your animal. I currently live with a westie and two cats of my own. So taking care of animals is part of my daily routine. I currently do not offer pets to stay in my home as I just moved here. I am more than able and willing to sleep with your pup, properly crate them and just treat them with love and care as if they are my own pets.
About: My name is Edyta & I grew up in a home with many pets. I’ve also spent some time working in animal care, such as Pet Smart, & I’ve learned that every animal deserves to be loved, & given the opportunity to be your friend. I have plenty of open availability, including last minute bookings! The daily routine includes taking pets out for play-time, being walked 3 times a day, & sometimes a stroll through the park. Pets get fed 2/3 times a day depending on owners preference. I have a fenced in backyard & crates (if preferred) suitable for pets of all sizes. I live in a beautiful & welcoming neighborhood with plenty of open & clean space!

About: I had my own dog from when i was very young to when I was around 17 years old.

I have a small fenced yard and a dog of my own that is very friendly with other dogs! I am sure to exercise, play, and properly take care of all pets whether cat or dog!

Weekends are ideal but I can be available after 5pm on weekdays or early morning. I live in a pet friendly apartment building, in a dog friendly neighborhood!

About: Growing up we always had dogs in the house, from Chihuahuas to Labradors and I am the current proud parent to two cats!

About: I took care of my first family dog from when she was a puppy until she passed away from old age at 15 years old. I’ve also taken care of other family members elderly dogs and walked them before. I work from home so I have flexible availability in my day and can walk dogs throughout the day while their parents are at work. I have a 7-year-old cat, Rye, and a 1-year-old puppy, Whiskey. Rye stays engaged with plenty of toys, a moving water bowl, and an automatic feeder and litter box. I make sure he eats healthy food, stays well-groomed, and gets plenty of love. Whiskey gets the same level of care—proper nutrition, exercise, training, and affection—to keep him happy and healthy.
“Grace was wonderful with our dog and cat. She was quick to respond, punctual, and sent us updates throughout her stay. She even left us a little present at the end which was such a sweet gesture. We will definitely book her in the future and would highly recommend her.”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We couldn’t have asked for a better first Rover experience! Our 7-month-old White Swiss Shepherd, Dahlia, has never been left with anyone before, so we were nervous but Nancy completely put us at ease. She was so kind, sent us lots of photos and updates, and Dolly had the best time playing with her. When we had an emergency and couldn’t get home on time, Nancy even stayed extra without hesitation. She truly went above and beyond, and we’re so grateful. We’ll definitely be using her again!
