10. Kristi C.
“I was very apprehensive about leaving my senior and very suspicious German Shepherd alone for the first time in her life. Kristi was able to gain enough trust that Sage was willing to walk with her, eat normally and play in the yard to some extent. I really appreciated the pictures and descriptions she sent after each visit. She seems to have a way with even difficult dogs. Would definitely use her again!”

17. Molly T.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for family members and coworkers. Both of which around the 2-5 year old range. I’ve house sat dogs and cats at my own and in the owners’ homes as well. Feeding, walking, playing, cuddling I’m a pro at. I don’t have experience with training animals but I have an extensive knowledge of dogs and cats due to lots of animal planet as a kid and learning from the owners about each of their unique fur babies. I work 8-5pm and most nights and weekends are free. I work some weekends and holidays but it’s sporadic and I’m able to leave at about 1-2pm. I care for them all as if they were my own pets. Pets are apart of the family and should be treated with love and respect.

About: Highly qualified pet professional, 20 years of training and care experience. Bachelors in Nutrition. It's a great challenge to develop a training plan that fits each individual dog and pet parents. I enjoy the process and seeing dogs catch on ; )Dog walking is a great way to consistently reinforce training. I never pile 10 dogs together for my time benefit. The walk is for the dog, and I can find them a compatible dog or two to make a walk fun, or help your dog learn a behavior. It's about the dog! Walks and Sitting include a fur brush-out and tooth brushing for dogs who tolerate it. As a dog nutritionist, I can help you have a healthy pup, or address allergies without your having to spend $$thousands at the veterinarian. I have letters of recommendation. Posted with the photos. My clients understandably didn't consent to distributing their email to the app ; ) Meet and greets are free. FAST RESPONSE- Please call me through my Rover profile. Make the phone ring 😉 All the best to you and your bestie. Full time pet care. I've also become a house cleaner for a couple of my dog walk clients. I can do a deep clean on your house while you are away, or help you in an organizing project. I care for pets like I'm the grandma, spoiling them with love. I'm also a trainer, so I'm very consistant in my communication and training with them. It helps them feel secure when you are away. I'm very safety conscious. Experience really helps think 3 steps ahead.

“I have know Milciela for about 19 years. She has always loved animals. I have left my dog, MeiMei, with her many times, and she has alway taken great care of her. Your pet will be in good hands with Milciela.”
20. Deborah M.
“Deborah has been an absolute blessing for my cat and me. This was my first time leaving her for an extended period, and Deborah, along with Madi, went above and beyond in providing care, love, and patience. They made significant progress with her, who was initially very shy and reserved. Their daily updates, complete with videos, were not only reassuring but showed their genuine affection and dedication. I can’t thank them enough for their exceptional service and highly recommend them to anyone needing a caring, attentive pet sitter.”
