3. Kade M.
“Kade took care of our pup and new kitten when we were in a pinch for a sitter. They took the time out of their schedule for a meet and greet and had no problem following our care instructions. Our pup and kitten took to them immediately and we felt so reassured they were safe under Kade’s care! Thank you so much Kade for your help, and we would absolutely recommend booking Kade for any of your sitting needs!”

6. Aidan S.
“Aidan is a highly intelligent and detail-oriented person in every aspect of his life. He maintains an exemplary relationship with his dog, Tulip, and often treats her as if she were his own child. If that same attentiveness is reflected in Aidan's approach to all pet caregiving (which I can guarantee it will be), then any and all Rover users would be lucky to have him.”

Now own an American Foxhound I found injured on the street and took him in. He is the most expensive “free dog” I have ever had. We were meant to be together. One dog is not enough for me. My Fur baby loves frens. Fur babies have 24 hour supervision. We love our furry frens. I have a 6’ Privacy Fenced yard, fenced and gated porch. I stay at home to supervise them and spoil them. We love the company. My Snoopy is very well socialized. I’m home full-time. 24 hour supervision. My dog loves frens and I love dogs. Your fur baby will have a quiet, safe place to visit while you are away. I have a friendly disabled dog that loves company. We cannot keep Pitbulls or large dogs due to my dogs disability. We are here 24/7 right now. Love having visitors. Can handle health issues. Licensed nurse. Come visit!

“I love booking Sydney as a repeat walker for my little dog! She’s been flexible and reliable and I will definitely book her services again in the future. My dog was so excited to see her again!”
17. Shelley C.
“Shelley is so sweet with my pup! Very communicative as well, always leaves a nice note about how the visit went, which makes me feel like my lil guy is in good hands :)”
18. Melissa N.
“Melissa was great with Metzy! We had a meet & greet beforehand, which always makes me feel so much more comfortable with a new walker. Melissa was so easy to communicate with and sent great updates and photos from the walk.”
19. Noah D.
“For many years I had my own dog walking and pet sitting business. Noah worked for me and I found him to be caring and responsible with my clients pets. Each pet has their own specific needs when it comes to care and Noah was attentive and respectful of those needs. As an employee, I found him to be reliable. As a pet owner himself, I have had a chance to watch him interact with his own dog and observe his responsiveness. I would trust him with my own pet without reservations.”
20. David M.
“I have been using David’s pet services for almost 6 years now. I have one dog, Charlie a 11 year old and Abe, a 6 year old cat. David has always provided exceptional service and goes above and beyond. Both of our animals enjoy his company! He takes our dog for walks, spends time, and will always send us photo updates of both! He is also patient with our cat and takes time to make her comfortable with his stay. You can tell he enjoys animals! We have hired David for single day tasks, as well as week long stays where he would stay in our home. David has always left our place in a neat and tidy fashion (sometimes better than he found it). I would absolutely recommend him to anyone.”
