“Marina was fantastic with Jasper, and very helpful and willing to walk him at the last minute. We brought Jasper home on a weekend and had not yet set up services with a regular dog, so it was a bit of an emergency and Marina was very understanding and warm with him! From the pictures she sent each day, he looked like he was having a great time with her. Jasper would love to spend time with Marina again, anytime!”
“Elly has been the best! She does recurring weekly walks for my pup, Winston. Always on time, leaves updates and lots of pictures. My pup is not the most active/doesn’t always want to walk but she always makes sure he gets out to pee even when he is being stubborn. Going back into the office has been a breeze due to Elly - thank you!!!”
“Lee was absolutely amazing with our dogs while we were away! I have a lot of anxiety leaving them because of past bad experiences with other sitters, but Lee completely changed that. He treated them with so much love and care, and I could tell they felt safe and happy with him. We came home to relaxed, happy pups—which says everything. We love Lee and wouldn’t hesitate to book him again. There’s a reason he has 5 stars!”
“Erin was phenomenal! She was available last minute which was a lifesaver. She was absolutely wonderful with my dog and gave a very detailed report which helped ease my anxiety.”
“Daniel has been great with taking our dog for her daily walks. He gives her the chance to take her time and explore and then does some enrichment activities with her when they get back. He is always on time and very communicative.”
“Dominique had great communication with me about our dog Lincoln. He’s got a positive and professional demeanor. Our dog is a big boy (125 lbs ) and Dominique handled him with ease. Lincoln instantly connected with Dominique, not something he always does with strangers. Dominique most definitely has a way with dogs. His interaction and care was as if Lincoln was his own pet. Dominique’s communication with me was great up to meeting and during the interaction with our boy. Very amicable person. I will use Dominque again.”
About: Back in my college days, I worked in a dog daycare with dogs of all breeds, ages and sizes. Before Rover, I mostly pet sat for my friends and family. In addition, I have 14 of experience caring for my own dogs. I understand the struggles that come with leaving your pet with a stranger so please rest assured that your fur baby will be well taken care of. I will always treat your fur baby with lots of love and kindness and adhere to your instructions to the best of my ability. I currently work a 9-5 at a hospital. I have the flexibility to work from home 3x a week. In addition, I am available most weekends and holidays. It is always helpful to have written instructions on how to care for your pet. For example, activities they enjoy most, things they absolutely hate, or undesirable behaviors to look for. Let me know their daily routines so I can do my best to make they feel like they’re with family and not just some stranger.
“Lillian continues to be not only dependable and caring but when my poor old dog was in her last days and my other dog was gross sick she went above and beyond to care for them. I am so appreciative.”
“Lauren did a great job caring for River today. She not only ensured she was comfortable by removing her harness after the walk but she also refilled River’s water and provided a treat. Bravo!”
“Mallory was absolutely wonderful with Howie! She took him on a great walk and made sure he got plenty of exercise and attention. Plus she took great photos! It’s clear Mallory truly cares about the dogs she walks. I’ll definitely be booking again! Thank you!”
“I've used Elisa to walk my dog several times over the last 6 months, and she does an amazing job. She's always prompt, and takes wonderful care of my dog. My schedule can sometimes be hectic, but Elisa is always able to take care of him. She even asked if she could bring her own dog to play with mine (of course I said yes) one day, and they had a great time together. She always feeds him and makes sure he has fresh water. I will definitely continue to use her services in the future.”
About: Calm, cat savvy sitter with a lifetime of pet care experience. I’ve cared for cats of all ages from kittens full of energy to gentle seniors who need extra TLC. Growing up with a variety of dogs, from tiny Chihuahuas to lively Australian Shepherds, I also enjoy walking dogs for exercise and am comfortable caring for both cats and dogs. I have a special knack for winning over even the shyest kitties by keeping routines consistent and creating a safe, loving environment. You’ll receive updates so you can relax knowing your furry family member is in caring and trustworthy hands. I'm currently working a hybrid job which flexible hours so I have plenty of time during work days to provide care! My remote days are typically Thursday and Friday. When I'm in office, I work from 10-3. I provide care in your home so your cat can stay in their familiar, stress free environment - no car rides, no strange places, no disruptions to their routine. As a lifelong cat owner (and current cat mom), I understand their needs, from keeping food, water, and litter areas clean to spotting subtle changes in behavior or health. I treat every cat with the same love, respect, and attentiveness I give my own.
About: I had multiple dogs that I cared for growing up. I also pet sat for my neighbors during my teenage years. During college I fostered dogs of all ages and breeds. I am currently unemployed and as a result I have unlimited time to spend with your pet. I would be available all hours of the day. I live in a single family detached house with a fenced in yard. There are no other permanent pets in the house. I live with one other roommate who is also an animal lover. I will care for your pet in my house or yours as if they were my own.
“What a pleasure Liliana is! She was so patient with both me & my newly adopted pup. She really took the time to understand both of our needs! So happy I found a great dog walker in the area!”
