4. Guadalupe P.
“This was my first time leaving my dog home while going on vacation. I was nervous because he's 16 years old and I've never used a dog sitter before. But Guadalupe was great. She was very sweet with my dog, Motley, during the meet & greet. I could tell he was comfortable with her. She walked me through how to use the Rover app and was very accommodating, pleasant, and flexible with the holiday. She communicated well and I appreciated the text and photo updates. The house was exactly as I left it when I got back and I could tell my little guy was well cared for. Thank you, Guadalupe!”

12. Faith Q.
About: I have always grown up with dogs, cats, and many other furry and scaly animals in my homes. Usually multiple at the same time! I do extensive research to make sure my pets get the best care they could have. I am also in college to be a veterinarian to further my knowledge. I am currently working for some delivery apps, so I will always be driving around on most days, during the day and when the sun starts to go down. It would be awesome to work the day, and stop by a few times to get my pet fix. Extra bonus if I would watch overnight when it starts to get dark! Saturday night and Sunday day is for family. I am currently doing some research on dog training/care, as I am getting my own dog in the summer! All my other pets are in great health. In your own home, I assure to be patient and use problem solving skills to meet the needs of your fur baby! I am also great at communication, so I will always keep you in the loop:)
13. Nancy H.
“Nancy was such a kind, punctual, and professional person. I would highly recommend her for all your pet needs. She took the worry away from someone new stepping in, while my regular dog visitor was on vacation. I will definitely use her again.”
14. Ariana Y.
About: I have taken care and self trained dogs from small to large breeds. And I would love to take care of your pup while your away. I am always home on the weekend and home by 12 or sooner on the week day. Your pup is not going to be left alone. My partner works from home and is all in on helping make sure your fur baby has a happy safe time here. I have a fenced is yard. So we can play outside for a little bit plenty of water and a baby pool if they want to cool off.
15. Tanya K.
“Tanya has cared for my dog, Finn, many times. I trust her completely… actually, I trust few with my beloved dog but I totally trust Tanya. Tanya followed all instructions as well as went the extra mile providing excellent all around care. She walked him several times a day, made sure he had his “finicky” food and sent lots of pics to me throughout his stay. I will continue to use Tanya’s services whenever we need it. I would highly recommend Tanya for anyone who needs tender loving care for their pets. Gerry”
16. Liliana B.
“Millie had a great time with Liliana. She was caring and fun. Liliana helped me out in a pinch and was able to drop in on Millie at the last minute. I'd definitely work with Liliana again.”

19. Maria C.
About: I've had many pets growing up. Ive taken care of my friends cat for 6 months, coming by and providing food and play time. I currently care for my 14yr cat and I love animals of all shapes and sizes. I do have a full time job. I'm willing to come by during my lunch break or after work 2 or 3 times a week for some TLC. I ensure that animals stick to their usual route, have treats to stay near me, and make sure they have plenty of food and water. Portions vary per owner and so do the limitations of treats. You tell me the quantity and I will stick to it. Everything you do to get your fur baby ready for a walk, I will do too.
