2. Lucy R.
“Lucy totally had our backs with a last minute booking. I gave her 14 million instructions because I’m a lunatic and not only did she follow every one of them to a T, she surpassed all expectations we could have possibly had because she’s a pro. Can’t thank you enough Lucy, we really appreciate you.”

7. 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!”
8. Chelsea L.
“Patient and has a good vibe all around. Happy we went with her! We feel comfortable having her with our dog. He can be a lot but she doesn’t seem shy or uncomfortable being around him.”

11. Chandrea B.
“Chandrea was amazing!! She provided excellent care. We appreciated her communication and pictures with each visit, letting us know how Charley was doing and getting around. We knew she was taking great care of Charley, so we didn’t need to worry while being away. THANK YOU Chandrea!”
12. 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.
13. Tanya K.
“I have had Tanya sit for my pets several times. I have 2 birds, fish and two very needy dogs so she has to come to my home to take care of them. Both my fur babies have medical conditions that required Tanya to give them several different medicines at certain times and she has to hand feed one of them. I know that my animals are in good hands and are being treated like one of her own. Tanya has gone above and beyond a pet sitter - she has taken my dogs to the vet, given them baths, hand feeds them specialty food that she had to mix and she even (one time I boarded them - never again) made sure she went and got them so they were waiting for me when I got home. Tanya is a very loving, giving and responsible human and all my fur babies luv her and want to go home with her. I am overboard when it comes to my pets and I treat them better than I do humans - and with Tanya watching them I can actually relax and enjoy my vacation and not worry about them. She is a one lovely human. I am available for questions anytime.”
14. Cristina R.
“Cristina is a wonderful pet caregiver. She has grown up with dogs, cats, and birds her whole life and has extensive experience caring for them. I definitely recommend her for your next dog walk or pet boarding.”
15. Selena S.
About: Hello! I’ve had dogs my whole life (yorkies, labs, german shepherds) so I have a lot of experience with different breeds and their mannerisms. I love to play with animals and give endless belly rubs! I am a medical student and have varying ability. I’m free almost every day as I just watch lectures at home. I’m just not available during the times I have exams or rotations. 90% of the week I’m free though! I am a big lover of animals so if you have a needy/clingy cat or dog, I’m the perfect sitter for you!! I’m happy to vacuum up around litter boxes, handle their waste, walk/play. (:
16. Lindsey M.
“Lindsey has been reliable, punctual, and available for both communications and my dog watching needs. She is flexible & understanding when I need to update. I feel confident that she is engaging and genuinely enjoys my dog.”
17. Alicia D.
“Alicia was extremely responsive and very easy to work with. We made a mistake with our initial booking and she was flexible and gracious when it came to making an adjustment. We will definitely be reaching back out to her in the future”
18. Jessica J.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs, we currently have 4, I’ve helped train them, I love all breeds, but I also can ignore the puppy eyes when they need correcting. I’m currently unemployed so I have all the time to fit the needs of any animal, baby or senior. I do go home every morning when I sit to feed my ferret. We have 4 dogs, however one doesn’t get along with new animals, so I will only be available to house sit. I’ve dog-sat for many family friends, and am good about keeping to the pet’s schedule.
19. Scott A.
“Loved working with Scott. We have a new puppy and he was super flexible with all of our last minute changes.”
20. Tara & Trevor H.
“There is no one better to watch your pup than Tara. She goes above and beyond for her own two fur children, as well as any other dog that comes in her path. She offers all the right advice, and all the right love. Your pups will be able to play, relax, and enjoy some quality time with Finnley and Kiko. There is also a lovely dog park across the street that she uses daily and knows just about every dog there. Your pup is in great hands if you chose to stay with Tara, I know this from personal experience as she has watched my 8 month old lab quite a few times.”
