“Kimiko is super friendly and always on time. She takes Charlie great walks (love getting the map updates). She's v understanding of dog needs such as being flexible and comforting about the walk when fireworks start. Bonus: she takes great photos of my Charlie-girl. 🐶🥰”


“Maya was incredible! She went above and beyond to care for my pet when hurricane Helene hit and the aftermath. She is so caring and loving. She is amazing at communication and knowing how to navigate when everything goes wrong. I can’t say enough about how grateful I am to her. I would recommend her with my highest praise and enthusiasm. I feel so lucky that she was there for my pet. She is the very, very best.”


“Justina was nothing short of exceptional with our babies! As a girl in her late 20s with older parents who were a bit on the fence using Rover, Justina came into the house with care and compassion and gave that same attitude with my girlies. She kept me in the loop with everything going on and made sure they were 100% taken care of while we were all out of town. I will absolutely be booking with her again!”


“Kaitlyn was wonderful with my shy, retiring cat. She knows how kitties work and was able to entice her out. She was easy to connect with and gave great updates to make the fur Mom happy. I will be booking her again.”


“Aidan is exceptionally skilled in how to approach a rescue pup like mine who has big feelings about meeting new people and needs time and space to feel safe. They have great instincts, soft mannerisms, and came up with some very helpful ideas to make the whole process less stressful. .”


“Heath was great! Very professional and punctual, will definitely book again to watch our spoiled cat. We had a worry free weekend trip knowing our cat got some quality time and kept to her regular feeding routine.”

“Absolutely amazing! Kenneth was on time and took care of my fur babies. My senior dog loved his drop ins for sure and the three walks a day. He made sure they had plenty of water and food. Cleaned the litter box too. Even played with Oreo the cat and his favorite string toy. Would definitely recommend to my friends and request him again if needed.”


“Annemarie took great care of our kitten and dog while we were away! She provided descriptive Rover cards with pics that gave us peace of mind that our furry friends were doing well at home. We would definitely recommend!”


“Baeli was terrific with our senior cat Ace. Baeli was very attentive to his needs and did a great job reporting on the visits. I felt safe having Baeli enter my home while I was away and I’m sure Ace appreciated their company.”


“Jay and Faith were absolutely wonderful! Weasley loved all of the pets and scratches he got during their visits. The updates they sent were concise and clear and let me know my baby was getting the best care while I was away! Thank you both so much!”



“It is so, so great to have a sitter that is not afraid of my zoo! As the owner of two cats, ten geckos, and ten snakes, all with different personalities ranging from shy to outright grumpy, I am very comforted by Rich's confidence in caring for them. I am a total momma bear when it comes to ALL of my critters (even the bitey ones), and I don't even worry while I'm away on vacation.”


“I don’t want to leave a great review because we want to keep Carolyn all to ourselves, but we have too! Words can’t not describe how grateful and thankful we are that we had Carolyn watch our dogs. We had an emergency situation with one of our pups and she went above and beyond to give the best care and love to our dogs. Carolyn brought our dog to the emergency vet, waited til she was out of surgery and brought her home. Administered medication and communicated with us every step of the way. She offered great advice while never making us feel bad or guilty for being on vacation. 10 out of 10 and will definitely be using her again!”


“Emma was so great with Coco! Coco enjoyed her time with Emma while we were away for a long weekend. She was happy to see us when we returned, but I think part of her wished it was Emma walking through the doors! Thank you, Emma!”


About: Hi all! I’ve had years of experience with pups of my own, as well as fostering strays and ensuring they feel safe and loved for the time being. I adore dogs and building positive relationships with them. I will ensure your dog is loved and cared for and most importantly put first at all times. I’m currently working part time, but pet care seems less like a job and more of a highlight of my day! I would fit you into my schedule with planning and communication. By walking your dogs I will use the harness and leash as provided! When dropping in, I will follow the agenda left for me and follow through with it fully.


About: I have lived with dogs since I was born and have loved them since day one. They've been my companion of mine for as long as I can remember! Being away from my family home now I miss my dogs terribly, and even more I miss general dog presence in my life! Seeing a dog while walking to class or work, or spending some time with friends dogs instantly makes my day infinitely brighter. I am comfortable and caring with dogs of all shapes and sizes (as I have had both small and large dogs at home) and will give them love and care! I love playful and calm dogs alike, I will play with them lay with them -- anything they need! Looking forward to making new fluffy friends!

Daisha J.
“If you're looking for someone reliable and caring to walk your furry friend, look no further than Daisha! I've trusted her with my puppy Vic, and I'm impressed by her responsibility and the genuine love she shows for animals. She treats every dog as if they were her own, making sure they get the exercise and attention they need. You can count on her to be punctual and trustworthy. I highly recommend her!”




Rachael M.
“Rachael is a kind a loving advocate of all animals, and loves dogs in particular. She has grown up and had dogs in her home during her lifetime, and misses greatly the opportunity to own a dog today (she is unable to own a dog as a student in a shared apartment). She is kind with all animals, and has experience with big and little dogs, cats, and even bunnies. She carries a calm and gentle demeanor with them, is patient and affectionate, and genuinely loves the companionship of dogs in particular. Whenever Rachael is out and about, she wants to stop and pet or say "hello" to every dog on the street! She is also a serious young woman and takes her responsibilities as a commitment, ensuring that care and respect of other's belongings are not harmed or damaged in any way. If you have Rachael as a sitter for your dog, you will be in good hands and never a worry of their care or well being.”
