Bonnie did a great job introducing our new puppy to the neighborhood. She fed, watered, and walked him each day, right on time. I love the pics! They helped put this new fur mama's mind at ease. We look forward to the next vacation week to hire Bonnie again.

About: We are a trio (Riven, Matt, Jason) that have mostly work from home schedules. We have individual Rover verified profiles, and this one is Rivens. I have lived with cats, dogs, and animals of all sorts my whole life. After growing up on a farm and being a founding member of the local 4H Club, my love for animals continued to fostering through rescues, volunteering, and my own pets such as my now passed 17 year cat named Moya, whom I had had since she was a few months old. For dogs, I am very active, and will love taking your furry family on long trails, swims, or dog parks! We around a lot of dogs over the course of the week, so we are unable to on any dogs that will not do well with others for more than an over night. If you have feline family, I am happy to play with crinkle balls, laser pointers, or be a lap as needed. For boarding, my Matt and Jason (also on Rover) and myself are home 95% of the day and can usually accommodate most pick up or drop off time, frequent potty breaks, and walks. For drop in visits we are avaliable to work in the Shirely and immediately surounding area. We have some flexibility with the schedule that we can work out if you're interested! We offer lots of human and other dog socialization in our home. We have people and dogs visitors in home as well as on walks to parks and rivers.

About: Adopting Benny, our now 6-year-old Australian Shepherd mix, has been one of the most meaningful and rewarding experiences of our lives. He came to us as a rescue, full of potential but also in need of patience, consistency, and care. Australian Shepherds are known for their intelligence, energy, and sensitivity—and Benny is no exception. From daily walks and mental stimulation to routine training and lots of affection, caring for him has been a constant, joyful commitment. He thrives on structure and attention, and it’s been incredibly rewarding to watch him grow more confident and connected as the years go by. Benny has taught us so much about resilience, communication, and the powerful bond that forms between a pet and their family. He’s not just a pet—he’s truly part of our family. Pet care is a daily routine for me. I'm the one who feeds, brushes, spends time with Benny and walks him on a daily basis. I provide nothing but the best for Benny. He gets toppers on his food, supplements, daily attention and walks. I'am trustworthy, reliable and will treat your animals as if they were my own.

About: Hello! I’m Lindsay and I have been caring for animals since I was a child. It started with my Aunts dog, Marvin, he was a boxer and we had an incredible bond! I grew up with him by my side and cared for his needs. I have had cats my whole life and love them so. I have a very energetic pup of my own who is now 5, Jasper the Catahoula! I trained him since he was 10 weeks old and he has grown to be the best boy. I am an animal lover to the core. I work as a Nutritionist on a hybrid, mostly remote, schedule. I am available most mornings and afternoons and evenings as well as mid day check ins on days I do not have to be on site! It is rare that my own dog has to go to day care since I am able be around for most of his needs 🙂 Any dogs safety and happiness are my number one priority. Making sure they consistently have fresh water, get fed at the correct times with the correct amounts, get to play and let out energy as well as getting their sleepy time!

Meg is wonderful! She was on time or early every day. She clearly loves dogs and has I believe two of her own. She is instantly engaging and warm. And I will use her from now on to walk my dog on a daily basis because my business has gotten busy again. I strongly recommend her.

I can´t feel happier and more satisfied with Saemus walking and taking care of Lola! Lola is my beautiful doggie, a pit bull mix (almost 70 lbs.) who was used, abused and abandoned twice... until we found each other 4 years ago in a shelter in Boston :) Even though she has done a lot of progress, her anxiety is still so high, specially when she meets a person for the first time. Her energetic behavior has made difficult to find a person who wants to take care of her, or just wants to walk her (even using Rover app). Truly. And now is when Saemus appears. He was so sweet and patient with her since the first moment, making her to feel more relaxed and comfortable. He walked and played with Lola until she got exhausted... Definitely, I recommend him to everyone and especially if your doggie needs a lot of care and attention. Additionally, he was so flexible and kind with me. He has been like a gift... I am moving back home to Europe with Lola at the end of this October. Hopefully I would had contacted Saemus a lot of months ago!! But definitely until our flight, I will reach him every time I need someone to stay with Lola. Saemus is absolutely the best sitter you can have!

Our 2 beagles loved their walks with Fran! She let them take their time up and down our road and take their time to follow their nose from any critters that’s walked through the neighborhood from the night before. Fran was very prompt, reliable and very nice to work with. Look forward to scheduling more walks !
