“This was my first time having Colene come to visit and walk my sweet girl and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! She had excellent communication and showed my little Lula some love and attention while I had to be away for the day. Will be using again!!”

“Brian did a great job checking in on Mochi when I had to work all day. He took him for a walk and made sure he went potty. Gave Mochi lots of treats and attention! Thanks again ?”


4. Rachael V.

“Rachael is very reliable, she’s always on time and spends more time with my dog than she has to which shows that she really cares and wants to make sure my dog is well taken care of while I’m at work.”


5. Richard M.
About: I have the ability to communicate with all animals since I was 3 yrs old. I have learned a lot in my lifetime when encountering with animals and what they have said to me. I also can help with any issues that an animal might have or need. I deal mostly with cats, but I have worked with various dogs in the past. My schedule is very flexable as I work part time in the spring through fall doing pruning for people and I do shoveling for a landscape company in the wintertime. I treat all animals as if they were my own. I let them be themselves and watch and observe what they do and what they should not be doing. I interact with them to make them feel like I'm the new member to their family. I currently have 8 cats, mostly all strays. I have a 3 legged cat in my group as well as 2 that just turned 1 yr old.

“Dani would make an excellent choice for Rover. She has always had a deep love of animals. She is trustworthy and punctual as well. Dani would be an excellent person to rely on for your pets needs. Her schedule is somewhat flexible so she would have good availability. Thank you for considering her.”

18. Hannah M.

“This was my first time using Rover, and Hannah was excellent throughout the process: communicative, helpful, and proactive in scheduling a meet and greet before her first scheduled visit with my dog. And of course, my often-difficult dog loved her instantly. Highly recommended.”

“Our favorite ❤️”


20. Allison W.
“Our dogs love Alli- she gives both our dogs individual attention and leaves us at peace when our dogs are in her care. She loves our pups almost as much as we do- and when we’re out of town they get excited to see their favorite friend. Could not recommend Alli more!”
