Susan was great!! She took care of all my dog’s needs as I requested, and spent a great day of time with them. I will definitely use her again if I need to be away.

About: I've had pets around me since I was a baby. I had dogs growing up, and I've been around them ever since. I've been around 20 pound dogs, to 120 pound dogs, nothing is too much or too little for me. Currently I don't have a job, but I am just looking around at dog walking agin. I am supposed to go into the service in about a month, so im trying to make some extra money before I ship off! In my house, I have a fenced in yard, that keeps my pitbull safe, and happy. I would love to be in someone’s house where they have a fenced in yard, but I know that’s not ideal for everyone. If they don’t that’s perfectly fine, we just take the fur baby out in a leash to be outside then!

Abigail took care of our 6 year old dog, who is recovering from knee surgery, and our 8 month old puppy for a day. She really helped me out, and I am grateful she was able to accommodate my schedule changes. Thanks, Abigail.

About: I've always pet sat for my friends and family. I started when I was in high school. I sincerely just love animals and it makes me happy to help others being around pets. I just do Doordashing in my free time. So I can work the two apps around each other! I started Rover last year but stopped to try other things instead and take care of my health more. I'm currently down 110lbs and ready to take care of your beautiful animals! I have my two cats right now. I'm also the one my friends and family always ask to take care of their pets when on vacation. I'm the type of person to stop and move the turtle out of the road or help a lost dog find it's way back home.

We had a great experience with Seth! Our anxious dog seemed comfortable with him from the first time they met. He sent really wonderful photos of our girls each day and kept us updated about how they were doing. We get nervous about leaving our girls with strangers, but we would definitely have Seth take care of them again. He left our house clean and the three dogs seemed well cared for.

About: Animals are everything to me… taking walks, to car rides to watching movies snuggled up on the couch. They are what makes the world go round. I’m currently working part time , so I’m only available to watch your fur babies overnight on the weekends. However I can do walks and drop ins thru out the week and weekends. Currently I stay in an apartment in Marine, Illinois. I have no fenced yard but a park and the trail are steps away from my front door. I also live part time in Bend OR , and have 3 awesome yorkies with a fenced yard. Tons of walking trails and dog parks in Bend ❤️

Madison was an excellent sitter and cared for my pets like they were her own! She is very professional, has excellent communication, and asked detailed questions to ensure everything was covered. Madison played fetch with them and gave them cuddles and checked on them during her work lunch breaks. Seriously, would book her again!!

Susan is always our first contact when it comes to watching our dog and two cats. She's reliable, consistent, and my very anxious dog seems to really enjoy her company.

Susan was wonderful and did everything we asked for. She left her space during a house sitting trip as good or better than she found it and took great care of our pets. We will absolutely use her again in the future.
