“Erin is kind and professional, and a great listener and communicator. She was prompt and my dogs absolutely loved her, including my anxious dog who is not quick to trust. Erin made sure to ask questions about their care which I highly appreciated.”
“Thankful to have found Lindsay! She did a great job with our shy former feral cat, Loaf, patiently coaxing her out from under the couch and playing with her. Loaf had a great time. Looking forward to hiring Lindsay again and highly recommend”
“My lab had a great time with Jason. Got a nice walk every day. I’ll be back in the area Every other week And will definitely be using him again. Thanks, Jason.”
“Samantha is on time and does a great time caring for our dog!”
“Having Heidi check-in our our 3 cats gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were away. She went above and beyond to assure that they (and our plants) got the care they needed and we would entrust her to look after our kitties the next time we travel. Heidi is very experienced, friendly and responsible. We definitely recommend her!”
About: I’ve been a pet owner for 11 years. I work as a vet assistant. I am trained to read an animals body language and look for signs of distress. I am a very patient, caring, compassionate and empathetic individual. I genuinely enjoy meeting and caring for all types of animals, and I look forward to caring for yours! (: I do work full time, but otherwise I have open availability. I am willing to work around my schedule to help meet your needs (: I feed them, clean up after them, give them medication if needed, bathe them, walk them as often as needed. If your animal is on a schedule of any kind, it will be cared for accordingly.
“Lucy went above and beyond our expectations caring for our dog. We would definitely be using Lucy again!”
About: Friend to all animals.✨ I have walked and dog-sat two pitbulls (ages: 2 and six months) on a weekly basis since the fall of 2022. My additional clients include mutts, a pug, a belgian shepherd, dobermans, and more, ages ranging 10 weeks - five years. I have stuck with some clients for over a year until their schedules changed or they moved, and with some dogs on a temporary basis. I am intent on working with the owners to adapt to their training methods for their fur-babies and enforcing those gently. Walks are enjoyable for both the dogs and me: I keep it lax and adapt to what they want in that moment. I’ve taken care of dogs, cats and fur-babies alike since I was 15, when I would dog-sit and walk for family friends. I’ve had varying dog sitting and cat sitting gigs (both day visits and overnights) since then, some of which included overnight stays. Pet care is great supplemental time with pets and additional income while I full work remotely. I am flexible to work with clients on their schedules/their adorable pets schedules. I am also available some nights and weekends. My top priority besides providing love, fun and stimulation to your pets is their safety: both for their sake and my own. Making sure that we discuss your yard set up especially your fencing, and indoor set up (do you have animal gates/baby gates set up, areas they’re not permitted in), etc. Communication is key and I would love to know what works for your animal: what boundaries are set and what they’re comfortable with.
“Thank you for hanging with Lewy! Communcation was awesome, all my animals were comfortable. I will definitely book again!”
“Amy was a wonderful sitter for our animals. We are so thankful for her help. She was very good at communicating with us while we were away so we knew everything was well at home.”
About: I’ve taken care of many animals every since I was 10. I hope to meet your cute furry friend soon because I know their pawfect! I’m currently available Monday , Tuesday , Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday. I will always have plenty of time for furry friends! If needed I will try to extend my days! I have a fenced yard where your pup can run around and go potty in. I also have two dogs that your pup can play with. I also have many crates that can be used if needed!

“This was our first time using Rover. Theresa immediately put us at ease upon meeting her. She was an excellent communicator and made us feel comfortable leaving our baby in her care. She was responsive, professional, and positive in all communication. She left us clear and detailed reports so we didn't have to worry. Our easy going but reserved cat warmed up to her much faster than most! We highly recommend Theresa and very much hope to have her sit for our cat again!”
“Gillian stopped by ahead of time to meet yara. She was great, interacting an playing with her. An yara seemed very happy jumping and running around. I would definitely recommend Gillian to care for all my animals with no worries.”

“Alexa has proven to be a reliable and compassionate walker for our Bernedoodle, Molly. Our dog is very active, and playful, and has been a challenge to train to adapt to our work/life balance. However, Alexa rose to the occasion and has been a rock we can rely on for daily walks, and anytime we go out of town. I don't know what we would do without her. We would trust her with any large dog, as well as any animal.”

Krystin B.
“To whom it may concern, Krystin has dog sat and walked our two dogs for about 3 years now. We have two pitbull/rottweiler mix breeds one female and one male. She has gone above and beyond to care for our pets as if they were her own. She has always been kind to our animals and quick to report back with any minor issues she had with them and was also willing to go the extra mile to help out and find some solutions to any small behavioral issues we may have come across. Lastly she has always been reliable and at times rearranged her personal schedule to meet our needs in any cases where we needed some helping watching the pets on quick notice. I hope this can help to anyone looking to have Krystin care for or walk their pets in the future. Thanks,”
