Will def be going this route for vacations in the future”

“I trust Eli fully, and that's the highest praise I can give. He has helped me with my dogs Duke and Riley (rottweilers) since he came to school here. I have Ring cameras and can see that he is always on time and spends more time with them than I requested. I can tell they know and love him by the way they act with him when I am around. He is a polite and kind young man and a responsible pet sitter. It's obvious he has grown up around dogs his entire life because they love him and he loves them.”

“Margaret will be a huge asset to Rover.com. In just a short time she will be one of the most requested pet caregivers! Customer service for clients/pet parents will not be an issue. Customer Service has been a huge part of her career in several different industries. Margaret is not only caring and gentle she is a very kind person. As long as I have known her, she has had dogs and also several cats. Margaret takes all responsibilities given to her very seriously. Over the last 12 years she has cared for 3 of my dogs and my cat. Her compassion for animals and their needs will warm your heart!”


17. Madeleine O.

“Maddie has been amazing since day 1. She responds quickly and is wonderful with my dog. When I book a walk with her I know I can trust that he’ll be well taken care of. It gives me such peace of mind knowing he’s in good hands when I can’t be there.”


18. Ceanna B.

“Ceanna came in clutch last second and took my pup out for a walk. She even brought her doggo along so my little girl would have a friend. 10/10 would recommend”


19. Madison G.
About: I have taken care of my own family animals (a dog and a cat) since I was a little girl including walking, feeding, and other daily tasks. I will love for your fur-baby like it is my own and will put them first just like you do. I work a remote 9-5 so my schedule is extremely flexible! I can also commit to longer stays as well as overnights if needed. I am down for a sunrise or sunset walk, a lunch break feed, or all of the above! I will care for your pet and your home as if it were my own and leave your house better than I left it. Nothing comforts an animal more than staying in the space they know and the best part of coming back from a vacation is a clean house!


20. Lezlie & Shannon P.

“Lezlie is absolutely amazing with all animals and goes above and beyond to provide excellent care. Very kind, thoughtful and understanding to each individual dogs needs! She is a genuine person and animal lover. She has been very patient when it comes to Australian shepherd Chloe who is super high energy! I would recommend Lezlie to anybody that wants perfect animal care and a non stressful doggy stay!”
