“Adriana, was great! She was professional, gentle with our dog, sent pics, and communicated throughout the time. I would book her again.”


2. RIDVAN A.
“Hello, I would recommend Ridvan to anyone for taking care of their animals. Ridvan has a lot of love to give the animals. One of his hobbies is that he goes to dogs beach in OB and taking pictures of the animals with his professional camera. And, he sends them to their owners free of charge.”


3. Paris P.
“Paris walked our dog and was an absolute pleasure to work with! She's incredibly sweet and maintained great communication throughout, even sending us photos. She was thoughtful about the weather one day too, adjusting walk times when it was too hot outside and ensuring our dog stayed safe.”


4. Shelly T.

“Shelly was amazing! She came to meet Joey and Blue right away and they immediately fell in love with her! Shelly kept me posted with messages and pictures! I did not worry one moment about my pups my entire vacation:)”


5. Janice Y.

“Leaving our dog with someone new used to make us anxious but then we found Janice! From the moment they met, our pup lit up, and we could instantly tell she treats every dog like her own. She sent regular updates, followed every instruction perfectly, and went above and beyond to make our dog feel safe and loved. When we picked him up, he didn’t want to leave! We trust her completely and wouldn’t choose anyone else.”


6. Luz O.
“Luz is great! Super communicative and Chico loves her!”


7. Sofia V.
“Sofia is wonderful! She was great with my Golden Retriever, and gave updates during the visit. She was easy to get in contact with when I had a last minute plan change. I would recommend her to anyone with a pet that needs caring, knowledgeable help.”


8. William C.
“I highly recommend Billy as a caregiver on Rover! He’s a fantastic guy who genuinely loves animals and has cared for his own dog, Kyrie, for many years. His patience, responsibility, and kindness make him the perfect person to trust with pets. Billy goes above and beyond to ensure dogs or cats are happy, safe, and well-exercised. Anyone looking for a reliable and caring caregiver would be lucky to have Billy!”


9. Genevieve N.
About: With over 10 years of experience as a dedicated pet owner, I take great pride in providing loving, attentive care to every animal I welcome into my home. I currently live with two wonderful dogs: Sage, a calm and gentle 9-year-old retired Greyhound, and Willow, an energetic and social Greyhound/Doberman mix puppy who thrives in the company of other dogs. My passion for animals extends beyond care—I also enjoy capturing their unique personalities through photography. Be sure to check out the photos I’ve taken of past guests! My goal is to ensure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and truly at home while in my care. I work from home on an alternate schedules. I am home most weekends, but please let me in advance. So that I can dedicate time to play and care for your pet! I live in a house with a securely gated, spacious backyard that offers plenty of room for pups to run and play (see photos!). Your pet will also have the companionship of my two friendly dogs.

12. Jocelyne N.
About: I have cared for all types of dog breeds since I was 9 years old. Friends and family have been able to rely on me for walking, feeding, bathing, giving medication, play time and basic training their dogs for years. I have 2 fur babies of my own so I know how important it is to care for dogs, I care for every dog as if it were my own! Feeding: Every dog is different when it comes to diet so I pay close attention to detail when it comes to feeding them. Anything from dry dog food, raw feeding or cooking their meals, I can do. Medication: I have had a lot of experience when it comes to giving medication to dogs. I can give oral medicine, ear drops, ointments, and I’ve even done IV bags. Walks: I prefer to take one dog at a time if there are multiple in a house hold, mainly larger breeds. But I can take 2 at a time if they are small breeds. Bath time: I can offer a basic bath. Shampoo, scrub, rinse and try. No grooming, aside from brushing. Training: I can do basic training with the time I’m with the dog. Sitting, laying, give paw, stay. Play time: My favorite part, playing with the dogs! Throwing the ball, fetch, tug of war, etc! Even just simple belly rubs or keeping your dog some company :) This is my only form of work so I am available at all times during the day weekdays and weekends! My schedule is very flexible & can accommodate to you & your pup! I keep a very close eye on your dog, they will be near me at all times. I like to make sure they don’t get into things whether it’s in the home or in the backyard. I double check gates/doors are closed.


13. Nikoloz K.
“Nika is very kind and responsible! He shows a lot of love for animals and is super gentle with pets of all kinds. He does great with my cat, Pork Chop, as well as other family dogs and cats. I can always trust him to do the right thing and I would definitely trust him to care for my pet!”


14. Danielle P.

“Danielle is a great walker and communicator. Danielle communicated how the walks went and sent cute pictures as well. She is responsive and friendly- I could tell how happy my dog was with her! I highly recommend!”


15. Carisa R.
“Carisa has always been a natural with dogs, she loves them and they love her!! She is very trustworthy, honest and extremely loving with your four legged family members, as if they belonged to her. Growing up she was never without a dog in her lifetime, even having 5 dogs at one time. No one surprised that she would want to start a business of either watching your dog in a loving home or taking them on a walk when you can’t. You will have peace of mind that your loved ones are being take care of Carisa R. I would highly recommend Carisa R. worth every penny!! 💙❤️🐶🐶❤️💙”

Pet care is part of my everyday life, I work with dogs daily through training, behavior work, and enrichment.

I create a calm, secure, and structured environment that helps pets feel at ease. With clear communication, gentle leadership, and a relationship-based approach, I address each dog’s unique needs—building trust, confidence, and lasting comfort throughout our time together.


17. Jillian C.
“Jill has pet sat for me a few times! Her love for animals is unmatched and my dog can feel that right when she walks through the door! I would trust Jill with my dog (who is my life) no questions asked. In fact, my golden does not like anything to do with exercise but she jumps for joy when Jill walks in. 100/10 recommend if you want your pet in the hands of who’d treat your pet like her own 😊”


18. Brandon T.
About: I've loved dogs ever since the age of 14 and have been lucky to take care of four of my very own. There is no dog I'm afraid of in terms of size, care, or breed! I'm currently unemployed so I'm using the site as a way to have side hustle money before I get employed in research. Just shoot me a text and I'd be happy to accomodate to your schedule! Wages and schedule are negotiable! I have taken care of multiple dogs throughout the course of my life. There's nothing I'm not comfortable with when it comes to dog care including but not limited to: baths, food making, walking, treat distribution, and maintaining dog wellbeing.

“Maria is the sweetest and Christian loves her 💫”


20. Alyssa H.
“I am a pet mom of a French bulldog named Koko for about 3 years now and for the first years Alyssa was able to help me care for Koko as I worked a full time job and care for a family. The love and affection she gave our family dog was beyond our expectations. Dogs have a good sense on people and Koko had a hard time getting comfortable outside our family and when Alyssa came to help Koko attached to her so quick. He felt the love she had and the care she gave him was beautiful. For 2 years she helped us transition to being a dog family and I couldn’t have asked for more! Alyssa still dog sits for us and visits us often. Alyssa is amazing with pets.”
