“Mathew was so thoughtful in getting to know our pup and making sure he was well-exercised while we were away. He provided great notes and pics so I didn’t worry or wonder whether our silly pibble was behaving himself, lol. Thanks Mathew!”


2. Deb W.


“Deb took my 8 year old Aussie for our first rover walk today. She came before the walk when I was home for a meet and greet the previous week. Deb messaged me to let me know she arrived for the walk and sent detailed updates with photos. Tesla can be shy, but Deb did a great job! My Tesla was happy when I got home from classes this evening and napped while I did homework indicating so got good exercise today! Thanks Deb, looking forward to our weekly walks :)”

“I give Ursula 5 stars and this is not something I would do typically this early in the services you guys are providing but my Barney spotted her in my parking lot and I cracked open the window so he could get her scent and bam ! He immediately loved her,no matter who it is Barney will bark at any one coming up my stairs and he did not Bark when Ursula came up AND he whimpered when she left. She updated me every step of the way with multiple pictures and lastly she has gave me peace of mind so i can focus on work .”

20. Grace S.
“Grace owns two dogs herself, one of which is blind and requires a significant amount of help. The amount of care and attention that she gives both dogs, along with managing a dog with special needs, demonstrates her love of animals and dogs in particular. She makes for a great caregiver, being both punctual and kind. Her blind dog requires multiple medicines and she never mixes them up or misses a medication time. Her sensitive but collected way of dealing with dogs makes them understand that she's here to help and that she's in control. I would jump at the opportunity for Grace to care for my dogs.”
