1. Meenal P.
“Meenal is by far our first choice when we need a dog sitter. We have used her service on several occasions, the last one for a period of three weeks. During that time, she kept the house neat and tidy and stayed in communication with us on a regular basis, eliminating the stress of leaving the dogs and house behind. Above all, Meenal is trustworthy, and our dogs love her. We would be happy to provide personal references upon request. She also provides a discount for repetitive clients which is great.”

10. Olivia N.
About: I grew up with a menagerie of animals, and worked + lived with them for much of my adult life. I volunteered in several animal + cat shelters in my teenage years, and have experience with cats and dogs of all sizes. I am experienced in handling distressed animals, and have stayed overnight with animals both on Rover and for my community. I am patient, kind, and direct, and have a flexible schedule. I am currently not working a typical job, so my schedule is flexible! I will update this section accordingly as that situation evolves. Thank you for your understanding :) I take extra time and attention when it comes to animals - sensing how they feel and what they need, particularly as a new person in their home. I will follow the template you provide, and supplement with love and play.

12. Michael S.
“Michael is a very caring person who is wonderful with animals. He is so calm and I think animals pick up on that. No matter if my dog Chewbacca has not seen Michael for a week or a month Chewbacca is always happy to see him. I won’t leave my dog with many people but Michael is one of them.”
13. Lizette A.
About: My name is Lizette and I live in San Diego in the college east area. I am a dog lover and always have been since I was little, as we had multiple dogs growing up. My fiance and I now have a fur baby of our own, his name is Bubba and he is a sweet chocolate labrador mix (see photos). I will provide extra love and care for your pet as if they were my own so you can have peace of mind when you are away. If you are boarding your pet, we have a big fully fenced backyard perfect for them to run around and enjoy whenever they'd like. I am also happy to walk your dog or check in on them during the day when you are away. I am very transparent and will provide frequent updates. I would love to meet you and your pet! Please take a look at my schedule and message if you have any questions! I am currently available for boarding, dog walking, and check-ins mainly during the week. I will keep my calendar up to date for weekend bookings as I am out of town some weekends. I am fortunate enough to work from home full time so I am able to keep a close eye over your pet throughout the day. I will keep open communication and can send photos and updates throughout their stay. They will have the luxury to go in and out to the yard as they please for frequent potty breaks and play time.
14. Brooklyn F.
“Brooklyn is wonderful! Our dog Scooby LOVES her to pieces. So do we. We've hired Brooklyn on three separate occasions when we've left town. She is very flexible & will come to take Scooby out to play for an hour each day. She's naturally good with him, takes her time, is thoughtful and sends details about their time together, including photographs. We will absolutely keep hiring her as long as she is available.”

18. Hannah R.
“Hannah, Richburg. I’ve been friends, with Hannah a while now, and Hannah is a well minded, hard working, and caring individual. Hannah shows nothing but determination and discipline. Whether it comes to studying in school, or focusing on self reflection and life, she goes the extra mile to achieve said goals and then some more. There’s no one else I would recommend besides Hannah as a perfect caregiver.”
19. Narae K.
“Narae is the most kind dog sitter I've ever met. She got along with my dog almost immediately even though my dog is quite a shy one. Dogs can recognize who are the harmless and friendly people and my dog knew she was one of the kind at first sight. If you are a dog mom or dad, you know what I am talking about. Her baby 'Denver' was very sweet and gentle. He got along with my baby very well. Narae sent me pictures and videos while I was gone so I knew my baby was doing well. If you are looking for a trustworthy, down-to-earth, and affordable dog sitter or walker, Narae is the one.”
20. adriana a.
“My best friend Adriana is very responsible for her action and her surrounding. She is super friendly, I even sometimes think 'wow, that was little too much for me, lmao'. But she is real animal lover and knows how to deal with the problem related to animals. if you let her watch your pets, i am sure her positive energy and attention-to-detail skill will be used to take care of your pet and your needs. ^^”
