“Haley was wonderful with my crazy pitty boy. She gave him so much love. She walked him and when back inside she would love on him and cuddle a bit before she leaves. I really like that. She even told him daily she loves him. Mel6ed my ❤️.”
2. Jada P.
“Jada was great with both our dogs, she was especially good with our puppy who was a little timid at first but they seemed to really warm up to her fast. We are really glad to have found Jada, we will definitely be booking with her again!”
3. Karly C.
“Karly is great!! My dog Kaia was a little hesitant about going too far from home with someone she only met once, so Karly just did what she was comfortable with, and adjusted with her as she got more comfortable. Kaia loves to chase lizards and roll in the grass and I really appreciated that Karly wasn’t on a power walk with her, she just let her enjoy being outside for an hour and potty, and get her some love and a licki mat, which was everything I wanted. 10stars”
4. Riley M.
“Riley is amazing! She was able to help me last minute which I was so thankful for. She took great care of my Evie Lou. Will definitely be contacting her in the future!”
5. Scarlett M.
“Pawmommy is the best pup sitter ever. Very accommodating, truly loves pets as her own and just an all around pleasant cheerful person. Whenever I drop off my pet Maltese, I know I’m going to walk away with a smile because the owner always has something kind to say with a big cheerful smile that always brightens my day. She is very passionate about her craft and it shows in her loving relationship with the pets.”
6. Jennifer W.
“She did amazing! On time, responded quickly, and always keep me updated on how my pup was doing sending pictures! Thanks again 10/10 recommended in the future”
7. Amber L.
“My fur baby, Danny, has been spoiled by Amber while staying in her care. She loves dogs and they love her back, just as much. From cuddles to treats, she makes dogs feel safe and welcome in her home.”
8. Leslie A.
“I have used Leslie’s services several times when I have had to travel to look after my elderly Boston terrier and my elderly cat. As both my pets are older and require a few extra requirements (meds and extra walks) I was concerned it might be hard to find someone to fill our needs, but Leslie was an amazing find. She was a conscientious and patient listener when I expressed what Kitty and Belle needed and I knew I would not have to worry. I recommended her to others in the neighborhood and I am so glad we were able to find a trustworthy sitter.”
9. Courtney D.
“Courtney is the absolute best dog owner & would take care of anyone's fur babies as if they were her own! She is incredibly responsible, kind & honest. There would be nothing but comfort knowing she was taking care of any cats or dogs. Courtney would make an amazing asset to Rover!”
10. Danielle K.
“Danielle has made a wonderful impact on my fur babies while I am away. I can trust that they will be well taken care of and well fed. I love that she updates me on them while I am away and they are always so happy and responsive to her. She follows my instructions to a T and I can trust that she cares for them and takes the time to make sure they feel loved. She truly has a warm place in her heart for animals.”
11. Nancy C.
“Nancy has been great with our dog Bart! Always on time and also gives us great tips as new dog owners. It’s obvious she cares about the animals she works with.”
12. Gladianne A.
“She was very attentive to my dog needs, she even stayed to play with him for a while before leaving”
13. Joseph H.
“Joseph is the best! He comes mid day every day to take my frenchie out while I’m at work. He’s attentive, has great communication, and is very reliable! My little guy loves him and I would recommend him as a sitter to anyone who is looking!”
14. Vanessa P.
“Vanessa is a wonderful person. Over the 20 years I have known her, she is one of the kindest and most caring individuals you will ever meet. She has taken such wonderful care of my cat and my dog, as well as my brother’s dogs on many occasions. It is so hard to leave the pets you cherish, even for a short time, but you can rest assured that while you are away, not only will your furbabies be cared for and in good hands - but they will be loved and adored all the same.”
15. Stormi J.
About: I’ve always had a passion for caring for animals of all kinds. Growing up, I was surrounded by rabbits, cats, dogs, hamsters, and more. Friends and family know me as the go-to person for pet advice and rehoming support. With years of hands-on experience, I’m here to provide your pets with the same love and care I give my own. I’m a stay at home mom which makes me available to care for animals full time, I’m not away from animals for more than a two hour time - but only if we need a store trip. Our home is fully fenced in, the animals will never be outside or alone with my children unattended. We only take animals from one family at a time.
16. Imani T.
“I had Imani first watch our Labrador a few months back and our dog just fell in love with her. My wife and I went out of town and we came back to a clean home and of course a happy dog. Imani is incredibly responsible and we've hired her a few times since. I definitely recommend her to anyone in need of a sitter.”
17. Micayla P.
“Micayla is responsible, dependable, and nice! She makes sure that she communicates well and very professionally. She loves all things dogs. I definitely would recommend her to anyone.”
18. Kyla D.
“Kyla is an exceptional dog walker. She is very responsive, and reliable, my dogs took to her right away and she has never let us down.”
19. Rodney F.
About: I have had experience growing up with two two dogs aiding in training and care. I also have had an adopted 6 month year old that was scarred from being at the shelter and working him out of his shell thanks to my experience working for a year and half at Petco dealing with everything from generalized caregiving to health remedies and understanding of generalized health. My availability does fluctuate due to my being in retail management with no further constrictions during holiday. This fact alone has kept me from being a dog parent myself due to a continuously changing schedule personally. With proper notice I can make sure my schedule can align with expectations. My apartment is animal free apartment with no risk of anyone getting along with another. I’m in a open complex in that there’s no restrictions of breeds. I’ve rescued two dogs from my complex due to my my rigorous schedule I can’t regularly have a companion of my own, however I can accommodate for time periods to make sure they’re taken care of properly.
20. Caitlan W.
“Caitlan is so amazing with my three dogs and many cats. They love when she comes by and they hate to see her go. My Pomeranian has trust issues after being a stray when she was a pup. Caitlan was able to win her over. She is always who I call when I need someone to watch my pets when I'm out of town. Never disappointed.”
