“Jill has been watching my dog for a month and did a wonderful job! We did a meet and greet before she started watching my dog and I felt comfortable and Snowball loved you right from the beginning. If you need someone who you can trust and communicate with Jill is the person for your pet. I will be continuing her services for my pet. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER!”
“Rachel has walked Gus a few times now. They are great together. She is extremely knowledgeable on all dogs and cats needs. He really enjoys his walks with her - you wouldn’t guess that he’s a senior. I would definitely request her again and highly recommend her services to anyone. 10+++ stars!”
About: What sets me apart? I’ve been fostering puppies for years and have two dogs of my own (7 & 4 years old) who are my world. Your pup will be loved like family! A little about me… I’m a stay-at-home mom of 3, and during the pandemic, I began volunteering with a local dog rescue and I still do to this day! I also had the chance to foster several wonderful pups during that time. Dogs have always been a part of my life, but it was when I got my sweet Lulu (who’s now 7 years old!) that I truly fell in love with learning about training, structure, and creating a happy, balanced environment for dogs. Your dog’s safety is my top priority. With a secure fenced yard, years of fostering experience, and two friendly resident pups, your furry friend will feel right at home, loved, safe, and cared for. 🐾❤️
“Darlene is amazing with my dog and he LOVES her!! She always provides the full 30 minute walk which I truly appreciate. She also makes sure he eats before she leaves, and she is always in great contact with me. I truly always look for Darlene's availability when looking to book my dog for a walk. I would definitely say she is the best I have used on here and I will recommend her again and again!”
About: Since I was old enough to remember Ive had various types of animals both small and large. I had overseen , cared for and loved all my furry, scaled and feathered friends. Ranging from fish, rats, hamsters, birds, bearded dragons, snakes, sugar gliders, cats and dogs. I made sure all my pets were comfortable, loved and treated as family. I would treat your furry, scaled, feathered babies as I would treat my own. I am a stay at home single mother with time available regularly. My schedule is pretty flexible just need a days notice. Look forward to meeting you and your little loved ones. In all my years, Ive always made sure that I do my due diligence to make sure they feel like part of the family. By make sure they feel safe, comfortable, happy and loved.
About: Growing up with at least 2 dogs in my home since childhood, I have a soft spot for all dogs and am always willing to do whatever is needed to see the goofy smiles on all dog’s faces! Grew up with larger energetic dogs, no breed is too much for me to handle. I’m currently a full time college student home for the summer. I work long hours on weekends, but am very flexible during weekdays for both day visits and overnight care. I am strictly an on site sitter and cannot bring dogs to my own home as I do not have the proper yard or living space to accommodate your dogs to the full potential. Having experience pet-sitting in previous clients’ homes, I am always cautious of other’s property and boundaries, as well as the animal’s boundaries.
“I can’t express in words the amazing job Shoshana did. I never heard of Rover before and wanted to try it out. Shoshana came out early just to meet my dog so they could know each other. Shoshana came to walk her for the booking and treated my dog like she was her own. Her love and affection for an animal that is not hers is unbelievable. I only wish I knew about Shoshana sooner. I look forward to the next time I can use her service because I know my dog is in good hands with her.”
“dawn took the time out just to meet him. to stop over before she actually took my Bear out.as for his walk last evening she was awesome and fed him and put his dessert out for him...Definetly 5 star”
