6. Mary B.
About: I have taken care of many dogs and love to bond with them. Family and friends have let me pet sit for years and who doesn’t love hanging out with a cute dog. I am currently a part time student and in my off I go on walks and play with my own dog at home. I also go to dog parks to play with my two dogs. I will keep eyes on your pets and play with them and get their energy out. I will also make sure your pet has a new best friend.

8. Carolyn & Jeremy C.
“Carolyn was incredible! She was communicative, helpful, and clearly very experienced with animals. She took wonderful care of my 2 cats and dealt with my cat who is newly on anxiety medication (and doesn’t take nicely to having a stranger stuff a pill down his throat) so well!! I would absolutely use her again the next time I go out of town! :)”

“Thank you so much Danielle! She did a great job with my pup and stayed in contact with me! This was the first time I’ve ever used Rover and would recommend Danielle anytime!”
14. Rhiana Q.
“Rhiana is a cat-sitting pro! She was thorough in doing a meet/greet prior to taking caring of Eddie & Ella for the first time. She is good with animals (and people!). We knew we were in good-hands, so were comfortable with her caring for them for 5 days. Her check-ins were consistent & timely for both daily visits. Both cats, with very different personalities/needs, warmed up to her quickly and it was evident they were comfortable with the routine. They were at ease when we returned home, too. There are a few things to do for each daily visit, and Rhiana was good about it all! She is also a good communicator. We will rebook her in the future anytime she is available that we need pet help!”
15. Emilee K.
“Emilee has made regular drop-in visits for my pup. She always gets my pup outside for a good work-off-some-energy session, and takes good care of her. Emilee also is reliable, punctual, and flexible; all great qualities in a sitter!”
16. Christopher H.
“Christopher is everything you could want in a pet sitter! He doted on my dogs and kept them safe and happy. He was conscientious and reliable, and took great care of the house and all dog-related messes. Also great with communication and flexibility. I would happily work with him again!”
17. Doris S.
“Doris did a wonderful job of checking on our dog on short notice while we were gone for the day! We appreciate the extra attention and cuddles she gave our girl, Mila!”
18. Melissa L.
“Melissa was great! She was very friendly and good with my dogs. She showed up on time, followed our instructions, and sent us updates. We would definitely recommend her!”
19. Brynna S.
“Excellent job and really goes the extra mile!”
20. Danielle R.
“Danielle has been great when watching my dog Bella. She is always sweet and playful and Bella is always so excited when she comes over to visit. Danielle has a lot of experience having grown up with dogs, and I would trust her to watch any of my family members' pets.”
