“Arianna is by far the top of the top!! She isn't just in the top 1%, she IS the top of the .01% of anyone on Rover, or anywhere else for that matter. Let's just say I've been there/done that with a close family member as a veterinarian and personal experience volunteering at a different veterinarian hospital for an extended amount of time, which was almost 40hrs/wk. after certification through classes and hands on training, which I pretty much already had since I've rescued animals as early as I can remember as well as my parents doing so prior to my existence. I'm coming up on 40 yr's old quicker than I could have imagined and I enjoy my five rescue animals. Arianna helps make it all possible, especially with my older, yet tenacious big guy. She has cared for him daily and I don't trust hardly anyone from my animals to finance to the point where I do all on my own but Arianna is the #1 person I know I can trust and she has proven that time and again. If you're searching for anyone on Rover etc., I strongly suggest and promise that you can end your search where it's at and go with Arianna. Just don't take her away from my rescued guy, Herbie:) If Rover allows, you may contact me through them for any comments, questions, or concerns. However, I've already given you a review from, what I consider myself to be, an experienced individual. I can say with certainty, you want to employ Arianna and can end your search for the right person for the job. I did my homework and due diligence far beyond I bet anyone has completed. So, this is for both those out there searching and Arianna because she is the one you want to go with if at all possible. Thanks Rover and thank you more, Arianna!! Sincerely, Mr. Guenther”
“Mary has been a great dog walker for our kid Marshall. She’s attentive, courteous, and Marshall enjoyed his time with her. She will be walking him on a weekly basis to give him a break from long days at doggy daycare. She sent lots of photos and videos which was perfect and eased my mind! Looking forward to working with Mary more!”

“I had a vacation out of state and Felicitas truly made me feel like I was still at home taking care of my own babies. She was super responsive, and on time every time. She updated me on one of my dogs limping as soon as she noticed it and sent a video displaying the problem. The pictures she sent were also very cute and funny. My babies adored her. Next time I go on vacation I would absolutely use her again.”
