“Gabby is great. She takes care and gives extra love to the dogs in her care . Her attention to detail is amazing and she truly cares about the dogs like they were her own. I will most certainly be using her again for all my future needs regarding my dog.”

“Highly recommend Robert! Just had a newborn and things are stressful here and want to make sure my dog gets extra love and doesn’t feel abandoned. Our dog seems super happy after all his walks with Robert. Very glad to use him as a resource especially during this season of life!”

“Was the first time we used rover and didnt wanna leave our baby girl alone while we ate dinner so we decided to book with him. He was able to get our pup walked with a quick booking process and had great communication the whole time.”

“Tina is excellent. I’m using rover right now because I just had a baby. My dog is very reactive towards other dogs and is a puller so it’s difficult to walk him with a baby. I’m obsessed with my dog and feel awful I cannot give him the love and attention I normally give him. Very thankful I found Tina. She communicates well and I felt at ease as soon as my dog saw her. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again. She even walked my dog a bit extra so that made me and my dog very happy. He came back in a good mood. She’s great and reliable so don’t hesitate to book with her!”

“Tessa I appreciate you so much & so does monkey. I hope this is a start of a new and ongoing relationship. I definitely recommend you and want to book you for the future. We have found our perfect person. Thank you Tessa, see you soon dear.”

“Vivian was great from the meet and greet to the walk! She is clearly very experienced and loves all of the animals she cares for! She went the extra mile and made sure the dogs were hydrated and the water was refilled, sent an adorable report card and updated me during the walk. She also took plenty of pictures! I know with her our dogs are safe and well taken care of! Can’t wait for our next walk/ visit! Can’t recommend her enough!”


“Kortni was very professional and always kept me updated with my two babies. She did constant check ups and was always on time. If she had questions she always got in contact with me to let me know what to do or what she was doing. Thanks kortni!”

About: I am a furry friend lover and I have taken care of pups of friends and family and have boarded them at my home several times. My house is safe and pet friendly wherein your precious buddy can stay comfortably. I have built a safe fenced yard where I enjoy playing with Nala, our dog. I live in safe neighborhood and walk her or let her out multiple times a day. I have a 4 year old healthy female Cavapoo who is very friendly and enjoys walking and playing with other dogs. I regularly take my buddy Nala (my pet dog) for walks and would love to take yours too!!! My pet brings a smile on my face every morning. My day starts with taking my pet out for walk. Pets are free to roam in our house and make our home as theirs during their entire stay. Treats are shared (if owners are okay). Weather permitting free play in safe fenced yard in morning and afternoon. In evening playing fetch play, run around or relax outside as per pets mood. Myself and my family members give a short walk to my buddy Nala three times a day and in evenings we take her on long walks in neighbourhood, dog park, sometimes on dog friendly beach. I have a pet-friendly home with fenced yard wherein I provide safe and secure outdoor space to my adorable 4-year old healthy cavapoo who will play and will be a great company to your precious pup!! I live with my husband and 2 girls who love furry friends and they help me in taking care of them. We all enjoy playing with our pup. I respect your pets routine and will feed the pup as per the schedule and will walk your buddy as per owners instructions.
About: I’ve loved animals ever since I can remember. From hamsters, dogs, cats, bunnies, fish, geckos, etc. I have had them all! I am always a reliable source for pet care when friends and neighbors are away. I currently work weekends and am attending school in the evenings a few days a week- so I have all day to play and care for your fur babies! I have a fenced in yard and two cats who are accepting of other animals. I can crate or provide a comfy space for your pets so they feel pampered and safe!

About: I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, and I’m a pet owner myself. I’m very patient, attentive, and truly enthusiastic about animals. I’ve cared for puppies as well as senior dogs, and I understand that each pet has unique needs and routines. I’m also knowledgeable about basic training and enjoy helping pets feel comfortable, safe, and happy. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home with a very flexible schedule. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day, including regular potty breaks, playtime, and multiple walks. I also have a fenced yard and a safe environment where dogs can relax and get fresh air. I love having pets as part of my day and making sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and happy. My home provides a safe, welcoming environment for pets. I have a large fenced yard and plenty of indoor space for your pet to relax and play comfortably.

About: Love dogs and would love a chance to play with yours! Used to be an athlete in college and definitely willing to run around to tire out your dog. Also I live close to a dog park and lots of great trails to walk on. My apartment is dog friendly and will be able to walk around my area at night as well without any issues. I currently have one dog, a toy poodle and a cat. Both are very friendly, although the toy poodle just wants to cuddle all day and the cat just wants to eat nonstop. The toy poodle Mocha, enjoys playing with dogs and people. My cat is also very friendly. I’m available to pet sit before 8a and after 5p on weekdays. If needed, I may be able to stop by midday on weekdays. On weekends, I am available all day. I will clean up after your pet and try to take in any mail/packages. I will also try to take out any trash from cat litter or food cans while you are away.

I can not thank Tina enough she was wonderful ! I was nervous because my dog is new to my home and he is nervous still and this was my first time using a dog sitter lol so I had asked her if she can go to my house a little earlier then planned to check on my dog and she did and it was all incredibly successful !

Michael helped me and my pup Jelly out under short notice, and did a great job. He instantly connected with my pup and let her get comfortable with him. He is very reliable and we really appreciate his help! I would recommend him to anyone looking for great care. Thank you Michael!!
Hannah was amazing with my Tallulah! First, she was available on such short notice and really helped me out when another sitter cancelled. She went above and beyond and made sure Tallulah was loved and cared for. I felt completely at ease. She was so accommodating since my pup is dealing with a few health issues right now. She wrote a long note at the end and sent lots of pictures. I highly recommend Hannah and definitely want to work with her again!
