“Jessica is absolutely incredible! She provided outstanding care and service for my high-energy dog, and I couldn’t be more grateful. From the start, she was professional, reliable, and clearly experienced with handling energetic pups. My dog took to her right away, and every walk left him happy and well-exercised (which is no easy task!).”

About: I HAVE ALWAYS HAD PETS; CURRENTLY I HAVE 3 RESCUE CATS. FURTHER, FOR LAST 4 YEARS, I HAVE DONE MANY IN-HOME SITS FOR DOGS, CATS AND CHICKENS OF DIFFERING AGES AND SIZES. WITH IN-HOME SITS, I WILL USUALLY STAY TIL MID-MORNING THEN HANG AT MY HOUSE OR ERRANDS FOR A FEW HOURS. I THEN WILL RETURN IN AFTERNOON, DEPENDING ON PETS' NEEDS, AND THEN RETURN EARLY EVE FOR ALL NIGHT. FOR IN-HOME AND DROP INS I AM VERY FLEXIBLE IN SCHEDULING. I WILL TAKE GREAT CARE OF YOUR PETS; I KNOW HOW PRECIOUS THEY ARE. MY 3 CATS RULE AND EACH HAS A UNIQUE PERSONALITY. YOUR PET WILL, OF COURSE, MISS YOU BUT I WILL MAKE TRANSITION EASIER BY GIVING LOTS OF LOVE AND ATTENTION. I WILL BRING IN MAIL, TOO.
“Jordan was great. She was also EXTREMELY accommodating. My other dog walker fell through, so it was very last minute. But she was able to help me out. I will definitely use her again.”
“Joni is amazing! She took great care of my dog throughout the summer. My dog is definitely not the easiest dog to handle and Joni was such a trooper. Joni was always very communicative and attentive and I can’t recommend her enough.”
About: Howdy! I have been a dog and cat lover since I was a wee tot. I grew up with four labradors on a farm. Then I ended up caring for two stray cats. And now I am a proud owner of a pug, frenchie, and a rag doll cat (they live elsewhere at the moment). I love going for walks and ensuring my pets get adequate physical activity. I also take pride in how many commands my pups can follow. I have dog sat for many of my friends and neighbors (big and small dogs) and would love to care for any cats needing somewhere to stay. Additionally, I am very comfortable bathing and/or grooming pets. Currently I home visiting family, so I have a very flexible schedule. Your pets will get the same love and attention they did during the pandemic period when you worked at home. Typically I like to socialize with the pets as much as possible and go for long walks. But I will follow the rules you set for your pets (ex: no dogs on the furniture if that’s your home rule). I have a small fenced in backyard, but I live near a decent sized park where we will walk.
“Jeff did a great job walking our dog and provided ample updates—He also gave our cat some treats and provided a picture update of her as well! We will use Jeff again”
“Amanda was so great to have! Her communication was amazing and she assisted with making sure my dog had everything she needed while I was gone. I plan to rebook with her anytime I’m out of town again!”
About: I’ve been surrounded by pets growing up, and we have always had cats. I am proud to say I helped train my latest family puppy all the tricks she knows! I work part time but only on Friday and Saturday nights. I only do pickup shifts. I’m out of school so my schedule is fairly open. I live 2 minutes away from a park, making a great spot for dogs and outside cats. My house is one floor, so it is easy to get in and out.
“Angelee has been a HUGE help the past couple months walking Nadia on holidays & doing last minute bookings! Would definitely recommend!”
“Chay has been pretty reliable in walking our dogs while we (spouse and me) work very busy weeks. We greatly appreciate her very much! Would recommend :)”
“Ashleigh is great with pippa. She’s always on time, responsive, and takes great care of my dog!”
“Mackenzie is punctual and so great with Belle. Belle likes to bark at squirrels, but Mackenzie is very calm and gets Belle to keep walking. A feat for a Black/Tan. Will definitly use her again.”
“Trevor is great! He was so good with my energetic 1yo Labrador. They bonded on 2mi walks and she was happy and tired when I got home. He is flexible, reliable, and conscientious. Highly recommend.”
“Duchess had a great time walking with Jubilee. Jubilee stepped in and saved a friend of mine who was experiencing post surgical difficulty with professionalism and poise. Coordinating this from many states away proved entirely possible because of Jubilee's response and attention to detail as we navigated this tumultuous time. Couldn't be more grateful or satisfied with Jubilee or Roverdotcom. Without these two amazing two partners, I don't know what we'd have done.”
About: I am a dog lover! My 4 year old golden is my heart and I would love to help others out with their fur family. Caring for animals is a passion and enjoyable for me I work from home for my full time job and my schedule is incredibly flexible so could do those mid day walks that are tough to swing. Pets are family, so it’s important to treat them and provide top notch service! I treat any pet I care for as I would want my own dog treated
