4. Phoebe Z.
“I wholeheartedly recommend Phoebe as a pet caregiver on Rover.com. Her love for animals is truly remarkable. I’ve seen firsthand how she spoils her dog, Mochi, ensuring she's always cared for at the highest level. Phoebe is incredibly responsible, trustworthy, and dedicated. She’s always eager to care for any pet and will go above and beyond to meet their needs. Phoebe is a perfect match for this job and would be a great addition to the team.”

Thanks Zoe!! ”

“Andrew has been taking care of my 8-year-old Morkie for many years, and he is truly the only person I trust with her care. His love, patience, and dedication are unmatched. From daily walks to overnight stays, Andrew treats her like his own, always ensuring she’s happy and safe. She’s always thrilled to see him. Knowing she’s in Andrew’s hands gives me complete peace of mind. I can’t recommend him highly enough to anyone looking for someone who genuinely loves and excels at caring for animals.”

About: Hello! I live in an extremely clean and comfortable apartment. I am available full-time to take care of your dog. I am seriously an animals-lover - they honestly make me so happy and I am so excited to have the opportunity to take care of your dog. I have taken care of 3 pets by myself including a dog and two cats for 14+ years. I always take time out of my day to give them a lot of love and attention. They are part of my family, and I treat them with great care, and I will definitely love your dog in the same way. Because I am available full-time working from home, I am able to provide dog boarding and doggy daycare. I live with my boyfriend who also works from home, therefore, he and I are going to give a lot of attention to your dog :) Throughout the stay, I will make sure to feed your dog, play with your dog, take your dog for potty breaks, and give all my love and attention :)
11. Brie R.
“She is great with dogs! My wife was a witness of Tobi behaving great while walking with Brie as opposed to how he pulls and barks all the time when he walks with us. She was really accomodating when I contacted on the last minute because our usual walker got sick. 100% recomendable and depenable!”
12. Leonid T.

14. Morgan K.
“Morgan has been a proud sister of her furry four-legged brother for nine years. Morgan selected him as a puppy from the shelter and has taken the time to train him to walk wonderfully on his leash, house-training, learning commands and doing tricks. Morgan would be a wonderful and loving caregiver to another person's furry companion.”
15. Alina K.
“Alina cared for my 8-month-old puppy and 5-year-old dog, and she did an exceptional job! She kept us updated with messages and adorable pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind whenever we missed our pups. Alina has also been incredibly reliable, stepping in to walk our dogs when we're out of the house longer than expected. Her communication is excellent, and she’s someone we completely trust with our pets.”
16. Hannah M.
“Hannah was amazing! Communicative and thoughtful regarding my dogs walk. I would recommend and hire her again.”
17. cassandra l.
“Leaving my pets with Cassandra felt like leaving them with a favorite family member—who, by the way, always has treats in her pockets! My dog would get excited about the long walks, and my cat, who typically gives everyone the cold shoulder, warmed up immediately. She has always shown up when I’ve needed her, very reliable and understanding. If you’re looking for someone too spoil your pets! Your in luck!”
18. Alexandra W.
“Alexandra was amazing with our little puppy! She was very responsive and sent updates on how Lou was doing throughout her time with him. She’s so sweet and took such great care of him. I highly recommend!!”
