2. Adam S.
“Adam is responsive, caring and attentive! He goes above and beyond the call of duty (eg walked Finn for an extra 15 minutes to let him enjoy the weather) I would recommend him to anyone who loved their pup!”
3. Daniela P.
“Daniela was wonderful with my dog Mickey and I am so appreciative that she was able to walk him for me due to a last minute travel delay. I look forward to having Daniela walking Mickey again!”
4. Haley S.
“Haley Mae Sichel has a love of all animals, especially cats and dogs. There have been pets in her life since the day she was born. She is very attune to pets needs such as daily fresh water change, timely feeding and, if necessary, medicine routines. Haley volunteered at her local veterinary clinic while in high school. She not only maintained cages and their establishments, she was able to witness surgeries. She is an exceptional caregiver, reliable and trustful. Thank you. Diane Sichel”

About: I have dog walked/sit my entire life, and love to meet and spend time with all kinds of dogs! I recently lost my 15 year old lab mix, so I have experience with dogs of all ages! I just graduated college and I do not have a job yet so I am available all day/night Monday through Friday. I have helped both roommate and my sister with dogs from rover before and had the most incredible time, so I am so excited to try it for myself with good experience under my wings! I have not started working yet so I am available all day Monday through Friday. I am very active and love to walk and spend time outside in general, so having a pup to spend time with fits in to my schedule perfectly! I am incredibly attentive to detail so any instruction given on how you want me to best care for your dog will be followed with care. Additionally, after having my own dog for 15 years and sitting throughout my live, I have great intuition when it comes to dogs and can figure out on my own how to make sure they are as happy and healthy as possible!
8. 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!”

17. Emily M.
“I can't recommend Emily highly enough as a dog sitter! I’ve known her personally as a friend for years, and it was clear from the outset that she has a genuine love for dogs. She treats my dog like he’s a part of her own family, offering him tons of affection and attention. Not only is Emily incredibly caring, but she’s also extremely responsible across every aspect of her life. I’ve always felt at ease leaving my dog in her care, knowing that she will follow any instructions to the letter. She communicates regularly and goes above and beyond to keep me updated. Highly recommend :)”

19. Andrei S.
“I was anxious at first to leave my dog with a stranger but the moment my dog met him he went to him and gave him a hug and a kiss and here I knew I can trust Andrei. Andrei was on time each and every time and he was generous with his time with my dog. I would definitely return to Andrei. Highly recommend!!!”
