1. Amy R.
“Amy is beyond communicative, responsive, and professional. I am at a school for the Navy in Newport, RI and brought my dog with me. Amy has been doing stupendous drop-ins for my cat, who remained at my home in IL, while my husband and I traveled to RI. My dog ultimately didn't acclimate well to the lodging situation so I needed to get him back home to my husband in IL ASAP after my husband had gone back to IL. I contacted a pet transporter to bring him back to IL and Amy let me do a unique add-on service of picking up my dog and getting him to my house while my husband is at work. I cannot wait to use her for all my future pet sitting needs. She also brought in packages that were delivered to my home while doing my cat drop-ins. She sends lots of informative pictures documenting her drop-ins, too. I cannot stress enough that you should book whatever services she offers!”
2. Amy & Lamar F.
“Amy is wonderful, I felt completely comfortable having her check in on my pets…cats, rabbits and fish! She is so reliable, and confidently gave my clever kitty her meds with no problems everyday. I cannot recommend Amy enough!”
3. Zoey & Madison J.
“I always feel so comfortable leaving my kitties in Zoey & Madison's care when I leave town. I get the cutest updates, they're very timely, and they were even able to give my cat his medication very easily (which can be a challenge for me). Definitely recommend these ladies!”
4. Scott J.
“Our Dog took to Scott almost instantaneously! Which is very unusual as he is typically very timid and shy at first. Scott did a great job following instructions and had a great walk with little Carl! I would highly recommend Scott and we definitely will be using him again in the future!”
5. Erica G.
“Erica was great with our Lola! She was on time for the drop-ins, sent us many pictures and updates each visit. Lola was very comfortable with her and she really enjoyed her company.”
6. Maria W.
“Maria watched our cat, Dale, for 10 days while my husband and I were out of town. This was our first time using Rover and my husband and I were both a little hesitant, but Maria blew our expectations out of the water. She responded to messages very quickly, kept us informed of her drop in times, and sent us lots of pictures of our fur baby while we were away. We will definitely be hiring Maria again for our next out of town trip.”
7. Paige F.
“Paige did a wonderful job. She was prompt and quickly built trust with Maggie. Great visit cards and updates. Will definitely book with her again.”
8. Bryana P.
“Thank you! Will definitely reach out again!”
9. Laurie F.
“Hire Laurie! Laurie was so detailed in her care for our dog and we will most definitely be hiring her again!”
10. Brian K.
“Brian was great with our two dogs. He included photos each time he checked on them and they enjoyed their time playing in the sun with him! He even brought in a couple of packages for us! Would definitely recommend - will book with him again!”
11. Karen C.
“Karen is fantastic. She sent photos and updates. Was on top of checking the gates when a roofer left it open. I came home to a happy, well cared for dog. Thank you!”
12. Crystal B.
“Crystal treated Jelly as if he were her own. She used every minute of her time for Jelly's well-being. Always on time, and highly communicative with detailed updates with photos. Thank you, Crystal”
13. Suzanne & Benjamin G.
“We so appreciate Suzie and Ben! They took great care of Lucy and even braved the foul weather to make sure our pets and home were safe. Thank you.”
14. Klara D.
“Klara is great! She did an amazing job taking care of my kitties. She kept me posted every day on how they were doing and sent me lot of pictures.”
15. Sydney Z.
“Sydney took the best care of our cat Cooper and I could tell when we got home that he was given lots of attention! She was super thorough with all of her notes about her visits and took lots of great pictures for us to see our little guy while we were gone. Thanks for taking such good care of him!”
16. Nefertia J.
About: I have experience with dog walking and sitting for over 2 years. I enjoy running with dogs as well. I hope I get a chance to take your dog on a walk I’m currently a medical student taking a year off, spending time with my husband who is in the Navy. My schedule is pretty flexible. I am available! I do not have a fenced back yard. However, there is a park I live close by I can take your dogs to. I enjoy going for long walks alone and with dogs!
17. Grace R.
“Grace did a great job with our senior pup and cat on recent drop in visits and walks. She was responsive, professional, and timely - and most importantly, the animals were really sorry to see her go!!”
18. Colin H.
“Colin has taken care of my dogs for years at this point. He's always taken fantastic care of my animals and I've never worried about the health or safety of them while in his care.”
19. Emily S.
“Emily is an excellent pup sitter. She is wonderful with my pup. I received photos and updates even without asking. She is wonderfully reliable and has a great, personable approach. Highly recommended,”
20. Helena T.
“Helena is my neighbor. When my husband and I were out of town she took care of my two dogs. She visited twice a day (I had my sister in law walk them once a day as well) and fed them as well. She sent me photos as well to provide extra peace of mind. I came home to two happy dogs. She does a great job and clearly loves pets!”
