1. Francine G.
“I’ve known Francine for about five years and in all that time I don’t think I’ve ever seen her pass a dog without stopping to say hello to it. She truly seems to enjoy interacting with them. As far as her own pups go, I think they know more tricks than a circus dog. It’s takes patience and love to train a dog as well as hers are. I would never hesitate to leave my little friends with her.”


2. Paula H.
“I have known Paula for over 40 years and can confidently say she is incredibly responsible, compassionate, and trustworthy individual—especially when it comes to animals. Over the time I’ve known Paula, I’ve seen firsthand how naturally she connects with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Whether it's walking my own dog or helping care for pets in the neighborhood, Paula approaches every animal with patience, energy, and genuine affection. Dogs respond well to her calm and confident presence, and she always take the time to ensure each walk is safe, enjoyable, and tailored to the needs of the dog. What sets Paula apart is her dependability. Paula take commitments seriously and shows up on time, prepared, and attentive. She also communicates clearly with pet owners and is quick to share updates, photos, or any concerns that might arise during a walk. I truly believe Paula would be a valuable addition to your dog walking team, and any dog would be lucky to be in her care.”

5. Jessica M.

“Jessica has held an intense love for animals for as long as I have know her (over a decade!). This love translates to near-unparalleled attention for all animals in her care. Dogs, cats, birds, goats, or horses; Jessica knows her stuff and will always do what is right by the animal. She also has a kind, sunny personality that means she is pleasant and easy to talk to. Every animal I have left with her has come back to me safe and sound. Even my more difficult cat seemed to hate her less than he does everyone else in the universe (which is impressive considering he barely even likes me and I’ve had him since he was a kitten). All that is to say; Jessica can be trusted to care for your animals safely and with care.”


6. Dennis B.

“Dennis is personable, prompt, and flexible. He offers a variety of services for your canine companion. I appreciated his very thoughtful observation of my dog’s body language, behavior, and preference cues - Elliot can take a moment to warm up to new friends and lives to play with his flirt stick. I would, without reservation, recommend Dennis as your walker, play date companion, and house sitter.”




7. Melissa M.
About: Hi I'm Melissa and I am a 46 mother and homemaker. I am here to make your time away from your pet worry free and accommodate your pet care and/or house sitting needs while you are away. I have plenty of experience over my lifetime and even worked at a veterinary clinic with an assortment of different animals. I have a two month old puppy named Max and he loves other animals. I can provide plenty of references to ease your mind and have a very flexible schedule. I'd be happy to help you through the holidays or any other time of the year you could use an extra hand . Please feel free to contact me at your convenience and I look forward to meeting you and your pets. Thanks for looking and have a great day. I work from home and homeschool my 7 year old, I focus focus on Max's training throughout the day because this is a crucial time in his life where he needs to learn so many things. I make sure my days stay as flexible as they can be so we all get through them as a team and are still laughing at the end of it. With that being said as I am available to board a senior dog or special needs dog but I wouldn't prefer to have one at doggy day care on a regular basis until Max is older and has more training. I have a huge fenced in yard and lots of toys to play with. Max loves it out there and we have a little pool and a doggy house.


8. Michelle M.
“Michelle took amazing care of our pets — Marlo, Mika, Gaia, and Mila — while we were away. She provided walking, feeding, and overnight care, and we couldn’t have asked for a more professional and attentive caregiver. From the start, Michelle was communicative and informative, keeping us updated and ensuring we felt confident that our pets were in good hands. Her calm and friendly demeanor made it clear she genuinely cared about our animals’ well-being. We came home to happy pets and a tidy home. We’re so grateful for her help and would highly recommend Michelle to anyone looking for reliable, compassionate pet care.”


9. Mary Katherine A.
“MK took such great care of my fur babies! She is so great with animals and an excellent communicator. Super knowledgeable with animal behaviors and a lovely person to know. Thanks MK for the last minute request to watch my dogs and for all of the text and picture updates. 10/10 would recommend :)”


10. Briana P.

“This was a great first experience! Briana made an appointment to meet my dogs (and me, but we KNOW it’s about the dogs!). She was intuitive even with this “difficult” breed (Akita). I got pictures from their walks. I’ll absolutely use Rover and hire Briana again!!”


11. Lexi W.
“Lexi has taken care of my puppy since he was 10 weeks old. She made sure he was comfortable before her first sitting and followed our dietary restrictions to make sure he was properly cared for and fed. I never had to ask for updates either because she was proactively sending pictures when she was with Tank. I am extremely grateful that we no longer have to worry about making trips or finding accommodations for our Tank and he now looks forward to seeing Lexi if we are away!”


12. Danielle F.

“Danielle is fantastic! She was prompt professional and upbeat.She gave my Pet lots of exercise and playtime, Keeping in constant communication and very helpful. I trusted her care and will utilize Her services again!”


13. Tess N.
“I have kept dogs for almost 13 years now and Tess is always my first call if I require a sitter. I have known her most of my life and I trust her completely with my animals. She closely minds how I prefer them to be handled and there is never any doubt they will be safe and happy when I leave them with her. She is not only responsible and knowledgeable but also has an energy dogs seem to enjoy and be drawn to. They even often return to me having learned a fun new trick. I would recommend Tess highly to anyone.”


14. Jared P.
“Jared is a fun, enthusiastic, trustworthy, and caring individual. He's smart, practical, and would do a tremendous job taking care of your pet and home. Highly recommend.”

About: Hi, I’m Destiny Bowers, a passionate animal care professional with over 17 years of experience. I specialize in animal training, grooming, and individualized care for pets of all sizes and temperaments—including those who are aggressive or reactive. From senior to young kittens/puppies, dogs, cats, birds, and even snakes, I’ve had the privilege of working with a wide variety of animals, always prioritizing their mental and physical wellbeing. My journey into animal behavior began in college, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, I wasn’t able to complete my degree. However, I plan to return and finish my studies. In the meantime, I’ve continued to expand my expertise through hands-on work in multiple boarding facilities and with the SPCA. I’m also certified in pet first aid and CPR, attending annual recertifications to ensure I’m always prepared to keep your pets safe. Whether your pet needs training, grooming, or personalized care, I’m here to help. I also have extensive experience administering medications and tailoring my approach to fit each pet’s unique needs. I recently have started as a hobby, pet photography, so you will get plenty of photo updates if you book with me. If you’re interested in training, grooming, or photography services, please reach out for a custom quote. For dog walking, house/pet sitting, or drop-in visits, bookings can be made through Rover. I look forward to providing the care and attention your pet deserves! My current schedule allows for all-day play with your pup or kitty! Nothing would please me more!! However, this can change. I do own my own dog training business therefore when I get busy with appointments I will have to update my schedule, luckily most my clients are on vacation currently. If interested in my training or grooming services let me know and I'll give you a quote. I am very very observant of my surroundings. I will NEVER let ANY unknown people or animals near your fur baby. I am very aware of how to best handle aggressive and reactive dogs. You will have video/picture updates of your fur baby while in my care so you can rest assured that they are under only the best care!
