Our previous dog walker from rover would have said they walked the dog and left. They go above and beyond every time. Simply the best!!!!!!”

“Ivy is amazing with animals! She has had dogs in her family since she was 5 years old and has a innate talent for interacting with them. She showers her pets with love and attention and is affectionately referred to as "the dog whisperer" at the dog park. She is extremely responsible taking care of her own pets as well as others. This past summer she worked at a doggie day care playing with the dogs and even shampooing and drying many of them in the grooming station. She has had experience with dogs of all sizes, shapes, and temperaments, and is very adept at knowing what they need and how to interact with them. I woud recommend Ivy to anyone who is looking for a loving and responsible pet caregiver.”

About: Hi! I am a veteran and am very loving with animals I have grown up with dogs my whole life. I have had 6 dogs through my life and I love them to death. Now i have 2 cats of my own they’re my life. I am very reliable and I don’t cancel. I will take very good care of your dog or cat and they will be loved by me as well! i am in the process of waiting to be a substitute teacher right now. so as of the moment i am not doing much just taking some classes so i am free whenever you may need! i have my own apartment in a home with a backyard. I do have my two cats at home i dont mind dogs being around them, i can leave my cats in a separate room if that would make you feel more comfortable for your dog if you need overnight.
13. Anthony G.
“Anthony is a very admirable person. He has cared for our pet over the years and has always done so with the utmost respect and responsibility. He has always taken the extra time to make sure our pet felt loved and cared for when we were gone. I have also seen him care for other pets during an emergency at all hours of the night.”
14. Kristen & Nicholas P.
“Kristen and Nick are the epitomes of dog lovers! They are experienced dog owners and proud parents to multiple fur babies. Kristen particularly has such a way with dogs, no matter the breed, size or temperament. My dog is afraid of everyone and everything, but he immediately took a liking to Kristen. It was amazing to see how he was immediately comfortable with her. I love knowing that my family's dogs are in good hands with them!”

She has taken my dog and her dog on double walks and treated him like her own and has watched him while I was on vacation. My dog, Cooper, aways comes back home from Theresa’s house cleaned, brushed, fed, and happy. I have no doubt in Theresa’s ability and passion for this.”
