5. viktoryia s.
“Viktoryia S has shown tremendous care for a dog that had cancer. Not everyone has the patience and the love for animals to give a sick dog the attention it requires in its last days as Viktoryia has. I would definitely recommend Viktoryia to anyone who needs a pet caregiver.”
6. Michelle M.
“It's not an exaggeration to say Michelle is the biggest dog lover on the planet! This will be the perfect job for her. She is accommodating, friendly and trustworthy with your fur babies. Michelle has excellent communication skills and is reliable. I highly recommend her for your dog walking services.”
7. Holly C.
“Holly was fantastic, she followed directions to a tee during my time of need. I needed to go to Miami to my mother's funeral. She didn't meet Liberty first and she worked through her fear and protection behaviors with unknown people in the house without me there. So thankful for Holly, great person you can't go wrong with her.”
8. Kathy S.
“I’ve known Kat for years and can attest to the fact that she is the most fanatic cat-lover I have ever known. That is why we call her Kat. She has her own cats, whose teeth she brushes daily, and she has an exceptional way of relating with other people’s cats as well. She is the most responsible and caring person and will take care of your cats like no other person will. She is the kind of person who you would gladly trust in your home when you are out of town as she is a person of upmost integrity. I can’t say enough great things about her as a person and her ability to care for your furry loved-ones.”

12. Helen W.
“Helen is a true dog lover. She is able to work with all sizes of dogs. She has worked with a trainer and has a very good understanding of animal behavior and how to work with difficult behaviors. Helen taught me that the dog walk is not just bonding/training time between dog and walker but also an exciting sensory experience that is very important in very dog’s day. She is very dependable no matter what the weather is like. If the dog will go out she will too! She will be an excellent addition to Rover.”
13. Monica L.
“Monica absolutely loves dogs; she goes out of her way to show them the most love and affection while being accompanied by the cutest little dachshund of her own. You can trust Monica will take good care of your pooch while your away! Five stars across the bored for my experience.”

15. Kira M.
“No complaints! Thank you, Kira!”
16. Ashley N.
“Ashley is very calm, which is really important with a bulldog because you don't want them to get overheated. I could tell my dog liked her because she was very calm when I came home. All of this is very important to me! I would definitely recommend Ashley!”
17. Nadya H.
“Our family has known Nadya since she was a young girl. She grew up in our neighborhood and was a good friend of our oldest daughter. She has always had a love of animals, which included her family dog Travis. She even worked at the local Humane Society for a short time. We hired her several times over the years to watch our pets when we were on vacation. At that time, she was responsible for 1 dog, 1 cat and 3 guinea pigs. Our favorite memory is when she sent us a video of our dog opening up her wrapped treat on Christmas morning, while we visited family in Florida. It was hard to say goodbye to Nadya when she moved to a different state. Rest assured, your furry friend(s) will be in very capable hands with Nadya.”
18. Alex P.
“Alex was very good with Luke. He was sincerely interested in understanding his needs and preferences. I feel very confident my dog is in good hands with Alex. Thank you.”
19. Abbie H.
About: Hi, I'm Abbie! I have had pets in my house basically my entire life. My dog growing up was my best friend and I loved spending time with her whenever I could. She passed away at 13 years old so I have experience with dogs starting from puppy age to senior age. Since her passing, I have been looking to scratch my pet itch! I love playing with, walking, grooming, and cuddling with dogs of all breeds and sizes! I always feel bad when I see a dog trapped inside a house all day, so if I can help them by walking or playing, I would love to see them as happy as they can be! I currently work full time from 8am to 5pm M-F but am available before or after work as well as open availability on the weekends! I live in a spacious one bed, one bath condo in a gated community. I know of many walking paths as well as dog parks within the community and short drives away!
20. Mindee M.
“Mindee was an amazing visitor for our 3 month old puppy. We really appreciated your calm, kind, honest and respectful demeanor. You can tell she has an obvious love for our furry friends. Will definitely be using her services again.”
