3. Sydney C.
“Sydney is the pet sitter you need in your life! I have been friends with her for some years now, she always helps watch my 3 dogs when I am out of town. She has a genuine love for animals and animals give her the same love back. One of my dogs has kidney issues and I never feel scared that she won’t get her supplements and on time when she is with Sydney. She takes them out to get exercise, is consistent with their feeding schedule, and gives them all the love they could ever want. Whatever your dogs needs/ challenges are, Sydney is more than capable.”

5. Callie S.
“Callie is a wonderful pet sitter/dog walker! I have had her watch my little pup at least 10 separate times and she always comes back to me so happy and content! She is super thorough about following your pets schedule and being mindful of their needs. My pup absolutely adores her. She always sends pictures and is prompt with updates both independently and when asked! I highly recommend Callie if you need some additional pet care!”


6. Gabriella B.

“I highly recommend Gabriella. She was amazing with my dog, walking him twice today and showing incredible patience and care throughout. My dog can be a handful, but she handled him so well. It’s clear she genuinely loves animals, and I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in good hands. Thank you for your excellent service!”


7. Maria S.
“Maria is very much a general animals person. We frequently visit the Animal Humane Society, and she has helped me take care of my three dogs. She also came by to check on our old cat everyday while my family and I were away. She has two cats of her own, and has wanted a dog for years. I would fully trust her with any animal I were to get in the future.”

About: I have always loved all breeds of dogs and they are usually drawn to me! I have had a dog throughout every part of my life. My daily routine is very flexible and always able to adjust and adept to different things. I can always adjust to the schedule that is needed. Constantly making sure they have been to the bathroom or out for walks. Constantly feeding them on the schedule they know so they feel comfortable.

11. Abby M.
“Abby is the sweetest and kindest person I have ever met. She can be quiet when you first meet her, but once she opens up there is no going back. She already works with dogs and doing "Rover" has caused her to become even closer with animals. I would trust Abby with my life and my dog's life for so many reasons. If someone is looking for a caring pet sitter or dog walker, Abby is the perfect person for the job.”
