1. Michael L.
“Here's a revised version of the review: --- Michael has been an amazing dog walker for our two dogs, Mac and Milo, through Rover. From the start, it was clear he genuinely loves dogs. Mac can be a bit shy, but Michael's gentle manner won him over quickly. Milo, who’s full of energy, always comes back from walks happy and tired. Michael is super reliable and always on time. We really appreciate the updates he sends after each walk, including photos and notes on how the dogs are doing. It’s reassuring to know they’re in good hands. He’s also very flexible with scheduling, which has been a huge help for us. Michael goes the extra mile to make sure Mac and Milo are well taken care of, and it’s obvious he treats them like his own. If you need a dependable, caring dog walker, Michael is the one to go with. We’re really lucky to have found him!”

7. Julie P.
About: I've been taking care of dogs and cats for 40+ years up until recently when we lost our cat of 20 years and our beloved black lab. I'm comfortable with both young and senior animals. I walk 5+ miles a day and am looking for a new 4-legged companion to join me! I also would love the opportunity to check in on your feline friends since I'm a cat person at heart! I currently am retired so have the ability of a free schedule. However, I prefer long walks in the morning or a midday check in as needed. I take cats or dogs overnight for boarding, and only one animal at a time so they have my full attention! I am happy to do drop in visits in your home. I will be respectful and efficient as I will only focus on the need of your pet.

11. Alyssa T.
“Alyssa has been excellent and responsive cat sitter. She was kind enough to go over as soon as I posted the assignment because I was out of town and worried that one of my cats may be locked in the laundry room with no access to her food and water. She checked in, and has been sending photos on her visits. All good, highly recommend!”

“Just recently moved to Fort Wayne from Phoenix AZ, and was concerned about finding someone to look after my guys. There are enough good things that I can say about Sarah, she was wonderful.
