1. Mindy F.


“Mindy is the absolute best petcare provider I've ever had. My dog adored her, and I never had any worries about being at work knowing that Mindy would be breaking up the day with a walk, treats, and belly rubs.”


2. Andrew H.

“Andrew was on time and totally respectful. He was very calm with our hyper puppy and did a great job of letting the pup come/warm up to him. We had a few requests (sitting at sidewalks and heeling by people) that make walking the pup a little more work. Andrew was more than happy to work with all of our requests. Definitely recommend!”


3. Emily J.


“There are not enough words to explain how wonderful Emily is. She has been walking my dog for a little over a year now and today was a much different circumstance. When she arrived for his walk, she noticed immediately that he wasn’t acting like himself. She notified me right away and even offered to bring him to the emergency vet. Instead I had my dad come get him because I did not want her to have to go thru that even though I know she would’ve in a heart beat. She sat with him and cuddled him until my dad arrived. She kept me up to date and went out of her way to try and figure out what was going on with him. Her intuition was spot on and he received the care he needed. I’m so happy she was there when she was. Thank you Emily for an amazing year of being Marley’s dog walker. We both love and appreciate you very much ❤️”


4. Sari B.

“Sari is absolutely amazing! I always feel completely safe and at ease leaving my dog in her care. My pup adores her and gets so excited every time he sees her, its so comforting knowing he loves spending time with her! Sari does a fantastic job keeping him active with fun park trips and long walks that leave him happy and totally tuckered out. He always comes home ready to relax. Highly recommend!”


5. Sarah S.
“Sarah was amazing with my golden retriever Tilly! She took great care of her, kept me updated with photos, and made sure she got her energy out by playing with her. I could tell Tilly loved her, and I felt completely at ease knowing she was in such good hands. Highly recommend!”


6. Meredith S.

“Meredith was great! She had excellent communication with me, she was reliable/timely and my dog loved her! I will definitely use her again when the need arises.”


7. Carolyn S.

“Carolyn is the best!”


8. Melissa C.

“Fabulous communication and timeliness!”


9. Aracely P.
“Aracely is great! She took great care of and walked my dog Max, a sometimes temperamental golden doodle, while I was on vacation and needed someone to look after him. She was ready and willing to help when I needed her on rather short notice as well, which isn't always easy to find in a person. I can only speak for myself and Max but we are both 100% pleased and thankful for everything she's done. Thanks again Aracely!”


10. Alexandria B.


“The boys have been loving their walks and the Rover Card is great .. Alexandria is great🐶❤️🐶”


11. Michele H.

“Did a great job walking out crazy puppy!! Very reliable”




12. Brenna O.

“Thank you Brenna for your wonderful care of my valued family member!”


13. Allison A.
“Allison did an amazing job with our two dogs Max and Lou. They were well cared for and we were given many updates while we were gone. It was such a relief to have my dogs loved in their own homes while we were away and not having to put them in the kennel. I will definitely be using Allison again the next time we need a dog sitter!”


14. sarah r.
About: I have been taking care of several of my neighbors dogs for a few years. I am a stay at home dog mom with a 30lb poodle mix named Eddie. We love to entertain! I am a stay at home dog mom, just resigned from my 18 year long career. I will always be home unless I have to run to the store quick. I make all dogs feel as comfortable as possible. They are allowed on the furniture and walked daily. I always recommend bring the dogs bed or blanket to make them feel more secure.


15. Annaliese R.
About: I’ve taken care and handled of all kinds of animals from rabbits to dogs to cattle. Neighbors, Friends, and Family all come to me when they need anything for their pets. I’m very flexible when it comes to scheduling, and can always find a way to work around whatever’s best for you. I’m also a certified pet groomer and have done countless basic puppy training services. If grooming or training is needed during any services, we can discuss more about specifics. I work as a full time dog groomer so I’m always surrounded by pets. When I’m not doing that on my free time, I am constantly taking neighborhood dogs on walks, and pet sitting for friends. As well as helping out at local shelters and pet stores. I always make sure we have playtime to release any energy they may have had being home alone, or from being in the crate. If they haven’t had their meal of the day, I’ll make sure they get their food and water before being walked or taken outside.


16. Jodi & Steve G.


“Jodi is great, Maya loves her and I know she is in good hands when I leave her with Jodi.”


17. Dennis C.
“Dennis and his wife watched my sweet yet sometimes explosive 2 year old lab mix on a weekend where I was injured and unable to provide her with much activity. They took her on walks at a local park, had a comfortable bed available, and a large cache of toys for her to play with. She warmed up quickly and had a great time. I'm definitely planning on having her stay with Dennis again. Highly recommended!”


18. Casey M.
About: I love to take care of dogs and cats! I’m always down for walks and adventures, as well as staying in. I have the sweetest 2 cats in the world! I’m currently in school and only have a few classes, so I’m very open to care for your pets! I’m available after 5 on Tuesdays and Thursday, and free any other time! I can keep an eye on your pets and make sure they stay safe! I’m easy going and can provide a calming environment for your pet!


19. Rachael P.

“Rachael was wonderful! We will certainly call on her again!”


20. Tori S.
“Tori has been watching my dog for over 2 years now and is one of the more responsible people I know. She has always shown love and care towards animals and more importantly I always feel like my dog is in safe hands when she is watching him. I would highly recommend Tori to anyone that needs their dog to be taken care of!”
