1. Oli L.

“She is amazing! Our dog was obviously pampered and much more relaxed than usual when we get back. I’ve never been so confident that she was treated well and our house was exceptionally well cared for as well. She even taught our old dog a new game. 100% recommended.”


2. Alexander S.

“Alex was great with the dogs and was responsive to our messages. Was very impressed that he came over for a meet and greet and was taking notes and asking questions. Left the home so clean we couldn't even tell someone had been there. Highly recommend”


3. Jessica R.

“Jessica will make your fur babies fill so comfortable! Our Zoey had surgery and she stepped up and took care of her like she was her own. Thank you so much Jessica 🫶🐾💗”


4. Allyson B.

“Allyson took great care of our pupper and was always available with updates and pictures! We have already booked her for future dates and highly recommend her!”


5. Amaya R.
“Amaya loves the pups! She is very patient and caring towards pets. She has taken care of dogs for over a decade. I’ve known her to walk, train, bathe and groom dogs of various sizes. Also she is responsible, always on time, and is able to organize her schedule independently.”


6. Brianna S.

“Brianna is amazing! This was my first time using Rover as my kennel experiences haven’t been the best lately and knowing my boy is much happier at home I was so thankful I found Brianna! She has a great personality! Ace loves her and after getting home I can tell he was way more at ease than the past couple of times I left him in the care of others. She was punctual and sent updates and pics throughout her stay which is very comforting when you worry about your four legged baby as much as I do! She took care of our home and even left it a bit tidier than I did!! I have already booked her again and as much as I want to keep her all to myself she deserves a great review!”


7. Monique V.

“Monique was easy to work with both in meeting prior to the stay and during. She was very communicative, sent lots of photos and updates, and most importantly, the pups had fun! The house was left clean and I could tell she was respectful of our home. Would book again with confidence!”


8. Adriana G.
“My dog is like my child- so knowing he will be well taken care of by someone reputable is at the top of my wishes when looking for someone to watch him - especially because of his separation anxiety towards me. When Adriana watched him they had an instant connection! Making him (and myself) feel at ease during my time away. I could sense her genuine love for animals. Adriana was extremely flexible and communicative with me when watching atom. She was attentive towards atoms needs (and he’s a needy one). Additionally she was well educated on his physical and nutritional needs and was eager to fulfill any additional requests made, like cleaning off his paws, adding snacks throughout the day etc etc. I’m so happy I chose Adriana to care of my fur baby!”


9. Brooklynn B.
“Over the past 6 years Brooklynn has loved and cared for 3 of my dogs (2 of which have passed) for short visits including walks, playtime and feeding them to extended periods of time, up to a week. My babies just love/loved her and get super excited when she walks in the door. I’m not even sure they miss me because they have so much fun with her! Each time she has cared for them she has sent pictures, and though I know she takes great care of them it puts me at ease. Brooklynn will always be my “go to” as her prices are reasonable and she is super flexible with her schedule. Thank you Brooklynn for loving Bubba, Daisy & Luna as if they were your own ❤️”


10. Emily W.

“Emily was great and attentive, which was what our pup needed. Our dog is going through chemo which requires monitoring and medication, Emily handled everything and gave us great updates!”


11. Dmarion J.
“One thing about Dmarion is that he takes pride in making sure that animals are taken care of to the fullest extent, he makes sure they're consistently watched, fed, cleaned, walked, groomed etc.”


12. Savannah H.
About: I’ve taken care of multiple pets throughout my life, my own, my friends & family. I work well with all breeds and ages and have experience in house training.

18. Brad L.
About: I have had dogs and cats since I was 8 years old. I have one large dog.I do not have any cat at this time. I work full time so I am available after 5 pm most weekdays and all day on weekends. I work from 9pm till 5pm I could home for lunch to let my dogs out. I live in Petersburg Va I have one day that stays in his kennel when I am not home and I let out for potty breaks at least three times a day.


19. Andrea M.
“I go out of town every so often to visit family and can’t bring my 90 pound dog, 50 pound dog, or my cats with me. She’s able to feed them on the schedule I have set for them so that works out great. We usually let the dogs out back often during the day and she’s been able to keep up with their routines. My animals have been taken care of well under her supervision.”
