1. Kiera B.

“On time! So friendly and welcoming to Louie. Strong walker and updated me at every turn.”




2. Lindsey S.

“I would highly recommend Lindsey! She is great with dogs, very attentive and detailed in her reports. She was also super flexible with us-we had a couple schedule changes and weather issues, but she made it work. Also, I locked myself out of my house one morning and she came by and let me in! Saved me a whole bunch of money on a locksmith. Great dog caretaker and just a kind soul. Don't hesitate-book her now!”


3. Tess W.

“Tess was one of the best walkers I have found on Rover. Her communication was great and always sent pictures. She is definitely at the top of my list if I need to book a walker in the future! 10/10 recommend!”


4. Katryn S.
About: I was raised around all kinds of pets, from cats and dogs to snakes and spiders. I take a lot of pride in taking great care of animals and providing them with a safe and loving environment. I’m currently a student on break, so I have a lot of time on my hands for the time being. I can work with your schedule! I am very careful with any animal within my responsibility. I’m well-practiced in keeping sneaky pets from escaping out the door, keeping leashed dogs away from other dogs, and medicating animals. I will strictly follow any instructions I am given to make sure your pet is safe, healthy, and comfortable!




5. DAMACIA J.

“Excellent and reliable care! DAMACIA was available with short notice planning and ensured that Bear got everything he needed. She even made sure he got excellent care on the rainy day and bear, like most pups, is not a fan of the rain. I highly recommend DAMACIA and will book with her again when I’m looking for help!”


6. Grant L.

“Grant was so amazing to my little Loretta! Can’t recommend him enough!”


7. Lisa K.

“Lisa is an excellent dog walker! She was prompt and took Tut on a long walk for an hour where he was able to burn some energy and then relax/nap afterwards till I got home from work. Will definitely work with her again”


8. Cindy T.

“Cindy took awesome care of my 2 dogs while I was on vacation. My dogs were timid at first but were almost immediately drawn to her. She’s some kind of dog whisperer! She sent me pictures of them playing, cuddling, and more adorable pictures. I felt completely comfortable with her watching my dogs and didn’t have to worry while on my trip. They were in great hands. I will have her watch my dogs from now on as long as she will have them.”


9. Laura N.
“"I can't say enough good things about Laura! She went above and beyond to make sure my dog felt comfortable, loved, and cared for during my absence. Max had a blast and I can tell from the daily updates and pictures that they had the best time together. Highly recommend!”


10. Kristen C.

“Kristen did a great job walking Bo this weekend. She communicated every time and even let me add on an extra day. We would definitely use her again!”


11. Mariah C.

“I am so grateful to have found Mariah. She is an awesome caretaker for my pup on their weekly walks. She is punctual and always keeps me updated with pics and descriptions of anything noteworthy. Would highly recommend her for anyone seeking a trustworthy sitter/walker. 👍🏼”


12. Alexis M.

“She was great with Keira”


13. Maria Jose M.

“Maria has walked my dog, Harry on numerous occasions. She is always on time, sends me pics and updates and is great with him. He is always excited to see her and I will definitely continue to use her.”


14. Tara W.

“Tara is great! She is always willing to work with my schedule and my dog loves her!”


15. Alexander S.
“For a couple of years now, Alex has been staying at my home with my three-year-old mixed-breed cattle dog, Quico, when the humans in my family go on vacation. We leave Alex detailed instructions on how to provide Quico the best care, including food, medicine, and physical/mental fulfillment, since he is a high-energy dog, which they always follow. Quico also absolutely loves Alex, so I know Quico is in good hands when we go out of town -- emotionally and physically. Alex also is very responsive to my texts checking in on my beloved puppy dog, in addition to sending occasional adorable pictures and updates. Excellent care for my dog!”




16. Janet S.

“Great communication and timely arrival!”


17. Dani R.
“I highly recommend Dani for taking care of your pup if you're looking for someone trustworthy and reliable! Based upon previous interactions, it is clear she is detail-oriented, knows the right questions to ask, and has great communication. I also appreciate that she can anticipate needs and clearly love animals. I know she has spent time volunteering with a local shelter to help animals get adopted, including fostering a pit mix that was having trouble finding a home. Dani would undoubtedly treat your dog as if it were her own.”


18. Colby C.

“Colby was amazing with Phil - I live with two roommates and he agreed to do a meet and greet with us ! He sent me updates and phil was so happy ! 10/10 recommend!”


19. Veronica M.
“Veronica has been the best dog, cat and bird sitter I've ever had. My animals love her and she has been a GODSEND to me. Not only does she take care of my "babies", she also house sits too. I come home from vacation and my house is spotless. I trust her empathetically with my home and my animals. I am sorry she moved away because it will be so very hard to replace her! I give her the highest recommendation possible.”


20. Thomas C.
About: My whole life I have owned, loved, boarded, and cared for a broad range of animals: dogs (small and large), cats (domesticated and feral), hamsters, rabbits, chickens, fish, one gerbil, one parrot, and more. With that comes the experience of the full cycle of life with companion animals - birth, adolescence, training, setbacks, accidents, illness, aging, and loss. I'm no stranger to providing extra potty breaks for puppies (our interests are mutually aligned) or with giving daily medications. For the first time in many years, my home is without a pet of my own - let me dote on yours when you can't. I'm a semi-retired / recovering attorney now working from home with plenty of time and attention to give to your fur babies. Regular walks and exercise are an important part of our routine. My property is ~ 2 acres, large portions of which are fenced but wouldn't be described as secured. Your dog's temperament will determine whether it can roam / play / fetch unleashed, but in no event will dogs be outside unattended. Inside, I try to make my home as welcoming and comforting for your pets as I would hope would be done for mine - animals are allowed on the furniture and are invited to sleep where they please, unless you instruct otherwise.
