1. Julie F.
“This was the first time Julie sat with my senior dogs (12y/11.5y old). I appreciate that she immediately informed me that she was delayed (start time was scheduled 12pm) and asked if my senior dogs would be ok alone for a few hours or if she needed to stop by early. That action gave me great confidence and comfort knowing that she truly cares about her clients (human & fur). As my puppies are senior, they don't do much other than nap, for that reason, I didn't receive nor expect many pictures. I will absolutely be booking her for future sitting.”
2. Sabrina A.
“Sabrina was amazing with my pups. Sabrina was very professional. Sabrina was quick to respond to messages and work with us on such short notice. If your looking for the perfect sitter, look no further than Sabrina.”

“First time using Rover and it couldn’t have gone any better!!! Sarah made us and the dogs feel like family, we were gone for 7 days never worried once! She sent pics and text! Great updates and felt like a family member not an app!!!”
4. Savannah W.
“Savannah was amazing! She provided frequent updates and pictures while she stayed in our home. We came home and found the house just as we left it and our dogs and cats were happy and settled right back into their routines. We cannot thank her enough for taking such great care of our fur babies and wouldn't hesitate to book her again for drop ins or another vacation. Thanks, Savannah!”
5. Taryn M.
“Taryn is an incredible human. It’s so nice to be able to leave town and feel completely comfortable leaving your fur babies in such amazing care. She’s punctual, reliable, has fantastic communication and just goes above and beyond treating your pets like her own. One of a kind! ♥️”
6. Rebeccah C.
“Rebeccah was beyond amazing. I love my fur babies, and didn’t want to leave them even for vacation. Rebeccah came over a couple of times ahead of my booking with her. She was calm and patient as I went through all my home quirks; she asked important questions and showed a calm confidence that left me feeling reassured. She arrived on time for the booking and stayed until I returned home. My girls were calm and clearly had a good time with Rebeccah. They ate and played and offered themselves up for pets and snuggles while she was with them. I highly recommend Rebeccah and I’m looking forward to another vacation for myself now that I know my girls will be in such good hands!”
7. Matt M.

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life. I’ve worked in an animal clinic where i was a kennel tech and took care of all animals boarding. We had also offered daycare and there were multiple occasions where i’ve had to supervise a large group of dogs. I currently work at a board and train facility and have experience in training puppies and seniors and a little reactive. I’m currently working part time usually 2-3 times a week and only 6 hour shifts so I will have plenty of time to check in on ur pups or stop by for a walk! I’m available for bookings monday-saturday 8am-2pm and then 9:30pm-10pmsunday 11am- 10pm. some days are tricky with my training schedule but you can always message me and we can potentially work something out! In my clients home i respect all rules and regulations fur baby and pet parent/parents have,of course. I like to do at least 2 10 minute walks a day if trained to walk correctly on leash. If unable i can definitely offer to help with that! depending on how the dog’s personality is will differ my daily routine with them but i always aim for getting the most exercise physically and mentally and of course having fun and creating a good trusting bond!

11. Lindsey R.
“Fantastic again. The kids(dogs) were very well taken care of. Will definitely use her again”
12. Erica M.
“Erica did a great job caring for dog and our visiting grand-dog. She was great with recognizing that our Bulldog was most comfortable and that our daughter's young Bernidoodle was a bit more timid. She loved on them both using different skills. She was even able to manage to feed them together by distracting the bulldog when she finished eating in a fraction of the time it took the Berni to eat, and she managed to et them both to exercise even with their different needs. They both loved her.”
13. Shelby K.
“Shelby was great with our 3 Shepherds. Our oldest is blind, and has a few other health challenges, and I never worried for 1 minute. She was awesome at keeping us updated on all 3. Our littlest is 4 months old, And then a 2 year old. She had he hands full, and did fabulous! Thank you Shelby for everything you did. We appreciate it.”
14. Kimberly V.
“Kimberly has always been fantastic with my dog Charlie. Charlie is a stubborn 13 year old Shnoodle, and his behavior has improved drastically since last November, when Kimberly began helping me daily. Charlie acts happier and is full of energy now, and enjoys long walks daily with Kimberly.”
15. Claudia A.
“Wonderful with our girls. She was honest, transparent and asked questions when unsure. Left our house spotless. Great person to work with our girls! Would use again.”
16. Kamryn G.
“Kamryn has watched our pets at least twice for us within the past year. She stayed at our house for the time we were gone. She was very reliable, followed our instructions, and took good care of our pets and the house, which is a challenge with our pack! Lol.”
17. Megan R.
“Amazing as always!”
18. Samantha H.
“Samantha was amazing with my babies! She would ensure that they got daily exercise either by taking them out for walks and even going to the dog park. I booked the service where she stayed in my home and the house was super clean when I got back. She fed my dogs on time and kept me up to date on what they were doing and I got plenty of pictures of them! I hope to book her again my dogs loved her!”
19. Aby B.
About: I’ve always been naturally drawn to animals. I feel very connected and comfortable around all pets. I genuinely enjoy caring for any type of animal because they bring so much happiness to my life. I can do anything that is needed because caring for pets comes easy to me. I work a job that allows me a lot of freedom & I I have a lot of spare time on my hands. I would love to fit some pet sitting jobs into my routine. I have three small dogs that are super friendly and get along with any animals. I do have a backyard & although it isn’t fenced in I do have tie outs and leashes.
20. Emma & Timothy H.
“These people are amazing Emma and Timothy are great humans that will care greatly for your fur babies needs ! You won’t be disappointed !”
