“Holly was fantastic to communicate with and took really good care of oscar. Would definitely rebook her again and will definitely suggest her to take care of your fur babys. :)”


9. Kimberly P.

“Kim is absolutely wonderful, I can’t recommend her enough! She is flexible, conscientious, kind, and really cared about my quirky dog. Her communication and updates are excellent. She is incredibly reliable and I never worried about Daisy for a second while Kim was taking care of her (and I worry about everything). I was always confident that Daisy would be safe and happy, because Kim goes above and beyond to ensure that. When my dog hurt her back a day before a housesitting visit and required meds, Kim was unfazed and helped Daisy make a full recovery. She also takes the best pictures, which were such a treat to get while I was out!”


10. Michaela Y.

“Michaela is such a gem! She is so sweet, understanding, patient, and thorough. She took fervent notes during our meet and greet and takes great care of my Bernie when I need her. I trust her with my fut baby and highly recommend her!”

“Kara does an amazing job walking our two labradoodles - they love her! She is experienced, reliable, and a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend her.”


12. Lauren M.
“Lauren is an absolute pleasure to be around and to know. She is one of the most kind, caring, and capable people I have the enjoyment of knowing. Her deep love and care for all animals, and especially dogs is so apparent. She’s the kind of person who would cross the street to meet and pet a dog, and I’ve tagged along with her to do so many times. Lauren has a special place in her heart for all animals and besides the fact that she is the most caring person, she is also highly smart and capable of protecting, and being responsible for anyone’s pet and I would be grateful to have her as a pet caregiver for my dog.”

16. Kaitlyn Q.
About: I recently moved from home, where we had 4 pets, including a Chihuahua, a German Shepard/Husky mix, and 2 orange cats. I have cared for these pets constantly over many years amongst playing, feeding, cleaning up after, and walking them simultaneously with energy and care. I hope to have these same interactions and care with your pets! I currently work from home on Mondays and Fridays where I have flexible availability during the day to go on walks. I have limited availability on other weekday evenings. Available on most weekends. If caring for your pet from your home, I can feed, play with, take them on walks, and clean up after them as need be. I will be sure to remain available for contact as needed at all times and can provide any updates or images of your pet as requested.


17. Joyce K.

“Wow! Thank you so much for caring for Tana today. I have never come back to her demeanor in such peace and tranquility. It is clear that Joyce understands that every dog requires different needs, and that is quite remarkable. 10/10, would book again!”


18. Cate S.

“Was great with my dog! Highly recommend!”


19. Melanie R.
“I have known Melanie for slightly over a year. She is very dedicated and has a strong passion and care for animals. She currently interns at a wildlife animal shelter where she engages in various tasks. Some of these include feeding baby squirrels and cleaning animal cages. She excels at being a team player and has exemplary communication skills. I believe she will be an amazing fit for Rover.”


20. Elise V.
“I have known Elise for over 20 years. My husband and I would like to give our full recommendation and praise to Elise for helping us take care of our adorable 1.5-year-old yellow lab, Sadie. Sadie is a very energetic puppy and has trouble with jumping, barking, and other expected puppy behaviors. Since the moment Elise stepped into our house to meet Sadie, Sadie has shown such a drastic improvement in her high energy behavior. Elise helped us understand how to work with Sadie one on one to help improve this behavior. She also worked with Sadie on leash training and gave us wonderful suggestions. We currently have three small children and Sadie does not always receive the attention that she deserves. Elise has helped immensely with this. When Elise worked with Sadie it was evident that she has a clear knowledge of how to train, care for, and love all animals. Elise is an exceptional care taker and trainer because she is reliable, efficient, and devoted to her work. She has set expectations that Sadie understood through her consistent verbiage and actions. We cannot thank Elise enough for her determination, love, and affection towards Sadie.”
