3. Jose A.
About: I’ve had dogs all throughout my life so I love being around them. I love playing and taking care of them no matter the size or breed any dog is a friend of mine. Open availability at the moment. Just reach out to me and we can talk to make anything work for great care and a fun time with your pup. I always supervise the dog and make sure he or she has water at all time and if it’s outside at anytime I make sure they are always on a leash.
4. Kateri T.
“Kateri is amazing! I needed to come into town at the last minute for a court appearance, and she was able to cheerfully meet me and my dog in front of the courthouse and take him on a fantastic outing. She had a plan to take him on a nature walk, which was far better than anything I could’ve imagined for him. He came back nicely, tuckered out and snoozed in the back of the car the whole drive home.”
5. Ewan E.
“Ewan did an excellent job of walking my energetic Siberian Husky while I dealt with some health and mobility issues. T got very excited around the time Ewan was expected, and always seemed thrilled to see him. T was sufficiently exercised during the walks that he stayed mellow all afternoon. I would definitely use Ewan next time I need dog walking assistance.”

9. Elena R.
“Elena is wonderful and I’ve already rebooked with her! She came over to let my rambunctious pup out daily while I was out of town, even bringing along her own dog to get some extra energy out, and made sure to send updates and photos. Ahead of time, she asked really great questions about our dog care preferences, which highlighted her experience and made me feel very comfortable with our first time Rover experience. Highly recommend!”

12. Imonia R.
About: I am a huge animal lover ever since I was a child I've cared for pets from guinea pigs to horses however dogs, cats and fishes I had the most experience and absolute companionship. Throughout my life I've had over 5 dogs, 13 cats, 3 turtles and multiple fishes as well as cared for neighbor pets and children while their caretakers were in need. I know how to provide pets with their medications, brush their teeth and when to give their needed walks and attention. I keep up with my health and cardio resistance to keep up the fun of helping others and doggy activities. I love to stay active. Most importantly I am happy to be reliable, careful, loving and playful with all animals.
13. Stephanie H.
“I highly recommend Stephanie as your pet-sitter! She has taken care of my two cats on multiple occasions, both for short and long durations, and has done a wonderful job every time! Stephanie is very reliable, and even watched my cats for over a week, never missing a visit. Not only did she stop in every day, but she made sure to spend time playing with my cats and giving them some love instead of just quickly popping in and out. She is also a great communicator and would reach out to me regularly to share a picture or to let me know about any concerns that came up. If you're looking for someone who will actually provide your pets with some comfort and love while you're gone, Stephanie is definitely your girl!”
