Hailey was great. I think because she has her own small breed dog, she knew exactly how to handle our cavapoo. She kept us up to date with pictures and comments, she took our dog on walks and just kept Peanut in the routine she is accustomed to. I will definitely hire her again.

Ehlaura was amazing. Not only did she take my booking last minute, but she took GREAT care of my senior dogs. There were multiple curve balls over the few days she stayed with them and she was very communicative about everything. My dogs certainly gave her a run for her money, but she handled everything so well and made me incredibly glad that I’d found her so last minute. I would have been much more worried about my dogs without her great care and communication.

Anna was absolutely wonderful! She was very friendly and highly skilled with caring for dogs, Anna stayed at my house while I was away, and she bonded with my dog instantly. I was completely impressed with her ability to interact and connect with my dog. Anna was really good with following through with my requests regarding my dogs diet, and she followed up with me right away with any concerns. Anna is very reliable, trustworthy and honest, I highly recommend Anna to care for anyone’s pets. And FYI, she also willingly and lovingly cared for and fed my bird. Leaving my dog is hard for me, my heart aches to leave him behind, I never imagined I would find someone who could love my dog much ad I do, but Anna 100% exceeded my expectations.

About: I have been in pet care for the past 3 years on Woofies, now on Rover! Communication, punctuality, and diligence are things you can depend on me for! I have the most availability on evenings M-F and all day Sat/Sun. I am currently in college and also work part-time for Dollar Tree corporate. I have had dogs and cats in the past and as I mentioned, have worked for another pet care service for the past few years. I am familiar with all aspects of this service, but will primarily focus on in-home visits/walks or overnight stays.

Elena took great care of Charlie while we went out of town for a night. There was some miscommunication at the end where she stayed past the time we had her booked for - I think she wanted to make sure we got back first to ensure Charlie was taken care of while we booked knowing we would likely be home past that time. I’m glad we were only back 30 mins after she was scheduled for!

Desiree did a wonderful job taking care of our two dogs and house sitting while we were on Spring Break. She was so on top of things and kept us informed about how the dogs were doing. She sent adorable pictures of our fur babies each day, and dealt with a few doggy anxiety issues along the way. The dogs loved her and she obviously adored them which was so comforting to know that they were in great hands while we were away. We were so thankful that we found her, and will most certainly be repeat customers!!

About: Hello, I’m a stay at home mom and cat mom! Throughout my life, I’ve had dogs that I’ve adored and loved. I currently walk and pet sit and would love to build more clientele and gain more knowledge. I’m open to any weekdays after 4pm and any time on weekends. I’m also open to additional tasks you may need done and hoping that I can help people find genuine, loving care for their fur babies! As a mom who stays home with her baby, I care for him and take care of the house during the day and once my husband arrives home, I leave to care for my clients pets, so I have much time to give to your pets! While I walk any dog, I make sure to be well aware of my surroundings so that they do not eat anything they may find, run into another dog (especially if they do not do well with others), stay comfortable in the temperature it may be when walking and that they are overall enjoying their walk. When pet sitting dogs or cats, I love to make sure they’re getting the affection and care that they deserve, so that they’re not feeling alone. I am able to crate them if needed and am open to any request you may need.

About: I've been working with and studying animal behavior since I was 10 years old, and my passion for dogs has only grown stronger over the years. With over a decade of hands-on experience in training and caring for dogs of all breeds and temperaments, I’ve developed a deep understanding of their needs, behaviors, and how to effectively communicate with them. I currently work full-time for a mobile dog grooming company, where I handle dogs daily with patience, confidence, and care. Whether you're looking for someone to walk your dog, provide basic training, or help with behavior issues, you can trust that your furry friend is in experienced and loving hands. I also offer a very flexible schedule and can accommodate most needs with plenty of notice. Whether you're looking for dependable dog walking, basic obedience training, or help with behavior issues, I’m here to give your pup the attention and care they deserve. Your dog’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. When in my care, you can rest easy knowing they’re in a secure, loving environment. I have a fully fenced-in backyard where they can play safely, and the property is equipped with cameras for added peace of mind. I’m committed to following any specific dietary needs or routines your dog may have, and I make sure they get their daily walks for both exercise and mental stimulation. If your pup needs regular brushing or combing, I’m happy to handle that too—keeping them clean, comfortable, and cared for every step of the way.
