“Just arrived back from my international trip and I can’t say enough about the care Matthew provided for my 4 pups. I hadn’t done drop in visits before and Matthew made the experience stress and hassle free. From the meet and greet to every drop in visit Matthew exceeded my expectations. He was communicative, thorough, attentive and flexible. I looked forward to every rover card and pictures. He went above and beyond to keep my dogs safe and taken care of especially having specific instructions about my special needs pup and the behavioral issues of my boys. He even went out of his way to give Toby a bath while I was away. I can’t begin to thank Matthew enough for everything he did for my puppers. Truly the person to go to for your dog care needs! All my kiddos loved him and I can’t wait to book again, a trustworthy person like Matthew is hard to find! Thank you!”

About: I've had dogs off and on my whole life, and currently have two of my own. They're 5 and 2, and they make all my days brighter and more fun. In the past I've also sat for my sister's dog, and helped to care for friends' and roommates' animals. I love hanging out, walking, and playing with pups, and I'm always happy to meet a new one! I currently work part-time from home, and have very open availability. I walk my own dogs at least once a day, but other than that I can make it work with almost any schedule. My dogs have open roam of my house, and have spots they like to lay and relax in most rooms. They love to wrestle and play tug of war, so we do that inside or they love to run around the back yard. I feed them a mix of dry and canned food, with treats or sometimes food scraps. They're happy, healthy, and help to keep me the same.

“I can't say enough about Christine and her willingness to help and care for my animals. I was so very worried to leave Caesar, my 15 y.o. dog who has hearing and sight issues, at home without me. Christine did her best to make my guys feel comfortable and loved!! My cat, Mahzick feel in love with her .<3 She was very timely each day, with her check-ins, which I noted on the app. and sent me many photos ( which eased my mind) every time she dropped in. My pets looked happy and I know they were!! When I arrived home, I noticed that she left me a "Welcome Back Mommy" note from the pets, on the door. :) She even washed some dishes that I had left in the sink!! SO sweet!! I couldn't be more appreciative of Christine and how she took all of my anxiety away. I had no worries at all. I would definitely have Christine help me again with Caesar and Mahzick. Thank you...Woof & Meow..”



About: I absolutely love taking care of pet, especially with dogs and puppies. my experience came from taking care of my own pup since I was 10. My skill included potty training/ basic training and teaching them tricks. I enjoy spending time with pets, cuddling with them, and taking long walks. I spend majority of my free time hanging out with my dog and going on date with her haha. When I was younger, I would always volunteer when there are opportunities to help taking care of other people's pets because how could I not, they’re adorable!! Best part of being a pet sitter for me is the pleasure of appreciation is their of love and care! There's never too much love for these little guys! I am quite free, I work on my own schedule so I’ll have plenty of time to care for you pet and giving them my full attention I have a fenced yard so they can go out and enjoy the sun and when going to walk, i would make sure to double check their leash

About: Hi there, I'm Marco Nunes, the founder of Polo's Paws—a local business dedicated to providing insured, affordable, and high-quality care for dogs. My journey with dogs began when my family rescued a pup facing significant behavioral challenges. She was aggressive towards people and other dogs, and destructive when left alone, making daily life challenging. Determined to help her and others like her, I immersed myself in the world of dog care. I started my career at a dog daycare that offered private lessons and boarding. Under the mentorship of experienced trainers, I quickly learned effective techniques. I led pack walks with groups of 10 dogs, of various breeds and temperaments. Through this experience, I not only transformed my family dog but also gained the skills to help other families achieve the same relief and joy of having a well-socialized, happy companion. Today, my goal with Polo's Paws is to ensure every dog I work with is fully fulfilled and transformed, allowing families to enjoy their wonderful company without the stress of managing a restless dog. With Polo's Paws, you can trust that your dog will receive comprehensive care and training, tailored to their needs. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! I currently work part-time and it’s work from home, which means I spend all of my day with my dog—going on walks, playing, and ensuring they stay active and happy. Your pup will seamlessly join our routine, getting plenty of exercise, socialization, and enrichment throughout the day. Whether it’s a fun pack walk, playtime in my fenced yard, or relaxing downtime, I’ll make sure they have a fulfilling and enjoyable experience while in my care! I provide a secure and enriching space for your dog, whether in my home or yours. My home features a fenced yard and an in-building dog park, perfect for burning off energy. Your pup will also enjoy daily pack walks, just like the ones I led while managing groups of 10 dogs at a time in a doggy daycare. I have a friendly resident dog who loves company, creating a social and welcoming atmosphere. If needed, I can also crate dogs for rest and sleep, ensuring a structured and comfortable stay. Safety, trust, and a happy environment are my top priorities!

About: I fostered and trained service dogs for three years. In that time I also worked with a canine behaviorist who uses behavioral modification instead of treat training. I have done nail trims on many different dogs. During the summer I make my own work hours working with dogs. During the school year I work weekdays substitute teaching but am available weekends or after 4 pm. I am not able to pet sit at my home at this time as my housing does not allow animals. Over the summer I can either stay in your home full time or stop by to let your dog(s) out or take them for a walk.

Rhawnhurst pet parents share their Rover experiences
Вот перевод в дружелюбной форме для отзыва на английском: --- I’m so glad I reached out to her for help. She communicated with me every step of the way, showed real care and passion for what she does, and paid attention to the little things I didn’t even think to mention. I honestly couldn’t imagine better service. Not only did she keep my cat great company — which I’m so thankful for — but she even noticed how I take care of the trash and did the same, rinsing out the cat food cans before tossing them. I never asked for that, and it really touched me to see such thoughtfulness. I highly recommend her. If I ever need help again, I won’t even look around — I’ll go straight to Jennifer.

kaitlyn took such wonderful care of my tortie while i was away. not only was my kitty comfortable with her (which doesn’t happen all the time), her photos & notes made me feel completely at ease. she’s absolutely reliable, attentive, & kind, i’ll absolutely be booking with them again :)

Abby is great! She made sure my 2 cats were very comfortable and well taken care of. Every visit was on time and on point. She spent extra time with the shy one gaining her confidence, and getting her to eat when she wanted to hide at first. The way my cats responded to her you can tell she is a true animal lover. I highly recommend her services.

Julie did a wonderful job looking after our cat, Felix. He was shy with her initially, which we expected. But he warmed up to her as she fed him and played with him. Julie provided great photos and videos, which went a long way to comfort us pet parents missing our baby!

Mochi absolutely loves Bryce. He is so sweet and accommodating to all her needs. Mochi is a bit of a diva and also has terrible separation anxiety, and he handles it all well and in stride. I will definitely be booking Mochi with Bryce again. I feel that he will be an integral part of her life and wellbeing, and he has come her fast friend. I highly recommend Bryce.
