Zoraya was wonderful with our pup. She was able to watch him in a pinch and sent lots of updates with pictures and videos, just like we like. We’ll definitely book with her again!

Great experience. This was my first time using Rover and my puppy’s first time being away from me. I got pictures of him everyday to know he was ok and it looked like he had a great and very comfortable time. I will definitely book again if I have to go out of town again. Very nice and caring with the dogs.

Alexis was an amazing last minute dog sitter after my prior plans with another sitter fell through. Moose was immediately happy to see her and ready to go spend the weekend his weekend away from home. Got daily updates/pics annd always knew he was getting plenty of love/attention. Would recommend 10/10.

The family took such great care of Simba! He was so happy playing with the other dogs. Erica sent lots of pictures, and it was clear that a lot of quality time was put in. I felt like Simba was with an extended family rather than strangers. I highly recommend them and will definitely be booking with them all the time!

About: Genuine love for pets. I naturally care for their well-being and love the affection I get from all animals. My family and I have 5 dogs of our own and recently we were adopted by our newly stray cat, Carey. We have been fostering dogs since Thanksgiving of 2017 and we have learned a lot how all pets deserve second chances and how each one of them heals at their own time. My dog walks are tailored to your pet needs, I will focus on the safety of your pet and myself during my service. You can trust that your pet will always be in loving and caring hands. Dog walking would be my primary activity next to my English classes. I will work with you to make sure that your pets needs are met in a timely manner. At home we have a fenced backyard and at my customers' homes I make sure that safety is a priority during my service. That means that I would make sure that your pet is properly secured and that is happy while we are together.

I could not be happier with Elezha’s care of our Khloe. She kept me informed of her daily activities and sent pictures each day. Khloe was extremely well taken care of and was right at home when I picked her up. Elezha definitely cares and it shows! I will definitely be contacting her again if we ever need services again. It’s a great feeling to know Khloe was left with someone who cared for her like family. Five stars for sure!!

My Nina requires patience, lots of it, and Casandra and her husband Donald had tons of it. They provided a very dedicated care to my dog, excellent, constant, often, extensive communication with many photos, took my dogs on walks and provided family companionship which is the best kind a dog can get. They’re very kind and professional and you can tell they truly love dogs and aren’t doing this just for money! God Bless them! I’m definitely coming back to them as soon as I need it. 100% recommended !

Jordyn was amazing with my dog. She tends to be a little anxious, but Jordyn had her playing with other dogs and really building her confidence. I loved that she kept me abreast of how my dog was doing by sending descriptive texts and photos. I would definitely let Jordyn sit my Chilly again!

Emily did a wonderful job boarding my dog for a long weekend. She was responsive, gave updates, and followed care instructions. My dog has a moderately high energy level and she was able to take him on two long walks a day to meet that. I'd happily book with Emily again in the future.

Claudia was very welcoming and understanding. She did an amazing job taking care of Poh! She was very attentive and caring, and even took the time to brush him and clean his bed, which I really appreciated. Poh looked happy, comfortable, and well cared for when I got back. She also took the request last minute, which made everything so much easier and less stressful. I would definitely trust Claudia again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable and caring for their pets.❤️
