“I just moved into my new house and was so lucky that Christina was available to dog and house sit for me. She sent me the cutest pictures and I could tell that my dog was super happy and well taken care of. She is the best!”

“Timothy did a great job walking Puddin’! Puddin mentioned that Timothy communicated very well, was always on time, and he felt comfortable and confident on his walks.”

“Sabina was amazing with my Rosy while I went home for the holidays. She was very professional and communicative, and she went above and beyond in making sure Rosy's needs were met. Even when unexpected issues arose, she handled them promptly, kept me posted on every step, and gave me options on how to handle the situation. I never once doubted that Rosy was in great hands.”

“I am so relieved to have found someone who was able to connect with my 20 month old 110 lb white Shepard. Kimba has a traumatic history and I have worked really hard to rehab him mentally since adopting him a few months ago. He immediately took to Anthony and put his fear-based aggression aside. Anthony constantly sent me updates with photos and followed all my requests to keep Kimba on his daily routine. I highly recommend Anthony to care for your dog.”

About: I’ve been taking care of pets all my life, as I’ve come from an animal loving family! I’ve additionally pet sit for friends and family and am comfortable with adapting to different energies as well as administering special diets and medications. I’m a fairly active person who loves getting out of the house and moving, and my neighborhood is very walkable- full of one way streets and wide sidewalks! My boarding rate is higher than my other rates because I only ever board one pet at a time. Your pet will be getting individual, dedicated care in a safe environment! I work remotely, so am home most of the day. I am available for regular care of your pet and the flexibility of my schedule allows me to take breaks as needed! My home is pet and smoke and pet free, and the back patio has six foot high cement walls. I have a pet gate on my staircase for when I leave the house, so no fear if your furry friend likes to scrounge in clothing or laundry! Additionally, the entrance to my house has a secondary door which is always closed, so there’s no chance of accidental pet breakouts while entering or leaving the house.
“Have I mentioned how great Bri is? It's the sheer smile on the pups faces when they come back! I absolutely love her and she is so great with them! Everyone needs a Bri for their pups too! Thanks again Bri!”

“Karyssa has been an incredible dog walker and an absolute lifesaver for me and my pup. She’s reliable, punctual, and clearly loves what she does. From day one, she took the time to get to know my dog’s personality, quirks, and needs, which made a huge difference in how quickly my dog warmed up to her. Each walk is more than just a bathroom break—Karyssa makes sure my dog gets real exercise, stimulation, and attention. She always provides thoughtful updates and pictures after every visit, which I truly appreciate. It’s clear that she genuinely cares and treats my dog like her own. Having someone I can trust with my pet is priceless, and I’m so thankful to have found Karyssa. She’s dependable, kind, and passionate, and I can’t recommend her highly enough!”

About: I have loved and cared for dogs my entire life, growing up with family pups since childhood. Rescue dogs hold a truly special place in my heart, which inspired my husband and me to adopt our first rescue puppy together. We dedicated ourselves to her training, turning a sweet, active pup into an excellent, well-mannered walker. Through a lifetime of pet ownership, I understand the patience, consistency, and deep love that dogs need, and I'm excited to bring that same dedicated care to your furry family member this summer! I am a school counselor off for the summer, and with my kids at camp during these hours, your pup will have my 100% undivided attention. Perfect for midday walks and check-ins! Whether I’m coming over for a midday walk or a quick drop-in, your pup will get my full attention. I'll make sure they get a good walk at their own pace, fresh water, and whatever feeding routine they're used to. Most importantly, I'm there to give them plenty of love, belly rubs, and playtime so they don't get lonely while you're out. I'll always send you a quick photo update to let you know how they're doing and make sure your house is locked up tight before I leave.
“Lenny had such an amazing walk, and Shqiponja was very thoughtful and communicative. I really appreciate her being in the area and recommend for all rover related needs!”

“Amazing! 🤩 Hannah is very punctual and always goes above and beyond. She treated my dog like family, and I couldn’t have asked for better care. I would definitely recommend her!”

“Jiawei is a super hero! She saved my day after I booked with another walker and they cancel last minute. She was quick to respond to my last minute booking and showed up immediately so I can introduce her to my boy “Gunner” and break down all the details and instructions for his walk and care. I highly recommend her and will surely be using her myself in the very near future.”

About: I have ten years of experience working with seniors in the past and I have 3 amazing, older kids that love to care for animals. I took some time off of work to help homeschool my kids. But my kids have a pretty easy schedule. Therefore, I have a lot of time to care for animals. I have a pregnant neighbor so she usually needs help with her dog. I like to give them 2-3 walks a day, bathe them if needed, feed them dog food with lots of nutrients, and make sure they are hydrated. My clients dog is pretty chill so I usually just pet him and feed him.
About: I have grown up with animals of all kinds in my home and life. Currently have three dogs and four cats, but have experience with most animals, big and small. I am always the one to call in my family and friend circle for any pet related need, help, or concern. I am also experienced in crate training for all dog ages. Currently I have a very flexible schedule. I do work from home half the week so that allows for more time for animals. Can do short notice bookings when necessary. All fur-babies will get the care and attention needed while in my care. Whether that be extra potty breaks, walks, outside time, or just extra pets.
About: I have a senior dog of my own, who I have helped raise since she was a puppy. Therefore, I know how to care for dogs of all ages, and am trustworthy to do so! I have also occasionally babysat a pair of puppies in favor to a friend! French bulldogs, specifically. Every day of the week, I am responsible for feeding, cleaning up after, and caring for my dog and three cats. Making them happy is my top priority! On Sundays, I volunteer at my local cat café to provide this same care. I have developed very close relationships with these cats, as if they were my own! I know every pet is different, therefore having different needs or guidelines that must be followed. I will make sure every pet under my care receives the same love and attention, no matter how that may change depending on your pet’s specific needs!

I highly recommend Alexys for your pet care needs! I’ve been working with her for about a month, and she has quickly become one of my most trusted, go-to sitters. She is incredibly professional, kind, and communicates effectively, which I truly appreciate given my busy schedule. Most importantly, she takes wonderful care of my dog; I can see how comfortable my pup is with her, and the frequent updates during bookings give me complete peace of mind. Don’t hesitate to reach out to her!

Jack has been absolutely wonderful with our dogs, Birdie and Lucia. From the moment they met, Birdie didn’t even look back once she started walking with Jack, and she’s thrilled after every walk. Jack is very in tune with our dogs’ different personalities and needs, and we are so grateful to have someone so kind and trustworthy to care for our pets.
