“Anna is great at handling an I-need-to-get-accustomed-to-you 90-pound lab. My schedule is hectic, and it is wonderful to have Anna to rely on!”
2. Gracie M.
“Gracie does such a good job with my two dogs. Will continue to rebook. She is patient with my little shy dog and makes sure my big rowdy guy gets a nice walk.”
3. Emi S.
About: I'm a lifelong animal person. I've always had at least one cat or dog literally since I was born. There are photos of me as a small baby nestled in a litter of kittens. I'm currently a proud cat lady and the human of a wonderful white marshmallow kitty and a sweet tabby kitten. I do like dogs as well, and usually owned at least one dog growing up. I'm not a professional trainer, but I know the basics of potty training puppies and generally teaching animals not to scratch furniture/beg/etc. I hope you'll consider me! I started this to supplement a part time job, but now I pet sit full time! My schedule is very flexible now, except for social commitments, existing bookings, and doctors appointments. On wednesdays I have a recurring doctor's appointment and then dungeons and dragons in the evening, so that's why I have it blocked off, but if you really want to book me on wednesdays I might say yes if its close by and a relatively short visit. I have a small apartment and don't live with any other humans so I understand the difficulties of traveling and trying to find a pet sitter. I'm completely fine with pet sitting in an apartment like mine or in a house, with or without a fenced yard. I'll adapt to whatever the animals and humans involved might need.
4. Laure M.
“I highly recommend Laure as a responsible and loving pet caregiver. I've known Laure for several years, and she is a true lover of all animals, including her own! A pet would be fortunate have Laure care for them.”
5. Nicole L.
“Nicole is the perfect person to ask to take care of your pet. She cares for nothing more than your pet’s happiness and health, and will go above and beyond for them. When she’s not cooing over how cute other animals are, she’s spoiling her own fur-baby, Bobby. I can’t recommend anyone better than her.”
6. Ben C.
“Ben is always amazing. I have been using his boarding service and always had a great experience. This is the first time I traveled for 2 weeks and needed his help to walk my dog during that time. I cant say thank you enough for how much he loves and cares for my dog. He is a truely dog lover, very reliable. Chelsea remembered Ben right away and was so happy when he came to walk Chelsea.”
7. Malek B.
“Malek is a dog whisperer! He was wonderful with our Australian shepherd puppy - who has a lot of energy and love to give! Malek took her on some great walks, and she was actually tired after! Thank you so much, Malek!”
8. Medha G.
“Medha is very passionate about the dogs she takes care of. She has a lot of experience working with dogs of all sizes and energy levels, making her very well prepared to take care of any dog. She will go out of her way to make sure a dog is happy and getting it what it needs. I have been in a club at school with her in which we train service dogs, where I have seen her practice and work with many dogs, gaining lots of experience handling them and learning how to be well in tune with their behaviors and needs. I would certainly recommend Medha to anyone who needs dog sitting.”
9. Rachel W.
“She is amazing ! I will always request her , I trust her and she goes above and beyond for her customers. My puppy and I are truly thankful for this lady.”
10. Julia S.
“Julia was fantastic! Easy communication and very reliable. We loved the photos of our pup she sent every day. Highly recommend!”
11. Suyenti G.
“Suyenti was nothing short of amazing. She stepped in last minute for me when another sitter was not working out, and took amazing care of my dog. It was nice to be able to enjoy my trip without having to worry.”
12. Christian N.
“Very communicative, super friendly and my dog loves him already, we are in our second week!”
13. Autumn N.
“Highly recommend Autumn for all your dog-walking needs! Did great with my anxious pup and communicated all concerns or needs.”
14. Emily G.
“Emily is the most loving, attentive, and responsible pet owner I have come across. In the five years that I have known Emily, I have also come to know her pup, Chloe, as the happiest, healthiest, most spoiled, and well cared for dog. She has taken in and cared for my cat, even when he was sick, and I know she has lots of experience with giving animals all kinds of medications. All in all, she is an incredibly kind, fun, and trustworthy person who will love to love your pet :)”
15. Monica G.
“Absolutely loved working with Monica! She is extremely communicative and really cares for your pet as if they are her own. We booked her for a week of hour long walks: she was on time, tuned the walk to the pet’s needs (which meant 2+ mile walks with my dog with water breaks!), and gave a great summary with photos after the walk. Would 1000% book again! My dog has a new friend with Monica ❤️”
16. Krystian G.
“Krystian was super at walking my two dogs while I was battling sciatica. He arrived on time, expressed concern for my condition and paid close attention to each of the dogs. He was very friendly and easy to work with. I will definitely call on him again.”
17. William B.
“William is wonderful with my dog, who is so excited to see him when he walks through the door. He is diligent, reliable and writes detailed summaries to let me know how my pup did during their walks. I would definitely recommend.”
18. Rachel G.
“Rachel was very communicative and sweet. She went above and beyond in her duties. I’d be happy to have her back!”
19. Justin C.
“My first experience with Rover and I will be back thanks to Justin. He was great with the dogs and utterly reliable. I appreciated the pics and reports especially the first time.”
