6. Claudia C.

“We've used many different people on Rover and Claudia is far and away the best! She's very responsive to messages, always shows up on time, and incredibly thoughtful - after walking our dog she noticed he was upset because there was another dog barking outside so she put Netflix on for him so he couldn't hear the barking! Would leave 10 stars if we could!”


7. Cassie S.

“Cassie has been wonderful with my silly little boy. I had to leave a review today after she went above and beyond! My little trash goblin made a huge mess everywhere and she helped put everything back to normal, with a smile on her face. I'm so lucky to have her take care of my house and my fur baby.”

About: As a dedicated dog caregiver, I provide customized care to meet the unique needs of every dog. Whether your dog enjoys energetic games of fetch, relaxed walks around the neighborhood or simply curling up on the couch, I adapt my approach to match their temperament, energy level and preferences. I have experience working with dogs of all ages and temperaments, including those with special needs like mobility challenges or sensory impairments. My goal is to ensure your dog feels safe, loved and well cared for at all times. My passion for dogs is rooted in my personal experiences. Clovis, my 16-year-old Yorkie who passed away on Sept. 15, 2024, was my soulmate and the strongest bond I’ve ever shared with a dog. His loyalty and love shaped my understanding of the deep connection we can have with our pets. Caring for him through his senior years taught me the importance of patience, compassion and adapting care to meet a dog’s changing needs. My first dog, Sadie, a miniature Schnauzer, taught me that while dogs live in families, they often choose one person as their human, and I was hers. Growing up, I also had a Chow Chow named Angel, whose independent nature taught me to respect each dog’s individuality. Today, my 14-year-old Shih Tzu, Cozie, continues to bring joy with her playful yet calming presence, while Brodie, a six-year-old Havanese I’ve cared for over the past year and a half, keeps me active and engaged with his curiosity and charm. Whether it’s helping manage health issues, sticking to routines or simply offering companionship, I bring the same care and dedication to every dog as I have for Clovis, Sadie, Angel, Cozie, Brodie and many others. My flexible schedule allows me to provide consistent attention, walks and playtime, ensuring your dog feels comfortable, loved and well cared for every step of the way. My flexible schedule adapts to pets' needs, ensuring consistent walks, play, and care - especially with a plan. I dedicate quality time for exercise, companionship, and snuggles, treating each pet with the same devotion I show my own pack. I've adapted my home and care routines to meet the special needs of my senior Yorkie, who is blind and deaf. I hand-feed him to ensure he eats comfortably and have installed custom features like specialized bowls and steps throughout the house. From cozy corners to stimulating play areas, I ensure safety, comfort and engagement, always respecting the pet's and owner's unique preferences.

About: If you’re looking for a last minute walk or night away then look no further! I’m a visiting nurse and have a flexible schedule and would love to hang out with a dog when not working! I love the outdoors and going hiking or just playing catch in the back yard. I love dogs, and have grown up with them all my life. That's why if you hire me I would give your dog the love and attention they deserve because I will treat it like my own! I am very comfortable with all breeds and sizes. Any questions please ask :) I have a flexible schedule so can accommodate your needs as long as I know a little ahead of time! We can discuss more if interested! I value taking great care of your dog. I will treat them like my own! I’m comfortable with them on furniture but if you don’t want that habit I can also make sure I respect those boundaries. Whatever your daily routine is I will replicate so they feel comfortable in my home.

“Zan is wonderful w our young pup, Zalie, and has been super patient with her puppy tendencies and needs. Zalie loves her time w Zan and always comes home well exercised and content! I also love the photos and notes post-walk! Thank you, Zan!”


12. Diamond M.
“Diamond is caring and respectful. My name is Melisa, and I am the best friend of Diamond and a former client who has watched my cat, Angel. I think she would be awesome for this and would love to take care of your pet!”




13. Jamie G.


“Jamie is wonderful with our puppy, Albus. She is incredibly accommodating and works with us to make sure Albus has care with our sometimes shifting/last minute schedule changes. We were worried about our puppy being home along during the day for long stretches of time, but with his lunch break with Jamie he gets plenty of play, love, and a bathroom break, putting us at ease while we're at work. Jamie has always followed any instructions we have left (feeding, etc.) and even administered medication for us. Best of all, we always get an update as to how Albus did and usually a beautiful picture as well. We're very happy to have found Jamie!”


14. Alexander R.


“Thank you Alex for taking such good care of my furry little luv! It was wet out for their 1st walk together and Alex was thoughtful enough to ask about a towel to dry Kingston off afterwards. We'll be looking forward to walks with Alex in the future! ????”


15. Stephanie B.
“My name is Mike and I have been in the dog walking and pet sitting business for almost 15 years. Over the years one of my biggest challenges was finding quality people to hire that I knew I could trust, and that my clients and their pets could trust (both with their pup, and in their home). Stephanie’s a dog mom to a very sweet lab, and I have observed her interacting with as many as 6 dogs at once. She has the right personality, demeanor, and energy to handle pups of various ages and energy levels and is very responsible and alert. Look no further if you’re looking for help with your pup. If I’d hire Stephanie (and I would!), you should too!”


16. Penfil P.
“Penfil rescued his dog Blake when he was just 2 months old. Penfil has always been great with dogs and is very caring of them and you can tell he truly cares for animals.”


17. Joyce A.
“Joyce is an amazing pet caregiver and I would wholeheartedly recommend her. She is strong, competent and extremely responsible. Joyce’s love of animals is very apparent!”

19. Sophia G.
“Sophia is a reliable and trustworthy person who genuinely loves and cares for all living things. She especially loves dogs and her dog adorable toy Aussie, Louie! Sophia enjoys spending time outside, exercising and exploring and beach walks with pups. You can trust her to take good care of your family member without concern.”

About: I am an animal lover and never met an animal I didn't like. I will give your dog so many belly rubs, I'll let them beat me in tug a war and we will go for long walks until they are pooped. I have been taking care of animals my whole life and currently have a cute little Shit Tzu, Norman. I will treat your pet as if it was my own! I am responsible and hard working. Your pet will be in amazing hands with me. I will make sure your pet gets all the love and attention it needs. I am not afraid of any size dog and I know that sometimes pets can be a bit skittish and shy, but that would scare me off. I currently work from home so my schedule is very flexible. I am able to drop in and take care of your pet at almost any time of the day! In my opinion the pets are in charge in my house. I always make sure they have everything they need. Fresh water, good food, lots of belly rubs.
