1. Daniel G.
“We feel very fortunate to have found Daniel, through Rover.com. We had a brand new puppy in our hands and needed someone to watch him for the periods when both my husband and I had to step out. Daniel is magical with our very high energy puppy. He not only gives him enough exercise, but is also helping him get house trained. He is gently guiding him to get over his nippy habits and constantly educating us as well. We are truly thankful for all the tips and tricks we learn from him about puppy care. Our puppy absolutely adores him! In a short period of time Daniel has proven himself to be very trustworthy and reliable. We will continue to lean on him to look after our puppy in the foreseeable future.”
2. Norlando M.
“Norlando is the most reliable, friendly, and respectful sitter I’ve ever had. He makes himself available to work within my schedule and goes out of his way to take my dog on long walks. He also must have a ton of patience, because my dog can sometimes be a bit excited and scared of others and yet Norlando is constantly sending me photos of him with new dog friends.”

“Finding the best dog walker and sitter was an absolute game-changer for our family! Matt has an incredible way with dogs, treating our fur baby like their own.

15. Elizabeth O.
About: I have spent many years taking care of my own pets and those of friends, family, neighbors and clients. I am tidy and keep your pet brushed and well taken care of. I am an LMT and love to massage cats and dogs as well, we are fast friends! I am currently working part time, so I have extra time for excellent pet care! I can walk dogs at least three times a day and spend plenty of quality time with your furry friends. I care for pets in their own home. I believe this is best for the animal to keep them in their own environment to minimize any stress of their family being away. I try to stick to their usual schedule as much as possible. I am great with animals, I am very intuitive and patient. They respond very well to me and we are fast friends, more pets please!
16. Jacqualyn P.
About: I've had plenty of experience interacting with and around all different types of animals, and am very comfortable caring for them all! I love spending time with all our loved ones and care for them all just as if they were my own. I will take care to show an ample amount of affection as well as giving your pet the exercise and mental stimulation it needs while you're unable. I'm here to help make your furry friend as comfortable and at home as possible so you can have peace of mind while away. I have a very flexible schedule and can modify to suit your needs. As of Jan 14, 2025 I will be in school M-Th 9:00am-12pm and F 10am-4:30pm. I modify my care to suit each clients preference and home environment. I would love to be filled in on any special needs or details that pertain to your pets care.
17. Ember R.
“Ember was super punctual and followed our instructions to a T! She was easy to communicate with through the entire process, and we came home to a happy cat and a clean house. Thank you, Ember!”
18. Brittany C.
“Brittany took wonderful care of my cat. She sent pictures daily and made an effort to engage with her daily (my cat is super shy). I had peace of mind my entire trip and would hire Britney again to take care of my cat.”
19. Maria N.
“Maria has stayed with my dog (shiba inu) on multiple occasions (both short-term and long-term for up to 3 weeks). She's definitely the best dog sitter I had in 5 years of having my dog. She's taken very good care of my dog, to the same level as if I was taking care of him. My dog isn't social and he doesn't like other dogs - it was not a problem for Maria and she easily adjusted the routine according to this need. Overall, I am very happy to recommend Maria to anyone who is looking for a reliable dogsitter/dogminder/dogwalker. She genuinely loves dogs and will take a great care of your pup.”
20. Tami W.
“Tami did a wonderful job taking care of my two senior kitties who both have health issues. She gave them their medication, fed them, spent time with them, and sent daily updates & pictures. Very happy that she was able to take care of them over thanksgiving holiday while I was out of town. Thanks Tami!”
