“Sarah was awesome for her drop-in visit and graciously shared her extensive knowledge with us—as new dog owners, we sincerely value her guidance and support with our dog.”


2. Vanessa M.

“We needed a sitter at the last minute and Vanessa came in a saved the day. She followed our instructions to the letter and she sent photos of our little guy, which put our minds at ease. Vanessa is a caring, pet lover whom we've trust completely. Her customer service is top notch and she's a pleasure to interact with. We'll continue to use and recommend her to others as long as she's associated with Rover.😺”


3. Ching C.
“Bo is a responsible and thoughtful caregiver. She listened to my needs. She was great at calming my dog down. My dog is very active and likes to jump at people. She was able to control him with love and care. She was also able to assist in brushing when I was not.”


4. Tina Y.

“Tina was amazing at making Maple feel comfortable and quickly built rapport with her. She followed my instructions and was able to give the most care to Maple.”


5. Priscilla S.
“Priscilla is one of a kind. She is a reliable person and goes above and beyond when it comes to taking care of my 70lb pitbull. You can tell right away how much she cares for others and how important their needs are. She is confident and strong. I have left her with my dog for over a week before and know if I needed her to watch him for longer I would trust he would be in good hands and would not be worried one bit while away. She is active which helps because with bigger dogs you definitely need someone who is down to go on a lot of walks and tire them out. She is clean and respectful of spaces. I would 100% recommend her as an amazing pet caregiver”


6. Bethany B.
“Bethany was my neighbor and would take care of my little one when I was on vacation. I always knew she would send photos and update me, as well as ask me any questions she might have. It was great to know I had someone nearby who cared for him like I did (he has since passed away from old age). He would always get excited to see her because she brought hai favorite treats.”


7. Arlene mae E.
About: Since I was a kid, I have always loved pets. When I was 11 years old, I was the one who fed our four dogs. I loved spending time with them—I even taught them how to sit, lie down, give a high five, and more. Every time I came home from school, we would play together. Back in 2020, I rescued my deaf cat, Lili, after seeing her attacked by a stray dog in our town. She even had a broken bone, and I couldn’t just leave her like that, so I decided to adopt her. As time passed, I didn’t realize that my cat family was growing. Now, I have rescued 2 cats and i have been feeding 13 stray cats that goes in our backyard It’s just sad that I had to leave them with my dad in our home country because I had to move to the United States. We have 3 dogs, 2 indoor cats, 1 stray dog and 13 stray cats that i have been feeding. I am not currently working because I’m still looking for a job, so I have plenty of free time and a flexible schedule that i could spend with your pets Right now, we don’t have any pets at home, but I always leave cat food outside our door in case a stray cat passes by, so they can have something to eat. I can walk, play with, teach tricks, and even bathe your pets if you'd like!


8. Natalia A.

“Natalia is amazing and she was great with my dog! She was punctual and responsive and also sent great pics of my dg while we were out of town. Will totally use her services again! Thank you!”


9. Marlene P.

“Marlene just did the first drop in visit for our two dogs. She was very communicative, punctual, and made sure to secure the house when she left. Plus it was a very rainy day, and she got the dogs all cleaned up when they came in from the yard. Glad we found a reliable person.”


10. Whitney N.


“Wonderful walker! Will use again in the future.”

12. Caitlin O.


“We had an incredible experience with our Caitlin in checking in on our kitties! Not only was she consistently communicative, providing updates and photos that gave us peace of mind, but she also displayed remarkable flexibility in accommodating our schedule changes. Our kitties were clearly well-cared for and content upon our return. We highly recommend her services and appreciate the outstanding care she provided. Thank you for going above and beyond!”


13. Jamile G.

“Jamile was absolutely wonderful! My dog can be a bit standoff-ish to say the least. Within 20 mins of meeting, Jamile was able to get Millicent to come to her! I knew my dog was in more than capable hands. I would highly recommend Jamile. She is kind, thoughtful, and really cares about your pet.”


14. Lisa R.
“Lisa is incredible! She’s not only a lover of animals, but has dedicated her life to saving dogs!! We rescued our dog, Finney, from her rescue organization over a year ago and she has been a HUGE help in our transition into being doggo parents :) Lisa dog sits for us very regularly. Only dog owners know how awesome it feels to go on a trip knowing that your dog is in great, trusted hands. Our dog always comes back tired and happy! Thanks, Lisa!!”

17. Katherine M.
“Katherine is such a loving, caring, energetic, responsible and most importantly attentive/very good observer when it comes to the fur babies. On top of that, she is a very communicative person will let you know if anything needs to be known to you which makes every pet parent feel more comfortable and safe. She is the best, your fur babies are definitely safe and sound with her!”


18. Alison R.
“Alison is a loving, responsible and reliable lover of dogs. I’ve known her for 30+ years as a very conscientious person. You will love her!”


19. Amy W.
About: I've had the pleasure of caring for a range of pups, from playful puppies to wise seniors, through doggy daycare, house sitting, and daily walks. I’m currently the proud mother of a 100-lb, 6-year-old German Shepherd Mix who’s been with me since he was just a few months old. I love long strolls (on the sidewalk), epic games of tug-of-war, and fetch marathons. Meeting new doggie friends is always a highlight of my day. Who enjoys these activities more, me or the dog? We’ll find out! I work from home and will be available to care for your dog as requested. Please note any specific requests regarding your dog's preferred schedule. My dog is spoiled and has plenty of toys to share: feeding toys, edible chews, chew toys, fetch toys, tug toys, the works. I will follow your wishes on how you care for your dog and will send pictures and updates. I welcome the opportunity for you to visit us in advance to ensure you and your pet are comfortable in our home.


20. Kacie S.

“We are happy to have found Kacie! She’s punctual, responds quickly, and showed a genuine interest in getting to know our fur babies. She paid attention to all the details and I’m so glad to have her looking after our two kitties. I highly recommend Kacie!”
