“Michael arrived promptly at the discussed time. He was appropriately cautious for a new meeting with a dog and allowed Sophie to lead the introduction. She immediately felt at ease with him! The walk was completed and I even received a picture update along the way. I will definitely schedule with Michael again to help with Sophie!”

“Olivia was tasked with visiting and walking our dog while we were on vacation. She was consistently on time, extremely good with communication and obviously has a lot of passion for animals and this shows in the care that she provided for our dog Raya. It made our vacation much more relaxing knowing Olivia was checking in on her. We will book her again for sure!”
About: I am the proud grandchild of a certified crazy pet lady. My grandmother had five cats and two dogs for most of my childhood, so I am well-versed in the patience and love it takes to care for your pets. I work part-time and am fortunate to make my own schedule a lot of the time, giving me plenty of time for pet care! I also find myself out and about in the city all the time, so I’d love the opportunity to care for your pets while exploring new neighborhoods. I know that your space is your own (and your pet’s, of course) and I will be sure to treat it with the care and respect that I would my own.

About: I’ve taken care of pets I grew up with. This gave me the experience of taking care of puppies, that grew to be elderly dogs. I can take an energetic puppy for a tiring walk or be patient with the senior who needs extra breaks. I’m experienced in preparing different meals for dogs with dietary needs as well. I currently work part time leaving most my availability between 9a-2p. But I have specific days that I will have fully open for pet care. I am often the go-to pet sitter for my family/friends. I try to receive a routine that the pet is used to, so I can follow it to keep the animal(s) as comfortable as possible. I shower every animal with love, if it welcomes it and want to take the best care of anyone’s pet.

Meilin W.
“Lin watched our 4 cats last summer while we were in Spain for 2 weeks. Each cat was on a different dietary plan and Lin followed the plan perfectly. They came in twice a day and played with all the cats and sent adorable pictures and videos. They also cleaned the litter boxes regularly and took care of our waste disposal. I would highly recommend Lin as a pet caregiver and they would be my highest choice to watch our cats again.”

Jeremy & Laura P.
“Jeremy and Laura are just genuinely loving people who want the best for every animal that comes into their care. When they had their own dogs, you could tell how much they adored them. I have a puppy as well and they treat him as if he's their own, as well as give me helpful training advice. They'll notice the little things, like if your dog prefers a certain toy or has a particular routine. They're the type of people who will send you updates throughout the day because they know how much you worry when you're away from your pet. Highly recommend Jeremy and Laura!”
Anamaria M.
“I’ve let Anamaria care for my pets a couple times and all I can say is I will be letting her care for them again! Her and my baby Gracie got along so well it was like they were true friends. Gracie can be very finicky with new people but she warmed right up. My other dog Benny was even wining when Ana left. She has a very gentle and calming touch with animals and is very trustworthy, if you’re looking for a new pet walker or overnight sitter, let her know! Thanks Ana for everything 🖤”
Smoketown Jackson dog parents share their Rover experiences
Thomas is awesome with dogs, and we will definitely keep using him in the future. Our dog loves him, and we are very comfortable leaving him in Thomas's care. Thomas is very professional and clear on his plan of care and overall expectations from the beginning and sends confirmation messages/texts to make sure we are all on the same page before we leave for our trip. He does exactly what we want him to do and sends lots of pictures of our big guy while on walks and lounging around. It makes traveling so much easier when you know your pet is well taken care of while you are away.
