She is compassionate, patient, and knowledgeable when it comes to handling animals of all kinds. In the past, Elizabeth was my coworker at a skilled nursing facility and I have seen firsthand how dedicated she is to providing the best care possible. Although at the time she was caring for the geriatric population she has always shown a true passion for animals. I am confident that Elisabeth's experience and genuine love for animals make her the perfect choice to entrust with the care of your pets. Her dedication and professionalism are unmatched, ensuring that your cherished pet will be in good hands under her care.”

9. Tristan J.
About: I have grown up with large dogs since I was a young child. Growing up I frequently took care of relatives' animals when they were out of town. 3 years ago, in college, I adopted my own dog when he was 6 months old. He was completely untrained and afraid. I am proud to say that he and I both put in so much work into his training. I housebroke, leash-trained, and recall trained him on my own. He knows multiple commands and gets along with dogs of all sizes. He is one of the most important things in my life so I completely understand the love and care pet owners have when it comes to choosing care for their animals! I currently work part-time and am a law student (online). I do school from home in the evenings and spend a few hours each day studying. I am available to make 2-3 visits to your home for walks/potty breaks. I have a small fenced yard, quiet neighborhood, nearby dog park, 5 minutes from Hendry's beach. My dog is large but very gentle with small dogs and puppies. He also loves to rough house with dogs his size but is never too aggressive.
10. Paige T.
“I found Paige through my dog trainer after a long search. I have a reactive dog with separation anxiety. Paige loved Zach from the start and walked him for me for many months. He never wanted to leave me but she would take him quickly running around the corner and within 30s Zach was happy and ready to run or walk. She would also take him to the beach to run! Paige is a natural at pet care and a TRUE animal lover. Zach misses her terribly. You are lucky to have her!”
11. Meighan J.
“Meighan was great! She welcomed Gemma and took care of her for a few hours so we could have a nice dinner while exploring Los Olivios! We’ll definitely contact her again when we return!”
12. Harry P.

13. Sarah H.

14. Caroline S.
“A ton of experience as a dog walker. She’s handled my 110 lb Great Pyrenees that I had and takes good care of my husky I have now. She will make sure they are well looked after and get lots of pets.”
15. Christian P.
About: Pets have always been in my household since I was a child. Growing up, my best friend & I would hang out on his farm on the weekends where I truly connected with caring for pets. My personal activities of meditating and connecting with nature through physical activity help me connect with animals. Pet owners constantly appraise me for seeing there pet friends be calm & tranquil under my care. Leading with your heart makes pet care not a job but a loving experience for the little ones when your away from home. Time management is my strong skill with my administrative experience and can incorporate pet care during my downtimes. Also flexible if a pet has a certain schedule/ routine. Don't believe I can have pets in my household but will be checking in with the app yo disable this service to allow pets in my household.
16. Macy W.
“I have known Macy for most of my life. We have been childhood friends for 20 years and there is no one I know who has more of a loving heart for her pets. For most of her adulthood, Macy has either been a dog owner or has had a roommate who has owned a dog. She takes amazing care of all her pets. She is incredibly responsible and very trustworthy. I believe that Macy will be a great addition to Rover and every dog owner will feel reassured that their much loved family member is in good hands.”
17. Jade K.
“Jade is great with animals, she loves them and they love her. She is patient and kind and loves to teach dogs new tricks. Jade is a responsible young woman and her employers have always sung her praises. She is easy to work with and will go out of her way to help you and your pet.”

Safety is important to me… you can trust I will go above and beyond for you and your pets.
20. Kirsten L.
“Kirsten is a very loving, caring, and thoughtful dog person. Ever since she owned her first dog, Penny, (a fluffy PomaPoo full of life and energy), she began taking care of other dogs. With penny, she made sure to walk her every day before school, play with her, train her, and even bathe and brush her so she could stay cute and fluffy. It seemed like taking care of Penny inspired her because eventually she started her own business walking other dogs in our local community. Eventually, she became very passionate about sports and classes and she was unable to keep up with the walks but she's motivated more than ever to start again. Her unbridled passion for dogs is only matched by her hard work.”
