Great first experience. Nicholas was prompt, friendly and understanding. Roxxie was happy to see him and had a good walk. We will definitely be a return customer.

Erica is a new walker for my 6 y.o. Cane Corso mix, Rylee. Rylee has had several past owners and Erica is gentle and kind with her, letting Rylee set the pace of getting to know each other. With Erica's background in pet ownership as well as rescue work, I am confident in her taking Rylee for walks and Rylee is getting quality time and maximum effort during those times. Highly recommend.

I recently had Rachit take care of my dog, Dragon, and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience. Rachit was extremely responsible and caring, ensuring that Dragon was well-fed, exercised, and loved. He kept me updated with pictures and messages throughout the stay, which really put my mind at ease. Dragon seemed to enjoy his time with Rachit, and I could tell he was in good hands. I highly recommend Rachit to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive pet sitter. Thank you, Rachit, for taking such great care of Dragon!

Christine has always been incredible with every dog she’s encountered. Each dog she’s had has been well-trained and well-behaved, which speaks to her genuine love and dedication to their well-being. She knows how to enforce good behavior while maintaining appropriate boundaries, never enabling bad habits. I have two dogs with completely opposite personalities—one is very outgoing and friendly, while the other is extremely shy and reserved. When caring for my dogs, Christine was great at giving my timid dog the space she needed to feel comfortable, while consistently building a positive relationship with both of them. She’s the first person I turn to when I need someone to look after my pups. Without a doubt, if Christine is watching your dog, you can rest assured knowing they’ll be in excellent hands.

Allison was a great dog sitter for me while I was traveling and my mom was unable to walk my dog. She was on time each day and interacted nicely with my beagle providing me with photos. My mom said she was very reliable and good with my dog.

Darby had been fantastic with walking Lady. She has a lot of energy and can get overstimulated by all of the activity around her so she really needed a dog walker that is able to work with her and be a bit more patient which made Darby a perfect fit. He has been reliable and takes great pictures as well!

Kristen is so great with my pup Petey. Petey's a VERY anxious and reactive dog, and he was going through a lot of adjustments before Kristen started with him. Petey's confidence is building in large part because Kristen is very in tune with his needs. She's gets a good read on his behaviors and disposition and gives me good details in RoverCards of his walks and mood during their visits.

Lucille is great! Our dog Azul is reactive, in some cases quite severely (resource guarding etc), so finding people to help care for him is always a bit tricky. Lucille has a really kind and calm demeanor with him and he seems to like her a lot! She's also been respectful of the management we have in place for Azul's reactivity, including being comfortable putting a muzzle on him for walks.

Niko is one of the most responsible and dependable people I know. I have counted on him to pet-sit for me on several occasions, and he has always been able to provide excellent care to my pets while I am out of town. I can’t recommend him enough!

Sierra is the best!!! She always makes sure to let us know how Charlie did and what he was doing at home (he’s naughty sometimes). She’s very thrust worthy and reliable. I’m sure our puppy is in good hands when she’s there with him. She also sends us lots of pictures, and is always conscious about heat.
