4. Kyle E.
“I am so glad we found Kyle to watch Willow and Archer. Our pups loved him and he is the only one that can walk them together with no issues. Kyle is very professional! Will definitely be a repeat client. Thank you Kyle for watching our fur babies.”
5. Ankur O.
“I couldn't have asked for a better caregiver for my dog. Ankur went above and beyond to make sure my pup felt comfortable, loved, and happy while I was away. From the constant updates and photos to the special attention to my dog's specific needs, I was totally at ease knowing my fur baby was in such caring hands. Ankur has such a natural connection with animals, and it was clear Theo felt comfortable and excited to be with him. They took the time to play, cuddle, and even gave Theo his favorite treats! I came home to a very happy and well-cared-for pup. I learned from Ankur that he recently quit his full-time job to take this up as a career because of his love for animals. That to me speaks volumes about his commitment in making sure my fur baby is well taken care of. I am happy that I found someone who genuinely loves dogs and treats them like family right in our neighborhood (South Riding). He is my go-to guy, and I highly recommend Ankur to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to look after their pet. No doubt Theo found a Purr-fect 2nd Best friend in Ankur and I will definitely book again!”
6. Jenifer & Steven S.
“Steven was amazing with Kiba, even agreeing to provide our pup with his meals when he dropped by to take him on a walk. I would definitely feel confident leaving our pup in his care again!”

“Jeong, is a great resource. I've worked with him for quite sometime and I can say his attentiveness, and his caring attitude makes him unparalleled. He is quite punctual and ensures my dog has had plenty of time to do his business along with getting a great amount of exercise. I highly recommend Jeong's services.”
9. Angelica R.

About: I have raised dogs since I was young. I often watch my friend’s dogs when they travel, so I know how to stay with them and what dogs like to do. All my family members love dogs and we will take care of your dog like our baby. The first day I meet a dog I stay with them all day long, sticking together, and watching them very carefully so I can understand their behavior; what they like or dislike. I want to ease their anxiousness and nervousness quickly. I want dogs to know that I am a good person to them. Of course I ask pet owners what their behavior is, but it is different when I watch them and understand them. Dogs can’t talk, but I can see if I watch them closely. I am a house wife and have two teenagers. I usually stay home on weekdays and weekends unless I’m traveling or am out for my kids ride or grocery shopping, but my other family members will be home. I usually wake up at 6:00 in the morning and take the dogs out to fenced back yard, let them eat, and go walk about a half hour if weather permits. I have a fenced yard and a friendly small dog. I can walk the dog at least twice a day as needed or let them go out to the backyard whenever they want to. I am home most of the time, but when I am not home, my family will be home so your dog won’t be home alone. Also, I will text pictures of your dog.
12. Sherine E.
About: Dogs are my passion I have taken care of them like my own, I used to have 4 dogs and wanted even more, I walk my dog twice everyday and can take care of multiple dogs with equal attention, love and care, I’ve had very hyper dogs and very calm dogs and can take care of all dog sizes I’m currently unemployed so I’m free on all weekdays from 10am-8pm, I don’t mind taking in dogs if their owner is gone for a few days. I have a huge backyard that they will love, I cook special food that’s organic and healthy to help with my dogs diet, I groom my dog twice a week and can keep dogs separated easily if needed and take care of multiple dogs at the same time, and I can play with dogs for as long as the day is
13. Lauren W.
“Lauren is fabulous with my pup! He absolutely adores her, and I know I can trust her to be on time and aware of all my dog's idiosycrincies (namely not letting him eat every inedible thing) while caring for him. Highly recommend!”
14. Abby S.
“Abby is great and very reliable. She has walked our dogs many times and when we need dog walking we think of her first. We know our dogs are in good hands with her and they are very happy with her. Highly recommended!”
15. Amy T.
“Amy has gone above and beyond to care for our dog, Lola. She really enjoys and takes great pride in what she does. She teaches new skills and is so caring. Her communication is great and she has our utmost trust. Definitely recommend!”
16. Andrea T.
“Very happy with Andrea. She was punctual and communicated with me to give me updates. I have 2 dogs and she was able to walk them without any issues. Def recommend her and will most likely use her services again!”
17. Amanda L.
“Amanda is great, and we would recommend her to anyone seeking pet services without hesitation! She's attentive, patient, and truly cares for our dog. Communication with Amanda is a breeze, and she's an extremely pleasant person. So glad we found her on Rover!”
18. Apoorva S.
About: I’ve personally owned a small dog for 10 years now and am very involved with her care. I grew up independently taking care of many fish and hamsters and grew to love them more than life. I also dedicated a an entire summer volunteering at an animal shelter called “Fancy Cats.” I have a lot of compassion and patience, your loved one is in great hands with me! I’m an aspiring social work grad student so all I’m doing now is working on applications and volunteering. I also work part-time during the school year as a substitute teacher but again, my schedule is very flexible. I won’t be able to provide services in my own home but am happy to accommodate any needs your pet has in your home. I am very detail-oriented and prepared so any special requests are not a problem!
19. Chris N.
“Chris has been nothing short of a superstar every time we use him! Our dog has slightly special needs due to a medical condition and he is so amazing with her that we cannot recommend him enough!!”
20. Kristin C.
“Kristen is really excellent with Smarty, Tatu and Umbrella. She easily walked them all together! They took to her right away. Also Kristen is professional, courteous, and absolutely reliable. So glad I found her!”
