4. Michelle M.
“Michelle was a great dog walker and helped out when we were in a real pinch to get Maggie walked. She was professional, on time and it was so nice to know Maggie and I could count on her. And Maggie loved Michelle too! Excellent dog walker!!”
5. Adina B.
“How lucky we are that we found Alina. Our Cockapoo, Honey, does not prefer to walk with a stranger when she cannot still view our house. Adina was firm and lifted her up for a little way and then put her down onto the pavement and with encouragement got Honey to finish the walk. In the past, Honey was scared to go to the dog park and if she went there she growled at other dogs. Adina has gotten her to feel secure and enjoy going there. This is a huge change and is expanding our dog’s activities.”
6. Annie A.
“Annie is fantastic! The funny part is I have never met her, but my other half did and said she was an angel! She is super accommodating for me and my pup. She sends pictures, and keeps me updated. She keeps our home safe, and makes sure it’s all locked up when she leaves. She was even willing to take my pup to the vet when he was sick and I was working. I use her weekly and say enough good things :)”
7. Sunny G.

Brandon takes the time to understand my dog's unique needs, and it’s clear that he treats every pup like his own.

11. Donna F.
About: I have had dogs for over 8 years and wouldn't be without a fur baby! I have had my fur friends since they were puppies and have successfully trained them both to be obedient and well mannered. I work from home and can be very flexible with my time. I am new to Rover, but not new to pet sitting. I often take in my friends dogs when they are away on vacation. I currently work part time and the majority of my work is working from home. There are occasional weekends that I may have to go to the office. I have a fenced in back yard with 2 pups of my own. Both are rescues and are very good with other dogs. I am happy to walk your pup as often as you require and happy to stay at your home.

20. Quinn B.
“Quinn has taken care of my dog, Sneakers, on many occasions. She and Sneakers have gotten to know each other so well that Sneakers will get very excited to greet Quinn when she comes in the house. Quinn is a caring and diligent caretaker who is also happy to get on the floor and play if that is what the pup likes. Quinn has years of animal experience and has worked on horse farms, with wildlife, and at a vet clinic. Her experience with animals means she is able to scan their body language and can tell when they are happy, nervous, hungry or if something is wrong. Or at least that has been the case with Sneakers. Quinn is my go-to dog-sitter for Sneakers. I trust her to always provide top-notch care and also companionship when I am away. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a caretaker for their pet!”
