“Graci is a very professional pet sitter! I had her come and watch my dog and cats when I was out of town for a weekend and she was fantastic. She took my dog out in more walks than expected, always made sure food and water was filled, and spent time playing with our cats. On top of being professional, she is also very sweet, and very communicative! She sent lots of pictures of my pets while I was gone to keep me updated. I would recommend her to anyone!”

They have requested her again this week for a drop in so I hope she is available. It is a relief when you find someone with a love for animals and she enjoys my pups as well.”

“I am delighted to recommend Athena for Rover. She has been a trusted caretaker for my dog, Dio, on multiple occasions. Dio absolutely loves her, which speaks volumes about her ability to connect with animals. Athena is incredibly caring and attentive. Her experience as a professional caretaker, having worked with both children and seniors, shines through in her interactions with pets. She is thorough, responsible, and always ensures Dio is happy and well-cared for. Athena's natural affinity for caretaking roles, combined with her professionalism, make her an ideal candidate for Rover. She would undoubtedly make both pets and their owners feel comfortable and assured.”

17. Jeff B.
“Jeff has been walking and dog sitting my frenchies for a couple years. He’s very reliable, responsible, prompt and communicative. He’s a caring and experienced dog owner himself. He sends photos of the dogs enjoying their walks and playing in the backyard. He is easy to get in touch with if something comes up and has even gone out of his way to water our plants or take in the mail when gone for a long time. I recommend Jeff for your pet sitting and walking needs and will continue to trust and rely on him to help when I need it.”

About: Hi! My name is Adaora, I’ve been surrounded by dogs and cats since I was 10 years old, and have taken care of my family’s now senior dog most of his life, so I’m well versed in all stages of dog life at this point. Currently I have one 2 year old dog who I raised from 3 months old (who is very high energy, so there will be plenty of walks and exercise while your pup is here.) I also have experience training dogs, so if you need some additional help with basic commands and dog walking, I’d be happy to assist! I am a student full time during the week, but have availability and a lot of energy throughout the weekends from sitting in class all day, which is where your dog comes in! I love spending my time with my dog and others dogs, and I spend as much time as I can outdoors in my backyard gardening or going on walks and hikes which is always more fun accompanied by a furry friend! I have a fenced in yard and 1 other doggo who has plenty of energy and toys laying around the house to help entertain your pup. A typical daycare day will usually look like hanging out outside for a bit, play time with me, snack time, at some point I’ll separate the doggos so they can all rest, then we’ll go for a walk and maybe snuggle up inside for a bit. If everyone is particularly energetic we’ll go back outside and play again. My goal here is to give your dog a fun, stress free place to be while you are at work or away for the day/weekend, because that’s always what I want for my dog when I’m gone.
