1. Kristina O.

“I am so grateful for Kris! She is so kind and accommodating. Our dogs are a little high maintenance (one has some behavioral issues and the other has special needs) and she was more than happy to take care of them. In the past when we’ve had a poor experience with other walkers my dogs are stressed when I get home. Every time Kris has taken care of my dogs they seem so calm and content! She leaves detailed notes about the visit and sends lots of pictures, which I appreciate. She also stopped by to meet them beforehand to make sure it was a good fit. I would 100% recommend her services and will continue to book with her!”


2. Victoria D.

“Always know our pup is in great hands! Love seeing the pictures from the day and getting details on how she’s doing! Tori takes great care for our dog and is always reliable!”


3. Lesley C.
“Lesley did a wonderful job walking my dogs while I was away at work. She was timely and communicated well with me. I felt my dogs were well cared for. I would recommend Lesley to anyone needing dog walking services. Would definitely book her again in the future!”


4. Tawny B.

“Tawny has been great. She really pays attention to our dogs needs: Tawny is dependable and responsible.”


5. Alicia O.
“Alicia is our go to pet sitter / dog walker. Her communication and responsiveness always keeps us ensured that our dog is in good hands. Any long stay with Alicia has always included lots of pictures during long walks, extensive play time, and special care at meal times. Highly recommend her to everyone we can!”


6. Kelly H.

“Kelly did an outstanding job walking Colt for me on Thursday and Friday mornings this week while my regular dog walker Tara was out of town visiting her daughter at college in Florida. Kelly was right on time every day and she bonded quickly with Colt and she really impressed Tara also when she came over a couple of weeks ago for a meet and greet and walked the route with Tara and Colt. Kelly walked Colt over 2 miles each morning in an hour very consistent with his walks with Tara and myself when I walk him on the weekends. She responded promptly to my request when I first contacted her and Kelly definitely exceeded my expectations!! She is very friendly and courteous and made me feel confident and completely at ease with walking Colt and I’m so glad that she is very physically fit to give Colt great exercise walking in the woods and around the two horse pastures in the early mornings when Colt is feeling his best and most active. I will definitely want and need her assistance again very soon in the near future since Tara travels out of state fairly often to visit her family.”


7. Hailee C.

“We are so glad we found Hailee on Rover! Max warmed up to her right away and seemed very happy from the pictures on the walk! Will definitely be booking again!”


8. Annie O.

“My dogs love Annie! Even my dog who typically does not like other people loves the little treats Annie brings and the walks she takes them on. My dogs were well taken care of and got to socialize with Annie's dog during their boarding stay. Annie is flexible and reliable and goes out of her way to be helpful. Highly recommend!”


9. Megan L.

“Great, punctual, was able to come last minute. She was very kind and had a great walk with Francesca! Will definitely be booking on a recurring basis!”


10. Alyson F.

“Alyson came on time and took Eli on his favorite walk. She shared great pictures and her communication was outstanding. We highly recommend her and will use her again in the future if she's available!”


11. Ashley A.

“Ashley was attentive, on time, and let me know the status of every walk. Thank you!”


12. Tara B.

“Tara does an amazing job with my Luna! She communicates well, is timely, and always takes great care of my girl. Tara is thoughtful and often takes time to do little things that mean so much. I would recommend her without hesitation. Her character and heart are golden!”


13. Hannah P.

“Thank you for all your help, Hannah! I would highly recommend letting Hannah care for any of your fur babies. I always love the pictures and updates she provides after every walk :)”


14. Heather W.
About: Respectful, kind, and energetic. It took a year for an aggressive dog to become friends with me. His mom and dad hadn't had a vacation in years. But finally the day came and it was wonderful. Senior needs and medications are no problem. Playtime and walk-ins, no problem! Pup with extra energy that needs to be run off, no problem. We are early risers and think 9pm is an acceptable bedtime. I keep an organized schedule and prefer advanced notice BUT I know that's not always possible. Same day service are available because things/emergencies happen. I am happy taking care of all the babies and do it for free if I didn't have to pay rent. I retired from the fire service a few years ago due to injuries but I'm an active person who loves all the babies.


15. Susan, Brian, Jesse & Nicholas I.
“Susan and her family have cared for pets and done a great job! They have their own dog and he is wonderful and sweat. I would recommend Susan and her family for pet care.”


16. Sarah C.
“My dogs loved Sarah! She was very flexible and provided my crazy, loving bunch with so much attention while I was away. I loved seeing her kids smiling with the dogs too! I was totally confident in my dogs well being and appreciate Sarah’s acceptance of our crazy family schedule! I’ll definitely book again if she’s willing to come back, ha! Thank you!!!”




17. Kristen T.


“Kristen was wonderful and so communicative. She clearly loves dogs and understands their needs. We would love to continue having her take care of our pup and cannot recommend her highly enough!”


18. Pamela D.
“I used Pamela for a last minute out of town work trip to watch my two dogs. She was amazing and my two dogs who are usually pretty timid with new people absolutely loved her from first meeting. I felt comfortable leaving my furbabies in her care. She stuck to their schedule, showed up on time, gave them plenty of care and love, and followed all instructions. I will definitely be using her again in the future!”


19. Cynthia H.
“I’ve known Cynthia for more than 12 years. In all the years I’ve known her she’s always had at least one or two pets. I think animals gravitate to her because of her kindness. She is loving and caring with her animals, and with my own. Several of her pets have special needs and she is very attentive to their medication and feeding schedules. She’s the best, your pets will be in good hands with her.”


20. Paulina R.
“Paulina is dependable and excellent with animals. My pug Serena just loves her!! I will definitely use Paulina again whenever I need help with my fur babies.”
