“Lashonna’s first day with my pups and I couldn’t be happier. She is so patient with my hesitant/shyer dog and went out of her way to make both of them comfortable and happy. Excited to have her walk them”

“Alana is awesome! Professional, reliable, and trustworthy. We hired her through Rover to walk our dogs while we’re at work. We felt a little uneasy about having somebody in our house while we’re not there, but after meeting her we felt comfortable with her. She provided us with two references, I called both of them and they could not stop singing her praises. She has proven herself an asset to our family. She is very responsive to our communications and requests. We are very grateful we found her.”

13. Jennifer G.
“Jen(Jennifer) was such a blessing helping me with my dog. We were having to move and had no one that could watch him for us she stepped up and kept him for us for 8 months. So we didn't have to find him a new home! When we got him back last month he had alot of improvements... he does not dart out of the door like he use to. Walking him on a leash use to be a nightmare not anymore he knows basics leash commands. Also your arm don't get pulled out of socket you can tell she's an animal person and would do anything to help you or an animal and spends the adequate time needed.”

17. Kristol Danielle M.
“Kristol is a devoted animal lover of all species. From regularly feeding squirrels right at her front door, to visiting pet stores just to play with the puppies, interacting with animals is generally the highlight of her day. She has repeatedly, and dependably walked, loved and taken care of my wife's and my dog throughout the years, as needed. When we drop off our golden retriever, we are 100% confident that she will be safe. When we pick her up, we can tell she was happy to be there and sometimes it can take some coaxing to get her to come back home with us. Her toys will be scattered all over the place, clearly indicating they were used. Every single time Kristol comes over to walk or pick up our retriever, our dog gets excited and howls, then rolls on her back by Kristol's feet. Our dog absolutely loves Kristol. One time, Kristol even took care of our fish when we went on a trip (free of charge). I can tell Kristol genuinely loves taking care of pets (Dog's especially) and I will enthusiastically recommend her as a Dog walker or overnight caretaker of your pets.”
