She’s not only reliable and responsible but also goes above and beyond to ensure my pet is happy and comfortable. Whether it’s taking them on walks, playing with them, or providing them with extra cuddles, Kathlyn always treats them like her own. Her kindness, compassion, and reliability make her an exceptional choice for anyone seeking a trustworthy and loving home for their furry friend.”

“Melissa would be a great choice for a pet caregiver because she loves every animal as her own. She won’t even hurt a fly. Since getting her own dog, she has developed a love and special care for her own and others. She treats every animal as if it was her own and does whatever it takes to make the pet feel comfortable, loved and safe. Every animal is always happy to see her because she takes care of them & never puts them in a position where they will feel scared or hurt.”

“A++++++++ We are so incredibly thankful to have found such an amazing dog walker and caregiver. I would give her 10 stars if I could! Cynthia is kind, loving and gentle, takes amazing photos of our dog every day on his walks, but most importantly trustworthy and safe. We knew our boy was in very good hands and that means everything. Our first experience with Rover and we are blown away. We look forward to many more opportunities to work with Cynthia again.”

10. Samantha M.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a little girl. I currently have dogs that are living in my parent’s home that I take care of frequently as well as my friends’ fur babies! :) I am currently a college student and I dedicate most of my school time on Mondays & Wednesdays meaning I am available any other day of the week! :) I have a fenced secluded yard. I also have dogs located in my parent’s home. So, if your fur baby needs company I can bring my fur babies around. If your fur baby prefers no company, there is no problem.

“Jaime was absolutely awesome with Boosh, our Pit/Lab baby girl. He was able to pick her up and down the stairs to our complex.

19. Kristal S.
About: I have been a dog lover and pet owner since I was a kid. Growing up with 2 German shepherds and an Australian shepherd mix has given me a love for dogs from a really young age. In my preteen and high school years, I ran a small pet sitting business where I took care of cats, dogs, and horses in my local town. It was something I always enjoyed doing and just love being around animals. I also have a good amount of experience working with senior dogs who may need a little extra care and love. I am very flexible with my schedule on weekdays and weekends. I do work from home full-time, which makes me available to work with what’s best for your schedule. For first time clients, I love to offer a meet and greet to make sure your pup feels comfortable around me. I will also make sure I understand everything about your pooch from dietary needs, their favorite toy, and anything else because I want to make sure they have the best experience while their pawrents are away.

“Lee was great! He went above and beyond for my dog, and I appreciated getting an update from him after their walk. Thanks so much, Lee!”
