5. Lila D.
“Being a new rover user, I am extremely pleased. Lila was prompt, professional, friendly and attentive. She responded right away every time and let me know everything that was happening with my babies when I was away and sent multiple photos which I loved. She is definitely someone to keep in mind when I need someone to give my babies some attention and care. I also sent her info to another rover user (friend of mine) as a back up provider since she is someone to rely on. Thank you so much Lila.”

About: As a long time dog lover I’m looking for furry friends to keep me company during my cardio sessions around the fan/museum district. My fiancé and I are waiting until after our wedding to get a dog ourselves. I would love to take your dog on walks or runs whichever you prefer. I hope that your dog enjoys the time we spend together just as much as I will. Can’t wait to meet you and your dog. I work from home and am available to walk/run with your furry friends on my lunch break or after work. I’m very active and would enjoy company on my walks/runs. I treat all dogs like my own. I will love and care for them as if they were mine. Their safety and comfort always come first.

“She’s super nice and attentive to the client's needs, we needed urgent help and she was at our disposal. My little cat is very scary and even more when he stays at home without us. She helped us with his food and his needs so he always had everything! Thank you Amy! 100% recommended😊”
