“Christopher is absolutely wonderful! My Lucy is a discerning pup and she loves him so much. She is always so calm and content after I get home from work the days he walks her. And I get a wonderful paragraph about their adventures.”
“Kate is super sweet. She sent us pictures of our dog, took her on some longer walks, and hung out/spent time giving her some pets and attention in our home. As this was our first time using Rover, Kate also came over to meet the dog before we left for our trip. We would absolutely recommend Kate to anyone looking for a dog walker/sitter for their pet and will definitely ask for Kate again when we need a sitter for our dog!”

About: I am retired, so I have plenty of time and availability to visit, house sit, play, and walk dogs around their neighborhoods or dog parks. I have no problem cleaning/refreshing litter boxes. I care for our two cats, and even though they're both semi-feral, they still need a lot of TLC and attention. Daily food prep, litter box maintenance, and play time. I take care to follow clients' wishes for their loved pets in their homes, including feeding, cleaning, playing, and ensuring the cats and/or dogs are loved and cared for.
“Elizabeth was lovely with my pups. I have one stubborn and one typically shy around new people. She won them over quickly and she has two new fur friends now! Will definitely hire her again.”
