1. Yee-Ping C.
“Yee-Ping took our new pup Sunny for a walk last week, it was great for her to get outside mid day and expend some energy. Yee-Ping was super responsive in our correspondence and Sunny really enjoyed walking with her!”
2. Adam H.
“Adam was very thoughtful and communicative. He took care of our newly adopted dog. He is a natural with animals and went out of his way to make sure our new dog had extra long walks!”
3. Elizabeth C.
“Very easy to work with and morty loved her.”
4. Trina C.
“Trina is dependable and very sweet to our dog who isn’t the easiest to take on walks due to her reactiveness around other dogs.”
5. Marisol H.
“I began using Marisol in July 2018 to care for my 65lb senior hound dog, Holler. Although Marisol has looked after Holler several times over the last three months, I have purposely not posted a review because I selfishly do not want to share Marisol with other dog owners. Yes, she's that good. Marisol has everything that I look for in a dog sitter. First off, she is able to handle Holler who is unpredictable around other dogs. Second, she is über responsive to my booking requests, always friendly and professional, and provides detailed updates and awesome pictures on the rover cards she posts. Third, Holler loves Marisol as she always showers him lots of love and attention and often takes Holler on extra long walks whenever she looks after him. You won't be disappointed if you hire Marisol, and your dog will thank you for doing so.”
6. Victoria S.
“I am always so glad to have Vicky to take care of my cat and know she will be in reliable hands. Vicky has looked after her for several trips over the years, the longest of which was one month. She paid careful attention to my requests about feeding schedule. She was also quite in tune with how my cat was doing, and my normally grumpy cat became affectionate with her too. Vicky kept me posted with photos and let me know what my cat had been up to. I came home to a happy cat!”
7. Tatiana “Sasha” G.
“Sasha is always on time and very professional. Couldn't be more happy to have her help during the day while I'm at work to let our dogs out for potty breaks and walks.”
8. Juliana G.
“My sister Juliana took care of my cat for a while, she took care of him, fed him, played and slept with him. So I recommend my sister for the care of your pet is a kind person, confident, loving pets and very responsible.”
9. Jason R.
“Jason is a polite, responsible young person who loves dogs. He has been a dog sitter/house sitter for us many times for up to 10 days at a time. He is not only good with dogs but he is handy with tools and can handle the little household emergencies which show up when you're gone. Those are things like a leaking sink or a broken doorbell. Jason is usually in the company of his own dog, Blueberry, a small Labradoodle, who has a calming effect on other dogs when they take walks or are out an about. Jason has his own car and is a careful driver. Our dogs have always been happy when Jason comes over. I recommend Jason for dog walking or dog sitting.”
10. Monique R.
“Monique is wonderful with dogs! She has two dogs of her own and has also looked after many others. My dog first met Monique when he was home with another sitter and refused to come out from under my bed. Monique came over to help and was immediately able to coax my dog out and make him feel calm and safe. He ended up spending the rest of the weekend with her. The next time I traveled, I thought it was better for my dog to stay with Monique at her place, and he loved that. She took him for lots of walks and spoiled him with attention. He even let her give him a bath, which is very unusual for my dog. He has to really like a person to agree to a bath, so Monique definitely has a way with dogs!”
11. Vivienne T.
“Vivienne is my #1 go-to for dog sitting. She is reliable and intuitive with my dog, who is very afraid of people. She was able to get my dog to warm up to her really quickly, and is now one of her trusted humans. She has excellent attention to detail and is super helpful overall. Really grateful to have her!”
12. Julia K.
“Julia was kind, thoughtful, and attentive to our pup. Even when there was a slight hiccup, she was communicative and supportive. We will definitely be contacting Julia again!”
13. Jennifer R.
“Jenny is an incredible dog caregiver. She has a natural ability to connect with dogs, making even the most anxious ones feel comfortable and safe. Her attention to detail is amazing, ensuring every need is met, from feeding schedules to playtime and exercise. My dog always comes back happy and well cared for. I highly recommend Jenny for her professionalism, kindness, and genuine love for animals.”
14. Kavya R.
“Kavya is great, very gentle and caring, my dogs loved her. Also very precise and reliable. She gave lot of feedbacks and sent pictures.”
15. Ahmyah H.
“I highly recommend Ahmyah if you need someone to take good care of the furry babies while you are away. She did a wonderful job for me and I would continue requesting her services if possible.”
16. Rebecca K.
“Rebecca has walked my dog multiple times. She is always on time and very good with communication. I will definitely book with her again! Thank you Rebecca!!”
17. Kenny H.
“Great loving and personalized care to a beloved family member. I trust Kenny with my dogs and they trust him as well. Would recommend !!”
18. Donna B.
“Donna looked after my dog Teddy so well. He adores her . I trust Donna fully with Teddy and his reaction to Donna when he sees her tells me all I need to know . Donna is trustworthy, dependent and has such a lovely manner around my dog. She was a lifeline when I couldn’t be there .”
19. Whitney L.
About: I trained both my dogs from puppies and love all dogs deeply. I am knowledgeable on leash walking. I grew up with dogs and have had my own two for the past 5 years :) I'm currently working part-time running my company so I have free time which I love to spend with dogs! My schedule is very flexible so I can play/walk them pretty much anytime of day. I love to go on walks with dogs. I like them to be good walkers on a leash and then also offer them some downtime in the grass to just be dogs and soak up the sun (or shade).
20. Bailey C.
“Bailey is an animal lover at heart. She treats her pets like her children. I highly recommend her to take care of your pets as she is caring and responsible.”
