“Annie was so great! She was kind, responsible, and responsive. I received messages when she arrived, and she told me how everything went when she left, along with a pic of my pup. Thanks for walking Penny!”
“Brandon was a huge help!! Thank you so much!!”
“The best!!!! Jackie is a fantastic walker for my special guy. I was able to tell how much she cares just from the meet and greet. Jackie is very punctual, reliable, and flexible. You can tell she is really on top of things and her attention to detail is superb. She has provided consistent loving care for bud! Highly recommended!!!”
“She is simply Wonderful! I am so glad we’ve met and the pups liked her... she really took her time and took them on a long walk!! They came back happy, tired and ready to nap ? She was flexible in a time change which was a huge help for me... I will definitely ask her again to walk the pups! Thank you!!”
“Marc is a conscientious and dependable caregiver. He is easy to communicate with and trustworthy to allow in my home when I'm not there. When I am there, he has an engaging style and gets the job done to my great satisfaction, and obviously to Lola's as well. Her tail wags "vociferously" when he comes for her. That's the best review he can get. Dogs know!”
“Mark was great with our dog Luke! We’d just moved so Luke was extra on edge but mark won him over easily. He also was very communicative and sent lots of pictures and updates. Would definitely recommend!”
“We were skeptical about Rover, but needed help with our pets (2 dogs, 2 cats) at the last minute so we gave it a try. And lucky for us, we found Neil O!!! Neil is just fantastic with humans and animals. He's professional, kind, punctual and a great communicator. Neil is everything a pet owner needs when we look for someone to care for our furry friends. Highly recommend!! 10 stars!!”
“Andrea did a great job with my 2 dogs. They really liked her and she was very patient with them. It was easy to communicate with her and she gave us so many pics of the daily walks. Being able to have trust on the person that’s handling your fur babies is so rare so I’m glad we met Andrea.”
“Jonny was very reliable and communicative. Sky was very happy each day. I appreciate him being down to do a meet and greet before starting the walks. He asked questions proactively, was quick to respond to messages, and provided photos and updates. I would definitely re-book with Jonny!”

About: We are lifelong dog and cat lovers and owners. We can’t wait to take care of your loved one just like one of ours with endless cuddles and walks. I work part time from home and also have my husband and 16 year old son in the house. Everyone loves animals so your pet will never be alone. We also have an incredibly friendly mutt-terrier from the woods of Arkansas- Doc. He adores when other dogs come to visit. Our cat, Stitch will find his way upstairs and away from our animal visitor. We like to have our animals with us at night so yours will either sleep with us or our son. Like I said- snuggles galore! I’m currently working part-time from home so will have tons of time to play with your pup. I’m around on weekdays and weekends all day and night!! I have a fenced yard and a super friendly dog and a cat who will make himself scarce. I am happy to do whatever makes you comfortable and can administer medication. Your pet will sleep with me or my son along with our dog, Doc. We have a casual home and everyone is allowed on the couches and beds.
