“Jade is an excellent and very caring animal lover who goes above and beyond to make sure our mini poodle, Ruthie is taken care of. She is trustworthy, reliable and kind. We highly recommend her!”
“My pup is still getting used to unfamiliar people walking him outside. Rachel’s shown a lot of patience as they get to know each other more and he’s warming up little by little. I’m so glad I found her to help out.”
“My dog Rosie, is a big, very strong and high energy Great Dane. Steve does a great job walking her, allowing her to explore and have fun while keeping her under safe control as well. Rosie loves her walks with Steve and even gets excited when she sees his car coming down our street ! Rosie and I will definitely be calling Steve again!”
“Bailee has been a true pleasure to work with! She is always on time, has great communication skills, extremely accommodating and great with my dog. I worry my dog may like her more than me now! Can’t wait to use her again in the future.”
“I am so grateful for the amazing care Caroline gave my dog! This was their first time meeting, and my dog absolutely loved her. Despite the tricky weather, she was incredibly patient, waiting for the rain to pass so she could still give my dog a proper walk. I truly appreciate how kind, sweet, and thoughtful she was throughout. I couldn’t be happier with my first experience on Rover .. we’ll definitely be booking with her again. Thank you so much!”
“Andria has been so great with our puppy Sammie, which is not always easy because he’s still learning the ropes. He is always fully taken care of with her and we are so grateful to have found her! Thank you Andria!!!”
About: My entire life, I've been around animals of all sorts. From Small, loud, and feisty chihuahuas to big, stoic, and strong Pitbulls. I've owned cats, dogs, birds, and rabbits before and each one has only made my love and care of all animals grow each day. I'm available full time, 24/7 for whatever your pet needs may be. Any request you have, I can get it done and give your pet the love and care they deserve. I can give your pet as much (or as little) attention as they want and need. Walks, play, cuddles, or personal space. I'm also immune to the eyes by this point.
“Excellent service provided by Jullien. Prompt communication, confirmed each day before walk and was happy to accommodate last minute change in time. Dogs came back happy with tails wagging! Will definitely use Jullien again.”
About: I can share that passion with other dogs and dog owners that need a further assistance with the furry family members. Taking care of various dogs makes it easier to learn their needs and wants and if they are well trained it will be easier to take care of them, In the other hand I have patience and a commanding voice that helps them understand I am in control. Snacks are also available which help me develop trust and a bond in order to contribute to a healthy relationship. I currently work full time but I am at home Monday, Friday, Weeknights after work and Weekends at any time to make sure their needs are taken care of. While taking care of your dogs I prioritize their safety by thoroughly assessing their environment, building trust with both the dog and the owner and providing excellent care
About: I love pet especially dogs I actually want a teacup chihuahua but money is kind of tight for me right now so why not get to love and take care of others pets while I work on getting my own and maybe have play dates for my future pets too I would love to love your pets thank you in advance for giving me a chance to do so
About: Dogs have always been an important part of my life. I currently have two dogs I walk and board as well as a dog at home. I’m committed to keeping the dogs in my care safe, and making sure they are having a great time. Currently I have a pretty open schedule and could work with you on the details. Available 7 days a week, days and nights. Long term or short term. I walk the dogs two or three times a day. Often walk the woods in the reservation and use the dog park. My yard is fenced in and private. Have dog at home (Messi) who loves dogs and company. If you’re more comfortable having your pet caged, we can make arrangements for that or whatever makes you comfortable.
“Naeemah is very reliable, presentable, patient, friendly and considerate. My dog and I loved her! I will rebook her as needed and would highly recommend her if you’re in need of service.”

About: I've been caring for animals for years, starting with my own dog, who taught me so much about responsibility, patience, and the joy pets bring to our lives. From daily walks to vet visits, I’ve handled it all with love and consistency. I’ve also been the go-to pet sitter for family and friends, looking after dogs and cats of all ages and temperaments. Whether it's keeping up with energetic pups or giving extra care to senior pets, I make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and right at home. I work from home, which means I can give your dog or cat plenty of attention throughout the day. Whether it’s regular walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I’m available to meet their needs without rushing. My flexible schedule allows me to stick closely to your pet’s routine and make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and never lonely. I care for pets in their own home where they feel most safe and comfortable. I make sure to follow their usual routines—whether that’s feeding times, walks, play, or quiet time—so they feel relaxed and secure while you're away. I’m always respectful of your space, keeping things clean, organized, and just as you left them. Safety is a top priority, and I take care to keep doors locked, gates secure, and pets supervised at all times. Your pet’s well-being and your peace of mind mean everything to me.

When ever we hangout and he sees a dog, he goes crazy to pet them. I can definitely put my word and recommend him as a dog sitter, i'm sure he will do an amazing job, the dogs are going to be extremely happy when he takes care of them. Can't wait to hear back from Mateo, letting me know he became a dog sitter.”

Mike K.
“Mike is a breath of fresh air. He delivers on everything he promises - and more. Most importantly, Fred, my Labradoodle, is always happier after one of Mike's visits. When I had to go abroad for three weeks, I didn't hesitate to leave Fred in Mike's good hands. In short, Mike treats Fred as if he were part of his own family.”
