“Fatima took care of our 75lb high energy Pitbull like it was her very own dog. We left for a vacation for 16 days and Fatima took over as both Mom and Pack Leader. She walked, fed, gave medication, cleaned ears, bathed, played with, etc. We got photos and vids daily, which gave us peace of mind that Leo was in great care. Highly Recommend!”
“She had been amazing to my dog and met up several times. My dog adore her. She’s great taking care of my dog while I went on vacation. She really gives me peace of mind. Highly recommended. She sent me videos and pictures. Definitely will be it interesting booking with her again”
“Adam did a great job boarding and caring for our 80lb higher energy labrador. Very communicative and sent pictures. We also requested Adam apply an allergy meds which he was great at. Would definitely recommend. Thank you Adam!”
“MariJeimi and David did an amazing job watching our Peanut and Hershey - you can tell they truly love and care for animals. They gave us great peace of mind while away with frequent updates/photos on how they were doing. They truly went the extra mile to make sure our pups felt welcome. Both our babies looked like they felt right at home with them and were treated fantastic! It's tough finding the right people to trust with your fur babies but if you've been lucky enough to land on this profile you have to look no further. We definitely will be using them again in the future and are so thankful we found them to care for our pups.”
“Amber, provided exceptional service and demonstrated remarkable patience and understanding regarding my dog's needs during our recent interaction. Her accommodating nature was greatly appreciated.”
“We had a very last minute need for someone to watch our 15 1/2 year old bichon while we went on our summer vacation. Fortunately, Glenn was available and took such good care of our Jack. He sent pictures and updates during the week to let us know how he was doing. I would highly recommend Glenn to anyone!”
“Laura watched our treeing walker coonhound while we went to Myrtle Beach for a long weekend. She sent regular pictures so we knew Copper was doing well and having fun! She was also very accommodating about drop off and pickup times, which was truly appreciated. Also, Copper is still young and can be quite a handful and she was patient and loving with him. I HIGHLY recommend Laura! Thank you!”
“Jennifer was absolutely fantastic with our anxious, energetic girl. She updated us daily and sent some many pictures during her stay with her. Jennifer is so responsive and sweet and I could tell our girl loved her and her family.”
“Jax goes to Karen and Donald’s every month for a few days whether we are out of town or not! It’s his own vacation to get socialization and pampering from K&D. They are the best if you want you fur baby to be treated better than you treat them!!!”
“Our dog Ginger stayed with Sarah for the weekend when we had a family wedding that brought us to the area. Sarah was super quick to respond to all communication which was really nice and made me comfortable. She sent updates, photos and was flexible with timing adjustments. More significantly, Ginger went right up to Sarah and felt relaxed and comfortable —she walked inside without pining for me. Even when I arrived to pick up Ginger, she must have enjoyed her stay as she didn’t rush right back to me.”
“Adriana did a great job taking care of our two dogs for two weeks. She sent pictures multiple times per day, took the dogs for walks, and was very quick to respond to messages on Rover. Over Easter, she even set up a holiday-themed photo shoot with the dogs. We were very impressed. Her home is very clean and well taken care of. It’s set up like a professional doggy daycare, with multiple gated areas, a fully fenced backyard, an astro-turfed outdoor area, and multiple levels of locked gates outside for security. It’s the perfect setup.”
“Lisa was great and took care of my pup! I had never left her for so long and it was comforting knowing she was in good hands. She sent updated throughout and I know she was well taken care of.”

“Gwynne is an amazing pet sitter! She doesn’t just rush in and treat your pet like a task, she spends time with them and gives them real love and care while you’re away and unable to. Even one of our more skittish cats comes out when she’s there, so that says a lot to me about how awesome she is. The photos she sends are also high quality and well-framed, so you get a lovely look at your happy pet!”
“I would rehire Adam for any Pet related service I need in the future. He took good care of my two cats, one with special needs. He followed directions and did what was asked of him and kept me updated. Couldn’t ask for anymore. thanks Adam. I’ll keep you in mind for the future.”
“Thank you so much Jessica for taking such amazing care of my babies. Your messages were so funny and well written. My trip was very peaceful and relaxing and all the more so because I had someone so caring it made me feel such peace of mind knowing someone like you was looking after my fur babies! I looked forward everyday to reading your daily updates in the notes on rover. I'm glad my cat Gizmo got the chance to boss somebody else around for a change lol.”
“Ashley was so great with our cat, Dizzy. Dizzy was clearly well taken care of, and was excited when Ashley came to visit her. I really appreciated all of the pictures she sent, showing us what Dizzy was up to. I felt at ease in our travels knowing that Dizzy had such good company. We will definitely be booking Ashley again!”
“First time using Rovr. Anna was amazing!!! She was available last minute after my caretaker cancelled and guided me through the process. She wrote me an update and sent lots of pictures. My usually shy Solame typically hides when she meets new people, but she greeted Anna at the door and even ate treats out of her hand before she left. Highly recommend!”
“Kim communicated, was helpful, and extraordinarily caring! I know my boys were well taken care of and we are happy to have her sit anytime! She sent us pictures and even bought in our mail! Thank you Kim!!”
“Jennifer was wonderful with my cats. It was so nice to see pictures every day. I could enjoy my vacation knowing they were well taken care of. Definitely will see Jennifer again.”

“Robyn was great! Spent time with my 2 cats and sent at least 5 pictures on each visit for me. When I returned home, they were both looking healthy and happy. Also still having plenty of food in their bowls.”
“Finding Amanda to look after our cats while we were away was such a relief! She took amazing care of all five of them, including our diabetic boy who requires insulin twice a day, and she even made sure our strays were taken care of as well. Her love for animals is so clear and she was an absolute breeze to communicate with. You won’t find anyone better to trust your babies with!”

“Rielly was friendly and did a wonderful job updating me on how my fur baby was doing! Taking care of a 4 month old puppy is no easy task and she did amazing! She even bathed him and gave him a cute little bow tie! I will definitely use her services again!”
About: I’ve taken care of a variety of dogs and cats over the past few years. I’m very good at following care instructions. I’ve taken care of dogs of all shapes and sizes. I have cerebral palsy so Im home the majority of the time giving me the opportunity to genuinely care for your pet. This schedule allows me to be attentive to all your pets needs.

About: Hi, I’m MJ, and dogs have been a part of my life since I was a little girl. I've cared for a variety of breeds and even some exotic animals, including a wild rabbit and an armadillo. I have a wealth of pet-sitting experience, and while living in the Lehigh Valley, I built a large clientele, earning 5-star reviews for the love and attention I gave to every pet in my care. My heart shattered when I lost Bella, my beloved 13-year-old Miniature Schnauzer, on 9/28/2024. Bella taught me more than I could ever imagine about caring for senior dogs. Through holistic methods and homemade nutrition, I extended her life and kept her healthy for 13 beautiful years. Bella needed special care, including gentle exercise, frequent bathroom breaks, a comfortable resting environment, and close monitoring of her health and behavior. I administered medications when necessary and worked hand-in-hand with her vet to ensure she had the best life possible. What sets me apart is the personal experience I gained from caring for Bella. I know how to tailor care for senior dogs, understanding the importance of mobility support, dietary restrictions, and health conditions. I always stay in close communication with pet owners to ensure I am meeting all of your dog’s specific needs. I pride myself on creating a safe, hazard-free, and chemical-free environment (aside from essential cleaning products in the bathroom and kitchen). Your dog will never come near harmful chemicals in my clean, cozy apartment, where they’re free to snuggle on the couch or bed. Also, I have plenty of experience feeding according to strict dietary instructions and administering oral medication as needed. Since Bella crossed the rainbow, my heart has been heavy, but the presence of other pets has helped me heal the sadness. I would love the opportunity to share my affection with your furry family member and care for them as if they were my own. Whether your dog is a playful puppy or a senior needing extra attention, I'll give them the same love and devotion I gave to Bella, with the hope that one day, I'll meet her again. We wanted to share a small update about our schedule. Recently, David’s work situation has changed, and he is no longer home full-time. While I still work outside the home and we continue to coordinate our part-time jobs on different days, there may now be occasional times when neither of us is home for short periods. That said, we’re always happy to talk through any questions you may have, and we’re committed to working with you to find a solution if needed. Pet care remains an important part of our daily routine, and your dog’s comfort, safety, and happiness continue to be our top priority. We truly appreciate your trust and are excited to keep welcoming your pets as part of our family. In our home, we provide a cozy, safe, and loving environment for your dog. While we don’t have a yard, we live in a quiet apartment complex with plenty of green areas for walks and outdoor play. We enjoy strolling around the peaceful neighborhood, ensuring your dog gets the exercise and fresh air they need. Rest assured, we always keep dogs on a leash to maintain their safety, and we carefully monitor their surroundings to avoid any potential hazards. Inside our home, your pet will have access to all the comforts they deserve—whether it’s relaxing on the couch or snuggling up on the bed. We take extra care to create a stress-free, hazard-free space where your dog can feel at ease. Our goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and happy.

“Adam provided an outstanding care to my dog. He also feeded him and followed all instructions. I had an emergency and as a last minute request he immediately responded. Adam was very friendly with my dog after checking camaras inside and outside my home.”
About: Hi there! I can walk far distances and I get along with dogs well! I live next to a walking trail so it is perfect for a nice walk, dogs love it! I also live next to some parks so I can play with your dog to blow off some steam so they are less destructive later! I clean up after any messes and will keep your dog hydrated and happy. I can handle breeds both big and small with ease. Not willing to handle aggressive dogs, sorry! Leash trained dogs are preferred. I hope to be able to walk your dog soon! Avaliable rain, shine, and even snow! Please let me know of any triggers or potential allergies before hand, thank you very much!
About: I believe pets are part of the family and should be treated that way. I have had many pets and love their companionship and have also included them in my daily routine I’m currently unemployed after 34 years with the same employer, I am dependable and experienced as evidenced by the amount of dedicated service to my former employer. I am responsible and really enjoy the outdoors and including my dog in daily activities outside We walk our German Shepherd daily and play with her in the yard. I have 2 cats as well that love to cuddle . We spoil them!
About: I was raised around all kinds of animals, and have cared for cats, dogs, snakes, and rabbits. I love them all unconditionally and believe they should be raised to know full bellies, warm cozy nights, and endless love. I have experience working as a groomers assistant and a kennel attendant professionally for about 3 years as well, so I know how to handle special needs ranging from anxiety to aggression. I also understand what it's like to be tight on funds, and the need to budget tightly in order to properly care for your furry friends! If my Rover prices are too high for your budget, shoot me a message and I can help you stay in your range! I'm flexible, especially since all pets are different and require different amounts of work! I'm currently transitioning into working a typical full time job, so my once very wide open schedule has slimmed down a lot. I can best typically do check ins and walks in the early morning and in the evening. I'm assuming that I'll be doing a typical 9 to 5, so anything before 9am or after 5pm is within reach for me to make sure your pets are well cared for and loved while you're away. ❤️ You can reach out to me with any schedule questions and I can try to work something out with you! I always do my very best to be as gentle as possible with all pets! I tend to avoid using "alpha" proving tactics unless it is necessary for my or your pets safety (ex. scruffing, using chokers tightly, using the shock option over the buzz option on an electric collar). I see these options as only being necessary when the pet is acceptionally aggressive and may hurt myself, itself, or others. I'm also very cautious around doors as I know many pets would take the opportunity to bolt it into the street if they could. I can handle bruises and scratches well from excited pets! I'm usually always covered in them from my own fur babies.
About: I am an ANIMAL LOVER! My name is May Fredericks, I’m 22 and a student at King’s College preparing to begin grad school soon. I major in environmental science and chemistry, and I hope to become a scientific diver working with marine life or in wildlife rehabilitation.

I always do my absolute best to give pets the same love, patience, and attention they give us. I am a full time student, but I’m flexible and am willing to work around my class schedule. I can adjust my availability as needed. my ultimate goal is to make sure both pets and their owners feel comfortable, confident, and well cared for throughout the service. I follow the pet’s regular routines and any instructions provided by the owner including feeding, providing fresh water, exercise, playtime, administering medications if needed, cleaning up after pets, and ensuring they are safe and happy.

“Kim was amazing with Milkshake! Not only did she respond quickly, but she fit us into her busy schedule last minute. Kim was kind and took such good care of my pup. She made sure that she got all of her energy out and was so easy to work with. 10 out of 10 will definitely book her again. Book her. You won’t be disappointed.”
“Lisa was absolutely wonderful with Scout! She arrived right on time and Scout took awhile to warm up and Lisa was patient and worked with him wonderfully! I am grateful that she is so knowledgeable with dogs and didn’t give up on Scout. I will definitely be using her again.”
About: I have health care experience from my daily career and I've been taking care of all kinds of pets since I was a little girl. This includes several kitten rescues and rehoming. My little girl abby was a recue. Feeding, grooming, litter care needs, emotional support, love, time, and attention all go towards my cat at home on a daily basis. It's a labor of love. I would approach each clients needs with focus on respect, reliability, attention to details, and loving care towards each clients pet. I understand each clients needs will be individual.

About: I have taken care of neighbors & family members pets for the past 5 years, and have two of my own puppies. Love all animals! I currently work part time (usually 8:30-4:00) three days per week. My days change every week but I am home every weekend & every evening. My backyard is fenced in and I have multiple crates. Comfortable walking, crating, feeding, and pottying dogs. Can follow any regimen your dog is used to!
About: Hi, I'm Robyn, a lifelong animal lover with over 10 years of trusted experience caring for dogs & cats of all breeds, ages, and personalities. I've grown up with a variety of animals my entire life (cats, dogs, guinea pigs, turtles, mice). For the past decade, I've been the go to pet sitter and dog walker for family and friends. Whether it’s high energy pups or senior cats who just want some company, I treat every pet like my own with patience, love, and attention to their unique needs. Before I was old enough to work, I spent time volunteering at a local animal shelter during my teen years. It gave me early hands on experience caring for animals with all kinds of personalities and needs, and helped shape my lifelong love and respect for animals. Right now, I share my home with a 5 year old beagle named Scout who I’ve raised since he was a puppy. Whether you're looking for reliable walks, drop ins, or overnight care, you can count on me to keep your pet safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I send regular updates and photos, and I always follow your care instructions to the letter. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! As a stay at home mom, I'm home and active throughout the day, which allows me to easily fit pet care into my regular routine. I'm available for walks and visits from 9am-2pm during the week, and I have full day availability on Sunday. I'm used to planning my days around care and routines, so incorporating pet care feels like a natural fit. Whether it's a morning walk to start the day, a dinner time drop in, or extended weekend care, I make sure every pet gets the time, attention, and consistency they deserve. When caring for pets in their own home, I always follow the pet parent's instructions closely to ensure consistency and comfort for their pet. I'm very detail oriented and make sure routines, feeding, medications, and preferences are followed exactly as requested. I also let the pet guide the pace of our interactions whether that means playtime, cuddles, or simply being a calm, reassuring presence. My goal is to make them feel safe, respected, and as relaxed as possible while you're away
About: Hi, I’m MJ, and dogs have been a part of my life since I was a little girl. I've cared for a variety of breeds and even some exotic animals, including a wild rabbit and an armadillo. I have a wealth of pet-sitting experience, and while living in the Lehigh Valley, I built a large clientele, earning 5-star reviews for the love and attention I gave to every pet in my care. My heart shattered when I lost Bella, my beloved 13-year-old Miniature Schnauzer, on 9/28/2024. Bella taught me more than I could ever imagine about caring for senior dogs. Through holistic methods and homemade nutrition, I extended her life and kept her healthy for 13 beautiful years. Bella needed special care, including gentle exercise, frequent bathroom breaks, a comfortable resting environment, and close monitoring of her health and behavior. I administered medications when necessary and worked hand-in-hand with her vet to ensure she had the best life possible. What sets me apart is the personal experience I gained from caring for Bella. I know how to tailor care for senior dogs, understanding the importance of mobility support, dietary restrictions, and health conditions. I always stay in close communication with pet owners to ensure I am meeting all of your dog’s specific needs. I pride myself on creating a safe, hazard-free, and chemical-free environment (aside from essential cleaning products in the bathroom and kitchen). Your dog will never come near harmful chemicals in my clean, cozy apartment, where they’re free to snuggle on the couch or bed. Also, I have plenty of experience feeding according to strict dietary instructions and administering oral medication as needed. Since Bella crossed the rainbow, my heart has been heavy, but the presence of other pets has helped me heal the sadness. I would love the opportunity to share my affection with your furry family member and care for them as if they were my own. Whether your dog is a playful puppy or a senior needing extra attention, I'll give them the same love and devotion I gave to Bella, with the hope that one day, I'll meet her again. We wanted to share a small update about our schedule. Recently, David’s work situation has changed, and he is no longer home full-time. While I still work outside the home and we continue to coordinate our part-time jobs on different days, there may now be occasional times when neither of us is home for short periods. That said, we’re always happy to talk through any questions you may have, and we’re committed to working with you to find a solution if needed. Pet care remains an important part of our daily routine, and your dog’s comfort, safety, and happiness continue to be our top priority. We truly appreciate your trust and are excited to keep welcoming your pets as part of our family. In our home, we provide a cozy, safe, and loving environment for your dog. While we don’t have a yard, we live in a quiet apartment complex with plenty of green areas for walks and outdoor play. We enjoy strolling around the peaceful neighborhood, ensuring your dog gets the exercise and fresh air they need. Rest assured, we always keep dogs on a leash to maintain their safety, and we carefully monitor their surroundings to avoid any potential hazards. Inside our home, your pet will have access to all the comforts they deserve—whether it’s relaxing on the couch or snuggling up on the bed. We take extra care to create a stress-free, hazard-free space where your dog can feel at ease. Our goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and happy.

“Fatima took care of our 75lb high energy Pitbull like it was her very own dog. We left for a vacation for 16 days and Fatima took over as both Mom and Pack Leader. She walked, fed, gave medication, cleaned ears, bathed, played with, etc. We got photos and vids daily, which gave us peace of mind that Leo was in great care. Highly Recommend!”
“She had been amazing to my dog and met up several times. My dog adore her. She’s great taking care of my dog while I went on vacation. She really gives me peace of mind. Highly recommended. She sent me videos and pictures. Definitely will be it interesting booking with her again”
“Adam did a great job boarding and caring for our 80lb higher energy labrador. Very communicative and sent pictures. We also requested Adam apply an allergy meds which he was great at. Would definitely recommend. Thank you Adam!”
“Laura watched our treeing walker coonhound while we went to Myrtle Beach for a long weekend. She sent regular pictures so we knew Copper was doing well and having fun! She was also very accommodating about drop off and pickup times, which was truly appreciated. Also, Copper is still young and can be quite a handful and she was patient and loving with him. I HIGHLY recommend Laura! Thank you!”
“Jennifer was absolutely fantastic with our anxious, energetic girl. She updated us daily and sent some many pictures during her stay with her. Jennifer is so responsive and sweet and I could tell our girl loved her and her family.”
“Our dog Ginger stayed with Sarah for the weekend when we had a family wedding that brought us to the area. Sarah was super quick to respond to all communication which was really nice and made me comfortable. She sent updates, photos and was flexible with timing adjustments. More significantly, Ginger went right up to Sarah and felt relaxed and comfortable —she walked inside without pining for me. Even when I arrived to pick up Ginger, she must have enjoyed her stay as she didn’t rush right back to me.”
“Adriana did a great job taking care of our two dogs for two weeks. She sent pictures multiple times per day, took the dogs for walks, and was very quick to respond to messages on Rover. Over Easter, she even set up a holiday-themed photo shoot with the dogs. We were very impressed. Her home is very clean and well taken care of. It’s set up like a professional doggy daycare, with multiple gated areas, a fully fenced backyard, an astro-turfed outdoor area, and multiple levels of locked gates outside for security. It’s the perfect setup.”
“Lisa was great and took care of my pup! I had never left her for so long and it was comforting knowing she was in good hands. She sent updated throughout and I know she was well taken care of.”
“Natalie is truly amazing. Going above and beyond is an understatement. My little guy might not be here if it wasn’t for her. She got him care quickly when he needed it and provided updates/photos to keep me in the loop. Cannot recommend her enough.”
About: Hello all, I've owned cats, dogs, and horses for over 20 years now and was their main caregiver starting at 8 y.o. I've worked at many horse barns and pet sitter for many many friends over the years. I have skills in pet healthcare (administering medication, baths, cutting nails, etc), young animals, dog & horse training, rescue animals, and elderly animals. I do my best to provide stress free care for your pets. I am currently working from home full-time! So there is always someone around to take care of your pet! My husband and I mostly like to relax and unwind at home with the occasional dinner date or movie, but are flexible and will be upfront with owners if their pet’s needs cannot be met! When pets are in my home, I always take note of the their state of wellness, looking for stress or anything out of the ordinary. I also will inspect the environment to ensure dangerous items (small items/chocolate/other) are out of reach. While we do not have a fenced in backyard we do have a lunge line that will allow your pet to enjoy running around in the backyard but provides a limit so pets do not go near the back alley road! I make sure pets have access to water at all times. I am able to administer medications easily whether it is as simple as pill pockets or even injections. We also have two dogs of our own as well as a cat! Geordi is a 10 year old Australian Cattle dog who is energetic but respects other pets space, Thor is a 1 year old Pembroke Welsh Corgi who loves other playmates, and Wynnona is that our 4 year old cat who tends to mind her own business!
“Charlie had so much with Jack and Joanne that he came home and crashed for four hours straight. He was so happy when we arrived, he snuck up behind Jack, tapped him with his front paws, and licked him. He doesn't even do that to me. Thanks so much!”
About: Hi! I’m Julie. I grew up on a hobby farm surrounded by a menagerie of animals from a young age. Everything from chickens and goats to rabbits, cats, and dogs, and the occasional bit of wildlife, were welcome in my families home. As a high school student I became increasingly involved in agriculture and milked cows and cared for livestock. This turned into a love that led me to college in rural Maine where I earned a degree in Agriculture and Sustainability, all while working on a dairy farm each day. Currently, I homeschool my two children and am blessed with the ability to work from home. We live on a wooded property and have access to a small lake which is boarded by a wooded dirt road. Additionally, we have a small walking trail system directly on our property. We share our home with a Newfie doodle, Arlo, who is 1.5 years old, a Sulcuta tortoise, and a cat that lives under the bed. We have a large red deck with a fenced in space off of this for easy bathroom access and unleashed roaming space for your dog. I work from home and homeschool my children. Our days have built in flexibility and can be arranged to accommodate the needs of any pet staying with us. We enjoy time outdoors, and can often be found working remotely or “out schooling” from our backyard or a hiking trail. In our home, the pets are people too (and we will narrate their thoughts based on their expressions 🤪). Pets are allowed on the furniture and in all rooms. We have a large front porch for slow mornings and evenings that stretch well past sunset. We also have a large deck in the rear which has a fenced area off of it to allow plenty of space for unattended bathroom breaks or unleashed space to roam. My children are well versed in animal care and also understand giving space to a new animal, calm energy, etc. I will always setup a meet and greet prior to booking to ensure everyone feels comfortable and welcome. Medications can be distributed, and special diets can be managed.
“Casey is such an amazing host! We just relocated to the area and feel so lucky to have found Casey! From the initial conversations online to a phone call she made us comfortable to leave our furry friends with her. Our dogs were well taken care of and happy when we picked them up. We will definitely be working with Casey again and I know our boys will be excited to spend time with her again! ”
“Bryan was awesome to work with. Not only was he extremely communicative, sending regular updates and pictures, he was comfortable with and knowledgeable about taking care of our young puppy. We knew that she was well loved and taken care of during her stay. We'll definitely be working with Bryan in the future!”
“Carissa was a great sitter for Lennox - he seems to have enjoyed her care and the company of her pet, Judge. He came back happy! During his stay with her, Carissa kept in touch with me with appropriate updates, including photos and a few short videos. She was flexible on drop off and pick up times, which was great because my return home was delayed a little bit with traffic. I’d recommend her for sure and already booked Lennox for another stay with her in a few weeks!”
“If I could give more than five stars, I would—honestly, this was one of the most above-and-beyond experiences we’ve ever had with any service, not just dog sitting. From the very beginning, she was kind, communicative, and incredibly professional—but what truly blew us away was everything that happened *after* we booked her for what was supposed to be just a single day. Due to unexpected circumstances on our end, that one day turned into three… and she handled it with nothing but grace, flexibility, and genuine care. Not once did she make us feel like it was an inconvenience. In fact, she reassured us the entire time and treated our dog like her own. She kept us updated regularly with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. You could tell our dog was not only well cared for, but truly happy and comfortable. It’s rare to find someone who connects so naturally with animals, but she absolutely does. And then—when we thought we couldn’t possibly be more impressed—she somehow raised the bar even higher. She went out of her way to return our dog to us, taking not one but TWO Ubers to make sure everything worked out smoothly. Who does that?! That level of dedication, effort, and positivity is almost unheard of. The entire time, she maintained the most amazing attitude—warm, patient, and completely unbothered—when most people would understandably be stressed or frustrated. It’s hard to put into words just how grateful we are. She didn’t just “watch our dog”—she showed kindness, flexibility, and a level of commitment that genuinely meant a lot to us during a stressful situation. If you are even *considering* booking with her, do it immediately. She is reliable, compassionate, communicative, and truly goes the extra mile (literally and figuratively). We would trust her again in a heartbeat and will absolutely be booking with her in the future. Thank you again for everything—you are truly one of a kind!”
