“Alexis does a great job for me. She’s very conscientious. Both my dogs like her from what I could see in the pictures that she sends me and she does extra things with the dogs. Doing some obedience training with my younger dog. When I first started using Rover, I just expected her to let the dogs out so they could go to the bathroom. She does more than I expected would highly recommend her.”

10. Shanie J.


“Shanie was so wonderful. I adopted an older cat with health issues last fall named Tony who requires insulin injections. I went out of town for the first time since bringing her home and was so relieved when I found Shanie because she seemed to have so much experience and I knew I could trust her to take good care of both my cats, but especially Tony. She sent me pictures and videos and super detailed updates twice a day and even went above and beyond when she stopped by to give the cats extra pets one day when she was nearby checking on a different pet. She seemed to really enjoy spending time with them. I feel so relieved to have found Shanie and to know I have a reliable person to care for my babies in the future! Thank you so much, Shanie!”


11. Shelby K.

“Shelby has been a blessing to us. After having another sitter back out in me last minute I found Shelby. She came in met the dogs and took over. We have a 6 month old, a 2 year old, and a 13 year old. They are all German Shepherds. The 13 year old is blind. Shelby has no problem handling all 3. We highly recommend her for your pets needs.”

13. Leanne B.
“Leanne is an exceptional human being with a great ability to love and care for animals of all sizes. While I was in veterinary school, internship and residency, I trusted Leanne with the care of my pets on a regular basis. She is exceptional at dealing with my mouthy heeler and is able to take her out in public places safely. She is also able to manage my 60lb lab mix with oodles of energy. Neither of them are very well trained and she is exceptional with them. She is also wonderful with my cat. Is able to find her in all her hiding spots. She is reliable and I never worry about my animals when they are in her care.”


14. Grace R.

“Grace is the best sitter! She took the time to meet my grumpy lil guy beforehand (he’s a bit difficult sometimes)! I was out of town with a family member having major surgery and didn’t have to worry about my babies! Lots of pictures and updates throughout the days I was gone. My boy dog also takes a few medications and those were given properly. We hope that Grace will babysit again in the future!”

19. Brooklyn T.
About: I’ve been dog sitting for my neighbors for many years, and I have my own dog at home. I love to play with animals and love to exercise, so I’m looking forward to walking your dog! I’m looking to help out with walking and caring for someone else’s dogs to fill the space for now, while I’m waiting to get my own dog. 😊 I love to exercise and explore, so I would be willing to walk wherever you like to take your dog to walk normally! I am a dog lover so I love to play with them.
