Brad was amazing with our dog! He was incredibly conscious and respectful about maintaining any routines and training we had already established with our dog and was great with our sometimes unruly boy! I was very impressed with how communicative he was and took very well composed and extremely cute photos to send us! I would absolutely recommend Brad!

Look no further for an amazing dog walker! From the moment I met her, it was clear that her focus was not on meeting me but getting to know my dog. Which is exactly what I want!! Can’t wait for future walks with her, and Mochi was smitten the moment she pet him.

Jessica was great! She took time out of her night to come visit Koda the night before she walked him and see how they did with each other! She was also a great walker and was willing to just hang out with him outside of his kennel and play with his toys! We will definitely be going back to Jessica again!

I wish I could give even more of a tip (rover won't let me give more than 30%), but Monica did an amazing job today. My dog had an accident in the house and she cleaned it up even though she didn't have to. Words cannot describe how awesome Monica is. 12/10 would recommend to anyone.

Kacee has been a lifelong pet owner and supporter. With 2 cats, multiple Guinea pigs, mice, hamsters, and on occasion, a turtle, she has always loved and cared for them all. She has also dog sat for family members and friends numerous times throughout the years. She is more than experienced and would be a perfect candidate for this job.

Lisa has been cat sitting for me for over 30 years. She treats my cats as though they are her own. She has a lot of great experience with cats and dogs and is comfortable playing with them and caring for them. She has been a really good cat sitter for me whenever I’m away. She sends me pics of my kitties and that helps so much. I’ve had kittens and older cats over the years and she’s done great with them all.

Nila loved going on a walk with Alexandra and was so happy afterwards! She was flexible even with our last minute request, great at communicating, and understood the differences in dog personalities and how to work with that. Definitely would recommend her!

Jessica worked as an employee of mine at a dog boarding facility. She was easily one of my most reliable and trusted employees. She loves the dogs so much, pays attention to details and noticed of anything was off like not drinking water or eating well. I would trust her to care for my pets and would highly recommend her to anyone!

Katlin watched our 2 puppies when we went on vacation. A couple times I asked for pictures because I was missing them. She sent them right away. It was pretty awesome. She sent me one of them having puppy lattes. She knew they liked car rides so she took them for one every night when she got to my house after work. She is perfect for the job and I will hire her every time I need a dog and house sitter!!!

I was very happy to find Kelly, she is a true animal lover and takes amazing care of my two dogs. one of my dogs is slightly difficult to handle but, I have no worries with Kelly. Cali wags her tail and goes with her no problem. Kelly will text over a picture and cares for each of them the way I would. I never worry about my pups when Kelly is around. Thank you so much for giving me "Peace of Mind" while I'm away.
