1. Ian H.
“Ian is terrific with my not-quite-perfect pup! Roscoe is always delighted to see him and Ian does a great job ensuring Roscoe behaves well but also has a good time on their walks. Ian is an excellent communicator and I’m very happy to have him join team roscoe!”
2. Kayla M.
“All around wonderful! Kayla is so kind, conscientious and playful. It’s is a bonus that she has a lot of experience with dogs who will chase a squirrel at a moment’s notice or take off after something unexpectedly.”
3. Elizabeth J.
“Our pup clearly likes Liz as much as we do and enjoys their walks together. We appreciate that Liz takes her alone, so we don't have to stress about multiple dog personalities and it's great to count on Liz to be another care-giver for our puppy when we need it!”
4. Amanda J.
“Amanda is a great dog walker! She helps walk my 3 month puppy during the week and is so helpful! She is a great communicator and very patient with my pup! :)”
5. Cheryl C.
“Cheryl is so good to my dogs. She really loves them and they LOVE her. She is also very accommodating with my work schedule and helps me out when I am in a bind. She is a treasure!”
6. Kaitlan P.
“Kaitlan helped us in a pinch and was great with our senior dog. We met beforehand for a meet-and-greet so I could walk her through our dog's needs and quirks. She was patient with him and communicated well before, during, and after each walk. I trust Kaitlan and she will be the first person I reach out to if I need another dog walker in the future.”
7. Katelyn H.
“Katelyn was so nice and thoughtful with Bella, specially on a really bad weather day like today giving updates and making sure she’s ok. Thanks a lot!”
8. Miranda B.
“Miranda (Andi) was great with our “kids.” Friendly and attentive to their unique differences, she and they connected immediately. Add to this the pics she sent to put our minds at ease, we highly recommend Andi.”
9. Tracie C.
“Tracie was amazing in a pinch. She was very attentive with my dogs and although we never got to meet beforehand, I could definitely tell that I could trust her with my babies. My baby is warmed up to her by the second day and seem to really enjoy her. And she's an amazing Walker and truly cares about animals of all kinds. I would definitely recommend Tracie and would actually hire her again.”
10. Shante D.
“Shante is great! Very responsive and did a great job with my corgi puppy.”
11. Rachael H.
“Rachael is very sweet, trustworthy and responsible. It was quite obvious at our first meet. My dog immediately connected with and loved her. She goes above and beyond and is obviously an animal lover. I highly recommend!!”
12. Ali P.
“Ali is the best! Super reliable, communicative, and my dog is obsessed with her. She goes above and beyond to care for Cy. I can’t recommend her highly enough!”
13. Victoria C.
“Victoria has been walking Ollie regularly over the past month and Ollie loves her! She is very responsive, and always sends sweet photos/updates. I highly recommend her!”
14. Maureen D.
“As many people can agree with, my dog is my best friend. Since the pandemic I have been extra anxious about leaving my dog in the care of someone besides myself. With my recent job change this became a harsh reality. I heard about Maureen's quality of care through a friend of mine. My dog Reba will let me know if something's up (ie chewing my pants :)) and I am pleased to say my pants are intact! Maureen has been lovely to have watch my best friend, Reba. Reba looks forward to their arrival and seems less anxious when I leave. I cannot thank Maureen enough for helping me with this anxiety provoking transition. Thank you Maureen!!!”
15. Brie M.
“Brie did an exceptional job caring for our cats, Buttons and Elwood, while we were on vacation. Brie followed all of our instructions meticulously, ensuring that our cats' routines and diets were maintained. She provided them with plenty of love and attention, sending us regular updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind during our trip. Brie's professionalism and genuine love for animals make her the perfect choice for pet care. We couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter, and we highly recommend her to anyone in need of reliable and caring pet care services.”
16. Bryan L.
“Walter came back smiling and tired from his hour walk with Bryan. Bryan arrived on time and was very pleasant. I gladly recommend him.”
17. Diana S.
“While we were getting on a plane for a vacation out of the country, our dog contracted the dreaded dog flu while at a boarding facility. Diana was able to help us out in a huge way, including taking our dog to the vet and conferencing us in so we could discuss the diagnosis and treatment! She also spent considerable time while we were away caring for and feeding our sick pup. We could not have enjoyed our vacation without her help and our dog would have had a really tough time recovering had Diana not been around to care for her.”
18. Sonia R.
“Hi I would like to say that Sonia is a hard working person, very trustworthy and always tries to do more than she has to. She has been working at a cat shelter, she also does pet sitting for cats/dogs when needed for some friends. Sonia is an animal lover, best said. sincerely, carmen”
19. Rafaella L.
“This pet sitter couldn’t have been more accommodating. What a relief to have a reliable pet sitter after finding out at the last minute that your weekend plans ban gods. Very great full.”
20. Anna B.
“Anna is a fantastic cat sitter who consistently goes above and beyond in caring for my cat Asya whenever I'm away. With Anna, I have complete peace of mind knowing that Asya is not only receiving the essential care she needs but also plenty of love and attention. Anna's reliability and genuine affection for animals make her my go-to choice for pet sitting every time I leave town. I highly recommend Anna to anyone in need of a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”
