“This is my second time working with Jessica, and she was wonderful. So communicative, caring, and went the extra mile to make sure that our pup's needs were taken care of, like when it was raining she took initiative to dry off our pup and make sure that she was ok when we were gone for a week!”
2. Jen N.
“If I could leave Jen 6 stars, I would. She is not only communicative and easy to work with, she’s also so kind. I don’t know about you, but that is so appreciated when you’re stressed about getting some last-minute care for your pup. She’s also great with Jax and he loves her. Highly recommend contacting Jen for fur baby needs!”
3. Molly J.
“Milo was great with Oscar, going for long walks even in bad weather and making sure our dog was happy and relaxed after she left him. Really appreciated how quickly and easy it was to have communication with this sitter, and would definitely book again”

5. Kristen M.
“We have relied on Kristen for our shih tzu's for many years. They accept her as part of their family at this point. She has aided in teaching us how to train them as puppies and they're now 10+ yrs old. Kristen has always accommodated our schedule plus has administered meds to both over the years. This included oral meds and injections for our diabetic male They both love her as do we. She is outgoing with an endearing personality. She brings us reassurance when out of town travel is necessary. We appreciate her calmness and willingness to adjust to our needs We most certainly recommend Kristen 👍🏼”
6. Steven & Claudia L.

“Amanda and Kimchi took to each other right away, and I was able to leave for the weekend feeling secure that he would have some good companionship while I was away!”
8. Vanessa P.
“Vanessa came 3 times a day for a whole week while I was gone for Thanksgiving! She checked in on my cat and walked my dog and fed her. It was super nice knowing my senior puppy can be comfortable at home even while im gone. Vanessa is really responsive and timely and goes above and beyond! (playtime with my pup, strategically hiding the house keys when needed, and letting me know of any changes or things going on with my critters promptly.) Thanks for being my go-to pet sitter! You’re awesome!!”

“Marielle is very reliable and responsive. I love the report cards she writes for him; they always have fun little tidbits about their walks. It makes me happy knowing he is in good care while I’m at work.”
11. Jessica B.
About: While growing up on a farm, I learned to care for and train a variety of dog breeds; everything from high-energy corgis to slow moving bloodhounds! This includes care for all pet ages (puppy-senior). I particularly like to bring dogs to local dog parks, and run or walk with them. I am training for a marathon so I am ready to run with high-energy dogs as needed! Additionally, as a part-time student I have a flexible schedule to fit your needs. As a part-time student, I have a flexible schedule to take care of your pets. I am typically available all day from Thursday night - Tuesday mornings. I like to bring dogs to local dog parks, and run or walk with them to ensure they get the exercise and outdoor time they need. I am willing to take dogs on longer outdoor hikes or runs for the more high-energy breeds. In my home, they will have constant access to food and water and are always supervised. My phone will always be available for phone calls, texts or facetimes!
12. Ashlyn S.
“Ashlyn cared for my dogs when I was away and she did a wonderful job! She gave such loving care and attention to my dogs that I did not have to worry about them at all while I was away. She is responsible and attentive to the dogs needs & stayed overnight in my home. She is trustworthy and would do a great job caring for your pets while you're away 💕. Allison M.”

“Catie did a wonderful job walking our 10 yr old beagle. She was communicative and provided exceptional dog walking services!”
14. Juliana R.
“Juliana is a natural with dogs. Our 10 year old Puggle took to her right away. She was so warm and affectionate towards him, and went out of her way to spend some quality time with us getting to know him during our first meet and greet. I plan to use her again and would highly recommend her to anyone who’s as selective as we are about their pet care!”

18. Jennifer L.
“I wish I would have found Jennifer sooner. She was one of the few Rover fwends that actually walked our Zara girl for a full 30 min. She took the time to see what Zara needed and gave her love. She respected our place and our wishes. Shes responsive and takes great pictures. If we weren't moving I'd keep her forever!”
