“Michelle did so great with Zephyr! We were so worried about having to leave him alone all day for the first time. He's only 8 months old, so we really needed to break up his alone time. I was so nervous, but Michelle made everything so much better! Zephyr had the best time with her and we are definitely going to have her back!”

West Side dog parents share their Rover experiences
Michelle did a fantastic job taking care of my dog. She was prompt and professional. She sent me numerous pictures each day along with a report from each walk. I have found my dog lady and will continue to use her. I highly recommend Michelle for all your pet care needs.
Janet is amazing. First and foremost, she is reliable and on time. She is kind and compassionate and has the perfect demeanor with dogs - loving and friendly but firm and lets them know she is in charge. She walked my highly energetic dogs for an hour and they LOVED her. Thank you Janet.
Dana is great! She was extremely caring and communicated well ahead of the booking and throughout it. In the photos she sent you can tell my golden retriever Izzy was happy and loving life, even in the pouring rain, which didn’t phase Dana at all. Highly recommend!
