Kaylah has been really attentive with Mylo and does what I ask of her to do in terms of taking care of our pup Mylo. She gives me updates after every visit, which I appreciate so much! Thanks so much for all your help this summer Kaylah! :)

We so appreciated having Sierra available to walk and feed our dog after last minute plans to leave town. Sierra was responsive, on time, and provided updates after each visit. We have already booked Sierra for our next trip out of town.

About: Dogs have always been part of my life, I truly can’t imagine a home without one! I’m the proud owner of a four-year-old poodle mix and have spent years training, walking, and learning everything I can from our amazing certified trainer to give her the best life possible. I’ve put so much care, time, and energy into understanding dog behavior, and it’s made me even more passionate about helping other pet parents feel at ease when they’re away. I’m self-employed, which means I have great flexibility in my schedule and can easily accommodate drop-in visits or walks throughout the day. Whether your dog needs a long walk to burn off energy, a quick potty break, or just some company and affection while you’re out, I’ll treat them like my own. Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take time to get to know each pet’s personality, energy level, and preferences so they feel at ease in my care. I’ll follow any instructions you share (feeding, water, meds, etc.) and always send updates and photos so you know how your pup is doing while you’re away.

About: Hi, my name is Rachel. I have been around all types of animals basically my entire life, dogs being my favorite of course. I've been around small dogs, average sized dogs and larger dogs. Because I'm a highly energetic person and love to run and play, I will be able to provide a great and fun environment to your pup. Since I've moved from home ( New York ) I am no longer around my family pets, whom I miss very much, Rover gives me an opportunity to make friends with your pup's, so for that I'm extremely greatful and excited to get started. I am eager to meet yourself and your fur child, and I'm even more excited to become their very good friend! ?

Jessie was phenomenal watching Keena! I highly recommend booking Jessie to care for your pets. The level of genuine, positive care Keena received was amazing. My original care plans fell through and Jessie was kind enough to accept my last-minute request. Not only was Jessie gracious enough to accept help me out, but Jessie came by to meet Keena and make her feel comfortable before watching her. Jessie gave many updates, sent photos, and was always playing with Keena during visits; clearly making her feel comfortable. Jessie also dealt with some fear issues my dog was having, and did everything possible to make Keena feel better. When I returned from my trip, Keena was wagging and happy as could be, which told me she was well taken care of while I was away!

Adriana was great! We came in from out of town for our son’s graduation and had to leave our nervous chihuahua in his apartment. Adriana took all of peppers cues and by the end of the day pepper asked to be pet! Pepper does NOT let anyone new touch her so this was a testament to how comfortable she felt with Adriana! Wish we lived closer so we could use her all the time. Highly recommend!

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs, including feeding, providing fresh water, and ensuring they get regular exercise through walks. I have looked after my friends dog on multiple occasions, taking responsibility for their daily needs and giving them plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. I’m actively looking to walk dogs as I enjoy walking them during the evening time. I’m a teacher so during school year, lm available 3 pm and onwards I am only offering dog walking service since I live in an apartment, it will be very difficult to take care of the dog here.

Tyler did an excellent job looking after our kitties and guinea pigs while we were on vacation. He communicated often and followed all care instructions. He even got our shy kitty to warm up to him very quickly, which is a feat in itself. Everything was in perfect order when we returned. Highly recommend!

Vanessa was absolutely incredible this weekend while pet sitting Tonor, Ink, Hunter, and Tux! From the moment she arrived, it was clear how knowledgeable and genuinely caring she is. With her zoology background and zookeeper experience, I felt completely confident that my crew was in the best hands possible. She kept everyone enriched, fed, hydrated, and happy and the photos she sent throughout the stay were amazing. Tonor and Ink looked relaxed and cozy, Hunter was his curious self, and Tux enjoyed every minute of attention (and treats!). Vanessa captured their personalities perfectly, and it was obvious they were comfortable, entertained, and loved the entire time. Communication was fast, clear, and consistent. She checked in often, sent Rover Cards, and made sure I always knew how things were going. I genuinely felt peace of mind the whole weekend. It’s rare to find someone who treats your pets with the same care you do but Vanessa really does. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, professional, and truly passionate about animals. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!

About: I’ve taken care of both dogs and cats for roughly the last 5 years. I love how sweet and cuddly animals are and I hope you will trust me to watch yours! I currently work full time, so I am available during weekends and after 5pm! I still have plenty of time to play with your animals💗 Though I do not have any animals of my own, whenever I watch someone else’s, I treat them like I would if they were mine 💗 I keep an active eye on them and make sure they aren’t supposed to get into anything they shouldn’t be in.

We cannot recommend Zuzu enough! She has been watching our beloved Foxxy-Freyja for a few years and consistently goes above and beyond. When it began, our girl was going through chemotherapy and required medications and Zuzu did wonderful with her. Not only does she do an amazing job with care, playtime, and providing detailed updates and pictures, but she also helped out by bringing in packages while we were away. It is such a relief to find someone so trustworthy, professional, and genuinely caring. Foxxy-Freyja absolutely adores her, and we can finally travel worry-free. 5 stars!😻😻😻😻😻

Ginnie was able to do drop-ins with our two cats through the Thanksgiving holiday, which we were very grateful for! She was even able to come Thanksgiving day. She was delayed a few times due to snow, but she kept us updated so we knew what was going on. She followed our feeding instructions and the cats were well-cared for while we were gone.

Mollie was an outstanding sitter for our cat, and I highly recommend her! She took amazing care of our furbaby, Chester, and made certain that he felt loved and cared for during our absence. Her updates and photos were greatly appreciated. She took care of all of his needs, and he was especially thrilled to get regular brushings and treats. I most appreciate that she was efficient in taking care of the basics (food, water, litter) so that she could spend quality time spoiling him during each visit. Chester misses you, Mollie!

I can't say enough for Julianna. She met all my expectations and my girls loved her. She was a life saver and was able to meet my needs at the last minute. She was prompt and communicated diligently with every visit. She made me feel comfortable leaving my girls. She messaged me when she arrived for her visit and when she left. She notified me of any concerns and what she did with my dogs while she was at the house. I would definitely recommend her for any of your needs. I will definitely use her again. Thank you Julianna
