“Erin took great care of our kitty! She was communicative and responsive. With our car she was patient and understanding. Would recommend her!”


“Alina was great with my dog, Moose! She was prompt and made sure to take up the whole 30 minutes, and my dog really enjoyed her company! I would recommend Alina to anyone looking for a dog walker in the area.”



“Tom was super responsive and took great care of Mr Tibbs last weekend. Tibbsy took a little while to warm up, but Tom was able to use his charms and cat treats to make him comfortable during this first interaction.”


“Jupiter has been amazing! Often times, we would have to add or cancel day sitting sessions and Jupiter never had any problems with the change. Only reason we are leaving is because we were moving, otherwise we would keep Jupiter for our dogs entire life!”


“We were so lucky to have Elisangela taking care of our pup while we were away for a week! We were able to relax and not worry about him at all, knowing he was in such good hands. She was thorough in providing reports and photos, letting us know exactly how he was doing and we knew he was being well loved throughout the week. We will definitely be contacting her again the next time we need someone to watch our dog, Archie! We recommend her services to anyone - she is trustworthy and kind!”


“On time, flexible, responsive, attentive and patient with our dogs, especially our older pup who is slower to warm up to new people. Will hire him again!”



“Danielle did an excellent job caring for our furry family while we went away for a week! We stayed in touch regularly and felt comfortable our dog and kitties had what they needed. We highly recommend Danielle and plan to book again in the future!”


“Holly did a terrific job! She dealt with an unexpected situation (my fault, gave her the wrong key) with ease. She inspires confidence, took the time to take care of everything we requested.”


About: I have been carings for dogs of all sizes since I was a teenager. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and give necessary medication to their pets, as well as care for their pets overnight when theyre on vacation. I'm currently a stay-at-home mom with all three kids in school, so I will have plenty on time to care for your dog on weekdays between 8am and 2pm. When I walk your dog or drop by for a check in, I can play games with them, talk sweet to them and give them lots of love and snuggles.

“Rosemary was an amazing caretaker for our two cats while we were out of town! She was always on time for check-ins, gave detailed reports of her visit & tons of photos. She went above and beyond caring for our cats (and finding them in their many hiding spots); we couldn’t have asked for a better first Rover experience.”


“Ian was a great pet sitter. Ian followed the instructions we left very well. Between pet sitting two cats and a dog, we came home to a happy and healthy house. I would absolutely recommend Ian for your house and pet sitting needs and we have already asked about pet sitting again for another trip. Thank you.”


“Rebekah was communicative and attentive to my dog. We have a great experience with her and will be utilizing her services again! Thank you so much, Rebekah!”


“A very reliable caregiver for my two dogs, and they always look so happy in the pictures!”



“Linda did a great job! She sent me texts letting me know how the visit went which was very reassuring and gave me peace of mind. I came home to a happy healthy cat :)”


About: I was lucky enough to have the most amazing shiba Inu named Baggio for 11 years whom recently passed. My mission now is to help other pets/dogs in honor of him. I also have a kitten named Horus. Proceeds will towards local pet related shelters. I work out of the house and have plenty of time to dedicate to animals that are under my care. I'm available for your dog as if they were my own. they’ll always have fresh spring water and food available for them (you provide) they’ll have plenty of room in the home to roam and play, if walks are required they’ll be walked and loved as if were my own.

“My dogs are my world. They aren't the easiest and I was hesitant to leave them in someone else's care. My husband and I chose Bethany. She had no problems with them and for the first time in years we are able to go away. We are confident knowing Kingsley and Rosa are being well taken care of by her. I highly recommend Bethany.”


“Michelle has been fantastic with our golden retriever Troy! We highly recommend Michelle for high quality drop in visits as she cares for Troy like one of our own family.”


“Trisha was so responsive and flexible. She came over to meet our Vizsla the night before we needed her help for a walk so that she’d be more comfortable. Punctual, great communication and awesome pictures. 5 star experience.”


“Dependable and great care! Thank you!”


About: I’ve had 2 black labs of my own for over 5 years now, and a lot of experience with walking, feeding, and bathing them, and even experience with behavioral issues as they are both rescues. During the summer, I dog walk for a local business and usually walk about 5 different dogs per day (individually or in pairs). When house sitting, walking, or just hanging- out with your dog, their safety is of the utmost importance to me while we have fun walking, playing, etc. As a college student, I do have classes throughout the week but am very flexible on the days I do. Weekends work great as I do not have prior commitments on those days. During the week, I can easily fit pet care in my routine after class. I am very confident in dog walking as I have over 3 years experience with many different breeds and sizes of dogs. I am comfortable walking them on main roads and ensuring the safety of myself and your pets. Pet sitting at a clients home, staying over-night, and dropping in throughout the day is also okay with me!
