“This was our first time using Rover and we could not have been happier with the service we received from Brittany. She really does seem to love dogs and our dog took to her right away. She came in advance to get instructions for the day and wanted to make sure she had the instructions correct. Brittany arrived on time the day of the service. She completed all the tasks asked of her, sent wonderful pictures of our pet to us so we could see he was being taken good care of and sent a comprehensive report of the visit right after. Brittany also response extremely quick when contacted. We would definitely recommend and user Brittany's services again.”

16. Cameron C.
About: I grew up with cats and later adopted a dog of my own. I have taken care of neighbors' and friends dogs since I was a teenager. I practice positive reinforcement and stay closely attuned to the needs/moods of our four legged friends. Working part time currently, available all weekdays before 1:00pm, and all day Sunday. I love the outdoors and can go on long or short walks, whatever your dog prefers. We can take it easy and go for a leisurely stroll, or go for an adventure. Drop-ins are of course based on what the owner needs, but I take care to make sure the space is neat, any messes are cleaned up, and the dog is re-crated or penned off before leaving after taking care of feeding and playtime.
17. Amela V.
“I’ve always had an amazing experience working with Amela. She has taken care of my cat several times over the past year and a half, and each time she is very easy to communicate with and sends plenty of pictures of her playing with Jack Jack - they have a great time together! She is extremely reliable and experienced in taking care of a variety of animals, including dogs. I highly recommend her and look forward to working with her again next time I need a pet sitter.”
18. Fernando & Elizabeth R.
“This is a family business and they take care of your pet with love and dedication as if the pet would be at its home”
19. Marta L.
“I will definitely book Marta again! I appreciated her updates and communication.”
20. Hope R.
“Hope is the definition of best dogsitter. Our pug Mushroom has so many dietary/medicinal needs that we have to force-feed him 5 different pills a day which he despises (with a fight). We were so nervous finding a new sitter after our old one moved because of this, but Hope really put our nerves to rest the first time she took care of Mushroom. Without even promoting her, Hope had asked all of the questions that need answered for a pug like Mush. I was pleasantly surprised, and after we left the two of them, Hope did an incredible job at keeping us nerve-free with her frequent communication. By the time we'd come home, Mush seemed happy and close with Hope (despite being a typically antisocial dog). He was his usual self health-wise. We really appreciated Hope's dedication to taking care of Mush and will be trusting her with Mush more moving forward!”
