Gussie did a wonderful job taking care of Simba, our geriatric Lionhead bunny. She was on time, followed instructions and was excellent in helping us during a stressful time.

Samantha has been great with our fur babies! Reliable and trusting for a long weekend away. She has earned the love from our shy boy which means a lot! Was cautious on super hot days to not walk them on the pavement but instead stayed and played with them in the yard to get all the energy out. Will continue to use her services in the future!

About: I have several years of experience with both dogs and cats. The largest dog I've handled was 120 lbs. I'm down to cuddle or go on a walk, whatever your pet needs. I am a college student so I am flexible daily and can come by your house when needed. I am free on weekends and most weeknights. I would love if you can give me specifics on your pet's routine and any behavior I should know about. I have some experience with oral medication if your pet ever needs it.

Zoe was great! She was always on-schedule and was very patient with my weird little girl. She does things like hiding when it's time to go out and then pulling a LOT once you finally get her out. But Zoe never complained and always hung around with the baby for a few minutes of love and play after the walk. My schedule has changed and no longer need a dog-walker, but if I ever need one again, will definitely look for her!

Holt took excellent care of my old "girl". I probably booked her care inappropriately for while I vacationed. I booked her for 3 - 30min walks a day and it was to much for her. While communicating with Holt we changed her care to suit her better. I appreciated that!

Jessica was my lifesaver!!!! I injured my knee and was suddenly unable to walk my dog. She was available on short notice and responded quickly. I was in such a panic but she reassured me that she would take great care of my baby! She was flexible, patient, and kind. I had the worst day and I was being so spastic and crazy and she was sooo sweet to me. I am thankful to have found her . My dog absolutely loved her! She took notes about specific things concerning his care, and she followed all instructions given and had a successful walk with him! She took him to the park, his favorite place :) I am so thankful that Jessica has experience with large breeds and was able to handle my 70 lb dog. She sent me updates and pictures which helped my bad day get soo much better and put my mind at ease seeing my dog so happy and in great hands! She is reliable, responsible, and trustworthy. I would highly recommend Jessica and will definitely have her continue walking my dog until my leg heals (and after that too!) Thank you Jessica- you are the absolute best !!!

About: I’ve been around all types of animals ever since I was born- ranging from small dogs, large dogs, cats, reptiles, and avians! I enjoy taking care of fur-babies of different species. Working in veterinary medicine for 5 years and on-going has taught me a lot about taking more in-depth care of our fur-babies. From medicating with pills to injections or even handling them on case to case basis. I currently work full-time as a veterinary assistant from 7-5 and I am willing to work with schedules if need be! I’m available almost every weekend and have Thursday as a day off. My schedule is flexible and very open! I’m comfortable with leash walking, fenced in back-yards, and crating. Feeding on a schedule and making sure that they will get the potty breaks and exercise they need!

About: I’ve taken care of my neighbor’s animals whenever they needed me to since I was in elementary school. I’m known to be extremely responsible, and have been working since I was 15 years old. I have two dogs currently and one cat, and have helped to take care of my family pets since I was in kindergarten. I am very good at time management and organization and will always be able to make time to take care of your pet. I am available most mornings and evenings. My schedule is extremely flexible as I am a college student and can move things around as necessary in order to take care of your loved animal. I am very gentle with all animals and will never be harsh with your pet. I am great with keeping a good schedule for feeding and letting your pet out to go to the restroom, along with giving them an excellent walk so their energy is well spent. I love spending quality time with pets outside of walking, too, whether it’s throwing a toy in the backyard or just watching television together for a little bit so they don’t feel lonely.

About: I have experience sitting dogs and cats ages 6 months - 16 years, including overnight house sitting, walking and playing, and regular feedings! I have trained two of my own dogs from puppies, and am very patient with all animals. I am a full time student at James Madison University, so I have plenty of time to spend with your furry friends on weekdays and weekends when not in school! I have a flexible schedule at school and am more than able to drop in for quick potty breaks during the school day as well. If there is not fenced in yard, I keep dogs on a leash at all times to ensure safety. I never allow pets to be near human food unless authorized due to allergies and special accommodations. I spend lots of time giving your pets attention, love , and care while their best friends are away!

About: Hi! My name is Apryl and pets are my favorite people! I love animals of all kinds and especially dogs! I grew up in Indiana and had dogs of all sizes and breeds as a kid and as an adult giving me experience with many breeds including Dobermans, St. Bernards, Newfoundlands, Pit Bulls, Yorkies, Shitzus, Chihuahuas, Chows and more. I have experience with exotics, including birds as well and pretty much feel I can tame and "talk" with any animal. I spent my life as a social worker and therapist and now I am an artist and small business owner. My work allows me to do what I really enjoy which is spend more time with the animals and using my art to bring travel and help bring awareness to the plight of endangered animals around the world. I look forward to helping you care for your pet just as you would and making sure that you and your pet’s Rover experience is furnomenal!

Laiken has truly been wonderful for my dog and I. He is a puppy, and trying to learn a routine and schedule and she has gone above and beyond to help me. I work night shift and she helps make it work for me. I truly have found i can trust her in my home and with my dog. She updates me with everything she does with him. I will be continuing to have her hang out with my dog as long as she will be available to. I would recommend her to anyone.
