“Dean has been great w my lab mix who has anxiety meeting new ppl. He has been very patient and easy to communicate with. I appreciate that he sends a picture every time”
“Peyton has been absolutely amazing! She stepped in for a few last-minute bookings when I was dealing with car issues, and I can’t thank her enough. She’s incredibly reliable, follows directions perfectly, and most importantly—she’s great with my pets. Her communication is clear, timely, and reassuring. It’s such a relief knowing I can count on someone who truly cares. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible, compassionate, and dependable dog walker! Scout and Chuck 🐕🦺🐕🐾🐾💙☺️🌞”
“Dayten is great with my golden retriever. He is prompt, professional, and my dog is excited to see him every time that he comes over. I trust him with my dog, and I no longer worry about having to go on work trips because I know my dog is in good hands. I would highly recommend him.”
“THE BEST!!!!!!!! She goes out of her way to make sure your baby is happy!!! My Winston is always tired when he gets home so I know she has done her job!!! I can not say enough how much I appreciate her!!!!! 100 stars and more for this lady!!!”
“I’m SO incredibly thankful I found Jennifer! She takes such good care of my boy when I’m at work. She even treats him to “spa days” by brushing him with a brush she bought for him. She is sweet and patient which is needed with Stryker since he takes a few meetings to warm up to new people. She keeps me updated and lets me know/asks questions if Stryker is acting “off”. Don’t think, just book with her!”

About: I grew up watching friends and neighbors pets from dogs, cats, fish, birds to some more unique ones such as chickens and llamas! My sweet Nyla unfortunately crossed the rainbow bridge this July 2024. At this time I am only hosting 1-2 dogs at a time. I like to be able to give each one the attention they deserve. My home is small and cozy, I don’t have a fenced in yard but I make sure we go out for plenty of walks and exercise. I live very close to dog parks and walking trails and enjoy running so no fear of your pet not getting enough exercise. I have experience administering basic medication as needed. My goal is to make your pups stay as enjoyable as possible and help you stay at ease during your time away. I provide plenty of photo updates to let you know how they are doing. I also provide FREE pick ups and drop offs for your convenience. I work from home part time and have a very flexible schedule which makes it easier for short notice or to be able to provide service if needed more than once a days. I try to learn as much as I can about your pet such as: routine, likes and dislikes, allergies, health concerns, etc to help make sure they feel safe and comfortable.
About: Being around animals is truly a passion for me. I have a special place in my heart for animals and would have more of my own if I could. They make me smile and brighten my day just knowing they were happy to have me there. I have dog sat and walked several area families. I always appreciate knowing if any dog needs special attention of any kind. It is helpful for both of us. I believe animals should be a part of one's family and I treat them all as family. I work part time so I have a flexible schedule when it comes to the needs of your furry friends. I’m open to caring for a variety of animals with proper instructions. I am capable of handling more than one dog or cat. If you need a specific routine to check on your dog or cat please just let me know and I will do my best to accommodate those needs. Do you have a yard? Please indicate if you have a dog that you prefer to play and exercise in your yard or if you would like me to take them around the neighborhood for a nice walk for exercise.
About: I work from home so i can devote a lot of time to just being around for any pets needs. I can cater to their needs and be very flexible. I am very lucky to be able to offer as much attention as the animal needs! I’m currently working from home, with a flexible schedule. I am allowed to set my own hours so I can adapt to the pets needs/schedule. I live in an apartment and have hosted cats before comfortably. For dogs I don’t have a fenced yard but we have dog parks in the complex that are fenced and lots of grass so it’s an easy walk outside the apartment.
“We contacted David to help with our dog, Bella Mae, for a couple days last week as I had minor surgery and could not walk her. David was nice enough to stop by prior to scheduled time and meet us and Bella. He is a fine young man who clearly loves animals and was great with Bella Mae.”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover who’s been lucky enough to grow up with Labs of all colors — yellow, chocolate, and black! I currently have a fun-loving chocolate lab of my own, and caring for dogs has always been second nature to me. I prioritize daily playtime and long walks to keep dogs happy, healthy, and engaged. I’ve crate-trained and leash-trained my own pup, and I love helping dogs learn new tricks, chances are your dog will pick up a few by the time you pick them up! Whether your dog is high-energy or more of a couch snuggler, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and entertained while you’re away. I work from home Monday-Friday so someone will always be home with your pet. Our weekly schedule consists of walks on the water and trips to the dog park. I have a large fenced in yard with brand new turf ready for your pet to run around! We have a separate potty area as well. I have a large crate on hand if needed for your dog but happy to let them roam free as well.
About: Ever since I’ve been a kid I’ve dreamed of working with animals. I’m very patient and hardworking. I love a bit of a challenge with animals and making them happy is what matters to me. I work part time currently with some hours of free time and I would love to spend some time with some pups and cats even if it means taking a day off to watch them overnight so you feel safe knowing ur beloved animal is in good hands.Taking care of animals warms my heart and I’d love to make it a habit of mine in the long term! Not only would a habit be great but a permanent lifestyle is what I’m aiming for. Can’t wait to start my journey:) I always have my puppy around me and I walk him 3 times a day and feed him properly and always make sure he’s clean and comfortable. I am able to prove whatever my client needs to feel secure with me. If that includes meet and greets to feel comfortable please let me know I’m very social and love to get to know others.
“Would we choose Jess again with our pups? Never looked for anyone again after we found her, she’s it for us! The both of us are medical professionals who work long days, and our patient care is priority during those hours, so we needed someone we could trust to do a mid day visit to break up the day. We were very apprehensive and new to Rover, but after all the looking, we kept going back to Jessica’s profile, and for good reason! From day one she has put our minds at ease and we knew she was a perfect fit. She comes with integrity and honesty, and she always makes our dogs and us her priority. Her gentle disposition and kind demeanor made it easy for the dogs to love her. She goes above and beyond every time and always makes right if anything comes about. She makes herself available even in last minute change of plans, with her we know the pups are well taken care of and enjoying time with their friend Jessica! We will always choose Jessica, she’s worth placing your trust in!”
“Joe is an outstanding pet sitter. We recommend him highly! Leaving our dogs Queso and Figgy in the care of a sitter is always a stressful experience. Not with Joe! Joe arrived to meet our dogs and instantly formed a connection with our French Bulldogs (and us). Joe embraced his duties as a pet sitter with tremendous enthusiasm and attention to detail. Joe made sure he was completely acquainted with all aspects of our pets’ routines, feeding schedules, and behavioral idiosyncrasies. Joe took special care to make us feel comfortable and confident that all was in good hands. Joe has a flexible schedule that fits well with duties as a pet sitter. Joe was able to time regular visits thoughout the morning, noon, and evening hours. For each visit Joe sent messages and photos which provided us the peace of mind to enjoy our trip. When we returned home, all was in order and our boys were happy. Joe’s love of animals is apparent in every feature of the care he provides. Joe is one of those special people who takes the extra time to provide an abundance of love, affection, attention, and belly rubs to our best friends. If you can manage to book Joe, you will be very pleased and fortunate in your selection of a pet sitter!”

Janelle M.Star Sitter
“Janelle has house sat for me multiple times and I have never been worried or disappointed. She is self aware, self sufficient, diligent, and treats the pets she cares for like they are her own. She is very friendly to pet parents and can easily follow care instructions from them & follows them in full. My cats seemed especially excited about whenever she comes in and out for regular scheduled care visits. As I knew my dog has always been slightly skittish, however she was in no time used to Janelle. I myself value my animals enjoying the time she takes to visit and care for them. Janelle will without a doubt put your mind at ease while you go on vacation, out of town or have to work longer hours at work. I highly recommend Janelle as your Rover caretaker!”

Valarie was great with my dogs! She was quick to respond and available to do a meet and greet on short notice. She arrived right on time, took plenty of pictures and even worked with my puppy on eating with the other dogs. I would highly recommend Valarie for your next dog walking/sitting needs! Thank you, Valarie, for taking such great care of Sperry, Bear and Buc! 😊

Lexi did an amazing job with my dog, Lemon, who struggles with anxiety and fear. It’s not easy finding someone who understands how to work with dogs that have specific behavioral needs, but Lexi definitely knows what she’s doing. She follows Lemon’s training carefully to maintain consistency. She’s also communicative and professional and keeps me updated to make sure I feel comfortable and informed. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, experienced dog walker, especially if your dog needs a little extra care and understanding.
