About: Hello! My name is Avery ..... I have had dogs all throughout my life and plan to keep it that way! As a kid I grew up with with two beagles, a chocolate lab, a pit bull, and most recently a rescue shar pei/ lab mix. I love seeing every animals personality shine through and spoiling them with love and attention. Each one of my dogs has loved the outdoors (almost as much as me) and had lives full of adventure and exercise. I have also lived with cats and love them (through my previous roommate). I love animals of all breeds and sizes and would love the chance to meet yours! I am a current student so my schedule is semi flexible at the moment. Currently unavailable/working Tuesday evenings (although i pick up other shifts when im able). I try my best to keep my calendar updated to reflect my availability, please reach out if you have any questions! I am super active and would love to spend time outside walking with your pet if you' like and the weather allows! If not we can spend time in-doors playing.
About: I’ve had multiple years of experience with senior dogs, pets needing help with medication, or energetic pets requiring lots of play. I have two cats myself. I’m a musician with a flexible schedule so I can make time whenever they need me. Happy to do over nights or pop in visits. Ive found it best to try to keep animals routines and schedules as regular as possible from what they’re used to to minimize their stress.
“Alicyn was friendly and very patient with our anxious rescue dog!”
“She is amazing!”
About: I have always been the first to offer to cat or dog sit for my friends. My own cat needs daily oral medication, so I understand the importance of timely medication. I can't wait to meet you and your pets. I am currently attending online school, so I will have a lot of availability to care for your pets! I'm new to the area, and excited to get myself out there. I'm attentive to animal body language, and know some animal first-aid. In case of an emergency, I'm also capable of lifting up to about 80 pounds.
About: Growing up in a home filled with as many as 15 dogs at any given time, I was immersed in the world of professional dog training from an early age. My mother, a certified service and therapy dog trainer with CCPDT and IAABC credentials, passed on her wealth of knowledge to me as I assisted her in training and caring for our foster dogs. Over the past 25 years, I’ve gained invaluable hands-on experience in handling and training dogs of all temperaments. While I am currently working toward my own certification, my background allows me to provide expert-level care and understanding for your pets. I am confident that my lifelong experience can offer the perfect balance of love, care, and discipline that every dog needs. Thank you for considering me as your dog sitter—I look forward to the opportunity to care for your beloved companions. By day, I’m a director at a small airline which I work from home, which means I’ve got plenty of time to hang out and play with your best friend! I’m available for boarding on weekends and weekdays—let’s make sure your furry friends get the fun and attention they deserve! My home offers the perfect environment for your pup to play and relax. I have a fenced yard with a large sun shade, plenty of toys, and video surveillance for added peace of mind. Your dog will enjoy fresh, filtered water and healthy treats (with their human'a permission). For dietary reasons, their humans must provide their dog's food. Your pup is welcome to roam freely inside the house, but if you prefer them to be crated, I can accommodate that as well—just bring their crate along. Rest assured, your furry friend will be safe and comfortable in a clean, well-maintained, smoke-free home. As mentioned in my bio, I have extensive experience in dog care and training. Training services are also available for an additional fee for both the furry students and humans.
About: I’ve been an animal lover all my life and have often been called on to pet sit for friends and family. When I was younger, I wanted to be a veterinarian. At 17 I did an internship at my local animals hospital. As a result, I’m confident working with most animals and know what to look out for in terms of health issues and can give medications. Although I eventually left the pre-vet track, my love for animals has never wavered. I’m a self-employed writer and artist so I get to set my own schedule! I’m generally available between 8:30am to 8pm. I love doing longer housesits! I’m confident with cats and dogs and I have a list of questions I like to ask to make sure I do things just as you like. If I have any questions while caring for your pet I’ll make sure to reach out.
About: I grew up with three cats and help train dogs through the Leadershape! Now I typically share my dog sitting assistance with my friends (for free even!) although I don’t have pets in my own all animals will find a warm welcoming home here I’m currently working full-time, but I work in the evenings and come home on my breaks so plenty of time to check in on our furry friend during the work week I live in an apartment that has a fenced in yard for dogs and a neighborhood park nearby. I’ve sat for large dogs while living here and their needs have been accommodated!

About: I’ve been a pet owner for over 20 years, ranging from the typical fish, cat, and beloved Murphy, to include even a pet iguana (or two). 🥰 I have a fenced yard where both Murphy and your furry loved one can play and hang out. For overnight stays I have a large adult dog kennel that can accommodate a Mastiff just as comfortably as it can my Min Pin (who believes he’s the size of a Mastiff). 😄 I have an older dog with lots of energy and plays well with other dogs. I am an active person, so neighborhood walking is available for dogs with proper training. I can also provide some minor training reinforcement for puppies or young dogs learning new skills and/or tricks. 🐾 Tips are APPRECIATED!!! 🐾 I work from home! 🙌🏾 So my schedule is flexible and allows me to be able to work with and respond to clients in a timely manner. My home is fenced. All pets remain on the property unless they are taken for walks. I also will let clients know about overlaps in booking wih animals.
About: Back again and ready to care for your pups like family! 🐾 I’ve had my own dog for 9 years—he’s off-leash trained, never needed a crate, and truly part of our home. I’m a lifelong dog lover, and now my 3-year-old daughter is following in my footsteps—she’s gentle, kind, and absolutely obsessed with dogs! At 29, I run my own business and keep a calm, organized home, perfect for pups who need love, attention, and a safe space to relax or play. Whether it’s cuddles, walks, or playtime, your dog will be treated like one of our own. Can’t wait to meet your furry friend! Dog care fits perfectly into my weekly routine! I work from home and run my own business, which means I have the flexibility to create my schedule around your pup’s needs—especially during the day. I’m a single mom, and on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, my daughter is with her dad, giving me extra time and quiet space to dedicate to dog care. While I’m usually busier on evenings and weekends, I’m super organized and manage my time well—so there’s always room for a four-legged guest! Whether it’s midweek cuddles, walks, or daytime hangs, I’ve got the time, love, and energy to give your dog a cozy home away from home. Safety and comfort are top priorities in my home. I have a fully fenced-in yard, giving dogs a secure space to play and explore freely. For pups who need a little extra caution, I also have an extended leash option—so they can still enjoy the outdoors without worry. I treat every dog with the same love, patience, and attentiveness I give my own. Whether they’re energetic or more reserved, I know how to tune in to their needs and make them feel safe, seen, and cared for. My home is a calm, dog-friendly space where your pup will feel right at home. 🐾

Erik M.
“Erik is a very caring and responsible pet owner who I’ve seen take so much extra care for animals. Whether it be his own pet or one of his friends or even a stranger’s, Erik takes great care to make sure the animals around him are comfortable and taken care of. I’ve seen him researching best tactics for cat caregiving many times as he thoughtfully implements good practices into his routines with his best friend and kitty Bumi. Bumi was a starving street cat when they met and Erik and him slowly courted each other until a trusting bond was made and Bumi moved in. I hear many stories about training and caring for his past animals who he holds dear to his heart.”

“Tom did an amazing job with our husky, Nanook! He was able to teach him basic tricks like 'sit' and 'lay down,' something I had struggled with for a long time. Nanook responded so well to Tom’s calm and patient approach, and it’s clear Tom really understands dogs. I’m so impressed with the progress Nanook made in such a short time. Excellent experience overall, and I highly recommend Tom for anyone looking for a great dog trainer!”

Alden Park dog parents share their Rover experiences
Mary is great with my pitty!! She always did what I needed done and found the time to squeeze him in even in busy days! She does have a bad ankle so due to that we had to switch over so if u have a bigger stronger dog who pulls or is reactive, may be best to find someone else. But otherwise she did the job and walked him even with that ankle :)! She helped us find other options as well and always had tips to help when issues were brought up. She seems to really care about the animals and what they need.
Great job! I was in a pinch and Jack was able to come walk my little buddy. Gave him an extra long walk in the afternoon! A true animal lover. Would definitely recommend and use again!
Katie, does a great job caring for my furbaby. She’s very dependable and reliable. Highly recommended
Brianna was great. She was punctual and so very good with two challenging dogs. We liked having her take Guinness and Panza for a walk but they loved her.
Makenna came on a last minute notice and was such a huge help! She made the last minute booking easy with quick communication. Roxy was so happy after her walk. Highly recommend booking with Makenna!
Tara really gets 100 stars. She was very accommodating and worked so well with my dogs, I would highly recommend her to any one and with any breed. Tara is a dog whisperer! Book her today!
