“Yeojin walked my very large (80 lbs) and energetic puppy over New Years weekend and he was very well taken care of. Each day he was very happy and content when I returned from work. Would highly recommend Yeojin as a dog walker.”

“Polina is absolutely fantastic! She is very easy to communicate with, always very quick with response, extremely flexible with scheduling, and wonderful with my dogs, sending lots of pictures every walk. I felt completely at ease knowing my dogs were in great hands. I will definitely ask her to help with dog walking again very soon and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring walker.”

“Cecilia is the absolute best! She started walking my dog, Elphie, while I’m gone and has been instrumental in helping as we transition to a two dog household adding in a senior, deaf rescue. She gained both dogs trust and they look forward to seeing her everyday. I would highly recommend Cecilia for all your pet care needs! She is kind, reliable, thorough, attentive to my girls needs - everything you want when you’re away from home!”

Katharina G.

“Kirsten did a great job walking Ava! Will definitely call on her again.”

Carol F.

“Allison was fantastic! She responded to our last-minute request right away and arrived exactly on time. She took great care of our dog, sent us adorable photos, and kept us updated during the walk. It gave us such peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. We will absolutely be using Allison again and highly recommend her!”

About: What sets me apart is the level of care, patience, and attention I bring to every pet I meet—because I truly treat them like family. Whether it’s a high-energy puppy learning the ropes or a senior pet needing a gentler touch, I adjust my care to meet their unique needs. I have hands-on experience with dogs of all ages and temperaments, including those with medical needs or anxiety. I’m confident giving medications, reinforcing basic training, and creating a calm, comforting environment for your pet—whether it’s during a quick drop-in or an overnight stay. You can expect consistent communication, lots of photo updates, and peace of mind knowing your pet is in loving, capable hands. I work from home most days and have a flexible schedule that allows me to be flexible in the care I provide for fur babies. When caring for pets in my home, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment that feels like a second home. I stick to their regular routines as much as possible—feeding times, walk schedules, crate or nap habits—so they feel secure. I make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, play, and cuddle time, and I never leave pets unsupervised for long periods.

“Always so sweet with my pup! Her help is much appreciated!”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 13 years old, and over the years, it’s become much more than just a responsibility, it’s something I truly love. There’s a special kind of joy that comes from spending time with dogs, and I’ve always felt a natural connection towards them. The longest I’ve boarded a dog was four months while his family was away on vacation and it was such a blessing to do. My schedule is completely open at the moment, so I’m available throughout the day to meet your dog’s needs—whether it's walks, playtime, meals, or just companionship. I’m here and ready whenever you need me! I have a large, fully fenced backyard where your dogs can run, play, and explore safely. There's also a nearby open field perfect for extra energy-burning adventures. I’m happy to crate your dogs if they need it, and of course, they’ll get plenty of loving companionship and attention throughout the day

About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life and love them! I am very familiar with the mental and physical stimulation needed for high-energy dogs. In addition, I have had 2 years of experience with caretaking for senior and special needs dogs. I am available for dog walking and drop-in visits as my class schedule and transport time allows—this is mostly weekday afternoons, some evenings, and weekends! I provide attentive, customized pet care in clients’ homes, including feeding, walking, playtime, administering medications, crating, cleaning, and following any special instructions to ensure comfort.

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and have been caring for cats and dogs on Rover for about three years. I also shared my life with a beautiful cat for 16 years, and through her health challenges, I learned a lot about patience, empathy, and attentive care. I believe the key to connecting with animals is to respect and appreciate them in a gentle, thoughtful way, that’s what allows me to build real trust and closeness with them. I am a graduate student with relatively flexible schedules. I will be available during day times when I am not having classes and most of the nights. I can offer cat sitting, giving food and medicine, socialization, cleaning the litter, etc. I can also walk, groom and give food to small and medium sized dogs.

About: I always say that animals make everything better and I really believe that! Growing up with multiple animals in my life, I've always understood that every animal has their own personality, routine, and comfort level that is important to learn. Having experience with both adopted young puppies and adult dogs, I know the value of developing behavioral skills while also having fun! I’ve always been the go-to friend with questions about caring for animals, and I truly enjoy building trust with both pets and their people. Although new to Rover, I bring 15+ years of hands-on experience and am confident I can provide safe, loving, and enriching experience for your furry friend, treating them like my own. I’m currently working from home full time except for one-two days of the week. On the days I work from home (Mondays, most Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays) I have the flexibility to make local drop-in visits or take walks in the area. I also am able to work remotely from any location with WiFi, so if your best friend needs a house-sitter, I can be available. I have the most availability for services on the weekends when I am off the clock, but I am also flexible. I can also accept last minute bookings. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions about my availability! Whether it’s a walk, a drop-in, or spending time keeping your furry friend company, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely love giving dogs the care, affection, and attention they deserve. From energetic pups who need extra movement to calmer dogs who just want to vibe out, I’m happy to adapt to your dog’s needs! I am also am RECOVER Pet CPR certified. I like to schedule meet and greets so I can become acquainted with the space, access, and so your pet and I can get familiar with each other☺️

“Teddy is great with dogs and very reliable. Would recommend to anyone interested.”

“Andreas warmed up to her immediately and loves his daily walk with Nhu Theiu! She’s also very responsive, communicative and reliable every time I’ve needed her. Can’t recommend her enough!”

About: I grew up with pets (mostly cats) and currently have one cat at home. I also love dogs and walking, playing, and running with them. I have also cared for dogs with heartworm so understand the low activity needs accompanied with that. Right now, I am available for walks and drop-in visits throughout the day. For house sitting I am able to be at your house to care for your pets full-time or at least most of the time. I enjoy playing and being active with your pet! I am attentive to their needs and am ready and willing to follow any instructions given in terms of caring for your pet and their unique needs.

“Dante is always wonderful and gives us detail about how Knox did. Also our faucet broke when he was there (not his fault second time our landlord needs to fix) and he went out and bought bottled water to make sure he could refill Knox! Such a gem!”
