Amanda communicates to me with our dog’s behavior and makes me feel confident that our dog is happy. Would recommend her to anyone needing care for any dog big or small, young or mature.

Shadia is great! Shadia is quick to respond to a request for a dog walk, shows up on time, can handle my very old hearing impaired dog, and follows my overly detailed instructions! 😂

Kaleigh was an amazing sitter for our dog! She offered a meet and greet prior since it was our first time booking so that everyone was comfortable. She was punctual, attentive, and made sure to communicate so we knew exactly what was going on and when. We will definitely be using her again! 100% recommend her for your pets 🫶🏼

Marissa is awesome! She has been walking Lilly for over a week now, and I couldn't be happier. She is dependable, always comes in the time frame I ask, and I feel that she cares about my dog. She always gives me updates in addition to the card that Rover gives you. As a dog trainer myself, I have met several dog walkers who don't actually know how to walk a dog. You can rest assured that Marissa will properly walk your dog. I highly recommend that if you need a dog walker to look no further than Marissa.

About: My family has always had dogs and cats. From shih tzu to pitties to huskies to corgis to bulldogs, I've trained and handled a lot of pups! Additionally I've volunteered walking dogs and fostered animals for the Friendship APL since I was 11. My neighbors have even had me take care of their cats for weeks at a time. I am a stay-at-home animal parent so I'm free throughout the day and week to take care of and spend time with your lovely pet(s)! My experience with various dogs and cats makes me versatile. A young pup that needs training? A working dog that loves their long walks? An old cat that rather just snuggle up? I can cover it all.

Extremely reliable, communicative, and the dogs absolutely love him—we couldn’t ask for a better daily visit than our walks with CJ! He provides so much peace of mind, knowing my dogs are being well cared for when I can’t be there. The adorable photo updates are always a joy, and it’s clear that he puts a lot of effort into building relationships with his clients—human and furry friends alike.

About: Hi, I’m Ashley—professional animal lover and your pet’s new favorite human 🐾 I spent 6 years as a vet assistant in both emergency and general practice (DC & Cleveland), so I’m not just here for the cuddles—I’m trained to handle a wide range of situations and keep your pet safe and happy. At home, I have three pups of my own, so I fully understand the level of care, attention, and love your pets deserve. I’m big on routines, attention to detail, and making sure your pet feels comfortable while you’re away—because let’s be honest, they run the house. If you’re looking for someone reliable, experienced, and genuinely obsessed with animals… I’m your person.😁💗🐾 Caring for animals is already a big part of my everyday life. With a flexible schedule, I’m generally available for weekdays, evenings, and weekends, which makes it easy for me to provide reliable and consistent care. Between my background as a vet assistant and having three dogs of my own, I’m very used to building my routine around pets—making sure they’re comfortable, on schedule, and well taken care of. Care is always tailored to each pet’s routine and environment. I focus on consistency, attention to detail, and creating a calm, comfortable experience—whether in my home or my client’s. With a background in veterinary care, I’m able to provide an added level of awareness and support to ensure each pet’s well-being.

About: I cared for a wonderful Pomeranian for 17 years, giving me extensive experience with small breeds and senior dogs. For the past two years, I’ve also been dog sitting a friend’s Maltipoo, who stays with me for extended periods. These experiences have strengthened my ability to provide patient, attentive, and reliable care for dogs of all ages and personalities. When caring for any pet, their needs are always my top priority. I’m home often, which means every pet in my care receives plenty of loving attention, along with frequent bathroom breaks and walks throughout the day. Your pet will always feel cared for, comfortable, and never overlooked. In my home, pets are treated like family. I provide a calm, safe, and loving environment where they can relax, play, and feel comfortable. Every pet receives individual attention, plenty of affection, and care tailored to their needs so they feel happy and secure while in my care.

About: A little about me! I have been dog sitting for over four years and truly enjoy caring for animals. My professional background includes working with children through the Boys & Girls Club of America in both after-school and summer programs, as well as working in senior assisted living communities, where I currently work full-time. I also earned my esthetician license, but I continue working in assisted living because I love building relationships and caring for others. Outside of my full-time career, pet sitting is something I genuinely enjoy. I’ve always been an animal lover and have a soft spot for both dogs and cats, which I could never choose a favorite! I currently provide pet care for friends, family, coworkers, and referrals through mutual connections. I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy to care for your pets when you’re away. My goal is to make both you and your pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. You can also expect plenty of photos, videos, and updates while you’re away. I believe staying connected with your pet brings peace of mind and helps you enjoy your time away worry free!! I currently work everyday until 2 pm except Wednesdays and Fridays I am off and work every other weekend. However I still am available everyday for house sitting. I never leave the animals longer than 8 hours! I strive to maintain your pet’s regular routine as closely as possible. Feeding times are scheduled according to your preferences, though there may occasionally be slight adjustments based on my work schedule. I make it a priority to keep pets active, engaged, and happy through playtime, walks, and other activities. My goal is to provide a comfortable, familiar environment that helps your pet feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I have been rescuing cats and other animals for over 15 years and work with my neighbors to try and find homes for them. We have always had dogs and cats. I love animals and have lots of love and attention to give! Since my husband passed away in 2010, I have spent time traveling and I have time on my hands to work on my garden and house and read. I love the company of animals and I feel they like me too! I am a very organized person and try to provide a sense of a schedule for the pets as well. I think it helps everyone to be flexible but not in the areas that matter like going outside and the feeding schedules! No pitbulls, and no mixed breeds with pitbulls please. I’m currently working part-time so I will have plenty of time for your pets! I provide a loving, nurturing environment. I can take your pet after 2 pm! I have a fenced in back yard. I will provide exercise and plenty of fresh water and opportunities for potty breaks! Daily walks as well!

About: I’ve been surrounded by pets my whole life! I’ve had dogs, cats, birds, and a chinchilla that I’ve taken care of. I currently have two German Shepherds and two cats! I will provide patient, personalized care and treat every pet like my own. I understand that every animal has different needs, routines, and personalities, so I will focus on making them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away! I am entering summer break and only have track practices, so I have a lot of available time to make visits! You can also reach out any time, even same-day messages! I have a large front and back yard, and the back is also fenced in for extra safety. My dogs at home are also friendly to have a pet friend! If needed, there are also plenty of rooms in my house to separate animals too.
