“Amelia is the best!!! She’s been so very patient with our dog, Leah, who has major anxiety issues. She’s always prompt and timely in her communication. Leah just adores her and that makes us very happy.”


“I’m so glad I found Charnae! Willow my doodle, absolutely loves her. Every time she comes by, she’s excited to see her, and he always comes back tired and happy. It’s clear she takes great care of her, and I couldn’t ask for a better dog walker, this is also my first experience with Rover. I recommend Charnae, she’s very friendly and communication is professional. Looking forward to booking again.”


“Jane is so loving and kind to all 3 of my dogs. They were excited to meet with her during our meet and greet. She's a true animal lover including dogs and cats. I know my dogs will be in great hands in their future walks! They are very excited to get more cuddles and belly scratches. Jane, thank you so much!”


About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the real-world experience I bring from living and working with dogs every day. I’ve raised and trained a variety of breeds, including high-drive working dogs like Dobermans and a Donovan Pinscher, and I currently share my home with three dogs and a cat. My dogs are actively involved in dog sports. Giving me a strong foundation in obedience, structure, and engagement. I understand how to meet each dog where they are—whether it’s a playful puppy needing boundaries or a senior dog requiring calm, attentive care. I take a thoughtful, balanced approach with every dog I care for, focusing on clear communication, calm energy, and consistency. My experience allows me to confidently handle dogs with different needs and personalities, and I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and emotional well-being. Whether you’re looking for someone to reinforce good habits, provide mental stimulation, or simply give your pet a safe, peaceful break from home, I offer more than basic care—I bring a lifestyle built around respect, trust, and a genuine love for animals. Pet care fits naturally into my work schedule because it’s already a central part of my daily life and routine. Caring for animals isn’t something I squeeze in—it’s something I’ve built my lifestyle around. With experience raising and training multiple dogs, including high-drive working breeds, I’m used to managing feeding times, structured exercise, training sessions, and downtime throughout the day. My schedule is intentionally designed to support the physical and emotional needs of the animals in my care, allowing me to provide reliable, consistent attention without it ever feeling rushed or secondary. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm, structured environment. In my home, I maintain clear routines, supervise all interactions, and ensure every animal has their own space and comfort. When in your home, I follow your pet’s routine closely, respect their space, and provide consistent, attentive care. I read body language carefully, move at your pet’s pace, and focus on building trust through calm, confident handling. Your pet’s well-being is always my top priority, no matter the setting.

“Kristy volunteered to come for an in-person meeting before walking our dog. She is kind, enthusiastic and accommodating. When walking our puppy, she was very communicative and even sent a picture! It was great to hear how my dog was doing mid-day when we weren’t home. Kristy is great!”


About: I've taken care of family and friends pets for the past decade, and have experience in animal studies through my college degree. Additionally, I love animals and I'm looking forward to caring for and spending time with them! I am currently working part time at REI before my master's degree starts in September, and would love to fill the time I have in my part time shift with walking and pet sitting animals. I make sure that the environment in which I am taking care of your (and my) pets is safe for the animal, yet also enriching and comfortable for the animals.

About: I have always had dogs and know what it takes to care for them. As a recently retired D1 track and field runner, I am physically fit, strong, and capable to handle dogs of any size. I would love to take your dog out on a run! I am young, engaging, well organized, timely, and always will lead pets with empathy. My care for pets has ranged from puppies to old dogs. ,I do, however, have more experience with elderly dogs. I have provided care from simple pill feedings to care for dogs post surgeries and provided insulin injections. I know what it takes to not only care for a pet, but love them as well. I would live to provide your pet with the love all pets deserve and provide each owner with the peace of mind that I will do my best for each pet. I recently graduated from graduate school and have the summer months to dedicate to things I enjoy before my post-graduation academic endeavors begin in August. At this time, I am pretty much completely free in my days to spend time with my own pets. Growing up, I had two dogs that both grew to be the age of 16. I would always play, feed, treat, and bathe my two dogs. My current schedule can be filled with pet care as my current pets are two cats who don’t need too much care! I wish to fill my days with providing quality pet care support! My first step in providing the best care for pets is being prepared. As a dog walker, I have a map with designated trails that I know I can take dogs on that are from busy streets and people. Additionally, when providing walks away from my trails, I have some techniques that will allow me to be safe and go on walks places that are pet friendly, such as near parks and residential areas. In addition to area awareness, I always make sure I have poop bags, treats, water, and paw wipes for the pets. This ensure that all the needs of the pets can be taken care of. I also live a good set of guidelines and rules. All the provided rules for each individual pet will be followed as exactly as I can.

“Paola was clear, concise, and professional in all her communications with us. She followed our instructions carefully and took excellent care of our dogs. We would definitely book her again!”


“Another great walk! Amy and Paul have come over to walk Opie several times now and they’re always on time and follow all instructions. They are a huge help when I’m away at work all day”


“Ashley is amazing with my rambunctious Frenchie, Jax. Not only did she walk him as I requested, she took the time to give me helpful tips on curbing his not so pleasant behaviors. I absolutely, and very highly, recommend Ashley and can’t wait to work with her again!!!”


About: My kids and I love taking care of dogs and we'd love to help you when you're away from them. We have a fully fenced in home and plenty of space to let your pet spread out. We have been dog sitting off and on for many years now and welcome you in our home. I'm currently working part-time from home so I have plenty of time to care for your pets. My kids are home with me throughout the summer so we will all enjoy spending time and loving your pets Fully fenced in yard (front and back) great nearby parks and outdoor areas for fun and exercise. The yard does have a nice shady area if the summer sun gets too be too much. Large finished and furnished basement for lounging too.

“Leroy was so good with my boy even when he would pull his leash out of excitement and just handled him really well. He listened to all download. I gave him about Ranger and put me at ease immediately. I was out of town for work so he picked my boy up from my parents and ended up chatting with them. Also just showing what an overall friendly and helpful person he is I would recommend him to others and my Boy being a lab is strong and he handled him really well.”


About: I’ll take the best care of your pet as I possibly can! I have taken care of many different dogs and cats for over 10 years, ranging from 6week olds to 14 year olds. I grew up with pets in my house and have always had them close with me so your pup will be in great hands. I have experience walking multiple dogs at a time and keeping dogs overnight at my house for up to several weeks. I currently have one small long haired chihuahua which is 12 years old and gets along with other dogs. Your pup will be treated like family the same way I’d like for my dog to be treated when she is away. I provide daily updates with pictures and videos. Along with how their day went and the activities that we did! I currently work from home full time and will be generally home all day to stay with the pups! Please include the estimated drop off and pick up times. I enjoy taking the dogs on walks to the park and running if your dog is up for it. I make sure the pups get as many potty breaks as needed and as much play time during their stay. I ask you provide the following items during their stay to make your pup as comfortable as possible: 1. Food with instructions on amounts/times 2. Leash and collar/harness 3. Comfort items if needed (toys, beds, crate)

About: Hey there! Looking for a responsible, fun and loving dog/cat sitter/walker?? Then I am your gal! I've been dog/cat sitting for mainly family and friends for over a decade now so I decided to take the Rover leap. I am flexible and easy going so if your dog or cat is high maintenance or has specific needs, I can handle that with no problem. I love taking them on walks, hikes and to any kind of dog friendly environment. Your animal will be my best friend! SO pick me, choose me! I look forward to it! My weekends are open and weekdays I am available anytime after 4pm until 10pm but I am flexible. I can work around schedules on an as need basis. I prefer caring for you pet(s) at your residence because I have two cats at home and live in a basement apartment. There are also two dogs and a cat living above me so it is not ideal for me to care of animals at my residence unfortunately.

Sarah D.
“My two dogs are not only my pets but they are my FAMILY. What I appreciate most about Sarah is not just her obvious love for animals (my pups fell for her immediately) but her professional approach. Pet sitting is not Sarah’s side job – it’s what she loves and it’s what she does for her livelihood. She is extremely good at it: so good, in fact, when we are in the same room with family and friends' dogs, they tend to ignore me and go straight for her. She is the DOG WHISPERER. I have recommended Sarah for dog sitting to my friends and colleagues, and will continue to do so.”
