“Zachary was great. I've always uses my best friend to care for my pup, but she moved so I've been on the hunt for a good dog walker/sitter. Before finding Zachary I had a few negative experiences with others on Rover. Not with Zachary!! He was great and my very energetic boy loved him! I would def recommend Zachary to others looking for someone trustworthy, reliable, and great with dogs.”
“Extremely great experience. Our dog is always excited and happy when Siria arrives for a walk. Very professional at all times and takes care our dog extremely well! Highly recommend!!”
About: I have helped my mom run a pet sitting business in high shcool! I’ve been around animals my whole life from small to giant size. I will run and play ball with your dog and am not afraid to get slobbery! I have a great sense and understanding of animal behavior. Also due to my job and college degree in psychology I am experienced and knowledgeable in ABA training. So I would love to assist in training appropriate behaviors in a puppy or an older dog with behavioral issues so that I myself can grow and learn as well as your dog. Animals are my passion and joy in life and I believe they will love me just as much as I’ll love them! I’m currently a home maker so I will be home full time with your pet and available all times of day for walks and visits. I have a 3 year old and an infant that will accompany during visits and walks. They are very gentle and friendly with pets as we have had many animals in their life. I have a fenced in yard but we also going on daily family walks. We have two dogs who are very friendly and two cats who typically stay hidden during the day.
“Katherine was great. I had to make a two week dog walking session with only a days notice. Katherine jumped in and took care of my little doggo. She was a great choice.”
“I was very nervous leaving my puppy alone after 6 months of furlough. Elmer took the time to get to know her and gives her the attention she needs. I am gone for a large part of the day. When I come home she is happy and the house is in one piece.”
“Top of the charts, look no farther, this is your guy for any service he provides. We will 100% work with Alan again and will recommend him to our family/friends that could use his services. Alan is super professional, always on-time and did right by our dog. Alan walked our dog 2-3 times a week over a period of a few months. Over the months that passed, he was always flexible if needed on my end, was quick to respond to messages and is just a good person. Our dog can overheat pretty easy and one day while waiting for our boy to get back I saw Alan carrying him in his arms up the street. He didnt have to do what he did, but he forever indebted himself to us due to that act of profound kindness. Thank you my friend for helping take care of our boy, all the best to you!!”
About: I’ve had 15 years of experience in taking care of other people’s pets as well as having my own, I had a small business with my sister but we eventually stopped for her to pursue babysitting instead. I have worked with a variety of animals and have some basic knowledge from my previous job at petsmart, I know this site is for cats and dogs but I am also willing to do other animals as well. I do have some training in dog grooming from my job, but I am only comfortable with bathing and drying off. My best time for scheduling would be from 9 AM to 3 PM, anything else I really cannot fit into my schedule due to personal commitments. I suppose my best way to answer this is to love them. I love animals, and I know animals are not all the same. They need specific care and specific needs met, and every one of those looks different for each animal. One of the best things I can do as a pet sitter is to provide the care needed, and to show the attention needed as well. Instructions and expectations are set for a reason, and I am willing to follow any one of those to ensure your animals are taken care of to the best of my ability.
“Nick is great with my dog, Katie. He's dependable, great with my Katie and keeps me informed on how the walks go. Also, if there are any issues or concerns, he contacts me immediately.”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and helped my mom with pet sitting when I was just a kid! Since then, caring for pets has become second nature to me. I also volunteer at a local animal shelter and have been for over two years, where I have gained hands-on experience with dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities, including shy rescues, playful puppies, and senior pets who need a little extra love and patience. I truly treat every pet like family and always make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away or whenever you need! I am currently only working part time on the weekends, so I will be available on weekdays from 9AM to 10PM. I am very flexible and I can accommodate if needed! When I’m in your home, I always treat it with the same respect and care I would my own. I stick closely to your pet’s routine. I am very attentive to pet’s needs when it comes to both dog walking and pet sitting.
“Elizabeth is so incredible and we will be requesting her anytime our boy needs a walk. She is so quick to respond even when we are last minute on bookings and she has been so great at letting us know anytime our boy gets into anything at the house or even just how many squirrels they see on their walk. I highly highly recommend Elizabeth to anyone.”
“Amazing experience from the beginning! Suzanna was friendly, attentive and communicative. She was extremely patient with Tucker even when he didn’t want to walk and always made sure he was comfortable before leaving. Would absolutely recommend her to anyone and will be reaching out to her again for sure!”

From our very first meeting, she demonstrated a wonderful blend of professionalism and genuine warmth that immediately put us at ease, and that consistency has never wavered. Evelyn has been incredibly reliable and communicative during every single sitting. We always appreciate her daily updates and photos of all three of them – it's so reassuring to see them happy, relaxed, and well-cared for, no matter how long we're away. She consistently handles the different needs and personalities of Max, Roxy, and Mozzie beautifully, ensuring everyone feels comfortable and loved. It's clear she loves spending quality time with them, especially how she loves on Max and Roxy, and takes the extra time to have fun play sessions with them. She also gives Mozzie plenty of attention and cuddles, meticulously following all of our feeding schedules and administering medication. We've consistently returned home to happy and relaxed pets and a tidy house, which is always an added bonus. It's clear that Evelyn has a true passion for animals and treats them as if they were her own. We highly recommend Evelyn to anyone looking for a responsible, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter, especially for a multi-pet household. Her long-standing excellent service means we'll definitely keep rebooking!”
