“Amber goes so far above and beyond for my cat and dog. Oliver and Kaia get so much love and attention from her, and I’m beyond grateful for all the photos and detailed notes. There’s no one better than Amber!!”

“Jenn was super friendly, reliable and most of all my dogs loved her. I loved getting updates through the app and seeing how happy they looked! She always came with treats and had great communication skills. Thank you so much!”
“Valerie was incredible! I felt so comfortable leaving my animals with her. She is very easy to work with. We will definitely be using her in the future. She is truly a wonderful human and animal lover.”

“I could not have asked for a better walker than Kyle. Not only did he communicate super well and send me the cutest photos, but when I got home there was a beautiful, handmade portrait of my beautiful boy.”


“Katie is amazing!! She handled my pups with care and leaves detailed reviews and good pics. She took them for good walks the past two days and gave them snacks afterwards. 10/10 would recommend her!”

“I had a fantastic experience with Karen. She is friendly and calm with my nervous dog Luna, which made a huge difference for her first walk with a new person. I really appreciated how Karen took the time to ask thoughtful questions about Luna's routine, quirks, and comfort level before heading out. It was clear Karen genuinely cares about making the walk a positive experience. Highly recommend!”

About: Having multiple pets has been a part of my entire life, from the pets I had with my family to my own now. My first job ever was a professional care-taker at a boarding shelter for dogs. Now I walk and care for dogs part-time. My primary availability is during the week, with some weekend availability with enough advance. I work from home and am very flexible to accommodate changing schedules. I am comfortable crating your dog, taking them for walks, playing with them, providing basic care or anything else that you would like me to do for them.
About: I've had pets all my life, there's not a moment in my life where I never had a pet. I love animals and having the opportunity to make them happy makes me happy. I have 3 dogs of different sizes and personalities and one cat who loves being loved. Everyday I feed my pets and walk my dogs ensuring they get as much activity as possible. I like to go over the pet's care routine laid out by the owners making sure to keep detailed notes. I walk the dogs whether it be a particular length of time or desired route.
About: Hi, I’m Maria! I’ve always been an animal lover and treat every pet like they’re my own. I have two cats myself (who I’m totally obsessed with), so I understand how important it is to leave your pets in good hands. Whether I’m going for a walk with your pup or keeping your cat company while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for. I pay attention to the little things—every pet has their own personality, and I love getting to know what makes them feel comfortable and happy. Caring for cats is a daily routine for me, as I’m the proud owner of two feline companions. I delight in pampering them with treats and expressing my affection through play whenever there are toys at hand. I have two cats of my own who love being in my company, and I’ve frequently cared for my friends’ pets when they’re away. They affectionately refer to me as their pets’ honorary aunt.
About: I've fostered and taken care of reactive dogs as well as dogs with medical needs. I'm experienced in administering insulin and caring for senior dogs. I have a flexible work schedule and am happy to care for any pets on the weekends. On the weekdays, my schedule greatly varies so it would be best to directly contact me with inquiries. I offer house sitting and dog walking services. If your fur baby gets along with mine, I'm more than happy to care for them in my apartment. I have a balcony where my cat loves to watch the cars go by and also have access to a fenced in play area for dogs to run around in.

About: I love all animals. I lost my bull mastif/lab mix, Honey Bear, in February 2018. She was 12 1/2 yo. As well as my tabby, Eli, who was 19y/o, in March 2020. I am not ready for a new pupor kitten, so I thought this would provide an avenue to express my love for animals as well as help others. One of my favorites is dog walking. Because I work from home I am able to invest more outdoor activities for your furbabies. I do not have a fenced yard, however I am close to areas that can accomodate. I am very attentive and experienced to handling larger dog breeds and cats. If you are looking for someome that will love your pets as her own, please contact me. I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you in advance for your consideration!
About: I have taken care of many different types of dogs since I started dogsitting at a young age. I have had the opportunity to dogsit french bulldogs, labradors, golden retrievers, doodles of all kinds, and beagles! I am excited to have the opportunity to take care of your furry family members and help you out!! I work from home so I have a flexible schedule that allows me to leave and take walks when needed. I also wake up early in the morning so I am happy to take your pups on their morning walk if need be! I like starting my morning early anyways, so it's a plus if I get to add a furry friend to it as well!! I am an attentive caretaker due to my work-from-home job. It allows me the flexibility to drop in on your pets, take them for walks to the park and give them a lot of love.
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was a little girl. I understand each dog has their own unique personality and I have the patience to learn and work with them. Food, walks, and playtime can be the highlight of a dog's day so to be able to be the one to provide that is awesome. Having 2 dogs of my own, pet care is a regular daily thing. I have a flexible work from home schedule, so I can fit in appointments whenever, even last minute! My dogs get walked twice a day. We have a fenced yard so when they have extra energy to get out I'm able to let them run. I will follow the guidelines set out by the client for how their dog's needs are best met.
“Jada is FANTASTIC! I'm working night shifts as a medical student on an away rotation and was so nervous about leaving my dog overnight alone. Jada offered to come do a meet and greet the day before. She arrived promptly and my dog loved her. She came for an hour every night to walk him and hang out with him. One night I forgot to feed him and she gave him his dinner. She took lots of pictures and videos which I LOVE. Can't say enough wonderful things about her!”

About: I am an art teacher full-time during the school year. I am available for weekend house sitting starting on Fridays when I get off. I am open to doing house sitting during the week as well, as long as you are okay with your pet being alone while I am at work. Message me so we can work out details! I’ve had my own cats for 8 years. However, I am a huge dog lover too! I have lived with many dogs through roommates and developed special bonds with many of them. I would be entrusted to care for them if a roommate was away. I love sending pics of your fur babies to you while I take care of them! I am a teacher. So, summertime is extremely flexible, and, sometimes, wide open! I can make a lot work in the summer to fit your pet’s needs. Since I have 2 cats, I am looking to mostly take care of your pets in your home. I am all about comfort for my own pets, and make that the priority for your pets in your home!
“Pam arrived in time and Ralphie instantly loved her. Pam’s personality is awesome and she really knows how to make the pet feel comfortable. She took her time getting to know Ralphie and seemed to really enjoy walking with him. Ralphie seems to have had a great time and I think he really likes Pam.”

About: I’ve had all kinds of pets, including dogs, cats, lizards, hamsters, and more. I’m not allowed to have any pets where I live now, so I have endless patience for everyone else’s pets. I miss having animals in my life so I’m grateful for the chance to keep your pets happy while you’re away! My schedule is very flexible. I work from home so I can go to clients’ homes and stay with pets for a couple hours or stop by a few times a day. I’m also available most weekends. I’m unable to care for pets in my home but at clients’ homes I plan to follow all their rules and spend as much time playing outside with dogs and playing inside with other animals as possible.
Avondale dog parents share their Rover experiences
Pam is amazing and trustworthy. I used her because I already knew her and knew she was amazing, and was not disappointed. She communicated well, my dog loved her and she made sure my dog, who is a new rescue known for getting loose previously, was safe, secure and well taken care of. 100% recommend Pam. She is respectful, kind and she is calm and confident with dogs. 😊

I hired Jess to walk my two dogs, and she was wonderful! She even made the effort to come meet them ahead of time when my husband was home, which I really appreciated. The pups took to her right away. She showed up on time for both walks, sent photos, and made sure they had plenty of water afterward. Her communication was excellent throughout the entire process. I would definitely hire her again!

Teddy is wonderful with my pup, Lucy. She always gets so excited to see him and really enjoys their walks and playing fetch. Teddy is super punctual, always on time and prepared with leashes and bags. I know Lucy is in good hands when they go on their adventures.
