“Cynthia was amazing! She was prompt in taking our dog for a walk everyday while we were away. Cynthia sent pics of our dog each time and kept in touch with us, which was reassuring. We would highly recommend Cynthia and would definitely use her next time.”
“Cheryl is responsive and communicative. She let me know a month in advance for a few days she would be unavailable. Ajax also loves going on walks with Cheryl! Cheryl gets Ajax lots of exercise which is great!”
“DJ is the absolute best!!!! She is so kind and gentle with the dogs - you can tell that she truly cares about them. She is also communicative and sends great updates. Highly recommend DJ.”
“We met Nicole for the first time. She's a wonderful young woman, full of positive energy and joy. Our dog Sasha immediately liked and trusted her. It's clear that Nicole has a huge heart for animals. We offered Nicole a full-year schedule right away. ~ Tom”
“Elliot just started walking Buddy and I can’t say enough nice things. Elliot is very responsible, shares information about their time together and Buddy liked Elliot from the jump!”
About: I have always owned dogs, and I couldn’t not imagine my life without animals. I’ve been taking care of all sorts of pets, starting around when I was 12 years old. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, fish, and even rabbits! I’d be honored to take care of your beloved animals as if they were my own. This includes kittens, puppies, and senior care. I’m a college student home for the summer with plenty of free time—perfect for long walks, playtime, and lots of love. I am quite flexible when it comes to scheduling and am open to longer hours. My service at the moment would be me caring for your pets in your home. Of course, I will treat your space with the same respect as I would my own. I will maintain your pet’s routine, keep things clean, and provide updates and pictures of your cutie.
“Nakye was great with Michelle- he was able to meet Michelle the day before to get acquainted with her and she loved him! He helped me out a ton by walking her while I was at a work event all day- I look forward to having him help out again.”
“Kevin has been walking Sandi once a day for just over a week and it’s going well for us and Sandi. He’s working hard to figure out her quirks and is super kind and patient with our smart and stubborn love bug. He’s been fantastic communicating with us about any questions or timing issues! I highly recommend Kevin for your dogs!”
About: I have experience caring for dogs of different ages, from energetic younger dogs to elderly dogs who need extra patience and attention. I have cared for my own dog, which has taught me how important it is to be responsible, gentle, and attentive to each pet’s needs. I have also helped care for my neighbors’ dogs, including both senior dogs and younger dogs, by making sure they are fed, walked, comfortable, and given plenty of love and attention. I understand that every dog has its own personality and routine, and I always do my best to make pets feel safe, happy, and cared for while their owners are away. I currently work on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but the rest of the week I am usually at home working or studying remotely. This gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide pets with plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and care throughout the day. I am also especially available on weekends, which is a great option for pet parents who need to board their dog at my apartment. I live in a pet-friendly one-bedroom apartment where pets can feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I make sure to follow each pet’s usual routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions from their owner. I also give pets plenty of attention, love, and a calm environment so they feel at home. My apartment is in a great area with plenty of parks and trails nearby, making it easy to take dogs on walks, get fresh air, and enjoy outdoor time. I always prioritize each pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness while they are staying with me.
About: About me: After growing up with dogs, I became a dog mom in 2020 (shout out pandemic puppy parents) to a now 6 year old rescue pup from Puerto Rico! I love to be able to give my friends and family peace of mind when traveling, working late, shuffling schedules and more. For boarding requests, I do also have a 3 year old cat- she is indifferent with dogs but we ask that all overnight stays confirm a meet and greet to ensure comfort/safety of all pets prior to boarding. Thank you! Schedule: I’m a teacher who will be home for summer break so as long as my calendar is open on Rover, I am available! Full availability: June 19-August 16th. Experience: I have experience with small to large dogs, special diets, giving medication, post-surgery care, cats, and more. I treat all animals as if they were my own and will go above and beyond to make sure their needs are met. If your dog needs company on a walk, my pup is also extremely docile and has been known to calm nervous dogs or puppies when strolling around the city. Let's get strolling! ** Boarding requests: meet & greets required prior to overnight stays to ensure your dog is comfortable with my dog & cat, who are both docile, well-adjusted to other dogs. Thank you! Since I am home reliably at 4:30 each day, I am typically always available to help out for others who may get stuck late at the office, work happy hour runs late, need to run errands, or get dinner with a friend, any time between 5-10pm :) I am very cognizant of leash manners and appropriate opportunities to socialize dogs when on walks. For home check-in's, I'm willing to feed and provide any enrichment activities for your pups to make sure they are busy and/or relaxed while they wait for you to come home!
“Larissa has been great so far with our puppy Moose. She has also been able to adapt very well to our changing schedule without ever having an issue. We appreciate how much she cares for Moose and look forward to continuing utilizing her services!”

Justin was wonderful! He sent check-in each time he walked and fed our dog Juni, and he clearly enjoyed spending time with her. We were happy to know he’s walked a few of our neighbors’ dogs too, so he was very comfortable with the neighborhood. I will definitely be hiring him again!
Daria is a wonderful walker. Whatever the weather brings, rain, shine, or heat, she shows up with energy and genuine love for our Rosie. Her narratives about the walks anre excellent and very entertaining. I have great confidence in Daria and recommend her highly.
Kyra is super friendly and interactive with my pup. I appreciated her taking the time to do a meet and greet before scheduling a booking (which we’ve booked more since then), and she was very good at asking questions to make sure Cora would be cared for properly as well as communicating effectively regarding her schedule. Kyra is trustworthy, reliable, personable, and wonderful with Cora. So glad I found her!
