“Briana is so GREAT with our two dogs. She truly cares for Ody and Billie Jean like they are her own. She has great availability, which works amazingly for our hectic schedules. She is truly the best!!”
“I have had Ashley come again to take care of my sweet Sable. She was wonderful at communicating with me about her! Sable was recently diagnosed with cancer and Ashley has been so sweet in giving her extra care. Her communication is EXCELLENT which helps sooth is nervous momma!”
“Emily was my consistent dog walker before moving after college. She is responsible, flexible, and kind. I’m so glad I found her on rover and I really enjoyed working with her! I would highly recommend her!”
“Carol was great. On time every day and gave great updates. It was super hot too and she made sure my dogs got outside to do their business and explore. I highly recommend her.”
“Allison was excellent with our dog, Rosie. I was worried about separation anxiety, as she is older and we had been home with her throughout the pandemic. We walk daily and she is very social with humans and needs interaction but doesn’t like other dogs. Allison came over early every morning for a week, took her for a long walk with playtime, and sent notifications and photos to us daily. She also handled daily allergy medicine and fed her too. We completely trusted Allison in our home; she came over for a meet-and-greet in advance and subsequently followed all instructions. I will definitely use her again!”
About: Hi! I’ve taken care of all types of animals, including cats. I give the upmost respect and love towards each animal I serve. Choose me! I’m currently looking for a new job so I have a lot of time on my hands to care for your pet! Play, eat, repeat! Depending on the comfort level of your animal, I can bring them home with me or come to your place to take care of them. I have a crate, an extra bedroom, and a lead to go outside. Any other needs will need to be discussed.
About: I am currently a cat mom of 3. Chloe, Colby, and Clarabelle. I have had 20+ years experience with cats, dogs, and other small animals. I have grown up with animals my whole life including cats, dogs, rabbits, and other small animals. I'm currently a teacher working remotely and during my breaks before and after classes I would love to care for your pets. I'm available to do check ins and walks. I would also consider doing an overnight depending on my availability. I will provide updates and photos when requested by the owner and will provide quality care to your pet while you are away. Please consider contacting me if you are in need of someone to look after your pet. I would love to meet your furry family members.
“This is second time Ive used Sarah. An absolute pleasure to work with. This call was a last minute emergency and she was so happy she could help. My Zoe is 15 and is a little slower and double coated so I like to walk her in shade. Little special rituals Zoe and me do together she was kind to accommodate. Zoe loves her and waits on front bed for her. Its difficult to leave Zoe for trips away from her And now I have peace of mind knowing how gentle and generous Sarah is with Zoe when I have to be away. Sarah is a gem.”
About: I’ve been a dog walker and started a neighborhood business at the age of 10 and I have worked in animal animal hospital for 3 years and an animal shelter as well as a doggie day care :) I have my own family dog that I take care of and I have the availability to be available whenever. I also like to make sure I am scheduling everything that I need to do prior. While caring for my dog at home, I make sure to know when he needs to go to the bathroom. I make sure he’s fed. If I am in someone else’s home I make sure I allow the pets to feel safe and reward good behavior. I make sure he gets his medicine and we play, sleep, and cuddle.
