About: Growing up, my family was like a mini zoo! We had a wide array of pets, including dogs, cats, parrots, hamsters, and even chinchillas. This rich and diverse environment nurtured my deep love and understanding of animals from a young age. I have fond memories of our parrot, Polly, mimicking our cat's meow (I think mostly for fun), and our chinchilla, Chichi, running around like a little fluffy whirlwind. As a child, I was the go-to pet sitter for my friends and neighbors. Whenever someone needed help with their furry or feathered friends, I was always ready to lend a hand. I remember one time, I ended up pet-sitting three cats, two dogs, and a parrot all at once! It was a circus, but I loved every moment of it. This experience taught me lessons about the different needs and behaviors of various animals, shaping me into the compassionate and knowledgeable pet sitter I am today. I talk with almost every pet I see, and sometimes I think I can understand them (psst... they’re great conversationalists!) As a student with most of my lessons online, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate time to your pets. My day is filled with virtual classes and study sessions, so I can easily integrate playtime, walks, and cuddle sessions with your furry friends into my routine so I can provide consistent, attentive care and ensure your pets get the love and attention they deserve throughout the day. In Your Home: • I stick to your pet’s regular schedule for feeding, walks, and playtime to keep their routine consistent • I keep you updated with regular check-ins and photos, so you know how your pet is doing • I maintain a cozy environment for your pet, providing them with plenty of love and attention and cleaning space after them in case of "emergencies" In My Home: •Your pet will enjoy a homey atmosphere, with lots of playtime and interaction in a safe and welcoming space • I tailor my care to match your pet’s needs and preferences, ensuring they feel at ease and happy • With my flexible schedule, I can accommodate your pet’s routine, including feeding, exercise, and downtime • I maintain high standards of cleanliness and ensure your pet’s health needs are met, including any medications or special care

“Everyone of our dogs get very excited when Katrina comes through the door. She truly does love on each one individually and takes notice of their quirky personalities. Looking forward to our continued relationship:)”


“Absolutely amazing !! 5 star treatment and care . We had kara dog walking our 1 year old and the amount of care and attention she received was next level . We recommend Kara for any services offered !!”

About: Passionate Dog Walker Ready to Give Your Furry Friends the Best Walks Ever. I am a dog lover and looking to start my journey here in Rover. I would love to get to know more about your pets.

She is attentive and updates me fully on her walks and the girls every single walk. The girls adore her and I could asked for me! Jennifer is super flexible which is important for me because my work schedule changes.”


“Lizzy is an absolute delight Emmy loved her time together Highly recommended”


About: I always loved being around the pups, I feel they are my stress busters. Whenever I'm with them I feel happier and always loved playing with them since my childhood. I also worked with agencies where I used to take them to walking or dog sitting and also I have taken care of my friend's dogs and took them walking and played with them in the park. I'm a student and I have plenty of time on the weekends and I'm also free on the weekends to play and walk your pups. I have a fenced backyard for the dogs to play if they need and I'll be with them to play and take care of them so that you can be stress free.

“Kind and caring. Lauren is also great with communication and never late. Always take the time to play with our boy Koda, walk and feed him. She also gives us great photos and updates! Would highly recommend Lauren for the care of your pets.”


About: I’ve been a dog lover since childhood and have always had pups in my life. My husband and I share our home with senior rescues. They come with sweet quirks, special needs, and lots of love. I’m experienced with giving medications, managing routines, and making every dog feel safe and happy. Whether your dog is young and bouncy or a seasoned snuggler, I’ll care for them like one of my own. I’m currently available full-time, which means I can offer flexible scheduling and dedicated attention to your pet’s needs. Whether it’s daily walks, extended stays, or last-minute bookings. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Whether they’re staying in my home or I’m caring for them in yours, I maintain a calm, secure environment and follow your routines closely. You can trust that your pet will be loved, respected, and well cared for every step of the way.

“Kat is awesome! Super personable, reliable, responsible, and great with our dog. I’d recommend her 100x times over to anyone who is looking for someone to walk, look after/care for their pets.”


“Hudson loved Candace! She was early for our appointment, polite and so natural with our husky! We have already rebooked her and highly recommend to others!”


About: I’ve spent years working with dogs of all breeds, backgrounds, and baggage—and I love them all. I'm not just a dog lover (though I absolutely am); I'm a certified professional dog trainer and behavior consultant who’s helped hundreds of families build better relationships with their dogs. What sets me apart? I understand why dogs do what they do. Whether it’s a bouncy puppy who needs to learn the ropes, a senior dog who needs gentle handling, or a quirky canine with some behavior baggage, I meet them with patience, kindness, and expert-level care. My drop-ins and walks are more than just potty breaks—they’re customized enrichment experiences that help your dog feel seen, heard, and supported. Got a dog who pulls? Shuts down? Can’t be left alone? I’ve got you. You won’t get “just a sitter”—you’ll get a savvy, certified sidekick who genuinely gets dogs and shows up with big heart, serious skills, and the best damn treats in town. Dogs are my full-time gig—and honestly, my whole personality at this point. I run My Girl Friday (dog behavior support with heart) and Be Your Dog’s Superhuman (where I teach humans how to level up for their dogs), so my weekdays are already jam-packed with canine magic. ✨🐶 That means walks and drop-ins get sprinkled in between client sessions, not crammed into a tight lunch break. If you're cool with a little schedule coordination, I’m all in. One important thing to note, because my house is full of my own furry family members, we'll need to discuss over-night stays. They aren't out of the realm of possibility, we'll just need to make sure that you and your dog's needs are met....and so are my dogs and cats. 😊 Flexible? Yes. Flaky? Never. 🙅♀️🐾 Fun? Always. When I step into your dog’s space, I treat it like sacred ground—because it is. This is their home, their safe place, and I act accordingly. Whether I’m popping in for a midday check-in or heading out for an adventure walk, I prioritize calm greetings, clear communication, and creating a stress-free vibe from start to finish. I follow your care instructions to the letter (yes, even the extra-weird ones—I’ve seen it all, I promise). Doors get double-checked, routines get respected, and your dog’s comfort comes first. Always. You’re trusting me with someone you love. I don’t take that lightly. But I do take it with a pocket full of treats and a heart full of love.

About: SAVE $20 for your first time booking with code JENNIM35805 I have grown up with dogs my entire life. I absolutely love spending time with various dogs. I have a dog myself and I have trained her since she was a puppy. I love going hiking and swimming with her. Your dog will feel loved and cared for with me :) I have open availability throughout the summer to be there for your fur babies. I am excited to spend time with your dog or cat and make sure they get whatever they may need. I have a cat and a dog myself so I know the ins and outs of taking care of them. I am open to helping your pet in whatever way may be necessary.

About: Hi! My name is Sarah and I am the lucky mom of two pups, Maya and Charlie! I love spending time with animals, and have been an animal lover since a child. Some kids have imaginary friends when they’re young, but my imaginary friends were always my childhood dog Rusty and my cat. I’ve cared for animals of all sizes, from German shepherds to Chihuahuas. One of the easiest ways of getting to know animals is just to be with them. They really love us unconditionally. Many times, my friends and family will ask me to take care of their animals when they're on vacation and I am always happy to do so. I offer a $15 discount towards your first booking! For every animal under my care, I do my best to show them as much love as possible. I also send plenty of photos mom and dad can see how much fun they are having. I have a fenced yard with plenty of running space, and the home is kept clean. I look forward to meeting your furbaby! My schedule is very open. I work part-time and my partner works from home so there is always someone to cuddle and play with your dog. Safety is my top priority. I make sure the home is clean from any debris that cam be eaten. When on walks, I make sure to monitor them so that they aren't eating any strange things. I have a fenced yard with plenty of running space for your dog. I can crate your dog if needed.

After a month of dog walking services by Andres, I couldn’t be more satisfied. My dog absolutely loves his walks. Andres is not only great with dogs - reliable and attentive- but also a genuinely kind and thoughtful person. It’s reassuring to know my dog is in such good hands. I highly recommend Andres to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring. Truly a fantastic experience all around!

Chungas had a a lot of fun on his walk. Sara and Rick did a great job tiring him out while looking out for him and making sure he’s hydrated on his walk. Will definitely be reaching out to them again!

Darien is wonderful to work with! She was always on time, very reliable, and Audrey loved her walks with her. She took extra care in the hot weather and we look forward to continuing working with Darien!

Thank you Aliyah! Coco and Emery loved their walks and apologize for being naughty when they saw another dog. Thank you for handling them so well!

Jen is reliable and great with my dog, who can be reactive with other dogs. I receive regular updates and photos, which gives me so much peace of mind while I’m away. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy and attentive to walk your dog, go with Jen. I highly recommend her!

Michelle is fantastic! Noodle absolutely loves her and enjoys their walks together. It was our first time using a dog walker and she made me feel comfortable right off the bat. 100% recommend using Michelle.

Nicole was able to walk my puppy Cleo on short notice. When I asked to extend the walk session from 30 minutes to an hour, she was also able to accommodate. Thanks again Nicole!

Candace is reliable regardless of the weather etc. and Artemis always comes home tired and happy. Highly recommend her for both dog and cat care.

I always have Ankit take care of Marshall when needed. Ankit has been doing a great job everytime and I couldn’t be more happier. Marshall too loves Ankit’s company. He is very prompt with updates and responses. I will continue to work with Ankit especially with Marshall’s reactivity, I don’t think anyone else other than Ankit could do such a great job

Pike loves his outings with Sara! He is always very excited to see her. You can tell Sara loves animals and takes great care of the pets in her care. I highly recommend Sara -she is punctual, consistent and very professional.

Our dog has separation anxiety but Ava has been amazing to make her feel comfortable while we are away and they’ve become friends now! Thanks Ava :)

We were so grateful to have Dave step in for a one-time walk with our dog, Rosie! They were incredibly responsive and accommodating to our last-minute request. We received a lovely update and a photo of Rosie enjoying their walk. HIghly recommend Dave for any dog walking needs.

I asked Izabela last minute and she graciously agreed. She was on time. Bruno connected with her immediately. He came home happy and satisfied. Thank you!

Kayla was an absolute lifesaver! My original sitter cancelled last minute before my week-long trip, and I was so fortunate to find her on short notice. From our initial contact, she was incredibly responsive, asked thoughtful and thorough questions about Lily and Daisy's care for when I was away, and showed genuine curiosity about them. She was also wonderfully understanding and respectful of my concerns about them interacting with other dogs due to past negative experiences. Throughout my week away, Kayla was fantastic with communication, providing daily updates and plenty of photos. It gave me such peace of mind knowing Lily and Daisy were in the best hands. Kayla has definitely earned her place as my go-to sitter and walker – I can't recommend her highly enough.

Carly provided excellent care in walking our dog. She was always on time, so kind, and provided excellent support. Highly recommend Carly!

Thank you Stephanie for taking such good care of Rio. He loves when you come take him on walks! Stephanie is punctual, checks in with updates and photos and is very reliable. Her flexible schedule works well for us and we appreciate that she is close by! She will take such great care of your pets!

Hanee is great. I'll definitely be using her again for walking my boy Timber. I love that she is very responsive and takes pictures of him. Timber has an absolute blast walking with her in the snow.

Emily is amazing! She is so good with my dog and is a reliable, dependable dog walker. We will always recommend Emily!
