“Kate was fabulous with my dog and my roommate's dog from the very beginning! My girl is usually loud and unfriendly with strangers but warmed up to Kate almost immediately. Everything about the experience was wonderful and I'd absolutely recommend Kate.”

“Kade was SO great with Kelso! This was my first time using Rover and I felt so much better knowing my pup was in good hands. Kade is very communicative, sent lots of pics, and went above and beyond - taking a package in and making sure my pup Kelso has enough water. Definitely recommend!!”


“Kaylee was excellent :) Awesome, proactive, and clear communication. I knew my anxious old girl Lacey was in good hands, and she had a great outing while I was away all day on a trip. Lacey has happy when I returned. I would absolutely hire Kaylee again in a heartbeat!”


“Thank you, Caitlyn!!! We appreciate you so much!”


“It was a great help to us and Cloby was happy with her. They connected from the first moment and Cloby felt confident with her.”


“Kristen was a life saver! I pulled a back muscle this morning and could hardly walk. Kristen was able to fit me in and make sure my pup got a good walk.”


“Nevaeh was available and prompt! We were so happy to book with her and will be booking again :)”


About: I grew up feeding both my mastiff mix Lilly and cat Kitty and walking Lilly daily. In college, I took care of a husky-mix, walking and feeding him daily. I’m currently working part-time so my schedule is pretty flexible! I am available for walks and feedings and can come check on your pet any time. I have experience with crate-training and know and will always strive to respect your personal house rules. I understand each and every pet parent has their own special relationship with their pets and I want to honor that as best as I can.

“I forgot to book my walks for the week and I work 12 hour shifts, so it is imperative that my tiny guy ( who refuses to go inside on puppy pads) be taken out. Bridgette saved the day, even with such short notice. My dog also loves her. I definitely recommend her to anyone.”


About: I have taken care of dogs from every breed and size for the past 5 years. I am an experienced, professional dog walker and sitter. I have plenty of experience with dogs with different personalities. I currently work part-time on Monday through Wednesday evenings, so I am available on Monday - Wednesday evenings as well as Thursdays - Sundays all day. I care for the pets in my/my client's home with diligence, respect, and compassion. I speak with the owner in advance to talk to them about their needs and expectations, make sure my house is clean and prepared for the dog's visit, then I diligently look after the dog and send updates to the owner.

“Lila was great! I appreciated her flexibility with our schedule. Our tour of campus ended late and she was very gracious about being with Lilly until we got back. Our dog enjoyed her time with her and she took great care of her. Thank you Lila!”


About: I have had animals my entire life. I currently have 2 cats of my own; Binx and Luci. I have 10+ years of dog and cat sitting experience. I am an animal lover and want to take care of your pets so you won’t have to worry! My own cat has medical issues so I am comfortable giving oral medications to pets. I can also do house sitting things like watering plants, getting the mail, etc… I would love to care for your pets! **I am a teacher and have open availability in June and July but my schedule will change come August so I cannot do mid day drops in long term!** I am a teacher and have my summers and breaks off and would love to spend them taking care of your pets! I can also intermittently dog walk or pet sit during the school year. I am incredibly responsible and respectful. I am also a huge animal lover and know how to care for animals. I have a high standard for who takes care of my pets and I promise to deliver the same level of care I would expect for my own pets!


“Kelly was great!!”


“Emmalee has taken the time to get to know our dog and he has taken to her very quickly and he is a very sensitive soul so that speaks volumes! Really happy and relaxed knowing she is caring for him, would definitely recommend.”


About: I grew up around all sorts of different dogs, and I love to play with them. Whether it's a walk, a brushing, or just want me to hang out with them, I'm the girl for you! I will say that I am quite small myself so if your dog is 70+ lbs and/or strong then you may be better finding a different sitter 😅 I am not very strong haha I'm currently between jobs so this allows me to be free basically whenever you need me to be! Plus, this allows me to better create a schedule around your needs :) I will do whatever is needed of me. If you need me for house sitting, I have my own activities to keep me occupied, so no worries about me being nosy :)

“Elizabeth was great. She did a meet and greet with my dog prior to the first walk. She was professional, great with communication, and she was very patient with Riley. I would definitely recommend her.”


“Tess was very quick to jump onboard with my dog. She treated her like a true queen and ensured communication was clear. Thank you so much Tess :)”


“Avery is very sweet and attentive to Goldie. She can over early in the first walk to sit and slow Goldie to get comfortable with her. Loved all the photos and feedback about my dog.”

Carillon dog parents share their Rover experiences
I am very happy with her. She did a wonderful job walking my Joey. She is available whenever I need her. My pup came back so happy and tired. She is a very sweet person and I am glad to have her.

Kristen was a life saver! I pulled a back muscle this morning and could hardly walk. Kristen was able to fit me in and make sure my pup got a good walk.

Dani did an excellent job with my doggies! She really cares and really listens to what you ask for. She’s been very gentle and considerate of them (and of me). I hope to work with her anytime we need someone to help out! Thank you.

Max is my dog’s favorite! I started a new job that requires a much longer commute, so he’s been walking Junie every week day for a couple of weeks now. He is very responsive, arrives on time, sends pictures, and is very patient with my neurotic dog. She loves Max! I highly recommend him!

I highly recommend Tess as an all around pet visitor! She showed a real care for them, and also for how I would like things done. She’s smart, friendly, timely and careful with my pets. Hope to see you again, thank you!

Lilly is a dream - very reliable, comes to walk in any condition, and my reactive dog LOVES her. Would highly recommend her to anyone who needs a walker or sitter for bug and small dogs!!

Chloe is an excellent dog walker. She is extremely reliable and steps up when she was confronted with a difficult situation. The key to my apartment was not working so she went to the management office and worked with them to get new batteries installed in the door lock. I would highly recommend her.

Cindy was responsible and caring for our dog. She worked with us to support changes in the schedule and communicated clearly when this came up. She made appropriate decisions when hot weather became an issue. Highly recommend Cindy!

Nicholas was able to accommodate a last minute request for a late evening dog walk, even finding the time to come and do a meet and greet prior to the booking. He was responsive and reassured us that Albus would be in great hands. I enjoyed reading Albus’ report card too! I would definitely recommend Nicholas for your dog walking needs, and I’m hoping to use his services again in the future. Thanks for taking great care of my boy.

Anna is amazing! Great communication and obviously a natural talent with dogs. My two kiddos enjoyed her care and I would recommend her to anyone!

Mariah was communicative, great with our doggies, and super nice! We will definitely be using her again in the future. Definitely recommend if you are in need of dog walking services!

Thank you for being responsive, professional, and taking great care of my buddy. Excellent dog walker!

Janie is not just a sitter but a life saver as well! Thank you for humility talent and kindness! See ya soon!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Amazing! I can’t say enough good things about Alexandria! They have been a total lifesaver for me and a true best friend to my dog. Always punctual, professional, and kind, they treat my pup like their own. I get updates and pictures from every walk, and it’s obvious how much they care. My dog gets so excited every time they show up—it’s clear they’ve built a special bond. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, dependable, and genuinely passionate about animals, this is the one. Highly recommend!

Sun is a great dog mom. I’ve used her several times to watch and walk my dog Nymeria. And she has done an excellent and great job. If you’re looking for someone who will take care of your dog just as much as you would or even more, Sun is the right person because not only does she care she treats every dog like they’re her own.

Sophie was great with my dog and was super nice with her when she was scared to go outside due to the stormy weather. She sends pictures and updates during each walk so you know your dog is being well taken care of. Definitely recommend Sophie!

Mary was the best! Treating my baby with so much care and provided detailed updates as well. Grateful for her help. And my pup really loved her!

Grace is tip-top! She always arrives on time and now the Noopster is excited every time she comes. Monday she even walked her in the rain. We've extended her until the end of June, and maybe longer!

Cat is fantastic! I honestly cannot say enough about how well she takes care of my fur babies. She goes above and beyond to accommodate my busy schedule, she tries very hard to be flexible to meet the clients needs and she genuinely cares about your babies as much as you do! I highly recommend her to anyone and I don’t trust many with my pets.
