“Ben’s years of experience and knowledge are immediately clear to anyone who meets him & his dog, Geordi. Ben was extremely gentle with our 80 lb Newfoundland puppy, Mambo. Mambo can be hard to handle, but Ben expertly guided him and didn’t let him run amok. Mambo came home happy & tired from their walk - a busy pet parent’s dream!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since childhood, whether my own, or for friends, family, and neighbors. I will treat your sweet dog or cat as my own. I can go on long or short walks, can administer medications, can play or provide sweet loving attention to your fur babies. I work part-time, so I’m happy to be at your home or taking care of your dog/cat before 9 and after 5 pm on Tuesdays-Thursdays. The other days of the week/weekend I can be there as often as you’d like, for as long as you’d like. I can walk dogs for as long as you need, we can work out a schedule that works best. My yard is partially fenced, so I fully intend to watch your dog during outdoor time if you are not one to use a lead. My house is 3-stories so perfect for any size animal. At the client’s home, I will follow your instructions as close as possible, and can provide a safe and loving presence. The only caveat is my house has 2 cats, so we must be sure the the visiting dog is safe with cats.
About: I have had a family dogs for years, I have watched my friends dogs for about 2 years now! I have watched a few cats in my time as well! I work from home so being around your pet and taking care of them is easy for me! Having pets near me makes my work day better! I have a fenced in yard and live near a dog park! I myself go on multiple walks a day and love to have a pet keeping me company!
About: I've lived with animals pretty much my entire life. I've had two dogs, two rats, a mouse, a ferret, and seven cats total. I often pet sit my friends and families dogs and cats and even guinea pigs and geckos. So while I don't have any trained professional experience in pet care, I do have an abundance of personal experience. I absolutely adore animals so I will do my best to treat yours with as much care as I have. This is my full time job so I will be available for all of my listed services every day of the week from 8 am - 10 pm preferably in day light hours. I am very flexible with my hours so I can prioritize your schedule. While walking your pet I will remain vigilant to ensure its safety. I will follow any rules/instructions given to me such as how/if to interact with other people/animals.
About: Hi! My name is Colette, but my friends call me Mouse and I love pets! I've been taking care of friends and families pets for about two years now. I'm in college and looking to make some extra cash. I work around my class schedule, that is different day today. I'm able to watch or check in on pets throughout the day and night, and all weekends. I'm in school for theater so sometimes I do go through tech weeks that let me out very late at night, but when that happens, I'm still willing to check in on any pets! I believe in making sure your pets are fully safe and loved while you are away! I have no problem asking about what exactly is the regular routine of your pet to make sure they are the safest and most comfortable they can be without you.
“Danielle was easy to communicate with, got along great with the dogs, and went above and beyond to give them exercise on a stormy day by coming back by once the rain had stopped to let them out again. I will definitely hire her more and highly recommend her.”
“J.M. was great with my dog Grits. They came on time, gave a thorough report, and sent some cute proof of life pictures that brightened up my day at work. Thank you J.M.!”
About: I’ve been taking care of animals for over 10 years, and I’ve always been the “animal aunt” that friends, family, and neighbors rely on. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, small animals, and even some shy or nervous pets, and I love learning each pet’s personality and what makes them feel safe and happy. I’m gentle, calm, and patient, which helps animals warm up quickly. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, litter box and cage cleaning, enrichment activities, and giving plenty of affection (or respectful space if your pet prefers that!). I’m also experienced with senior pets and those who need a slower, more thoughtful pace of care. Whether you need someone to stick to a strict feeding schedule or just keep your dog company while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and entertained. Expect lots of updates, happy tails, and peace of mind while you’re gone! I currently work part-time, so I have a very flexible schedule for pet care. I’m able to do drop-ins, walks, and house sitting during weekdays and weekends. I make sure to plan my day around the pets I’m caring for so they get consistent attention, routine, and playtime. Your pet won’t be rushed or squeezed in — I give each animal the time and presence they deserve. Your pet’s comfort and safety are always my first priority. I take time to understand their routine, personality, and any special needs before starting care. I’m respectful of your home and very detail-oriented when it comes to feeding instructions, medications, or behavior notes. Whether your pet is shy, energetic, or somewhere in between, I always move at their pace and create a calm, reassuring environment. I stay in touch with updates and photos so you always know how they’re doing.
About: I’ve worked at a dog and cat boarding and daycare center for over three years, and have years of experience cat sitting for my neighbor. I’ve worked both in the kennel and daycare and have experience in different areas of animal care. As a recent graduate, I have more free time! I am a recent college graduate who works part time at a kennel. I am always able to make time to care for pets and adapt my schedule! I cater to the needs of the animal and owner. With having experience with different needs of an animal at my boarding and daycare job, I have an understanding of how to reach those needs.
“Great experience with Mario! He reliable, communicative, and compassionate about the care of animals. I always get great updates and photos, and it’s clear my dog is happy and comfortable with him. Mario had been a huge help with walks and letting my puppy out during the day while I’m at work. Highly recommend!”
“Iana was the perfect dog walker for my dog while I was out if town. She was very thoughtful and send me daily updates and pictures. I know Fiona is going to miss seeing her daily. I will definitely try to schedule with her again in the future and highly recommend her.”
“I cannot say enough about Gabriella. She is incredibly professional and has such amazing, positive energy. We have two beagles, and from the very first meet and great, they felt completely comfortable and excited around her. Which says a lot! It is truly clear that she knows how to connect with dogs. Every walk last week seems to have gone smooth, reliable, and based by the pictures I received, full of happy tail wags. I feel totally at ease knowing my pups are in such great hands. Highly recommended.”
About: I have been cat sitting and caring for my family and friends' cats for over two decades. I was raised with dogs and cats and adore them both! I volunteer at a local cat rescue/lounge. Before that, I volunteered for several local cat/dog rescues. I also foster cats until they find they forever homes. Loving and taking care of cats and dogs, especially those in need, is my one true passion in life. *"BONUS: I make my own cat wands! I will gift one to your babies. Pet sitting is my full-time job. I absolutely love what I do and consider myself lucky to have such a fantastic job! I have a very flexible schedule. I can accommodate two visits a day, last minute drop-in visits and overnight visits. I will spoil your cat(s) or dogs with the same love, care and attention I give my own. Let me give you peace of mind while you’re away, knowing your pets are in capable, reliable and loving hands.
“Shannon has been walking my pup for two weeks now and has been wonderful! The weather has been freezing and snowy and yet she has always showed up on time and has established a great relationship with my dog. She does a super job knowing when it’s too cold (or my dog just isn’t in the mood) to go for an extended walk and will just play with him inside a bit longer instead. Highly recommended!”
About: Hi there! I’m Jacqui and I absolutely love spending time with dogs :) I am originally from Texas where I grew up taking care of lots of animals, including at one point eight dogs! I am very comfortable and familiar with caring for dogs of all ages and sizes, and I would love to help care for your best friend. I’m currently a student in school however have some open time on my tuesdays and thursdays for walks, and i’m available on weekends for walks, boarding, house sitting, or drop ins. Message me and we can see if our schedules align. I live in a pet friendly apartment complex and do not have any limitations to where your pet can be in my own personal apartment. Your pet would be able to roam free in the safety of my apartment where I would consistently be near to watch over them. We have a small grassy potty area outside our building for breaks and we could definitely go for walks down to point state park for some extra space to play and roam if that sounds alright to you. I will also follow any regulations you may have for your pet.
“Super sweet person! Our golden, Ellie, seemed to really enjoy spending time with Jackie on her walk and she was able to use her commands and had control of her but was still very friendly and caring. I would definitely recommend Jackie.”
Central Northside dog parents share their Rover experiences
Michaela is very professional and great at communicating. She was in touch promptly and very accommodating. She took such good care of Crispy. She’s willing to do extra long walks which my puppy needs. She’s a natural with dogs as well and very gentle and affectionate. Crispy and I can’t wait to book her again!
Great experience with Mario! He reliable, communicative, and compassionate about the care of animals. I always get great updates and photos, and it’s clear my dog is happy and comfortable with him. Mario had been a huge help with walks and letting my puppy out during the day while I’m at work. Highly recommend!
I can’t say enough great things about Iana! She has been an incredible dog walker for my dog, Ellie. From the very beginning, Iana has been reliable, communicative, and clearly cares so much about the dogs she works with. Ellie always comes home so happy after her walks, and it’s obvious she’s been well cared for. Knowing Ellie is in such good hands gives me complete peace of mind. Iana always keeps me updated and is so consistent, which means a lot to me. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, dependable, and truly wonderful with dogs, I highly recommend Iana!
Sarah is amazing!! She genuinely cares about your dog’s well being and sends updates after each walk. Which as a helicopter dog mom, I absolutely love. I had only ever trusted family to watch my dog Nash, so handing him off to someone new was a big deal for me. Sarah made it easy by meeting Nash before his first walk, and I immediately felt comfortable with him in her care. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and communicative, I 1000% recommend Sarah!
Richard walked our two dogs for the first time recently and the experience exceeded my expectations. Both are extra large dogs--80 and 130 pounds. Not easy customers (both react to deer, dogs, etc.), but he managed them very capably. He was very knowledgeable, timely, and attuned to the dogs needs, as well as agreeable to work with. Will definitely book him again.
Anna is wonderful! She’s easy to communicate with and my elderly dog pepper feels at ease with her. It was easy to talk with her about peppers various needs and she did not hesitate to ask clarifying questions and make sure she was prepared. Would highly recommend! Thank you!
