“Katherine was fantastic. She was on time and asked all the necessary questions before to make sure my dogs were properly taken care of. Most importantly she is a trustworthy person to have inside your home.”
“So helpful. My dog was uncooperative yet Kathryn still did all she could to follow through with her service to the best of her ability. Very honest and communicative. I just feel bad my pup gave her a hard time.”
“Amanda was the first rover experience I had; she has a lot of dog experience and was very friendly! I booked her very last minute and she was willing to meet with me and have flexibility for my needs. She came the next day to care for our new puppy, sent notes, and was willing to answer any of my questions about our first day apart from the puppy. I look forward to using her dog boarding services in the future.”
“Patrick, as always, was amazing! He has spoiled us & our pups which means as long as he is available to take care of our fur babies when we need someone, he will be the person we go to. Worth every penny and we honestly feel more relaxed with him taking care of our dogs then most of our family members (especially our lab pit mix, she is VERY protective about who comes into our home but since the first time she met Patrick she trusted him and he knows how to handle her when she gets overstimulated too. Match made in heaven lol) We’d never met Patrick before needing a pet sitter and this is our 4th or 5th time using him. We would die for our dogs so are very careful about who we let be alone with them and we do not hesitate to gi to Patrick. We really are so grateful to have found such a caring and compassionate person.”
“Desiree was amazing. She came early on to meet us and my cats, and she was very attentive to all their needs when she took care of them. Very happy and will be booking again!!”
“Laura was great with our two cats and anxious dog! She very kindly came for a visit ahead of time to meet our pets and familiarize herself with their care needs. We will definitely reach out to Laura again for pet sitting 👍🏽”
“katy was so great with our two dogs. she had great communication and notes with photos so we knew what they were up to during the check-ins. she's very sweet and i can tell she really cares for the animals she cares for!”
“Andria is such a blessing! She took wonderful care of our fur babies while we were out of town. She’s an effective communicator, always provided us photos, moved our trash bins to the garage, brought in the mail and even helped by putting away our meat delivery as I forgot to reschedule it. She definitely went above and beyond for us and we couldn’t be more appreciative!!! 10/10 would recommend hiring Andria🤗🐕🦺🦮”
“Amanda took great care of my two dogs while we were away for the weekend. They can be skittish and shy but Amanda worked with them and adjusted schedules to better accommodate their needs as they do not like to go outside in the rain. I appreciated Amanda's great communication about how they were doing as well as Rover Card updates.”
“Noah was amazing with our cats, Asher and Luna. He took such great care of them while we were away, and it was such a relief to know they were in good hands. He even gave Asher his inhaler without any issues, which we really appreciated—it’s not the easiest thing to do! We came home to two happy, relaxed kitties, and we’d definitely trust Noah to watch them again. Highly recommend!”
About: Hi! I’m a local dog lover offering personalized walks right here in our neighborhood. Whether you’re at work, running errands, or just need an extra hand, I’m here to make sure your pup gets the attention, exercise, and love they deserve. I treat every dog like my own. I’m experienced with everything from high energy puppies who need a bit of leash training to sweet senior pups who need a slower pace and extra care. I’m reliable, patient, and always put safety first on every walk. Pet care is my main focus right now, so it fits perfectly into my daily routine! ( I’m on summer break as I work as a special needs aide) so I’ve set aside this time specifically to care for pets in my community, which means I’m flexible, dependable, and fully present for each walk or visit. Whether it’s early mornings, midday walks, or evening check-ins, I’ve got the time and energy to give your pet the attention they deserve. I currently care for pets in my apartment/ clients’ homes. I do prefer to care for pets in clients homes as I want to ensure each pet has the space and comfort they’re used to. When caring for pets in their own home, I do my best to stick to their regular routine; feeding times, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and any special instructions you provide. I always keep things clean, calm, and consistent so your pet feels safe and relaxed while you’re away. I treat every home with respect and every pet with the same love and care I’d want for my own.
“We have used Toran several times. Our dog, Oliver, took to him immediately (Oliver is not thrilled when first meeting brew people). Communication is excellent, two thumbs up!”
About: I love dogs. I have had one Doberman, one mutt who was the best, and two English Mastiffs. I had a dog everyday of my life until five years ago when my 200 pound English Mastiff named Max died. It broke my heart and hasn't felt right to replace him. But I love dogs and cherish watching the relationship people have with their dogs. I say hi to every pooch on the street that I pass. Rest assured, your dog will be treated with the utmost friendliness and care imaginable. I work from home so your dog will always have a friendly companion around. I work from home. I'm home basically all the time. And other than that, I just work on landscaping my front and back yards. I have a fenced in yard. Your pet is in great hands. I work from home.

About: I’ve taken care of sunconures, cockatiels, dogs, cats, hamsters and turtles ever since I can remember. My dog is a senior at the end of her life so I have experience with that as well Every month 1-15 I work in office and 16 to 31 every month I work from home. Willing to care for pets during any time in my home I have a basement set up incase the pets need to be kept seperate. If I’m going to your home I’m trust worthy and will not tamper with anything.
About: I have taken pets of family and friends, both dogs and cats. I am very attentive to their body language and try my best to respect their boundaries. I’ve taken care of cats most of my life, assisting my grandma with her cats over the years has given me valuable experience with both senior cats and small kittens. I am currently only available Fridays and weekends, on Friday's from 5pm to 8pm and on the weekends I am available from 2pm to 8pm. For pet walking I can assure it’ll be the safest route possible for your pet! No Unnecessary distractions. For drop in visits I will ensure no doors are left unlocked or open, your pets needs will be met!
“Colleen helped me out last minute with a drop in with my dog. She was friendly, professional and on time. She provided good notes for the visit and my dog enjoyed her company! Will definitely be using her again.”
“Amy is wonderful! She is very caring, prompt, professional, and dependable for your pets. She will make sure that your pets are cared for when you are not home. I will definitely book her again.”
