“She’s amazing and has such awesome communication! My favorite thing she does is leave notes on the rover card about how the walks went! Super sweet and caring! I highly recommend!”

About: I focus on providing calm, consistent care tailored to each dog’s routine and personality. I have experience with both high energy pups and senior dogs who need a slower pace and a bit of extra patience. Whether your dog needs structured walks, medication on schedule, or just a quiet companion while you’re away, I aim to make their time with me as stress free as possible. I also take the time to understand your pet’s habits, quirks, and needs because small details make a big difference in quality care. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets consistent attention throughout the day. Whether it’s regular walks, feeding, playtime, or just keeping them company. I plan my days around their needs to ensure they feel safe, seen, and relaxed while you’re away. Whether pets are staying with me or I’m coming to them, I try to make things feel as normal and comforting as possible. At my place, they’ll have a calm and safe environment with lots of attention, a steady routine, and plenty of time for walks, play, or just relaxing. I only take on a few pets at a time so I can really focus on each one. If I’m caring for a pet in their own home, I do my best to follow your routine exactly because that familiarity makes a big difference. I’ll keep you updated, treat your home with respect, and make sure your pet feels looked after the whole time you’re away.

About: Hello, I'm Vanessa. I am a dog mom at heart (my sweet seniors have crossed to rainbow bridge) so I'll be adopting again when I'm ready, until then I have two rescue bunnies and I have fostered seven dogs through rescues. I have cared for both dogs and cats while their families are out of town. My goal is to keep their routines as close to normal as possible while providing the love and attention they miss while you're away. I personally know how tough it is to leave your pets behind for vacation or a work trip so I am happy to send pictures and/or video of your babies having a good time with me for your peace of mind. I look forward to meeting you and your furbabies! My schedule is currently open and I'm available to take care of your pets as needed. I prefer to watch high energy dogs in their own home as I only have a small yard. I have a doggie door and a small yard at my home and free roam 24/7 but can crate your pet if that's your routine overnight. In your home, I try to keep to your routine as much as possible as pets are such creatures of habit It makes them feel most comfortable.

“Lance does a great job with our dog! I was nervous to book anyone because of our dogs reactivity to other dogs, but he’s done a great job w him controlling the situation and taking his attention off the other dogs. Five stars :)”

“Audriana is a delight. She is very thorough and professional. Combine that with her knowledge and natural gift with animals she is perfectly suited to care for them. Our introduction and first dog walk could not have gone better. Audriana is patient and a fast learner. Her and Ragnar became fast friends! I am absolutely going to have repeat walks with Audriana.”


“Natalie took great care of our Yuki (a 3 yr old Shiba Inu) while we were away on vacation. She was very flexible with our schedule and she accommodated all of our needs. She made sure that our pup always had plenty of food and water and even hand fed her when she wasn’t eating as much due to the stress of us not being around. We could tell Yuki just loved her!”

“Sara is great will my 8 month old pomchi pups! She has helped them gain more confidence with new situations, people, and other animals while out and about on their walks.

I have a flexible work schedule so I am available any time of day or night for walks, drop-ins, and house/pet sitting. I can also respond to urgent or unexpected requests. When I go into a client's home I focus on the pet and what I need to do to take care of them. I let them know they can trust me. Dogs often act differently with folks other than their owners so I let them show me who they are. That way we can have a good time together.

Absolutely amazing person! It was the first time my dog have been in someone else’s care for a week! He was very scared and lost the first two days but Ella is just an amazing, pet loving and most caring human being who patiently and eagerly earned my pet’s trust!! Absolutely recommend Ella to take care of your furry friends!!

Alyssa is a very reliable and honest dog walker. She is also super friendly and goes above and beyond her dog walking responsibilities on occasion. She walked my mom’s dog, Heidi, for her. Around Valentines Day she was wearing a blouse that my mom really liked, so she went to Walmart and picked her up a blouse similar to hers. My mom really liked having her as a walker.

Pleasure to find Vanessa on the Rover app! I immediately felt she was a great person and her love and care for dogs shines. She asked all the right questions to make sure my girl would be happy and safe on her walks - what more could a dog mom ask for? Thanks Vanessa- Princess Jellybean has really enjoyed her walks with you 💕🐾

Erin walked our quirky, slow-paced pup Nico today for 30 minutes, and we couldn’t be happier. She was right on time, took him on a solid walk, and Nico responded really well to her calm, kind energy. We especially appreciated the thoughtful touch of topping off his water afterward—small gestures like that go a long way. Highly recommend Erin for anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker!

Beth was absolutely amazing with Kodi while I was away! She was reliable, thoughtful, and clearly has a great connection with dogs. I got regular updates and photos, which made it so much easier to relax knowing Kodi was in great hands. It’s always tough to leave your dog behind, but Beth made the whole experience completely stress-free. I couldn’t recommend her more—definitely booking again next time I’m away!
