“Im very happy to have booked Lucy to take care of my dog Ice. She is extremely attentive, punctual, kind and really went above and beyond! Ice really enjoyed his walks with her and I will highly recommend her to anyone who is thinking of booking through rover and I will certainly be booking her again. I could not be more pleased and grateful for her services, thanks Lucy!”


“We found a very wonderful and professional new friend for our Dudley, in Arianna. She takes extra strides, most of the time to be ahead of schedule and followed through our ‘baby’s’ needs, and our requests. She goes beyond the fun walk, and our Dudley looks forward for her morning walks. TYSM Ari! We are looking forward to next week.”


“Angelena is a life saver! Chances mid day walk has helped with potty training and keeping my mind at ease knowing he has a friend coming to check on him and take him for a walk. I 100% recommend her to anyone who wants their baby to be with someone caring and thoughtful. I also LOVE his pics each time they go out.”


“We had such a great experience with Erin! She took such wonderful care of our dog, who can be difficult on a leash, while we were away for the weekend. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. She was communicative, responsible, and our dog clearly loved all the walks and attention! We would absolutely recommend Erin to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker. Can’t wait to book again!”

“Luisa is an angel! Our pup loved her immediately and she was very flexible covering a lot of walks for me while I nursed a cold. Great communication, happy doggo, happy family! We couldn't have asked for anything more. I recommend her highly!”


About: I grew up in a family who loved and hosted multiple breeds of dogs and cats. Pets deserve someone like myself to fill in to be cared for. I am available for walks and sitting 7 days per week. It is important though, that dogs not be incessant barkers, as I live in an apartment. Dogs must be trained to walk outside and/or use wee pads seamlessly. Dogs willl be walked, fed, entertained and bathed, if needed, for an additional charge. Cats must not be destructive to furniture or other pets. Thank you.

I love dogs and am interested in working with Rover as a means of extra money while also training to have a dog of my own one day.

Sally-Ann L.
“I highly recommend Sally Ann as a dog sitter and dog walker. She definitely has a natural gift caring for animals and an incredible ability to make dogs feel comfortable, happy and loved. I have witnessed her love and interaction with dogs firsthand, I can confidently say that she is responsible, attentive, and affectionate. Whether it’s going for long walks, engaging in playful activities, or ensuring the dogs are well-fed and cared for, Sally Ann consistently goes above and beyond to meet each pet’s needs. Sally Ann is also highly reliable and punctual, always showing up on time and maintaining open communication with pet owners. Her calm demeanor and understanding of different dog behaviors makes for a trusted companion for pets and a reassuring presence for their owners. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog with the same love and care you would, I wholeheartedly recommend Sally Ann! Your furry friend will be in the best hands! D Figueroa”


Chelsea S.Star Sitter
“Chelsea is the perfect fit for pet sitting! I’m not sure I’ve seen someone love animals more than her. She’s great with her two dogs and has also been super nice and helpful with my two cats. She’s also always organized and on top of things and will definitely give her all to any lucky pets that she ends up watching.”


Dean F.
“Aside from being one of the friendliest and most kind hearted people I’ve had the pleasure of meeting, Dean is reliable, a great communicator, and has such a positive attitude! I had went on vacation for a little over a week and needed someone to watch my Dog Coco and my guinea pigs Rex and Ray. Coco is extremely friendly and adjusts to most if not all environments, meanwhile my guinea pigs are always anxious and can be uncomfortable around strangers. Dean watched my fur babies while I was on vacation and he kept me up to date with how each of them were doing, showing me pictures and videos, and even let me FaceTime them just so I could say hello. I knew my Coco would be fine, they got along extremely well and he LOVES Dean, but I was so glad that my guineas were so comfortable with him and didn’t stay in their huts the entire time. I was so appreciative of him taking care of my boys and how kind of a person he was, that I recommended my best friend to him as well (she has 2 cats). She had a great experience with him as well! I would highly recommend Dean to anyone looking for a great pet sitter!”


Lauryn D.
“Lauryn is guaranteed a great pet care giver! I have two Yorkshire terriers and a cat that all love Lauryn dearly ! Lauryn is very attentive when she is taking care of my pets and she treats them as if they are her own. She is kind and trustworthy and reliable. Your fur family WILL be treated as her own. It is also a plus that she works in an animal hospital, and is full knowledgable of Veterinary Medicine, and she has access to emergency pet health care 24/7. You will not be disappointed in choosing Lauryn for all of your pet sitting needs!”

“Cheryl knows exactly how to lovingly care for my 5 cats, 3 of whom are old and 2 that need twice daily medication. She gives it to them better than I do. She’s great with cats and dogs. She’s so reliable and kind!”


Kayla Q.
“Kayla is great, she’s helped me out with my dogs and cats in the past. She is very on top of all of my pets needs and gave updates throughout every call I needed her for. I have full trust in Kayla and would be comfortable with her watching my pets short term or long term.”
