“Geoff was absolutely wonderful!!! We have an extremely challenging German Shepherd who we were nervous about leaving but Geoff was kind and firm with him. He sent quite a few pictures and videos to keep our minds at ease. We will definitely have him in again to take care of our Bo.”
“We were so nervous to leave our babies but Michael was excellent, he communicated effectively and we are so happy with his service. We will definitely be booking him again! Thank you again!!”
“Ashley doesn't just take care of our two high-maintenance cats - she makes sure everything in the house is safe, secure, and comfortable while we are away! I know it's all in good hands when Ashley is here.”
About: I have taken care of pets and been a pet owner all of my life. I’m a true cat lady but love all animals, especially any type of bulldog. My husband and I both work full time, but rest assure when you leave your pet with us, they will be comfortable during the day and be taken care of morning and night! My hubby usually is home by 3/4pm latest. Fenced in yard for your dog to run around! We will walk your pet as instructed Our 4 year old English bulldog Griffey loves playmates!
About: I loveee animals. I grew up with many pets from cute little bunnies, turtles, lizards, birds, dogs and everything in between. I’m very caring which will show in everything I do. Your babies will be my babies, I promise :) I currently work full-time as an elementary teacher. I’m available for boarding your babes on weekends, and weekdays after 4pm. Sometimes I’m off on holidays and I would board then as well. We will always have a great time. Your babe will be free to roam my apartment under my supervision, of course. I also have a large yard, but will keep him on a leash. I can also crate him or her if you prefer. Either way, we will have tons of fun together.
“Mallory is great with my dog. I was looking for a reliable person to walk Sonny 2 days a week when I go into the office. She is very friendly and a good communicator. My dog seems to really like her. She is a dog owner and you can tell she loves animals. Having Mallory as Sonny's walker is such a relief while I'm at work. I know my bestie is in good hands with Mallory :)”

Whether your dog needs a brisk exercise session or a gentle, sniff-filled adventure, I tailor every walk to their needs. I offer one-on-one care or small-group walks, adjusting for weather, so your pup is always comfortable—shorter play if it’s hot, and extra attention if needed. I also have a background in caring for cats, puppies, fast walkers, and senior dogs—including those who need extra exercise for weight management. With one-on-one, thoughtful care, I’ll make every walk the best part of your dog’s day! My services are available daily between 9 a.m. and 11:30 a.m., and I also have availability between 4 p.m. and 5 p.m. The earlier slot from 8 to 9 a.m. is already booked, and I have other commitments after noon. I’m happy to adjust for your pet’s needs—whether it’s walks, feeding, or playtime—so feel free to reach out, and we’ll coordinate a time that works best. Safety and trust are at the heart of my pet care services. I ensure every visit is calm, secure, and tailored to your pet’s comfort. I keep a close eye on their environment—ensuring they have a safe space, secure handling, and plenty of enrichment. You can rest assured that your pet is in caring, experienced hands every step of the way.
About: I have always been involved in pet care in my home for over 15 years. I have had experience with elderly dogs and cats of my own. I have pet-sitted in my neighborhood for puppies and for breeds different from my own dogs. I will use my energy to play with your pet and hopefully decrease their energy. I have a very flexible schedule since graduating college and applying to graduate school nearby. I have lots of time and availability for stop-ins during the day or bringing study materials to a client’s home. My yard is fenced in and I can take dogs for a walk in Brookdale Park nearby. I will administer medicine and play with dogs and provide them with a cuddly environment.
About: I have cared for pets, both my own and the pets of others, my whole life. I make sure pets feel safe, I follow their cues, and love to play. I’ve cared for both puppies and senior dogs, I’ve given medication, and know how to properly support when lifting a dog so as not to hurt them. I have cared for scared dogs who need gentleness, and sick dogs who need comfort. I believe in positive reinforcement and though can say “no!” with authority, I am against any physical punishments. I have de-escalated the advances of scared and angry dogs. And my pockets are always full of treats. I currently have a wide open schedule except for when I’m dropping my human child at school and picking up again at the end of the day. I would love to fill that time in between with playing with doggos and kitties. I am my dog’s mom, best friend, and humble servant. I have slept in the guest room with her when she’s sick, I’ve been her personal body pillow when she wants super close snuggles and forgets shes enormous and lies fully on top of me like a very wiggly weighted blanket. I have been her protector when another dog scares her and she needs to use my body as a shield. She doesn’t like the way her dad or human brother open the back door, so she feels confident in coming to wake me up despite other humans who could do her bidding. And I comply because I love her and I would do the same for any other pet in my care.
About: I have a dog and cat of my own! A small terrier mix that was found on the streets named Sofia and an orange tabby named Fin! I frequently spend time with my partners dogs which both came from shelters, so I understand that some dogs just need time and your presence. Whether it’s feedings, walks, cuddles, or just my presence for company, I am there. I’m currently a part time student so I’ll have plenty of weekday and weekend availability! Mondays - after 5 pm Tuesday - after 12 pm Wednesday - Sunday - anytime I am comfortable with crating and/or crate training if that is in the works. Whatever instructions or day-to-day things that make your pet comfortable, I am there for!
About: I have taken care of cats and dogs since I was little for family and neighbors. I can bathe, walk, feed, and care for dogs. I have 5 cats so I am very well known with how to care for a cat, I can clean litter boxes, feed, and care for all cats. During the week I am available early in the morning before 8am, and I also am available after 3 most days during the week. I am available on weekends at any time. I have 4 cats and feed them everyday. I also give one of my cats medication everyday. I take very good care of my cats, I have watched over a cousins dog in my home and it went very well, the cats never messed with him and he was very happy. I have also dog sat my brothers dog many times since he was a puppy.
“So this was a very last minute & first time thing for me! Luckily Stephanie was able to accommodate me and come help with Myka. Stephanie spent some extra time with her and that means so much to us! Thank you again I will definitely be booking another visit!”
Clifton pet parents share their Rover experiences
Oscar might love Pete more than he loves us! He was THRILLED to go over there and spend some time with his best friends. I love that Pete gives us such detailed recaps and pictures - it helps put our minds at ease, and we're always thrilled to see and read how unbelievably happy Oscar is while we're out. He came home exhausted; he tried so hard to keep the party going, but fell asleep very quickly and was out for the night. Thank you so much again, Pete!!
Christina was incredible with my cat! She was very thorough, caring, and treated my cat as if she were her own. Christina went above and beyond, even spending extra time with her most days. She also made sure my apartment stayed clean and provided constant pictures and feedback. I felt so grateful knowing that my cat was in such great care while I was very far away. When I returned, my cat was very calm and happy, which shows she remained relaxed while I was away!
I can’t say enough great things about Ashley ! From the very first meet-and-greet, it was clear how kind, reliable, and genuinely passionate she is about animals. She took the time to understand my dog’s personality, routine, and needs, which immediately put me at ease. While at work I received photos, and little notes that reassured me my dog was not only safe, but happy and well cared for. It truly felt like my dog was being treated like family, not just a booking. When I come home from work, my dog is relaxed, content, and clearly has formed a bond with Ashley - which says everything. It’s not easy trusting someone with your pet ! If you’re looking for someone dependable, communicative, and full of love for your pet, I highly recommend Ashley !
Stefanie was absolutely AMAZING! From the moment she started, we felt completely at ease. She sent frequent updates and adorable photos throughout her stay, which meant the world to us. She truly saved us in a last-minute situation and was beyond accommodating and flexible. It was so clear our pups were happy, comfortable, and in the excellent hands. We highly recommend Stefanie to anyone looking for exceptional care! 🐾💛
Kaitlin went truly above and beyond for us. During this visit she wasn’t feeling well and couldn’t drive, yet instead of canceling, she arranged for a family member to bring her so our cats would still be cared for. We were incredibly grateful for the extra effort and thoughtfulness she showed. Kaitlin has demonstrated her dedication and commitment time and again, and we feel very lucky to have her caring for our cats. We trust her completely and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.
I book with Karen all the time. She knows what she is doing and she is very thoughtful. There was a power outage when I was gone and she thought to tell me while I was away. She was concerned about the automatic feeder. She also made sure that the cans I had for Sheba were put aside for recycling.
