About: I have grown up around animals, taking care of two dogs since I was a kid. I have watched and walked my neighbors and family friends dogs for years, letting me develop my pet care skills. My willingness to go above and beyond allows me to give complete and amazing care for your animals! I am always taking care of animals at home.

I ensure pets are well fed, use the bathroom when they need to, and give them the attention they crave.

About: I've had a love for animals as long as I can remember. As a young child finding strays , cats or dogs and caring for them until the owners where found. Love these fur babies and will care for them like my own. I am currently unemployed and love animals and walking -perfect fit! My schedule is open to help when needed. Would love to schedule a meetup with your fur baby. Each pet has its own routine to be discussed prior to my care. Will follow the needs of each pet individually and any additional requirements as needed.
“Maia was great!! We reached out last minute for a walk and she was able to fit us into her schedule. While we did not get the chance to meet Maia beforehand, she was kind, responsive, and put our minds at ease. Maia followed the instructions we provided and was really great with our dog Fritz. She sent us photos and shared a thorough recap after the walk. We will definitely be booking Maia again in the future!”

“Hayley is great! Dex loves her and she’s wonderful with the communication! I highly recommend her!”
About: I have been taking care of my dog for about 7 years now, I have been feeding him and playing with him, I love them. I work a part time job so in my free time I like walking dogs and seeing other dogs and everything they have to give. I have a fence so he can play when he wants on the deck or if he wants a walk. If they misbehave I can crate them so they can learn.
About: I have years of experience caring for dogs and cats, including walking, bathing, and ensuring their overall well-being. I previously worked as a dog bather, giving me hands-on experience with different breeds and temperaments. As a dedicated pet lover with three dogs of my own, I understand the importance of patience, exercise, and affection in pet care. Friends and family have come to me for years to look after and walk their pets! My previous experiences has equipped me to handle various energy levels and needs, ensuring each pet gets personalized attention. Whether it’s a fun walk or just some extra love, I always prioritize their happiness and safety. Pet care fits naturally into my routine as a college student with a flexible schedule. I have Mondays, Fridays, and most weekends free, along with availability on Tuesdays after 2 PM and Wednesdays after 12 PM. My schedule allows me to be reliable and accommodating. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize their comfort, routine, and well-being. I follow any specific instructions provided, ensuring meals, walks, and playtime align with their usual schedule. I provide fresh water, give plenty of attention, and make sure they get the exercise they need. If needed, I can also handle light grooming, such as brushing or wiping paws after walks. I always respect the client’s home, keeping it clean and secure while ensuring their pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for in their familiar environment.
About: Since I could remember my household was full of animals from dogs, cats, bunnies, and more. I love all types of animals but dogs are my sweet spot. I work a part-time job for the summer so my hours are very flexible and i’m more than willing to take any dog so long as it can fit into my schedule When it comes to pets whether they’re mine or a clients i ensure that they are consistently fed, walked, and given time to play outside in my backyard. I enjoy playing them too either with toys or just running around with them.
“Andrea dog walked Cody on one day earlier this week (3 times during the day) and I couldn't be happier. Her communication was outstanding, plenty of photos and even documents how many times he pee-ed and pooped on each walk. She was accommodating when I had to adjust my schedule and was very reliable. She even washed out his dog food container when it was empty, which was beyond the call of duty. Andrea has a lovely manner, is very pleasant and eager to please. Would definitely work with her again.”
“Anya is our go-to dog walker and Toby loves her! She’s reliable, flexible and trustworthy. Toby always gets a good walk and comes back tired. Highly recommend!”
About: I will ensure your pet will get exercise and love when they are with me. I will play with toys, and give them endless belly rubs. I walk my dogs frequently throughout the day. I play with them as much as they want to play, and I give them lots of love and attention. I do this for all of my family members’ and friends’ pets as well, whenever I care for them. I am available to start caring for your pets today up until July 1st, which is when I will be getting my work schedule for my nursing career. After that, I am willing to work around my nursing schedule to care for your fur babies. I have a 3 year old mini Goldendoodle and a 12 year old golden retriever. I take them on multiple walks through out the day, feed them twice daily, ensure they have enough exercise and give them lots of love and play time. I will do the same for your family pets!

Theodore G.
“As Teddy's father, I've had the privilege of watching him grow into an incredibly kind, responsible, and thoughtful young man—especially when it comes to animals. From a very early age, he showed a deep empathy for pets and a natural ability to connect with them. When our neighbors went on vacation, Teddy stepped in without hesitation, making sure their dogs were not just cared for, but loved and given plenty of attention and playtime. He approaches every task with maturity and a big heart. Whether he’s out walking dogs in the neighborhood or simply sitting with a nervous pup to keep them company, he brings calm, warmth, and a strong sense of responsibility. I’d trust him with any pet, any time. He’d be an incredible asset to the Rover community.”
