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 have a flexible schedule that allows me to care for multiple dogs multiple times a week. My attentiveness and focus when watching pets allows for complete care and safety. I ensure pets are well fed, use the bathroom when they need to, and give them the attention they crave.

“Yazmine was able to jump in at the last minute and provide some quick care to Loki when my schedule changed! So grateful. Despite not having met each other before, he warmed up to her and allowed her to put on his harness (a bit achievement for a first meeting!). She was communicative and thorough, very responsive to instructions. Thank you!!”


“Cheryl and Elmar took such great care of our dog Peanut! They were even able to accommodate us when we needed emergency doggy care on short notice after our flights were canceled - we are so grateful! Peanut also had so much fun on his walks with them, he was so excited and waited by the door for them! Highly highly recommend!”


“Tere is an excellent provider. She is easy to communicate with, is prompt, and went above and beyond to make sure my dogs were comfortable and extremely well-taken care of. Highly recommend.”


“Hannah managed my dog and the dog I’m currently fostering like a pro! I got extensive details about their walks, and came home to two very happy, well cared for boys at the end of my trip!”


“Peter is an enthusiastic and considerate pet care provider! He did an excellent job walking our large dog, taking the time to learn about her tendencies and needs, making sure to accommodate her allergies and health issues. He’s also very prompt and very polite. Will absolutely hire him again!”


“Alina really helped me in a pinch, visiting from out of town but needing dog walks while here. She was communicative, responsive, punctual and, best of all, she clearly loves dogs & walking! My little guy was always happy to see her and walk with her.”


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.

About: Lifelong animal lover with experience from pups, kittens to senior dogs and even more recently deaf pets. Was raised with cats, dogs, and even reptiles. Pet care fits naturally into my life. Recently lost my 13yr old senior frenchie. I do work full-time weekdays but am available for evening feedings, walks, and weekend care. My 12 yr old son may be with me many times as this is also his passion. Whether in my home or yours, your pet’s comfort and safety come first. In my home, while space is modest, I offer a clean, cozy environment with a secure fenced-in yard for play and potty breaks. I'm attentive and patient. I also have a 12 yr old son who can keep your pet active if needed. My son actively entertained our frenchie and provided those extra special hugs. There will always be room for love and play. In your home, I follow your pet's routine closely to keep them calm and happy while you're away.

“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!”


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: 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.

“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.”

Deborah M.
“Debbie M. loves animals; she has a cat who she takes care of lovingly. Frequently, she dog sits for her son & daughter-in-law’s pet, Kobe. Kobe loves spending time with Debbie at her home. Also, Debbie gets concerned about one of our friend’s cats and will purchase food and kitty litter to ensure the fur babies’ have a plentiful supply. You can depend on Debbie to take care of your pet as if it were her own or Kobe.”


Joeyann M.
“I’m writing this letter as a proud mother to share just deeply my daughter, JoeyAnn Morales connects with animals and why I believe she would be a wonderful pet sitter or walker through Rover. From the time she was a little girl, She has shown an extraordinary love and compassion for animals. She didn’t just grow up around pets—she truly lived alongside them. Our home has always been filled with a variety of animals, including cats, dogs, birds, ducks, reptiles, ferrets, and even the occasional rescue. No matter the species, She treated each one like family, often referring to them as her “babies.” Her nurturing nature was always clear, she would feed them, clean up after them, and do everything to make sure they were happy and healthy. Her passion for animals wasn’t just a phase and animals seem to be drawn to her calm, gentle presence. She has an instinct for reading their needs and responding with kindness and patience. I know she will treat every pet she cares for through Rover with the same love and attention she has always given to our own. She’s dependable, respectful, and someone I would trust with any animal, big or small. Please feel free to reach out if you’d like more insight—I’d be happy to share more about her experience and character.”

Carley G.
“I have known Carley G. for over eight years and during this time I have observed the dedication, loyalty and sensitivity that she has for our four legged friends. As a pet owner who is way too attached to her dog, I enthusiastically recommend Carley as a conscientious and caring pet sitter. I know that she will care for our two boxer puppies as I would. I am more comfortable leaving my animals with Carley because she really relates to each animal individually. Every dog she keeps forms a bond with her. When I leave my babies, it is important for me to know that more than her physical needs will be satisfied. The affection that she receives from Carley makes her separation from me less stressful.”


Anya M.

“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!”


Theodore G.
“Theodore is a very responsible person and has taken care of my pets multiple times when I have left the house, and each time I return everything is perfect and just the way I left it.”

We had a fantastic experience with Peter! He was incredibly easy to work with and responded right away, even on short notice. Although we didn’t meet in person, we felt completely at ease thanks to clear communication and the videos we sent him in advance. Peter went above and beyond by sharing lots of great photos of our dog, Captain, during their time together—which really put our minds at ease. Captain absolutely loved him, and it showed! We’re so grateful for Peter’s care and look forward to booking with him again in the future. Highly recommend!

Ilda is a fantastic dog walker! She’s professional, kind, and always makes sure my dog comes back happy and tired after their walks. It’s clear she cares deeply about animals, and I trust her completely. If you're looking for a reliable and loving dog walker, Ilda is the best!

Michael has been absolutely wonderful with my dog! From the very first meet-and-greet, he was super warm, professional, and clearly great with animals. My dog instantly felt comfortable, and the walk went smoothly. I really appreciate the updates and photos after the walk. It’s clear that my pup is happy, well exercises and in great hands. Michael is punctual, communicative, and always respectful of my home and routine. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a caring and dependable dog walker. Thank you so much for taking care of my Dashy! We’ll be using Michael for drop in visits and dog sitting soon,
