“Issa’s attention and care for my dog on his walks helps my wife and I out a lot with our busy schedules. We are often unable to take Doug out for a walk in the morning due to our schedules but when Issa takes him out, I know he will get better exercise than myself. She ensures all of Doug’s needs are met on his walk. 10/10 recommend.”

“Danielle is our perfect fit! Yesterday was our first walk and Myles actually snuggled with me at night because he was so tired. Navigating a 9 month old GSP energy has been such a challenge for us.

I highly recommend her!”
12. Orion & Alex M.
About: Hello, we are Orion (he/him) and Alex (he/him)! I, Orion, typically handle all the communication through the app, but we are both background checked by Rover! Both of us have had six family dogs throughout our lives and have experience taking care of cats. Most of our pets were adopted young and grew into seniors, so we have experience with dogs and cats of all ages. We no longer live with any dogs, but we have two cats of our own. I am currently a college student, but for the most part, I have a pretty open schedule. Alex works remotely and has a flexible schedule as well. We love socializing with pets and getting to know their unique personalities while we’re visiting them. We will care for them as if they are our own! We are also particular about following instructions exactly as provided to ensure the utmost care and safety of your pet.

15. Tia S.
About: I’ve taken care of family pets since I was in high school. I started out by being held responsible for my own pets when my parents went out of towns, which then turned into friends or friends of friends needing occasional check-ins, walks, or feeding. Currently, I have been doing a lot of house sitting for 3-5 days. I am responsible for a full barn of horses, ducks, chickens, and many dogs (some that are seniors and some that are puppies). I am currently a full-time college student so I have tons of flexibility to put your pets into my daily (morning or evening) schedule and I am happy to work with pet owners to find times that both fit our days! I do not care for pets in my home at the moment. However, when I am caring for pets at my pet parents’ home I am always respectful of their wishes regarding their pets and I take additional safety measures to ensure the pet(s) are in great hands!
16. Carla A.
“Carla has been great with my girls Mouse and Ivy. She is super dependable. She is always prompt with her communication and always lets me know if there is anything out of the ordinary during her visits and walks, which I appreciate very much. I recommend Carla, without reservation, for your pet care.”
17. Emmanuel A.
About: Ive been taking Ghost for 3 years now. In the past I’ve helped friends take care of their pets. This is a opportunity for me to learn more about pet caregiving. Pet care is integrated into my daily routine and is a source of joy, companionship, and responsibility. For example, each morning and evening there is a time for Ghost and I to eat feed, walk, and play. Other tasks, such as grooming or administering medication, may be performed on a more infrequent basis. I like to know what basic necessities such as food, water, and shelter, as well as regular exercise, grooming, and playtime are for each pet. Depending on the type of pet, it may also involve providing medical care and regular check-ups.
18. Sahireliz R.
“Sahireliz is a very dependable person. She is an animal lover, and I have had her care for my dog several times. She is conscientious and caring toward our pet, ensuring that she gets all of the information she needs to properly care for him. She is responsive and proactive. I would highly recommend Sahi for your pet needs. They will be in competent care.”

I currently own a rescue boxer mix, named Pillow, who was one of our foster fails! I have experience working with animals of all sizes, breeds and personalities.
