“She was awesome. I’m in a situation where my alarm system was going off. She stayed well long after the walk and continue to make sure my dogs are OK until I was able to get back. I really appreciate what she did and I recommend her to anybody she will make sure your dogs are safe and sound regardless of the situation And you know she deserves you know to be the top dog walker and Sherills Ford.”

“We adore Charlotte! Every morning my boys come running down the stairs when she arrives so excited for their walk. She truly loves what she does and it shows. Charlotte is friendly, prompt and professional. Always recommend!”

“Katy has been a constant part of Ava’s routine as a puppy. So, she looks forward to seeing Katy for her walks. And Katy always sounds excited seeing Ava. I love the report cards from Katy that depict Ava 100%. I also appreciate Katy sharing Ava’s energy level during the walks and/or if Ava’s been sick (Ava was sick once and I appreciate Katy sharing openly especially as Ava recently started playing i.e. biting the lower leaves of my fiddle gif 🤪). We appreciate Katy’s flexibility with Ava’s walk especially when Ava’s had a vet visit for her vaccines. Katy is so sweet, patient, kind, and communicates well (letting me know her anticipated eta, and/or if I have a package and bringing it inside). We’ll keep our walks with Katy ☺️🫶🏾”

“Jessica did a great job visiting Iggy for an afternoon break. She has such an affable personality. Highly recommended and I look forward to using her services again.”

“We really like Joe & Christine, they did an excellence job of walking Bodie and keeping us informed about how he did on each walk. Bodie also made fast friends with them and was excited to see them. We definitely will be contacting them for our next booking of services.”

“Karley did a fabulous job taking our dog on a 2x walk during our vacation. She is very knowledgeable about dogs and handled our large, active lab mix with expert care.”

“Danni took wonderful care of my sweet pets! The report cards were detailed and included adorable photos that clearly showed how happy and well-cared-for my pups were. It gave me such peace of mind knowing they were in great hands. I would absolutely trust Danni to care for them again in the future.”

“Thank you Mary for always taking such great care of our (big!) boys! Your updates and photos make our time away from home so much more relaxing knowing that they are so well cared for. Appreciate you so much!”

About: I’ve pet sit for neighbors for about 2 years now, and am particularly passionate about getting dogs the outdoor time and exercise they need. I love seeing how much joy and excitement it brings them. I work from home and typically take my own dog on 20-30 minute walks and want to extend the favor to those with less flexible schedules! I work full-time from home, so my schedule is extremely flexible! I am available during weekdays and weekends, and am usually up fairly early to take care of pups who need early-morning care! When caring for pets in my client’s home, I prefer to have detailed instructions so I can ensure care is provided properly. I also make it a top priority to leave the home the same, if not better, than I found it.
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. From playful puppies full of energy to senior pets needing a gentler touch, I’ve provided daily walks, feeding, medication administration, grooming, and lots of affection. I’m attentive to each animal’s unique needs and make sure their routine stays consistent, so they feel safe and comfortable while their owner is away. I’ve also cared for pets with special needs, including administering oral medications and monitoring for signs of anxiety or discomfort. What sets me apart is my reliability, patience, and ability to connect quickly with animals. I treat every pet as if they were my own, creating a safe and fun environment. My special skills include: Puppy care & training basics – reinforcing house training, leash manners, and positive behavior through patience and consistency. Senior pet care – providing slow, comfortable walks, joint-friendly play, and careful attention to medication schedules. Observation & communication – I notice small changes in behavior or appetite that could signal health concerns and always keep owners updated with detailed notes and photos. Above all, I know that pets are family, and I go the extra mile to make sure they feel loved, secure, and happy while in my care. As a stay-at-home wife, my schedule is very open and flexible, which allows me to dedicate my full attention to the pets I care for. Since I’m home throughout the day, I’m able to provide frequent walks, playtime, feedings, and companionship without pets ever feeling rushed or neglected. Pet care truly becomes the rhythm of my day—I can easily adjust my routine around each pet’s needs, whether that means early morning potty breaks, mid-day exercise, or evening cuddle time. Because I’m not balancing another job outside the home, I have the time and energy to make sure every pet gets plenty of love, consistency, and supervision. I follow each pet’s normal routine to keep them comfortable—feeding on schedule, daily walks or playtime, giving medications if needed, and plenty of love and attention. In my home, pets are treated like family with a safe, clean, and cozy environment. In a client’s home, I respect their space while making sure their pet feels cared for and secure.
About: I truly believe every pet is family, and I care for them as if they were my own. These days, I’m a proud pet parent to two sweet Maltipoos, so I know firsthand how much love, patience, and attention our furry family members need. Welcome to my page and Please call me Sam :) Right now, I work full-time in retail, but my goal is to transition into pet care routine. This is my first time using Rover, and I’m looking forward to meeting new pets and families to see where this journey takes me. In a client’s home, I will make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their familiar space. I will follow the routine family set—feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and any special instructions—so their day feels as normal as possible. I give them lots of love, attention, and updates to you along the way.
About: A skilled and experienced pet sitter, walker, and boarder with a passion for animals. I grew up with dogs & cats my entire life. From small to large, young and older. I am trustworthy, punctual and able to provide exceptional care and attention. I work from home Monday-Friday so am home during those hours until 5:00PM with available weekends too. I can even provide drop ins during lunch hours. I maintain a clean and safe environment for pets and ensure their well-being and happiness while their owners were away. I Communicate regularly with clients to update them on their pet's status.

“Best dog walker and sitter I have ever had. She is so good with my pups. One is special needs. I would trust her with my pet no question. Anyone would be lucky to have her take care of their animals.”
