“I recently adopted a rescue who is having a hard time adjusting to new people. Kathryn did a great job with him! Despite him growling at her she was patient with him and helped him calm down so she could walk him. She was reliable and understanding. I then asked her if she could come again last minute and without hesitation she agreed! I would definitely work with Kathryn again!”

“Amanda is awesome with our dog Leyla! This was our first time using Rover and it could not have been a better match. She is nearby, flexible and takes the extra time and effort to ensure our puppy gets in some good, quality, fun exorcise for the day. She is very experienced with animals of all kinds and makes me feel confident that my pup is in good hands. Highly recommended!”

“My Stella and I were extremely happy with Margaret’s dog walking services. My Stella loved her at first sight. A sixty-one pound dog can be hard to handle and Margaret handled Stella with ease. Always willing to accommodate changed walking times, extremely reliable and very friendly. I plan on using Margaret in the future. Five star service for sure!”

About: As a lifelong animal lover with years of experience in pet care, I understand that every pet has their own unique needs. I pride myself on having a strong sense of animal behavior and adjusting care accordingly to each individual pet’s temperament. I have a great deal of experience with senior pets and/or pets with a strict medication regimen. I understand that these animals often need additional patience and compassion and I am always striving to reliably provide such care. This includes administering edible, topical, and injectable medications. I have experience with dogs of all shapes and sizes as well as cats and small animals (birds, fish, reptiles, etc) so you can rest assured that your beloved critters are in good hands! I do my best to be communicative so I am always willing to discuss any additional details or concerns with my clients. My main goal in pet care is to provide reliable and respectful service that keeps your furry friend happy and gives you peace of mind in knowing they are properly cared for while you are away. I hope that I get to meet you and your pets very soon! Pet care is currently my main focus so my weekly schedule is almost always open. I am extremely flexible with scheduling which means I will be available to do reoccurring visits or extended pet sitting if need be. I have my own transportation so I am happy to make visits that are a bit out of my area as well. I have worked in professional pet care for 7+ years which has including both daily dog walking and overnight house-sitting. Being respectful of my client’s pets and their homes is of utmost importance to me. As well as pet sitting I am more than happy to take on other house-sitting responsibilities such as watering plants and bringing in mail/packages. I always appreciate strong communication and always do my best to provide prompt updates while you are away

“Gaby has been such an amazing help to us! We are so grateful for her and her services! Gaby is reliable, caring, and trustworthy! We feel at ease knowing Mimi is in such loving and caring hands! She does an amazing job keeping us posted with her strong communication skills! Highly recommend Gaby to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and attentive!”

About: I grew up and have been around dogs my whole life. Many family members have trusted me to care for their dogs. I also worked as a dog bather for a year. I am familiar with dog body language. I will treat every dog as if they are my own! My schedule is has recently filled up a bit more, leaving little to no room for new clients. However, you are welcome to contact me to see if I have an opening! I am planning on just walking dogs, so I will help the dogs be as happy and comfortable during our walks as possible by offering treats and letting the dog have fun.

“June can be nervous initially but warmed up to Patrycja quickly! I can tell June enjoyed her walks by the pictures and updates sent! Patrycja really went above and beyond to make sure June was comfortable! We both appreciated the help today! Thank you!”

About: I have years of hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs with big personalities, different needs, and unique emotional backgrounds. I grew up around dogs and am very comfortable caring for them alongside cats — including understanding different energy levels, routines, and communication styles. I don’t just “pet sit”; I focus on understanding each pet as an individual and respecting their boundaries, routines, and communication styles. I’m especially patient with animals who need time to warm up or who have had rough pasts. I take a calm, low-pressure approach and let pets set the pace for trust and interaction. What sets me apart: • 🐾 Experienced with cats and dogs who are: • Shy, anxious, reactive, or easily overstimulated • Food-motivated, demanding, or boundary-testing • 🐾 Comfortable reading body language and respecting “no” signals • 🐾 Experienced with feeding routines, treat schedules, and managing food-related behaviors • 🐾 Patient with seniors and low-energy pets • 🐾 Confident with multi-pet households and managing group dynamics • 🐾 Focused on low-stress handling and emotional well-being • 🐾 Will follow routines exactly as instructed (feeding times, meds if applicable, enrichment, etc.) My goal is to make your pet’s time with me feel as close to their normal routine as possible — not just watched, but genuinely cared for in a calm, respectful way. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I keep a flexible schedule that allows me to plan visits around each pet’s feeding times, walks, and normal routines. I’m able to give pets my full attention during visits rather than rushing through them. I also leave time for updates so owners receive photos and notes about how their pet is doing. respond as soon as possible and appreciate timely communication as well to ensure smooth scheduling and care. Safety and trust come first for me. I follow routines exactly, keep doors secured, respect pet boundaries, and maintain a calm, low-stress environment. I pay close attention to behavior, appetite, and mood changes, and I’ll communicate any concerns promptly. Clear communication is important to me so I can provide the best care possible and keep everything consistent and stress-free. To ensure the best fit for both the pet and owner, I prioritize meet & greets before booking whenever possible.

About: I have experience with caring for pets of all different sizes, ages, and breeds, including multiple pets at one time. As a pet owner myself, I believe that pets are members of our families and deserve to be treated as such and should be given the attention/special care they may need. I cannot wait to meet your fur babies! I am currently in-between jobs, so I am very flexible! Just send me a request and I will accommodate if able to, and will communicate future availability! I am happy to book regularly occurring services. I understand that having a non-family member in a pet's home can be nervewracking for them. I like to try and build trust with your pets right from the start. I will adhere to any special instructions left for me regarding care of your pet, and I will respect any house rules and/or routines that are set by the owner. Plants are living members in our homes too — just send me a message if you have plants you’d like me to water/tend to while I am in your home, free of charge. 😊

“Ariel has been great, she is very patient with our sometime skittish pup,”

About: I have had and been around dogs since I was a child. Dogs seem to come to me naturally; without fear or hesitation. I honestly believe this is because I approach them with ease and am not forceful. It seemed like a natural step for me to join the Rover community. Ive also been a dog owner and currently have Jazzy who is my beloved Boston Terrier Mix with a big personality and sweet nature. Jazzy and I chose each other and its been an adventure ever since day one! she loves everyone but at times can be a little bossy. I'm well aware of who runs the household! I pride myself on ensuring that Jazzy stays healthy by giving her quality food and treats, Along with that she enjoys her fenced in yard and takes daily walks. We have lots of playtime and cuddles. I'll treat your dog as I would my own. That is my motto as I don't want you to worry or be concerned when you are away from your precious fur baby. I can't replace you, or would never try but rest assured your pet will receive all my tender loving care. I have had the opportunity to care for some dogs on Rover who have become regular clients. The owners have told me that they reach out to me first and hope that I am available. That is a huge compliment and I'm honored that I made such an impact on their four legged friend. All the pets I have met have their own unique personality and what I do as a sitter is simply take them for who they are which includes any little quirks. Canine or human, we all possess them. If you like what you see, let's schedule a meet and greet and see if I'm the right fit for your pet and their needs. Thanks for taking the time to get to know me and read my profile! I work remotely on a part time basis so can be available in the afternoon/evening and do pet sitting on the weekends away from my home. Well I make sure my dog Jazzy is loved and cared for each and every day. I give her good food and healthy treats. Daily walks and preventive meds to keep her healthy and strong.

“I booked Tabbie to walk our doggies and she was a lifesaver these past couple of days. Tabbie was very responsive, prompt, courteous and on time. She even asked if I wanted to walk them longer which I appreciated that a lot. A tired dog is a good dog and they were nice and tired. I will definitely be using Tabbie for more dog walks!”

About: I had a senior dog for over 15 years that I took care of! Also fully trained her and loved her. Additionally, I have worked at a barn with horses, cats, and dogs that I have taken care of. :) I am a college student but I am free all days besides Tuesdays and Wednesdays! I can make those days work after 5 pm. Weekends I can do any hours as well for any service. I have a fenced yard and no other pets at my house at the time. I have water bowls and feeders. I also will walk your dog for as long or little as needed because I love walks and runs myself!

“As a repeat customer of Rover, I had no decision to make after sustaining an injury. My challenge is having a young dog over 100lbs. Bob has been great! He’s comfortable handling a @large boy.!” Communication and arrival times have been excellent.Bob’s willingness to work around my schedule has been appreciated!”

“Stephanie did an amazing job working with Winston (who can be quite a handful at times). Communication was easy and direct and she was very accommodating of my ever changing schedule. I would definitely recommend her for your next rover request.”

About: I have two cats and have taken care of numerous friends’ dogs while on vacations. I routinely feed and clean up after my cats. I genuinely enjoy walking and caring for friends’ dogs. I’m currently working full-time from home. I am picking up shifts at a store in the mall as well. I enjoy filling my life with helpful tasks. I am very attentive to any special needs or unique quirks your pet may have. I want to let your pets personality shine and give them encouragement to live happy lives.

“These ladies are very caring and attentive. They provide daily feedback to let me know how Tazer is doing and take pictures and video when they are on their walks. I'm very happy and know Tazer is well cared for when I'm at work.”
