“Destinee did a great job of walking my dog, Remi! He can be very anxious but he seems very chill with her and she kindly listens to him when he stubbornly does not want to walk for too long, which I very much appreciate!”

About: I’m new to Rover, but I bring 8 years of hands-on experience in pet sitting and dog walking. I have a cat and a large, energetic black lab, so I’m very comfortable handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments, including those that pull, jump, or chase squirrels and birds. I genuinely love animals, and they tend to warm up to me quickly. Currently offering dog walking and drop in services only. I’m a stay at home mom so I have a good amount of time on my hands. Most days are open in the morning, afternoon, and evening except Wednesday and Friday evenings. I care for pets in their own home so they stay comfortable and stress free. I stick to your routine, handle walks, feeding, and playtime, and make sure they get lots of attention. I also send updates so you always know how they’re doing.
“Kim was awesome I needed a last minute dog walker and she responded right away. She was very thoughtful and considerate asking questions about my dog. She kept me notified and sent pictures and she gad a great disposition and personality!! I never met her before and trusted her in my home with my dog and she made me feel reassured and confident I highly recommend her!”

“Rachel takes care of my dog as if he were her own! He is always happy to see her and go on his walks. Rachel gives me peace of mind when I’m working and is very trustworthy!”

“Olivia has been absolutely amazing with my two dogs. I've got a giant breed pup who isn't the easiest to handle (or the smartest), but Olivia has been great with him. She's also been incredibly professional, prompt, and handled the curveballs pets love to throw (like handling when one dog got an upset stomach and had an accident).”

“Bree is always on time, does a full walk, takes photos, knows our two dogs (they both love her), and is so good at all of this that she gets it done with no disruption to our work from home situation. She is exactly what we have been looking for.”

About: I have 5 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I’ve helped friends, family, and neighbors with walking, feeding, bathing, and overnight care. I’m very attentive to each pet’s needs, whether that’s high-energy playtime, structured routines, or gentle care for shy or older dogs. I’m also comfortable following specific instructions, administering basic care, and making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I treat every pet like they’re my own. I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate quality time to your pets. I’m available most weekdays during the day and early afternoons, as well as weekends before and after my shifts. I make sure to plan my schedule around the pets I’m caring for so they get consistent attention, walks, and playtime. I’m also open to working with your routine to make things as smooth as possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always make sure pets are in a secure, clean, and calm environment, whether in my home or yours. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications, and routines. I’m very observant and will keep you updated with messages and photos so you always feel at ease. I create a safe, loving space where your pet can relax, play, and feel cared for.
About: Hi there! 🐾 My partner and I both grew up around dogs, have had our own dogs, and are foster dog parents. We'd love the opportunity to cuddle and take the very best care of your pup. Think of us as your dog's godparents! We know how hard it can be to leave your fur babies. We would love to ease that worry for you and send photos/videos and keep you updated throughout the stay! We both work from home so we will stay with your pet. With our flexible schedule, we'll be able to keep to your dog's normal routine and schedule with walks, potty, meal time, and play time! We have crates, beds, and plenty of treats and toys. We also have a huge fenced-in yard where we can play fetch and run around. I believe dogs need to be stimulated mentally and physically. In addition to getting good exercise through daily walks, I also have lots of toys and balls, sniff mats, lick mats, and food puzzles. I also enjoy training dogs so your dog may come home having learned a new trick!
About: Of course I love animals, but what matters more to me is noticing who your pet actually is. Are they the kind of dog who needs to sniff the same corner for five minutes before moving on? Are they a little shy at first and pretending not to care? Do they get excited easily and need someone calm around them? Are they a cat who wants company, but absolutely not too much company? I really enjoy figuring out those little things. I’m gentle, patient, and very respectful of each pet’s routine. I don’t believe in rushing them or treating every animal the same. Some pets need play and attention, some need slow walks and quiet reassurance, and some just need someone kind nearby so the house does not feel empty. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in a way that still feels familiar to them. I’m also very careful with instructions. Feeding routines, medications, walk preferences, favorite toys, things that scare them, how they like to be greeted, whether they are allowed on the couch. I want to know all of it. I know these details are not “extra.” They are usually the things that make a pet feel secure. I’ll also send updates and photos, not just to say everything is fine, but so you can actually feel connected to them while you are away. My childhood friend and roommate, Matin, may also help me sometimes, and you may see her in some of my photos. She has had pets since childhood and fostered animals for several years, so she is very used to different personalities, nervous pets, affectionate pets, and animals who need a little extra patience. She is calm, loving, and very responsible, and I trust her completely with animals. Between the two of us, your pet will be cared for by people who genuinely like being around animals, but who also understand that trust matters. I’ll treat your pet with warmth, patience, and care, and I’ll treat your home and instructions with respect. This year, much of my work is remote, which gives me real flexibility in my schedule. That means I’m able to spend unrushed, attentive time with pets, not just quick check-ins, but actual companionship, care, and presence. I can shape my day around walks, visits, feeding times, play, and quiet company, depending on what each pet needs. My childhood friend and roommate, Matin, who is included in the pictures, also helps me out with my Rover schedules. My home is my cat Lilo’s safe little kingdom, so I can’t host other pets here. But I’m very happy to come to your home, meet outside for walks, or figure out a setup that feels easy and comfortable for you and your pet.

About: Ive been training and around animals almost my entire life and it’s something I take pride in. I have two dogs of my own as well. I currently train athletes and coach, so my time right now is pretty open during the normal work hours. My mornings and afternoons are free I am a very respectful and responsible person and I will respect your home and animals. Nothing that is not supposed to be tampered with, will not
“Andrea is doing wonderfully with our dog Bear. Bears a little shy around new people but she took right to Andrea and is excited every time she comes to our home. Andrea is also incredibly flexible and a joy to work with. Highly recommend.”

About: My sincere enthusiasm and practical expertise with dogs of all ages and demands are what make me unique as a dog sitter. I've been taking care of friends' and family's dogs for more than two years, making sure they were content, protected, and loved while their owners were gone. Additionally, I've volunteered at a number of animal shelters, where I've learned how to deal with dogs of all temperaments and needs—from energetic pups to elderly dogs in need of more care and attention. I've loved dogs my entire life, and I know how important it is to treat each one as though it were my own. I'm here to provide dependable, caring care that is customized to your dog's needs, whether it be companionship, following a training schedule, or making sure your dog is active and comfortable. As a college student, pet care fits perfectly into my daily and weekly routine because I have regular breaks throughout the day and a very flexible schedule. Whether it’s between classes or after school, I can dedicate my time to caring for your dog, ensuring they get the attention and care they need. My frequent trips back and forth from school give me the opportunity to check in on your pet multiple times a day if needed, making it easy to accommodate walks, feeding, playtime, and more. I’ve designed my schedule to prioritize flexibility, allowing me to provide reliable, loving care for your furry friend whenever it’s needed. I keep homes clean, maintain pets' routines, provide basic grooming if needed, and ensure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved during my care always!

I also cat sit - I’ve got a kitty of my own with a big personality so any kind of cat is welcomed! I have an extremely flexible schedule that I can change weekly if needed!

I never met her before and trusted her in my home with my dog and she made me feel reassured and confident I highly recommend her!

Barbara is an excellent dog walker and we will go back to her time and time again. She works very well with our shy border collie and took the time to get to know him (3 visits!) before our first actual paid visit. She is very punctual and communicative which we really appreciate.

Kevin is wonderful. Having a difficult dog, can leave you with limited options. Kevin has the patience and kindness that is just what’s needed to get our Brooke leashed up and out for a walk. Once out, I believe she’s well behaved, it’s the initial excitement and new people gets her stirred up. Also, all instructions are followed as I worry if my single dog gets into the area my other 2 dogs there could be an issue. This is the 3rd walk w Kevin. I’m very happy and I can feel confident at work knowing all of our dogs are well cared for… Thanks again Kevin!

Emilio was wonderful, we are so thankful for all of his help. He was a great communicator when updates happen. I loved the Rover card updates, and amazing pictures that Emilio took, during each visit. Odie the dachshund was so very happy in all of the pictures and was spoiled by Emilio! Odie, and his siblings the sleepy cat, turtles, tortoises and fish all loved Emilio visiting them!
