“Estefania was wonderful. She always arrived punctually and took Mr. Bean for his full walk and gave me feedback about it. She asked questions when needed since she was new to us, and showed affection towards Mr. Bean, who absolutely loved her. I am so glad to have met her and will definitely be using her again in the future if she agrees.”


“Needed someone last minute and Tracy was so much help! Thank you so much for taking Luna for a walk and for all the pictures. It was my first time using Rover and I was so satisfied with her! You’re awesome Tracy”


“Jennifer is great! Super flexible, which works great for our ever changing schedule. Our dogs love her, and they are much more content and relaxed now that they are getting regular walks.”


About: I have been caring for dogs my entire life. I am a previous employee at an animal hospital as well. I have had 10 dogs! I am experienced with dogs of all sizes. I currently own a Chesapeake Bay retriever, a shipoo, a shitzu/Maltese mix, a mini maltipoo, a mini aussiepoo, and a Pomeranian! I am confident that your dog will be safe with me! I am flexible with my availability. Being a dog owner is amazing and I couldn’t live without one. Dogs are a 24/7 companion. I take my dog to the park everyday and run her around for at least 25 minutes each time. She always naps for hours afterwards. I’d love to get to know your pet! I recently quit my corporate job because the corporate life is rough, so coming back to rover after a few years of being too busy for life! I recently quit my job, so I am free as a be I have my own dogs to take care of, but there is always time for others as well. Always have my eyes on them and make sure there is nothing that they can get into that would be dangerous. Chances are we’ll be playing the entire time!

“Anna has been great with our dog Hershey, who can be anxious around new people. She’s patient and understanding, taking the time to make Hershey feel comfortable. We appreciate her reliability and the updates she provides after each walk. Highly recommend!”


About: Hi im Angela, I got my first pup when I was 11 (beagle/border collie mix) and my first cat when I was 13 (grey American shorthair), I’ve pet sat for and walked different dogs and cats in my neighborhood/for family members since i was 12 and it’s always been something that’s brought me a ton of joy! I have experience giving oral medication and doing basic grooming (bathing, ear cleaning, paw wiping) and I’m good with dogs and cats of all ages, from kitties/puppies to seniors. If you let me care for your fur baby, they will surely be cared for like they’re one of my own! I currently work another job but my schedule is pretty flexible and can be moved around easily to come help out with any of your pups/cats needs. For safety and peace of mind, I always make sure to follow any instructions left/given as closely as possible, and I always contact the owner If there are any issues unless otherwise noted. As well as sending photos and updates upon request.

About: Hi, I’m Alek! I grew up alongside both dogs and cats, and now there’s no one I’d rather spend time with. I have lots of experience with dogs, ranging from young adults to seniors and everything in between. I’m particularly good with large pups, I had 4 German Shepherd Dogs throughout my childhood. I also have abundant experience with cats. On top of having an adorable kitty of my own (Stella), I used to help foster stray kittens and place their mothers in loving forever homes. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets! I have very open availability. Outside of Wednesdays I’m available for house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking at any hour you may want or need. The only holiday I consistently travel for is Independence Day. My grandpa, a lifelong veterinarian, taught me the patience to take a moment and truly try to understand what our furry companions are telling us. They may not talk, but they are avid communicators. Also, as someone who has hired plenty of pet sitters, I know how important frequent updates are, so I will make sure to keep you posted as much as you want.

About: I have a deep genuine love for all animals. I absolutely love dogs, I have experience with big overly energetic dogs and small ones as well. I’m very energetic, caring and compassionate so I know your pet will enjoy it’s time with me. I like to stay fit so walking with your pet won’t just be a job but a fun enjoyable activity. I have a lot of patience with dogs and cats. I have cat handling training and I also have my own 3yr old cat. I have a free schedule I’m very understanding and flexible when it comes to time and availability. I’m a naturally caring and nurturing person so giving your pet any type of special care won’t be a problem for me.

“Sam never fails to go above and beyond with her care. She gives long walks and even takes extra time to sit and give pets and love afterwards (and even checks food and water, how nice!) Our dogs absolutely adore her and she's always so helpful and gives us such peace of mind that our lil pups are in the best of hands. We honestly feel so lucky to have found such a reliable and trustworthy walker to keep our dogs happy while we're away!”


About: Bring your fur-baby into our home and it will be like he/she is on vacation! We are a pet loving family who has a 6 year old Doberman Pinscher who loves to cuddle and a 16 year old cat who pretty much minds her own business 😊 My boyfriend and I love to travel and our dobie has a bit of anxiety at boarding, so we know how hard it is to find a trusting person to watch your pet(s). We will send pictures and updates during your pets stay so you never have to worry while you're away! We've had family and friends dogs spend the day/night/weekend ranging from Shih Tzus and Dachshunds to German Shepherds and Labradors. All pets will feel right at home! I work from home on most days (I go in once a week, but the day is not always the same) so I can spend time with your fur-baby and provide the utmost care. And, we have a huge fenced in yard for any pup to play. Our Doberman takes a daily medication and she's needed eyedrops in the past, so I am also well versed in administering pills and eyedrops, if needed. We'd love to build trust with you and your pet so everyone has comfort during the stay! Please let me know if you have any question and thank you for your consideration! I work from home most days (I go in once a week, but the day is not always the same) and most weekends we are home, if not, usually one of us will be home to care for your fur-baby. Our dog has 2 feedings a day (8:30am and 8:30pm), but feeding times for your pet will be per your instructions! We have a fenced yard, so dogs will be let out regularly and walked at least once a day (1 mile or distance per your instructions). When we aren't playing, our house has tons of space to roam around in and multiple couches and dog beds to lounge on! We have a fenced yard and dogs will always be supervised while playing outside. We are happy to accommodate feeding schedules, dietary restrictions and walking/exercise routines per your request.

About: hi everyone! I have been an active dog sitter for the past 10 years. I have sat for several families and have a handful of references if needed. I have cared for puppies to elderly dogs as well as cats. I am comfortable with all animals and taking care of your pet is something I am especially passionate about! Please feel free to reach out if you think I would be a good fit. I am a teacher and have plenty of availability this summer! I’m a teacher who is off all summer and looking to fill some time! I am pretty flexible and open most days for any service. I can provide references as needed. I love to help as much as I can or am able. Please reach out if you have any questions!

About: If you are looking for someone to love your furbaby as much as you, you have found the her! I will give your furbaby or furbabies so much love and attention. I will play, walk, love and clean up after them. If your furbaby stays at my home, they will be welcome to anything you wish. If they are bed sleepers, they can sleep on my bed. If they are allowed on furniture at your house, they are allowed on my furniture. They will feel just as protected, comfortable and loved as at your home. I am 52 years old, married with no children. I have worked as a Legal Assistant for 32 years. My pets are my children. I have been a pet sitter for the past 5 years for family and friends of family.

“Alek took excellent care of our dogs for 3 weeks while we were relocating to Florida. Our fur babies have specific needs and he gave us regular updates and photos to ensure they were happy and well cared for the entire time we were away.

We felt completely at ease knowing they were in his care and he is the first person we call whenever we need a pet sitter!”
