“Samara was great with my furbabies! They get very hyper and excited when they meet new people and handle them very well. I know they’re in good hands when I’m not around.”

About: Since growing up at a young age, I’ve always had a pet by my side and now that I love daily unconditionally. If there is one thing I can teach them is to get along with others animals as well as people. My patience and understanding will keep them thriving and healthy. I only want to give them more than they need. I am available 5 days of the week to care for your pet, including the weekend if needed! After all, someone has to be there for them. No pet under my supervision has ever been in harms way. I have a big cage with food and water. Pet toys, cleaning supplies, and pet proof items to keep them safe.
“Tameka and her daughter Maddy, were one of the best hosts that we have had. Zeeba was a little nervous but they were patient and let warm up to them. Tameka helped me Out when I needed to be resting instead of walking. Zeeba got lots of treats and pets. We will use them again”

About: Animals have always held a special place in my heart, especially dogs and, more recently, cats! Growing up, I couldn’t have a pet of my own, so I found joy in caring for the pets of neighbors, friends, and family members. Whether it was feeding them, bathing them, playing with them, or simply keeping them company, spending time with animals has always been a grounding and joyful learning experience. That same love for animals has led me to pursue another childhood dream: learning to horseback ride! A few years ago, I was lucky enough to have a feisty black German Shepherd named Zurro by my side. He gave me the opportunity to learn firsthand what it means to raise a puppy with love, patience, and proper guidance. I know how much our furry and furless friends mean to us, and I understand how important it is to know they’re in good hands. I’m observant, adaptable, and intentional in my care. I’m happy to meet each pet where they are, whether that means going on a long walk, enjoying an energetic play session, or providing a little extra company and cuddles. I’m committed to honoring your pet’s unique personality, needs, and routines so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether you need a walking buddy for your pup, drop-in visits for your pets, or someone to house-sit and keep them company, I’d love to give your best friend the care and attention they deserve!
About: As a woman In her 40s, in addition to growing up with a German Shepard/Husky mix, I’ve had years of experience with dogs. In 2019, My daughter & I added a new addition to our family which is known as Our Chihuahua Mellow 🎀! With that being said, I have experience with pups ranging in Age, Breed & Size. I work part-time , so I have plenty of time to care for your pups. I’d prefer any bookings with atleast a 2-3 day notice so I can adjust my schedule and take care of your fur babies to the best of my abilities! 🐶 I have a Fenced in backyard that allows the dogs to play on a Safe & confined space. I also have a large crate if needed.
About: Hi, I have had a lot of experience with my own pets, as I have had dogs all of my life, in addition to dog sitting that I have done on the side in previous years. I am such a pet lover and I am really looking forward to this experience, especially since I work 100% remote. Some things that distinguish me from other people is that I am open to learning, so new experiences and situations come easily to me. Secondly, I am extremely caring, especially when it comes to other people's animals, since I understand what its like to leave your pet in the care of somebody else. I am also easy to work with and have no issues communicating through any possible issues. Working 100% remote allows me the flexibility to integrate pet care seamlessly into my daily routine. I can take short breaks throughout the day to attend to my dog’s needs, whether it’s a quick walk, some playtime, or feeding. I also make time for longer walks in the morning and late afternoon, which gives both of us a refreshing break and helps my dog stay active. Being remote means I can adapt my schedule to ensure they get the care and attention they need without interrupting my work flow. In my home, I provide pets with a comfortable and spacious environment where they feel right at home. My 3-bedroom house offers plenty of room for pets to explore and relax, and I have a fenced-in backyard that allows for safe, supervised outdoor play. I prioritize creating a nurturing and engaging environment, ensuring pets have ample attention, playtime, and exercise. For walks, feeding, and any specific needs they may have, I tailor my routine to each pet’s preferences. If caring for pets in a client’s home, I keep their routines consistent, providing the same level of personalized care and attention to ensure they feel secure and happy in their familiar environment.
About: I just started doing rover because I love animals and I also work from home so I have plenty of time to spoil your baby! I have a boxer of my own that gets along with other animals and is very energetic so we go outside around our complex all the time. I respond very fast and send pictures throughout the day! Even though I live in an apartment, there’s over a thousand sq ft for them to run around in when they’re inside. I will walk your dog for as long as you need me to and do drop in visits as well. Since I do have a pup of my own you can be assured I will give yours all the love, snuggles, and care they need! Plus I work with each individual dog according to their own needs! Just shoot me a message and we can discuss further. Im currently doing hybrid for work so I’m home most days during the week so your fur baby will get plenty of attention & outside time! I never let dogs off the leash when they’re with me & I always maintain control on walks. Always do separate feedings & I pay attention to your pet’s body language to make sure they’re always comfortable in my care. I work from home full time so I have a very flexible schedule to care for your loved fur baby & work around your schedule as well! We can do a meet & greet before hand so your pet feels more comfortable with me. Whenever I do drop ins I always make sure that your fur baby is comfortable with my presence & I watch the door as I leave so they can’t escape.
“Kalani is wonderful! She is reliable, communicative and great with our pups. She is really wonderful with our higher-maintenance dog who is a runner and quite a barker. She is patient with him and takes great care to make sure he’s safe and secure. Best of all, we never have to worry about our pups on the days she’s scheduled to walk them. We’re so grateful! Thank you, Kalani!”

About: I grew up in Jamaica with 6 dogs that I loved dearly. I've been taking care of them since I was 9 and they're literally family to me. I have a genuine love for my fur babies and that's why I've decided to go to Veterinary School so I can learn more about these lovely fellas. I also volunteer at foster centers just to bring dogs out to explore the world as they deserve while they wait for their new families. I'm a part-time employee and part-time student with a lot of spare time on Tuesdays and Thursdays that I will happily use towards giving your pets the best time ever. When walking dogs, I prefer to keep them in an open non-crowded area away from potential threats (animals and humans). I tend to be hyper vigilant as I understand my responsibility and priority of keeping your pets safe. If they're meeting other dogs, I shorten the leash and always watch out for signs of discomfort or aggression. Lastly, I'll ensure your pets are fully hydrated during their walks.
“I couldn't ask for a better person to walk my pup Ollie. This was our first time trying out Rover so we didn't know what to expect and Erick gave us comfort the first day we've met him. 10/10, very patient and communicates quick when we have a question about anything relating to Ollie.”

“Tandy was super professional and kind. I lived a little out of the ways but she was happy to come by and take care of our dog. I scheduled her for a walk and she still came and walked her in the RAIN and got soaking wet. Even got my dog a towel and dried her off. Definitely will be booking her again. True heart of gold and very helpful.”


About: Absolutely — the experience is strong. I’d make it sound a little more polished while keeping your personality and making you stand out on Rover: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 13, and I truly treat every pet like they’re my own. 🐾💙 I have experience with proper nutrition and feeding, exercise, long walks, basic puppy training, and caring for pets with different personalities and needs. I’ve also cared for sick pets that required insulin injections and medication, so I understand how important it is to follow their routines and pay attention to even the smallest changes. I’m also experienced with dogs who may display aggressive or reactive behaviors. I understand that aggression can be triggered by fear, stress, anxiety, or other situations, and I take the time to learn each dog’s triggers and boundaries to keep everyone safe and comfortable. And there’s more—I’m a professional dog groomer! ✂️🐶 So whether your furry baby needs exercise, companionship, medication, a little training, or a fresh new look, I’ve got you covered. Think of me as your pet’s one-stop shop for love, care, and everything in between! 🐾💙 My schedule fluctuates often but rest assured, I balance my time and devote myself to my clients.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - District Heights
Tameka and her daughter Maddy, were one of the best hosts that we have had. Zeeba was a little nervous but they were patient and let warm up to them. Tameka helped me Out when I needed to be resting instead of walking. Zeeba got lots of treats and pets. We will use them again

Cayla was the best! She was timely, professional, and so kind and loving to my Bodie. Bodie can have a lot of energy and be a puller on walks, but she was patient with him and made sure to take long walks to get all of his energy out. I will definitely continue to book with her in the future. Thanks Cayla!

Bria continues to be amazing! She’s always reliable, takes great care of Luna, and goes above and beyond. During this visit, Luna wasn’t feeling well and had a couple of accidents. Bria took the time to clean everything up and make sure everything was taken care of, even though she didn’t have to. I really appreciate the extra care and attention she gives every time. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and compassionate dog walker!

Clarice did a wonderful job with Roscoe. He connected with her easily on the meet and greet, where she asked and learned about his quirks and personality. She accepted a somewhat last-minute request, and she treated him well! Highly recommend her and hope to use her services again in the future!

Alysha has been walking my dog for a few weeks now and she does a wonderful job! She's very attentive to my baby's needs and always communicates clearly & quickly. She has been super dependable. It's such a relief to have someone I can rely on to take care of my girl while I'm at work!
