“Stacie walked and fed our dogs twice a day for 3 days while we were out of town. She was very patient gaining the trust of our two frenchies and even cleaned up after them if accidents occurred in our home. She took pictures and gave detailed reports after every walk. We were so surprised she got our suspicious girl frenchie to like her just after a couple of walks. We’ll definitely be booking with her in the future!”

About: Hi, I’m Shams! I’ve been around animals my entire life and genuinely enjoy spending time with pets of all personalities and energy levels. Whether your dog needs a long walk, extra playtime, or simply companionship while you’re away, I’m committed to providing attentive and reliable care. I work remotely, which allows me to have a flexible schedule and be available throughout the day. This means your pet receives plenty of attention, supervision, potty breaks, exercise, and care while you’re away. I understand that every pet has unique needs and routines. I take the time to learn their preferences and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and happy. Whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, or administering basic medications, I strive to maintain the routine your pet is used to. I also provide regular photo and video updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. My goal is simple: to treat every pet like family and provide the same level of care I would want for my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend! I work remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide reliable pet care throughout the day. I’m available for morning, midday, evening, and weekend walks and visits. Because I’m home most of the time, I can respond quickly to messages and provide regular updates, photos, and videos so you always know how your pet is doing. Safety is my top priority. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I follow their routine closely and make sure they have fresh water, food, exercise, and plenty of attention. I maintain a clean, pet-friendly environment and always keep pets secure during walks and visits. I also take the time to learn each pet’s personality, preferences, and any special care instructions.
“Melanie (Mel) is an awesome dog walker. She was patient with our two pups and always on time. She has a very calming energy around dogs and it's obvious from the first time you meet her that she is a true animal lover. Thanks Mel!”

About: I treat every pet like they’re my own. I naturally connect with animals, even the shy or anxious ones, because I’m calm, patient, and pay attention to their body language. Whether it’s high-energy play or quiet companionship, I adjust to what they need. I have experience with: • Senior pets (slow walks, meds, joint care) • Giving oral medications and maintaining routines • Creating a low-stress, loving environment while you’re away More than just walking or feeding, I focus on building trust so your pet feels safe, happy, and loved. You’ll always get updates and honest communication from me, so you can fully relax. As a nursing student with an active lifestyle, pet care is a grounding and joyful part of my week. Walks with dogs keep me moving, and quiet time with cats helps relieve stress from my studies. I’m organized, reliable, and love incorporating feeding, playtime, and even litter box duties into my routine. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it genuinely helps me recharge and stay balanced. I care for pets like they’re my own, whether I’m in my home or yours. For house sitting, I keep routines consistent—feeding, walks, meds, and lots of love—while also respecting and maintaining your space. During walks or drop-ins, I focus on quality time: bathroom breaks, play, meals, and anything your pet needs to feel secure and seen. For cats, I clean litter boxes daily, monitor their behavior, and offer attention on their terms—whether that’s play, cuddles, or quiet companionship. I always leave things clean, calm, and exactly how you left them. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out!
About: My goal as your pet’s sitter is to be attentive to and anticipate your fur baby’s needs while their person is away. Growing up, I always loved animals and took care of hamsters, cats, and dogs. I am gentle and loving while allowing the animal to take the lead with contact. I always respect animals’ autonomy and will always strive to make them feel comfortable and safe. I am available to become your regular go-to sitter or a helping hand when you need one on occasion! My schedule is flexible and can accommodate your pet’s care as you need it to! Your furry family members are my top priority as you are away. I will ensure your pet sticks to their routine as you dictate it and feels comfortable despite your absence. Additionally, I will make sure to spend quality time with your pets so they don’t feel too emotionally distressed while their person is away.
“Thank you for walking him! I loved all the pics you provided as well. It’s not you! we’ve been working on the potty outside but he’s on his own agenda lol i appreciate it! let’s try again tomorrow if you’re free? same time?”

About: I am a student with lots of flexibility in my schedule, and I love dogs, especially big dogs because I can match their adventurous energy. I have 5 years of experience walking and caring for neighbors and friends pets. My dog, Denali, is 13 years old and loves to go on walks and smell around every mailbox and flower! I have cared for him as he has grown from being young and active to now struggling to walk too far, so I have experience with all stages of life. I have an extremely flexible schedule. I am able to offer dog walking and stop by care anytime most days. I can also offer overnight care most nights. I am available to book for dog walking, stop by care, and overnight care! I am quite allergic to cats (unfortunately) so please no cats.

“Andrea is super nice and was amazing with our dog. Jack is sometimes not the easiest to get along with but Andrea made him feel like we hadn't even left. We will definetly be using Andrea in the future!!”

“Danielle is the absolute best!! She’s a great communicator and takes care of my puppers very well. I’m so happy to have found her here. Thank you so much.”


“Caroline was booked on a last minute booking and was extremely accommodating. She came over a few days before hand to meet my pup and allow them to become acclimated to each other during their walk. Caroline was very communicative and responsive to my inquiries as well.”

About: I’ve been around dogs for most of my life and genuinely enjoy caring for them. My family has had our dog, Othello (a schnauzer mix), since 2013, so I’m very familiar with daily routines like feeding, walking, and making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for at home. In 2019, I also helped co-parent and train a pitbull named Bella, where I focused on reinforcing good behavior, consistency, and building trust. That experience taught me patience and how to understand a dog’s needs and personality. I’ve also cared for pets belonging to friends and family, so I’m comfortable adjusting to different temperaments, routines, and energy levels. What sets me apart is that I’m very attentive, calm, and reliable. I take the time to make sure each pet feels safe and cared for, and I always treat them with the same level of attention I would give my own. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, especially since I’m currently finishing college online, which gives me a flexible schedule throughout the week. This allows me to plan my day around walks, check-ins, and feeding times without feeling rushed. I’m available on both weekdays and weekends, and I’m able to adjust to different schedules depending on the pet’s needs. I also make sure to leave enough time between commitments so I can give each pet my full attention and provide consistent care. I take pet care seriously and treat it as a real responsibility, so you can count on me to be reliable, communicative, and attentive. When caring for pets, I always focus on creating a safe, calm, and consistent environment that matches what they’re used to. I take the time to understand their routine, including feeding schedules, walks, and any specific behaviors or needs, so they feel as comfortable as possible. In a pet owner’s home, I’m very respectful of their space and make sure everything is kept clean and in order. I follow all instructions closely and make sure pets are supervised, safe, and secure at all times. I’m also very attentive to small details, like making sure doors and gates are properly closed, pets are not exposed to anything unsafe, and their environment stays clean especially with things like food areas and litter boxes. Communication is really important to me, so I always send regular updates and photos to keep pet owners informed and reassured while they’re away. My goal is to make sure both the pet and the owner feel completely comfortable and at ease.
“Alice is reliable and caring. Her calm nature is good for my high-energy dog. Coco remembered Alice even though it had been months since Alice walked. Coco was VERY happy to see her!”

“Luke is awesome! Both of my dogs really liked him and one is a very skittish rescue. He was very patient with her when she was scared to come out of her crate. He even ran with my dogs a bit. Highly recommend him!”

Downtown dog parents share their Rover experiences
Shams was wonderful with our pup! She was very attentive, reliable, and easy to communicate with throughout the process. I always appreciated the updates and knew our dog was in good hands. She followed instructions carefully and made the whole experience easy. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable walker or sitter.

Melissa has been great so far. My dog loves her (and my cat) and she sends lots of cute photos and reviews for each walk. She was able to navigate some issues with my buildings old elevator seamlessly and I trust that she has everything under control while I am at work. I recommend her to anyone looking for help with their pets.
Caroline was booked on a last minute booking and was extremely accommodating. She came over a few days before hand to meet my pup and allow them to become acclimated to each other during their walk. Caroline was very communicative and responsive to my inquiries as well.

Rebecca helped me with recurring visits when my work was busy and she was such a huge help! She was flexible with my schedule each week and very reliable. She took great care of my dog and was very friendly and easy to work with. I would definitely recommend her to a friend!
