About: Hi there! I’m Morgan — it’s great to meet you! I’m a lifelong animal lover with a lifetime of hands-on experience in pet care. Growing up in a home full of rescues, fosters, and adopted animals, I learned early on how to care for pets of all kinds. That passion led me to start volunteering at local shelters at age 15, something I still do today. I have experience with animals of all species, ages, and health conditions. At home, I care for three beloved pets: an elderly chihuahua I’ve raised since she was a puppy, and two rescue cats I found as newborns. All three require medication, so I’m confident and capable when it comes to administering minor medical care. I truly love all animals and would be honored to care for your pets as if they were my own! I am a remote worker so have an extremely flexible schedule. I also am very active so am happy to have a furry friend tag along on my daily walks. I truly understand how important it is to feel confident and comfortable when inviting someone into your home and trusting them with your furry family members. I want to assure you that I treat every pet and home with the utmost respect, care, and professionalism. Your pets’ safety and happiness are my top priorities, and I always follow any instructions you provide to the letter, whether it’s feeding routines, medication schedules, or favorite toys and snuggle spots. I’m also more than happy to provide updates and photos while you’re away so you can feel at ease knowing your pets are in good hands. I take this responsibility seriously and strive to make the experience as stress-free and positive as possible — both for you and your pets.

“Very reliable and consistent. Christina does great with our pups and they look forward to their time with her. She even walked them in the rain! Thanks so much.”


“Had a chance to meet Cherie ahead of her dog walking visit with Teddy. What a wonderful and engaging person that Teddy immediately was drawn to and gave 4 paws up!!!! He was sad when she left!!!”


About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 4 years, including walking, feeding, and giving them lots of love and attention. I have experience with puppies, adult dogs, and seniors. What sets me apart is my genuine connection with animals and my calm, caring personality. I treat every dog with patience, playfulness, and respect for their unique needs. Caring for pets isn’t just part of my routine; it’s something I truly enjoy and prioritize in my day. My flexible schedule allows me to give each pet the time, love, and full attention they deserve. Whether it’s a walk, mealtime, or just some comforting company, I’m always there to make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for just like you would. When caring for pets, safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I make sure each pet is in a calm, clean, and secure environment where they feel at ease. I follow the pet owner’s instructions carefully, maintain routines, and always treat their home with the same respect I would expect in mine. I build trust by being attentive, patient, and genuinely caring with every pet I meet.

“I greatly appreciated that Krystal was available to take care of Pierre on such short notice! The pictures she took were great. I think he enjoyed the walk with Krystal! I enjoyed the communications from Krystal keeping me updated. I recommend Krystal to other pet owners. She did a terrific job.”


About: Hi, I’m Andy and I have a big soft spot for animals with years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all shapes and sizes. I’ve grown up surrounded by and caring for dogs and cats my whole life, including a now 13 year old Shitzhu named Marley, a lively staffy named Henry, and three legendary cats Alfie, Lucy and Fluffy. I have always loved their company. Over the years, I’ve helped care for the pets of friends and family, treating them like my own and always making sure they feel happy, safe, and loved. Whether your pup needs a good walk, your cat needs some nice company, or your senior pet needs a pal while you're away, I’m happy to help. I believe every animal deserves kindness, patience, and love. I'm excited to meet you and your furry mate! I am currently taking time off work and I love having pets around and caring for them, so I thought why not sign up to Rover to make the most of the free time I have. I am available most days and happy to be flexible with my time. I live in an apartment in a high rise building with a park downstairs opposite the building as well as multiple other parks within the area so plenty of opportunities for walks to stimulate your pet and their energy! I ensure the apartment is kept clean and it is pet safe. If you can provide your pet needs, then I will make sure they are met and your pet really enjoys their stay.

I want the pet to be comfortable and safe in their own home while their owner is away!

“Nicole was prompt, efficient and handled the tasks professionally with care. Our dog Valentino was always happy to see her. Our cat Sohji, who never comes out for guests surprisingly showed up for a cameo pic! This is an indication that even Shoji was comfortable with her presence and care. We recommend Nicole as a competent and caring pet specialist. Nicole will always be our pet care specialist when needed.”

“Paige is great!”



About: Hi! I'm Sydney! I am a 26 year old working in healthcare with a couple months off - so I want to do what I love, care for animals! In the past 6 years I have fostered more than 7 dogs and cats, ranging from 15 days - 2 years old, while we searched for their forever homes. I have raised my dog since he was 5 weeks old so I know all about the puppy phase and energy - he's 4 now and is still running around all the time :). I have experience bottle feeding and potty training! Let me know how I can help! I am at home full time so I can spend as much time as possible with your kiddos! We can do walks as frequently as needed! I have a dog park downstairs and 2 dogs of my own, one independent 7 year old- she's the most patient and friendly girl; and one 4 year old boy who has the funniest personality, is always smiling and loves to play. We have plenty of room to explore and a crate with beds and blankets that can be used if you need for nap time!

“Vadim has walked our 2 dogs twice now. One of our dogs is a rescue and not friendly with strangers, Vadim was able to handle her perfectly. Very communicate and helpful, going above and beyond. Last time was very last minute and so grateful for him to arrive on such short notice when I was at work and my girlfriend had allergies and couldn't go outside.”


“I had a fantastic experience with Agustina! She was available on short notice and even offered a meet and greet beforehand, which gave me great peace of mind. During the visit, she took my dog Arya on her full walk (no shortcuts!), sent plenty of updates and adorable photos, and left a very detailed report afterward. It was clear Arya received so much love and attention—I felt completely worry-free. I will definitely be rebooking Agustina for future visits and recommending her to my friends. Highly recommend!”


“Facundo was great. Prompt an on time everyday and he walked out dogs for 11 days.. dogs cam back happy and with their tails wagging and tongues hanging out. They definitely got their exercise on their walks with Facundo. We will certainly use him again.”


“Robin was the best pet sitter I could have imagined. She helped us out of bind at the last minute and was very easy to communicate with. She made us feel very comfortable pictures and text about each visit. I highly recommend her.”

9. Andrew D.
“Andy is one of the kindest and most patient people I know. For as long as I've known him, he's always been a lover of animals. He never misses a moment to cuddle up to a family's furry friend, play with a strangers pets, and never skips an opportunity to pet sit for friends and family. Pets are like his little companions and he finds genuine pure joy in having them around. They say animals are the best judges of character, and I've never seen an animal not immediately gravitate toward him and sense a friend. From dogs as big as staff's, standard doodles, to toy poodles and small cuddly cats, he truly knows how to be a great companion and caretaker.”
