“I had such a great experience with Skye’s walk! The service was attentive and thoughtful from start to finish. Skye came back happy, calm, and well-exercised, and I could tell she was cared for with patience and attention to detail. I really appreciated the updates and the way her needs were prioritized. Highly recommend!”

About: I have pet sit two cute poodle mixes for 10 days recently and also pet sit a medium sized dog for the weekend. My sister has two large dogs with whom I have spent a lot of time! I love spending time with dogs and cats! I assure you that your pets will get a lot of play time! I go to office twice a week so I am available on most days. I am also available on weekends and weekday evenings. So, I have a pretty flexible schedule. I live in an apartment complex with place to walk dogs. It is a 2 bedroom apartment. It is a dog friendly community but has breed restrictions. Cats are welcome!
“RJ took great care of Remy on his walk. He’s communicative, friendly, and transparent about everything. It’s my first time using Rover and it can be stressful finding someone to trust your fur baby with but I instantly felt comfortable with RJ and most importantly Remy did. He sent photos and videos throughout the walk which I loved.”

“Paige was very responsive & accommodating with our last minute request, and took great care of our dog Kiara during her walk. She was very gentle with Kiara, & it was evident that Kiara loved her walk. Will definitely be booking Paige again!”


About: Hi fur family! I’m a lifelong animal lover who has had the joy of loving dogs from all sizes: from chihuahuas to beagles to labs. I know how important your fur baby is, and since I work with children during the week, I'm full of patience and know how to handle all kinds of personalities with a calm and caring touch. I also love sending photo updates, so you’ll never be far from the fun. I can’t wait to meet you and treat your pup like my own! I’m currently in college and work with children during the weekdays, but I’ve kept my weekends open so that you can have a fun time out knowing your pup is in good hands! I am patient and calm all while maintaining my pup’s routines, such as regular feeding times and exercise. I am also an early bird so I would have no problem taking your pup out for their first walk of the day!
“Kruti is very friendly and accommodating. She was nice to spend her time with my my fur friend during the meet and greet. We are lucky to have found her and will continue for future visits/walks ?”
About: Hi!! My name is Aurora and I’m so excited to take care of your furr baby or babies! I have years of experience taking care of a wide range of pets from cats to big and small breed doggies. I love animals and believe they are a member of the family and should be treated as such! I have been relied on for walking my friends and neighbors doggies, cat sitting, and routine check ins to ensure that their fur babies are happy, healthy and, most of all, not lonely! As you can see from my pictures, my partner and I have three amazing fur babies, two of which are cats and one big doggy. Our two cats are Hela and Athena and our big goofy fluff ball of a doggie is named Loki. Because I raised my little family members from babies, I am more than comfortable taking care of puppies or kittens also! Pet care fits easily into my schedule—I’m in school Monday–Wednesday from 12–6 PM, leaving mornings, evenings, and the rest of the week open for walks, drop-ins, and overnight care. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s usual routine—feeding, walks, play, and any special instructions—so they feel secure and cared for in their familiar space.
“Charlene is absolutely wonderful with our dog! She’s our go-to for walks three days a week and has been incredibly reliable and attentive. She communicates clearly, always gives thoughtful updates, and I can tell she genuinely cares. I always feel confident that our dog is safe and well taken care of when he’s with her. Highly recommend!”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and a proud dog mom to a 11-year-old Chihuahua mix (Moocow) and an 8-year-old Husky(Maya). I previously hosted on Rover but took a two-year hiatus to focus entirely on Maya’s recovery following a major lung surgery. Now that she is healthy, I am thrilled to open my home to guest pups again! Working from home five days a week allows me to provide 100% supervision and companionship. Because Moocow is slowing down, Maya is looking for new playmates! It’s the perfect setup: your dog gets a built-in best friend for exercise and socialization, and I get to provide the high-quality care every pup deserves. Whether your dog is a high-energy athlete like Maya or a relaxed senior like Moocow, I have the experience and the heart to make them feel right at home. I am currently working full-time but I work from home 5 days a week. I can provide services such as boarding, day care, and walks. We live in a spacious 1,200 sq. ft. apartment with a secure, fenced-in patio. We’re big on walks here, usually 3 to 4 times a day for about 20–30 minutes each. If the weather is nice and not too toasty for those paws, we love to stay out even longer to explore!

“Jessica is the type of person you want to care for your furry friends. She is nice, compassionate and attentive to my dogs needs. Jessica has experience working with senior dogs and is very patient with my 15 year old pup. I am so grateful Rover helped me find her. Book Jessica!”

“Fatima was very responsive and quick with the booking process. She communicated well and was gracious in accepting a last minute request. She arrived on time and didn't have any difficulty managing my big dog. Kristal (my dog) was super happy and pleasantly tired the rest of the day. Thank you Fatima.”


About: I’ve lived with animals my whole life: dogs, cats, fish, rodents, parakeet. My sister is a marine mammal trainer, and I appreciate the advice she’s shared about shaping behavior and interpreting body language. I have yet to meet a dog I don’t like (and vice versa!) I’m a physician assistant student finishing up my degree in May. I currently have a lot of flexibility with scattered zoom classes and studying. Looking for pet sitting or walks to break up the studying ◡̈ Pets need love, attention, and patience. I walk my mom’s dog daily and tend to all her grooming (and of course give her lots of pets).

About: I provide expert, heart-centered care for all ages—from puppy training and "zoomies" to gentle senior medication and mobility support. Your pet's safety and happiness come first. Pet care fits seamlessly into my part-time schedule. I dedicate mornings, evenings, and weekends to focused walks, puppy play, and senior care, ensuring your pet’s routine stays consistent. I provide a consistent environment with safe, supervised play, frequent potty breaks, and cozy rest areas. I strictly follow your home rules and medication schedules.
About: I have experience in taking care of cats and dogs for my friends and family. I have a Persian cat and I have been living with him for 3 years. I am currently doing it for part-time. My time is relatively flexible. I will be available in weekdays more. Sometimes weekend works too with earlier appointments. I love playing and talking with them like a friend. Sometimes they would ask for pat or hug and my cat does, but I would be more careful with my friends’ pets. I love giving them treats when playing. But my cat doesn’t like treats haha.
“It was such a pleasure to watch Kathleen interact with my dog. She knew exactly what to do and Aubree warmed up to her immediately. I feel confident having her walk my dog. Thanks, Kathleen.”
About: I currently work as a Vet Assistant which means I have plenty of experience handling and caring for cats and dogs. I am familiar with any health issue that may come up with your dog and will promote their well-being. Working in the ER, I know how to deal with many diseases so I can ensure your loved one is well taken care of. I can proficiently administer oral and injectable medications if needed. Aside from my medical background, I enjoy exercise and spending time outdoors and will therefore ensure that your pet is well taken care of physically through runs, walks, hikes- whatever it is that they enjoy. I've been a dog owner since I was a young kid and have always loved spending time with the four legged creatures. I will ensure that your pet is loved as if they were my very own pet. I work 4 days a week, 10 hours but am still available to drop by if needed either in the mornings or evening or in between work if it’s nearby.

Allowing them to have their routine. I will ensure I don’t disturb their usual spots and allow them to roam as they are allowed regularly.
“Jill was wonderful walking my two dogs. She made sure that they took proper water breaks and sent pictures during the walks. She also fed them after their walk and administered their diet of special foods. She was super flexible working with my last minute schedule changes. I highly recommend her. Will definitely use her again in the future. Thank you Jill.”

Jill is an amazing dog walker for my dog, Oscar. She was incredibly gentle, welcoming, and clearly has a natural way with dogs. Oscar absolutely had a blast on his walks with her and always came back happy and relaxed. I’d highly recommend Jill to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their pup!

We had a wonderful experience with Katherine caring for our two senior dogs. Finding someone you truly trust with senior dogs isn’t easy, and she exceeded our expectations. She spent real quality time with them, was incredibly attentive, and made sure one of them received their medication properly. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such caring and responsible hands. We would absolutely recommend Katherine and will definitely continue using her services in the future. Thanks!
Fatima is experienced with dogs that are not as well socialized, and she was able to walk my dog Kuma on a short notice so I was so grateful. She left our home the same way as before, and she came on time and took a lot of pictures of the walk. It’s everything I could have asked for honestly. I will definitely ask for her service again in the future! Thanks Fatima :)
Jessica is the type of person you want to care for your furry friends. She is nice, compassionate and attentive to my dogs needs. Jessica has experience working with senior dogs and is very patient with my 15 year old pup. I am so grateful Rover helped me find her. Book Jessica!

Highly recommend!
