About: I cared for a dog for three years. Also, I run at least six miles each morning, and so I have the physical stamina to keep up with any dog. I’m available at almost all times throughout the day to give your pet the care and the walk they need. Even if it’s early in the morning. I’m an attorney who has cared for a dog before. This was from 2018 until 2022. I’m compassionate, fit, healthy, and ready to work with your dog.

Pamela did an excellent job walking Maeve and Freyja for the first time. She carefully followed all of my instructions, kept me updated with great communication, and made me feel confident they were in good hands. My dogs took to her right away, and it's clear she has a natural way with animals—I would happily book her again! She even took the time to clean their toe beans after walking them.

Anne was kind and knowledgeable and made my first Rover experience positive one. I have a small breed dog with leash reactivity so having someone other than myself walking him makes me nervous, but Anne relieved me of my concerns. I would definitely use her again!

About: Hi, my name is Sofi! I work from home full-time, which allows me to spend plenty of time with pets. I’ve grown up with animals and have loved being around them my whole life. Since moving to the U.S., friends and people in my social circle have trusted me to pet sit, house sit, and take care of their pets, including dog walking. I live in a pet-friendly apartment complex in a very walkable area, close to parks and green areas, perfect for daily walks and playtime. While I don’t have pets of my own, I truly enjoy their company and the joy, energy, and good moments they bring. I’m offering my services on Rover because I love spending time with pets and can provide them with attentive care while I work from home. I’m flexible on cost and cancellations. I’m happy to answer any questions or provide more details about me, you can reach out anytime, and I usually respond quickly. I work from home full-time, which allows me to easily integrate pet care into my daily and weekly routine. My schedule is generally flexible, so I can take regular breaks for walks, playtime, feeding, and check-ins throughout the day, rather than leaving pets alone for long periods. I follow each pet’s routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and medication if needed, ensuring they are comfortable, safe, and well cared for throughout the day.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of dogs and cats, from playful puppies to shy and reactive pets. I’ve done everything from daily drop-ins to long-term house sitting and boarding in my home, so I’m confident handling different routines, temperaments, and care needs. I focus on creating a calm, reliable environment where pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their people are away. My goal is always to keep your pet’s schedule consistent and make their time with me feel like a second home. “I’m a full-time student, but pet care fits naturally into my routine. I can provide overnight care, morning walks, and check-ins throughout the day between classes. I’m home most days after 4 pm, so pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and consistency. On weekends, I am home full-time, lots of time for playing, naps, and going out on adventures if that fits into your pet's lifestyle! In my apartment, your pet can be crated or free-roam based on their needs. I live in an apartment and there are no other animals. All outdoor time is always on-leash and closely supervised, your pet and I can play at the park across the street, with lots of grass! My goal is to create a calm, comfortable space where your pet feels secure and cared for.

About: Animals have always been an important part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy building trusting relationships with every pet I care for. I understand that each dog has a unique personality, routine, and set of needs, so I take the time to provide individualized care that helps them feel comfortable, safe, and happy. What sets me apart is my reliability, patience, and attention to detail. As a doctoral student in clinical psychology, I'm accustomed to being responsible, observant, and dependable, which are qualities that naturally carry over into the care I provide for pets. Whether your dog is energetic and loves long walks, needs a slower pace as a senior, or simply enjoys extra affection and playtime, I tailor my care to fit their needs. I'm comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering oral medications if needed, maintaining feeding and walking schedules, and providing regular updates with photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away. My goal is to make every pet feel loved and cared for as if they were my own, while giving owners confidence that their furry family member is in compassionate and capable hands. I'm currently on break from my graduate school program for the summer, so I have wide open availability throughout the week. I am available both mornings and evenings as well as weekends! Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I understand that trusting someone with your furry family member is a big decision, and I strive to provide dependable, attentive care that gives you peace of mind. When caring for pets in a client's home, I do my best to maintain their normal routine by following feeding schedules, exercise needs, medication instructions, and any other preferences you provide. I respect your home, keep the environment clean and secure, and make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, affection, and supervision while you're away. During walks, I prioritize safety by using secure leashes and harnesses, avoiding hazardous areas, monitoring weather conditions, and paying close attention to your dog's comfort and behavior. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel connected and confident that your pet is happy and well cared for. My goal is to create a calm, positive experience where your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable, and where you can relax knowing they're in responsible and caring hands.

Jillian is so thorough when getting to know your dog before hand and realllly cares about animals. I immediately felt safe with her taking care of my most treasured buddy in life. I am so happy I found someone I can trust to walk Zoobey and care for her the way I would. And Zoobey LOVES her. 10/10 would recommend!
