About: I’ve been caring for pets since I became best friends with the dogs on my walk home from the bus stop at age 10. I love spending time with dogs of all sizes and ages, building trust, and becoming a familiar friend to them. I take pride in being reliable and attentive, treating every pet like my own. Whether it’s a long walk, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m available on weekdays and some weekends, so I have plenty of flexibility! I’d love to use that time to give your pets the care and attention they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priorities. I take time to learn their routines, needs, and personality to help them feel at ease. In your home, I’ll respect your space and follow care instructions closely whether it’s feeding, walking, playtime, or special care. With lots of attention and patience, I aim to keep pets relaxed and stress-free while you’re away.

“Breckyn was a lifesaver when I ended up in a pinch over a weekend. We were able to schedule a meet & greet super quickly, and she left thorough notes about each walk. She even pointed out an overgrown claw + sent pictures of my cats too. Really put me at ease! Thanks so much!”
“Hadley is amazing! She was super accommodating, very quick communication, sent daily pictures, and even went out of her way to buy my pup a bark bowl on her walk. Id highly recommend her!”
About: I have been pet watching since I was about 12. I had a dog growing up my whole life, I’m a lover of dogs more then humans to be honest and no matter big or small all dogs are so special. I am currently looking for a new job, while starting to work a part time job. I will have more time to hang out and be present and provide the care they need. I live in an apartment but I am on second floor close to nearest exit, takes about 30 seconds to go down the stairs out to a grass area. Live in the heart of south end so lots of walking areas.
“Riley was great with Jackson! She followed all of my instructions and kept me updated. She was also very flexible which last minute issues which was very appreciated! Would definitely book her again.”
About: As a current college student with a love for animals, my upbringing alongside my beloved dog Khaleci (inspired from Game of Thrones ) has instilled in me an unparalleled understanding of pet care. I've been immersed in the responsibilities and joys of pet ownership, learning the ins and outs of their needs, quirks, and unconditional love. My summers spent assisting at my grandfather's vet clinic have provided invaluable hands-on experience in animal care. Whether it's providing basic grooming services, or simply offering a comforting presences Eager to use my expertise and passion into offering care for dogs. From leisurely walks to engaging playtime and everything in between, rest assured that your furry friend will be in capable and loving hands with me.

“Amber did an amazing job walking Gungi! She was reliable, friendly, and made sure Gungi got the exercise and attention he needed. I could tell he was happy and well-cared for after their walks. I’ll definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great dog walker!”
About: What sets me apart as a dog walker and sitter is the genuine connection I build with every dog I care for. I treat each visit not just as a service, but as quality time with a furry buddy who deserves love, attention, and fun. With a calm, patient energy and years of hands on experience, I specialize in caring for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels including senior puppies. I work a part time job at a lash studio, I work a lot of nights but my schedule is pretty flexible most of the time. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and part of the family. I live in a very pet friendly apartment with plenty of space for lounging, playing, and relaxing. One of the best things is the big dog park downstairs, it's a perfect place for dogs to run and play,I take regular trips there with my own dog. Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I follow their routine as closely as possible. Mealtimes, walks, medication, and play are all handled with care and consistency.
“Tre has become like family. He is always available to take care of Dax when I need and treats him as if he was his own. He’s very personable, responsible, reliable, accommodating to my crazy schedule and he will definitely continue to be my go-to.”
About: I have a dog back home with my parents with severe anxiety and needs so I understand special requirements and the need for attention to detail. I want to help you be worry free for the pets you love while you’re away! Currently I am a university student and would be able to give attention to pets at least every two hours if not more often. I have roommates as well who will be home and able to give love and attention to your pets. I will be working from home most of the time this summer while going into office when I prefer. If I commit to watching your pet I will be at home but appreciate the 3 days advance to request care so I can plan my week accordingly! While at home I will be able to walk down my stairs to take them to the bathroom throughout the day and can take them on longer walks in the evening or early morning if that is what they are used to! I would allow pets on my furniture but not my bed and would follow your rules and guidelines if I were in your home. I have roommates in and out who are very respectful humans and would be there to give love and attention as well however I would be the caretaker and take full responsibility for your pets.

I currently work 4 days a week so I have 3 days fully open for pet care. New to town and missing all my family pets so would love to incorporate animals into my week! I am not able to care for pets in my apartments but am very reliable and respectful. I will follow any and all rules in your home with care.

Allison F.
“I strongly recommend Allison to care for pets via Rover.com! This may be cliche or maybe heard a lot but I've truly never met anyone love dogs, pets, animals, etc more. Her mom even calls her an animal whisperer. While she's never taken care of my pet (bc I don't have one), she is always walking / hanging out with her friends dogs when needed, & I have watched pets with her over the weekend, every one always loving her. We have even done puppy yoga, and she is at skiptown (dog park) every other day with her friends & their dogs, meeting & petting every one she can. She has even fostered dogs before. Whenever we are out, she is always meeting / petting furry strangers (with the owners permission) & I have the pics to prove it. Not only all of that, but she would love to do this & will actually care about the work she does! Thank you”

Downtown dog parents share their Rover experiences
Nate was great with Chloe, he got here a few minutes early and we both walked with Chloe around the block so I could get to know him...2st time meeting him. When they got back we hung out a bit in the front yard, he enjoyed throwing the ball and playing with Chloe, she already loves him! I would definitely recommend him for your dogs to meet.
I can’t say enough great things about Lauren. As my first time using the app/service I was highly impressed. Throughout each walk, Lauren updated with daily photos and messages, letting me know how things were going. It gave me such peace of mind to know my dog was being loved, walked, and cared for like one of their own. I came home to a happy dog. If you’re looking for someone reliable, kind, and truly passionate about pets, I highly recommend Lauren. I’ll definitely be booking again!
Joseph was wonderful and would highly recommend! We appreciate how communicative and responsive he is, and he was able to handle multiple dogs on short notice. You can tell through the photos he sent how much our pups were well taken care of. We will for sure be using him again in the future!
I can’t recommend Lindsay enough. She walks my dog, Benson, twice a week and is always extremely communicative. It has become the highlight of my week when Lindsay sends me pictures of her and Benson’s walk. Lindsay is reliable, responsible, and clearly has a deep caring for animals.
We love Olivia! She was on time and so sweet. She went above and beyond while walking Seamus—they did a full mile in 30 minutes! My boy was pooped when he got back, which definitely helped ease my guilt on a busy day. She made me feel very comfortable and reassured me that he was well behaved. It’s always a little nerve-wracking handing the leash over and hoping they behave themselves, but she handled it perfectly. We’ll definitely be contacting her again for walks. Thanks again, Olivia!
