“Nyree was amazing, and I’d highly recommend her! She came every morning for a week to let my fur baby out of her kennel, give her breakfast, and take her for a quick morning walk. Leia absolutely looked forward to her mornings with Nyree, and I’m so grateful for the kind, thoughtful care she provided.”
“Laura is an excellent dog walker! She took a preliminary walk with us to learn my dog’s habits and routines, and was great at communicating upcoming schedules. My dog was so happy to see her and walk with her each day and I got great updates. I would highly recommend Laura for dog walking or dog sitting.”
“We are trying Xan out as our regular walker, twice a week. So far Xan clearly has a heart for dogs and brought Doris back happy! Looking forward to continue working with them.”
“Alana went above and beyond to take care of my dog RITA! Her communication was awesome and she updated me all day! She even reached out after her stay, just to check in! I feel like I have found thee BEST dog sitter in the cities!”
About: I’ve been helping with care and dog sitting for friends and neighbors for about ten years, especially for my sister’s cavaliers (pictured) when she goes on trips. I have a lot of experience walking more anxious/shy dogs, and have also wrangled some bigger aggressive pooches - so I know how to navigate a walk to avoid socialization when needed, and keep a tight grip on the leash. I just quit my corporate job, so my schedule is open! Particularly looking to schedule some day-time walks, but flexible on timing, and can potentially do overnights as well I like to defer to the dog’s temperament and let them initiate interactions, or offer treats to grease the wheels. Ideally I want to build a rapport with them to get in some playtime and cuddles to keep them emotionally engaged while their human is away
“Punctual, kind, down to earth and Arnie loves going on walks with CJ. When their walk is over Arnie does not want her to leave. Super glad to have found CJ!”
“I highly recommend Regina. My husband and I were so pleased by her excellent communication and care for our dog as well as her flexibility with our schedule and her kind and friendly nature. She is the best!”
“Amy is fantastic! She definitely knows dogs and is comfortable, capable, and trustworthy. She has been walking our Pearl for a few weeks now and it has worked out great. Pearl needs a lot of exercise and Amy takes her out on long walks with her dog, Luna, and they have lots of adventures, like seeing ducks, smelling good spring smells, and playing together. I feel so much better during the day knowing that Pearl will get a long walk and some social time!”
“I'm so glad that my pup, Cash, and I have Autumn. I was gone for a long time, and it meant a lot that Cash got extra mental stimulation on his walk because of Autumn's extra efforts to do a little training on the walk. She was also above and beyond helpful in tending to some of my particular requests and the logistics of the walk.”
“We love Amy! Amy has been nothing but communicative as we figured out and got into the habit of weekly dog walking. Our dogs love their outing with her and enjoy showing/sharing all their toys with her when they return and cool down. She quickly won our dogs over and now they eagerly wait (probably counting down the minutes) for their weekly dog walk. I’d highly recommend Amy for pet care and we love having her be part of our weekly dog routine.”
About: Dogs have always been a part of my life. I grew up with 2 dogs, a Labrador and Weenie-Mix, so I have experience with dogs of varying sizes. I have cared for rabbits and small birds, and have spent a lot of time around cats! I would love to take your pet for a walk and play, or drop-in for a check-in! My availability may look somewhat limiting, but I am typically available Monday through Thursday after 4:15; Friday after 3:15; and most of the day on the weekends. Your pet's happiness and well-being is of the upmost importance to me. I thank you for trusting me in your home and with the responsibility of caring for you pet.
About: I’ve watched family and friends dogs for years. I enjoy being the “go-to” person to watch their pets . Love caring for and playing with dogs, talking them on walks, and playing! I have some flexibility in my schedule during the weekdays . However, I can always do afternoons walks and care and availability full time on weekends. For longer I usually watch folks dogs in their home - if that’s the preference. If your puppy needs to be just walked and fed for just the day that’s also grand!
About: I have both adopted and fostered young and senior dogs. The youngest dog I have fostered was 1 year old (Golden Retriever - 45 lbs) named Benny. The oldest dog I have cared for was my resident dog, Bubba (Black Lab/Husky Mix - 80 lbs) who I had for 4 years who recently passed away at 11. Dogs are my pride and joy! I work full time on the weekdays and am free on the weekends. I am available during the week sometimes after work. Willing to stay the weekend if needed. I treat dogs like I would my own. On walks I make sure I have everything we need before going out. I respect each pet and go with what they want to do. IE adhering to their boundaries. I am also great at following directions that the owner provides. I want all parties, pets, parents, and myself to feel comfortable.
About: I am reliable to help care for your pet. I have done pet sitting and walking for clients for 5 years. I personally have a miniature poodle and a pug ♥️ I am able to take care of your pet any day of the week. I just need to know at least 3 days ahead of time before you need me. I provide care for pets in clients homes as well as take dogs on walks. I am able to check on your pet while you are at work. I can also stay at your home if needed on weekends.
About: Hi loving pet parents! My name is Brooke. I may be new to Rover, but I’m no stranger to pet care and I’m ready to become besties with your pup! I have cared for pets since I was 12-years-old, and I love all dogs, no matter the size, shape, or personality. I've grown up and cared for several breeds - from boxers, to cockapoos, to labs, to frenchies - and I am comfortable taking an energetic pup on a run, or I can be a couch-potato with a dog that loves to cuddle. It's my utmost goal to make your dog feel comfortable, loved, and relaxed while you're away! I work a hybrid-remote job with a flexible schedule. The longest I will be out of the house is 5 hours per day, and I am able to build my schedule around your dogs' needs! I am able to accommodate any routine your pup has, and I will give them all the love they need while you are away. I can easily crate them if needed, or stick to any feeding, exercise, and/or medication schedules you have in place.
