“Shanae is great! She responded very promptly to my request and I was able to set up a meet and greet in a timely manner. She is great at communicating and sends lots of pictures of Scout. I know he is in good hands. I will most definitely be using Shanae again when needed!”


“Bryce took great care of my dog and went above and beyond to ensure all of my dog’s needs were met. Communicating with Bryce was very easy and he gave me updates to assure me that my dog was in good hands.”


About: My family has owned dogs for as long as we can remember. I have years of experience of taking care of my two dogs which involve walking them, feeding them, bathing them, giving medication, and of course taking them to the vet. I am very flexible with my schedule since I am currently on winter break. Even after school begins again I should be free most afternoons and free all days on the weekends. Our dogs are more on the older side so taking care of them is fairly standard. Besides walking and feeding them, we also try to play with them every once in a while so they're not always sitting around most of the day.

“Thank you so much for your time and kindness with Winston! My heart is so happy and at ease knowing he is your care! We are all so grateful for you!”


“Karli was very responsive and reliable when she walked my dog. Traveling when you leave your animals at home can be stressful, Karli helped ease that for me. I’d highly recommended her, and will use her services again!”


About: I’ve had a Yorkie named Cooper since I was young and he currently lives with my parents back in Cleveland. I love dogs so much and I believe you should take care of dogs like you do your kids! I work fully remote, so I will be at home and play with the dogs all day! I will show them love and be able to feed them and take them to the bathroom whenever they need it! I also have a dog park at my apartment and a park in walking distance! I will play or walk the dogs whenever they need it, I love to exercise and move around! They will never not be shown love!

About: Welcome to my Rover profile! I'm excited to connect with fellow pet lovers like you. As an animal mom myself, I understand the deep bond and unconditional love we share with our furry companions. It brings me joy to provide a nurturing and welcoming environment for pets of all shapes and sizes. Whether it's long walks in the park, cozy cuddle sessions, or playtime filled with belly rubs, I am dedicated to creating a safe and loving space for your pets. With years of experience and a genuine passion for animal care, I am committed to treating your furry family members as if they were my own. I am currently a MSW student at ASU. I make sure my dog gets at least one activity a day (dog park or long walk), with multiple other trips outside. When I’m not in class or internship, I’m typically home or doing something that I can bring my dog to. We also hike and camp frequently! While we don't have a fenced-in yard we live walking distance from a dog park and river walk. Rest assured, your pet's exercise and bathroom needs are a top priority for me. My dog and I absolutely adore spending time at the lake, creating endless opportunities for outdoor adventures. Your pet's well-being is of utmost importance to me, and I am committed to accommodating their specific needs based on your preferences.

About: I have 14 years of pet care experience starting at age 9 when I earned my own dog and still love and care for him today! In the covid era, I was in high school and I raised and cared for a Bernese Mountain Dog Puppy alongside my family! In college, I actively foster through Lost Our Home Animal Shelter where I care for dogs and cats in my home until their owners are well enough to take them back! I am a part time student and part time worker! I will be able to care for your furry friends Tuesdays-Sundays! I have class from 1:30-2:45 pm on Tuesday and Wednesday and work sporadically through the rest of the week! I accept day of bookings so reach out for me for detailed availability as mine changes weekly! I currently live in a high rise apartment therefore I feel it is best to only foster cats at the moment! I tend the needs of the cat based of the specific cat, for example, my current foster cat is only comfortable in my room. Therefore, I keep her food, water, and litter box in my room so that she feels comfortable doing all those things in a safe space! My past foster dogs have all been large breed so I lowered my bed so they could easily jump up and snuggle with me. I ensured to walk them mornings and nights with playtime and potty in between as needed! In the summertime we only walk before the sun rises and after the sun sets to ensure the pets safety! I ensure all my animals have food that they enjoy, fresh water, a safe space to rest, toys, and an accessible and clean potty area! Feel free to reach out with any specific questions

“Always dependable!”



“After being with the same Rover walkers (they worked as a couple and recently moved away) for almost 2 years, we were nervous about entrusting our big, older dog to someone else. Justin eased our fears right away. Bamboo took to him immediately so that was the first thing. Justin let us know when he picked her up and dropped her off for her daily walks this week and he's also been super communicative via text -- something I really appreciate. We're looking forward to a lasting relationship with Justin!”


“Micaela did a fantastic job with our two dogs. She was always there and always on time for their walks. And she sent us a picture each time. It was nice knowing our dogs were taken care of while we were out of town.”



“Robby loved Amber! Would recommend her and Nico for walks. This was Robby’s first walk using Rover, so it was great getting a good first experience.”



“Ariel is great and I feel good about leaving my dog in her hands. She responds to all requests and is flexible to any changes. Definitely would recommend.”


About: Hi, I'm a huge dog lover and have two of my own. I love being active with my pups, taking for them for long walks and hikes. We hardly ever miss a day at the dog park. I've had fur babies my entire life, of all breeds and sizes so I'm comfortable with any pooch whether they are full-grown or still in that crazy puppy stage. I work from home so my schedule is wide open and I'm available any time of day or night. When you utilize my services you will be greeted with happy, spoiled pooches upon your return. It doesn't matter if it's for a short walk, a quick check-in, or a sleepover I just know your pup will have a great time. I work 100% from home so you’re pooches will get my undivided attention 24/7. They’ll get long walks in the morning and evening. They’ll also get short walks on my break during the day. I will treat your home as I would treat my own. I will spoil your dogs like I would my own. You will come home to a tidy space and happy pups!

“Katarina, did a great job. She kept me informed on when she arrived and left. She was also flexible with change in plans. I have used her in the past and will likely user her in the future.”


About: Hi, my name is Avery. I’m originally from California, and I’m currently a student at Arizona State! I grew up with animals in my home and understand the responsibilities that come with having a furry friend! I am always the one to feed, bathe, walk, and play with my pets at home! I am always everyone’s ho-to pet sitter because of my deep love for animals. I also am extremely attentive, caring, clean, and communicative.

I work from 6AM to 8AM, and I have school from 12:30PM to 4:30PM every weekday. Pet care can easily fit into my schedule! Especially on the weekends! I currently live in an 800 square foot apartment. I have a patio which is not fenced in, but I can put dogs on a leash and take them for bathroom time and a walk! I can also crate if needed/preferred! When I am not at school or work I am home or at your home for the rest of the time.

About: I have always grown up with dogs around the house and my parents in Minnesota own 5 dogs at the moment! I was been mostly surrounded by labs for the first ten years of my life but within the last ten years, my mom has taken in more small dogs. In Scottsdale, I lived with a German Shepard and also a chihuahua. I would bring them on various adventures like hiking, paddle boarding, or even just simple car rides. I also dog sit other dogs throughout the valley. I am open to any dogs and all sizes. I love being outdoors and going on walks so what better way to enjoy the fresh air then with a furry companion. Pawty On! I currently work part time both at Banner and as a bartender. My schedule varies based on the week but I am usually flexible and can try to move things around depending on what days you will be needing:) In your home I am willing to take the dog(s) out for a walk during the early mornings and late evenings due to the heat!

About: I grew up with dogs and cats of every kind. I’ve raised puppies and kittens and older animals. I’ve potty trained and I love teaching new tricks! I am a full time student in college at ASU but my schedule is very open. I only have two classes at most on select days which give me a lot of free time to take care of your fur baby. I will mainly be providing service outside of my home but I like to be active and fun so I will be able to provide my full attention.

About: I have taken care of various animals throughout my life! I am a volunteer at the humane society, so I’m around dogs a lot! I love animals so much and enjoy taking care of them a lot!

I also have time in between my classes on Mondays and Wednesdays(: I live in an apartment so I do not have a yard, but my apartment backs up to a forest area so it would be easy to take the dogs to play! There are also grassy areas around my apartment complex and parks nearby(: I’m a college student at Coconino Community College so I have classes Monday-Thursday but, my classes are only about an hour each and I only have 2 each day so I have lots of time to take care of any doggies! I live at an apartment so I do not have a yard but there is a foresty area all around the complex and I have a little patio area! There are also parks nearby, so I would be able to give the dogs plenty of time and areas to play!
