About: Hello! My name is Katherine, and since I work at a school, I am currently off for the summer. I have a playful Corgi named Peaches who loves to play and explore. In addition to growing up around animals, I have several years of experience dog sitting and walking from my college years. My corgi and I would love to make new furry friends this summer 😊 I’m off for the summer - so I have a pretty open schedule for now! Peaches and I are usually early to bed, early to rise, but get plenty of time to play during the day. Having used pet sitters myself, and I know what’s expected as a pet service provider and plan to communicate throughly, maintain the space orderly, and keep your pup safe. I always keep pets leashed outdoors and keep an eye on them while indoors.
“Jessica loved our puppies and took the best care. Although we were unable to meet in person, she made sure we felt very comfy with her taking care of the puppies. She shared pictures all the time and always asked when she got questions/worried about them. The doggies love her too! Would hire her again without doubts!”

I am here and happy to help take care of your fur babies! I work in North Park and I have hours in-between my day job to be able to help walk and stop by for play time with your pups, M-F. With my current pup, he is on a daily walk, sleep, and food schedule. He has been since 7-weeks old. Keep a solid routine is very important to lower stress levels in our dogs and make sure they are happy throughout the day. If my clients have specific needs for their dogs, I am able to follow a similar schedule however you have it set up!
“Darya was an excellent caretaker for our 2 cats with twice daily drop in visits. She took time to play with our babies and get them lots of pets. We could tell by the pictures she sent that both cats were very appreciative of her care. We would hire Darya again!”
About: I have been an animal lover my whole life. I've trained my own pets since childhood, and have done it well. I've even lived on farms. I've basically done it all; from helping a mamma birth her puppies and/or kittens to providing the gentle care a senior pet needs. It would be my pleasure to spend time with your pet. The pets I've owned: Cats, dogs, parakeets, rabbits, hamsters, and an iguana. I love going on walks and enjoying nature, dog walking fits naturally into my routine. What's better than a nature walk? A nature walk with a dog! I always read the directions, and I'm great at following them. You can rest assured that your pets needs will be taken care of exactly as instructed.

About: I’ve been a dedicated pet owner for 10+ years, growing up with dogs my entire life. I understand that pets are family, and I treat them with the same love and care as my own. I have experience with dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to senior companions, and I’m attentive to their unique needs. Whether it’s maintaining routines, providing comfort, or offering plenty of playtime and affection, I ensure every pet feels safe, loved, and happy while in my care. As a part-time worker, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to pet care. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feeding, or cuddles, I can make sure each pet gets the attention and care they need. Since I’ve been a pet owner for over 10 years, caring for animals is already a natural part of my daily routine, and I truly enjoy spending time with them! I live in a unit, so taking my dog on multiple walks a day is crucial to his health, and I apply the same level of care to any pet I watch. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I prioritize exercise, routine, and plenty of love. I ensure pets get their needed walks, playtime, and attention while maintaining their feeding and care schedule. My goal is to make them feel comfortable, safe, and happy, just like they would with their own family!
About: I’ve been caring for animals most my life. Prior to enlisting in the military I had a Pitt/Mastiff mix, so safe to say the larger breeds do not scare me. I’ve learned the bigger the dog the bigger baby they are lol. Im transitioning out of the Navy right now and my work schedule is very minimal! I’m available most afternoons and for any evening or overnight needs. My current residence does not accommodate pets but I am mobile for all of your in home needs! I find it best not to take the babies out of their environment if not necessary anyways (:
“Katie was wonderful! She came over to take care of my dog Maggie while I was at a baseball game and made sure she got her heart medication right on time. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Maggie was in such good hands. Katie was reliable, caring, and even sent me a quick update which I really appreciated. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
About: Hi, I’m Breanna! I share my home with two quirky cats and a sweet dog, so I’m no stranger to a full house of furry personalities. I grew up with gentle giants (Saint Bernards!), so I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes and temperaments. Whether your pet wants to play, cuddle, or just have someone nearby, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care—I don’t take that lightly. Let me know how I can help make things easier for you and your pets! Pet care is already part of my daily routine—I have two cats and a dog of my own, so I’m constantly making time for walks, play, feeding, and cuddles. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, which allows me to give your pet attention and care throughout the day without any interruptions. I know how important it is to keep pets safe, comfortable, and happy in any environment. In my home, I provide a calm, pet-friendly space and closely monitor interactions. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I’ll stick to your routines and preferences so they feel secure and stress-free. I take the responsibility seriously and treat every animal like one of my own.

“I could not be happier with my first experience with Rover! I will never question whether or not to board my dogs, or have somebody come check on them and take care of them. Viktorija was excellent!! She came and gave them attention, if she had any questions she asked right away and took all my worries away. I know I won't hesitate to ask her again if I go out of town. Thank you thank you!”

“Marrissa has always been a dog lover ever since she was young. Marrissa, her family, and her friends have had over many dogs over the course of her life, meaning she's always been surrounded by pets and as a result has always felt like they are family. She cares for her own dog like he's her son, and has always been a responsible mother to her dog. She has also cared for my dog multiple times while traveling abroad. She visited my house multiple times a day, and even took my dog home with her so that the dog wouldn't feel lonely. She is a great human being who absolutely adores pets and would be a fantastic addition to the rover pet-sitting/pet-walking community and team.”

She also builds bond with both pets and owners. You can tell right away that she genuinely loves animals and takes her responsibility seriously.

17. Breanna A.
“If there were a Nobel Prize for Dog-Sitting, Brea would have won it—twice. When I entrusted my beloved companion Willie—a canine of majestic spirit and questionable decision-making—to Brea’s care, I didn’t just expect competence. I expected legend. And what I got was something so profound, so wildly above and beyond, it felt like the plot of a Pixar film crossed with an ancient myth. From the moment Brea took Willie under her wing, the world shifted. Birds sang a little sweeter. The sun shone a little brighter. Somewhere, a rainbow formed. I swear I saw Willie wink at me as if to say, “Don’t worry. I’m with her now.” She didn’t just walk him. She escorted him through enchanted forests (aka the neighborhood park) where he communed with squirrels and contemplated the mysteries of existence. She didn’t just feed him. She curated artisanal meals, plated with a precision that would make Michelin chefs weep. One night, she even read him a bedtime story. In Spanish. For cultural enrichment. Willie came back to me… different. Wiser. Kinder. More worldly. Some say he now understands classical music. Others claim he’s been meditating. All I know is, his tail hasn’t stopped wagging since. If you have the chance—the privilege—to have Brea take care of your dog, know this: your pup will return not just cared for, but transformed. 10/10. Would trust her with my life. Or at the very least, walking my dog.”
