“Ryan has been so patient and sweet with our anxious chihuahua, Pinto. Pinto is nervous around new people and Ryan was very patient allowing Pinto to warm up to him and not rushing him.

About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was 12 years old. I’ve pet-sat for many people in my life, from Shih Tzus, to black labs, to cats, and chickens! I love going on long walks outside, or just spending time chilling with a more peaceful pet inside! I truly love animals and will treat your pet like they’re my own! As a current college student, I have a very flexible schedule. My classes are spread out throughout the day, which makes it easy to check on or walk pets multiple times during the day. I have availability all throughout the morning, afternoon, and weekday! In your home, I make sure to take care of your pet and also your space! I recognize that it’s a big ask to let a stranger into your home to watch the animals you love so much, so I understand if you want to meet first! When walking or pet sitting, I truly see them like my own! I love to know as much information as you can give me about their preferences, behaviors, likes and dislikes so I can adjust accordingly.
“Tessa I appreciate you so much & so does monkey. I hope this is a start of a new and ongoing relationship. I definitely recommend you and want to book you for the future. We have found our perfect person. Thank you Tessa, see you soon dear.”
About: Hi, my name is Amanda and I adopted my beagle, Honey, last year. I grew up with cats and dogs, and understand that pets are part of the family. I have experience with kittens, cats, and anxious dogs. My specialty is small to medium sized dogs. I walk and train with my dog every day. We completed all the obedience training programs at PetSmart and we participate in agility classes and ecollar training programs. I understand the importance of training as well as caring for the animal with love and patience. I work from home, so my schedule is quite flexible. I walk my dog for about 20 minutes between 8-9am, and then again in the evening from 5pm-7pm. I have a friendly 1.5year old beagle at home who would love to play and snuggle with your pup. I would separate them via dog gate or crating during meal time. We would go for a pack walk and have designated nap time in their crates. Additionally, I would crate both dogs overnight for safety purposes.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and have experience caring for dogs of all kinds. I’ve raised and fully trained two dogs of my own, so I’m comfortable with everything from basic training and daily routines to giving pets the attention and care they need. I’m responsible, patient, and genuinely love spending time with animals! I’m a college student with a fairly flexible schedule. I have classes mainly on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday, with open availability throughout the mornings and most of my evenings. My Tuesdays and Fridays are completely open, so I have plenty of flexibility for pet sitting, dog walking, and drop-in visits. You can keep it simple and focus on being responsible in the client’s home, since you don’t need to claim anything you don’t offer. Here’s a natural version that meets the 25-word minimum: I prioritize keeping pets safe, comfortable, and supervised while following their normal routines. I’m respectful of each client’s home and make sure pets receive plenty of care and attention.
“Janine is great! My dog Bernie loves his walks with her and she leaves me adorable pictures! I really appreciate having you as a resource Janine! I know the pup is probably looking forward to my next trip away!”
“Pam has been great with my timid Abby who was very sheltered with her previous owners who lived in assisted living. At 6 years old and only 2 months with me, new experiences and people are hard for Abby. This was a co-walk as we're working on getting her comfortable so Pam can come walk her independently on a day where I have to be out all day and then also in the evening. I'm new to the Rover app and Pam was super flexible when I didn't schedule the walk that we had discussed during our meet and greet. But we were able to work it out and do the walk and I'm confident that Abby will be in a good place on the day I need to be out.”
About: I have fostered over 20 puppies/small dogs in San Diego for the last 2 years and moved to NYC. I have my own Chihuahua terrier mix baby, NooNoo, who has epilepsy so I am familiar with giving medicine and constant attention. I have taken care of friends' cats and dogs for more than 3 weeks. I love taking pictures so I will always provide constant updates if requested. I work remotely so I am available most days and can provide walks, cuddles, belly rubs, playtime, and attention. I work from home so I am available at most times. I will be in contact and can send pictures frequently. I love all animals and will be happy to spend time with your fur-friend :) I love animals and it will be my pleasure to spend time with your pet! I am a great communicator and will always send updates. I will play with your pet and give them scratches and whatever else is needed.
About: I’ve loved animals ever since I can remember. From hamsters, dogs, cats, bunnies, fish, geckos, etc. I have had them all! I am always a reliable source for pet care when friends and neighbors are away. I currently work weekends and am attending school in the evenings a few days a week- so I have all day to play and care for your fur babies! I have a fenced in yard and two cats who are accepting of other animals. I can crate or provide a comfy space for your pets so they feel pampered and safe!
“Stephanie is very responsive and takes great care of my pup. She not only walks him but will stay for a bit to make sure he is okay before leaving. My dog loves when she takes him out.”

About: We had a family pup for 18+ years. The sweetest Maltese ever. She was our perfect girl. Learned to appreciate senior dogs. They need just as much love and have begun to be interested in fostering senior dogs quite soon. I work at a school so I have open availability for this summer. I’ll be able to pay attention and play with them during the day and do walks. Free on the weekend to go to the park and such. I am in a townhouse so no fenced in space but I’m in a very accessible town that’s very walkable. Sidewalks and dog parks all very close.
“Rafa has truly been an absolute gift to our family and to Jax. From the very beginning, she has gone above and beyond in every possible way. She is incredibly reliable, trustworthy, and so genuinely caring—it’s obvious that this isn’t just a job for her, but something she puts her whole heart into. Rafa is wonderfully gentle and patient with Jax, and the bond they’ve built is so special to see. Jax gets genuinely excited to see her, which says everything. The thoughtful photos and detailed updates after each walk mean the world to us and give such peace of mind, knowing he’s happy, safe, and loved while we’re away. She is friendly, attentive, and treats Jax like he’s her own. Finding someone you can fully trust with your dog is priceless, and Rafa is exactly that person. We are beyond grateful for her and cannot recommend her highly enough to anyone looking for exceptional, heartfelt care. 🐾✨💛”

I can’t say enough good things about Shannon- such an amazing person who went above and beyond to care for our silly boy Leo during a last minute need. I’m a veterinarian and I have a lot of specific needs, but she stepped in and cared for our boy just as her own—even better than I could have asked for. You would be lucky to have her looking after your pet! Thank you for everything, Shannon!!
Mersades has been consistently walking our dog for about a year, and we could not recommend her enough! She is reliable, flexible, friendly, and just the sweetest! We highly highly recommend her and she will continue to be our number one pick for all our pet drop in and walking needs.
