“You simply cannot go wrong with Tabitha. She communicated but most importantly she takes care of your pet like it’s her own. Highly recommend. Thank you again for another great week!”

About: I've owned dogs since I was 12 years old, from puppies to a 16 year old which needed extra care. I am comfortable with all breeds of dogs and have a large fenced in yard. I'm able to walk dogs as requested and needed with no issues. I've watched friends and families' dogs when asked to. When you leave your dog(s) with me, they become a part of our family. I work from home most days, but am considered in a hybrid role and may have to go into an office. I have a dog of my own, a husky mix that is dog and people friendly. As long as I'm not away I'm available to care for your dog as if it was my own. I have a large fenced in yard and one dog, a husky mix, who is dog friendly and loves to play. She is house/crate trained herself but we don't leave our crate set up. I do have one available if your pet requires one. My neighborhood also has plenty of sidewalks to walk dogs and as long as weather permits I go on at least one long walk per day with my dog.
“He is wonderful! My dog loves him. He does a great job of being friendly and sweet with my animals but also keeps him in-line! He doesn't let him pull or run all over the place! He's also very respectful of my house and towards myself.”

“Jeanette is such a blessing to me and my little guy Romeo. She took care of him for four days while I was traveling out the country. Jeanette is kind, friendly , reliable . professional, trustworthy and great with dogs. Romeo loved her immediately. Jeanette perfectly followed the care plan that I created. She left my home very clean and even was flexible to add on an extra day of care due to flight change of mine. I highly recommend her to care for your fur babies!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since childhood, and I now foster and train dogs regularly. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities, including high-energy breeds and the occasional husky meltdown. I’ve also cared for kittens and adult cats, and I handle basic grooming for my foster dogs. I enjoy teaching pets new skills, helping them build confidence, and making sure they feel safe, engaged, and cared for during their stay with me. I work part-time, which gives me plenty of time to focus on your pets. I’m available for boarding on weekends and on weekdays. My schedule is flexible enough for frequent walks, playtime, training sessions, and consistent check-ins, so your pet gets steady attention throughout the day. I keep my space clean, calm, and comfortable so pets can relax and feel safe. I watch them closely during outside time, stick to their normal feeding and walk schedule, and pay attention to how they’re feeling. Whether they stay with me, I make sure they have structure, attention, and a safe environment the whole time.

“Priscilla has been watching Jake for almost a month now and she is great. Jake adores her, he loves walking and playing with her, and she takes great care of him. Priscilla communicates very well with me before and after she walks Jake, and she sends several pictures and video. She also asks a lot of questions about any special care or needs Jake might need. I can tell she really cares about Jake, and animals in general, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great dog walker/sitter”

“Jenny is so kind and patient with our senior pup who needs a little extra TLC these days. She is very communicative and accommodating and I’d recommend her to anyone. Thanks so much Jenny!!”

“Mel is fantastic with Molly and Buz. She’s very flexible with my crazy schedule and ready to help with visiting family’s pets ranging from an American Lab to a couple of Boston Terriers. She also kept my plants going when I was unexpectedly out of town.”

About: I grew up with dogs and cats and currently have a spanish greyhound, Tom! I’ve always had a love for animals and have experience with both timid and playful pets. I’d love to care for your fur baby like I do my own! I am available for early morning (4:30 am - 6:30 am), evening (5pm - 9pm), and weekend care! I am active and would love to add a furry friend to my walks! I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages and love getting to know the different personality that each one can have. I make sure to prioritize their safety both inside and outside.
“Lorena is a dream dog walker. She has an excellent rapport with my pup, is very mindful of my dog’s safety, is always on time, and communicates exceedingly well. I recommend her highly and without any reservations.”

“Malik was a huge help for us. Our regular dog walker was busy and he helped us and did a great job. He is very punctual and nice to the pups. Would definitely use his services again as needed when our normal lady is out of town :)”


About: While you are away, let your dogs enjoy a pupcation! My wife and I have been caring and training dogs for 10+ years. We have a fenced yard with a lake just beyond that. We currently have 2 friendly dogs who love to play. We can guarantee your dog will have an awesome time! We will train your dog as well if you would like. Dogs will get walked every day and plenty of play time. In this house hold, dogs are part of the family! Able to adapt and provide whatever care you require for your dog. I work 6am - 2pm and my wife works at a hospital over night. So there is always someone home to look after the dogs. If you want, we can take the dog out to the lake. We take ours out there all the time, it is shallow. But if you don't want them to, they don't need to. Our yard is fully fenced and cut off from the pond.
“We've used Jaicy for a while now and she's incredibly reliable and cares greatly for our dogs. She boarded our last dog and walked him frequently. He loved spending time at her house and playing with her dogs. When we adopted our current dog I knew he'd be in good hands with Jaicy and he took right to her during our meet and greet.”

About: I’ve been working with animals all my life! I’ve worked in animal shelters and pet stores all around, and I’ve always had pets of my own. First thing I do every morning is walk, and feed the dogs. I make sure they’ve peed, pooped, and eaten breakfast, a walk midday, dinner and a walk afterwards. I work about 2 hour shifts very close to home so I won’t be gone for too long I will take pay close attention to your pets and carefully follow the instructions given to me to ensure their safety and happiness while you’re gone
About: I’m a lifelong dog lover who treats every pup like my own. From wild puppy zoomies to slow senior strolls, I adapt to each dog’s needs and personality. I’m great with shy pups, high-energy breeds, and everything in between. My walks are never rushed — they’re sniff-filled adventures with plenty of love, play, and care. I'm available weekdays past 3pm after work and weekends most of the day. Whether your pup needs a quick potty break or a long adventure, I can make it happen. Your pet’s safety and comfort come first. I always follow your instructions for feeding, walking, and routines so your dog feels secure and cared for. On walks, I keep a close eye on surroundings to avoid unsafe situations and will ensure their leash is secure. In your home, I respect your space, keep things tidy, and make sure your pet is never left unsupervised in a risky situation. Whether we’re playing, cuddling, or exploring, I'll treat your fur baby with love and attention.
About: Hi! My name is Rachel and I just moved to Colorado from Maryland (born and raised in Minnesota) and I am a huge cat lover/cat mom. I have two big Siberian male cats and they are my babies. My cats are basically my best friends and I do anything to make them happy (outside deck time, stroller rides, hydrating meals). I work 5 mins from where I live so my visits can be anytime before 830am and after 330pm. I gained a lot of experience watching cats in Maryland through Rover, as well as working at a Pet hotel (more information below). I always feel a real connection with cats and treat them better than I do most humans. 😹 I previously worked at Stay Pet Resort in Hanover, MD July 2023-November 2024 as their "Cat Person" playing and taking care of the boarding cats Thursday-Sunday for about 3-5 hours depending on how many cats. I understand adjusting to different personalities and seeing where each cat strives. Welcoming back returning cats is such a joy! I believe I have built relationships with many of these cats and I miss them all very much! I am available for drop-by visits any day or time of the week and am very flexible with availability or cancellations. I can do longer visits if necessary. I am not fond of staying over night at someones house but cats can stay at my house. I believe it is very important for the pets to gently be acclimated to any new people that enter their homes. I am the guest, the pet is the owner of the house and I need to respect them first before gaining respect. Bringing treats or catnip and toys with most likely helps. Speaking in a quiet, calm and high pitched voice is important. Using key words like good boy, treats, its ok, etc.

Grateful for the care taken and the time extended in walking Scout. Her true love for pets is evident in the images shared. She goes the extra mile to play with Scout and make him feel a little less lonely. Thank you!! Always consistent and reliable. Highly recommend.

This was my first time using Rover and I was a little anxious about leaving my fur baby with someone, but Nakea eased my anxiety. She provided pictures upon pick up and drop off for walks, she was extremely communicative throughout the process and answered any questions I had. I highly recommend Nakea and will be using her for future walks!
