“Erica is great with my 5 month puppy Maisie. Every picture Maisie is smiling looking so happy! Erica is responsive and always checks in to make sure she does exactly what Maisie needs. Highly Recommended!”
“I have to start saying I’ve never hired a dog walker before, it was hard to trust someone else to take care of my pup. I had to find someone urgently a couple of days ago and Lillian was super accommodating with her needs and our requests. She was able to go to our place right away and kept us posted on every step of the way. She seemed pretty nice and I wanted to meet her as we’ll need more help with our pup in the future. We met a couple of days after and I have to say she was super sweet and loving towards my pup. I was happy she remembered all the things I told her about our dog. She even walked to the park and stayed with us for a while. She made it easier for me to trust in this apps. I highly recommend her.”
“Amelia was absolutely wonderful with Bishop! She was available on very short notice, which was such a huge help, and she made the whole experience completely stress-free. She was caring, dependable, and kept us updated, giving us peace of mind knowing Bishop was happy and well looked after. It was clear she treated him like one of her own. We are so thankful for her flexibility, kindness, and excellent care. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Amelia again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate dog walker!”

About: Hello!! I’m Zainab, an owner of 2 silly cats and I would love to take care of your furry loved one! Spending time with pets genuinely makes me happy and it shows in the type of care I give them. Finding the appropriate pet care is just as stressful as finding the right care for your human child. A few of my qualities like being patient, reliable, and responsible can help ease your mind especially when you are far away from your pet. I will always stay in touch and give regular check-ins with a photo of your pet so you can see how they are doing. Yours and your pets comfort is my priority. I’m there to make your pet feel safe, loved and cared for no matter what their big personality brings. They can be shy, energetic, cuddly or even a bit stubborn. I’ve taken care of friends and family’s dogs and I care for my 2 cats including one of my cats that needs his daily oral allergy medication. I’d love to meet you and your furry best friend! I am currently unemployed and looking to fill up some of my time looking after your pets. My time is pretty flexible to give them all the attention they need! I try my best to keep up with your pets same schedule and routine so they do not feel lonely or stressed without their human their. And of course there will be extra attention and play time going around.
“Nicole is the best! She goes above and beyond to communicate with me and take care of my little guy. My frenchie can be difficult so her patience is so appreciated! I never worry when I’m away and she’s taking care of Blu.”
About: Animals have always been a part of my life. I grew up with dogs and now have a cat of my own, so I understand both the energy and companionship of dogs and the unique personalities and routines of cats. As a pet parent, I know how important it is to have someone you can trust caring for your pet while you’re away. I’m dependable, attentive, and committed to following each pet parent’s instructions and routine. Whether your pet needs a walk, feeding, playtime, litter care, or simply some extra attention and companionship, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to be available throughout the day for dog walks and drop-in visits. I’m happy to work with your pet’s established routine and provide reliable, attentive care when you can’t be there. I understand the trust it takes to have someone care for your pet in your home. During drop-in visits, I’ll carefully follow your instructions for feeding, fresh water, litter care, playtime, and any other routines. For dog walks, I’ll prioritize safety and follow your preferences for routes, pace, and interactions with other dogs. I’ll also send photos and updates after each visit so you know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

I have the strength to keep bigger dogs away from others if necessary. I also am capable of running with dogs.

“Karina was absolutely wonderful! She was incredibly patient with my pup who was very unsure about the walks at first. She gave me verbal progress reports about their walks and how he did. She communicated well if she was running late or if we had to adjust our scheduled walks. Highly recommend her and most definitely would book her again for future walks!”
“Chen was on-time, professional, and maintained excellent communication throughout Raven’s dog walk. She provided multiple pictures as well which was very helpful. She also went above and beyond while Raven was going through a bout of diarrhea. Would definitely book Chen again!”
About: Here’s what you should know before booking with me: - I’ve been on this app since May 2023 - I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 14, and I love them. They're one of my favorite animals, and I always treat them with patience and gentleness. - I can let you know how many pets I’m currently looking after if you’d like. - I usually reply pretty quickly, so feel free to reach out anytime! - I’m all about spending quality time with your pet. Whether it’s backyard playtime, walks around the neighborhood, or visits to the park, let me know what your pet loves most! - Crates are only used if requested by the pet owner. - I pay close attention to whether it makes sense to separate pets, and we can chat about this when you book. - I’ve got 4 years’ experience caring for cats. - I’ve given injections to dogs before, and if there’s anything specific I need to know for other pets, I’m happy to learn! - Need pet pickup or drop-off?

Since I’m around for most of the day at home, I can make sure they’re well taken care of, entertained, and feeling loved while you’re away. At my place or at the owner’s house, I always make sure to give pets the love and care they deserve by providing them with food, fresh water, and plenty of playtime. I also make it a point to follow their instructions on feeding, giving medication, and tending to any special needs. I believe it's important to make the pets feel at ease and secure while also honoring their owners' rules and routines.
About: I absolutely love caring for animals. I used to be a receptionist at a vet clinic and love meeting new pets. I am a dog owner myself, which has allowed me to learn more about dogs and their individual needs. I have experience administering oral medications. I have also learned to figure out if something is wrong, or if they need medical care. I will make sure to care for your pet as if it was my own. I know it’s hard leaving our pets so please let me know what I can do to make it as comfortable as possible for you and your pet. I recently moved to New Jersey and I’m currently unemployed. I am a mom to a toddler, and I’m unable to do any long term overnight stays, but may make an exception if it’s only a day. I can feed your pet, administer medication, take them on walks or just simply hang out so they are not lonely while you are gone.
“Diane was such a friendly and communicative walker. She walked my 10 month old golden retriever puppy while I was away for a business trip. She walked him twice a day and left comments every single time and sent me pictures . I would definitely be using her services again and highly recommend her ?”
About: Hey! I’m an animal lover based in Seattle, offering boarding, house sitting, doggy day care, drop-ins, and walks. I love small and midsize dogs and cats who just want some real one-on-one attention — and cats have a special place in my heart, I’ve done cat sitting many times and love it. 🏡 Boarding — Your pup stays with me at my place, which has a fully fenced yard, so lots of safe outdoor time and zoomies included. I’m happy to host dogs who are cool hanging out with other dogs too — I keep it small and match personalities so everyone gets along. Feeding, walks, playtime, fresh water, and photo updates the whole stay. ☀️ Doggy day care — I work from home, so I’m around and available all day for drop-off and pick-up whenever fits your schedule. Your dog gets playtime, fresh air in the fenced yard, and good company (mine and other pups’, if they’re social) the whole time they’re with me. 🏠 House sitting — I come stay at your place so your pet doesn’t have to leave their bed, routine, or home. Feeding, walks, play, litter, fresh water, and I’ll keep things looking lived-in while you’re away. One household at a time — no juggling multiple homes. 🚪 Drop-in visits — Quick feeding, water, litter, potty breaks, and some play, with photos every visit so you know all is well. 🐕 Dog walks — Walks paced to your dog — chill senior strolls or a good brisk outing, whatever they’re into. 😺 Cat care — Cats are honestly my favorite. I’ve cat sat many times and know how to earn their trust — quiet, patient, on their terms. Litter, feeding, play, and lots of good company. Why me: calm, attentive, work from home so I’m flexible all day, love dogs and especially cats (lots of cat sitting experience), fenced yard for boarding and daycare, totally fine with multi-dog households, easy to reach, and comfortable with senior or special-needs pets. Hours: 8AM–10PM. I am available for dog boarding, dog day care, dog walking and house-sitting for cats and dogs during the week, at weekends and holidays. And I will be thrilled to take a good care of all dogs and cats. Cheers! I love dogs and cats. I offer dog walks and cat feeding services now in the neighborhood. I can also do Housesitting during the week and weekends.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for years through family and friends, and I’m always the person they trust to watch their pets. I genuinely love animals, and dogs tend to feel comfortable with me very quickly. I have experience with small and medium-sized dogs, and I’m comfortable adapting to different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I’m especially patient with more anxious or sensitive dogs. I have an anxious dog of my own, which has taught me how to read body language, build trust, and create a calm, safe environment. I’m very attentive and detail-oriented, so I always follow care instructions closely, whether it’s feeding schedules, medications, or specific routines. I can also help reinforce basic training like leash manners and structure during walks. My goal is to make every dog feel cared for, understood, and happy while giving owners complete peace of mind. I treat every dog like my own and always keep communication open and consistent. I’m available Thursday through Sunday, with the most flexibility on weekends. On Thursdays and Fridays, I work part-time and am home by early afternoon, so I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and evening care. I prioritize safety, trust, and clear communication above everything. I follow each pet’s routine closely and take the time to understand their individual needs, behaviors, and comfort levels. I have a fenced yard for safe outdoor time, as well as a very friendly Shihpoo who is used to being around other dogs. I always supervise interactions and make sure every dog feels comfortable and secure. I also have a pet camera at home for added monitoring, and a baby gate if a dog feels more comfortable in a smaller, more confined space. I’m especially mindful with more anxious dogs, as I have one of my own, so I understand the importance of patience and creating a calm, safe environment.
About: I have been working with dogs for on and off for 13 years. I love all animals and go above and beyond for all of them. I enjoy walking, running, and hiking and would love to take your dogs with me. If your dog is not able to walk, run, or hike then I would not mind hanging with them in the yard. I also spoil any dog I am around with treats and all the toys I can (as long as it is ok with the owners of course). If you have any more questions about me please do not hesitate to ask me, I am very open and I truly do not know what else to say here. I'm currently working full time at a personal injury firm in Paramus but can take care of your puppies before and after work and on the weekends if need be. I can't have pets in my apt, I am very sorry for the inconvenience this might cause. But I can always come to you and your animals.

No matter the size, I am confident that I am capable to care and love your dog as needed! You’ll be passing up a great opportunity! Once your dog meets me you’ll forget passed sitters!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Elmwood Park
Florence is great! She is an excellent communicator and was super accommodating with last-minute availability. She is so friendly with my dog, follows my directions perfectly, and he gets excited to see her. I’ve already used her multiple times and will definitely continue to. Highly recommend!
Ashley was GREAT!! She filled in while our regular walker was away for the Labor Day holiday weekend and she was OUTSTANDING! She was very punctual, great with her communication with us and she took outstanding care of our dog. We would DEFINITELY recommend her to anyone and if we are in need again, she will be our go to person!
I went abroad and needed someone to check on my dog and give him some extra love while he stayed with my dad. Erica was amazing and went above and beyond my expectations! She sent several photos of him, which were the highlight of my day while I was missing him so much. I would absolutely recommend her and will use her next time we go away!
I have used Liz multiple times, and she's been wonderful every time! She's so sweet with my dog, takes her time, and genuinely cares. I always appreciate the updates and photos after each walk, and she's consistently punctual and responsive. I will definitely continue booking with her.
Amelia was absolutely wonderful with Bishop! She was available on very short notice, which was such a huge help, and she made the whole experience completely stress-free. She was caring, dependable, and kept us updated, giving us peace of mind knowing Bishop was happy and well looked after. It was clear she treated him like one of her own. We are so thankful for her flexibility, kindness, and excellent care. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Amelia again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate dog walker!
I can't say enough about Elizabeth! She was wonderful! I was so worried about finding a dog walker, and she eased my fear. She's definitely confident when it comes to larger breed dogs, the size and look of my dog did not faze her! The initial meet and greet went well! And I think it helped with the relationship between her and my dog.. I'm so relieved that we have someone that we can count on! And someone that my dog likes, and it comfortable to go on walks with! Thanks Elizabeth!! See you next time! 😉
Daisy trusted Michelle the moment she met her and is so happy when she drops in for her visits. She is very attentive to her needs, responds quickly to my messages and is flexible with me. She has a very calming demeanor to her which is exactly what my anxious Daisy needs. Highly recommend!

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
