“Erick has been an amazing dog walker. We are so happy to have found someone that has the knowledge about dogs to help our excitable husky and is not intimidated at all. Erick's walks help our dog's energy levels, but also gives him enrichment.”
About: I have grown up around animals, taking care of two dogs since I was a kid. I have watched and walked my neighbors and family friends dogs for years, letting me develop my pet care skills. My willingness to go above and beyond allows me to give complete and amazing care for your animals! I am always taking care of animals at home. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to care for multiple dogs multiple times a week. My attentiveness and focus when watching pets allows for complete care and safety. I ensure pets are well fed, use the bathroom when they need to, and give them the attention they crave.
“Cheryl and Elmar took such great care of our dog Peanut! They were even able to accommodate us when we needed emergency doggy care on short notice after our flights were canceled - we are so grateful! Peanut also had so much fun on his walks with them, he was so excited and waited by the door for them! Highly highly recommend!”
“Peter is an enthusiastic and considerate pet care provider! He did an excellent job walking our large dog, taking the time to learn about her tendencies and needs, making sure to accommodate her allergies and health issues. He’s also very prompt and very polite. Will absolutely hire him again!”
“Alina really helped me in a pinch, visiting from out of town but needing dog walks while here. She was communicative, responsive, punctual and, best of all, she clearly loves dogs & walking! My little guy was always happy to see her and walk with her.”
About: I've had a love for animals as long as I can remember. As a young child finding strays , cats or dogs and caring for them until the owners where found. Love these fur babies and will care for them like my own. I am currently unemployed and love animals and walking -perfect fit! My schedule is open to help when needed. Would love to schedule a meetup with your fur baby. Each pet has its own routine to be discussed prior to my care. Will follow the needs of each pet individually and any additional requirements as needed.

Taking care of animals brings me so much joy. Theres really nothing like the love of a pet. I am meticulously clean, I am very detail oriented and treat the dogs I care for as if they were my own.

“Rebecca is great! She showed up on time and took great care of my Tilly girl, who by the way is a handful as an energetic 1 year old. Rebecca is very responsive/communicative and sent multiple pictures of Tilly every time she came to walk her. I'm definitely going to continue to use Rebecca for routine walks every week.”
“Raquel is very responsible and frendly person.We have a complicated situation, and she responds quickly to our requests. Our dog Lucy is very comfortable with Raquel.Thank you”
About: I have years of experience caring for dogs and cats, including walking, bathing, and ensuring their overall well-being. I previously worked as a dog bather, giving me hands-on experience with different breeds and temperaments. As a dedicated pet lover with three dogs of my own, I understand the importance of patience, exercise, and affection in pet care. Friends and family have come to me for years to look after and walk their pets! My previous experiences has equipped me to handle various energy levels and needs, ensuring each pet gets personalized attention. Whether it’s a fun walk or just some extra love, I always prioritize their happiness and safety. Pet care fits naturally into my routine as a college student with a flexible schedule. I have Mondays, Fridays, and most weekends free, along with availability on Tuesdays after 2 PM and Wednesdays after 12 PM. My schedule allows me to be reliable and accommodating. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize their comfort, routine, and well-being. I follow any specific instructions provided, ensuring meals, walks, and playtime align with their usual schedule. I provide fresh water, give plenty of attention, and make sure they get the exercise they need. If needed, I can also handle light grooming, such as brushing or wiping paws after walks. I always respect the client’s home, keeping it clean and secure while ensuring their pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for in their familiar environment.
About: If you care enough to be here on Rover seeking a pet sitter, you must feel the same as I do; your pet is a family member. As a former veterinary technician, I can attest this is not the case with all people. Whether you use my services or not, I respect you very much for being here and appreciate your devotion to your pet. That being said, my commitment to taking care of animals reaches no bounds. I am a firm believer our pets don't live long enough, and for that reason any moment we can make special for them we should. I want each visit with your pet to be special. I will gladly send you video or text updates if requested. In short, what I want to offer is top-notch veterinary trained experience at an affordable rate. I welcome the opportunity to meet your pet(s)! I invite you to meet my pet family in the pictures below. Personally, I own a very active ten year old whippet pit bull mix. She has special needs and requires six small feedings a day as well as IBS management during times of transition. I have a two year old son who drops food often and I must be diligent about making sure she is not eating his food. I understand pets can be unpredictable and move fast when motivated as a result. It is important to foresee what negative things can happen so I make sure to be proactive while caring for my pets and others as well.
“Kerri & Michael were FANTASTIC! Our doggy Jameo is an old grumpier (sometimes) with soo much energy and they handled him for the week so well. We truly don’t leave Jameo with just anyone because of how he can be. But he loved them both! They were communicative, listened to his cues, took him for long walks (which he looked to love), and went above and beyond!!! So many videos and pictures, I felt so safe leaving him with them. 10/10! They were amazing and were so lucky to have found them!”

Carley G.
“I have known Carley G. for over eight years and during this time I have observed the dedication, loyalty and sensitivity that she has for our four legged friends. As a pet owner who is way too attached to her dog, I enthusiastically recommend Carley as a conscientious and caring pet sitter. I know that she will care for our two boxer puppies as I would. I am more comfortable leaving my animals with Carley because she really relates to each animal individually. Every dog she keeps forms a bond with her. When I leave my babies, it is important for me to know that more than her physical needs will be satisfied. The affection that she receives from Carley makes her separation from me less stressful.”
Michael K.
“Michael is friendly, patient and always prompt. I find him to be very responsible, honest and trustworthy. I wouldn't trust my girl to anyone else! #1 in my book !!”
Anya M.
“Anya is our go-to dog walker and Toby loves her! She’s reliable, flexible and trustworthy. Toby always gets a good walk and comes back tired. Highly recommend!”

Helene has been walking my girl Luna for the past few months, and honestly, I couldn’t ask for anyone better. Luna is sweet but definitely has her quirks. She’s a a tad bit sassy (when it comes to other dogs), super curious, and full of energy. Helene just gets her. And since she's been walking her Luna has been less reactive to people walking by and anything on wheels. With the updates she sends after walks, it’s so clear she truly cares. Luna goes nuts when she sees her. Her tail wags like crazy and she does her strong, happy dance/jump at the door. Now Luna is even aware what time she'll be getting her walk lol. I trust Helene completely. She's reliable, communicative, and so loving with Luna. If you’re looking for someone who will love your dog like their own and handle their "unique" personality with patience and joy, she's basically it!
Ilda is a fantastic dog walker! She’s professional, kind, and always makes sure my dog comes back happy and tired after their walks. It’s clear she cares deeply about animals, and I trust her completely. If you're looking for a reliable and loving dog walker, Ilda is the best!
At my request, Gail arrived earlier than scheduled to pick up Simon. Simon was greeted with hugs and kisses! Unfortunately, Simon didn’t do well in the warmer temp and returned home panting heavily. Gail’s genuine concern for Simon was evident. She stuck around to make sure he was OK. Simon is OK!
Michael has been absolutely wonderful with my dog! From the very first meet-and-greet, he was super warm, professional, and clearly great with animals. My dog instantly felt comfortable, and the walk went smoothly. I really appreciate the updates and photos after the walk. It’s clear that my pup is happy, well exercises and in great hands. Michael is punctual, communicative, and always respectful of my home and routine. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a caring and dependable dog walker. Thank you so much for taking care of my Dashy! We’ll be using Michael for drop in visits and dog sitting soon,
Suzanne is always the first person I go to when I need a dog sitter. I have a 100lb husky German shepherd mix who is very hyper and not easy to handle so I am picky with sitters but Suzanne knows how to handle big dogs. She is also a vet tech so, God-forbid, there’s ever an emergency I know my dog will be in the right hands. She’s also very responsive and reliable. Thank you Suzanne for everything you do!
