“Richard walked our two dogs for the first time recently and the experience exceeded my expectations. Both are extra large dogs--80 and 130 pounds. Not easy customers (both react to deer, dogs, etc.), but he managed them very capably. He was very knowledgeable, timely, and attuned to the dogs needs, as well as agreeable to work with. Will definitely book him again.”

“Maria was fabulous. She was consistent and kind and Kev fell in love with her. She was always quick to respond to messages and gave daily feedback on his walks. We will definitely reach out to her again!”

About: Before Rover I didn’t have much experience with dogs if I’m being honest. The only experience I had prior with a dog was a baby pitbull and that was for about a year. That being said, despite the lack of experience I had, I have gained more experience from caring for dogs on Rover. My love for animals in general is why I am open to continue learning. I will still provide the same love, care and affection for a dog as I would a cat. My daily and weekly routine is very open for pet care. I am currently on maternity leave so I have lots of availability throughout my days. I treat them like their family and not strangers or “just for the money type of thing”. If the client has special requests as far as how they would want their pet taken care of, I would follow those requests and update the clients along the way.

“Did such an amazing job with my puppy! She was very helpful and gave some great tips and knowledge about dogs ◡̈ looking forward to being able to have her watch my dog again!”

“Shaina was a great help while I was away on vacation. I had peace of mind knowing she was there to handle daily walks. She kept me updated daily and I know Munch looked forward to his walks with her too! Thanks Shaina!”

“Ann was excellent!”

“We were in Pittsburgh for our wedding and were lucky enough to book with a few days notice. She was responsive and communicative. Very easy to book with and seemed capable of handling our awkward and anxious catahoula tripod.”

“McKenna was great with my energetic pup! He can sometimes be scared of new people but he loved her immediately and was happy and tired after his walk. She was easy to communicate with and sent so many cute pictures. Would definitely recommend and use McKenna’s services again.”

Samantha K.

“Kind and caring.”

Beth G.

“Hannah was fantastic! She was very flexible and easy to work with. I loved the communication and notes she wrote after every visit. My dog and I will definitely miss having her around.”

About: As a lifetime lover of all friends furry and fluffy, I’m passionate about giving cats and dogs all the joy and love they can possibly get! I have a 2 year old “free range” holland lop bunny who loves to keep me on my toes! I have many years experience with a variety of pets, particularly rabbits and dogs, and would be thrilled to be another human playing a role in helping to take care of yours! I do work full time, however I’m lucky to have a flexible schedule that allows for some daytime walks and well deserved treats for your furry loved ones! Whatever your pets’ routines—from feeding and refreshing water, to scooping litter boxes or going for walks, as well as all the playtime and cuddles in between—I am here to ensure they are well cared for and feeling the love. Your pets are your family and caring for them is just as important to me as caring for my own!

“Kristin is so great! She sends us lots of updates when she takes Jets on walks, she has been so helpful with us getting Jet adjusted to his new house. We will continue to use Kristin for walks! :)”

About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my personalized approach, adaptability, and specialized skills. I have experience caring for pets of all ages, from training puppies with patience and consistency to providing gentle care for senior pets with unique health needs. My focus on building trust with both pets and owners ensures peace of mind. Additionally, I prioritize clear communication and tailor routines to meet each pet’s emotional and physical needs, creating a safe, loving environment. My dedication to treating every pet like family truly sets me apart. Pet care fits into my routine through dedicated time blocks for feeding, walks, play, and grooming. Mornings often begin with feeding and walks, ensuring pets start their day energized. Midday or evening, I schedule additional walks and interactive play sessions to keep them active and mentally stimulated. Weekly tasks include grooming, restocking supplies, and maintaining their living spaces. I integrate these responsibilities seamlessly into my schedule to provide consistent and attentive care, ensuring their needs are always prioritized. Caring for pets involves tailored routines based on the pet’s needs and owner preferences. This includes providing regular walks for exercise and fresh air, ensuring proper feeding schedules, maintaining clean living spaces, and offering companionship to keep pets emotionally healthy. Whether at home or in a client’s residence, I prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency, treating each pet with love and respect as if they were my own.

“Laura is amazing!! 10/10 recommendation for dog walking and extra cuddles and love during the day.. my dog Romeo loves her! Great communication!!”

About: I am a big dog lover and I have grown up around all sorts of animals. I love to hike and will take your dog with me! I also love cuddles, playing fetch, and anything else that your dog likes. I have experience with small and big dogs, as well as other animals. I am happy to meet all of your dogs needs! I have a house with all wood floors, so I happily take puppies that need a little help getting potty trained. I also recently fenced my yard! My pup is an escape artist so I have a dog gate that prevents dogs from getting out of my front door when I open it. If your dog is a puller on leash, I am very used to that! :) I am a big believer in positive training--I am happy to take puppies/dogs that are sensitive/need some extra help warming up. I think that fear-based/negative reinforcement training (things like yelling at dogs/pinning them to the ground--things that trainers still unfortunately do) are very bad and hurtful for dogs. You can assured that your dog will only receive encouragement and pets and treats at my house :) Also, one of my dogs has a disease that requires a daily pill and monthly shot, so I am very familiar with injections and pills. (I take medicine very seriously as I know the consequences can be dire of missing a dose). A little about me: I grew up in Montana and recently moved to Storrs upon graduation with my BA; I am looking to earn a little additional income and spend some time with dogs. I am a graduate student at UConn in the department of economics, currently. My schedule is fairly flexible and allows me to get home often. Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have. I work from home other than a few hours a week, so I have plenty of time to exercise and spend time with your pup! I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs! I only take one client and a time and I always do careful introductions with you there. In my home, we are careful and have supervised play time with toys.

“Thank you for going out of your way to take care of Sandy!”

About: I have years of experience with large breed dogs, and now a standard poodle puppy of my own! My long haired chihuahua recently passed away at 15, so I have plenty of experience with small dogs. I love dogs, truly, and even the parts that aren’t great like my when my super senior chihuahua was still alive and needed extra care that comes with old age or cleaning up puppy messes. I’m experienced in dog medical issues, pill times, vet visits, surgeries, heart problems, and even the dog Heimlich maneuver. I work full time from 0600-2:30 pm usually, with weekends free. I’m available before work if you live close to me or my job by the RNO airport and I’m free after 4 pm. I have some flexibility the closer to me or my workplace you are! I do not have a yard at my apartment but there is a dog park on-site! Multiple walks a day, including my lunch for puppy time, if crating is needed please bring the crate with the dog as my chihuahua does not get crated and my puppy only crates at night. I do allow dogs on furniture, and if a large puppy or small dog breed of chihuahua makes you or your dog nervous for home stays, I am willing to do a meet-and-greet first. Once you meet my chihuahua his well-trained and gentle manner will speak for itself. My puppy is a sweetheart who is eager to please! I currently work full time Monday to Friday in an office environment. I’m home most weekends and spend my lunch with my puppy. I’m usually done with work around 3-4 pm I always ask if there is a yard and if it’s fenced. I like to know where leashes and bags are for walks too! Toys and treats, especially for kitties, are important!

“Rachael was honest about what time she could be at my house to take Basil outside and was true to her word. She took my dog for a walk and sent 2 pictures of him. I was aware of her bathroom breaks and she gave me information about his behavior which was great to hear because he's still a puppy. I will definitely rebook Rachael in the future!”
