“We recently started working with Chelsea to walk our dog, and it’s been such a wonderful addition to his daily routine. Chelsea is consistent, patient, and kind—everything we were looking for in a dog walker. I highly recommend Chelsea to those also looking for a walker!”
“Tracy is excellent! She is punctual and reliable and communicates her schedule/availability ahead of time. She provides an update for my dog Toby’s walks. Thanks so much Tracy!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats most of my life. I traded pet sitting with neighbors. The dogs usually stayed with me and my family. I’m attentive and detail oriented. I love animals and have empathy for them. I’m retired so have an open schedule. I can stay overnight or spend hours checking in with pets. I’m open to cats and dogs. I would prefer up to medium sized dogs for walking. I’m very active so have endurance to take longer walks. We had my father in laws senior dog (poodle mix) for several years. One of my cats lived until almost 18 years old and I gave her a few fluid injections when her kidneys were failing. I’m currently retired. I have extra time so pet sitting would work out well for me. My schedule is very flexible. I have a new car and it’s very reliable. I live in a condo with my son and cat. Pet sitting at someone’s home works out best for me. I’m on the second floor so not as conducive taking a dog outside.
“Bella & Marcus made Bunker feel right at ease and they were timely and prompt for his walks. They exceeded our expectations with playing with him in the backyard to get him comfortable. We appreciate Bella and Marcus greatly.”
“Really sweet, fun, and natural with dogs! My dog is young and can act rowdy and Jessica was really great with him and asked what tricks to use in different circumstances! Always wore him out on walks too. :)”
About: I have owned small, big and medium dogs over the course of my life and I’d say I handle them great! Training my bigger dogs was a challenge but we definitely got there! I work full time and I’m studying currently to become a vet assistant! I have plenty of time to drive out and play and walk with your dogs :) I am currently only doing at the clients home work, I can crate and walk and do all the requirements needed for your dog in your household!
“Lillia is super responsible - she responds to messages very quick and calls my number when she has questions when walking dog. She also plays with my dog in the backyard when my dog is not willing to walk :) Overall pretty great experience for me and my dog!”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have experience caring for different breeds and personalities. I provide basic training, reinforce good behavior, and offer enrichment to keep dogs mentally and physically engaged. Connecting with animals is always a blessing to me, and I treat every pet like my own by paying close attention to their needs, routines, and comfort. I strive to create a safe, loving, and reliable experience for both pets and their owners. After recently losing my 5-year-old pit bull to a health issue, I’ve gained an even deeper appreciation for the bond we share with animals. I do work from home right in front of my backyard. so it gives me the ability to be able to play/watch and take your pet out whenever needed. provide a safe, fully fenced backyard where your dog can roam and play under supervision. If your dog prefers walks, I also live in a great neighborhood for longer, on-leash outings. I tailor care to each pet’s needs, whether that’s exercise, playtime, or a more relaxed routine. I take cleanliness and safety very seriously, and I thoroughly sanitize between each pet to ensure a healthy environment.
“Jenna was so great to work with and very flexible with the scheduling. Jenna accommodated the requests as Po (my pup) was a little shy to walk. Will definitely use Jenna’s services in the future.”
About: Hi! I’m Karly — a lifelong animal lover, experienced pet sitter, and proud dog mom to my 11-year-old Golden Yorkie, Bentley, who truly means the world to me. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do — it’s who I am. I’ve been around dogs and cats my entire life and have been pet sitting since my teens. I have experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments — from energetic puppies to senior pets who need a slower pace, extra patience, and a little extra TLC. As a senior dog mom myself, I’m very comfortable administering medications and carefully following detailed feeding, care, and exercise routines. I’m also confident with large breeds. My sister and brother-in-law have an English Mastiff whom I’ve pet-sat for extended periods and continue to provide regular drop-in visits for. As a devoted pet parent, I understand how hard it can be to leave your furry family member. You can expect dependable, attentive care, detailed updates, and photos while you are away for peace of mind. I treat every pet like my own — with patience, love, and attentive care. I’m genuinely passionate about making sure your pet feels safe and happy. I offer flexible scheduling, including evenings and weekends, and welcome consistent or last-minute bookings when available. I would be honored to care for your fur baby! I work from home during the week, which allows me flexibility to schedule reliable midday drop-in visits. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I intentionally build my schedule to ensure each visit receives my full attention. I’m also available evenings and weekends and welcome both consistent weekly clients and last-minute bookings when availability allows. For drop-in visits, I focus on maintaining your pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. Each visit includes potty breaks, fresh water, feeding according to your instructions, playtime or enrichment based on your pet’s energy level, and of course plenty of affection. I carefully follow all care instructions, including medication schedules, crate routines, or any special needs. I also monitor behavior, appetite, and overall well-being during each visit to ensure everything feels normal and healthy. In your home, I’m respectful, tidy, and mindful of security. I make sure doors are locked, alarms are set if needed, and everything is left exactly as I found it. You’ll receive detailed updates and photos after every visit so you can feel confident your pet is safe and happy. My goal is to provide dependable, attentive care that gives both you and your pet peace of mind.
About: I have a small dog of my own and used to take care of a sibling’s dog. I’m lovable, attentive to needs, and caring. I had cared for my own dog for twelve years before she passed away. I cared for a sibling’s pet for about a year, making sure he was groomed, healthy, and happy. I’ll care for your pet as if it’s my own and I’ll make sure your pet gets the care that they deserve. I see pets as friends and family and I’ll make sure they get treated as such with love, patience, compassion, and respect. Pets give me joy and I am honored to be able to spend time with them and give them all that they deserve. Your pets will be safe, happy, and healthy in my presence. I currently work part-time as a barista and part-time as a DoorDasher. I fit pet care into the gaps of my work life. I make sure pets are well taken care of. I care for pets in my home and client’s homes by making sure I leave the home better than what it started and make sure pets are more than satisfied.
“Kahla is great!! She always sent photos during the walks & did a great job at marking all the times that Snow went #1 & #2. Snow looked happy in the photos! I would definitely book again!”
About: We have been caring for dogs for many years. Starting from puppies to full grown dogs over the years and know how to understand what a dog needs for a healthy, happy, and full life. Aharon works from home most of the time. With just one dog at home it would be easy to add another. It’s easy to add another to the pack! We take our dogs outside for exercise twice a day and have play sessions in between. We have 1200 sqft of interior space for the dogs to play and chill with a fenced backyard. There’s also a dog park almost right in our backyard where we go to all the time. The area is residential and lots of families around that know us.
“Daniel took care of Luna for daily breakfast feedings and morning walks while we were gone on an international trip. We knew we could rely on Daniel to get the job done.”
About: Hello, I have been pet sitting for neighbors, friends and through spreading word of mouth since I was a teen. I enjoy being around animals. I'm currently working for an events company. I can pick up the shifts I'd like to work. I am flexible and have time to spend with your beloved pet. I can follow directions very well. I like going on walking adventures and showing dogs care and attention. I enjoy being around dogs, so it's a two way thing.
Fairwood dog parents share their Rover experiences
Abbi has been wonderful with walking our dog over the last few months. She’s been extremely reliable and always on time. Sadly, Abby is moving a little further away from our place and we will not be able to use her as often anymore, but I’m hoping that she’s able to get some great clients down south as well. Thank you again Abbi.
Erin has been absolutely amazing with Oscar. She walks him every day, is always on time, and consistently goes above and beyond. I really appreciate the detailed updates and photos after each walk — it gives me peace of mind knowing he’s in such good hands. She’s also so thoughtful with my cats and always takes time to give them attention too, which means a lot. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the animals she works with. Highly recommend Erin to anyone looking for someone reliable, caring, and communicative!
Daniel was so prompt and enthusiastic. He clearly cares about taking great care of my elderly dog. Asked lots of really pertinent questions. Helped me get to know the Rover app and system (it was my first time using the app and I misunderstood some stuff). Looking forward to having extra help taking care of my dog.
We are so lucky to have found Alison. Right away we could tell she was someone who “gets” dogs- identifying and accommodating their individual quirks, needs, etc. You can always tell when someone is passionate about dogs, and it’s obvious this is her calling! It’s a huge relief to be able to trust that our girls are in the best possible hands.
Jessica is very professional and did great with our dog. Our dog can be nervous with new people or strangers, and Jessica's calm pressence really put him at ease. She followed all of our instructions perfectly and provided great notes quickly after the walk. Will def be going with Jessica for our future dog walking and pet sitting needs.
We just started working with Katelyn a couple mo tbd ago with weekly walks for our reactive and anxious dog, to get her used to a new person so we can use Katelyn when we are out of town. It’s been a wonderful experience, she is so patient with our Luna and so good with her! She knows exactly how to approach anxious dogs and Luna is warming up to her quicker than she usually does. Katelyn is also excellent at communication and very pleasant to talk to. We are so excited to have found a local pet sitter who is so great!
