“Great, energetic young man who is just tremendous. Judson T has been walking our large Bernese Mtn dog for several weeks ( and into the next weeks.) as well as Doggy day care in our home. Can’t say enough about this lovely fellow. A privilege to meet his dogs Strider & Winnie May at our request Thanks Judson!”

“Chelsea is wonderful! As a new pup mom was a bit anxious about getting all this started and how it would go for Maggie. Chelsea made it so easy, answered all my questions, shares pictures of their time together and assures Maggie is well cared for, couldn’t be happier!”

“Marissa went above and beyond for my pup and my roommate's furbabies. Great communicator and extremely compassionate. Highly recommend and we will definitely be requesting marissa again!”

“Kat was very good with my pup. Shes on time, very good with communication and most of provided excellent care for my pup. My shepherd was happy to be her ...such a wonderful vibe.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for 10 years. I was a dog sitter on a military base for years. Plus I have my own 10 year old dachshund that is my best little friend. There’s no such thing as a bad dog, they just all have their own little personalities! I’ve also volunteered in many animal shelters over the past 10 years. I currently work full time as a corrections nurse, however, I miss being around animals and would love to be able to love on doggies before work and on my days off. I work swing shift from 330pm-12am so I am available every day from 6am-2pm and I am available all day on Mon and Tues and every other weekend! I have a mini dachshund who loves other doggies and would gladly come on walks with us! I have a doggy stroller if your pup is older and can’t walk as far but you still want them to get some fresh air. I have no issues crating dogs, taking them on walks, playing with them in the backyard, or taking them to dog parks.
“Bianca is amazing. She’s punctual and communicative. My puppy had just gone into heat and she was so helpful and understanding. She even gave me great ideas on how to create my own “doggy diaper” when Pets Mart was closed!”

“Brooklyn has been fantastic! She’s been walking Hutchins for a while now, and she is always friendly, on time, and quick to reply. My fav is the little anecdotes I get for each walk 😄😄”

About: I’ve had pets since the age of five, and have loved taking care of animals since! I’ve helped take care of plenty of dogs, big and small. I’ve owned Alaskan Malamutes, Labradors, Dobermans, etc and loved to walk them all. I’m good at getting pets to take their medicine and love to give seniors the extra care and attention they deserve. I’ve had several dogs since they were puppies and have potty trained them and taught them neat tricks too! I’m familiar with dog puzzles and other mentally stimulating toys (gotta keep those brains busy!) I’m also comfortable with reactive dogs-I owned an 85lb reactive dog and took him safely on walks and hikes with me. The safety/comfort of the dog and any other people/animals is of the utmost importance. I promise to take care of your baby like they’re my baby. I work until about 2pm but have plenty of time in the afternoons, evenings, and weekends to help take care of or walk your pet! Currently I’m not available to take pets into my home. I have a senior kitty who I am still getting to know and my main goal is to keep her comfortable and safe until I learn how she is around other animals.
About: I am a dog expert of all breeds and age. Schooling for dog care and training Exercise feeding cleaning. Bathing haircuts neil trims dog training. I'm available full time weekdays and weekends plus holidays. Monday- Sunday 8am-4pm Plenty of time to play and take care of your fur babies needs. I offer a fully fenced outdoor yard, a dedicated fenced play area, and a comfortable indoor rest space with heating and air conditioning to keep your pet safe, dry, and comfortable year-round.
About: I have grown up around animals my whole life, from dogs, cats and turtles all the way to horses, goats and chickens! I have had quite a few dogs throughout my life of different breeds and sizes. I regularly watch my family and friend’s pets, from a young spaniel puppy to a big senior Labrador who thinks he’s a puppy. I treat my senior friends with care and affection, wanting them to know nothing but happiness! I have also had a few puppies and understand the patience and care they require, especially when it comes to teaching them manners. I am currently unemployed so pet care will be my full time job! I am completely available everyday at all times to take care of and spend time with your furballs! I have two cats who run my home, they are leash trained and I regularly take them out to explore the backyard and play outside! They are very spoiled and I shower them with treats and toys when I can. When I watch others pets I want to know exactly how they want me to care for their pet, not wanting the animal to have to stray too far off their regular routine, especially when it comes to puppies.
“Maria saved me by walking my 2 dogs at the last minute. She dropped what she was doing to help me, took both of my large, strong dogs, and even braved both in the rain-which I feel terrible about. Not feeling well, she really took charge of both dogs, and headed out. I highly recommend her!”


About: I have taken care of cats and dogs from ages 4 months to 12 years! I like to learn each animals needs and modify my care for them! I work three days a week and keep an open schedule to care for others’ animals the other four days in the week! I have a flexible schedule and can even help on the days I am scheduled at my main job! I always ask for your preferences for your animals! Whether this includes walk length, treats and food, and even mannerisms, I always want to make sure YOU and your animals are comfortable!
“Shelley thank you for your service! My babies looked so happy with you and I appreciate the detailed visit and pictures ! I’ll most definitely be booking you again”

About: I have had dogs or taken care of dogs my whole life. I would walk my neighbors dogs. I would gladly take care of them if needed. I am currently available any day or time. I am retired and want to fill my days taking care of dogs and any other animal. I prefer to stay at your home to care for your pets since they are comfortable there. I have transportation and am happy to meet with your animals before I am hired.
“I was able to get set up with Margherita same day within an hour of booking, truly a life saver and was so great to my baby boy Tyson!! Highly recommend and on time every day ???? really took her time walking Tyson making sure he had all he needed and was walked and fed ❤️ thank you so much!! Will definitely be booking her again ?”

“Michaela is reliable and communicates so well. We have a high anxiety dog who is usually very nervous around new people and our dog has loved her since the very moment he met her.”

About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life and have experience caring for a wide range of pets, including dogs, cats, birds, and guinea pigs. I’ve also spent time working with horses and helping care for barn animals, which has given me a strong understanding of different temperaments, routines, and needs. I genuinely love spending time with animals, especially getting dogs out for walks and making sure they feel happy, safe, and cared for. When I’m responsible for a pet, I treat them as if they were my own. I pay close attention to every detail, from feeding routines to exercise needs and any specific instructions you provide. I take pet care seriously and understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. My goal is to give you peace of mind while making sure your pet feels comfortable, loved, and well cared for at all times. I work part-time, so I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate a variety of needs, including daytime walks, drop-in visits, and last-minute requests when available. I understand how important it is to trust someone in your home. I’m very respectful of your space and always follow any instructions you leave closely. I keep things clean, secure, and consistent with your pet’s routine so they feel comfortable and safe. I also make sure doors are locked, pets are secure, and I’m happy to provide updates so you have peace of mind while you’re away.
First Place dog parents share their Rover experiences
My GSD is a challenge to walk and requires long walk rain or shine. Chelsea took on her challenge by giving her lots of love and attention. She showed up rain, cold and shine. She is reliable and communication was frequent. Thank you Chelsea for being Maggie's BFF while I was away.

Shelbi has been great when getting to know me and my pup. She came over when I needed her unexpectedly to support my puppy when I had to work late. I’m beyond grateful for her help and enjoy knowing my puppy will get to spend time walking with her when I can’t.
