“Heather helped me out by taking my two for a long walk. This is my second time needing her help and would use her again. She made it feel easy to leave my dogs for a long day.”
“James is super sweet with our pups. They challenged him but with his patience and tender persistence, their first off leash solo walk was a success! Thank you James, we are looking forward to having you take them on more walks.”
“Sarah was absolutely wonderful, she took great care of our girl Minuit. She fed her, and gave her love and attention. She asked about Minuit's personality and habits and that was a very nice touch. Would absolutely recommend :)”
“Tanya was so good with izzie! Sweet, comforting, and patient. Izzie is a bit timid and Tanya went out of her way to make her comfortable. She was understanding of my change of plans and will definitely use her again to walk Izzie. Thanks Tanya!”
“Rowyn met with me and my two dogs prior to our scheduled walking. She was great with them and showed clear knowledge of dogs and enthusiasm. She was easy to communicate with, as well as accommodating and gracious with last minute changes I made to my booking.”
About: I had dogs around since I can remember. My family fostered dogs through a shelter, and so I have had experience with many dog breeds and sizes. I aim to bring dogs joy and a calm, happy visit together. I work part time in retail, which leaves me with plenty of time for drop ins and walks during other people’s work days. I walk, bike, and bus around the valley, so I may already be out and about I always operate with caution, whether it be keeping an eye out for cars, other dogs, or passers by, I will protect any pets as if they are my own. I believe all pets to be precious and worthy of patience and understanding.

About: Hi pet parents!! I take care of every pet like they’re my own. I have two cats of my own and have also looked after dogs, cats, and guinea pigs. I make sure every pet is happy and thriving, and I like to send regular updates so you know they’re more than okay while you’re away. Hi pet parents! I’m available for pet care and can adjust to fit your needs. I’m currently between 9 to 5 roles, which gives me flexibility to care for your pets whenever they need me. I know cats especially feel most comfortable in their own space, so when caring for pets in their home, I follow their usual routines, provide affection and supervision, and make sure they feel safe and relaxed.
About: I’ve worked with animals for 10 years, starting as a dog groomer and day-care worker! I have done house and animal care for the last five years as a way to hang out with pets while I can’t have my dog with me. I am happy with all breeds and ages of animals, and love to be active and outside so if your dog loves a good walk I will be their friend!

“Alexio was reliable, flexible, a good communicator and deeply cares about the well being and good manners of our dog Maisy. He provided mid-day walks M-F for the entire school year. I trust him, have recommended him for friends, and hope he’ll be available when we need him next!”

My job is based on volume and is generally 6 to 8 hour day. I work 5 minutes from my house and at anytime if needed I would be able to run home for a potty or medication break My dogs are my world. I provide the up most safety standards for all of the furry paws that come into my life. I believe in treating everyone pets in a manner that I would expect mine to be. I have gone above and beyond to provide a secure fenced in yard. I also have a gate between the living area of my house and the front door to keep dogs from running out.
About: I've been my family and friends go to pet sitter for as long as I can remember. I'm moving to a new apartment that doesn't allow dogs, so I wanted to get my dog time in through Rover and help pet parents along the way. I work from home and have very open availability. I’d love to be you’re substitute for a couple of days or even be a scheduled visitor or walker! I really enjoy the outdoors and love to take dogs on walks/hikes but can also go the chill route. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I will have to go to you though as my apartment does not allow animals. I like to receive instructions from each pet parent and follow accordingly. I ask lots of questions regarding feeding schedule, temperament, activity level, special requests or needs. I send lots of pics too! I do not let dogs that I'm sitting for interact with other dogs.
About: I have been the proud dog dad of Franklin, a rescue 14 year old terrier mix, for over 9 years, who suffers from separation anxiety. More recently, I have cared for him through eye removal surgery as well as terminal joint and heart issues. As a result, I have experience giving oral, ocular and topical medications. I have this experience with other dogs as well, as I am always quick to volunteer for any opportunity to walk or babysit a friend or families dog - even going so far as to visit dogs rather than people at family weddings. I'm currently unemployed, so 100% of the time I'm not with my dog I can and want to spend taking care of your dog! Please check my schedule or reach out. First and foremost, I care for animals by showing them love and respect. When it comes to caring for your pet, I will conscientiously follow all instructions you provide and never put your pet in any danger.

“James is very professional and knowledgeable and has a quiet confidence that is very effective with our high energy dog. Looking forward to more walks together in the future!”
About: I have had small animals and a dog, and have cared for dogs, cats, horses, and fish. I am completely in love with all creatures big or small, and I've dedicated a lot of my time to the care of animals. I have recently worked at a dog boarding facility, so I have lots of experience with administering medication to animals, and tending to their specific needs. Me and my family are all super passionate about animals, especially dogs. I will love your baby just as much as I love my own, and make sure all their needs are met. My weekdays are not typically very busy so I can come and take your dog for a walk or play with your cats pretty much any time, given enough notice. Thank you so much for considering me to care for your best friend! I try to vary my jobs so my schedule changes often, but always ask! I am currently getting my BSN at HCC, but time management is no problem for me :) I do not have a fenced yard, but I do have a big field to the side of my house that my dog runs around in. I'm sure your pets will enjoy running with him. In terms of taking care of pets in my client's homes, I treat their belongings with utmost care and tact. I would definitely dislike anyone messing with my house, so I try to treat other people's houses with the same respect I would expect them to treat mine with. "leave everything as you found it or better"
“Saige aka Ziggy was an absolute dog whisperer. Ziggy took great care of my dog, which allowed me to relax and enjoy my vacation. If you’re looking for a dog sitter or walker, stop searching. One report card wrote “An aggressive dog approached Boone, I stepped in front of Boone and the other dog ran off.” I mean talk about CARE & SAFETY. ⭐️ x 5”
“So happy!!! I always stress about leaving Odys at home when I’m working longer days and Alexis has been AMAZING! Sending me videos, pictures, and summarizing their time together! So great!”

Florence dog parents share their Rover experiences
Tanya is terrific. She is conscientious and caring. She followed up with me and led me through the process to ensure she knew everything needed. And she took great care of our dog. Trusted her completely and our dog was absolutely comfortable. I would absolutely work with her again.
We have been working with Sharene for 10 months now. She regularly comes to walk our one year old pup. Sharene is excellent at communicating changes to her schedule with advanced notice, and she’s accommodating when we need to make last-minute changes. In June of 2024, Sharene stayed at our house for a week while we were away. Our puppy was recovering from surgery, we were worried to leave her, but Sharene took excellent care of her. It was a huge relief to know that Sharene had everything well in hand. I would not hesitate to recommend Sharene for responsible and attentive pet care!
