“Charlotte is an incredibly reliable, skilled, and kind dog owner/handler. Watching her with her own pup is so sweet, and I have never hesitated to ask her first to watch my dogs. She can handle big and energetic dogs with confidence, and has lots of experience working with dogs of various temperaments through her volunteering in rescue work. She knows when to break out the treats too! Again, Charlotte is a very reliable and trustworthy person!”

About: Your furry and leafy friends are in great hands! I specialize in meticulous care for senior pets and love meeting furry friends of all ages. With hands-on experience tending to an elderly dog as well as my own granny cat, I understand the patience and attention to detail required for their well-being. I’d be thrilled to care for your dog or cat! Bonus: As a plant parent of over 50 indoor plants (it’s a problem), I know how hard it can be to find care for your chlorophyll companions 🌵 if you need your green companions cared for alongside your pets, I’ve got you covered! I work a remote job with flex time based in another time zone, so I have a lot of flexibility when it comes to pet care. Having used Rover for my own cat’s care, I know it can be daunting to have a stranger come into your home. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priorities, and I ensure a secure, loving environment while respecting your home. Expect thorough updates and thorough documentation!

16. Jake K.
About: 10+ years of experience, mostly in addition to work as a babysitter &/or housesitter. have cared for puppies as young as 6 mos, up to three dogs at once, and older dogs with specialized care needs. Current grad student at UMass. Only required to be on campus around 10 hrs/wk, the rest of my work is remote. As a result, I’ve plenty of flexibility in my schedule. My priority is working with you to ensure your pet receives the kind of card it needs & wants. I do not have yard space in my home, so it is my goal to provide as much active outdoor exploration/play time as possible (rain or shine, of course!)
17. Alexio S.
“Alex came on time, actually had a plan to be sure he wouldn’t be late (our place can be alittle hard to find). I am impressed with his gentle attention with our dogs, AND he used some spot on positive clicker techniques with our gigantic puppy. H highly recommend Alex as a dig walker.”
18. Sharene K.
“Sharene has a patient, gentle manner with animals. She was able to accommodate a last minute booking to check on my puppy midday, while I worked, and she was flexible when I needed to cancel a booking due to sickness. Easy to work with, and prompt to arrive.”
19. Andy R.
“Andy is great! My little dog was comfortable & happy walking with Andy from the moment he picked up her leash. After their walk my dog watched him , wagging her tail, relaxed & happy. Thanks so much Andy! Looking forward to our next walk.”
20. Alexis K.
“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!”
