About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and genuinely just love being around them. I’m very active, love going on walks, and your dog will definitely get plenty of attention and exercise with me! I’ll treat your pup like my own and make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while you’re away. I am currently a graduate student at USF with a consistent schedule. I love to exercise and go for walks, so your dog will get plenty of exercise with me if they like it! I do a lot of work from home, so will be home with your dog too! When I do have clinic or class, it’s only 2-4 hours at a time I will be gone. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and part of the family while they’re in my home. I love spending time with dogs, so they’ll get lots of attention, walks, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day. I also try to stick to their normal routine as much as possible so they feel relaxed and at home.
“Aaron was great, Diesel loved him. Aaron is very professional, prompt and responsive, such a nice guy and I felt very comfortable with him taking care of my dog.”
“We have loved working with Jordan! She really goes the extra mile when taking care of my pup. He is typically timid with new walkers but she knows exactly how to make him comfortable. They even play a hide and seek game with treats that he loves! It really puts my mind at ease while working knowing that she’s going to be caring for him. Also wonderful communicating when she will be getting there and all details of the visit.”
About: Coming from a family that loves animals, I’ve always been around and taken care of pets. My experience has been walking/petsitting for family and friends, mostly dogs but occasionally cats. I have experience with dogs of all shapes and sizes, and I have a very flexible work schedule. I am currently a student in flight school, which only requires short daily in-person commitment, so I am very flexible with timing. Most of my studying is done online so I am able to care for your pet at any time it is convenient for you. I am unable to provide care in my own apartment due to its size, but I am very clean and respectful of clients homes when visiting for care. I am a great communicator and will respond quickly as well as follow any requests or instructions you make.
“Rylie was amazing, she took care of our baby while we where away! Ensured we were aware of changes and updated us every time she walked him. Will be using booking her services again and highly recommend Ms. Skye to anyone! Thank you again for being amazing!”
“Allison was great! Super friendly and communicative. My plans changed but she was super flexible and understanding and she was great with my hyper puppy. We would definitely have her back!”
“Rachel is amazing! She is always on time, is reliable and goes the extra mile with our pup. Our dog is always happy and tired out after her walks with Rachel! Highly recommend”
About: Ever since I was little I always had a dog and at least four cats. I have a lot of experience with animals of every kind. I am a part time server/bartender so I only really works night and am free during the day! I am super flexible as well so whatever you need during the day I can definitely accommodate! I am fully capable of doing whatever the client needs from me. I can stay the night or drop in multiple times throughout the day. I love the outdoors so I will also give your furry friend an amazing walk.
About: I’ve always loved animals, especially dogs, and have grown to really enjoy caring for cats as well. I have a bunny of my own, so I understand how important it is to give pets daily attention, patience, and love. I’m known by friends and family for being great with animals, and I’ve even been recommended to work at a grooming and dog care store. I’m gentle, reliable, and focused on making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I’m a college student with a flexible schedule, so I can provide reliable dog walking and drop-in visits when your pets need them most. Whether it’s a morning stroll, an afternoon check-in, or some evening cuddle time, I make sure every pet gets exercise, attention, and love. I understand how important it is for pets to feel happy and safe while you’re away, and I tailor my visits to fit their needs—and your schedule! I make sure they’re always supervised, have plenty of water and comfort, and get lots of love and attention. Your pets will have fun and feel cared for while you’re away, so you can return knowing they’re happy and safe!
“Nigel carried my "baby" home the other day because she couldn't make it back on her own. He let me know and checked back in with between visits to see if she was ok. I knew Nigel was special since he began helping me with my dog but he went above and beyond, carrying a 65 pound pit bull home instead of dragging her and using harsh commands. I'm so glad I found him! He is truly a gift.”
About: I have a cat, Pitbull, and chickens so I have a wide range of pet care experience. I have been a sitter multiple times for friends and family and would love to help out anyone who needs a sitter close by to me. I am a full time college student that can do drop in visits twice a day, once in the morning and once later in the afternoon or night. If you need extra care for your pet just let me know and something can be sorted out. My cat is an indoor cat but I do like to bring him places with a little leash. My dog goes outside multiple times a day and tries to play with the chickens we keep in the backyard. Both get lots of love and attention but won’t allow me to bring other animals around so I am available for drop in visits throughout the day for your pets needs.
About: “I have experience pet sitting for friends and family, along with personally raising multiple dogs over the years. I’m familiar with daily care routines like feeding, walking, cleaning up, and making sure pets feel comfortable and safe. I’ve also cared for small animals, including a hamster, so I understand the importance of gentle handling and attention to detail. I treat every pet like family and make sure they get plenty of love, patience, and care.” “I have a pretty open schedule, so pet care fits easily into my day. I’m home most of the time, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, keep up with their routines, and make sure they feel comfortable and not alone. I’m also home in the evenings, so they’ll have consistent care throughout the day and night.” In my home, pets are cared for in a safe, clean, and comfortable environment with plenty of space to relax and play. I have a large indoor area where pets can move around freely and comfortably, as well as a spacious back patio for supervised outdoor time. Pets will have access to regular potty breaks and exercise throughout the day, and there is a nearby dog park and walking trail for additional outdoor activity when appropriate. I provide cozy bedding, toys for enrichment, and treats (with owner approval). I also make sure pets stay on their normal feeding routine and follow any specific instructions given by the owner, including dietary needs or restrictions. If caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routine closely to help pets feel safe and maintain consistency in their environment. My priority is always to ensure pets feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for at all times.
“I have so many other walkers , I can’t find the words to describe how amazing Karla is. Always reliable, willing to always help . I’m extremely grateful, impressed with her dedication and professionalism.”
About: I got my first cat at 10 years old and have had pets in the house ever since. I have two cats and a dog at home now. I am proficient in caring for other people's pets and routinely board and walk the dogs and cats of friends. Comfortable with all sizes of dogs for walking and playing. I can make any day work from 9am-7pm with some advanced notice. I am currently working part time and looking to add in some dog walks and check-ins. I will follow any rules or guideline you require when checking in on your pet. I am incredibly flexible when it comes to how you would like me to go about being in your home and working with your pet.
About: I’m a dogs best friend, I like walking and being outside as much as they do! I grew up in a dog household and then began caring for dogs in clients homes for over 15 years now. I’ve taken care of 5 dogs, 5 cats and 15 rabbits at one time in one household before! I’ve never trained my own pets but I’ve assisted with training by enforcing the clients training commands and wishes. Im in good shape and can hike or go for extra long walks if you have an active animal. I’ll love and treat your dog as if it were my own. I think dogs are the best listeners and I love to mirror their unconditional love. I have several references to put you in contact with per request. I have a flexible schedule right now and would love to fill my open hours with pet visits and dog walking. I’m often available for last minute bookings. I have a fully fenced in backyard available for your dog to run. I do not have my own crates so a crate would need to be provided if necessary.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for pets comes very naturally to me. I grew up in a home with multiple dogs — many of them rescues and foster dogs — so I’m very comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I also helped raise and train puppies, giving me experience with younger dogs and basic training reinforcement. I’ve also helped care for senior dogs, including my own dog who lived to 17, so I understand the extra patience, attentiveness, and gentle care older pets may need. In addition to caring for my own pets, I’ve house sat and pet sat for families and friends for years, caring for both dogs and cats. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, or simply keeping pets company while their owners are away, I always make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I treat every animal like they’re my own. I’m a recent college graduate and have a very flexible schedule this summer, so I’m available for pet sitting, drop-in visits, walks, and overnight care throughout the week. I currently work at a Pilates studio on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, but outside of those hours I’m available and able to give pets plenty of attention, care, and companionship. I always try to keep pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routines and giving them lots of attention, patience, and care. In a client’s home, I make sure pets are fed on schedule, get plenty of exercise and playtime, and feel safe while their owners are away. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual personality and needs, whether that means high energy walks, extra cuddles, or a calmer environment for senior pets. I also make sure homes are kept clean, secure, and respected at all times. My goal is to make both pets and owners feel completely comfortable and confident while in my care.

Forest Hills dog parents share their Rover experiences
Julianna was amazing with my English bulldog, Sabel! She communicated clearly throughout the entire walk, kept me updated, and made me feel totally at ease. Bulldogs can be a bit particular, and she handled Sabel with patience and care. I could tell Sabel was comfortable and happy, which means everything to me. I’d absolutely recommend Julianna to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and trustworthy dog walker. I’ll definitely be booking with her again.
Alexa was very kind and compassionate, and she knew how to communicate with my dog on his level, which was super important for me when picking a dog walker. My dog is very picky with who he trusts, but he gravitated towards Alexa because she made him feel comfortable. Alexa is also very easy to work with, and she was always quick to reply. If you want a reliable dog walker with a big heart for animals, Alexa is the way to go!
Woof! Hi, it’s me, Lucy. I am using my hooman’s phonr (don’t ask how) because I simply must leave a review for my Rover sitter, Jenna. First of all, when my hooman left, I thought “oh no…”. But the Jenna walked in, smelled like treats, sunshine, and someone who definitely knows how to scratch behind my ears properly. Jenna walked me and even threw the ball for me at the park! I even got a belly rub when we got back. Now that is service! Can’t wait for Jenna to walk me again! A++++
We have loved working with Jordan! She really goes the extra mile when taking care of my pup. He is typically timid with new walkers but she knows exactly how to make him comfortable. They even play a hide and seek game with treats that he loves! It really puts my mind at ease while working knowing that she’s going to be caring for him. Also wonderful communicating when she will be getting there and all details of the visit.
