“Not to be dramatic, but Christa went above and beyond. My puppy is a love but can be leash reactive and so I worry about leaving him with someone who may not understand the importance of being attentive and proactive. Christa made time on short notice to meet us, do a walk through of our neighborhood and home, hear our concerns and expectations, and was ready with questions and experience to share in return. Communicating and working with Christa was a relief and we look forward to continuing to do so. 10/10 recommend!”
“Maryann, watched our small dog Milo. She took good care of him and even walked him. Milo can be difficult at times and we told her this and she still agreed to watch him. I would recommend her to watch your dogs.”
“Katie walked our two dogs three times a day for a week and was fantastic. She was always on time and sent photo updates. We would love to have Katie walk our dogs again - would absolutely recommend her!”
“I cannot stress enough how above and beyond Kaitlyn goes! Unfortunately she was only able to walk my Zeus for one day before we found out he had a brain tumor. Without knowing this, Kaitlyn arrived early for his walk, spent extra time with him after his walk, and was incredibly communicative. She even interacted with my neighbors who love Zeus and updated me when he got a treat from them. I’m so happy she gave him such a great day before all of this happened. It’s obvious she’s dedicated and truly cares for the animals she sits for!”
“Sam has been great with Winston! He loves getting a visit from Sam and Sam had asked all the right questions in order to best take care of Winston and his needs!”
“Rebecca was kind & communicative! She made sure she knew where everything was ahead of time and took our pup for a great walk and sent lots of updates and pictures. Would happily book her again.”
About: I’ve taken care of many different kinds of pets throughout the years, dogs, cats, cows, horses, birds, you name it! I know my way around animals and how to make them comfortable around a new person. I work part time on the weekends, and am looking for this to be a Monday-Friday schedule, I’m available all mornings, and am lenient with nights just give me a heads up and I’ll plan around it. I’ll stick with your pet if need be, I’m more than willing to fill the place of companionship while the owner is away. I can be active and keep your pet out of the house or am fine with keeping them grounded in your home.
About: I’ve lived with dogs and cats my entire life. I am a university student and can’t be with my own all the time but I would love to help you out! I have a border collie and maincoone. Very accustomed I am a university student but have most weekends and mornings free as well as nights except 2 times a week after 6:30. I have transportation as well so easy for me to get around. I have my own car, licensed with a clean record and have a seatbelt harness for the car. I have house sat before many times and am very accustomed.
About: Growing up surrounded by a variety of animals, including cats, dogs, and chickens, I've gained hands-on experience in pet care from an early age. Whether it's the playful energy of dogs, the independent nature of cats, or the unique needs of chickens, I've learned how to provide attentive and compassionate care for each. With years of experience, I understand the importance of routine, comfort, and safety in keeping pets happy and healthy. Your pet will be in knowledgeable and caring hands with me. I am currently going to school and have a flexible schedule. I am available Mondays 6am-10pm, Tuesday 6am-10pm, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday 6am to over night. I am willing to stay at clients home to care for pets along with staying over night. During my availability I can let pets outside/hang out with them inside at any time, give needed medication, walk, and play.
About: Hi! Thanks for stopping by. My name is Jess and I am an experienced dog and cat sitter! I have 2 cats and 1 dog of my own, and grew up with animals. I am attentive and caring, love to go on walks and play with your pet! Currently I have open availability for walks and drop ins. I am not taking any clients for boarding at this time sorry for any inconvenience! When doing drop ins amd/or walks I will go above and beyond to meet your pet's needs plus give all the cuddles and affection they deserve.
About: I am an energetic and active individual who is always excited to take a furry friend on a walk; I am compassionate and patient with pets that need special accommodations and/or care; and I care deeply about making sure every animal receives the love and attention it deserves :) I am a graduate student currently on my summer break, so I will have no issue fitting hang-outs with cute furballs into my schedule! I'm happy to come by multiple times in a day, or stay at the house all day with animals requiring more attention. I can check in on pets any day of the week, and pretty much any time of the day. I always make sure to read instructions three times through, and I'm not afraid to ask owners clarifying questions, especially if an animal requires a specialized type of care I haven't administered before. I can play with energetic animals, and I'm also happy to just do my own thing in the space while keeping an eye on pets that maybe need a supervisor present but don't need/want constant interaction.
“Bri was super professional and thoughtful during our meet and greet, and Matcha warmed up to her immediately. She has provided us with many much appreciated walks for Matcha while we are at work for the day, and I know Matcha has a ton of fun with her! Bri is very communicative and makes us feel comfortable and confident that our pup is being cared for. Thank you, Bri!”

Elijah has a natural connection with dogs of all breeds and temperaments. Whether it’s a high-energy puppy who needs structured walks or a senior dog who simply enjoys gentle companionship, Elijah always tailors their approach to each dog’s unique needs.

From keeping feeding schedules and administering medications to making sure every walk is safe and engaging, Elijah goes above and beyond to provide the highest standard of care.

You can rest easy knowing your dog will be in kind, capable, and loving hands.”

Fox Point dog parents share their Rover experiences
Maryann is an absolute gift of a person! She is undeniably one of the most professional and knowledgeable care providers on Rover. Maryann has been helping me walk my two dogs as I recover from a foot injury. She is very thorough and clearly takes her work seriously. I trust my two fur babies with her unequivocally and that is not something I say lightly. Maryann has a wealth of knowledge on dog breeds, behavioral training, and dog health. She has kept in contact--sharing important updates--even on days we don't have a walk scheduled. I couldn't recommend Maryann more! 10/10
What a wonderful experience. I booked a 30 minute walk for my parents puppies because my older mom just needed a minute to herself. She recently got Pebbles (Aug 21) and she’s working through the motions of getting acclimated. Nicole was so quick to accommodate the request and was very flexible about the process. My mom enjoyed their interaction and really felt safe sending the dogs with her. 10/10 recommend. Fantastic experience.
I would highly recommend hiring Crystal for your needs. She was promp and very communicative throughout the whole process. I was very hesitant at first being my first time using this service but doing a meet before hand really set my mind at ease. Not to mention my dog loved her. She kept me up to date on the walks and took some great photos. And she made sure my dogs food and water was taken care of before leaving as well.
We had such a great experience with Kimberly while we were away on vacation for four days this week. She took amazing care of our 10-month-old puppy, and we couldn’t be happier with the attention and love she gave her! Kimberly was punctual, dependable, and super communicative throughout. We really appreciated the updates and adorable photos after each walk—it gave us total peace of mind knowing our pup was in such great hands. She clearly has a natural way with dogs, and our puppy warmed up to her right away. Coming home to a happy, well-exercised pup made all the difference. We highly recommend Kimberly to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog walker. We’ll definitely be booking her again! Thank you! The Rebello's
We couldn't be more grateful to have had Gilbert as our dog walker while we were on vacation. From the very beginning, was professional, trustworthy, and—most importantly—absolutely wonderful with our dog. Gilbert took the time to understand our dog's routine, quirks, and preferences, and it showed in how happy and relaxed our pup was when we got home. He kept us updated with photos and little notes after each visit, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. It’s clear that Gilbert genuinely cares about the pets he works with—he treated our dog like his own. If you're looking for someone dependable, kind, and truly great with animals, we wholeheartedly recommend Gilbert. We’ll definitely be booking him again! Thank you so much, The Rebello's
From the very first meeting, I knew my dog was in good hands. Sylvia showed up prepared, asked thoughtful questions, and even took notes to make sure she understood my dog’s routine and quirks. That level of care really stood out to me. Since then, she’s been amazing—reliable, kind, and clearly someone who loves what she does. My dog absolutely adores her and gets so excited when Sylvia comes by. I feel really lucky to have found her. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a dog walker who truly goes above and beyond!
I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for my two pups! Annie was incredibly reliable, communicative, and clearly adored my dogs. She followed all instructions perfectly and even sent updates that gave me peace of mind while I was away. I came home to two happy, well-cared-for pups. Highly recommend!
