“Megan is extremely responsive, kind, and responsible. I will absolutely be asking for her services again in the future! I highly recommend her. My pup loved her walks! Thank you, Megan!”
“Thanks for the awesome service and care to my two big dogs throughout 3 days that I was away. First time leaving my dogs at home verses boarding, and thanks to your communication and commitment it was perfect!”
“Kiley did a fantastic job with both of our dogs, even on her first visit. She arrived on time and quickly bonded with them. They had a long, enjoyable walk and returned home happy and well-exercised. When they encountered a neighbor's dog, Kiley wisely picked up our little one to prevent any potential issues. We highly recommend her!”
About: Growing up in wild and wonderful West Virginia, I worked on a family farm and took care of friend’s and family’s pets. So it was natural that I developed an affection for animals. I fell in love with my own dog, a Labrador Retriever, at 16 and named him Bucks! I’ve taken care of many different types of animals besides cats and dogs, such as Guinea pigs, chickens, iguanas, sugar gliders and more! In recent years, I was employed in a dog boarding and training facility called ‘The Happy Retriever.’ Then I was able to gain more pet care experience working for another pet sitting business named ‘Heart and Paws Pet Sitting.’ I am presently a proud member of Pet Sitters International, thru which I have completed Pet First Aid & CPR training and have ongoing education in pet care! Sunday - Saturday I’m a proud business owner and a full time pet sitter! I love all the furry friends I get to make in all sizes and continue my pet behavior and wellness education so I can provide the best care possible! I keep my visits with your pets as close to their usual routine as possible and I treat them as you would! Sometimes a different route for a walk is a good thing and builds confidence in your pet! It all depends on your pet’s needs and everyone’s comfort! I would like to see your pet be healthy and self confident! I have pet sitting insurance as well! Scheduling meet and greets before any services is the best way we can go over the routine and build trust with you and your pet!
“Talia has been great with my dog and you can tell she is a animal lover. Very responsive and responsible. Shadow has a lot of energy and Talia handles with with great care. Like he’s her own. 10 out of 10 recommend.”
About: I am 19 years old and I have an 11 year old Aussie who is just the best. I would love to expand my love for dogs to any other pups who need it! I currently work part time so this is perfect for me to pick up walks whenever I am off work! Though my availability will change weekly because my work schedule is never the same. I have an electric fence for my dog but she still goes on walks occasionally to get her out of the yard. A fenced in yard would be ideal for me to work with because it’s secure.
About: Hi! My name is Annie and I have experience with about every pet you can name. I am 24 years old and live at home with my parents, brother and 4 cats. We have had dogs, cats, chickens, hamsters and even a lizard. I am known as the cat whisperer and all pets always love me because I approach animals with a calm and nurturing tone. I am currently in grad school and have a lot of availability during the summer. I am looking for occasional or long term opportunities, so feel free to reach out! I have lots of pets at home right now so I spend a lot of time playing and taking care of them. I would love to expand my pet family. I would be able to feed, clean up after and play as much as needed for any pets. I am used to full care of my cats and dogs.
“Cassandra is a wonderful person and so happy we found her! We have an 18yo dog who’s essentially deaf and blind and last minute Cassandra agreed to help us, not once but twice. She took exceptional care of him and was a pleasure working with.”
“Jennifer was great! Sent tons of photos and even left us flowers! She took our 5 months old puppy out and then spent some time with him in our home before leaving. Max was a very happy boy when we came home from work!”
About: Having grown up with over 15 different breeds of animals, pet care is truly second nature to me. This background has given me a deep understanding of animal behaviors, needs, and personalities. From energetic pups to more reserved or independent pets, I’m able to connect with each animal and adapt to what makes them feel comfortable and secure. Animals have been an integral part of my life, and my care approach reflects a lifelong passion and respect for them. With me, your pet receives the kind of attentive, personalized care only a true animal lover can provide! Working remotely gives me the flexibility to provide dedicated, consistent care for your pet throughout the day. I’m able to check in frequently, give them attention when they need it, and keep their routines as close to normal as possible. Whether it’s scheduled feedings, playtime, or just being there for companionship, my work setup allows me to be fully present for your pet’s needs and maintain a calm, reliable environment for them. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their usual environment and routines to reduce stress. I take great care to follow your instructions closely, ensuring your pet feels secure, happy, and comfortable in familiar surroundings. Whether in my home or yours, I approach pet care with dedication, responsibility, and the commitment to making each pet feel safe and loved.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid! I have always loved dogs and their sweet, and playful personalities. I would love to take your dog on a walk, and be their friend! I am pretty free throughout the week, I love staying active, and going on walks outside. My schedule this summer is super flexible to take your dog on a walk! I live right next to a dog park, and walking trails! I am happy to drive to any dog park or walking trail as well!
About: I have been caring for dogs since I was 15, when I became responsible for my first dog. At 20, I started offering dog boarding in my home in Brazil, hosting over 10 dogs with love and dedication. Currently, I live in the United States in a small apartment with my husband, where pets are not allowed. For this reason, I provide pet care exclusively at the client’s home. I discovered Rover as a way to reconnect with the joy of being around dogs and cats, whether for a weekend or an entire month. This experience has been amazing! My husband and I care for the pets together, ensuring they receive twice the love, attention, and playtime. I work flexible hours so I definitely can stay long hours in home and provide a lot of attention for dogs and cats. I love walk and play before I need to leave them alone for a few hours. I do not host at home. We follow all the rules of the clients' homes and the animals' routines. We try our best to exercise the dogs by walking or spending time in the yard.
“Keri was great with our two dogs. She was very responsive and followed all my instructions. The dogs loved her. She sent me live updates and photos which were great! I’ll definitely use her again in the future.”
About: I have had dogs my whole life! I have had numerous jobs caring for and staying in homes to care for pets while families are away. I am currently available for quick visits or even longer stays! My schedule is very flexible at the moment, so I am happy to be of help where/when needed! I have two English Cream Golden Retrievers at home on an electric fence. Happy to discuss your home requirements when it comes to your pup!
“Leah is wonderful she is prompt always there!! She takes great care in walking Jax who is a senior dog!! Sends me updates and pictures every time she walks him!! He loves her! I would highly recommend her!!”

Corrine has exceeded our expectations. She's a great person who genuinely loves dogs. Corrine has been taking our dog Daisy for walks for the last four weeks. It hasn't been easy as Daisy is a high energy pup and was recovering from surgery. Daisy needed to be kept from jumping/ running. Corrine was very patient and was able to give Daisy what she needed while spending extra time with her after her walks. Daisy immediately bonded with her. Corrine, thank you so much for all you've done. I'm so grateful for you.
