“We love Erica! Zola is nervous around strangers and Erica put her at ease so quickly at her meet and greet! Now Zola is excited to get her walk and play time. Thanks so much Erica!”

“So grateful to have Autumn coming everyday to walk the dogs and feed them. She is punctual, provides a great report and takes pix every time. She has also been so helpful and added services we needed added on last notice. We feel very comfortable and the dogs love her!”

About: As a pet parent myself, I know how stressful it is to find someone you can trust to care for your babies. I promise to care for yours exactly the way I’d hope someone would care for mine. I love every animal I meet, as you can probably tell from my photos! I’ve been the proud parent (and pet sitter) of many animals over the years. Dogs (from 4 lbs to 100 lbs), cats (including two rescues with FeLV and “unknown health issues”), birds, bunnies, guinea pigs, hamsters, and more. I’ve volunteered at multiple rescues and have been watching people’s pets for many years (just recently started with Rover). I am extremely reliable and insured beyond what Rover offers—for extra peace of mind. Your pet’s happiness and well-being is my priority and I can’t wait to meet them! I’m a freelance writer and currently have extra time on my hands. To me, there is nothing better than spending my days with animals. That’s why I have two of my own, I spend my free time with animals as much as possible (visiting/volunteering at different rescues, feeding birds at Kensington, etc.) and now hopefully spending some time with yours! I will care for your pets in exactly the way that you—and your pet—want me to. From walks, to couch cuddles, to playing fetch in your backyard, and more. I will respect your pet/s and your home and will follow any instructions to a T. I have experience with many breeds of dogs and even special-needs pets. I love them all, and I will treat them exactly the way I treat my own pets! I’ll send you pics of our time together, and I can even water a plant or two while you’re gone. Just let me know. :)
“Our family really needed Avore’s help with our Ladador mix, rescue puppy, Ryder. He’s naturally a bundle of energy and joy and just wants to PLAY, all day, with anyone - and any THING. We live on a busy street and the thought of him being terribly hurt in his innocence to RUN! After ONE WALK, our family could quickly see the improvement! Ryder has been a different (HAPPIER, CALMER, well-behaved) pet since working with Avore. Avore continues to be patient, professional, attentive, and caring for our baby, Ryder! I’m a veteran and educator who’s very detail oriented. I notice that Ryder is so happy to hear Avore’s voice - he’s excited to behave, so he’ll get his walk and when he gets back (not a moment too‘early,’ Avore uses the FULL TIME of what our family’s PAID for) I can tell Ryder’s been worked out - even during these cold months! When she picks him up, it’s “down to the business at hand,” with an openness and enthusiasm that makes hiring her a HUGE WIN for us - AND Ryder. He’s been a much happier fur lovey. Finding Avore is one of the things our family have agreed is just “a must” for us to continue to have Ryder as a healthy member of our family. All I want to say is, THANK YOU, Avore! Your expertise is valued and clearly evident - well worth the search! 🌻”

“Rebecca was quick in her responses, great with our dog, and willing to do the extra for us on Christmas Day! Sincerely appreciate her work for our dog and family!!”

“Torie has been a great addition and support for our animal family. We have a fearful dog that takes time to build a relationship with. She has been patient, kind, compassionate, and well informed on how to interact with our dog, and our cats too.”
“Nelly was great! Took good care of my 50lb dog on a few walks, and flexibly added another day after my trip was extended. Communication was friendly and concise. Strongly recommend.”

“Mackenzie is so good with our elderly dog. She patiently walks him at his pace and let him sniff all his favorite spots. We are very happy to have found a compassionate caring person to care for our dog when we can’t be there. We have also had an excellent experience with her watching him for a week at our home and are repeat customers.”

“Adam has been walking Bodhi for a while now and the proof of his great work shows up every scheduled day when Bodhi goes to the window to look for Adam just before it’s time for his walk. He just knows his friend Adam is coming to see him! 😂 Adam does a great job, he truly connects with our pup and he’s very easy to work with when we have schedule changes. 5⭐️ for sure!”

“Leah was great. Excellent communication and she took great care of my old dog on his walks. I appreciate that she was flexible with schedule changes. I would use her again for dog walks!”

About: I've been watching animals for about 15 years now on and off. I'm a huge animal lover, and grew up with cats and dogs. Now I have two fur babies of my own! I’m comfortable bathing, feeding, walking, administering medication, and of course playing and providing all the pets! I promise to always treat your fur babies as if they're my own! I'm responsible, communicative, caring, and extremely attentive. I would love the opportunity to help you with your fur baby, and hope to get the chance! Currently I am in between jobs so I am available mornings, daytime, and evenings during the week. I’m also available during the weekends to assist with your fur babies! I am extremely respectful of other’s homes and spaces. This is also your pets home so I would never want them to feel as if their safety and security is compromised. Directions will be followed 100%. I will communicate clearly and provide any and all updates you ask for.
“Thank you for your help this week! Buster and Bette were in good hands and had lots of fun on their walks all week. Mikayla was energized and friendly and so easy to work with, I really appreciated it and the pups loved it.”


“Lauren is a caring and conscientious caregiver. She loves dogs and takes great care to make sure that she has your dog’s best care in mind. Our dog loves to be walked by Lauren.”

About: I own 4 dogs and cats. I bred and trained my personal medical service dog (who goes everywhere with me) and do small time animal rescue. As much as I love my job, there are sometimes dogs we can't accept for various reasons and it's those dogs whom I enjoy caring for the most! From diabetics, semi paralyzed, nerve damage or simply just don't like other dogs, I am very flexible and accommodating for any need you or your pet may have. Don't hesitate to reach out!! Between myself, my husband, and our 2 teenage boys, we can cover just about any need you have and work together as a team to accomplish exceptional service! I work from home giving me the flexibility to be able to do frequent drop in visits and dog walks. Plus, it gives me a great reason to get out of the house! I always treat all animals as I treat my own. With utmost love and patience and kindness. And I know how to adapt my actions from animal to animal to meet their needs
“Max was great with my German Shepherd, Breezy. My boy can be alot lol, and many people can't handle larger energetic breeds, but Max won him over and seemed to walk him with ease. Breezy was returned happy and tired, which was my goal while I was working. Communication with Max was positive and clear from the start. I recommend!”

“Janae is very trustworthy, responsible, and adored by my dogs. My 10 year old blind black Lab enjoys her walks and company and my 8 year old Lab/ Greyhound loves her play time. I recommend Janae.”
