About: I am a retired law enforcement officer who also was a dog therapy team with my late Yorkie, Cody. Currently have a Boston Terrier (Kona), 10 aquariums with all types of fish, shrimp, frogs and an axolotl in my home, along with two young boys. By focusing on a select client base, I ensure every pet—and their people—receive the highest level of attention, reliability, and love. I keep my client list very small and selective as it is built on trust and reliability. I am willing to work with your schedule as needed. I am open to whatever is best for your dog, along with what you feel comfortable with. Whether it be playing in the backyard, basement, etc or just going for a walk. As a law enforcement officer for 25 years, you can expect reliability, trust and confidence in my services.
About: My first job was as a dog walker when I was 12! I have grown up with cats and dogs - caring for them from puppies/kittens through to their golden years. I have also dog/house sat for a large rescue + their several senior cats! My goal is to get to know each pet I interact with so that me and your pet can enjoy our time together. Furry friends are family and I treat them as such. I have also volunteered at 2 different rescues over the past several years helping care for cats as well as walk and play with dogs of all ages. I am currently finishing my last year of medical school so my schedule is not completely free. However, I do typically have evenings, weekends, and a random day off during the week! I get my current schedule 1 month at a time and am happy to accommodate outside my scheduled hospital shifts. I am very respectful of others rules for their home and their pets. I am a tidy person who hates messes in my own home so wouldn't leave them in anyone else's.
“Diane walked our 10 year old Husky for the first time today. He’s 80lbs of fluff and we knew he was well taken care of when we came home to his happy calm state. Seeing the photos made us feel comfortable that he was in the best of hands. We look forward to having Diane walk Bruno once again.”

I have over a year of experience in taking care of cats and over six years of experience in taking care of dogs. The longest time I took care of a cat was for two months.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Franklin Square
Vee and Steven have done drop-ins for our rescue Frenchie, Tank, since we both went back to work, and we don't know what we'd do without them. Tank came from a puppy mill with medical needs and separation anxiety, so we were nervous about leaving him. They've been incredible with him. Every visit comes with detailed notes and photos, so we always know how he's doing. They spotted a sore on his paw before we did and flagged it right away. They towel him off and clean his paws without being asked, and they're endlessly patient on rainy days, which he hates. They've also given us genuinely helpful suggestions as we've worked out his setup. You can tell they really care about him. Highly recommend.
I've been fortunate enough to have Jonathan drop-in on my 2 young Boston Terriers while I'm at work. I first met him in advance so he could meet my dogs and I. We met in person so that he could meet my dogs and of provide any instructions and he was very professional. From that point forward, he's communicated very well and I know my 2 dogs have been in great hands with him. It's very clear he loves animals and I'm happy he spends time with my 2 girls when I have to go on-site to work. I highly recommend Jonathan to other pet parents.
Elizabeth has done a number of drop-in visits for my 2 dogs and she does a great job in checking in on them, giving them some play time and of course assuring they are getting some time to be outside. She communicates very well and from the pictures I know my dogs are having a lot of fun during the pop-in visits. I highly recommend her for taking care of your pets!
Samantha and Jerry were so amazing with my diabetic, blind dog that needs insulin 2 times a day, hoping She would adjust and that she did , with them. Samantha and Jerry was so kind and gentle and she adjusted so quickly to them.. I got the most amazing pictures everyday from Jerry and daily updates. I came home to a very happy and healthy little girl. So happy I found them, will definitely feel comfortable everytime we need to go anywhere and they carefor my dog.. 10 out of 10.
Nicole was an absolute angel with Lale during a very stressful time for me. From day one, I could see how kind, caring, and genuinely loving she is with animals. Honestly, the best review comes from Lale herself — she would practically hop with excitement whenever she saw Nicole! Watching her little tail wag and seeing how happy she was made my heart so happy. Lale felt completely safe, loved, and spoiled in the best possible way. Knowing Nicole was with her gave me such comfort and peace of mind. She cared for Lale with so much affection and attention, as if she were her own. I’m beyond grateful for everything Nicole did for my sweet girl. Anyone would be lucky to have Nicole care for their pet — and their pet will probably fall in love with her just as much as Lale did! ❣️🐾💕
Esperanza was great to work with! I asked her if I can pay her to comd the night before the booking on extremely short notice to meet myself and my bernedoodle, and she was able to do so which was fantastic. She did two drop in visits during the day while I was away and did a wonderful job and followed all the instructions I gave her.
