“My old pup can be anxious and ramped up with care givers so I am delighted that he was calm with Tyler. I will definitely have Tyler take care of my fur babe again knowing I can depend on him and will not be stressed while on vacation.”

“Brian did a great job checking in on Mochi when I had to work all day. He took him for a walk and made sure he went potty. Gave Mochi lots of treats and attention! Thanks again ?”

About: I grew up with multiple pets my whole life, with most being medium to large dogs of various breeds. I have 15 solid years of experience with dogs, some cats, and other animals. I am an animal lover at heart, and I am looking for work to give back and care for animals in the community! I am currently in a transition between jobs and am aiming to work remote in the future. I can fit care into a flexible schedule. I aim to communicate effectively with each client before going forward with a service to best meet their needs and the needs of their pet!
About: Hi! I am a 25 year old young professional. I grew up taking care of animals on my families farm. I am looking to get back into being able to care for animals and would love to meet your baby. I currently work full time but i have a flexible schedule and can work from home. i am currently available 4 days a week for walking and drop-ins. i can also be a pet sitter for your babies but since i am currently living in an apartment i prefer if its at your home as mine is small. I care for pets by providing a nice clean environment, taking them out to go to the bathroom one and hour, and going on plenty of long walks. I also own 4 cats who are all happy and healthy and deal with different feeding needs for each of them. with my extensive experience with dogs and cats and with caring for animals on my family farm i am very experienced and love animals of all kinds.
“Ricardo is amazing! First time using Rover and I absolutely picked the right person. He scheduled a meet-and-greet to introduce himself and get to know my dog. They were completely at ease with each other. Ricardo’s a proactive communicator, provided regular updates, and was always friendly and punctual. I highly recommend.”

“Kevin walks our dog a three times a week. Clyde can be a challenging dog to walk (bulldog!). Kevin stays patient with him and sends positive reports & pics each time he’s with him. Kevin is great to work with! We feel lucky to have met him!”

“First time Rover users, so we did a walk with Lillie to get Odin acclimated before house sitting for a week next week. Lillie handled Odin’s confusion very well and took him around the subdivision and took notes for the upcoming stay.”

About: I am a teacher on summer break! I grew up surrounded by animals and am now a proud cat mom. I have wanted to be a vet for years since I was a kid, and my love for animals has grown since then. Even though my career path has changed to education, I have always gravitated to a job that brings me joy from people or animals. I have three family dogs and have helped my family train 2 puppies throughout high school. I also have grown up around cats and have one myself. I have experience carrying for dogs, walking, and raising them from my own home related experience with my own dogs. I love dogs and love hanging out with them indoors and outdoors. The same is true for cats! I have cat-sit many times in the past and grew up taking care of felines as well. I am very organized and reliable as a person and will 100% commit to a job. I currently teach but am flexible! I will be available on weekends and afternoons when the school year begins. I will have a very ppen schedule come summer break. My cat is very happy in her home. I try to give her the best food for her nutrition, a clean space, and plenty of things to engage with. She loves to play with her little mice and in her tunnel. I also often leave the blinds open so she can watch for birds or sunbathe. When she got sick, i ensured that she got the very best care and got her medicine on the exact timeline that was needed. I tracked her water and food intake as well as tracked her bowel movements.

“Michael N. is a SUPER STAR and I can't imagine giving over the care of my Paco to anyone but Michael. I feel 100% comfortable leaving my pet with Michael because I know he will love and care for him just the same as I would and having that peace of mind is worth everything to me. I find Michael to be a genuinely kind and caring person and Paco loves him to bits so that's good enough for me. I HIGHLY recommend Michael and so does my Paco! He is simply the best!”

“Emma went above and beyond when walking our puppy! You can tell she truly cares for your fur-child and does a wonderful job. She communicates well and even took the time to come meet him before his walk! Will definitely rebook and know that our Taco will love to see her again :)”

About: Grew up with Saints Bernards & others, love my folks' new Havanese. Known as "the-dog-whisperer" at church. Worked a few years in a kennel. Must love dogs. Been a painter (every kind) 25 years. Band director for five. I see my folks' Havanese 2-3 times a week. Done dog-sitting, worked in a kennel. I love dogs. I'm honest -- I don't actually have a pet-friendly home. I would take them out or to my folks' who have a beautiful, large yard. I walk a lot -- I go by Cherry Park approximately three times every day. I'd love to have a canine companion when I do. I think I have dealt well with dogs that have had health emergencies -- one Retriever had a major brain hemorrhage, brought him to the ER immediately, & he lived another year. I have researched & prepared for everything I could find-- first aid, CPR, what to do with a difficult dog, what to do when an unleashed dog approaches, how to administer oral & injection medication, dog-walking, dog-bathing, clothes-washing, spare leash, treats, towel, poo bags... I think & look ahead, & prepare for everything. I love dogs.
About: I’ve been a dog owner and surrounded by dogs all my life! I love animals and spending time outside, so pet sitting has always been something I’ve loved doing! I do overnight stays as well as day-to-day visits! I hope to sit for your pet soon! I currently am working part-time, and have lots of open availability to watch your animals! I’m a student at GRCC, however I only have 3 classes in person a week, and they’re short in the morning. I’m very flexible and will be able to give your pets all the attention they need! I follow the rules and requirements for a sitter that the home/pet owners enforce! I love and play with any and all dogs, and will keep the home as I found it (or better)!

“Katie is amazing! We are new to GR and were nervous about finding someone to walk our dog. Katie was incredible! She was 100% on time, she listened to what our dog needed (wanted to turn around early on their walk) and then spent the remainder of their time hanging out! I could not be more thankful to have someone like Katie!”

“Rachael is very reliable, she’s always on time and spends more time with my dog than she has to which shows that she really cares and wants to make sure my dog is well taken care of while I’m at work.”

About: I seem to be a magnet for anxious dogs and cats! Both my senior cat and adolescent dog have behavioral issues/anxiety, and while it has its challenges, I find bonding with these guys can be the most rewarding experience. Between slow, gentle movements, not rushing a bond, and having lots of treats on hand, I've learned that "difficult" personalities don't always have to be so hard. I work 8-5 on weekdays, with Mondays and Fridays being working-from-home days. I can easily incorporate lunch-time and evening visits into my schedule during the week with open availability on weekends. After adopting an anxious/reactive dog, my partner and I have invested countless hours into a training program that works for us. Through this experience, I've learned the power of positive reinforcement, consent for touch, and patience even when it's the most difficult to find it. I'm a huge believer in redirecting unwanted behavior rather than punishment of any kind. Love and respect is the driving force behind all of my interactions with animals!
Fulton Heights dog parents share their Rover experiences
Kasidee is fantastic! My dogs can be shy when walking with someone new but they warmed to her right away. She has a clear passion for animals and treating them with love and kindness. The photos and post walk updates were always great and adorable. Highly recommended!

Sydney has been absolutely wonderful with my dog! She’s always on time, incredibly friendly, and clearly loves spending time with him. I really appreciate the care and attention she gives—she doesn’t just rush through the walks but truly engages with my dog. One day when it was raining and he didn’t want to go outside, Sydney stayed and played with him indoors instead, which meant a lot. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker.

Marina does a great job communicating with us on how things are going or went with our dog. We have had her walk our puppy several times - she’s always on time, stayed the whole time and played with him when he didn’t want to walk. Really appreciate her pictures as well!

Kinsey took great care of my puppy. She communicated well and provided high quality photos. She was on time and walked my puppy for the full amount. She took a few moments to greet my puppy to make sure he was comfortable with her before walking. Thank you Kinsey!
Amazing!!! He genuinely cared about my dog’s well being & sent pics with constant communication. I had Binx stay at Whiskers resort & hired Joshua for daily walks which helped him tremendously, even whiskers said it helped my high energy, nervous boy. Thanx again for taking Binx to a beautiful park & not just a sidewalk AND for picking up that xtra day
