I was incredibly lucky to find Madison to help walk my dog while I recovered from surgery. I could not have asked for a more caring, dependable dog walker. Madison showed up every day for two months, on time, happy and ready to go. My dog Olive absolutely adores her. I do not know what I would have done without her. Highly, highly recommend her services.

Valeria was amazing! This was my first time using Rover services, so I was extremely nervous about trusting someone to care for my pup the way I do. Valeria, my dog, and I had a meet and greet to discuss instructions and get acclimated. She was prompt with every walk, followed my instructions, and was extremely kind. Valeria sent many pictures of my dog, who looked like she was having a blast on her walks. I will definitely be rebooking soon!

About: I have years of experience caring for both dogs and cats, and I genuinely enjoy the everyday rhythms of pet care—feeding, walks, playtime, litter care, and quiet companionship. I’m attentive, patient, and respectful of each pet’s unique personality, boundaries, and routines. I understand that pets can have very different needs—some are energetic and social, others are shy, sensitive, or independent. I’m calm, observant, and gentle in my approach, and I prioritize making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their people are away. I offer pet care during the times I’m not with my son, which means when I’m booked, your pet has my full attention. I plan my availability carefully and only accept visits I know I can show up for consistently and on time. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’m attentive, detail-oriented, and mindful of each pet’s environment, routines, and signals. I take care to follow instructions closely, keep doors and gates secure, and maintain a calm, respectful presence in your home. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. I treat every home with respect, communicate clearly, and approach each visit with patience and care so your pet feels safe and at ease.

About: I have genuine love and passion for pets. I’m very responsible, and will ensure all pets will be fed groomed exercised & more! Safety/patience awareness. I set myself apart from other dog sitters through my personalized approach, tailored care plans, attention to specific pet needs, and a genuine passion for creating a loving and playful environment for the dogs in my care. I currently work for myself. I do not have a set schedule at the time so I am an open book. I update my calendar every week and I am negotiable with my prices, so don't think twice about asking about the price. I am really helpful and I know hard times come. Me and greet pet parents, respect their home, I will send daily updates, security, scheduled visits, professionalism, cleaning, any open communication with the pets caregiver

About: I’ve been a pet parent for 9 years, I make sure they get food, love, cute outfits, and exercise. I have experience with dogs with anxiety since one of my little ones suffer from it. I’m available for boarding all day and night Thursday and Friday, and only during the day Saturday no nights. I also don’t mind pick ups since I like to drive. I have a large backyard no fence and I monitor all play time. Dogs must come inside after play time I also do regular leash walking, I have 2 fur babies that get along with other animals each under 10lbs. All pets must go in there crates for bed time. Feeding is based on your preferred times. I have one picky eater and one that eats everything, so let me know what your fur baby likes.

About: Proud owner of Kam’s Happy Tails. Check out my website (trying to move off of rover 😊) Grew up with animals all my life. Worked with horses for 6 years before i became a manager at a horse farm. Recently i work for a doggy playdate company which has given me a lot of experience in dog care ranging from puppy-senior pups. Trust your loved ones will be safe with me! I am currently using rover full-time! I am available Sunday-Saturday anytime after 8 am. I have reliable transportation and am always on time, if not a couple minutes early. I prefer to meet your family before my stay to allow your pet to meet me (and vice versa) and to discuss house rules and expectations. I like to keep with the family’s normal routine to ensure no unnecessary anxiety fall on your pets. I will always ask for the contact information of your usual vet and the emergency vet you like to use, as well as an emergency contact if i cannot get ahold of you.

Maria was great she communicated and sent pictures that helped a lot since this was my first time using this type of service for these babies. I used one years ago but had a different dog and didn’t know how my sweet babies would respond but they did great. I just always worry if the new person will be patient with my babies and she definitely was so that helped.

About: Hi, I have a lot of experience taking care of pets. I have a family dog in Minnesota that I’ve cared for since he was a puppy. I trained him to signal when he needs to go outside by sitting near the door and have walked him year-round, even through cold Minnesota winters. So if it’s chilly here in the South, I’m still happy to take your dog for a walk! I also have my own cat, Kakashi (KK for short), who I’ve cared for for over a year. Between raising my dog and caring for my cat, I’ve gained years of experience with both dogs and cats. I’ll treat your pets with the same care and attention I give my own! I work full-time Monday through Friday (8 a.m.–5 p.m.), so I’m mainly available in the evenings after 5 and on the weekends (Saturdays after 11 A.M and Sunday after 12 P.M) I live in a gated, pet-friendly apartment community. My apartment is very open and spacious, giving pets plenty of room to play and relax. The neighborhood has safe sidewalks and walking paths—perfect for daily walks. If I’m caring for a cat, I can easily separate them from my own cat, Kakashi (KK), and slowly help them warm up to each other if needed. It’s a calm, clean, and comfortable space where your pet will feel at home.

About: I have a dachshund of my own, and have cared for, trained, and loved her for the past 12 years. In 2019 I adopted a fur child from the humane society and he is my little man! He loves to play with other dogs! I have loving arms for dogs to be with, I will make sure that all doggy needs are taken care of as per human's request. I am available most week days, depending on my work schedule. I am great with dogs and I love to play with them. In my opinion dogs are family, and all family gets treated with love and special care. I will leave your dog in a happy mood and ready for your return. I very closely follow schedules as provided, I am willing to give medicine when needed. My availability solely depends on my weekly work schedule, but I would love to be able to take care of your little furbaby! I am self employed as a life insurance agent so I can work from anywhere there is cell service which means your babies become my number one concern! I have two dogs of my own who each have their own requirements so I can absolutely accommodate whatever your baby's needs are in your home.

Sean is absolutely amazing! He is extremely conscientious, and is a great communicator. My Great Dane puppy loves spending time with him and I think she even gets a little sad on days he doesn’t come. I would 100% recommend Sean to anyone!
