“Ryan was great with our very energetic five month old German Shorthair Pointer. He spent lots of time outside with him and sent lots of pictures. He was flexible with adjusting timing when our plans changed slightly.”

About: I'm new to Rover but definitely not new to doggos! I've been around dogs my entire life. We had a soft coated wheaten growing up, and I rescued a lab mix when I was in college about 8 years ago. As a sole caretaker of a dog, I know how to read dogs' body language extremely well and can adjust my behavior accordingly. I've also babysat/walked friends' dogs throughout my young adult life so I'm very experienced in caring for puppers of all shapes, sizes and attitudes :) I am a middle school teacher on summer vacation so my schedule is open for all your dog walking and sitting needs! Book with me! If you have any special instructions regarding your pups walk, just let me know and I can follow them! If they need to be crated that's no problem, and can leave them with fresh food and water if need be! Whatever will make them more comfy :)
“Svetlana was fantastic with our little Shihtzu baby girl. She sent me photos and updates while she was there. Sweetie seemed very happy to hang out with her. Thank you Svetlana!”

About: I have experience walking dogs as a side hustle for over three years, and I have cats of my own. I also volunteered at a pet shelter, so I’m able to meet all types of animals’ needs. I’m happy to assist those in the area! As a remote intern, I have plenty of time throughout the day to spend time with your pets, without rushing walks or visits. I have flexible hours to be there when needed! Certain animals can behave differently when their owners are away from home, so it’s important to go above and beyond to show them love! I have cleaned many stress-related accidents for them and are attentive to their needs. I always try to play fetch with them if they’re interested!
“I discovered I had no one to watch my to somewhat challenging dogs the night before a work event. Jake was professional, offered to have a quick meet and greet before the next day's visit, and showed up on time for both visits. I added a laundry list of concerns to my dog's profile. Luckily my dog loved Jake within 5 minutes of meeting him. So much so, that when my husband returned early and accidentally let Xara escape from the house, it was Jake my dog allowed herself to be caught by. She doesn't allow anyone but her besties to get near her when she is loose.”

“Karina took amazing care of our dogs while we were away—reliable, loving, and super communicative. We got daily updates, and our dogs were clearly happy and well-loved. Highly recommend Karina to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy pet sitter.”

About: a dog owner myself and living in an area surrounded by owners who I’ve helped over the years to take care either walk, stay over night, or just a cuddle buddy, I’ve worked from puppies all the way to senior puppies I work full time but my hours vary each day so I know what days work better and will be able to help anyone whenever requests assistance for their loving furry friend my dog is trained off leash, but I don’t have a fenced backyard I love at a dead end so I have a lot of space to run around if need but a big area in neighborhood for walks to the park or just in town.

About: I’ve been caring for my own animals since childhood and grew up with big dogs. Today I share my life with an 80-pound hound mix and a Velcro cat. I’m naturally empathetic, reliable, and genuinely happiest when caring for animals. Your pets will always have my full attention, and I make it a priority to ensure they feel safe, loved, and understood. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, including energetic puppies and gentle seniors. I adapt easily to different personalities and routines, whether that means patience, structure, or extra affection. Got a dog who pulls on the leash? I’ve got you. Got a cat who needs a little extra love and reassurance? I’ve got that covered too. I’m here for all your needs. I do work a typical 8-4 job with other hobbies of mine. But I’m open on weekends and nights! Weekends are pretty open both Saturday and Sunday. Nights I’m available for walks and drop ins after 5pm! I have a fenced in yard. However I am going to prefer to come to your house. My dog is a queen and would rather me not bring home dogs. Lol.
About: I have grown up caring for family dogs along with dog sitting for other neighborhood dogs! I enjoy all kinds of dogs, big & small, high & low energy! I am excited to help you and your pup! I currently have one pup myself, a border collie! For the dogs who need a lot of exercise - I’m excited to burn off that energy! I am very active myself. I also love working with more mellow dogs too! You name the dog, I will love meeting them and getting to spend time with them! If your dog has any special commands, I am happy to reinforce/use them if you would like! I look forward to spending time with your pup! A pet’s needs are just as important as anything and are involved all day long. Their routine would be carefully followed to ensure your pup is staying happy and healthy. Feeding, walking, backyard playing, mental stimulation, playing, or just some snuggle time! All are important and I’m happy to do whatever you prefer for your pup!
About: Senior in high school with two years’ pet care experience and my own dog. Passionate about animals and exploring vet school. Loving, reliable, and attentive. Senior in high school with weekday extracurriculars during the first months. Available weekends and holidays, with flexible hours outside school activities for quality pet care. I provide loving, safe care—cuddles, playtime, fresh food, and water. Your pet’s comfort and happiness always come first in a caring, trustworthy, and nurturing environment.
“Amazing! Our doggies loved him. He took extra care and truly altered his schedule to surround our dogs at the center of it. Consistently responsive, and let us know of every single detail which was most appreciative. Excited to book him again!”


About: I have had cats since I was a kid, walked my friends’ dogs in the neighborhood and just love being outside in their company walking and playing. I am currently working from home and have plenty of time during the day to walk your pet friend. I love to be outside in any weather and will take nice long walks and play. My family member has developed bad allergies so I cannot have my own pets. I love dogs and cats a lot and will enjoy their company.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10 for members within my community. I have dog sat for dogs off all sizes and ages. I also love to teach dogs new skills and give them plenty of play time and attention! Additionally, I have experience working with dogs with behavioral issues as well! I currently am working part time and I am free completely on the weekends. During the day I will take your pet on 2-3 long walks and shorter potty breaks in between if needed (depending on the dog) In my home I keep the upstairs level gated off if your pet is unsupervised. Otherwise, I do my best to let your pet get adjusted and comfortable in their new environment.
“Hailey did a fantastic job taking care of our dog. I loved receiving photos at every visit. I would highly recommend her! She was quick to respond, she kept me updated. Our dog was well taken care of!”

About: I have worked at a dog daycare for 3 years and I am a Karen Pryor Academy Certified Training Professional. I have a lot of experience working with all types and sizes of dogs including reactive, fearful, and overly excited dogs, puppies, and those who need training! I put my training practices into every walk to make sure the dog is safe and doing the best they can! I love walking, running, playing ball or tug with dogs, training, and creating a lot of enrichment activities to tire out their brains! I do have a day job, but I tend to be free in the mornings or afternoons! I have a very active lifestyle so your dog will get all the activities they need! I am very knowledgeable with all types of harnesses, collars, and leashes so I will make sure your dog is fitted properly and safe! Also, I have a lot of experience with feeding dogs and cleaning up after them, so I can make sure your home is spotless! Daily enrichment activities and training is something I incorporate in every service no matter the dog!
“Madi and Abby were amazing! Our two young cats were so comfortable around Abby and that shows how great she was with them! She followed all instructions, sent tons of pictures that made us so happy while away, and even was extremely patient and communicative during a situation where our electric front door locked wouldn’t open! Would absolutely recommend and book again! So happy we found them!”
