About: I have been pet watching since I was about 12. I had a dog growing up my whole life, I’m a lover of dogs more then humans to be honest and no matter big or small all dogs are so special. I am currently looking for a new job, while starting to work a part time job. I will have more time to hang out and be present and provide the care they need. I live in an apartment but I am on second floor close to nearest exit, takes about 30 seconds to go down the stairs out to a grass area. Live in the heart of south end so lots of walking areas.
“Lindsay was so great with our pup! She spent a lot of quality time with her letting her play in the front yard and giving her plenty of love. My dog has some separation anxiety so it was soooo reassuring knowing that she was in good hands with Lindsay. Lindsay is also extremely responsive and friendly. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Breckyn was a lifesaver when I ended up in a pinch over a weekend. We were able to schedule a meet & greet super quickly, and she left thorough notes about each walk. She even pointed out an overgrown claw + sent pictures of my cats too. Really put me at ease! Thanks so much!”
“Averi is amazing, she responded quickly to my last minute requests and was so kind and gracious with my boy even though he has lots of quirks. Highly recommend!!”
About: When I was younger I started a petsitting business in my neighborhood, so I've always loved taking care of animals. I’ve got a cat of my own, and my sweet senior dog passed away October 2024, so I’m definitely ready for some more snuggles! I can go early morning or after work on the weekdays and I’m off work on the weekends! I do have a full time job so midday is limited but I have some work from home days. Just reach out and we can make something work! I have a sweet cat that is fine around most animals but would need some time to adjust. She’s a snuggly girl that loves everyone.
“Joseph was wonderful and would highly recommend! We appreciate how communicative and responsive he is, and he was able to handle multiple dogs on short notice. You can tell through the photos he sent how much our pups were well taken care of. We will for sure be using him again in the future!”
“Just one week into having Max (and his fiancé) take care of my two dogs and I’m already so impressed. Max and Jen took the time to get to know my dogs and asked tons of questions prior to starting weekly walks. They are both incredibly communicative and timely, send pictures and updates for each walk, and have been extremely patient with my female pup, who can be shy around new people. I will definitely turn to Max and Jen for any future dog sitting needs!”
About: I have raised 2 golden retrievers and cared for many family friend's dogs previously. Fun fact: I've trained both my golden's to fetch the paper each morning. I'm currently waiting to become licensed as a physician assistant and in the mean time am really looking forward to spending time with some furry friends while also hoping to have a buddy to explore the neighborhood with. I am familiar with taking care of dogs in other people's homes. Very happy to accommodate pets that are crate trained and those that are not.
“Steve came to our family’s rescue after I tore my ACL. Our pup is VERY high energy and so I ran with him prior to my injury. All of that energy had to go somewhere while I recovered and Steve was that answer!”
About: I love animals and look forward to meeting your pet! Over the years, I've had several regular dog walking and sitting clients. I work from home, so I can be available to your dog all day. I would love to walk your dog or spend plenty of time with them in my fenced in yard. We have a quiet neighborhood with sidewalks to go for several daily walks. I am very detail-oriented and would care for your pet like my own. For boarding in my home, please note that I have a 12lb schnauzer mix named Teddy. He loves other dogs and gets along with them in our home. He is a rescue, so he's still warming up to human guests and may be crated during your meet & greet. I work from home, so I’m available to spend all day with your dog. I walk Teddy out between 8-9am to start the morning. I then let him out again around noon for a fetch break, and again in the evening for more fetch and a walk. I can be flexible on walks and outdoor time due to working from home. I care for each dog like my own! I keep a tidy home and have plenty of space in a fenced in back yard. Dogs must be housebroken to stay at my house, although I understand accidents happen. I prefer dogs that are crate trained, but will make an exception for well-behaved dogs. I cannot accommodate dogs who become destructive when left alone for brief periods.
About: I have lived with / owned pets since I was born, and currently I have 2 cats of my own! I love cats and dogs, and will take very good care of any that I watch! I love giving them exercise, good food, and scratches. I am available during most weekends to take care of your fur babies! I work a corporate 8-5, but I am available when I’m not working my full time job. I make sure that pets are fed, have enough water, get exercise, and attention. As a pet owner I know how much people miss their pets when they are out of town, so I will send lots of pictures!
About: I grew up surrounded by lots of cats and have been caring for them my whole life. I also have a dog and a cat of my own now, so I truly understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I naturally connect with dogs and cats of all kinds — shy, playful, big, or small — and I trained my own dog, so I’m comfortable handling different needs and personalities. I love giving every pet the same care and attention I’d want for my own fur babies. I recently had to quit my full time job to focus on my school. So i am mostly available. For the walks i prefer early or after 4-5pm because of the heat but otherwise i am mostly available. When I visit your home for walking or drop-in visits, I make sure to follow your pet’s routine closely — from feeding schedules to playtime preferences and any special needs. I spend quality time with them, offering lots of attention, gentle play, and calm companionship to help them feel safe and happy while you’re away. During walks, I keep your dog’s pace and personality in mind — whether they love energetic runs or slower strolls — and always prioritize their safety and comfort. I’m attentive, reliable, and treat every pet like they’re my own.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my genuine love and care for pets of all sizes and ages. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I’m dedicated to meeting those needs, whether it’s a playful puppy or a senior pet who needs extra attention and care. I’m flexible with walks, tailoring them to your pet’s energy level—whether it’s a quick jaunt or a leisurely stroll, I make sure they get exactly what they need. I also pay close attention to the specific instructions you provide, ensuring that I follow every detail to make sure your pet feels comfortable and well-cared for in your absence. Pet care fits seamlessly into my flexible daily schedule, allowing me to accommodate pets whenever they need me. I’m often available on short notice if last-minute situations arise, ensuring that your pet always has the care they deserve, even with little time to spare. Additionally, I’m happy to offer overnight care with the proper amount of pre-planning, ensuring your pet has a familiar and comfortable environment while you're away. I provide in-home care at your residence once we’ve had the proper introductions to ensure your pet feels comfortable with me. I take time to get to know your pet’s routine, preferences, and any specific care instructions you have. While in your home, I focus on providing a safe, familiar environment for your pet, maintaining their daily routines, and offering plenty of love, attention, and playtime. Whether it’s feeding, walking, or just keeping them company, I make sure they feel at ease while you’re away.
About: I have over 5 years of experience caring for pets of all ages, from playful puppies to senior dogs needing extra attention.

Allison F.
“I strongly recommend Allison to care for pets via Rover.com! This may be cliche or maybe heard a lot but I've truly never met anyone love dogs, pets, animals, etc more. Her mom even calls her an animal whisperer. While she's never taken care of my pet (bc I don't have one), she is always walking / hanging out with her friends dogs when needed, & I have watched pets with her over the weekend, every one always loving her. We have even done puppy yoga, and she is at skiptown (dog park) every other day with her friends & their dogs, meeting & petting every one she can. She has even fostered dogs before. Whenever we are out, she is always meeting / petting furry strangers (with the owners permission) & I have the pics to prove it. Not only all of that, but she would love to do this & will actually care about the work she does! Thank you”

Grier Heights dog parents share their Rover experiences
I can’t say enough great things about Lauren. As my first time using the app/service I was highly impressed. Throughout each walk, Lauren updated with daily photos and messages, letting me know how things were going. It gave me such peace of mind to know my dog was being loved, walked, and cared for like one of their own. I came home to a happy dog. If you’re looking for someone reliable, kind, and truly passionate about pets, I highly recommend Lauren. I’ll definitely be booking again!
Joseph was wonderful and would highly recommend! We appreciate how communicative and responsive he is, and he was able to handle multiple dogs on short notice. You can tell through the photos he sent how much our pups were well taken care of. We will for sure be using him again in the future!
We love Olivia! She was on time and so sweet. She went above and beyond while walking Seamus—they did a full mile in 30 minutes! My boy was pooped when he got back, which definitely helped ease my guilt on a busy day. She made me feel very comfortable and reassured me that he was well behaved. It’s always a little nerve-wracking handing the leash over and hoping they behave themselves, but she handled it perfectly. We’ll definitely be contacting her again for walks. Thanks again, Olivia!
If "Above & beyond" were a person, it would be Elizabeth! The care Elizabeth showed for Diesel, from the meet & greet til their last walk was incredible. Diesel, who is known to be... "selective", got excited anytime she heard the buzzer sound and walked to the hallway and greet Elizabeth when they arrived. Normally she is very coy, but not with Elizabeth! It takes weeks for Diesel to warm to someone, but Elizabeth had her in days. It was clear that Elizabeth has a passion for dogs. Administratively, Elizabeth was prompt, communicative, and professional at all times. She displayed extraordinary patience before and during the booking process, as there were some issues on Rover's end. I would not hesitate to recommend Elizabeth to care for your animal. I will certainly be relying on her again, to care for mine.
