About: I bring a unique blend of rural and urban pet care experience. I grew up on a farm surrounded by animals—horses, dogs, cats, goats, and chickens—so caring for animals has always been second nature. That hands-on upbringing taught me responsibility, intuition, and how to understand animals' needs. For the past five years, I’ve raised my Australian Shepherd in an urban setting, giving me experience with high-energy breeds, leash training, and adapting routines to busy city life. Whether it’s senior pets, puppies, or animals with big personalities, I bring calm, capable, and compassionate care rooted in a lifetime of experience. Pet care is a meaningful part of my daily routine. I start each morning with a walk or play session—it’s a great way to connect and set a positive tone for the day. Throughout the day, I build in time for feeding, potty breaks, and check-ins to ensure pets feel safe and cared for. On weekends or evenings, I prioritize longer walks, enrichment, and cuddles. Whether I’m balancing research or writing as a PhD student, I make sure pets in my care are always a top priority. Their routine becomes part of mine. I prioritize creating a calm, safe, and pet-friendly environment—whether in my home or a client’s. I follow each pet’s routine closely, from feeding schedules to preferred walking routes and play styles. I take time to build trust, especially with shy or anxious pets, using patience and positive reinforcement. Safety is always top of mind: I double-check leashes and gates, avoid off-leash situations unless in fully enclosed areas, and monitor for any signs of stress or discomfort. I also provide regular updates to give pet parents peace of mind. My goal is to make every pet feel at home, secure, and loved.

“Meg was absolutely wonderful with Mika. She clearly loves animals and was patient with my senior dog. She was communicative, reliable and sent cute pics. Greatly appreciate her!”



“Cara did an awesome job with my pup! She was super responsive and enthusiastic about taking my girl on a walk. I even got a sweet picture to boot. I'm very pleased - thanks, Cara!”


About: I've had both small and large dogs since I was a kid. My sister had a Golden Retriever service dog most of my childhood and I was able to pick up on dog behaviors very quickly. I currently have a 7 month old miniature dachshund named Ozzy who I have raised and trained since 8 weeks old. I'm very comfortable with puppies and can crate your pet if necessary! I am able to devote my entire day to making your pet comfy! I can also run out and take your pet's on a walk, pretty much any time of day! I have a full fenced backyard and a 2 bedroom house that can be used to separate animals as necessary! I will have my dog and two adult cats around who are happy to give a new friend a cuddle or an engaging play time!

About: With a strong sense for dog body language and behavior, I naturally bond with dogs and know how to keep them engaged, playful, and calm. Whether it’s a high-energy pup or a senior companion, I tailor their care to suit their needs and give them a fulfilling, well-balanced day. My schedule allows me to maintain consistent routines for feeding, training, sleep, and potty breaks. I offer a variety of experiences from city parks to nature hikes, giving dogs exposure to a diverse range of settings. I also provide basic training support including crate, leash/off-leash, recall, sport-based games like fetch and frisbee, and even task-based and obedience exercises—skills I’ve developed through 10+ years of experience with dogs from puppyhood to senior stages. As a graduate student currently on summer break, my schedule is wide open—and I’ve intentionally structured my time to prioritize pet care. I’m available for care throughout the day, whether that means early-morning walks, mid-day play sessions, or overnight sitting. My flexibility allows me to tailor routines around your dog’s unique needs, whether they’re energetic and need lots of stimulation or prefer a slower, calmer pace. I spend much of my time outdoors, and I love incorporating dogs into that lifestyle—hiking scenic trails, visiting off-leash parks, or just taking long neighborhood walks. I believe dogs thrive when they experience new encounters, and I work those moments of enrichment into every week. I live in a spacious, first-floor apartment with direct access to a secure patio and a neighborhood dog park—just steps outside my door. This makes potty breaks, quick outdoor play/walks, and socialization seamless and stress-free. Every day, our neighborhood hosts friendly dog meetups with well-behaved pups, offering perfect opportunities for your dog to engage with others in a safe environment. Inside my home, dogs will find a clean, calm, and organized space with plenty of enrichment. I have a variety of toys, training tools, puzzles, and games to ensure your dog stays mentally and physically stimulated—the goal is for no boredom and anxiety. I also keep a full range of grooming and cleaning supplies on hand, so whether your dog needs a simple wipe-down or a post-adventure bath, I’ve got it covered. I am well-versed in training methods and behavior management, so if your pup has specific routines or commands, I likely already have the knowledge and equipment to maintain their structure. I’m happy to reinforce crate training, leash manners, or any custom instructions you provide to ensure consistency while you’re away. I also have a well-socialized golden retriever mix who’s incredibly calm, friendly, and trained to model great behavior for other dogs. If your dog enjoys companionship, mine makes an excellent playmate. If needed, I can crate or separate the dogs for one-on-one attention or downtime—your dog’s comfort and safety always come first.

“Beth walked my dog while I was out of town and my dog was staying with my friend. She did a great job. She met with me beforehand and texted me everyday letting me know how it went.”


“Kelsey was great with my 1 year old Aiko! Aiko came back happy, refreshed and best of all, tired and calm lol. Would definitely recommend Kelsey to any dog lover!”


“Sarah was wonderful with my dog and also fantastic to work with! She is extremely responsive and reliable. Her communication is excellent (including lots of details and photos after each walk)! I will happily book her again!”


“I would highly recommend Abby! She was very responsive and took great care of our pup. We received updates and pictures while we were away which was very much appreciated. It's always hard to leave our dog, but felt she was in good hands with Abby!”


“Juliette was so great with my puppy Otis for their first time together! He is a ball of energy and he was actually tied when he came back. She kept me updated and would send photos throughout the walk. I definitely will be using her again!”


About: I grew up with two dogs and a cat and have always loved petsitting for all my friends and family. I love going on long walks and can flex to your schedule. I work fully remote so I can either stop by in the morning, during lunch and evenings, or work from your home if you’d like. I take my responsibility as a pet sitter very seriously and will make sure to follow your pet’s normal routine as best I can. I will make sure they are loved and well taken care of!

About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover who’s grown up surrounded by pets of all kinds—dogs, cats, horses, and even cows. To me, animals are family, and I treat every pet I care for with the same love and attention I give my own. Whether your pup needs a long walk, a quick potty break, medicine, or just some affection while you’re at work or away, I’m here to help. I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes and temperaments, and I’m always happy to tailor my care to your pet’s unique needs and routine. I first started pet sitting back in college and quickly realized how much I love being a part of helping animals feel comfortable and cared for when their humans can’t be there. It’s always been more than just a job to me—it’s something I truly enjoy doing. You can trust that your furry friend will be safe, happy, and well-loved in my care. I can’t wait to meet them! I’m a recent college graduate currently working part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule to offer dependable, personalized pet care throughout the week. Whether it’s a midday walk, morning visit, or evening check-in, I’m able to work around your pet’s routine to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as familiar and stress-free as possible. I follow all care instructions closely—whether that’s feeding, administering medication, cleaning litter boxes, or taking dogs out for a walk or potty break. I always make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and affection during my visits. I also keep pet parents updated with messages and photos, so you can feel confident your furry family member is happy and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for my entire life! Growing up, we always had one large dog and one small dog in the house, so I can manage all sorts of temperaments and chaos. Walking the dogs, bathing them, potty training them, and playing with them are things that have been part of my responsibilities since I can remember. I’m currently a college student, so I have a LOT of free time. Obviously, every day is different but my schedule is fairly flexible, and I’m available at most times of the day. I really try to care for others’ pets not as if they were my own, but better than that. I really try to go above and beyond to make people feel comfortable that their pets are in my care, and I true to communicate about anything and everything. I want pet parents to feel encouraged to talk to me about anything and mention any concerns or complaints!!!

About: I’ve grown up with both cats and dogs. I now have a cat, Pico de Gato, and I live for visits from my nephew, a Maltese named Monty. I am available for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting. I’m also a bit of a plant lady if you need plants watered! I am open to watching small dogs in my home. I work from home most days, and have a flexible schedule. I am available on weekends and would love to have your pup join me for some time in the sun! I typically go on two 20+min hot girl walks daily, in addition to shorter potty breaks. Always up for cuddles or a game of tug-o-war! Cats can enjoy a game of laser play or other excitement. If boarding in my home, I have toys, and a dog stroller available if needed.

“Nicole went above and beyond to take care of my pup Georgia while I was away on vacation! From brushing her to bringing her new toys to keep her occupied she really exceeded expectations. Can't recommend her enough!”


“Arantxa was exactly the dog caregiver we were hoping for. She took care of our dogs in a pinch with the least amount of disturbance possible. She went above my expectations with how well she kept in touch in spite of my inability to respond. I got updates and photos with our dogs looking completely happy. It was obvious they were having a great time. Her photos were great too! She asked the right questions and did a flawless job. I'll definitely book her again.”

Hancock dog parents share their Rover experiences
Kim is amazing with my dog — he absolutely adores her! He gets so excited every time he sees her, and it’s clear he feels completely comfortable and happy in her care. It gives me peace of mind knowing he’s in such good hands. She’s always on time, super reliable, and goes the extra mile by sending me photos during their walks, which I always appreciate. I can’t recommend her enough!

Marcella is the best! She did an awesome job walking my guy Jackson multiple times a day and giving him his meds and making me feel comfortable while I was gone. Highly recommend!

Becky is great! When she couldn’t get into the house, she waited patiently for 30 mins until I responded. Highly recommend her! My shy cat even felt comfortable enough to come out :)

Charles is a great dog walker! He is very responsible and reliable and handles my energetic dogs well!
