My husband was gone on a business trip and I needed some help walking Kiki in the afternoons. I wanted someone experienced with pitties just in case some of her behaviors came out during the walk and Alex did great! She was always super excited to see him and we can’t wait to book him again :)

I want to send yet another BIG THANK YOU to Ayashe for loving on my babies like I do and always caring for them with professionalism and kindness. I have enjoyed working with her for over a year where she reliably showed up to walk them in a timely manner, communicated regularly, and became a trusted part of our routine/household. Even though I booked one walk at a time, I was a recurring client this whole time and could not have done it without her. Thank you so much for all your help and being an ideal Rover walker 🐶🐶❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

After my initial meeting with Ann-Marie I felt very secure with leaving Mia in her hands while I’m at work. Ann-Marie has been walking Mia during the week for a few months now and has proven to be very professional, consistent, responsible, and truly cares about Mia’s well being. I would 100% recommend her to for your pet care needs.

About: Over the past 12 years, I’ve raised and trained two dogs from just 2 weeks old, giving me hands-on experience in early puppy care and training. I’ve also cared for multiple large-breed dogs in a family home, adapting to different temperaments and routines. Beyond personal care, I’ve rescued several dogs off the street and volunteered at animal shelters—experiences that taught me how to handle a wide range of behaviors with patience and compassion. My deep love for animals and real-world experiences is what I live for. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine right now, as I currently don’t have a job and have open availability. I’m fully available any time from Saturday through Sunday, making it easy for me to accommodate last-minute bookings or extended care needs. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I make sure the environment is pet-proofed, calm, and secure—free of hazards and full of love. I follow any instructions closely, from feeding routines to preferred walking routes, and always give pets the attention they need to feel safe and happy. I also take time to build trust with each pet so they feel at ease while their owner is away.

About: I have over 20 years of experience volunteering, fostering and homing dogs and cats. I have pet sat for people in the past, and dog walked. I currently work from home and are have fairly open schedule if needed. I also have weekends free so I am open 7 days a week for walks or board and care. I live in an one bedroom apartment in the back of my parents home and we have a friendly dog but he lives in the other house so can hang out there if needed. I have a backyard with a fence.

About: I am very intuitive when it comes to emotions. It is easy for me to read when pups need some grounding, when they need to be taken away to calm down, when they are unwell and what kind of social engagement they like. This is why I get along with 98% of all the animals I've met and why I'm excited to meet some new furry friends! I'm currently looking for a full time job but in the meantime I have an open schedule and I want to use this time to work as many Rover sitter jobs as I can, I can't think of a better part time job to have! When I care for other peoples pets I make sure to ask a core set of important questions to better understand each animals unique needs. I respect life above all else; its very important to me to do the best job I can to keep the living beings under my care happy, safe and healthy. I also like to leave the spaces I stay in cleaner than I found them so I make sure the kitchen and the main living room are orderly and clean.

When you leave your pet with me, you can relax knowing your pup will be treated like family. I’m patient, attentive, and great with shy or high-energy dogs alike. 🦴 Daily walks, playtime, cuddles, and care...Always. 🐕‍🦺 Comfortable with senior dogs, high energy dogs, multiple dogs, and special routines. 🏡 Safe, clean, kid-friendly home in a great walking neighborhood. 📸 I’ll send photos and updates so you never feel far from your furry friend.

We get up and head out for a morning walk, then offer breakfast. The morning is busy and playful and the afternoon is quiet and a time to relax before the afternoon walk then dinner. We use exercise as a way to tire everyone out as it helps with behavior and sleep. Plenty of potty breaks throughout the day. We have a large backyard that’s great for playtime. We stay indoors with all our dogs and go outside for playtime together. We don’t like to leave them alone outside all day. We have a deck that’s perfect for sitting in the sunshine and in good weather we like to leave the doors open so that the deck is accessible for extra comfort.

I can’t recommend Jasmine enough when it comes to caring for animals. Over the past 10 years, she has shown such a deep love and dedication to every pet she’s cared for, she treats each one like family. What really stands out is how attentive she is to their health and well-being, she makes sure their meals are nutritious and tailored to their needs. She’s incredibly thoughtful, patient, and genuinely passionate about animals. Any pet would be lucky to be in her care!

Krystle is AMAZING! What truly sets her apart is her deep, genuine love for all animals! You can see it with her own pets as well as anyone she sees outside. She has watched our puppy (1 year old Goldendoodle) and it was as if we were home with him. My puppy has separation anxiety and with her being there with him, he was calm and relaxed all day with her. She doesn’t just “watch” pets, she knows how to bond with them! Whether it’s just being there to comfort them, play or sitting quiet with them, she treats every animal like it’s her own! She is passionate about animals. If you’re looking for someone who truly loves animals and treats them with kindness, respect and care, Krystle is someone you can absolutely trust!

Amy was sent to do this with a passion. She walked my dog over a mile a day. She made sure it was cool enough so his feet wouldn’t burn. When I came home, he was waiting for Amy to come home. While here, she also cleaned up parts of my home. My dog has a LOT of energy and Amy was able to calm him down.

Yonkyu had dogs growing up and currently owns a small, old dog. She is a nice person and loves pets. I believe she will be a great petsitter.

Nataly is the absolute best Rover! She is so kind and takes the best pictures. She’s super easy to schedule with and Winnie could not love her more! Thank you so much Nataly ❤️

Sui is great! First off, he responded to my dog walking request within 5 minutes! Very impressive! Upon acceptance, he asked pertinent questions in relation to Django’s mannerisms. Sui was punctual and arrived 5 minutes before our scheduled time, which is definitely a plus in my book! Just for reference, Django is a 70 pound Japanese, male Akita. He is very loyal and protective of his humans and so I’m usually weary when he meets new people. Django seemed to take to Sui without a problem. If needed, I would definitely contact him to walk Django, without any hesitation!

Elissa overall was outstanding. First time using the rover app. I was a little nervous. And not sure how it all worked. Elissa communicated very well. Sent me photos. Will definitely book Elissa again.

Meeting Ann and Wen was the best lifesavers for Ciri and myself. I really appreciated the kindness that Ciri received. Ciri really look forward to her walks. We will miss you both. Thank you so much.

10/10 would recommend! Bret took my request even if it was a last minute booking and he was so nice my dog likes him! He sent photos of their walk, came back on time and my dog came back definitely happy and probably tired since as soon as he got home he just went to sleep ☺️

This was our first meeting with Alex and he was excellent! Our dog loved him instantly and he spent quality time getting to know her and our family’s needs before their first walk. We love that he has experience with big dogs and knows the area well. I so appreciated that he asked or answered all the questions that were on my mind. We look forward to working with him long term!

Christina is awesome! She's punctual, excellent communicator and is so sweet with my excited doggo. He hasn't spent much time with people outside our family and he immediately loved Christina. We're happy to be repeat customers!

Nick was engaging and attentive with my two dogs. I have two large dogs, with different personalities. Nick was able to manage and walk my puppy Australian Husky who can be very stubborn and mischievous, while engaging my Golden Doodle who loves to play fetch. I would definitely book him again.

Miriam is very responsive and communication with her is easy. She was also flexible and worked with our schedule to make dog walking work well. Our dog was always happy to see her and we felt was taken good care of. Thank you, Miriam!

Daniel was amazing with Kevin and I can tell he was well cared for on his walk! Kevin came back with his tail wagging and that makes me so happy! I will absolutely continue to have Daniel come get some of Kevin’s extra energy out of his system!! 10/10 would recommend!!

Alex was great with our Benji!!! Communicative and Reliable just like he says in his bio. I would absolutely re book with him again in the future. He sent us updates and pics of our boy, and helped us feel at ease with leaving Benji with someone new.

Shannon came faithfully and walked my two dogs (even the feisty chihuahua, who can get nippy if rushed)—even in the rain. I think there was some initial miscommunication regarding the walking schedule, but in the end, the dogs were always walked, I always got the walking report, and Shannon regularly communicated her ETA. As a dog mom—my two dogs are like my little babies—I may have left notes that were too detailed, but ultimately everything turned out great.
