“Alexandra is amazing! She’s done such a great job making my puppy comfortable. My puppy sometimes can get upset when I leave her. But she is excited to see Alexandra and isn’t phased by me leaving for the day at all.”

“Porkchop got along with Domino and Pippy very well. I dont think he wanted to leave. First Friday ever, has Porkchop slept through the night and let me sleep in until 830 am instead of the usual 5 am. So thankful. Definitely using Hillary, Domino, and Pippy again.”

About: I’m new to Rover, but I’ve been taking care of dogs for almost a decade, and I truly enjoy spending time with pups of all ages — from high-energy puppies to sweet seniors who need a little extra care. I’ve handled everything from daily walks and feedings to vet visits, giving meds, and of course, lots of playtime, cuddles, and love. All breeds and sizes are welcome! Whether your dog loves long walks, squeaky toys, belly rubs, or just hanging out, I do my best to make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I’m also a pretty patient person — living with a very opinionated 4-year-old Corgi has made sure of that. (If you know Corgis, you know exactly what I mean. 😅) For everyone’s safety, I do ask that your pup brings their own leash, toys, bowls, and waste bags. If you have any questions or special requests, feel free to reach out. I’m happy to chat and work out what’s best for you and your dog. I work from home as a freelance creative director, which basically means I make my own hours and always have a dog nearby for creative inspiration (and the occasional snack break buddy). My flexible schedule lets me give pups the attention they deserve — whether it’s morning walks, midday playtime, or just being there so they’re not home alone. Since I’m around most of the day, your dog won’t be left waiting for love, walks, or belly rubs. So whether your pup’s routine is chill and cozy or full of zoomies, I’m here for it. Whether your dog is staying with me, I’m visiting your home, or we’re just heading out for a walk, their safety, happiness, and comfort always come first. At my place, your pup will have plenty of room to relax and play. I live in a spacious, newly renovated apartment with AC (perfect for nap time on hot days), a big back porch for sunbathing, and a nice dog park just a couple of blocks away. On warm days, I even set up a dog pool outside so the pups can splash, cool off, and have some extra fun! When I’m caring for pets in their own homes, I make sure to stick to their routine and follow your instructions closely — all while keeping your space clean and respected. For walks, I always stay aware of the surroundings, keep dogs securely leashed, and tailor each walk to their energy and comfort level. Whether it’s a slow stroll or a high-energy trot, I’ve got it covered. No matter the service, your dog will get the love and attention they deserve — plus lots of updates so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands.

“I am new to this city and have an overprotective dog who is adjusting to city life. Jamie took very good care of him and kept me informed to help reduce my anxiety. I definitely plan to leave Rocket with Jamie for more time in the future.”

About: Our trained and loving staff provide quality care. We have a rigorous first day evaluation/ 'interview' process for all dogs in our care to ensure only the most well behaved and social pups are approved to be in playgroup. We keep small playgroups of 15 to 20 dogs. We take hourly potty breaks, have toy playtime, outdoor mini pool pawties in the summer to keep cool, and so much more!

“Agnes went above and beyond to make this experience as comfortable for me and my pup as anyone could ask for. She let us do a meet and greet prior which absolutely helped put my generally anxious dog at ease day of! She took great care of my dog and sent adorable updates of her seeming happy and playful with Archie. I would absolutely recommend her services to anyone!!”

“Elliott took great care of Ernie! He worked with him on leash reactivity on his walks, and had him tired out by the end of the day. We'll be back!”

Alex H.

“Brenda and Milo are beyond excellent! They have been very accommodating and welcoming, which was so reassuring as this was our first time using Rover. They gave us a generous amount of photo updates, which we loved! This was Sarsi's first time away from us, and although she may have been anxious at first, they made sure to put on her Thundershirt to give her some comfort. We hope Sarsi was good company to their dog Boozer as well! We would definitely use Brenda and Milo again!”

“Michael was great and took care of Remi last minute. Remi took an immediate shine to him and seemed super happy after his visit.”
