“Mary has been so wonderful with my dog and cat. I work a lot and I am always worried about my pets being home alone all day. Mary takes the time to really make them comfortable and takes care of them like they are her own. Which gives me a peace of mind. I get home from work less anxious knowing they had a loving person come check on them every day while I am at work. I highly recommend her services”

“Nadine is lovely. She was flexible when a storm occured during the scheduled walk time. She arrived early and brought her dog so my little guy had a companion, which he needed while I was away.”
“We needed a dog walker on extremely short notice, and Danielle truly came through for us. She was wonderful—kind, accommodating, and professional. She took our dog on a great walk and made sure there was fresh water afterward. Even though it was her first time in our home, everything went smoothly and felt effortless.”
About: Hi, My name is Max! I am a sophomore in college hoping to get my bachelor’s degree in biology! I’m a huge animal lover!! I have played basketball for my whole life up until this year so I love to get outside and throw the tennis ball or kick the soccer ball with my sweet doggo! I’ve always grown up surrounded by so many pets which makes me want to pursue being a Vet! I have a dog of my own, Buddy and one other dogs in the house named Sheena I’ve volunteered for many shelters and I’ve loved every second of it. I’ve also pet sat for a lot of family and friends when they’ve gone out of town. I couldn’t imagine my life not being surrounded by furry friends so, I can’t wait to meet you and your pet family! I’m currently working full time so I have plenty of time to be with your pup and play with your pup and give them lots of love. I have a fenced in yard and two friendly dogs to keep your dog company and I have a huge yard and a pool if your dogs love swimming.
“Aliza was so great and communicative when she came over to take my dog for a walk. Very knowledgable and great with animals. Would absolutely love to have her again. Thank you!”
“Angie was amazing! She agreed to a meet and greet to "get to know" both us and our dogs. She attentively listened to our instructions on how to care for them, where to walk them, and what their personalities were like. She was on time, and provided their walk with professionalism.”
About: I had two felines for over 15 years but they recently passed away. They were my best friends, but they hated dogs, which brought me to Rover. I love dogs big and small, from german shepherds to a Maltese, I have never had the living situation to have one. I understand the importance of a routine in a dog's life and want to make them as comfortable as possible, especially when their human is not around. I love taking them out to play in the park or snuggling on the couch. Depending on the dog's needs I will take them for a short or long walk. We will make a plan catered to your specific pet. I have experience with giving medicine. I have experience with walking, overnight care, and in-home pups. I've always wanted a dog, let me give yours all the love I have to share. I have a flexible schedule and keep my rover calendar updated! I am an early riser and like to get moving so if you need morning help I am happy to do so. I try not to be out super late so unless I am doing an overnight the latest I'd do a visit it 9pm-10pm. Unfortunately, I can no longer offer home care in my house. For pet parents, I will arrive within the designated time, greet the pet with a warm hello, check the water to make sure it is clean and full, check the food to confirm the amount eaten, take the puppy outside to relieve itself, and/or change the puppy pad if required. Give the dog some good scratches and pats and maybe a treat if available. If the dog wants to play tug-o-war or fetch I'll do some of that too. I would like to tailor the visit to the dog's routine, so as not to cause any undue stress.
“Amy was amazing with our babies! Saffy is a tough pup to win over and she warmed up to Amy right away. She was patient and gentle with them and went above and beyond to make them comfortable. They got lots of exercise and had lots of fun, giving Amy lots of kisses after the walk.”
“What an easy and convenient experience! I was working 16hour work days while my family was out of town, so We used Kenneth twice a day for 4 days and Kenneth was on time every time and made sure our pup was taken care of! I honestly couldn’t be happier with the whole thing. Kenneth met our pup a few days before and our Dog immediately liked him. Kenneth made a tricky situation much easier and so convenient. I would highly recommend Kenneth to anyone!”
About: I have had a dog growing up my whole life. I currently do not have any pets of my own but I watch my families pets. I love to have the company of pets and treating them like my own. I am a teacher working full time. I am able to come home during the day to take pets for walks. I get home in the afternoon and am home for the night. I am in it out of the house throughout the day to care for your animal. I get home early in the day and will hang out with your pet all night.
About: Aside from growing up with two dogs throughout their puppy and elderly stages of life, I have lots of experience with animals that are not my own. I have a passion for caring for animals of all kinds—to the point where I consider the squirrels that come to my college dorm window my friends! I love helping out the pet owners in my community and often volunteer to watch dogs for free, just because I enjoy it. I have lots of experience with dogs that have special needs (i.e. injuries or medicine), and I take the responsibility of pet care seriously. I approach all animals with the same love and care as if they were my own, and i understand uniquely how worried we can get about our pets when we’re away. Part of my petsitting M.O. is frequent updates (especially photos) to give owners peace of mind. I have a special place in my heart for dogs, but am a lover of all animals and have experience with cats and bunnies as well. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends! I am a college junior currently at home for summer break. I will be taking two vacations in the next few months, but other than that my schedule allows for extremely open and flexible hours! I approach all pets with gentleness and respect, and i make sure to provide ample time for them to get used to my presence before interactions. I follow instructions thoroughly, so detail there is always appreciated, and I like to be in consistent contact with owners in case there are questions, concerns, or updates. I understand strangers can be nerve wracking for pets and their parents, so I do my very best to earn trust and be patient!

Amruta Y.Star Sitter
“I had the best experience with Amruta taking care of my adorable dog, Lilo, while I was away. She went above and beyond all of my expectations! Amruta's love for animals is unmatched, and she took care of Lilo like a true pro. Right from the start, her warm and friendly nature made both Lilo and me feel comfortable. It was clear that she knew her stuff when it came to dogs, as she followed Lilo's routine to a T, ensuring walks, playtime, and meals were on point. The way she connected with Lilo was magical; they had an instant bond! Amruta sent me regular updates, including cute pictures, so I knew Lilo was having a blast. I was blown away by Amruta's attention to Lilo's health and safety too. She was always on top of things and took care of any issues that came up. I can count on Amruta for both reliability, professionalism, and fun! I can't stress enough how much I recommend her as a dog-sitter. She's got that special touch with animals, and I’m so grateful for the amazing care she provided for Lilo.”

Bailey R.
“Bailey watched my dog Layla, a golden doodle. She watched her for a weekend and sent me a bunch of videos and pictures with the dog having lots of fun. Next time I need a sitter, I would definitely have her watch again.”
Sophia G.
“Sophia is like a dog whisperer. Every dog she encounters, she sees as a unique soul and an immediate friend. I've never seen a dog caregiver so patient with administering medicines, helping them walk with arthritis, being patient with puppy craziness, and more. She points out every dog she sees, and her gentle spirit seems to connect her to them immediately. She has helped raise two dogs in her family from puppyhood and beyond, and she has been a trusted pet sitter for others. She also has experience caring for cats and bunnies! She is an incredibly responsible caregiver (and straight-A college student) who follows each family's instructions to the letter and always goes above and beyond. She is wise beyond her years, and she maintains fantastic contact with the pet families she works for, providing regular updates and photos. She sees dogs as a gift to her life and the world in general, and it truly shows. Any doggie would be so lucky to have Sophia caring for them!”
Abigail B.
“Abigail was amazing! She kept me up to date about both my dogs and handled them with such care. She made sure they were in great hands, definitely worth booking!”
