About: I’m Matt. I grew up with cats, but adopted my first dog at 21. My family has had dogs ever since. I have two dogs at the moment, both rescues. I’ve had large and small dogs and can adapt walks and visits to whatever activity level or needs your dogs have. My dogs are members of my family, and you can be confident that I will treat your companions with the same care I do my own. I am a graduate student who is medically retiring from my current work. I have a lot of availability on weekdays to drop in to walk and visit with your dogs. The only things I usually have to schedule around are getting my kids out the door to school and back home. The wellbeing and safety of my dogs is a priority. Your dogs will be cared for the same. Everything comes second to keeping your dogs safe while in my care. I will always follow your preferences for walks, treats, and other care if needed. If there are any problems that come up, I will promptly get in touch with you and make sure your dogs are in the best hands possible.
“Xinia has been great with my dog! She shows up on time is very kind to my Frenchie Harriet and even gets her stubborn doggie butt to go on a walk with her. Harriet is usually difficult to walk for strangers as she just stops and acts stubborn. The last time Xinia walked her Harriet was excited to see her for a walk! This is has been wonderful for me since I can't walk her for a while as I just had foot surgery.”
“Donna was awesome. Have two sweet but strong dogs and she took great care of them on their walks. We were staying at a hotel locally and needed our dogs walked mid day. Highly recommend her!”
About: I simply love animals and love caring for them. I am a dog mom to a very energetic, large boy. I understand what it takes to walk a dog that is not be the friendliest to other animals and people. I am confident controlling a leash, I understand dogs that suffer from resource guarding, and I am excited to work on and off leash to make sure your pup has the most fun possible. Your dog deserves understanding, care, and the best experience possible. I also have a lot of experience caring for chickens and am the happy mom of a back yard flock. LGBT friendly! Rover is my current full-time job, so I have a lot of availability on weekdays and weekends. I am happy to house sit on weekdays and weekends and walk at all times of the day. I work with my clients to understand who their dog is and what their dog needs. I know each person and pet may be different, and I am here to make your life easier by caring for your fuzzy friend while your away or walking them while you are out for the day. I have worked with animals that are reactive on leashes and understand how to ensure they have the best experience on their daily walks. I am communicative and eager to build an environment of trust with my clients centered around a joint love for our pets.
About: What sets me apart is my combination of experience, safety awareness, and genuine love for animals. I’ve been pet sitting for over 5 years and have grown up with dogs and cats my entire life. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies and kittens to senior pets who need a gentler pace and extra attention. In addition to dogs and cats, I’ve also cared for reptiles, birds, and fish, so I’m comfortable managing diverse household pet needs and following detailed care routines. I have experience administering oral medications, caring for pets during minor illnesses, and working with animals who have anxiety or behavioral challenges. I’m observant and attentive to subtle changes in behavior, which helps me respond quickly and responsibly if something seems off. In addition to pet care experience, I have a strong background in health and safety. I’ve worked in safety-focused environments and am CPR/First Aid trained, so I prioritize safe routines, secure handling, and proactive communication at all times. I’m also very active and love being outdoors, which makes me a great match for high-energy dogs who need engaging walks and enrichment. Whether your pet needs long walks, structured playtime, or calm companionship, I can tailor my approach to their individual needs. As a pet owner myself, I understand the importance of trust. I provide consistent updates with photos and videos, so you always feel connected and reassured while you’re away. I treat every pet in my care as if they were my own. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine. I’m a full-time hybrid student, which means I have a flexible schedule and am only away for short periods of time during the day. I’m able to plan my classes and study time around the pets I’m caring for to ensure they get consistent attention and interaction. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely look forward to each day. I make time for play, walks, enrichment, and quiet companionship depending on the pet’s needs. Because I’m home frequently, I’m able to maintain routines and provide a steady presence rather than long stretches of absence. I provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routines. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, walks, playtime, and household preferences. I am very respectful of others’ homes and treat each space with the same care I would expect for my own. I keep things clean, secure doors and windows, and maintain open communication throughout the stay. My goal is for you to return to a happy, well-cared-for pet and a home exactly as you left it.
“Matt is wonderful - so patient with and kind to our dog, Sophie. He responded quickly to our request, is reliable and flexible. He listens to owners concerns and worked well with Sophie, even when she was leash aggressive. And when she was confused or didn’t want to walk, he’d patiently rub her head or belly and kept reassuring her. He went above and beyond for us and we would highly recommend. Thank you Matt!”
“Amy is a lifesaver! Great communicator and Ginger just loves her. Provided valuable peace of mind for my fur baby! Cute photos, on time! All the things you look for in a reliable Rover!”
About: I grew up with cats and dogs, and I've had my own cats for over a decade. I got my own dog 2 years ago. I'm working from home on Mondays and in the office on Tuesday and Wednesday. I can come home over lunch if boarding during the week. I have a fenced in yard and a great neighborhood for taking walks. I can provide a separate room for pets, as well as a crate, if needed.
“Audrey is amazing! She is a great communicator, flexible with my schedule changes and incredible with my pups. Thanks Audrey, you’ve been a life saver with all your help with Tuck and Desi :)”
“Sounds like our pup Sage had a great 1st visit with Bri! Bri took the time to come for a meet & greet the day before which was much appreciated, & then she sent great feedback/photos after the visit…we’re looking forward to her next visit & feel that Sage is in great hands :) Thanks Bri!”
“Analia did an excellent job with my dog. She was a great communicator, punctual, and attentive. Kiki loved walking with her and her dog. Thank you! Highly recommend!”
About: Hi, my name is Bryanna and I have had pets all my life. I grew up in a small rural town where my family had a farm so I learned general animal care from a young age! I have experience with dogs from as small as a Lhasa Apso to the giant Mastiff. I am an active person myself so walks and play time are also my favorite things (along with naps)! I currently work nights Tuesday to Staurday. I am able to hang out with your pups anytime before 5pm on workdays. I am also occasionally available after 5pm for a quick walk or drop in. I have off Sundays and Mondays and am very flexible those days. I am always very attentive to details given by pet parents to keep your furry friend safe. I will follow any routines or instructions and am very patient with your pups I will be sure to provide your pet with a safe and comfortable environment and treat them as if they were my own. Thanks for checking out my bio, I look forward to meeting your babies...and you of course!
“Tony was super friendly, had great communication and was awesome with our girls on their walks. Wrigley and Griffey were stoked when Tony came for their evening walks. My in-laws and my husband and I have nothing but great things to say about him! We will be using him again! Highly recommend!”
“Breanna sends great feedback and pictures during her time with our dog. Our dog has a lot of quirks and she seems very patient with him on their walks together. I highly recommend Breanna for all of your dog walking needs!”
“Lisa was wonderful with our timid rescue pup. She took the time to let our girl warm-up to her, and by the end of the week’s walks, she got a tail wag!”
“Sharron does a great job and communicates well with us on schedule adjustments. Fiona my Goodendoodle waits at the door for her to pull up to the house and is excited to see her every walk.”
Highland dog parents share their Rover experiences
Olivia helped me out at the last second and I would highly recommend her! She was very timely and followed all of my excessive little details (sorry!). I know my pup was in great hands with her. She even noticed, informed me of, and removed a potential hazard that I had missed before running out the door. I look forward to booking with her again.
I maybe have left a review before but what's the harm in another! My pup is a little bit of a nervous girl and Haley has been very patient with her. Haley takes great care of my pup during, before and after their walks! And the updates I get from Haley about my dog are great!
This is the first time that I have worked with Donna and will definitely call on her again to help with our crazy mutt. In our first meeting I felt confident that she was responsible and reliable. Communication and coordination with Donna went smoothly and I appreciated the photos and update.
My dog Libby just LOVES going for walks with Deanna! Deanna treats her like she is one of her own fur babies; she sends lots of pictures of their adventures out together and is very flexible with booking times. Libby and I are so happy we found such a great person to stand in for me!
I hired Madeline for several walks for my one year old golden retriever. She always showed up on time and wrote a detailed rover card. She was absolutely amazing caring for him and getting him out for walks. She was very thorough in his care, always refilling his water bowl and being conscientious of the hot temps outside. Would highly recommend. Thank you!!
This is our second time having Jacqueline take care of our pets. She is great with our older dog, Cruz, and is willing to adapt his walks to his needs. She also checked in on our cats, making sure they got some attention and had plenty of food. Jacque is our go-to Rover sitter when we need to be out of town!
