“I am so grateful for the amazing care Caroline gave my dog! This was their first time meeting, and my dog absolutely loved her. Despite the tricky weather, she was incredibly patient, waiting for the rain to pass so she could still give my dog a proper walk. I truly appreciate how kind, sweet, and thoughtful she was throughout. I couldn’t be happier with my first experience on Rover .. we’ll definitely be booking with her again. Thank you so much!”


About: My entire life, I've been around animals of all sorts. From Small, loud, and feisty chihuahuas to big, stoic, and strong Pitbulls. I've owned cats, dogs, birds, and rabbits before and each one has only made my love and care of all animals grow each day. I'm available full time, 24/7 for whatever your pet needs may be. Any request you have, I can get it done and give your pet the love and care they deserve. I can give your pet as much (or as little) attention as they want and need. Walks, play, cuddles, or personal space. I'm also immune to the eyes by this point.

“Bianca has been great! She’s really reliable and great at communicating. We feel comfortable letting her into our home to walk our dog while we are at work and he loves seeing her.”


“Nechama is fantastic! She was on time. She follows instructions well and demonstrated care for Buddy. He came back happy from the walk. I strongly recommend Nechama and her dog walking services.”


“Andria has been so great with our puppy Sammie, which is not always easy because he’s still learning the ropes. He is always fully taken care of with her and we are so grateful to have found her! Thank you Andria!!!”



“Shivarah is unprecedented in professionalism, communication, and care. She is truly exceptional and such a find!! I come home to a very happy Roo, and trust her absolutely.”

From the start, I felt totally comfortable leaving them in her care. She sent me daily notes and photos, which really helped me relax and enjoy my time away. It was clear from the updates that she was giving them lots of attention and making sure they were well cared for—especially my senior cat, who needs a little extra TLC.
