About: I’ve been caring for dogs for 13 years, ever since I got my own pup. I grew up helping friends and neighbors with their pets—walking, feeding, playing, and keeping them company while their owners were away. I truly love animals and treat every dog like my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether it’s a playful puppy or a senior dog that needs extra care, I’m attentive, patient, and always reliable. I’m a college student at USF, so I have classes Mondays and Wednesdays. However, my schedule is pretty flexible and I’m always open to working out the best way to take care of your pets! I’m very attentive and gentle with pets, always following your instructions. I make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for as if they were mine.
“Rena helped me out last minute when I needed a walker after a family emergency. She was quickly responsive and able to pick up the shift and I couldn’t have been more grateful!”
“Jackie was amazing to work with and gave my dogs so much love! I knew when they were with her they were happy and safe. My dogs are not always the easiest to handle and she was a total pro and knew exactly what to do to make them comfortable. She was super responsive and was able to provide care for my dogs right away and super easy to work with. I will definitely be using Jackie again in the future!”
“My wife and I met Lauriel only briefly to introduce our dogs and cover their specifics and immediately knew she would be a great fit.. We are very happy to have met Lauriel and are excited to have her continue to help take care of our boys... Thank you for all the you do! - highly recommended based on: patience, warmness, reliability”
About: I've spent my whole life with animals, from dogs and cat, to reptiles and rodents. I love them all. I've cared for a number of friends and families fur babies over the years. I am a reliable caregiver who treats every pet like my own. Whether your pup loves long adventures or slow sniff-filled strolls, I make sure they get the exercise, attention, and care they deserve. I've cared for senior dogs and have experience with basic medication administration. I work in a school, so I have my summer wide open to care for your pets while you're away! I can be extremely flexible as long as I have advanced notice of your needs! When with your pets, I will treat them as my own and make sure all of their needs are met. I will make sure to respect your home and leave it in the same or better condition as when you left!
“Deepthi was absolutely wonderful with my fur baby. She sent me frequent updates and pictures. My dog warmed to her very quickly. I would use Deepthi again as well as recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter. She was truly great.”
About: Dogs and puppies have always been a passion of mine! Growing up, I've been raised with two German Shepherds, and I've taken on responsibilities such as training my dog as a puppy, providing medical aid, walking dogs, and everything else that goes into being responsible for your furry best friend! I'm currently not working, and so my schedule is rather flexible! I have availability for dog-sitting and walking starting from 9am to 9pm throughout the week, all day every day! I currently don't have any pets in my home, and so I will be able to give your pet my full attention. I don't have a fenced yard, however there is a lovely walking trail nearby (5 min walk) that's about 2 miles long that I'd be able to walk your pet on! I have experience with reactive dogs when it comes to strangers and other dogs, and so I know how to maneuver myself out of a reactive situation. I can also easily crate your dog, if needed!
About: Hello! I’m Ashley, I’m a Licensed Veterinary Nurse in emergency medicine with over 10 years of experience caring for animals. I care for both dogs and cats. If you have exotics, I can care for them as well. I have experience working with animals of all ages, with a strong passion for senior care and supporting animals with special needs. Overnight Stays: Unless requested to stay full time in your home for house sitting, I do go home during the day to check on my animals, run errands, etc. My overnight hours are 5/6pm-8/9am unless otherwise discussed :) I work 3 nights a week at the ER, so my schedule is pretty flexible. If you are comfortable with your kiddos being home at night to sleep during times I work, that is an option. For smaller pets I can always make it so they can hangout with me at work. I offer pet sitting over nights, drop ins, and walks. I cannot currently board at my home since I have my own pets, but will do whatever I can to make sure your family pets are safe and happy while in my care!
“Olga is amazing! My pup absolutely loves her. She’s always on time, takes nice long walks, and sends great pics. Freya is always super happy when I get home—clearly well cared for—and it’s the perfect break from boredom on the days I’m at work. Highly recommend!”
About: I have babysat and dog sat since I was 12. I am patient with all dogs that I meet and strive to give them the best care possible. I will treat your dog the way you would treat them. I am currently home from college for the summer so I have a lot of free time. I am avaliable almost every day of the week. I am very respectful of both your space and your dogs space. I am able to walk dogs, play with or just check in on them throughout the day.
About: I’ve have owned a dog throughout my entire life. Ever since I was a kid, there was never a day a dog was not present inside my household. As of now, I take care of my 8 year old German shepherd as well as monitor my sisters 2 other dogs. I’m currently a full time college student studying Film! My schedule is very flexible and can adjust when needed. Weekdays are preferable but can as well do sit’s during the weekend! I live in a dog friendly apartment complex but I would be more comfortable dog sitting at the clients residence instead of my own complex
About: I pride myself on my strong sense of responsibility and scheduling discipline, meaning I will always be on time for walks and strictly follow your pet's specific care instructions. I love staying active and exercising, so your dog will get the perfect amount of outdoor fun, playtime, and fresh air. I treat every single pet as if they were a part of my own family, making sure they are completely safe and comfortable. You can count on me for regular updates, quick communication, and lots of love for your furry best friend! As a college student taking online classes this summer, my schedule is incredibly flexible. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because I have the freedom to manage my own time. I am a very physically active person who loves exercising and going on long walks. Since I live surrounded by beautiful green areas, I can easily incorporate energetic walks and outdoor playtime into my day, ensuring your pet gets the exercise and stimulation they need. Whether your pet needs early morning attention, midday visits, or evening companionship, my flexible schedule allows me to be there whenever they need me most. When caring for pets in a client's home, safety, trust, and strict adherence to routine are my top priorities. I am highly organized and disciplined, so I follow all feeding, medication, and cleaning instructions exactly as requested to maintain a stress-free environment. I make sure doors and windows are secure at all times, and I keep a close eye on the pet's body language to ensure they feel safe and comfortable. I love exploring the surrounding green trails for long, safe walks, always keeping dogs securely leashed. You will receive regular updates and photos, giving you total peace of mind knowing your home is respected and your pet is receiving dedicated, loving care.
About: I stand out because I’m not just experienced—I’m genuinely active and love spending time outdoors, which means your dog will get plenty of exercise and attention. I have several years of experience with both dogs and cats, and I’m comfortable with a range of personalities, from high-energy pups to more relaxed or shy pets. I also have a dog of my own, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I’m reliable, attentive to routines, and always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for like they’re my own. Pet care fits really well into my routine, especially during the summer. I teach yoga in the evenings, so I’m available and flexible throughout the day Monday through Friday for walks, drop-ins, or extended care. I enjoy staying active during the day, so dog walking is a great fit for me, and I’m able to give pets consistent attention, exercise, and care before my evening commitments. I prioritize safety, consistency, and making pets feel comfortable in any environment. In a client’s home, I stick closely to their pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, and any specific instructions. I always make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure and that pets are supervised during walks and playtime. I’m attentive to each pet’s behavior and needs, whether that means giving extra energy for active dogs or creating a calm, low-stress environment for more anxious pets. I also keep spaces clean and safe by removing any hazards and ensuring pets have access to fresh water and a comfortable place to rest. If I’m caring for pets in my own home, I provide a clean, safe, and pet-friendly environment where they’ll get plenty of attention, exercise, and supervision. Since I have a dog of my own, I’m very mindful about introductions and making sure all pets feel safe and comfortable.

About: Hello! My name is Michele and I would love to take care of your dog. I have grown up with dogs for most of my life. I love animals of all kinds, and I understand how important it is for your furry friend to be treated like one of the family. I work as a teacher full-time, but I can be available as early as 4 and as late as 10 or 11 during the school year to make sure your dog gets the care he or she needs. During the summer, I am free anytime! I would be happy to dog-sit, take walks and/or runs, and, of course, play with your dog! I’m also available for care on weekends! I will ensure that your dog gets the best possible care and endless amounts of playtime!

Kace did a great job as our dog walker. She communicated well throughout and followed all instructions exactly as given. She handled both of my dogs with no issues, including my larger pitbull, which I really appreciated. She also made sure they were fed, had fresh water, and were well taken care of. Everything went smoothly and I felt confident leaving them in her care. I would definitely recommend Kace for future walks.
Jackie is absolutely amazing! I was extremely nervous about using/trusting rover since it was my first time using any kind of dog walking app. We did a meet and greet and she was fantastic with my two elderly boys. She was extremely gentle and let them take their time to feel her out. She sent pics and a really detailed note when taking them for their walk, which made my day! She really eased my anxiety. Overall, a great person. So happy I found her!!
We had a wonderful experience with Alina. She’s professional, thorough and handled our dog Nitchky’s routine perfectly. We really appreciate the detailed report cards after each visit. She genuinely cares about the pets she’s watching. We will definitely be using her services again and highly recommend.
Arsh was great with Zaza! I could tell as soon as he walked in that he was kind and caring. Zaza took to him immediately. Because I live in a neighborhood with no sidewalks, so that dogs have to be walked on the street, I had a fairly long list of "rules" to follow in order to keep Zaza safe from vehicles (and actually having to think through these motivated me to up my own game). Also because of having to walk in the street, I asked him to wear several forms of LED lighting after dark. He immediately understood and each time he walked her, he made sure that all of these precautions were followed. He was on time for every walk and always very congenial. I absolutely would recommend Arsh as a dog walker.
Thank you so much for your flexibility & accommodating my last minute request before my trip! I truly felt no worries while you were walking them, and knew each day they would get their exercise and go to the bathroom on their walks which gave me such relief. Wonderful to work with, will absolutely book again in the future with Oriana!! She is the best and I could tell my dogs loved her and felt comfortable with her!
