“Michaela did a great job with Sophie! She was so easy to communicate with! I felt so comfortable having Michaela take care of Sophie. She took great care of her, was reliable, and took the cutest pics! Can’t wait to have her take care of Sophie again!”
“Kortney has been great taking care of my Benji. She is reliable and very accommodating to last minute changes in my work schedule. I would definitely recommend her services.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs since the age of two and grown an attachment with them ever since. Since entering my adult years I’ve had two dogs in the span of 5 years. I’ve also cared for my mother’s two cats within that span. I work overnight so anytime during the day would be filled with care, walks, playtime, and love. I’m flexible especially over the summer time for whichever services are needed. I live in a quiet neighborhood with plenty of walking space and not too far from the dog park if need be. I also can provide a medium sized crate.
“Just one week into having Max (and his fiancé) take care of my two dogs and I’m already so impressed. Max and Jen took the time to get to know my dogs and asked tons of questions prior to starting weekly walks. They are both incredibly communicative and timely, send pictures and updates for each walk, and have been extremely patient with my female pup, who can be shy around new people. I will definitely turn to Max and Jen for any future dog sitting needs!”
About: Hi! I took care of my fur daughter her whole life since she was a puppy until her senior years. She passed away last year during her sleep. She was about 17 yrs old. Also, I’ve taken care of my cousins and friend’s dog every time they travel. I have plenty of experience and enjoy playing with dogs. I will treat your dog as if it was mine. I’m available after 6 pm during Monday tru Friday for home visits. On weekends, I can be available at any time during the day for pet sitting. I have a fenced backward with plenty of space for the dog to run and play. I have a medium size cage in case is needed.
“Thank you Rover for an amazing walker and wonderful gentleman. My Bella and Stormi enjoyed their walk and I’m so excited to have found someone I can’t trust with my fur babies???. You’re AWESOME Marcus!”
“Nataly was so great with our puppy! He’s been a little mischievous and escaping from his crate and Nataly was so accommodating! Very grateful to have her to give him some exercise”
“We have booked Emily twice now. Once to house sit our dog for a weekend trip and the second time we needed her to come walk our dog during lunch for a week while my husband was away for work. She even did a little meet and greet with us before our weekend trip to get to know our dog and how to get into our apartment. She does an amazing job! She’s taken Cali on runs with her, always sends pictures and shows up on time. We definitely trust her taking care of our pup and would recommend her to watch your dog!”
About: I’ve raised five rescue dogs and two rescue cats over the years. I currently have two pups: my Lola, a working breed with many VERY important jobs that the future of this country depends on (if you ask her) and Linus, my funemployed couch potato. My dogs are my life and they’re spoiled for it is their God-given right. I extend that same God-given right to every pet I care for :) They deserve the best in life! They’ll get as much walking, snuggling, fetch, or enrichment if they need their minds kept busy. I also sing opera and jazz to them but will stop if they tell me to 🙂↕️ I’ve worked with all kinds of dogs: high energy herding/working breeds, snuggly companion breeds, 70 lb lapdogs, dogs with separation anxiety, dogs with eccentricities that we don’t judge - this is a safe space. I’ve watched so many dogs that make me crack up with their antics. I’m also a big cat lover. I have experience with social cats who need to help out when I’m doing yoga or cooking or just want to snuggle and watch movies. I also have experience with divas and independent cats who lurk and come out when and if they feel like it. I know it can be tough when you’re away from your pets, so I do everything I can to keep their routines consistent and comforting. On the first day of a house sit, I’ll usually work a half day so I can spend extra time helping them settle in or get their new person excitement out. After that, I work a flexible 9-5ish from your home, so they’ll have plenty of company throughout the day. I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I leave to walk my dogs and run errands but aside from that I’m with your pets. I prefer at least a couple days notice but can occasionally do last minute so don’t be afraid to ask! I’m comfortable pet sitting at your home and will follow the routine your pet is used to. Unfortunately, I can’t offer boarding at my house.
“Keegan is great! She really cares about the dogs and their personalities. She notices the details about their behavior and knows how best to engage with them. Both times she spent the full 30 or 60 minutes with my dogs. She sent lots of pictures and notes about how things went. Best experience with rover so far.”
“Dominique was great with my dogs. I was out of town for 4 days and she was sure to keep in communication if I had any questions or needed anything. I definitely plan on using her again when I travel again. I highly recommend her.”
“Tara was so great with our 10 week old puppy, Liberty! She was available last minute, was super responsive, and sent so many pictures! I am so happy we were able to find Tara and look forward to booking her in the future! It is a great feeling knowing Liberty is being so well taken care of while we are away! Thanks for everything, Tara!”
“Averi is always reliable and quick to respond. She only had to cancel one time with us as she was attacked by another dog and needed to tend to her own health. She let us know as soon as it happened that she needed to cancel so we could rearrange.”
About: My pet care experience started at a young age with a house full of kittens and cats then eventually 2 dogs. In my adult years I have had 2 dogs personally. I have also been a foster parent for the local animal shelter for 3 years. I am well versed in training dogs, puppy socialization, and bathing all animals. I work from home full time with a flexible schedule. I never have to go into an office. Potty breaks are every 2 hours and walks are often! I have a dog park in the backyard of my residence. I live in a lovely neighborhood good for walks. I can also provide a small crate for small dogs or a separate room if ever needed.
About: I love animals and look forward to meeting your pet! Over the years, I've had several regular dog walking and sitting clients. I work from home, so I can be available to your dog all day. I would love to walk your dog or spend plenty of time with them in my fenced in yard. We have a quiet neighborhood with sidewalks to go for several daily walks. I am very detail-oriented and would care for your pet like my own. For boarding in my home, please note that I have a 12lb schnauzer mix named Teddy. He loves other dogs and gets along with them in our home. He is a rescue, so he's still warming up to human guests and may be crated during your meet & greet. I work from home, so I’m available to spend all day with your dog. I walk Teddy out between 8-9am to start the morning. I then let him out again around noon for a fetch break, and again in the evening for more fetch and a walk. I can be flexible on walks and outdoor time due to working from home. I care for each dog like my own! I keep a tidy home and have plenty of space in a fenced in back yard. Dogs must be housebroken to stay at my house, although I understand accidents happen. I prefer dogs that are crate trained, but will make an exception for well-behaved dogs. I cannot accommodate dogs who become destructive when left alone for brief periods.
“Macy has been a GREAT dog walker for me this week! She consistently walks a mile+ in the 30 minute bookings and gives my girl so much love! I will definitely be reaching back out to her with my future dog walking needs.”
“They were amazing with Colby & even gave my cat some love also! They are very communicative & made it very easy to trust them, highly recommend!”
About: Not only am I a mother of three beautiful boys and one spunky girl, but I am also a loving mother to an amazing dog and cat. I've owned animals since I can even remember, and when they are in my care, I believe it's the best. Why? Because they get all of the interaction they need from playing ball to relaxing and being pet. I hope that you choose me to care for your important babies because that's what they are, important! Everyone deserves to be taken care of and loved the right way. I hope to see you soon and to be able to help with your pups and give the care that will be needed. Hello, I am currently working full time, however, I am working towards making this my full time job. Book me so I can be home full time! I care for pets by making sure they don't get into things they aren't supposed to. I let the dogs eat and run as much as they want. Then we rest for a little while.

Hanna Rose was so accommodating in confirming a couple of last minute walks for Molly. Molly can be a high-energy pup, but Hanna Rose handled her with ease and was so open to following her more structured routine. I really appreciated her flexibility and care, and I look forward to booking more walks and stays with her soon!
Priya was prompt, friendly, and did a great job walking my Blaze. The first day was interesting as Blaze constantly escaped her collar and running back to the house. By the second day Blaze was excited to see her and kept looking out the window when she left. I would recommend her for anyone who needs a good walker.
I cannot recommend Valentina enough! She is an absolute gem when it comes to caring for dogs. From the very first meet-and-greet, she put so much effort into getting acquainted with my Pomeranian, Lua, who can be a little nervous around new people. Her patience and gentle approach made all the difference, and it was clear from the start that she has a deep love and understanding of dogs. Throughout the entire process, she was incredibly attentive, ensuring Lua felt comfortable and safe. She took her time, never rushed, and truly went above and beyond to build trust. It’s rare to find someone so dedicated and passionate, and I could immediately tell she’s both knowledgeable and experienced. Lua came back happy and relaxed after her walk, which speaks volumes about the care and attention she received. I’m so excited to continue using her services, and if I could recommend her a million times, I absolutely would! If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog like their own, look no further.
Marcus Walker is definitely the excellence of dog care. He is reliable and punctual by consistently arriving on time for walks and was dependable even in bad weather. He had great communication skills and sent regular updates, photos, or short videos of the walk to reassure me that my dog was doing great! He quickly adapted to Bentley's personality and walking habits and adjusted accordingly. Marcus showed genuine affection and provided the necessary attention to my dogand he was very accommodating for my last-minute changes to schedules. Marcus is the epitome of professionalism and I highly recommend him for all your fur babies needs.
