“Ana has been doing a great job walking Mabel and taking her to the dog park. She does a really good job, and we will continue to use her moving forward. Thanks Ana!”


“Dorothy is the best! I moved recently and needed someone right away for my fur baby. I appreciate how she communicates during her time with my dog. Dorothy is reliable and loves my chocolate Labrador Retriever. He loves her as well!”


“I feel confident leaving my dogs with Averi to walk, feed, and play with. She’s so communicative, responsive, and patient with my dogs. So happy to come back to happy pups!”


“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: I'm a certified veterinary assistant, and I’m currently in school to obtain my veterinary technician certification. I interned at a veterinary clinic for six months and have been working at a dog daycare and boarding facility for almost a year now. I work part-time. My shifts are either 6:30-1:30, 6:30-11:30, and 1:30-7, and on days I “double” I have a 2-hour break in between. Besides work, I am taking an online class for Vet Tech, so I can do it anywhere I need to. I have been around various breeds. I know the warning signs of when a pet is scared or not comfortable, and I always take my time with new fur friends.

About: I have a 55 lb loving soul named Penny. I love coming home from work and there she is, excited to greet me. Walking dogs is relaxing and a great bonding experience. Car rides and dog parks are just the best. I am currently a teacher in Charlotte, but will be pretty open once classes and graduation are over on June 14th. Except for one week in July when I will be on vacation, my schedule will be wide open until mid-August. Let me care for your pet while you relax! I have one dog and a semi-feral cat. My pets are a part of the family and are allowed on furniture and beds, and very much welcome to take naps with me! My pets are well-loved and I give them my full attention. I enjoy walking my dog as much as she does. I am not squeamish at all of picking up poo in a bag and carrying it back home. Litter boxes - part of my life since I was a small child. I have much experience in that department. I love cats and dogs!

“After using rover for the first time I loved michaela once I met her she is a very genuine and understanding person she always send pictures of my sweet pup couldn’t asked for a better sitter ! ❤️”



“Steve has been our Rover walker for 4 months... We are still very happy!! He is consistently reliable & trustworthy and has been able to squeeze us in last minute a couple of times. I love getting the pictures and updates midday And appreciate the extra care he gives to my senior dog. Thanks Steve!”


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.

“Nataly was so patient with Link when she stepped in on short notice to take him for a few walks during the day. She sat with him and made him feel comfortable until he felt ok and safe enough to walk on a leash with her. He can be shy and scared at first but he warmed up to her quickly and she was a great walker. Also gave his oral medication for him as well which I greatly appreciated! Would def recommend!”


“Minh was very responsive and reliable. She took time to review some training commands with Brandy, give her a great walk, and let her have some free time outside to decompress. She always made sure Brandy had water before leaving. She also comforted her and went out of her way to set Brandy up with a toy and treat to calm her anxiety. Our dog has some separation anxiety and knowing that she was in such great hands was so reassuring.”


About: About Me: I’ve had dogs for over 20 years - it’s their world, I’m just living in it! Every dog is like family to me. I’ve cared for working breeds, couch potatoes, and everything in between, and enjoy getting to know each dog’s quirks and personality. How I Work: I adjust to each dog’s needs, whether it’s long walks, fetch, or simply keeping them company. I’m calm, laidback, and respectful of their routines. I usually stick to morning and evening walks to avoid the heat, but I’m flexible based on your dog’s needs. My goal is always to help them feel safe, comfortable, and secure while you’re away. I have two working breeds at home, so daily exercise and structure are part of my rhythm. One’s basically a sled dog who always needs a job; the other doesn’t know where he is, who he is, or what a ball is. I’m used to balancing high energy with downtime and do my best to mirror your routine as closely as possible. Availability & Overnight Stays: I don’t live alone, so my dogs are well cared for when I’m away. For overnight stays, once I arrive, I’m settled in. I work from home as an illustrator, so I’m around all day and stay overnight. For longer stays (3+ nights), I’ll step out briefly to walk my dogs and run a quick errand, but otherwise I’m there around the clock. My dogs have never been left alone overnight or for more than a few hours, and I treat everyone’s dogs with the same care. Communication: I typically check in once or twice a day with updates and photos - more if your dog is being a cutie! I’m happy to adjust to whatever communication style works best for you. Just let me know. Experience With Special Needs: I’m experienced with administering oral medications, ear drops, topical treatments, and even inhalers for cats. I’m also planning to complete pet CPR/first aid certification. While I haven’t cared for senior pets before, I’m comfortable with mobility support, slower-paced walks, and extra patience. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions! I work from home and have a flexible schedule throughout the week. I can dog sit on weekends and can do some week days. I prefer at least a day in advance notice but can occasionally do last minute. I am comfortable pet sitting at your home and following whatever routine your pet is accustomed to. Unfortunately, I can’t offer boarding at my house at this time.

“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.”


“Very pleased with our experience with Aljenaye! We booked him last minute for just a walk and I’m very glad he was willing to jump in and help. I really appreciate how Aljenaye handled our situation given that our dog is not the best with strangers and I was briefly unavailable during the time he was with her. Will definitely be booking with him again!”


About: I have a huge respect for animals and all of their needs. I love and care for all animals no matter the breed or size. I have had dogs all of my life and love working and being around them!

Olivia even took her to the dog beach and pet stores to pick out new toys. I loved getting regular updates with pictures of their adventures. I’d definitely book her again if she didn’t move :(”
