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!

Veronica has been great with our energetic dog, Heidi. Veronica is very easy to communicate with, she obviously cares a lot about our dog's wellbeing and happiness, and she seems to engage very well with Heidi who needs a little extra coaching on walks.

About: Since a child I had a love and passion for all animals. Neighbors , friends and family members have relied on me to walk and watch their fur babies while they were away or just to come over to spend time. I find joy caring and loving all animals . The same way your fur baby will bring me joy my duty is to always make your fur baby feel safe and comfortable your fur baby will always have a good time with me and will come home happy. “Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawakened.”By anonymous I work from home twice a week and have alot of flexibility. It is a great way to get out the house and exercise while having fun a loving time with a fur baby . I accommodate your pet surroundings and where the caregivers feel is most comfortable for their pet throughout their home or in the community . I meet your fur baby where they are with their comfortability .I am very flexible and understanding to all situations .I adjust to the pet comfortability and their surroundings that make sure they feel safe.

About: I have cared for other people's dogs--roommates, friends, neighbors--since childhood, many decades! I've lived with cats, dogs and birds. I said goodbye to my rescue Westie of almost 17 years during 2025, and I’m not ready for another long-term pet commitment yet. I puppy trained her (with trainer) from 4 months and provided senior care for the last few years. I am very patient when meeting new animal souls, allowing them to come to me when they’re ready. I have been taking shelter dogs on Afternoon Adventures and have been successful with helping to train dogs in my care. I am working part time and have a flexible schedule, and now that I'm pet-less, I am available, even on short notice. I have been going on walks/hikes in our beautiful parks (over 2 miles) and would prefer some four-legged company. I am very good at following your instructions, respectful of routines and choices you make, and sensitive to furry companions' needs. I'll send you lots of pics! I will board low-maintenance/energy pets in my home, not puppies or kittens.

About: I’ve cared for family pets for years, primarily cats, and am comfortable with feeding schedules, litter care, playtime, and providing attentive companionship. I also love dogs and previously volunteered at a dog shelter from 7th grade through the end of high school, where I helped with daily care, socialization, and maintaining a safe, clean environment. I currently take classes 3 days a week so I have plenty of time to take care of your animals! I’m available all day on Tuesdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays I provide attentive and loving care for pets both in my home and in a client’s home. I follow all feeding instructions, maintain clean litter boxes or designated areas, and give plenty of playtime and companionship. I’m comfortable administering medication when needed and providing special care for senior or shy pets. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and happy, whether it’s cuddle time, walks, or engaging play.

I had Taylor come walk our dog, Lola, and from the moment they met, Lola gravitated toward her. She immediately felt Taylor’s calm, kind energy , she’s soft-spoken, gentle, and very easy-going. By the time Taylor left, Lola was giving her hugs and kisses! It went so well that I booked her again the very next day for an earlier walk. Taylor was on time, super communicative, and Lola actually cried with excitement when she saw her again. We’re so happy to have potentially found our go-to dog walker!
