“She is sooo amazing with my Prince Brodie. She keeps a calm sense about herself which in return keeps him calm. She is very knowledgeable about dogs which u will notice first time you meet her. She is to follow instructions and handle emergency situations with an ease. We are lifetime clients!”
“Karen did a wonderful job walking our dogs. We have one very high energy dog that can be difficult to walk until he releases energy and she handled him with such ease! Both of my dogs came back from each walk completely exhausted, it was perfect and exactly what we wanted! Karen was so lovely and we look forward to having her walk our dogs again!”
“Jada is the only person I trust to watch my pup. I was very nervous to leave him home as a 13 week old puppy; but I felt so much better knowing that Jada was taking care of him. She was very responsive to all of my requests and communicated with me throughout their walk. I could not recommend more!”
About: Happy New Year!!! I'm so excited to see what 2026 has in store for me and getting to know new furry friends! I am a dog lover and missing interactions with the furry ones! I currently was blessed with a stay-at-home job and would love the opportunity to take care of individual, pets when needed. I'm very flexible and have lots of availability throughout the day to walk, play, and cuddle with the dogs!! I currently work full-time but am remote and have a flexible schedule I can work around what you need! Your pets are always welcome in my home and will be spoiled!!!! I live in a gated community that is very safe. Your pets will never go outside without a leash on and there's lots of area to walk
About: Having multiple pets has been a part of my entire life, from the pets I had with my family to my own now. My first job ever was a professional care-taker at a boarding shelter for dogs. Now I walk and care for dogs part-time. My primary availability is during the week, with some weekend availability with enough advance. I work from home and am very flexible to accommodate changing schedules. I am comfortable crating your dog, taking them for walks, playing with them, providing basic care or anything else that you would like me to do for them.
About: I have only recently turned 19 so I don’t have much “official” care for animals and I understand if you do not choose me because of that but I have taken care of my neighbors and friends animals for years, working with puppies to elderly dogs in increments as short as an afternoon to even a month at a time. I have also fostered a couple of dogs my longest being a year, she was an amazing black mouth cur named Pepper and I kept her until she beat her heart-worm and found her forever home. I’d love the chance to provide the same care and attention to your pets! I’m currently in pilot school, I have 3 classes that are 3 hours each throughout the week, a part time job working at a restaurant, as well as a couple of flights a week, so I have plenty of available time. I am very flexible to any rules you may have set for your pets and can adjust so that you do not have to worry about you furry friend in my care.
“Jenna does such an incredible job with my pup butts. I am so grateful for Jenna’s patience when I made a mistake to the schedule. 15/10 would recommend as my pups love her and she always does a phenomenal job communicating with me.”
About: As a toddler until I was 10, we had dacshaunds. I loved them so but when you discover them after they have passed, it leaves an impression on you. I've lived with Doberman-Rottweilers, smaller schnauzers and pet most every pup I see with permission, of course. I would love to visit with the dogs if my community. I work virtually 4 days a week and have a lot of flexibility. This allows me the ability to watch pets, and care for my own. I have 4 indoor cats and a myriad of outdoor cats. I play with them, feed them and provide then with their favorite snacks: Churus. Cleaning up the box during each visit is a given considering cats need a neat space. For dogs, I would make sure to have bags to get their waste and keep snacks to make sure their given something for good behavior.
About: I have carted for my two miniature poodles my whole life, they often get to go on walks, get pup cups, and always get lots of attention I am a college student athlete so some days are more free then others, most weekends are free as well as weekdays in the off season I will care for animals in others homes as they tell me to, keeping the animals on a consistent schedule, with plenty of time for playing and relaxing
About: I’ve had dogs most of life since I was 10 but sadly am without a dog right now so looking to help others with their dogs. Have had small dogs (Boston terrier and French Bulldog) to big dogs (German Shepherd). I am currently a student and only have to be in class less than 3 hours a day so am able to help out other dog owners. I live in apartment that has a small dog park so I am able to take dogs on leashed and unleashed adventures depending on the request.
About: I love all animals. I lost my bull mastif/lab mix, Honey Bear, in February 2018. She was 12 1/2 yo. As well as my tabby, Eli, who was 19y/o, in March 2020. I am not ready for a new pupor kitten, so I thought this would provide an avenue to express my love for animals as well as help others. One of my favorites is dog walking. Because I work from home I am able to invest more outdoor activities for your furbabies. I do not have a fenced yard, however I am close to areas that can accomodate. I am very attentive and experienced to handling larger dog breeds and cats. If you are looking for someome that will love your pets as her own, please contact me. I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you in advance for your consideration!
About: We have had dogs for most of our life, we are away from our lovely dogs so we will take care of your pets as if they were ours! We love pets more than we love people! Currently working from home and new to town, so we both have lots of free time to dedicate to your lovely pets and give them all the scratches, head pats and treats. We will treat your pets as our own, we miss them a lot so a lot of cuddles are in order! The apartment has a closed balcony with mosquito net, there's a lot of green areas to walk around and we love walking to get to know the neighborhood.
About: Animal lover who had a rescue dog of her own! Experienced with dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and fish. Highly recommended by neighbors to walk, feed, and play with pets. Plenty of practice cleaning crates, litterboxes, and cages. Afternoons and evenings work best for me but I am available all day during the summer! During the school year, weekends and evenings will be my main availability. I have no pets and currently live in a second floor apartment. There is plenty of green space for walking but no off-leash areas. I have not had a pet of my own in a few years so I am not well equipped for a pet in my apartment, but I have a car and can easily travel to you.
“Katie is amazing!! She handled my pups with care and leaves detailed reviews and good pics. She took them for good walks the past two days and gave them snacks afterwards. 10/10 would recommend her!”
About: I don't have any professional experience with looking after pets but i have looked after a few pets and ever since my pet dog i never got a pet after that this is why i would like to use this as opportunity to help others out with their pets and also to help me gain more experience with looking after them i love animals of all sorts . i currently work a semi flexible part time job and on my off days i would like to do this as a side gig to be able to earn a little extra money i am flexible with things for the most part as long as it is not short notice . I care for pets in my house by playing with them taking them for a walk in my neighborhood giving them snacks and food and giving them attention .
About: I love to walk and your dog will love walking with me! I am conscientious and courteous. Safety first and always scoop the poop! I am a passionate and empathetic dog guardian! I have worked at a well known (SPCA) vet clinic located in southern Virginia. While there I managed a staff of ten and helped transform their low cost spay and neuter facility of 500 patients to a full service clinic of over 10,000. I recently moved to Georgia and am excited to start volunteering at the local animal shelter. Sadly my dog passed away in 2019, and I have yet to bring home another angel. That's one of the reasons I love Rovering! It's like being a dog grandmother - I get to spoil them to pieces! My motto is safety first, then nothing but fun! I enjoy taking care of all dogs, but there is a special place in my heart for the oldies but goodies. I work remotely so watching your boo is part of my favorite job! I am at home throughout the day and am focused on your boo. In my home safety is always my number one priority. I make sure to keep and clean and tidy space. Water will always be fresh and topped off. The floor and counters are free from things your boo can get into. Rules stay the same as if your boo was at home.
“Cassie is awesome! My dog loves her, and she clearly enjoys being around animals. She is great at communicating and updating us. We will definitely be using her for a long time!”
About: I have fostered cats and kittens for approximately ten years, and know the commitment, awareness, and love it takes to connect with animals of all personality types. I have two cats of my own that were foster-fails, so I am very well versed in the needs of all different kinds of cats, and I will apply the same loving care and attention I provide to my own to your pets. I am extremely aware and will always focus on the safety of your pet. I grew up with two dogs as well, and have plenty of personal experience caring for dogs. I grew up pet sitting and dog walking for neighbors on top of my own dogs. I truly love animals, and want to spend my free time taking care of them. You can trust me with your cats and dogs! I'm currently working part-time, so when I am not doing that I have plenty of time to spare taking care of your pets! I am available on weekends, after work, and the weekdays I am not working. I will be respectful of your home and your pets, always! You can trust me to know that your home and animals are left in safe and trusting care.
“I hired Jess to walk my two dogs, and she was wonderful! She even made the effort to come meet them ahead of time when my husband was home, which I really appreciated. The pups took to her right away. She showed up on time for both walks, sent photos, and made sure they had plenty of water afterward. Her communication was excellent throughout the entire process. I would definitely hire her again!”

Amazing dog walker. She got my very stubborn dog to actually walk which was a miracle and made sure they were completely safe and taken care of. It’s always scary letting someone take care of your furbabies for the first time and she made me feel so comfortably and at ease! Will definitely use her again.

Teddy is wonderful with my pup, Lucy. She always gets so excited to see him and really enjoys their walks and playing fetch. Teddy is super punctual, always on time and prepared with leashes and bags. I know Lucy is in good hands when they go on their adventures.
Steven was an absolute joy to work with today and absolutely LOVED on our dogs Scout and Seven. Very professional, reminded me i needed poop bags (just moved into a new neighborhood), and knew just how to handle our dogs untrained behavior. Poor Seven got pooped about 15 min in and Steven even just carried him home. We have fallen in love and DEFINITELY will be using Steven again!
Shira is an absolute gem! She has been walking my dog regularly, and I couldn’t be more grateful for her care, reliability, and professionalism. From day one, it was clear how much she truly loves animals—my dog took to her instantly, which is rare! Shira is always punctual, communicative, and goes above and beyond. Whether it’s a last-minute schedule change or an extra-long walk on a sunny day, she’s flexible and kind. I also really appreciate the updates and photos she sends after each walk—it gives me such peace of mind. Most importantly, my dog comes home happy and well-exercised, which says it all. I trust Shira completely and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible, loving, and dependable dog walker. She’s the best!
