“Kate made our first Rover experience amazing. Our dog was well taken care of with a great walk and feeding. The pics we got were super thoughtful and it was really comforting to see our pup so happy while we were gone. Highly recommend her and will be rebooking when needed! Thanks so much Kate!”
“Monique took excellent care of our pup! Her communication was excellent, and we came back to a very happy doggo (who without company is usually anxious when we return). Cannot recommend her highly enough.”
“Krista is incredibly reliable and considerate. She has been walking our pups 1-2 times weekly for 8 months now! Our whole zoo (2 dogs and 2 cats) feel safe with her, and look forward to their weekly head scratches, playtime, and treats with her. I appreciate that she pays special attention to each animal’s different personality and needs. Krista sends us updates on how the animals are acting and if she notices anything unusual. It’s especially reassuring since one of our dogs has high anxiety. I feel very comfortable knowing my animals are in great hands when I’m at work or out of town. 11/10 would recommend!!”
“Devinder has helped us a couple of times while we were on vacation. He is reliable and I feel that my doggies are well care for while I am away.”
About: I have always connected with animals! I've taken care of a variety of different pets: small to large dogs, cats, birds, and fish. I helped train my mom's standard poodle and frequently take him for walks. I regularly take care of a black lab that struggles with anxiety and have gained her trust! I also regularly have taken care of a friend's cat. I've been told by pet parents that I have a very calming energy, and it makes not only the animals trust me but also the pet parents! While I’m looking for full-time employment, I have lots of free time and am very flexible! Just let me know what your needs are and I’m happy to help! I live in an apartment building that is very pet-friendly. There is a fenced-in yard for potty breaks, and the neighborhood is also very walkable.
“Rachel was so amazing! She updated us and made us feel assured that our pets were in great hands while we were away. Absolutely would rebook!”
About: I grew up feeding both my mastiff mix Lilly and cat Kitty and walking Lilly daily. In college, I took care of a husky-mix, walking and feeding him daily. I’m currently working part-time so my schedule is pretty flexible! I am available for walks and feedings and can come check on your pet any time. I have experience with crate-training and know and will always strive to respect your personal house rules. I understand each and every pet parent has their own special relationship with their pets and I want to honor that as best as I can.
“Nevaeh was available and prompt! We were so happy to book with her and will be booking again :)”
“Sydney was awesome. Milo loved her! She kept us updated with tons of texts and pictures/videos during their playtime! She took great care of my boy”
“Kristen did a great job walking Bo this weekend. She communicated every time and even let me add on an extra day. We would definitely use her again!”
“Lierin is a life saver! We have a 3 yr old lab as well as a new puppy who she treats as if they are her own! We feel so much more comfortable while at work and she’s with them! We’ll definitely be booking her again!”
About: I have 10 years of experience pet-sitting for dogs of different breeds and personalities! I am passionate about providing pups with care, love, enrichment, and respect while their parents are away! Please consider me to take care of your baby while you are away! I primarily work from home so I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule. I am able to keep your baby company during the day while working and in the evenings. I am serious about keep your pet safe while you are away! Ensuring that their environment remains safe and calm for them to feel as comfortable as possible. I am willing to take your pet out as much as needed.
“Grace was great! She communicated with me every walk, kept the house locked up, and kept Bo in the kitchen as requested. We would definitely book with her again!”
“Kayley has been so patient and sweet to my Ellie, even when Ellie hasn’t been the sweetest to her. She makes sure the pups are as comfy and happy as can be!”
“Elizabeth is amazing with sunny, our Pomeranian. She gets him up and out of bed for his morning walk, and he can be grumpy to get up in the mornings. He likes her and doesn't bark as much as when other people come through the door. She's attentive to detail and so helpful. I fractured my ankle and she's helped sunny get in the morning walks he needs. Thank you so much!”
“Alyssa was wonderful. She's professional and skilled. She did the job as promised. It was great to know your pet is in good hands and I would hire her again 😊”
“Sierra walks our dog, Shockoe, 1-3 times a week and we absolutely love her! Sierra is a great communicator and has always been flexible as our days/times change weekly. She is great at listening to Shockoes wants for the day, whether that is taking a casual stroll, a big walk, or just needing some extra pets before walking. She goes above and beyond with pictures of each walk and making sure Shockoe has a water refill before leaving each day. Shockoe LOVES Sierra - they have created such a bond. I cannot recommend her highly enough!!!”
About: I have been pet sitting for many years.I work with a rescue fostering kittens & occasionally puppies so I’m constantly around animals. I live in a house with a decent sized backyard and plenty of space to run around. Your pet(s) will be going on many walks and playing until it's dark. I am extremely patient and willing to work with each and every need of your animal(s). My schedule is very flexible so I am able to work with changes when needed. Your pet will be in great hands as I will be taking extra perautions to make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I will make sure to write down and follow clear rules for do's and don't's for your babies. If I feel like something seems to be unusual with a pet I will immediately be contacting the owner and making a plan on what to further do. I am ready and excited to be spending time with your pets.
“Cindy was responsible and caring for our dog. She worked with us to support changes in the schedule and communicated clearly when this came up. She made appropriate decisions when hot weather became an issue. Highly recommend Cindy!”
“Keith did an amazing job! He communicated very well with me while watching my baby. He has the same dog breed as mines ( a mini schnauzer) and he walked them together which I think was really sweet since i mentioned I felt like my puppy needed more contact with other dogs. I will definitely be booking again ❤️”
