“Payton was lovely with our girls! I really appreciated her calm demeanor and getting updates from her about the pups on their walks. I would definitely ask Payton to help us out again!”


“Erika was great!! She took the initiative to reach out and meet my babies prior to the scheduled walk (which I really appreciate). The pups loved her and were happy to spend time with her. Erika did an amazing job of providing me with a detailed summary of how their walks went, which was great! I will definitely be using her in the future.”

About: With years of experience in private and public pet boarding, I strive to uphold YOUR standard of love and care for your furry family member(s) while you’re away. While working part time at a daycare, coming home to care for my furry family members is a full time job. Although no two pets are the exact same in their care, I can assist in helping them stick to their regular routines while you’re away. Caring for pets in a clients home will be done in the same manner as they care for them while they are home. I intend to maintain regular boundaries and be consistent with rules that have already been implemented.

“Louise is great! She takes extra care of our 60 lb pit /lab mix puppy. She is very knowledgeable of animal care and its very cognizant of individual pet needs. She’ll send you photos/videos of your pet upon request. Will be booking again soon!”



“I know Maisey always loves her walks with Teri! This one is for September 26th and October 2nd! She helps so much when I start my busy time of the year.”



“James was engaged with our pet and respective of his space. He gave him a good hardy walk. James also introduced himself to us and our pet a few days prior to the official “walk”. I felt this was an ideal way to treat our pet and our feelings. I would suggest James to walk any of my friends and family’s pets. James is friendly, respectful, caring, and genuine. A person would be making the right choice in picking James to care/walk your pet!”


“Great communication, very patient with my dogs who are weary of new people. I will definitely book her again when needed!”

About: Hello there! My name is Josh, and I’m an enthusiastic dog caretaker who would love the chance to take care of your dog. At first glance, you might be unsure if this guy who looks like a pirate can reliably care for your furry friend. Rest assured, I am dedicated to meeting your dog’s needs in a safe and fun environment. I will ensure that your dog feels loved and happy. I prioritize open communication with pet owners to build trust. A little background about me: I currently have a rare brain tumor that makes it difficult for me to hold a regular job. The tumor is stable and only affects my vision in my left eye. I hope that with treatment, I will soon overcome this health challenge so I can return to school to become an MRI technician. In the meantime, I’m happy to work with Rover to save up for that goal. Taking care of your pets would mean a lot to me and would help me progress toward my aspirations. I promise to go above and beyond in my service to show my appreciation. I also have a well-behaved Belgian Malinois named Nezuko, who gets along with all dogs. If you’d like, we can arrange a meet-and-greet beforehand—I’d be happy to do so. If you'd like to see my pup, you can check out her Instagram: @just_nezuko_ig. Thank you for reading, and I hope to meet you and your furry friend soon! I am on permanent disability so i am available at all times. I am still very active and I walk my own dog 3-4 miles a day. I have a huge park across the street that I take my dog to every day. If your dog is not good off-leash, I have a 50 ft leash they can use if they have a compatible vest. My dog is very friendly and loves playing with other dogs. She does get very excited when she sees new dogs and people, but I've never seen her be aggressive with any dog or person.

About: I have had 6 dogs that I have raised since I was a child. I also used to have my own dog walking business as a teenager. I am available all the time for the most part! I have experience with big dog breeds and dogs that are very aggressive with other dogs. I have a fenced yard and a big back yard! I have my beautiful little girl esther my puppy and 2 little cats I just adore.

“Raquel was a real treat to meet! She was great with my dog, Molly and was patient with my constant scheduling modifications. Raquel is very punctual with the times I selected and walks through the door at that time. Not a moment to soon or a moment too late. I am very pleased with Raquel's professionalism. I have found Molly's walker!”

I strive to keep your pets routine and make sure they are comfortable and happy. I'm here to communicate with you and commit to you and your pets. I see myself as a form of extended family, as such I genuinely care and provide quality care. I had owners that needed me to care for special needs and request one on one care or special needs can be accommodated sometimes with additional fees but most often with the regular rates. I am able to do introductions with other animals or keep separate depending on pets temperament and owner preferences. I've taken care of pets, including my own since I was a young child. I have cared for all types of pets including cats, dogs (of all sizes) and other animals. I have experience with senior animals and puppies and have pet sat, been a dog owner and fostered. I have experience with multiple breeds and we prefer to make your pet feel at home as much as possible, so you can be at ease while away.

About: I’ve had to maintain many accidental litters at my grandparents house. This involved cleaning up, caring for, and training the pets they decided to keep. I take care of all of the animals in my house, and accommodate accordingly!! I am finding something to do before I go to college. As my college journey starts I need to save as much as possible, and am willing to work whenever necessary!! I make sure that my dog, who is an English Bulldog, has his medication and is clean in all of his cute little rolls. I have to watch for any allergic reactions he may have, and I keep away from certain foods. Having a dog with many health issues has prepared me for anything that’s coming my way.

About: Since I was in middle school, I’ve always been around dogs. I’ve had 5 of my own and I’ve taken care of other peoples pets. Whether it be a dog, cat, fish, etc. I love animals and playing with them and taking them on walks, bathing them, brushing them and everything in between! I still have 2/5 dogs (the other 3 have passed the rainbow bridge) and I own a cat. So I am always feeding, playing, and taking care of my pets. They’re my world and I’ll never give them anything but the very best. As will I treat your pets! I do have a cat who is not friendly with dogs so I’m more than willing to dog sit at the clients house. Do check ins, feed, walk and bathe the dog. As well as doing any light cleaning around the house! I try to help as much as I can and your fur babies are my priority, just like mine are!

“When I'm away Chelsea takes great care of my two dogs. My fur babies are very energetic and love to play. They both gravitated to Chelsea very quickly and they get very excited when she comes to my house. She ensures they get their daily snacks and extra belly rubs along with walks or runs. Whether it's for an hour or all day care, the fur babies we love will be in great care with Chelsea.”
