About: We had a Shih Tzu for 4 or 5 years her name was Nyla and she was apart of the family and we loved her I'm looking for a something to do with not working at this time, I am trying to get in shape as well and this would help I live in an apartment but it's pet friendly here with bags to clean up behind them and a dog park so they can exercise

“Mirella is great! She’s quick to respond and communicates her availability! Highly recommend and will continue to book her for my sweet Bubba!”

Candace W.

“Ashley has been great!! Always on time for walks and not fearful of our pup who can be barky with new people. Definitely recommend.”

“Trent is absolutely wonderful. He made going away for a weekend without our two large dogs stress free. Trent gave us detailed messages about how each of their walks went, followed all of our guidelines and it was easy to tell our dogs trusted him and enjoyed his company. He handled our reactive 80lbs dog with grace and ease. We would recommend him to anybody! One of the most reliable and easy experiences we’ve had with someone else caring for our pups. 10/10 would recommend!”

“Isabelle walks my goldendoodle furchild every day and she’s such an important part of Maya’s life. To start, she’s super communicative and reliable, which makes it really easy to plan and coordinate walks and dogcare with her. She was also great about learning what behaviors we try to reinforce, Maya’s habits and routines and what Maya eats, which gives me the warm and fuzzies that as a parent, aunt Isabelle is staying consistent with dad’s rules. Isabelle is so great with dogs and has good judgment generally; seeing how she interacts with Maya and hearing her describe how Maya did on a given walk, I trust her implicitly. Lately she’s been really helpful in figuring out fun new walking routes or destinations that cater to Maya’s interests and mood and energy level. Yep Isabelle is a wonderful dog “auntie” and just a delightful human being. I don’t know what her advertised rates are on here, but you should pay them and then some. Isabelle, get after it girl. Charge people what you’re worth! ?”

About: Keith & Jess have been married for 15 years and each have over 25+ years experience owning and caring for dogs. They were the proud owners of a Beagle/Spaniel mix for 19 years, gaining experience in elder dog care in the process. Currently our travel schedules don’t allow for full time ownership but we’d love to care for your pup whenever we can! We currently both work from our home during the week, allowing for frequent walks and attention. Your pup will never be left alone for long stretches! There are no other pets in the home. The backyard is not fenced but backs up to a wooded nature preserve. The walking trails that go thru the woods make for great dog walking routes!

About: Your Pet Deserves to Feel at Home 🐾❤️ ⭐ Proud Rover Star Sitter I’m a passionate and responsible pet sitter, and I’m truly grateful for the trust families place in me. To me, caring for a dog means more than simply feeding them and taking them for walks. It means getting to know them, respecting their personality, and helping them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. 🐶 Real Experience & A True Love for Dogs My experience with dogs began many years ago in Colombia, where I cared for my own three dogs: an energetic Pitbull and two Cocker Spaniels with very different personalities. They taught me something I believe is very important: every dog is unique. Some dogs need plenty of exercise and play, while others need calm, patience, and extra affection. Some are social from the very beginning, while others need a little time to feel comfortable and build trust. I take the time to understand each pet and follow their family’s instructions carefully. When your dog is with me, I want them to feel like they are in a safe and loving home. ❤️ 🏡 A Loving Home with Plenty of Companionship I work together with my husband, Carlos, which allows us to provide pets with plenty of companionship and attention during their stay. We enjoy maintaining a calm routine and following each family’s instructions so their pet can settle in comfortably. Your dog won’t simply be “another pet” during their stay — they will be part of our family while they are with us. 🐾 🚗 Convenient Door-to-Door Pickup & Drop-Off To make things easier for you, I also offer door-to-door pickup and drop-off for daycare and boarding stays, depending on my service area. I understand that between work, family, and everyday responsibilities, taking your pet to and from daycare or boarding can be difficult. I want to make the process as convenient as possible for you. 📸 Communication You Can Count On I know that leaving your pet with someone else can sometimes be stressful. That’s why I believe communication is so important. During your pet’s stay, I’m happy to send you photos, videos, and updates, so you can see how your companion is doing and have peace of mind knowing they are well cared for. I carefully follow your instructions regarding meals, walks, schedules, playtime, and any special needs your pet may have. ❤️ My Commitment to You My goal isn’t simply to care for your dog for a few hours or a few days. I want you to come back and find your pet happy, comfortable, and well cared for. The trust of every family means so much to me, and I’m proud to provide care based on love, responsibility, communication, and respect for every pet’s individual needs. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family member! 🐶❤️ Pet care is an important part of my daily routine. I plan my schedule around the pets in my care so they receive plenty of attention, companionship, walks, playtime, and rest throughout the day. I enjoy having a consistent routine because it helps pets feel comfortable and secure while they are away from home. I also make sure to follow each pet’s individual feeding, walking, and medication schedule according to their owner’s instructions. I’m flexible and happy to communicate with pet parents about their pet’s specific routine and needs before their stay. In my home, I provide a clean, calm, and safe environment where pets can feel comfortable and receive plenty of attention and companionship. Before each stay, I like to learn about your pet’s routine, personality, and specific needs so I can provide the best possible care. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, schedules, and any special needs. I also pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and comfort level so they can adjust to our home at their own pace. During walks, I always prioritize safety and use appropriate precautions to keep each dog secure and under control. I also believe communication is very important. I’m happy to send photos, videos, and updates throughout your pet’s stay so you can have peace of mind. My goal is for every pet to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and treated with the same care and respect they would receive in their own home. 🐾❤️

“Kimberly is a great match for me and my pup! She is very experienced with animals and dogs. She is reliable, responsive, and dedicated to her work. I can relax knowing he is safe and happy with her. Also, she is great at being flexible when the rover app occasionally glitches and always makes sure I know what Jett is up to.”

“We’re so happy to have found Matthew! He visits and walks our dog on a weekly schedule, and he’s always prompt, considerate, and very easy to coordinate with. He’s also clearly very skilled at understanding dogs, reading their queues, and adjusting to make sure they’re comfortable. Our pup definitely looks forward to his visits, and we know he’s in great hands. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve always loved dogs and have experience caring for multiple family members’ pups. I’m excited to meet new furry friends and give them the same love, attention, walks, and cuddles I’d give theirs! I’m reliable, patient, and happy to follow your pet’s routine so they feel comfy! I work a split shift and work from 645am-11am and have free time until 230 when I go back to work. I get off around 6pm and would be happy to help after work as well! Weekends I'm typically off and pretty flexible. :) When caring for your pets in your home, I’ll make sure to follow their usual routines and meet both their needs and your expectations. I’ll treat your home and pets with the same care and respect I’d want for my own, while keeping you updated along the way.

“Our pup loves Landrum! He’s punctual, communicative, friendly, professional and FUN! Thanks for the walks in May!”

“Selina has been fantastic with my dog, Milo. He’s a big dog and can be a little tuggy on walks, but she handled him with confidence and always made his safety and comfort her top priority. She went above and beyond by making sure he always had food, water, and treats after his walks, and she sent tons of updates, photos, and videos that gave me so much peace of mind throughout the day. She’s also incredibly flexible and easy to work with, which made everything seamless. You can tell she genuinely loves dogs and treats every one of them like her own. I trust her completely with Milo, and I can’t recommend her enough.”
