“Michelle is extremely professional and my dog warmed up to her almost instantly. Although my dog was a bit excited in the beginning, jumping on her, Michelle kept her cool and they had a great walk together! If you want your pet to be treated like family, Michelle is your go to person! Passionate about dogs and a true animal lover! Thanks Michelle!”

“Leah is fabulous dog walker. I felt very confident leaving our dog in her care while we were away. She was thorough, caring, and kind. She always sent us detailed reports, along with pictures of our dog’s progress.”

“Karen was a great dog walker. We had our initial meet and greet with her and she was very understanding with how our dogs were with new people. She was very patient and kind with them. I loved the updates with photos she put on their report card, I could see that they were being well taken care of. She would keep me updated when I needed to refill their doggy bags. My dogs quickly liked her and would patiently wait by the door for her to come. As an anxious dog mom, I was able to trust her completely. I would highly recommend Karen for any pet needs.”

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities for a little over 10 years. Since I was a young girl, I’ve worked alongside a dog rescue, gaining experience with everything from shy, nervous pups to high-energy dogs. Over the last three years, I’ve worked at a dog daycare/boarding facility, supervising group play, supporting mild special needs (anxiety, seniors, oral meds), and ensuring each dog’s safety and happiness. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and love their pets as if they were my own. With two rescue dogs at home, I understand the importance of patience, attentiveness, and making every pet feel safe, loved, and cared for whether they’re a playful puppy or a sweet senior! While my main focus is on dogs, I’ve also cared for friendly, socialized cats in the past and am comfortable providing care for them under the right circumstances. I’ve recently finished school and am now looking for new opportunities. This gives me plenty of time to care for your pets! I’m available for drop-ins and walks throughout the week, including late mornings, afternoons, and evenings. My flexible schedule means I can easily fit into your pet’s daily routine, providing walks and drop-in care whenever they need a little extra attention or company! I have years of hands-on experience with dogs of all temperaments, from shy rescues to playful pups. I can provide a safe, loving environment during visits or walks, and I’m comfortable managing special diets, administering medication, or crating your dog if needed. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities, and I’ll keep you updated with plenty of pictures and messages!
About: Our dogs are the new children, and that’s why I know it’s beyond difficult to trust anyone with your four legged babies. You will never need to worry about that with me. I treat all animals as if they were my own babies and make sure to cater to each animal’s needs and preferences. Apart from having two puppers of my own - a 70 lb Goldendoodle and a 15 lb Havapoo - I volunteer at an animal shelter where I’ve worked with dogs off all shapes and sizes, and all with their own quirks. I am comfortable walking your 110 lb Great Dane or your 8 lb toy poodle. I welcome and love them all. I’m happy to take your dog out on walks, to the park, or just give them love and attention. My goal is to make your life worry free and keep your doggy happy while you are away from one another. I currently work from home full time M-F and have a good flexibility to do drop ins or house sitting. I’m also very flexible and can accept last minute bookings. When in your home or walking your dog, I’m prioritizing your dog’s safety above all. I will never allow your dog to be approached by unfamiliar animals without your consent or allow them to be off leash in unsecured areas. I want them to be happy, comfortable, and safe at all times.
“Catherine followed my pet caring instructions to a tee. She had excellent communication and listened carefully to me regarding my pet's needs. Very reliable. I would definitely book with her again.”

“Valerie was amazing! She did a great job of walking our two senior dogs while my family and I went on vacation. She was always in constant contact and let us know if there was anything going on with our boys. I would highly recommend.”

About: Hi there! I’m Diana. I enjoy spending time with dogs and making sure they’re happy, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I’m experienced with small to medium sized dogs with different personalities at varying ages from 1yrs-13yrs. I provide attentive, reliable, and compassionate care, including feeding, walking, playtime, and basic grooming. I’m patient, dependable, and treat every pet like my own, making sure they always feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I understand how much your fur babies mean to you, and I’m dedicated to giving them the same care and affection you would Pet care fits naturally into my routine — I love spending time with animals. I’m available for daily or weekly care Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday from 9am–7pm. I provide pet care in my client’s home, ensuring pets stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I’m available Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday from 9am–7pm. I am also able to provide overnight care if needed on any of these days
“Jennie is great! She offered to accommodate Petey last minute with her mom. Petey and Busker really like her. Would definitely recommend if you need a reliable, friendly walker/sitter!”

“It’s been an absolutely wonderful experience working with Jacqueline. She has been reliable, caring and has great communication. She even washed the doggy dishes I left in the sink and remembers to always give them water before leaving. 10 out 10 recommend!”

“Sherrie was reliable and loving- an ideal combination! She went the extra mile (literally!) walking our dog Millie to make sure Millie was thoroughly exercised. She checked Millie's water bowls without us asking. Sherrie also communicated with us clearly, promptly, and warmly. We will definitely try and hire her again when Millie needs some extra attention. Thank you, Sherrie!!”

About: I have 20+ years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, from brand-new puppies to beloved seniors who need extra support. I’m reliable, patient, and very detail-oriented, and I always follow your routines exactly to keep your dog comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. I also have puppy training experience, so I can help reinforce the cues and habits you’re already working on—perfect for keeping your training consistent. For senior dogs, I offer gentle, attentive care, whether they need medication reminders, slower walks, or just a calm presence throughout the day. What sets me apart is the way I tailor every visit to each dog and each household. No two dogs are the same, and I pay close attention to their personality, energy level, and comfort needs. Whether your dog thrives on structured play, needs quiet companionship, or prefers a predictable routine, I adjust my approach to match what works best for them—and for you. You can count on clear communication, reliability, and genuine care. Your dog stays safe, relaxed, and understood. You stay updated and worry-free. Pet care is my full-time profession, so my entire day is structured around giving each pet the attention they deserve. I don’t overbook or cram visits together—I intentionally keep my schedule flexible so I can stay reliable, punctual, and fully present with every animal I care for. Spacing out visits allows me to maintain a calm, stress-free routine and gives me room to handle any unexpected needs that might come up, such as extra cleanup, weather changes, mobility issues, or a pet who needs a little more time and reassurance that day. Your pet never feels rushed, and you never have to worry about me balancing other jobs or squeezing you in. This is what I do, all day, every day. Your pet’s comfort and safety always come first. I care for pets in their own home because that’s where they feel most secure, confident, and relaxed. I follow your routines exactly—feeding times, walks, medications, training cues, preferred routes, and house rules—so everything stays familiar and predictable for your pet. I pay close attention to details like behavior changes, energy levels, appetite, and overall mood, and I communicate anything I notice. I’m extremely reliable, gentle, and respectful of your home, and I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are always handled carefully. My goal is simple: your pet feels safe and understood, and you feel completely confident trusting me in your home.

“Xavier was great! He was on time and patient. I have two dogs with special needs and Xavier took care of them with no issue. He sent plenty of pictures and they clearly were very well taken care of. He was communicative and very helpful!”


About: Hello! I've had cats my whole life and have had my dog, Jack, since he was only a few months old. Until he crossed the rainbow bridge, I treated him like he is my child. I used to get nervous when I had to leave Jack alone with someone other than myself. So I have decided to join Rover to give fellow dog owners the opportunity to have a real pet lover care for their pets as their own, and put their minds at ease. I would be happy to drop-in and feed & play with your dog in your home or go for a walk around the town. I am very active in my daughters life and drop her off and pick her up from school and dance. Other than that I work two nights a week. I respect the home of other people and I also respect their wishes for their pets. Pets aren’t a “one size fits all” so I adjust accordingly.
About: Loyalty, trust, safety & the love for all types of animals are the key to a working pet environment. I fondly believe that a pet isn’t just a pet, but a part of the family. Luckily, I have been around dogs all my life and have been responsible for them for about 22 years. I have experience walking, sitting, along with some training. Walks with me aren’t just about potty breaks. It’s your pup’s time to get out & live life...just like us! It’s the time to work out all that built up energy and a time to be social. Belly rubs included! I currently work as a freelance hair colorist. My schedule is very flexible. I can offer drop in visits, walks, and extended stays whenever needed. My schedule is flexible, so 1 can easily fit walks, visits, or boarding into my day. I adjust to your dog's routine, making sure their normal timing, habits, and comfort stay in place. Your dog will have a safe, private environment with no unfamiliar dogs. I only board multiple dogs if they’re from the same family, so your pet’s space stays calm, consistent, and low-stress. My home stays clean, comfortable, and focused on your dog’s routine without the chaos of large group boarding.
“Heather was amazing!! She had so much patience with our anxious boy, she really is the frenchie whisperer. Whoever gets to book with her is lucky to have her, she treats your fur baby like family. I would be happy to provide a recommendation/ reference for anyone interested to pursue her services.”

We’ve had such a great experience with our dog walker, Xavier! He’s been walking our two dogs, Koda and Miso, and I honestly couldn’t ask for better care. Both dogs have their own personalities, and he handles each of them so well—making sure they get the right amount of exercise, attention, and love. I always feel at ease knowing Koda and Miso are in good hands. Xavier is reliable, communicative, and clearly cares about the dogs he works with. You can tell he genuinely enjoys what he does, and it shows in how happy and relaxed my pups are after every walk. Highly recommend to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring!

Jing was wonderful with Bailey. He was a little nervous today because it’s only a few days in our new apt, so he don’t finish his breakfast. Jing sat with him and hand fed him a couple morsels, helping him to feel comfortable and then he finished the rest on his own. I highly recommend Jing and will definitely use her again!

I cannot recommend my pet sitter Eleonora, highly enough! From the very first meeting, it was clear that she genuinely cares about animals and take her responsibility seriously. She was warm, patient, and incredibly attentive to every detail of my pet’s routine. While I was away, I received regular updates, photos, and messages that gave me total peace of mind. It was obvious that my pet felt safe, comfortable, and well‑loved. When I came home, everything was spotless, and my pet was relaxed and happy—always the best sign of excellent care.

Jungmin did a wonderful job taking care of my dog, Mia. She walked her with great care and regularly sent pictures and videos, which gave me peace of mind knowing Mia was happy and in good condition. Jungmin was very responsive, kind, and clearly attentive to Mia’s needs. I would absolutely hire her again and highly recommend her to anyone.

AMAZING!!! He made sure my dog felt comfortable with him before taking him on a walk. Provided lots of pictures and videos which made me feel more comfortable, I was so happy. Great communication. He cared for my dog like it was his own, my dog was super happy!!

I contacted Alexandra with just 2 days notice to walk my senior yorkie. She obliged and did a great job. Cody has some special needs as a blind and deaf senior dog and Alexandra listened and asked good questions during our video meet up. She is very sweet and is an animal lover for sure. I would definitely hire her again.
