“Angela is very responsive to messaging and prompt. She gets along great with all of my dogs and is flexible with her schedule. I will continue to use her for all of my sitter needs.”
“My dog Sui was well cared for and happy to see Robert when he returned my apartment key promptly as scheduled. Thank you Robert and Holly for caring for Sui last minute when I was invited out of town for New Year’s Eve. I would rebook/recommend them for people with larger dogs as they were very comfortable handling my hyper German Shepherd mix dog Sui (90 lbs on a leash).”

About: As a lifelong dog lover and proud pet parent, caring for animals is truly one of my greatest joys. I currently share my home with two lovable pups, and I’m also a proud grandparent to three grand-doggies and one grand-kitten—yes, it's a full and furry family! With years of personal experience and a genuine passion for animals, I bring both heart and hands-on knowledge to every walk and pet check-in. I’ve cared for pets of all ages, including senior dogs needing a little extra love—whether it’s administering medications, helping with mobility, or just providing that gentle, loving presence they deserve. Before diving into pet care full-time, I was an elementary school teacher, which means patience, responsibility, and attention to detail are second nature to me. You can count on me to treat your pets like my own—with kindness, care, and lots of tail wags! Looking forward to meeting you and your furry family! Currently, I am available for drop ins and walks two times per day. This summer, my schedule is far more open and could easily fit additional times, as needed. I would follow whatever directions/guidelines are provided for me so that your pet(s) routines are kept as close to what they are used to as possible.
“Michael was wonderful with my cat while I was traveling. Very kind, communicative and professional. He even left her an extra little bag of treats. Highly recommend.”
“Sam was the best! She was able to accommodate my last minute check ins on my two boys. I felt safe letting her into my home. I arrived home to them waiting and they were well taken care of. I 100% recommend and will use her services in the future.”
“Tabatha is the best. She’s a very caring, thoughtful caregiver. Super reliable and responsive with plenty of communication and photos. She even kept an eye on the plants. Will definitely be rebooking in the future if she’s available. Thank you so much Tabatha!”

“Monique took excellent care of my dog while I was away! Shoelace took to her immediately and seemed very happy in all of the pictures Monique sent. It was so great to come home to a happy, relaxed pup and know she was well looked after. I will definitely hire Monique again in the future! Thanks, Monique :)”
About: Since I started providing pet care through Rover, I have gained experience caring for older dogs, puppies, dogs with special hearing needs, and dogs and cats with strict allergies or dietary restrictions. I have grown up taking care of my family's dogs and cats and am experienced with large, medium, and small dogs, old and young dogs and cats, and pets with a variety of backgrounds and stories. I've been dog-walking and pet-sitting for neighbors and family friends intermittently since I was 11. I have also helped friends pet-sit on Rover before and I love getting to know new dogs and cats because each pet is so unique. I work Monday-Thursday from 8am-4:30pm, which is why I list myself as fully available Thursday evenings-Sundays. I am passionate about spending time with and caring for animals, but my current home does not allow pets. Walking and being active outside is very important to my daily routine already and I'd love to help make walking and being outside part of your pet's routine as well! Having grown up with a range of dog personalities, I understand that unpredictable scenarios and reactions can happen and that it's important to be very alert and focused when taking care of pets - especially when they are around new people.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life! I now have my own, she is a Great Dane and is very well trained. We are very active and love to go on walks or go to the park! I’m comfortable around any dog. I work part time so I am home a lot. If I do work, my sister is able to let the dogs out to go potty or just to help me out! I have a fenced yard and one dog. I only let her out there when I’m home. If I’m gone, she just stays inside. I do have a crate if needed!
“Natalya is the BEST. So flexible (we are in the middle of a big addition and temporarily don’t even have a front door any more!) and the dogs adore her. Adore. She is our all time favorite dog sitter and we will 100% use her again if she’ll have us.”
“Amber was absolutely AMAZING with out animals!! She showed so much care and was extremely communicative when it came to the care of our fur babies. 100/10 for sure we will be booking with Amber again! If you are looking for a dog sitter Amber is your gal!!! Thank you so much Amber we and our animals adore you!!!”
