“Michael is outstanding with our puppy! He takes the best pictures of him and he looks so happy in each one. He takes him to play with his dog friends down the street and plays with him in our building’s dog run. He also follows my crazy instructions to take him out specific doors and give him a stuffed toy before he leaves without complaint! Most importantly, Remy is happily resting whenever we get home and he’s walking better on the leash since Michael started walking him. We are so grateful!”
“Tara is wonderful! She has been weekly walking our giant goof of a dog, Jolene, for almost an entire year. Tara provides great updates, photos and always gives Jolene extra belly rubs.”
“Meadow is great! She’s able to let my dog, Yoshi, out while I’m at work and goes above and beyond to make sure Yoshi gets some affection.”
“Olivia is excellent! She had very thorough updates and communication each day with our pet. She took her time to care for him as if he were her own dog. She sent lots of pictures which we loved. Highly recommend!”
“Ciara is great with our 8 month old goldendoodle! She is always on time for his walks while we're at work and always gives us great feedback with the Rover cards. I would highly recommend her!”
About: I've been petsitting ever since I was younger and grew up around dogs my whole life. I don't have any special skills but offer a lot of love as a current dental student who can't have their own pet currently. I am currently a student with a summer schedule that is more relaxed. Currently in the summer, most afternoons after 12 I will be free. In the morning I will have classes from 9-11 am but these are flexible and am free most afternoons. I am very flexible with care, each family and home has their own requirements about how their pet is cared for. I love taking dogs on walks, playing with them in the backyard, or even just cuddling with your pet on the couch together while I work on some homework!
“Flexible and easy to work with. Came in last minute when I forgot to book.”
“Athena was absolutely wonderful with Juno! She is so friendly and professional, and goes above and beyond. I forgot to leave my key for her and she came by my work to pick it up! Juno looked so happy when I got home, I could tell she had had a good day thanks to her walk.”
“Jessica was great! She was so considerate of our first time using rover for dog walking and made sure we felt comfortable! Our pup was well taken care of in our absence”
“We were so happy with Maggie‘s dog walk. She left a lot of great information regarding the walk and was very professional. Overall would definitely recommend”
“I was so nervous to have someone unfamiliar walk my Lilly girl but, Jessica was great and reassured me that she was in good hands! I'm also very thankful for the pictures and update to ease my mind. Will certainly be booking again :)”
About: I am the proud grandchild of a certified crazy pet lady. My grandmother had five cats and two dogs for most of my childhood, so I am well-versed in the patience and love it takes to care for your pets. I work part-time and am fortunate to make my own schedule a lot of the time, giving me plenty of time for pet care! I also find myself out and about in the city all the time, so I’d love the opportunity to care for your pets while exploring new neighborhoods. I know that your space is your own (and your pet’s, of course) and I will be sure to treat it with the care and respect that I would my own.
“Jen is not only the best, most reliable dog walker we have ever used, but also the most trustworthy person we've ever employed to do any kind of work in our household. It helps immensely that she is both energetic and calming. Our rambunctious big boy retriever is always super mellow after each outing with Jen. I wish we'd known of her several dogs ago!”
About: My wife and I have been married over 20 years and 17 of those have been with multiple dogs in our house. We are dog-less at the moment, but would love to give your dog the love we have all of ours for so many years. I work full time from home and my wife is a professor, so we have a lot of time at home. Our son is 2, and absolutely adores dogs Whatever the owner needs us to do for the dog, we are happy to. Snuggles, walks, potty and regular feeding schedule is always on the docket
“Chakra’s first week with Amber has been awesome. It’s been really great for him to have a midday pickup and walk. I can truly see a difference in his temperament.”
About: I love pets but don’t currently have one of my own, so Rover is the perfect side hustle for me! For the energetic dogs - I love walking as much as your pup does and I’m always up for a good long trek or play session! For the couch potatoes, I’m also happy to chill at home. I can’t wait to meet you and your pet! I work from home two days per week and usually take my lunch break at home when I’m in the office, so I have plenty of time to devote to pet care! I enjoy long walks or hikes on the weekends, so I’m happy to welcome higher-energy pets as well. I have a smaller fenced-in yard that’s perfect for potty breaks for larger dogs and plenty of room for zoomies for the smaller pups! I’m located very close to a large park that’s perfect for walks, and my neighborhood is very walkable. I love exploring the local neighborhoods, parks, and state parks. I have a separate guest/office space so can easily accommodate crates. I’m familiar with puppy-proofing and keep any dangerous materials either locked away or well out of reach.
“Took great care of my pets. Was able to jump in and help take care of them last minute. Would recommend!”

“Lin watched our 4 cats last summer while we were in Spain for 2 weeks. Each cat was on a different dietary plan and Lin followed the plan perfectly.
