“Cheryl walks Slash every week - she’s been a great help to us as we are in the office more often. She’s very communicative and adjusts what she does with Slash depending on weather or how energetic he is that day. Would definitely recommend Cheryl to anyone who needs a reliable dog walker!”

“Mary is amazing she is so sweet and affectionate towards my dog and has been available last minute for extra/ longer walks. I feel good knowing my dog is cared for by her!”

“Vanessa is very communicative and always on time & responsive. She’s been a star working with our very skittish and nervous bernese and has successfully made friends with our dog - which is hard to do. We are very happy to have found her!”


“Kayla is great with my pup, Holly, including getting Holly back in her crate after walks (Holly hates her crate), and during our meet and greet you could tell that Kayla is familiar with dog training techniques.”

“Onyx is always reliable, communicative, and responsible. I have trusted her to walk my dog Lucy every day and she has never missed a day without advanced notice. She always keeps me updated and pays close attention to any changes in behavior. I always felt that Lucy was safe and I didn't have to worry about her while I was at work. Unfortunately we are moving away or I would continue to use her service. I could not recommend her more!”


About: Hi! I’m Esther - a lifelong animal lover who’s raised dogs from high school through adulthood and now has a pup of my own. I know firsthand how much trust it takes to leave your fur baby with someone new, and I care for every pet with the same patience, gentleness, and consistency I give my own. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, temperaments, and little quirks - from shy rescues to playful puppies to senior sweethearts who need extra support. I’m attentive to animal body language and emotional needs, and I always take the time to make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and understood. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, so I can reliably drop in throughout the day - rain or shine - to keep your pet’s routine consistent. Whether your fur baby needs walks, meals, medication, enrichment time, or just extra cuddles, I’m happy to tailor my care to exactly what they need. Safety and cleanliness are extremely important to me. I always refresh water bowls, follow feeding routines closely, and make sure everything is secure before I leave. If you let me know where your trash can and cleaning supplies are, I’m more than happy to clean up any little “oopsies.” I can also vacuum or sweep up any litter that adventurous kitties might track around - whatever helps keep your home tidy and your pets comfortable. I also keep a close eye on pets at all times and send updates, photos, or videos so you always feel connected and at ease while you’re away.
About: I have experience taking care of my own dog as well as others’ dogs. I found a scrappy mini schnauzer named Mickey at the shelter in 2018 and fell in love immediately. I brought him home that day and was his primary caretaker for the next 7 years through his difficult battle with cancer. Since losing him, I’ve been volunteering at the shelter and dog-sitting others’ dogs. I can provide attentive care based on you and your dog’s needs, including special needs and senior dogs. I’d love to meet you and your dog and see how I can help! Im currently a student, so I have a lot of free time. I am free to walk your dogs pretty much anytime that works for you! My priority is keeping your dog safe and your home secure through every visit. I am extremely careful during entries and exits to ensure your pet stays safely inside, and I always double-check that all doors are locked when I leave. During walks, I stay highly alert to our surroundings, including traffic and other animals, while maintaining a secure grip on the leash at all times. You can expect a detailed update and photos after every walk so you have total peace of mind.

About: I grew up raising and caring for two dachshunds - a mother and one of her puppies. The younger one is a senior dog now who lives with my mom - when I care for her now I regularly apply eye drops as her vision has worsened - to help keep up her quality of life. Over the years I’ve happily cared for chinchillas, pet rats, and also spent many years working with and caring for horses. I currently help care for my roommate’s cat. I love and deeply respect animals of all kinds! I have great attention to detail, patience, empathy - and I value comfort, safety, and a quality standard of life for all animals. I’m very responsive to directions and guarantee you can feel at ease with your baby in my care. I work 10am-6pm on weekdays, so I am available either before or after that window to walk, feed, etc. I also get an hour for lunch so if you live near enough to me, I can also stop by to walk, feed, etc. during one hour of the day (the time I take lunch is flexible). I am also available most weekends for the entire day/can be sometimes be available overnight as needed. For boarding, we can discuss logistics in advance as my roommate has a cat and I am only home all day on weekends In my apartment, my roommate’s cat will be present. He is good with other animals and has been around other dogs before without concern. Depending on your specific needs/instructions, I can work to accommodate your pet’s comfort and safety.

About: Hi! My name is Sarah-Jane Clarke. I am an animal loving Software Engineer! I’ve taken care of dogs and cats throughout high school, college, and now post grad for my relatives, friends, and Rover clients! I have experience feeding, taking on walks, and playing with pets. I am always sure to make any pet feel comfortable and safe while they are separated from their owners. At home in Connecticut, my parents have a 3 year old cat named Valley who I take care of while I am home. From this experience I have grown to love cats and feel comfortable feeding, playing with, and cleaning cats litter. I love being around cats and making them feel happy and loved!!! I also had a yellow lab for 12 years and was always helping take care of him and take him on walks throughout my childhood. I have taken care of small dogs as well as larger ones and multiple cats at one time. I would be very excited to help you out by caring for your pet! I recently took care of my friends 4 month old Beagle for 2 months while he was traveling. This gave me solid experience taking care of a young dog including feeding, potty training, walks, and making sure they get plenty of activity! I work Monday-Friday 9-5pm but work from home everyday! I am able to come before and right after work, or times I do not have urgent meetings, any day to feed & play with your pet. have a safe, clean apartment for a dog or cat to be comfortable in. In any clients home I am sure to respect their privacy and keep their home in good condition while playing with and caring for their dog! I am always sure to leave the client’s home as they left it (or cleaner!) and with a happy pet. I will be sure to follow the instructions the owner gives me.

Austin was great! He walked Rascal approximately twice daily for a four-day period. He reliable, communicative and easy to deal with. Rascal can be a bit cranky when he doesn’t know somone but Austin was able to handle him and earn his trust. We felt very comfortable knowing that Rascal was in good hands!

Anastasiia was wonderful with my dog! She met us beforehand for a meet and greet, and then provided photos and feedback during her first walk. She is trustworthy and was great with navigating the procedures in my apartment building. I am so thankful for her help!

Elizabeth walks our dog multiple times a week and we can’t recommend her enough — she is fantastic!! Our dog loves her and she is so easy to work with. She is always on time and is flexible, communicative, and thoughtful. We have loved working with her and highly recommend!

Maaidah is amazing, she provides great updates throughout and goes above and beyond to really make you comfortable as having her as your caregiver. I can’t thank her enough as she is one of the best sitters I’ve been connected with since being on the rover platform. Highly recommended
