About: I’ve been a pet lover since I was a kid, and have owned cats since age 4. Currently I’ve got 2 Maine Coon (big) cats and 2 kids! If you need drop ins for home, pet, and/or plant care, I’d love to help. Rest easy knowing that your caregiver is a responsible adult mom who can follow a routine, stick to a plan, and send you cute pictures. I’m currently a stay at home mom, and my kids are in school or summer camps most days! My best hours are between 9am and 3pm, with “tuck in” availability after 7:30pm. I’d be happy to accommodate your pet’s usual schedule as much as possible and stick to familiar routines to reduce the stress they feel without you there with them.
“Kamarin brought me incredible Peace of Mind. She was great with my three dogs who all have different needs and provided wonderful updates while I was traveling so I always knew how the dogs were doing.”
“Amy and Cooper seem to hit it off since meeting last week. Amy is very responsible and pays attention to detail. She always comes ready to give Cooper a fun time on outings!”
About: I have taken care of neighbors and friends pets for years. I have been trusted with feeding, walking, bathing, and loving their pets. I am passionate about providing a safe and comfortable atmosphere for pets while their parents are away! I am currently a student, so I would love to hang out with your pet as a study break! My schedule varies week by week, but I will do my best to accommodate your needs. I love to play, walk, and run with my beagle. And when she’s worn out, I love to lay on the couch with her! This extends to all pets. I love playing with them and making sure they get their energy out…and cuddling with them when they’re tired! I adhere to whatever feeding schedule is desired and I constantly ensure they have water!
“Avery is very sweet and attentive to Goldie. She can over early in the first walk to sit and slow Goldie to get comfortable with her. Loved all the photos and feedback about my dog.”
“Drew is great! He followed all of my instructions and took great care of my baby. He clearly knows how to handle big dogs (Bruce is a Doberman). Will definitely hire again next time I'm out of town for work!”
“Jora was great! Both of our fur babies loved her immediately. She helped us on pretty short notice which was awesome, too! Jora kept us up to date with pictures & a sweet message during both her visits.”

Malvern Gardens dog parents share their Rover experiences
Max is my dog’s favorite! I started a new job that requires a much longer commute, so he’s been walking Junie every week day for a couple of weeks now. He is very responsive, arrives on time, sends pictures, and is very patient with my neurotic dog. She loves Max! I highly recommend him!
I can’t say enough good things about Sydney! While I was out of town, she took incredible care of my dog, sending me regular updates and the sweetest pictures. My dog always looked so happy and relaxed in every photo, which made me feel completely at ease. It’s clear she genuinely cares, not just about the job, but about the animals she looks after. Knowing my dog was in such loving hands gave me real peace of mind. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and kind to care for their pet!
Nicholas was able to accommodate a last minute request for a late evening dog walk, even finding the time to come and do a meet and greet prior to the booking. He was responsive and reassured us that Albus would be in great hands. I enjoyed reading Albus’ report card too! I would definitely recommend Nicholas for your dog walking needs, and I’m hoping to use his services again in the future. Thanks for taking great care of my boy.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Amazing! I can’t say enough good things about Alexandria! They have been a total lifesaver for me and a true best friend to my dog. Always punctual, professional, and kind, they treat my pup like their own. I get updates and pictures from every walk, and it’s obvious how much they care. My dog gets so excited every time they show up—it’s clear they’ve built a special bond. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, dependable, and genuinely passionate about animals, this is the one. Highly recommend!
Sun is a great dog mom. I’ve used her several times to watch and walk my dog Nymeria. And she has done an excellent and great job. If you’re looking for someone who will take care of your dog just as much as you would or even more, Sun is the right person because not only does she care she treats every dog like they’re her own.
