4. Jasmine W.
About: I've been taking care of dogs and other small animals since I was 13. I have been called upon for walking, feeding, and play dates since I was 16. I am an avid runner, who would love to take your dogs on long walks or short runs to tucker them out. I make my own schedule so I'm very flexible. If I have a busier day, I'm finished with my day by 6 in the afternoon I have a 4 year old rescue, a pomeranian mix named Macaroni. He has generalized anxiety, so you can count on me to be able to make your pet feel safe with me at all times!


5. Kristin M.

“Kristin came when we expected her to and seemed to handle our nervous dog appropriately. I appreciated her detailed summary of the visit and would use her again!”


6. Michelle S.

“Michelle was absolutely great with our anxious pup, Stan, she listened to all of his needs/quirks when I explained them and then made sure she did everything to make sure he was comfortable and happy on his walks! We trust her fully and are so happy we found her!”


7. Rebecca L.

“Rebecca is amazing! I have two very challenging dogs (one super timid and the other super protective). She is SO patient and worked through all the quirks my dog was having during her stay and she is very calm and consistent with them! I highly recommend her for your dog walking needs!”

9. Catherine B.
“We have 3 golden retrievers and Catherine does an excellent job caring for them. She treats them like they were her own dogs and they absolutely love her. It is obvious how much she loves animals when she's here with them. We have the highest confidence leaving her with our dogs and I recommend her without reservation.”


10. Michelle G.

“Michelle is so good to our puppy , we are thankful for her”


11. Tam H.
“Tam is a wonderful sitter for our two cats whenever we leave town for a few days (she even helps to keep our plant babies alive, too!) We have a Maine Coon and Sphynx, who for the most part are self-sufficient, though still need helping with wet food! Her pleasant and proactive demeanor made us feel comfortable having her in our home caring for the cats, and would check in daily with photos of them playing and resting.”


12. lisa L.
“Lisa cared for my two cats while I was away and she did a great job! It is always hard to find good and efficient sitters, but Lisa was reliable and I would book with her again.”


13. Jovani S.

“Jovani is super punctual and that’s something I can appreciate! Usually when I get home Nori is ready to play and full of energy but after her walks w Jovani she’s worn out lol and i love that she’s getting adequate stimulation & exercise. + fast and easy communication & lots of pictures :))”


14. Tori R.

“Tori is reliable, attentive, and amazing. She took the booking last minute which brought me great relief. She was attentive to the description in my bio as it related to care instructions. She asked good clarifying questions that showed she was present and responsible in terms of caring my little one. Constantly communicated which reduced my anxiety greatly. Also, great vibes. Will definitely request her services in the future.”


15. Chaitanya K.
“As a pet mom of two dogs one a Puggle and one an Amstaff they have been in the care of Chaitanya on various occasions ranging from a day, a week, or slightly longer. However, irregardless of the time spent the care is the same which consists of loving, compassionate and attentive care in a safe home. During the visits the dogs were provided with multiple daily walks, specific attention was given to diet and meal requests, and consideration of utilization of training prompts were given especially when our Amstaff was a puppy. The dogs were well cared for. I highly recommend Chaitanya for Rover pet sitting services. Every visit my dogs had, I knew they were in very caring and responsible hands which I greatly appreciated.”


16. Kathleen C.

“Although our schedules didn't match to do a meet and greet beforehand, Kathleen was reliable and right on time to walk our puppy. She left fantastic notes and pictures in Rover for us, and we know our pup had a fantastic time with her. Her communication is excellent, and we would/will happily use her again!”


17. Mykal V.
About: I would be a great dog sitter for you and your family because I have lots of experience with dogs not only do I just treat them like their pets but each animal has its own personality and they should all be treated with the same love and care we would want for ourselves.I have been around nothing but animals all my life and if I could I would have my own animal shelter by now I hope you give me the opportunity to show my skills and talents towards my loving dog nature ability and be happy to care for your dog anyway possible way that I can to make sure they are as comfortable as they are at their own home thank you.

Our dogs are huge - great dane/border collie and one very high anxiety lab/german shorthair. She works very will with them. I would be confident in leaving any kind of dog with her. I've also know her since she was a child and watched her interact with all other types of breeds. She is A++”
