“Grace & Mara are amazing & reliable,‼️ my dog Hudson loved his walks and felt very comfortable in a new city and environment. Thanks to these exceptional Rovers🤗👟🐾 Thank you, Grace and Mara I will absolutely book with you again👟‼️💥”


“Ella did a wonderful job walking and caring for our dogs. She was very communicative and on time and left pictures and notes about their walk. I felt very comfortable knowing my pups were in caring hands! I would not hesitate to use her services again.”


About: I have personal experience with cats but have watched several family members/friends dogs when needed. My children pet sat and I would accompany them. I love to learn about what makes them unique and I truly love to walk them. I work part-time from home so I have a lot of flexibility. Heavier schedule the 2nd-15th of the month. My children are grown and live out of time, so I have a lot more extra time. Since we have an older cat living with us, I would need to dog/cat sit at the clients house. In an emergency, I could see what I could do.

“Ana has been doing a great job walking Mabel and taking her to the dog park. She does a really good job, and we will continue to use her moving forward. Thanks Ana!”


“Our dog loves Morgan and looks forward to his walks. Morgan is easy t work with and communicates very well. Knowing he is getting his midday walks from a caring person makes all the difference.”


About: I’ve walked neighbors dogs when they’re out of town and have visited dogs to feed them and let them out. I’ve also had a dog my entire life. I can walk or visit dogs anytime of the day. I can also pet sit. I’m on summer break so I’m very flexible with my hours. I make sure they are fed on time and get their proper meds on time. I also play with them and like to take them on walks.

“Laura is absolutely wonderful! She is kind and even tho I have a big dog she has no issue handling him. He reads her energy and can tell she is a loving gentle soul so he is being on his best behavior for her. She is always on time and goes above and beyond 🩷. My first experience having someone else care for my pup is with Laura and I truly could not be happier!!!”


“Mary was great! She was available for my last minute work trip to walk my dog. She took great care of her and left me detailed Roger cards. Will definitely be using Mary again - thank you Mary!”


About: I'm a certified veterinary assistant, and I’m currently in school to obtain my veterinary technician certification. I interned at a veterinary clinic for six months and have been working at a dog daycare and boarding facility for almost a year now. I work part-time. My shifts are either 6:30-1:30, 6:30-11:30, and 1:30-7, and on days I “double” I have a 2-hour break in between. Besides work, I am taking an online class for Vet Tech, so I can do it anywhere I need to. I have been around various breeds. I know the warning signs of when a pet is scared or not comfortable, and I always take my time with new fur friends.

“Kristin always does an excellent job communicating, making me feel comfortable that my pets are in great hands. I appreciate how dependable she is and would recommend her.”


“Lesley was great with our dogs and provided great updates!”


“Very kind, very patient, and reliable.”


About: Hey there! I’m a teacher, trail enthusiast, and proud fur mom to a rescue mixed pup named Sherlock. When I’m not grading biomedical labs or herding students through science experiments, you’ll find me in the mountains chasing the next hiking/biking trail—or chasing Sherlock around the backyard playing fetch (he’s winning, for now). As someone who knows the juggling act of a busy schedule and a beloved pet, I’m here to help make your life easier with drop-in visits and dog walking that feel more like playdates than chores! Whether your pup needs a brisk walk to burn off zoomies or a midday check-in full of tail wags and treats, I’ve got it covered. Cat parents, I see you too! I’m gentle, patient, and totally fluent in “cat”—whether that means lap cuddles, feather wand marathons, or just keeping the food bowl filled to royal standards. I know every fur baby has their own personality, and I make it my mission to meet them where they are. I’m family-oriented, active, and passionate about animals of all kinds. Charlotte is my playground, and I love exploring its parks, neighborhoods, and pet-friendly spots. If your pet likes fresh air and good vibes, we’ll be fast friends. Let’s connect! I’d love to meet your four-legged family member (and spoil them a little, too). I do have some flexibility as a teacher! I have summers off, most holidays, and some random days here and there. I get out early afternoon so I do have availability from early afternoon until nights. Weekends I am available any time typically. I will make sure your fur baby gets whatever all the love and attention it needs! If it is to get some zoomies out, be fed, play time, and maybe a few extra belly rubs!

About: Since I was young, I’ve had a special connection with animals. I grew up in a home with dogs and cats, and over time, I became the go-to person for friends and family whenever they needed someone to care for their pets while they traveled. For over 10 years, I’ve looked after dogs of all breeds and sizes, from energetic puppies to senior dogs requiring special care. I’ve also cared for cats, learning to respect their unique personalities and needs. My experience has taught me the importance of patience, love, and routine to ensure every pet feels safe and happy under my care. I work from home, so I have plenty of time and a flexible schedule to care for your pets. Whether they need walks, playtime, or just companionship, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable and well cared for. I’ve always had a deep love for animals and truly enjoy spending time with them. Caring for pets isn’t just a job for me—it’s something I’m passionate about. I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just some extra cuddles, your furry friend will receive plenty of attention and a home-like environment where they can feel happy and relaxed.

About: I've taken care of all types of dogs with all energy levels, and have been regularly dog sitting for friends and family for the last decade, and love doing it! I'm a very active person and am willing to take dogs on long walks, hikes or even runs, but also have a fenced in yard for dogs that prefer to stay close to home. I have a soft spot for older dogs, as I was the primary caregiver for my childhood dog that lived to be 16 years old. I've also gained a ton of experience with shy dogs during covid, as I foster failed with my current dog, who was a completely feral, terrified street dog. She is now a sweet pet who loves when other dogs come to visit! I currently work from home, and can make time throughout the day for cuddles, walks and yard time with the pups in between work meetings. My house is a safe environment for you pet. I make sure to do slow introductions with my dog and any new dogs coming into the house, and the dogs eat in separate rooms (no matter how well they get along). Yard time is always supervised.

About: Hi! I am an elementary school teacher looking for extra income. I love dogs!! I have 2 dogs of my own; A 13 year old yorkie and a 10 year old beagle mix.

I’m currently on summer break, so I have lots of free time to take care of your pets! I love to go on walks and even stay inside to play.

I make sure to leave it just like I found it, if not better! I pay attention to your pets and adhere to there schedule as best I can!

A little more than a year ago I got my first puppy, so I also have learned a lot about caring after puppies and providing plenty of walks and entertainment, to ensure they are cared after and happy. Im currently working part time, therefore I have availability most days of the weeks for drop in visits or for taking plenty of dog walks. I live close to the park , I take my own dog on various walks daily to ensure she is active and has plenty of time to go potty. I do the same activities for every and any dog that I am looking after.
