“Jordan did a great job in taking care of my fur baby. She left me detailed notes and cleaned up a mess that my dog left behind when she didn’t have to. Would definitely recommend and will use her again.”

“Christie was great with our 4 month old puppy, Wanda. She showed up consistently and let me know ahead of time when something unexpected came up preventing her from walking Wanda as scheduled one time.

About: Our family has always been animal lovers. We have had lots of different types. I absolutely adore spending time with pets and being the one that families rely on for their furry family members. I am a full-time teacher at an elementary school. I am more than happy to check in on furry friends before and after school, as well as in the evening. I am very flexible and also reliable. I am a very good communicator and want to make sure everyone is comfortable when working together. Spending time with my furry friends are the best part of my day. I am very trustworthy and will always give your pets the love they deserve!
About: Hello fellow dog lovers! My name is Erica and I am here to help you and your fur babies out when you need the extra set of hands. I have been around dogs my entire life and I have personally trained my last two dogs, both with verbal and non verbal commands. I am very comfortable with all kinds of dogs and will learn to adapt how to best take care of your animal. My job here on Rover is to help put your mind at ease and love on your fur baby just as you would. I am a very active individual so I would be happy to take your dog for a walk when your schedule is too busy to! Your pet deserves all the best care, even when your schedule does not allow it. Let me help you by taking your dog get those daily or weekly walks. Or even if it is just a quick potty break during your busy schedule. I am currently a full time athletic trainer so I work more of a second shift during the week but my mornings and weekends are available to help you out! Or even if I had to stop by after work to let your dog out when you are out of town, I would be more than happy to make sure your dog is taken care of. I am a full time athletic trainer at a high school so my work shift is more of a secondary shift, meaning I have time in the mornings to help take care of your dog if you know your schedule is going to be busy that day. My weekends ca be available as well if give enough notice. Maximum play time is essential with dogs meaning long walks or engagement when playing is important for their minds and bodies to help them remain that puppy you first fell in love with. I have no problem going for 2 or more miles when walking your dog, as I take mine for a 3 mile walk every morning.
About: I work from home and would love an excuse to get up from my desk and what better excuse than to get some puppy and dog cuddles while also getting exercise by walking. I currently have a corporate work from home job that requires me to be at a desk. This type of schedule fits into my routine because it allows me to visit pets before starting work, at lunch or breaks, and also after work. My schedule is very flexible that I can meet you where you need it. I am very detail oriented and a huge pet lover at heart so when I am visiting your house, I respect the house rules and follow instructions to a T. I also am very high energy due to ADHD and am a great partner for fetch and walks.
About: Former Executive and mom with a passion for pets. Leaving your pet can be stressful for you and your pet. Rest assured that your pet and home will be well cared for while you are away. You will find I am reliable, communicative, and professional. My daily schedule is very flexible with availability seven days a week. Multiple visits per day and multiple pets are welcome. I can work with nearly any pet schedule and can ususally accept bookings with 1 day advance notice. My goal is always to set my clients' minds at ease while they are away. It can be stressful on pets and pet owners to be separated which is why I am sure to communicate regularly, keep to the agreed upon schedule and give lots of love to your pets while you're away.
About: Hi! My name is Kiera, and I am happiest when surrounded by animals! Choosing my ‘favorite’ animal would be like choosing a favorite child at this point. I can’t see my life without them – they need their “hoomans”, and I’d be more than happy to provide any care they could possibly need! I have experience with administering liquids and pills by mouth to cats and dogs. I’m consistently looking out for their well-being, thinking ahead for them, keeping them out of potential harm. I know what it’s like to miss your pets while you’re away and I'm here to help alleviate those worries. Pet sitting goes beyond feeding them. My job is to ensure your pets are happy, fed, and safe! I’m happy to give out head, body, and belly rubs any time. They demand, and I supply! I’ve been pet-sitting for friends and family for 15 years. I’m very passionate when it comes to animal care. Fun fact: I’m a vegetarian! I also have a cat of my own who snuggles with me every single night! My kitty girl is my world. I give her a lot of love, and I’d be delighted to share some of that love with your pets too! My visits always include: Feeding and thorough litter box cleaning (cats). Playtime and lots of petting and snuggling. Watering of plants if desired, bringing in the mail, and taking out the trash before your return. I will keep food prep and feeding areas clean and tidy. Updates at every visit, with photos and videos. 😊 I currently work in a full time remote position, but find myself having a lot of free time during the weekends. I'm open to house sit just about every weekend starting on Thursdays evenings through Monday mornings. In a perfect world, every minute of my free time would be spent with a new fluffy friend. In your home, I make sure your fur baby feels safe and comfortable We'll have playtime, cuddle sessions, and I'll always follow their routine to keep them happy and relaxed.
About: I was pre-vet in college, which is where my love for dogs began. I have since been training dogs of all breeds, ages and sizes over the past 5+ years! I have handled wild ones, tame ones, spicy ones and old ones and I love them all like they’re my own! I can be very very flexible most days, sometimes, with same day availability, so don’t hesitate to ask! I’m most open every other Monday, every Friday-Sunday, but most other days, I’ve got flexibility- I am mostly a stay at home mom, so I’ll just need a little heads up to drop my kid off with a sitter 😊 I have a fenced in yard and a garage that I pull in to so when transporting, the dog is never free roaming. I always transport dogs in crash- tested crates, to be extra safe and I have a room in my home, specifically for crating and rotating dogs!
About: What sets me apart is the level of attention, patience, and personalized care I provide to every pet. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all care — I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, routine, and specific needs so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I have experience working with young pets who are still learning routines and basic training. I reinforce positive behaviors, maintain consistency with house rules, and help build good habits through patience and positive reinforcement. I’m also comfortable caring for senior pets and understand they often need a slower pace, medication management, mobility support, and extra monitoring. I pay close attention to subtle changes in behavior or appetite and communicate promptly if anything seems off. Above all, I treat every pet like they’re my own — with kindness, structure, and genuine care — while keeping owners updated for peace of mind. Morning (10–30 minutes) Feed and refresh water Quick health check (energy level, appetite, bathroom habits) Walk or play session (especially for dogs) Midday (if applicable) Short walk or litter box check Brief playtime or enrichment (toys, puzzles) Evening (20–60 minutes) Dinner feeding Longer walk or active play Grooming touch-up (brushing, wiping paws, cleaning bowls) Litter box cleaning (cats) or cage cleaning spot-check (small pets) When pets stay in my home, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and structured environment. Daily Care Includes: Feeding according to the owner’s instructions (diet, portions, schedule) Fresh water available at all times Regular potty breaks or litter box maintenance Daily exercise (walks, yard time, or supervised play) Enrichment activities (toys, puzzles, affection, basic training reinforcement) Safety & Comfort: Pet-proofed space Supervised interactions with other pets (if applicable) Separate feeding areas if needed Clean bedding and sanitized bowls Medication administration if required (following written instructions) Communication: Daily updates with photos/videos Immediate communication if any concerns arise
“I know my baby is in good hands when Samantha comes to walk him! She always keeps me updated with pictures along the way and is very communicative. I am very thankful for her walking my baby while I’m working long hours.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 – Absolutely Fantastic Dog Walker Molly has been incredible with my dog, Draco. She is reliable, caring, and always goes above and beyond to make sure he’s happy, exercised, and well-looked-after. Draco absolutely loved his time with her, and it gave me total peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands each day. Her communication has always been excellent—updates, pictures, and notes that showed she truly cared. Even on busy days or last-minute changes, she was flexible and professional. I’m genuinely grateful for everything she’s done for us. Atlanta is lucky to have her, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and compassionate dog walker. Thank you again for everything…you will be missed!
