About: With over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, I understand that every pet has their own personality, needs, and routines. I’ve raised my own dog and cat from puppyhood and kittenhood into healthy, happy adults, and I’ve also cared for the pets of friends, neighbors, and family over the years—ranging from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra support. Whether it’s daily walks, medication administration, special diets, or just lots of love and playtime, I tailor my care to ensure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy in my care. I treat every animal like my own—with patience, attentiveness, and genuine affection. Your pet’s well-being and happiness are my top priorities. Ready to spoil your pets with love, attention, and treats (if allowed)! Pet care is woven into my daily routine. I work from home, which means I’m able to give pets consistent attention, companionship, and care throughout the day—not just during scheduled visits. Whether it’s my own dog and cat or pets I’m caring for, I build my day around walks, feedings, playtime, and snuggles. Being home also means I can keep a close eye on pets, quickly respond to their needs, and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved all day long. Pet care isn’t just something I do—it’s a lifestyle I truly enjoy. In my home, pets have plenty of space to roam, relax, and feel right at home. I have a calm, pet-friendly environment with one gentle dog and one laid-back cat who both get along well with others. While my yard is unfenced, all outdoor time is supervised, and walks are part of the daily routine. I make sure visiting pets get the same love, structure, and attention as my own—whether that’s playtime, cuddles, or just a quiet spot to nap.

“I could not recommend Hillary enough! She is kind, patient, communicative and takes the best photos of the best adventures 🥰 She is the perfect choice for someone to trust with your pet!”


About: I have taken care of many dogs and cats in my life. I also volunteered at an animal shelter, feeding and playing with cats, feeding and playing with dogs, and feeding and playing with rabbits! I am a full-time teacher, so I have availability in the summer, weekends, and on school breaks. Also, I am available afternoons for walks or feedings. When I am going in to other’s homes, I am respectful of their space. I will make sure it is as clean as it was when I arrived.

“Ava is a dogs best friend. I am so glad my wife and I chose her As our first Rover experience. We will definitely be hiring her on a weekly basis to take Otis out when we are away! she took lots of pictures, catered to Otis’s specific needs, and when he wasn’t tired yet, went above and beyond and walked him even further! He is fast asleep on our couch, feeling happy and tired from his fulfilling day! We hope that they build and even stronger connection. THANK YOU AVA!!”


“Sarah was excellent with communication and sending pictures while checking in on Kona while we were away! She took her for walks, played in the yard and gave her lots of belly rubs and even persuaded our picky eater to finish meals. We will definitely be reaching out to Sarah for future needs! Thanks Sarah!”

“Pilar has been so helpful. She is always very responsive and available. She has been wonderful with Baxter. There was a time when she was walking him and he heard shooting range and panicked. Instead of bringing him right back inside without a walk she sat with him and calmed him down and then was able to get him to walk again. He is clearly comfortable with her and enjoys his time with her!”


“Annie was very communicative and willing to meet us for a quick meet and greet beforehand. We loved the photos that she sent too - it was clear that Brenna had a great time!”


“Nathan was AWESOME! He was available the day of for a last minute walk that really helped us out and gave us peace of mind that our dog was taken care of. He was quick to respond, sent us awesome pictures and a thorough write up of his time with our dog. Thank you so much Nathan!!!”


About: I love animals! I’ve never been able to have my own pets so I am thrilled when I get to take care of other people’s pets. It brings me so much joy! I’m currently teaching on and off and looking for longer term work! I have a very flexible schedule that changes week to week with how much I’m teaching or interviewing. In my clients homes I take care of pets exactly as I am instructed to. I try to replicate clients routines exactly. I love to walk on leash and play with toys!

“Rachel has been walking my dog Laverne weekly throughout the winter and now into spring. Laverne is delighted to have her very own walker and enjoys this special human time. Rachel has been lovely to work with.”


About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and love their companionship. I’ve helped raise them from playful puppies to their senior years—but truthfully, I just love cuddling and playing with pups! While I don’t currently have a dog of my own, I help care for my parents’ dogs whenever they’re away—feeding them, letting them out, and giving them attention and love. I care for pets by ensuring they feel safe, loved, and comfortable—whether they’re in my home or their own. I follow their specific routines, provide plenty of playtime and affection, feed them on schedule, make sure they have fresh water, and take them on regular walks. My goal is to keep them happy and cared for.

About: would treat your pet as if it were my own. respect, care, trust building, etc. ask me any questions! thank you ! i always respond! I work remote and my girlfriend who also is a sitter on rover works remote 3 days a week, so your dog will never be alone or unattended. Always being cared for as they would be at their own home! Safety is most important for me. House has a fully fenced in yard, gates inside for feeding time, automatic poland spring dog bowl feeder to keep everyone hydrated. No excess or not recommended food to keep dogs from feeling ill. Leashed outside of house on walks.

About: I have watched puppies from 9 months, to adult/senior dogs that are up to 10-14 years. I love all types of dogs, and willing to help train. One of my amazing traits is patience with gaining trust with a scared or shy dog. I did go to Costa Rica and I volunteered with stray dogs who needed help healing and getting back on their paws. I have given medication by mouth, and of course used the “hide the medication in food” technique. (One of my reviews was made by me and I apologize for that, I was trying to test out the app and can’t delete!!🐾) I take care of my cat, as well as I have worked at multiple doggy daycares, so I have a background in watching over dogs who board (sleepover at the facility) and take care of them. Professionally for 5 years, but I have grown up with animals. In my clients home, I always ask for a “schedule” and tend to need them to be in contact with me at most times of the day if needed. I send photos if requested, and will clean, get mail, etc, if needed as well.

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I grew up with pets and currently have two wonderful dogs of my own. I’ve cared for many pets within my family and circle of friends, and I genuinely love providing patient, attentive care. While I run my own Salon Suite full time, I make room during slower months to care for animals because it’s something I’m truly passionate about. Your pet’s comfort and happiness are always my priority. I’m a full-time hairdresser, but during the summer months, my schedule slows down as many clients travel. This gives me more availability to work part-time as a sitter. I’ve primarily cared for pets belonging to close friends and family, but I’m now excited to offer my services to others who need a trustworthy and caring sitter. With my flexible summer schedule and love for animals, I’m ready to provide reliable, attentive care to new furry friends. Ensuring the safety, comfort, and trust of your pets is my top priority. I personalize each experience based on your specific needs and requests. I’m very flexible with scheduling and am most comfortable providing care in your home, as I currently have two dogs of my own. This allows me to give your pets my full attention in a familiar and stress-free environment. Your peace of mind and your pet’s well-being are always at the center of my care.


“Chris was so awesome with our pups! He was prompt, friendly, and genuinely seemed to enjoy walking our dogs. I booked last minute for a walk at 4AM!! and he responded in impeccable time to make it work for us. Will be booking again when I need another impromptu walk.”


About: I have always had a natural empathy with animals. When I was young, I spent much of my creative time playing with our family dogs, Jad and Sadie. Nowadays, I am big brother to Kenji, my sister's prehistoric puppy, and his sidekick, Baker. I am a writer working on a novel, mostly at night, so that my daytime is wide open for dog walking. Just let me know what's special about your dog, so I can best plan our walks. I'm looking to schedule in the 11 to 3 range. My main concern is always close attention to the dog, in every aspect: how it relates to other humans and dogs; what kind of pace it likes to set; how much physical attention it likes; whether its shy, outgoing, etc. I always want to make the dog feel as happy, comfortable, and excited about being outdoors as I can.

“Chloe was excellent! She was detailed, timely and sent some great photos and videos of our pup!”


Xiaoxue D.
““I’ve seen Phoebe care for dozens of dogs over the years, and I’m constantly impressed by how naturally it comes to her.” She doesn’t just feed and walk them—she bonds with them. Whether it’s a shy rescue who needs patience and gentleness, or an energetic pup who wants to play nonstop, she intuitively knows how to make them feel safe and loved. I’ve watched her wake up early for walks, sit on the floor for hours just to earn a dog’s trust, and calmly handle even the most chaotic moments with total care and professionalism. She treats every dog like her own, and it shows in how happy and relaxed they are around her. If I were a dog, I’d want Phoebe to be my person.”

Kethleen Jordana D.
“As a pet owner myself, I have had the pleasure of witnessing Kethleen's exceptional care and love for animals, particularly for my two dogs. One of them is a large Great Dane, and Kethleen is incredibly skilled in handling him with care, patience, and affection, even with his size. Additionally, Kethleen's relationship with her parents' two small dogs is equally impressive. She has always shown a natural understanding of their needs, and they absolutely adore her. Her ability to connect with dogs of all sizes, from the largest breeds to the smallest, speaks to her versatility and attentiveness as a pet caretaker. I am confident that Kethleen’s genuine passion for dogs, her responsibility, and her caring nature will make her an outstanding dog walker and caretaker. She has a deep understanding of their behaviors and needs, and her compassionate demeanor will ensure that any dog in her care will be treated with the utmost love and attention.”

Ava was wonderful with our golden, Olive, so much so that Olive had a hard time coming back home! She's a very warm and caring dog walker. I found her to be a very responsible and diligent person. She was very particular about asking specific questions relating to Olive's care and needs and followed the instructions to a T. I would definitely ask Ava's help on a weekly basis to take care of our furry daughter.
