About: I have taken care of a lot of dogs and have house sat for tons of people who need pets watched. I helped train my 6 month old Bernie doodle puppy. I am working part time right now so I will have plenty of time to care for your pups. I am usually open for boarding on weekends/ weekdays I have a nice fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your dog occupied and happy. Plenty of toys are available and treats of course!

About: Over the past 7 years, I have had the incredible opportunity to walk and sit for dogs of all shapes, sizes, and breeds. From energetic pups to laid-back seniors who prefer a leisurely stroll. I am reliable, responsible, and trustworthy, and I take great pride in the trust that pet owners place in me. I would be thrilled to have the opportunity to care for your beloved pet and treat them as my own. I also have a dog-walking business license. My husband & I are both self-employed, so our schedules are flexible, we have plenty of time to take care of your pet and always have someone at home. I don’t have a yard, but I do have a balcony and deck. I have a child who loves playing fetch and running with the dogs. Additionally, I walk my clients’ dogs 3 times a week, so I can take your pet on a long walk with others. If needed, I can also run your dog or play fetch in the park or on the beach. I can also crate your dog if necessary.

Thomas is super reliable and flexible with our last minute walk requests! He’s clearly a natural with dogs — our 75lb chocolate lab loves him and comes home happy and ready for nap.

About: I’ve never owned any pets myself but I have previously lived with housemates who have had three cats and two dogs. I am hoping to adopt my first furry friend soon, and would love to take care of yours in the meantime! I am working from home 5 days a week, and therefore have a flexible schedule. I’ve worked with breeds of all different shapes and sizes and would be happy to work with your dog as well! In your home, I am respectful of your property and surroundings and can follow all instructions left! I work from home full-time so am available to help as needed! My schedule is flexible. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions. Your dog's home is mine, please let me know if there are any specific needs for your pup and I can accommodate. I am always watching to make sure your pup is safe.

About: I have owned a dog since I was 8 years so for 13 years I have lived with a dog. I successfully navigated college with a dog and became a dog walker two years ago for a full time job. I am best at building relationships with the dogs and gaining their respect. I have trained difficult breeds as puppies and I also have much experience with senior care, including bowel problems, joint and bone problems, and distributing medicine. Out of the 15 jobs I have worked since I was old enough to work, this is my favorite one! I find time every day to implement pet care because it has become a part of my own routine as I enjoy it very much! I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of both the space and the pet’s habits, whether that means sticking to feeding schedules, walks, medications, crate routines, or just giving them extra attention and playtime. I know every animal is different, so I try to pay attention to their personality and energy level instead of forcing them into a routine that doesn’t fit them. I also prioritize safety during walks and visits by keeping pets supervised, avoiding unsafe environments, double-checking gates/leashes, and making sure they have fresh water, exercise, and a calm environment (and of course cuddles and attention.) I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so I want them to feel relaxed and cared for while their owners are away.

About: Lifelong dog owner experienced caring for dogs at every stage of life, from puppies to senior dogs with ongoing health needs. Comfortable with medication routines, special diets, and following detailed care instructions. I provide attentive, reliable care focused on keeping each dog safe, comfortable, and well looked after. Pet care fits into my daily and weekly routine as my primary focus right now. I’m currently dedicating my time to building consistent availability for walks, drop-ins, and sitting, and I plan my schedule around each booking to ensure reliable, attentive care. This allows me to be flexible, responsive, and fully present for each pet I’m caring for. I care for pets in a way that prioritizes safety, routine, and comfort in their familiar environment. In a client’s home, I follow all provided instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medication routines, walk guidelines, and house rules to keep the pet’s routine as consistent as possible. I take time to understand each pet’s temperament, energy level, and needs so I can adjust my approach accordingly, whether that’s a calm drop-in visit, an active walk, or extended sitting care. During walks and potty breaks, I stay attentive to surroundings, use secure leashing at all times, and avoid risky interactions with unfamiliar animals. For drop-ins and sitting, I focus on companionship, play, feeding, and maintaining cleanliness, including litter boxes or accident cleanup as needed. My goal is always to provide calm, reliable care that keeps pets safe, comfortable, and stress-free while their owners are away.

Sarah was excellent to work with -- communicative, friendly, and great with our girls. They are each 40lbs of energy and not the easiest to control sometimes -- but she worked with them to earn their trust and be their walk leader. Additionally, even though most of the walks were scheduled during a heat wave, zero complaints from Sarah, and she smartly knew to make the sure dogs didn't get overheated by limiting the distance and making sure they had water. Highly recommend her for anyone who is looking for a conscientious person to take care of their pets!

Gabby did a great job with my dog, Murphy! Murphy’s a rescue chihuahua mix who takes awhile to warm up to new people. I know it was not easy, but Gabby got him out for two walks while I had to travel out of town for the day. I really appreciated Gabby’s patience with him and it was a relief to know he was in good hands.

Good communication and sense of humor. Accommodated my dogs needs even if they didn’t fully align with the Rover plan. I booked a walk but my girl decided she didn’t want to and Leslie hung out with her in the yard and gave her cuddles and attention instead.

Lydia is great! She helped us walk Nova while we were on a trip and had my mom staying with Nova. My mom cannot handle Nova due to her reactivity to other dogs, squirrels, and cats. Normally they would just play in the back but our yard was too flooded to permit it. Lydia jumped in to help on very short notice and in the middle of some crazy weather. She was punctual and took Nova out on a different walk each morning that we needed her. She is communicative, responsible, and took good care of our spoiled princess baby. I highly recommend her!

Tyler spoke so nicely to my dog. followed the routine I asked him to, and he gave my dog pets and his dog treats. I highly recommend Tyler G. for caring for your pet’s needs. -Polly
