“Beth was professional and gave momoe the attention we wanted while we were out and about. She paid special attention to our notes and we would recommend her again!”

“Carolyn is just the absolute best thing that has happened to us! I can’t say enough about her. She is perfection wrapped up into a beautiful human. Thank you for everything you do for my baby girl 🥰”

“I can’t say enough about how pleased I am with Bari and the way she took care of my border collie Woody. You can tell she has a genuine love for dogs and she takes her rover responsibilities very seriously. During my trip I was always in the know about how my dog was doing because Bari reached out to me each time she tended to him with texts and pictures which gave me peace of mind knowing that my dog is in great hands and being taken care of exceptionally well. I highly recommend Bari.”
“Andrea has been walking my dog Jack for a a couple of weeks now and he has been so happy with her! He is skiddish and shy, but has taken very well to Andrea, which I think speaks well of her! They walk during lunch and he is so much more calmer in the afternoons and when I get home. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

About: I've had three dogs of my own over a 10 year period and have been taking care of the dogs and cats of family and friends for an additional 10 years. I have experience with a wide range of ages, sizes, and personalities – from young to old, small to large, and reserved to energetic. I am dedicated to keeping your dog or cat safe, comfortable, and loved! I'm currently in my fourth year of medical school and my schedule is very dynamic and flexible, so I'm generally available most weekdays and weekends. In your home, I will diligently follow any instructions you give me. I will play with your pets, give them love, and make them feel comfortable.
About: My wife and I both had dogs growing up and are huge dog lovers of all shapes and sizes! We are able to grow quick bonds with any dog and love the opportunity to hang with any pet we encounter. I will follow any specific orders for all pet types and respect any personal rules of any owner. I can transport myself and any goods necessary to keep your dog safe and comfortable. We look forward to meeting your pups! My wife works full time Monday through Friday and I am a freelance graphic designer. My schedule allows for more flexibility on pets of all shapes and sizes! We currently live in an apartment that doesn't allow pets so we unfortunately cannot offer in home care, but we are looking for a place to help your pets asap!
“Michelle is very easy to work with and communicative. She immediately connected with our dog! Our dog loves walking with her so much! And I love getting the notes and pictures she sends! :)”

About: I have years of experience with dogs and pets, starting from growing up around animals to caring for neighbors’ and friends’ dogs. I’m comfortable with routine walks, basic commands, and following care instructions exactly as owners outline them. I also have experience with senior dogs and dogs who need extra patience and care. Pet care fits into my routine in a structured, consistent way. I plan my schedule in advance so I can give each pet my full attention without rushing. I keep a limited number of bookings to ensure walks and visits happen on time and aren’t treated as an afterthought. I’m especially reliable for recurring walks and drop-ins during the week, and I keep my calendar updated so owners always know my availability. If I accept a booking, I commit to it fully and build the rest of my day around that responsibility. I care for pets with a strong focus on safety, routine, and clear communication. Whether I’m in my home or a client’s home, I follow the pet’s normal schedule as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, and any specific care instructions provided by the owner. I take time at the beginning of each visit to let the pet get comfortable, check collars, harnesses, and leashes, and make sure the environment is secure before starting walks or play. I keep doors and gates secured, avoid unsafe situations, and stay attentive at all times — especially around traffic or unfamiliar dogs. In a client’s home, I respect the space and leave it as I found it, while making sure the pet feels calm and cared for. After each visit or walk, I provide a clear update so owners know how everything went. My goal is always to create a safe, low-stress environment where pets feel comfortable and owners feel confident.
About: I have always been a go to caretaker for my friend pets. Pets are like family. Loyalty is everything. All pets are loved here unconditionally. I currently work part time and travel to see my mom in Ohio every 6 weeks. I am available on most weekends. I am flexible to your needs. I have a fenced yard. It is very secure. There are presently no other pets living in my home. It is quiet and close to the park for great walks.
“I don’t know what we’d do without Hans! Probably never be able to leave town again! He’s wonderful with our leash reactive anxious mess, and we came home to a dog who heeled much better than when we left!”

“Cory is AMAZING! He did such a great job taking care of our anxious/obstinate girl. He really went the extra mile when caring for her and his communication is AWESOME. Would definitely recommend Cory!!”

About: Hi! I’m Emily, a dependable and caring pet sitter offering walks and drop-in visits for both dogs and cats. I grew up around animals and have experience caring for pets of all ages and personalities. I’m attentive to routines, patient, and always focused on making pets feel comfortable and safe. I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is well cared for while you’re away I’m flexible and available a wide variety of days! I prefer a days notice but can sometimes make last minute bookings work if needed :) Caring for your pets and treating them as my own is my highest priority. I will ensure that they are taken on plenty of walks and remain on their appropriate schedule. I am always open to special requests that fit your pets needs as well, please just let me know!
About: Hi! I’m a dependable and caring pet sitter who truly loves animals. I’ve spent years caring for family dogs of different sizes and personalities, and I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I offer dog walking and drop-in visits, and I focus on keeping pets safe, comfortable, and happy while sticking to their normal routines. Whether that’s walks, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, or just giving them some love and attention, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m patient, attentive, and great at following instructions, and I always provide updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away. Please note: Drop-in visits may include a short potty walk, but full walks should be booked under Dog Walking to ensure enough time and care. I’m happy to schedule a meet & greet before the first booking to make sure it’s a great fit for everyone. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! I would like to do weekends and evening better. If needed I can do weekdays (Monday - Friday) after work. I’m normally available after 4:30 pm I care for pets at the client’s home. Take them on walks around the neighborhood or dog parks if your dog likes other dogs. My place is small not pet friendly.
About: I grew up with Shih Tzus, a Puggle, and a cat. I provided most of their care throughout childhood and into my teenage years. Since their passing, I’ve been looking for pets to share that love with through walks, play dates, and quality time. I’m a second year medical student and I would prefer to do morning or evening care, but I don’t mind an afternoon gig either. :) I am a great listener with a positive attitude and am willing to do whatever it takes to provide a great experience for you and your pet.
About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life and feel very comfortable around them and very in-tune to their needs. I also worked for Midtown Mutts for a year prior to Covid and going back to school (many of the dogs I walked then are shown in my gallery). Not only do I view pets as family members and a whole lot of fun, I also view them as lifelong friends and would take special care that they are always safe, comfortable, happy, and loved! I am familiar with many different breeds and know what different needs this entitles for each. I am available for specific needs as requested by the owner, such as extra walks or special diets and will respect these. I love to take dogs on runs, to the dog park, or on long hikes if the owner permits. I hope you will consider me for your next dogsitting need! I am currently working from home and self-employed, so I am very flexible with my hours, available nights or weekends if needed, and can work around tricky schedules. I have a daily routine with my own dog and cat, so am very aware of pet routines and their importance. I care for pets by following their established routines as closely as possible and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in their own environment. I pay close attention to each pet’s individual needs, personality, and energy level, whether that means active play and walks or a quieter, more relaxed approach. In a client’s home, I focus on maintaining consistency—feeding on schedule, refreshing water, administering care as instructed, cleaning litter boxes or pet areas, and providing companionship and enrichment. I respect the home and any specific instructions provided, and I make sure pets get attention, reassurance, and positive interaction while their owners are away. I am attentive to pet behavior and wellbeing, communicate clearly with owners, and will provide updates as requested so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. My goal is for pets to feel secure and cared for, and for owners to feel peace of mind.
About: Hi! I’m a warm, reliable, and playful pet sitter who loves both dogs and cats. I’ve grew up with cats (Pumpkin, Smoky, & Mittens 🥹), and in high school, my household adopted Kaizer 🥰, a German Shepherd love-bug who is now a happy senior citizen! I understand how pets’ needs change over time and always tailor my care to each individual animal. I work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to be present and attentive during all house sits, drop-ins, & walks! I am happy to play fetch in your yard, take your dogs on long walks around the neighborhood, and you can trust that they’ll be happy and safe in my care. You’ll receive regular photo and video updates, so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. I treat every pet like my own and aim to make their time with me feel fun, comforting, and stress-free.
“I 100% trust my dog with Arianna! She always leaves notes about how he did on his walk and I really appreciate it! She gives me peace of mind while I’m at work. I know my dog is in good hands :)”

Medical Center dog parents share their Rover experiences
Emily is great - reliable, communicative and a very calming presence for my pups. They are always excited to see her and are happy and tired after their walks. Emily also keeps an eye on my older girl and brings her back early if she's getting too tuckered out. They even seem to behave themselves with her so she has been a very good influence.

Deanna was open to hearing about my dog's behavioral challenges and receptive to implementing strategies that have worked for him in the past. She was generally easy to communicate with and she sent an extensive update after the walk. I would not hesitate to hire Deanna again to walk my dog!
