About: I've been a dog lover my entire life. From helping raise and care for my childhood yellow Lab, to fostering two senior dogs, pet-sitting in different cities, to raising my own puppy the last few years, I'm comfortable with puppies and seniors alike. Whether I'm training, walking, or administering meds, I approach pet-care with kindness, ease, and patience. I work from home, providing me with a flexible schedule to walk or drop in to check on your pups. Working remote also means I am home nearly all the time, ensuring your dog isn't alone if I they are staying with me. Every dog has different needs and every owner has different schedules and expectations. I am very flexible and like to adhere to the dog's routines and what they're used to, in the same way that I'd want someone to do for me. Having dog-sat puppies, senior dogs, and everything in between, I've learned how unique each experience is. I have a cozy, dog-friendly home and a large fenced yard as well as a community park a 5 minute walk away.

About: I have been a dog mom my whole life, from small terriers to Great Danes, and have experience with dogs across the lifespan, as well as dogs of many different temperaments. I am also a lifelong cat owner and can provide excellent and personalized care for all of your furry friends. I have experience with medication dispensing, leash reactivity, and providing personalized enrichment and care, depending on the pet’s needs and personalities. Got a couch potato? Great, I'm an A+ cuddler! Got an adventurer? We'll go on field trips to local parks and walking trails! Whatever your pet needs, I am thrilled to provide. I am currently an MSW graduate student, so Rover is my primary source of income, and hanging out with your furry friends provides some bonus stress relief for me as well - a win-win! I am a full time MSW graduate student and Rover is my primary source of income, so my summer schedule is wide open, and my schedule while school is in session will be based around my class schedule. My own precious pup is not comfortable around other dogs, so I offer housesitting services in client's homes. I will honor whatever your pet's routine and preferences are, and am happy to schedule a meet up prior to our housesitting appointment to ensure that you and your fur baby feel comfy with me.
“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 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.
“Italia is incredible! She is so loving and kind to my pups as well as thoroughly details their daily journeys and behaviors. During our meet and greet, my pups were immediately drawn to her. I have such peace of mind when I leave my pups in her care. We are beyond lucky to have her in our lives!”


About: 3 years of kennel and veterinary assistant experience through various veterinary clinic environments and grew up with dogs, cats and bunnies. Comfortable with some grooming and other services, just ask! I trim nails every 4-6 weeks. Litter boxes get freshened up weekly and full changes and cleaning are 1-2x a month. I don’t currently own dogs but walk my sister’s dog and my cat on a harness occasionally. Feedings are twice a day and grooming once a week. Let’s start that conversation together. I work best with clear communication and knowing what is needed for day care and overnight pet sitting. Willing to work with the right client.
About: I have years of experience with various types of doggy temperaments. I am knowable and experienced with administering fluids, CPR for canines, and giving medicine orally. I have a working dog so I am also knowledgeable with hyperactive dogs! I’ll be your dog’s second best friend, right after you of course! I currently have open availability! I have an Open Availability for your furry children! Send me a message and we can arrange some fun things for me to do with your precious pooch! I often take my dog out to jog in the morning, or anytime we feel up to it! There’s nothing that makes me more happy than to see a smiling happy but tired dog!
“Michelle is an excellent dog Walker! She’s done a great job with my little girl VIDA. She is very in tune with her individual needs. I would highly recommend Michelle to walk your dog!”

“Bari was great to work with! She promptly kept us updated of her visits, sent us pictures of our two dogs on their walks, and gave them lots of love while we were away. We would recommend her, and plan on asking her for help again in the future!”

“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 :)”

“Milagros is an excellent companion and walker for my dog Rex. Rex needs a walker who stays alert to his surroundings and is able to anticipate situations which might cause problems. Milagros handles all of Rex's anxieties and redirects when needed. Rex comes home happy and relaxed. Milagros walks Rex 5 days a week while I recover from a broken leg. She is on time, communicates well, and enjoys Rex. I trust her completely and am grateful to have found Milagros to help out for the next couple of months.”

“Janessa was great! I needed a walker last minute and she responded almost immediately! She was able to be flexible as well when I messaged her and needed to push my pups walk back on the second day! 5 stars!”

“Georgia has excellent dog handling skills. I have a 60lb two year old pittie that is overly energetic and she works very well with him. She is easy to work with and my neighbors have been impressed with her dog handling abilities and how pleasant she is - a couple different neighbors ran into her and my dog on outings and gave positive feedback. I feel my dog is in good hands under her care”

About: I have been pet sitting for years and I have had or been around dogs all of my life. I travel for work so currently can’t have a dog of my own so helping others with their dogs is the next best thing. I have a lot of free time on my hands when I’m not traveling so my schedule is usually wide open. I travel for work about once a month and have a very open schedule when I’m in town. I know well ahead of time when my work will make me unavailable. I can’t host due living in a midtown apartment but I am available for drop ins, walks and overnights if the clients and I have an established relationship.
Medical Center dog parents share their Rover experiences
Tyson was immediately accepted by our dog, Chance. Then he only needed to hear the walk and feed instructions once, so keeping Chance inside of his routine as much as possible and providing us with peace of mind. Really happy with Tyson and grateful for his natural way with animals.

I have a small breed senior dog and a cat. Its hard to find someone I feel I can trust to give them the same care and attention as myself when I am away from home. Natalie is someone I know I can trust my babies with, she takes a bunch of photos each time she walks my dog and feeds him. She goes above and beyond every time and I can tell my dog and cat absolutely adore her and are happy when she comes to help. Thank you Natalie!

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!
