“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!”


“Ashley is my very first walker from Rover. She arrived on time. She asked great questions, and was helpful in laying down the plan for Jacqui. My dog can be a snob in meeting new people, but because of Ashley’s personality and ability to follow instructions, Jacqui felt comfortable letting Ashley remove her harness towards the end of the walk! What a big relief on my side! I will be using Ashley again for future walks.”

“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 🥰”

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.
“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! :)”

“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!”

“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 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.
“Bari is the best! I feel so comfortable when my dog is with her and the pup crew she walks. I can tell they are so loved and well taken care of. Bari treats the dogs like they are her own, she’s flexible, and has helped me out when I’m in a bind. The highlight of my day is getting the Rover pictures because I can see how happy Charlie is.”

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!
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!
About: Animals have been part of my life from the very beginning. My family raised and cared for pets of all kinds, including Maine Coon show cats, a golden retriever, and a yorkie. I grew up surrounded by them, learning early how to read behavior, provide steady care, and build trust with different personalities and species. The only time I ever lived without an animal in my home was during my first two years of service in the Air Force. Since then, I have continued to share my life with dogs, cats, and the occasional more unusual companion such as a bird, a ferret, and a snake. Every one of them has been loved and treated as family. These days I share my home with Daxter (my orange tabby) and Catarina and Beretina (two crazy torbie sisters) who keep life entertaining in all the best ways. I am a veteran currently in school and I work part time as a martial arts instructor. Outside of that, I enjoy drawing, playing guitar, and video games. Among my friends I have become the go to pet auntie because I care for their animals as if they were my own. My goal is to bring that same level of attentiveness and genuine care to every pet I look after. Whether they are shy, energetic, quirky, or easygoing, I meet each animal with patience, respect, and a calm presence so they feel safe while you are away. I currently work part time as a martial arts instructor during the day, but my schedule is extremely flexible to accommodate both you and your pets’ needs I care for every pet with a focus on respect, clear communication, and their individual comfort levels. Whether a cat or dog is shy, social, or a little spicy, I follow their cues and let them set the pace. With many years of experience, including caring for my own three cats (Daxter, Catarina, and Beretina), I’m very attentive to both physical and emotional needs and quick to notice changes in behavior or stress. Your peace of mind matters just as much as your pet’s. If you’re away, I provide consistent updates and photos as often as you’d like so you always know how they’re doing. I welcome specific instructions or preferences because every pet has their own routine and every owner has their own comfort level. My goal is simple: your pet feels safe and content, and you feel confident that they’re in good hands.

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.
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.
“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!”

“Georgie is an awesome pet sitter! She gives special attention to both my pets and writes the greatest updates on them with pictures that capture their personalities. That tells me she is really spending quality time with them and they love her! She is my first call every time we need our pets cared for!”

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.
“Katherine is a super star! Not only did she come at a moment's notice (saving the day after I injured myself) but she was really attentive to my dogs. I recommended that she take each dog separately, which she did. She came back rather quickly though and let me know that Harry was being shy and might do better if Alfie walked with him. And it did! They had a great walk, did their business, and now I can rest easy knowing there won't be little surprises left throughout my house :) Thanks Katherine!”

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!
