About: During the 20 years of experience I have gained as a pet sitter, I have become someone who goes above and beyond what an average sitter will do. I adhere to specific guidelines set by the owner so that their pet receives the exact type of care they are requesting. I have experience with senior animals as well. I have administered prescription medications as needed and I am very timely. To choose me is to choose the "best of the best" in what you'll be looking for in a animal care provider! I am a dedicated pet sitter. I have open availability and I am very accommodating. Being able to provide these types of services for pet owners has become a passion of mine since my youth. I will be able to commit to my bookings and provide top tier animal care services to all who choose to request me. The animals I have cared for are always within my view. I follow the pet owners specific instructions for care so that they have peace of mind knowing their pet is cared for. I do my best to ensure that the pets have minimal disruption to their daily routine.
“I can't say enough great things about Jorge! He treated my two dogs as if they were his own. That was not easy with one very senior dog and a one year old. No hesitation highly recommending himm.”
“After my original dog walker no-showed for the walk-through that had been confirmed 8 hrs prior, I was in a pickle. We had 3 days to find someone to walk & feed our 3 dogs of varying ages and personalities. Kristine not only was available, she came to the walk through prepared with all the right questions to put us at ease. Jacqi, Caryn and Stevie can be a lot for anyone but she handled 8 days like a pro who genuinely cared. And to top it off we received at least 5 photos from every visit. We returned after a week away to happy and well cared for dogs and Kristine is the reason why. If you ever need a pet sitter, look no further!”
About: Hello, I've had a variety of four leggers (doggos and cats) during my time as a two legger on this Earth. All of them have been cared for from tiny handful through elder years. We're currently down to one doggo right now, and this affords me some opportunity to hulp (as the doggos like to say) with your four legger. Open to walking, sitting, and short home stays. Will to provide more serious walks that include running/jogging for compatible working and herding doggos. We like to say in our house that an exhausted dog is a good dog. I'm an experienced user of Rover also, so I know what is expected for caring for your four legger. I look forward to the opportunity to bring them some happiness. I currently work from home and have a great deal of flexibility during weekdays. I do travel for work on occasion and keep my availability updated. I am available for last minute and emergency care if local. When caring for pets in my own or client's home, I prioritize their well-being and comfort above all else. I ensure a safe and happy environment by providing regular exercise, healthy feeding habits, and plenty of love and attention.
About: As a mom myself (both a dog-mom and human-mom!), I know how hard it is to leave your little fur baby behind to enjoy a fun vacation or business trip but I can assure you that with lots of photos and text updates that your little pup or kitty will be so happy in our animal-loving home! We are a vegan household so needless to say, we do not discriminate against any little or big creature (well, maybe just spiders!). Your pup will have the best care, all the couch snuggles, nice walks on grassy Pehlam Parkway dirt paths, fetch games and timely food/drink care! My 6 year old will endlessly read to him/her and my 3 year old will give them all the scratches! They are VERY good with all dogs big or small and understand the limits, they will never be left unattended with your pup! We lost our Golden Retriever and Coonhound this year and just looking to fill the small void in our home <3! So go on your trip and let us go on some fun exploring walks! Please message me with any questions! I currently work from home full time and am very active and willing to walk dog at any time in any weather... and weekends consist of some sort of activity with our children that would require us to be out of the house for 2-4 hours, no more. We have a 2 bedroom apartment with a very large living room and very large windows that dogs love to look out of! You are welcome to bring your dog bed, we have plenty of space, and a nice dark hallway if they want some peace and quiet :)

About: I've been a lifelong pet owner and currently a dog dad of 2 golden retrievers (Mabel 2yo and Josie 6yo), as well as a cat dad of 2 (Archie 3mos and Theo 7yo). They aren't just pets but family and I treat them that way. My absolute favorite parts of my day is the time I get to spend with them - walks, feeding, playtime, etc. It makes my day and I love getting to give my time and energy towards bringing animals joy every day. Having pets of my own means that this is already built into my day and I would love to share that and pass it along. Besides my own pets and long before Rover existed, I have spent most of my adult life caring for other people's pets as well. Amongst friends and coworkers it has always been a known thing and I am grateful for the may years of experience I've gained from this. I would treat all the animals as if they were my own and give them the love and attention they deserve. I currently work from home with a completely flexible schedule, so have plenty of time to spend with other animals and make it part of my routine. Josie and Mabel especially love to meet and make new friends I would treat all the animals with love, respect, care and of course... lots of snuggles! Our home has a fenced in backyard and we know numerous places nearby that are dog friendly and where I already spend a bit of time and know the other people and dogs that are there.
“Ella was so wonderful with our furbaby while we were away. She came by and took him for two one hour walks every day, fed our fish and even noticed & closed a window that had been blown open by a wind storm one day. I won't hesitate to have her help us again. The peace of mind she gave us was priceless. Thanks so much Ella ❤️”
About: My sister adopted a jack chi when I was 12, I fell in love and a few months later I adopted a chihuahua. That was 7 years ago. I’ve done online school throughout highschool and I take care of both dogs while my sister goes to work everyday. Im enrolled in school taking a few classes online, so I’m usually available all hours of the day for the entire week except for Saturdays. I have 2 princesses that I spend all day with. I live in a four story home with a front lawn and a semi fenced yard which has a big cage. I have a deck with a patio set that my dogs go sit on since they love the sun. I walk my dogs several times a day and let them play outside whenever they want. Pets can go in the backyard if they choose and I just pick it up. Pets are allowed on furniture and can sleep wherever they want whether that be on the couch, bed, cage, or outside. Both my girls are under 15lbs and I only have experience with small dogs, medium dogs, newborn and medium cats. I believe I can host and care for any pet of any size. What goes for my pups goes for yours💞
“Alexandra is wonderful with my dog Poppy! She took the time initially to get to know us and our neighborhood. She took time to understand Poppy’s likes and needs to ensure she would be comfortable during their time together. I have so much peace of mind knowing someone who cares about my dog is taking care of her!”
About: I’ve been taking care of animals since 12 years old. I’m an animal lover who enjoys being outdoors and enjoys nature so hopefully your dog will enjoy running, hiking and long walks. I’ve taken care of animals of all ages and can administer medication (as long as it doesn’t involve using peanut butter since I’m allergic to nuts) as well as administer IV fluids to animals if necessary. I can’t wait to meet your pets and have a blast. I currently work from home so I’ll have plenty of time for your pup and I have a very friendly dog of my own so they’ll always have a companion. While I don’t have a yard I’m very close to a few parks and only a 20 min drive away from a nice state park with lots of trails. I have a fur baby of my own so your pup will always have company and I have lots of toys and treats to keep them entertained.
About: Hi! I’ve always loved being around animals and have been lucky enough to have grown up with them my whole life. I’ve had two dogs, two cats, and a bunny of my own. I also helped out lots of neighbors with their pets over the years, whether they needed a walk, a sitter, or just someone to give their pets some extra attention and care. I’m a college student currently off for the summer, so I have tons of free time to spend with your pets! I’m available for walks and drop-in visits throughout the week and weekends, and I’m happy to work around your schedule to make sure your pets get the care and attention they need. I’ll make sure your pet is always safe and comfortable during walks and drop-in visits by following any specific instructions you provide, whether it’s about medical needs, food, or routines. I take trust seriously and will keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you know your pet is happy and well-cared for. Whether we’re out for a walk or relaxing at home, I’ll make sure your pet feels at ease and enjoys their time with me.

I am writing to express my profound satisfaction with the dog walking services provided by Erick. He consistently demonstrates an exceptional level of professionalism and unwavering reliability. Erick's punctuality is commendable, ensuring that all scheduled appointments are met without fail, which is greatly appreciated. Beyond his dependable service, what truly distinguishes Erick is his remarkable attentiveness and genuine care for both my personal requirements and the specific needs of my 75 lb furry baby . He approaches every interaction with thoughtfulness and a deep sense of responsibility, ensuring his comfort and well-being are always prioritized. Based on his performance and dedication, I definitely recommend Erick. He has become my sole and trusted provider for these essential services due to the unparalleled quality of his work.
Lina was absolutely incredible!! We have a pup who is nervous around new people (barking, growling, etc.) and we were so stressed about finding a walker. After having a bad experience with another walker, we found Lina and couldn’t be happier. She was so kind, knowledgeable, friendly, and took the time to make our dog comfortable. She even continued some of the training we had been working on. She will definitely be our first call if we need a walker again and we cannot recommend her enough!!
Joceylin was fantastic!! She took such good care of Riggby when I was away. She gave lots of updates and was very caring, thoughtful, and attentive. She asked lots of questions if she was unsure of something and really showed her love for my pup. Highly, highly recommend!
Alyssa was a hit with us but, more importantly, with our dog Ella from the moment she first came to our house. She has a warm, upbeat vibe, fully of energy and happiness. My dog reacted in kind. Alyssa is very cooperative and wants to help out when/ however she can. She is reliable and trustworthy. We HIGHLY recommend her.
