About: I’ve been a pet lover since I was a kid, and have owned cats since age 4. Currently I’ve got 2 Maine Coon (big) cats and 2 kids! If you need drop ins for home, pet, and/or plant care, I’d love to help. Rest easy knowing that your caregiver is a responsible adult mom who can follow a routine, stick to a plan, and send you cute pictures. I’m currently a stay at home mom, and my kids are in school or summer camps most days! My best hours are between 9am and 3pm, with “tuck in” availability after 7:30pm. I’d be happy to accommodate your pet’s usual schedule as much as possible and stick to familiar routines to reduce the stress they feel without you there with them.
“Amy and Cooper seem to hit it off since meeting last week. Amy is very responsible and pays attention to detail. She always comes ready to give Cooper a fun time on outings!”
“Merlin loves when Candace comes over and he continues to do well with her! Today he finally allowed her to walk him. They didn’t venture too far, to keep him comfortable. I’m hopeful Merlin will continue to improve!”
About: I have taken care of neighbors and friends pets for years. I have been trusted with feeding, walking, bathing, and loving their pets. I am passionate about providing a safe and comfortable atmosphere for pets while their parents are away! I am currently a student, so I would love to hang out with your pet as a study break! My schedule varies week by week, but I will do my best to accommodate your needs. I love to play, walk, and run with my beagle. And when she’s worn out, I love to lay on the couch with her! This extends to all pets. I love playing with them and making sure they get their energy out…and cuddling with them when they’re tired! I adhere to whatever feeding schedule is desired and I constantly ensure they have water!
About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember.. Growing up with everything from cats and dogs to rabbits, spiders, ferrets and even the occasional rescue critter. Caring for animals has always come naturally to me, and I truly feel at home when I’m surrounded by furry friends. I absolutely adore cats! Their quirky personalities & quiet cuddles melt my heart & I love the energy & companionship dogs bring. Whether it’s playtime, long walks, or just keeping your pet company while you’re away, I treat every animal with the same love & care I give my own. My schedule has its quirks, but it works in your pet’s favor! Tuesdays and Thursdays are actually my most flexible days, perfect for morning and evening walks or extended hangouts with your furry companion. As a full-time grad student and part-time social worker, my hours can be a little unpredictable but I always make time for what matters. Even with a busy calendar, caring for animals is a priority I never push aside. Whether it’s a midday drop-in or a sunset stroll, I’m happy to fit in the love and attention your pet deserves. Safety, trust, and a calm environment are at the heart of the care I provide. Whether I’m coming to your home for a walk, a cuddle session, or staying for an overnight house sit, I treat your space and your pets with the utmost respect and care. I know how important it is to feel confident leaving your furry family member in someone else’s hands, and I take that responsibility seriously. I follow any routines you’ve set, keep their environment clean and peaceful, and make sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved at all times. Whether it’s daily check-ins, long walks, or overnight companionship, I show up with patience, attention, and genuine care.
“Emmalee has taken the time to get to know our dog and he has taken to her very quickly and he is a very sensitive soul so that speaks volumes! Really happy and relaxed knowing she is caring for him, would definitely recommend.”
“Hannah was fantastic! She started the rover card once the girls began the walk and that was thoughtful- she made the most of the time for our girls. Mila and Hartley thoroughly enjoyed their time with Hannah and we looking forward to using her again in the future!”
“Jora was great! Both of our fur babies loved her immediately. She helped us on pretty short notice which was awesome, too! Jora kept us up to date with pictures & a sweet message during both her visits.”

Museums dog parents share their Rover experiences
Tatum was extremely helpful and sweet for looking out for my two dogs especially on short notice! She was great with following all of my instructions and I couldn’t be more grateful to have her walk my dogs! I would highly recommend Tatum to anyone looking for a new dog walker!
William is the absolute BEST. Our 2 yr old Lucy loved him. She got so excited when he came to walk her. William is a very easy going, calm, gentle and overall good person who obviously connects well and quickly with animals. I highly recommend him and his quality. Your furry friend will be in excellent hands.
We've used Rover a few times previously and Bridgette was the best yet! She was so quick to respond and very flexible with our schedule (even being last minute). Our pup can be a bit vocal and hard to warm up to strangers but he loved Bridgette from the get go and she kept up with his active lifestyle! 11/10 will be reaching out again
I couldn't be happier with the care my pets babies receive from our wonderful sitter. She is incredibly reliable, always showing up when expected and following through on every request with attention and dedication. What truly sets her apart is the genuine love and compassion she shows for my pets—they adore her, and I can see they feel safe and happy in her care. She consistently goes above and beyond, doing everything I ask with great care and responsibility. She's also flexible, which has been a lifesaver more than once when my schedule changed unexpectedly. Most importantly, I trust her completely—both with my beloved pets and in my home. I’m truly grateful to have found someone so trustworthy and caring, and I look forward to a long relationship with her. Highly recommend!
Max is my dog’s favorite! I started a new job that requires a much longer commute, so he’s been walking Junie every week day for a couple of weeks now. He is very responsive, arrives on time, sends pictures, and is very patient with my neurotic dog. She loves Max! I highly recommend him!
I can’t say enough good things about Sydney! While I was out of town, she took incredible care of my dog, sending me regular updates and the sweetest pictures. My dog always looked so happy and relaxed in every photo, which made me feel completely at ease. It’s clear she genuinely cares, not just about the job, but about the animals she looks after. Knowing my dog was in such loving hands gave me real peace of mind. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and kind to care for their pet!
