“Tim helped me with the care of my two dogs while I was out of town and my husband had some long work days. The dogs absolutely loved him and he updated me every visit with pictures and told me how they were doing. I will definitely be asking Tim to watch my boys in the future!”

About: I'm an animal lover who's new to Rover and excited to start offering dog walking and drop-in visits! I am very calm, responsible and safety-focused. You can expect clear communication, reliable timing, and photo updates every visit! I am currently focused on dog walking and drop-in visits. I'm available Tuesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays between 3-10 pm. I am reliable, punctual, and happy to set up consistent weekly walks or evening check-ins! Safety is my top priority. I always follow pet parents' instructions carefully, including leash/harness preferences, walking routes, feeding guidelines, and home rules. I'm very careful with doors and gates, keep dogs securely leashed at all times unless otherwise instructed, and I pay attention to body language to keep walks calm and safe.
“Karolly stepped in at the last minute when it normal dog walker cancelled on us and she was amazing and sent us lots of pictures of her visit with our dog. I can definitely recommend her!!!”

“Anthony was great with Bella! He was responsive, sent photos, and always kept me updated with everything. I highly recommend booking with Anthony, I know I will in the future.”

“Eunice went above and beyond with my Tev! She came back the second day even though Tevi was having a hard time during the first visit. Eunice was amazing and very communicative.”

“Andres took good care of my two cats; they looked happily fed and were sitting nicely in all the pics! He was also flexible with timing, which I appreciated.”

“Sofia did a wonderful job caring for our cats and fish. We are so grateful she was able to help our family during the holidays while we were out of town. One of our naughty critters jumped on top of the fridge and opened the freezer in the process. If not for Sofia being there, we would have a melted freezer and a huge electric bill! She’s also very sweet, personable, and responsible. We are so thankful for having found a reliable pet sitter close by!”

“Demin is a wonderful sitter. Not only did she make me feel comfortable leaving my kitten for the first time, but she consistently updating me on how she was, what she was up to, and her other care needs. My kitten, Mocha, was very comfortable with her. I would definitely rehire her again when I need a sitter!”

“Gabby is absolutely amazing! She came and took care of my two cats twice a day for two weeks while we were on vacation. She provided great updates, followed all instructions, and we came home to very happy and well taken care of cats! I would recommend her to all”

“This was Namira's second time watching my elderly dog, who added two pills since our last visit, and has been starting to struggle with joints. She was engaged and made sure to check in with me when he was potentially having a bad day so I could evaluate and I could feel confident he was in good hands once again.”

“Morgan did a wonderful job of taking care of Francie and Neeley This trip was the longest I had been away from them. I came home to healthy and friendly cats! I could tell they had missed me but weren't lonely while I was gone”

About: I grew up with a family dog for 13 years, which taught me the long-term care, patience, and responsibility dogs need at every stage of life. After that, I lived abroad in Portugal where I gained over 2 years of hands-on experience dog sitting and walking, caring for dogs of different sizes, personalities, and routines. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, daily walks, playtime, and making sure each dog feels safe and loved while their owner is away. I’ve also cared for dogs of friends and family, which has made me adaptable to different temperaments. What sets me apart is that I truly treat every dog like my own. I’m reliable, attentive, and always keep owners updated for peace of mind. I currently have full availability. I can provide flexible scheduling, consistent attention, regular walks, and companionship throughout the day, ensuring each dog gets the care, time, and affection they need. My building has a designated dog walking area, and there are nearby parks. I provide a safe, supervised home environment for boarding dogs. They’ll have full access to my apartment and are welcome to relax with me on the couch/bed or wherever they feel most comfortable.

Diana was amazing! She was super communicative, followed all of my care instructions, and showed my cat Figgy so much love. I get anxious whenever I travel and have to leave Figgy alone, and Diana made me feel so much better with how much care and attention she paid to Figgy. She sent plenty of videos as well to help me feel assured. Would highly recommend!

Anna was amazing and everything we were looking for in a sitter. Timely, communicative, and even got our scaredy cat to come out and socialize a bit (which was way more than we expected!). Would absolutely recommend Anna and will be utilizing her services again in the future

Yingyu was amazing! She even came by in person beforehand to introduce herself and meet the dogs before the drop-in visits, which I really appreciated. She followed all of my instructions, sent lots of pictures and updates, and made sure to spend time playing with my puppies. They seemed to absolutely love her! I’m so grateful she was able to help on such short notice, and I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone caring and reliable to watch their pets.

Tim helped me with the care of my two dogs while I was out of town and my husband had some long work days. The dogs absolutely loved him and he updated me every visit with pictures and told me how they were doing. I will definitely be asking Tim to watch my boys in the future!

Paola was absolutely wonderful! She agreed to take care of my cat, Tinker, last minute for the weekend, and I’m so grateful she was able to help. Tinker was clearly very well cared for, which gave me such peace of mind while I was away. Paola also sent me the most beautiful pictures of her seriously, photos I couldn’t have taken that well myself! 🥹🐾 It was so nice getting those updates and seeing Tinker happy and comfortable. I would absolutely trust Paola with her again and will definitely be using her in the future. Highly recommend! ❤️
