“Brandy is amazing! I didn’t update my address on Rover and it sent her to my old spot and she still drove to my current address and walked him for me. I would 10/10 recommend her and will continue to use her services when needed. Thank you, Brandy, for taking such good care of my baby. 🥰”


About: I've had both small and large dogs since I was a kid. My sister had a Golden Retriever service dog most of my childhood and I was able to pick up on dog behaviors very quickly. I currently have a 7 month old miniature dachshund named Ozzy who I have raised and trained since 8 weeks old. I'm very comfortable with puppies and can crate your pet if necessary! I am able to devote my entire day to making your pet comfy! I can also run out and take your pet's on a walk, pretty much any time of day! I have a full fenced backyard and a 2 bedroom house that can be used to separate animals as necessary! I will have my dog and two adult cats around who are happy to give a new friend a cuddle or an engaging play time!


“Cara did an awesome job with my pup! She was super responsive and enthusiastic about taking my girl on a walk. I even got a sweet picture to boot. I'm very pleased - thanks, Cara!”


“Annabelle was great with my 2 dogs! There were no issues at all, I had a worry free vacation knowing that the dogs would be well looked after while I was away. Thanks again!”


“Marissa takes great care Juno, communicates thoroughly with me, and has jumped in when we’re in need of a good walker last minute. Highly recommend Marissa!”


“Friendly! Max enjoyed his walks. She had water for him too.”


“Heather was the first dog walker I've ever hired to walk my dog Molasses. In the beginning I was pretty nervous since I didn't know how Lass would do with someone else walking her and having a new person in my apartment while I was gone. Heather was great because she offered to do a meet and great before out 1st scheduled walk to make Lass and myself feel comfortable. I'm so grateful for this meet up! Lass loves Heather and their walks. Between the super cute photos I get and the love that my dog receives, I couldn't ask for a better walker!”

“Meg was absolutely wonderful with Mika. She clearly loves animals and was patient with my senior dog. She was communicative, reliable and sent cute pics. Greatly appreciate her!”


About: With a strong sense for dog body language and behavior, I naturally bond with dogs and know how to keep them engaged, playful, and calm. Whether it’s a high-energy pup or a senior companion, I tailor their care to suit their needs and give them a fulfilling, well-balanced day. My schedule allows me to maintain consistent routines for feeding, training, sleep, and potty breaks. I offer a variety of experiences from city parks to nature hikes, giving dogs exposure to a diverse range of settings. I also provide basic training support including crate, leash/off-leash, recall, sport-based games like fetch and frisbee, and even task-based and obedience exercises—skills I’ve developed through 10+ years of experience with dogs from puppyhood to senior stages. As a graduate student currently on summer break, my schedule is wide open—and I’ve intentionally structured my time to prioritize pet care. I’m available for care throughout the day, whether that means early-morning walks, mid-day play sessions, or overnight sitting. My flexibility allows me to tailor routines around your dog’s unique needs, whether they’re energetic and need lots of stimulation or prefer a slower, calmer pace. I spend much of my time outdoors, and I love incorporating dogs into that lifestyle—hiking scenic trails, visiting off-leash parks, or just taking long neighborhood walks. I believe dogs thrive when they experience new encounters, and I work those moments of enrichment into every week. I live in a spacious, first-floor apartment with direct access to a secure patio and a neighborhood dog park—just steps outside my door. This makes potty breaks, quick outdoor play/walks, and socialization seamless and stress-free. Every day, our neighborhood hosts friendly dog meetups with well-behaved pups, offering perfect opportunities for your dog to engage with others in a safe environment. Inside my home, dogs will find a clean, calm, and organized space with plenty of enrichment. I have a variety of toys, training tools, puzzles, and games to ensure your dog stays mentally and physically stimulated—the goal is for no boredom and anxiety. I also keep a full range of grooming and cleaning supplies on hand, so whether your dog needs a simple wipe-down or a post-adventure bath, I’ve got it covered. I am well-versed in training methods and behavior management, so if your pup has specific routines or commands, I likely already have the knowledge and equipment to maintain their structure. I’m happy to reinforce crate training, leash manners, or any custom instructions you provide to ensure consistency while you’re away. I also have a well-socialized golden retriever mix who’s incredibly calm, friendly, and trained to model great behavior for other dogs. If your dog enjoys companionship, mine makes an excellent playmate. If needed, I can crate or separate the dogs for one-on-one attention or downtime—your dog’s comfort and safety always come first.

“I would highly recommend Abby! She was very responsive and took great care of our pup. We received updates and pictures while we were away which was very much appreciated. It's always hard to leave our dog, but felt she was in good hands with Abby!”

“Sarah was wonderful with my dog and also fantastic to work with! She is extremely responsive and reliable. Her communication is excellent (including lots of details and photos after each walk)! I will happily book her again!”



“July walked our pup on last minute notice and proceeded to be so helpful! We ask her every chance we need somebody and I couldn’t say enough good things!”


About: I’ve been honored to call a tabby cat named Gata and a pit bull named Louie my best friends in this lifetime. I know how much your fur babies mean to you because I know how much mine mean to me and I will do everything I can to ensure their safety, comfort, and happiness! I am experienced with other animal reactive pets and understand how these special buddies require patience, love, and understanding. Rest assured that as a social worker, I have endless patience and compassion to give to your fur babies. I look forward to becoming your pet’s newest best friend! I work full time and my schedule changes a bit but I can usually accommodate walks/drop ins before 9am and after 7pm. Afternoon walks/drop ins can be accommodated, we'll just need to discuss the best time for them. Because my schedule is a bit more unique, I'm big on communication and am open to discuss in advance any scheduling preferences. I am only offering drop in and walking services at the moment so I can give your pups and kitties some direct love, play, and attention in the comfort of their own home and environment.

“We loved Mariia taking care of our pets for the week. She fed our cat and walked the dog twice a day- was always on time, clearly communicated, and was always friendly and professional. I would trust her in my home anytime.”


“Del was so wonderful and took such good care of my pup for the weekend!”


“Beth walked my dog while I was out of town and my dog was staying with my friend. She did a great job. She met with me beforehand and texted me everyday letting me know how it went.”


About: I have more than two decades of experience taking care of my own cats and dogs. Additionally I have been a pet sitter for several of my friends, relatives, and neighbors over the years. I'm available most mornings between 8:30 and 11 and most evenings between 8 and 10. There will usually be one or two days a week when I'm available all day. I do not currently care for clients' pets in my home because I have pets of my own. When caring for pets in clients' home, I like to ask the clients about their rules and routines and follow those.

About: I’ve taken care of pets my whole life- with experience ranging from puppies to older animals 16+. I also have experience with birds! I am comfortable with administering daily medication and post surgical care as well. I have a flexible daily schedule for any pet care needs that arise during the week or on the weekend. Available for short visits, walks, or play care in my home. Would also be comfortable taking care of your pet in their own environment. I have two private fenced yards available that are shaded by large trees, mowed zoysia grass, and a large and clean play area that is turfed. Pets are welcome both inside and outside throughout the day. I am able to let pets out for potty breaks and walks in their own home throughout the day as well.

About: One dog or a few. Cats, let’s go! I’m here to help out and be your left-hand when life pulls you away. I’ll always send you an update after our meets, so you feel confident and secure in my service. I'm currently working part-time and have plenty of time to care for your pet. Right now I am open to all times/days and homestays if needed. I am very active and love to travel - so I understand the need for a secure sitter you can feel confident about. I am a dog mom myself and he only deserves the best. If you have an energetic dog or a farm that you need to be watched for a long weekend I'm your person.

North Loop dog parents share their Rover experiences
Marcella is the best! She did an awesome job walking my guy Jackson multiple times a day and giving him his meds and making me feel comfortable while I was gone. Highly recommend!

Becky is great! When she couldn’t get into the house, she waited patiently for 30 mins until I responded. Highly recommend her! My shy cat even felt comfortable enough to come out :)

Charles is a great dog walker! He is very responsible and reliable and handles my energetic dogs well!

Wow - Joey was sincerely the greatest. His meet and greet was very comforting, and we face a lot of information. He made careful note of it all and then sent a summary message to me in river as we got closer to the trip if all the things I had discussed. We were then continuously at ease about pers as the days away went on. I love the rover app showing the walk distance and time spent. The videos he sent were really fun to watch, and he always gave a digestible but detailed report after each visit, again being careful to mention many of my notes throughout reassuring me that all was being handled. It was our first time to leave the dogs home alone and I am very happy with the exceptional care Joey took of my pets. We are new clients for sure.

Brandy is amazing! I didn’t update my address on Rover and it sent her to my old spot and she still drove to my current address and walked him for me. I would 10/10 recommend her and will continue to use her services when needed. Thank you, Brandy, for taking such good care of my baby. 🥰

Thanks for taking such great care of Billy! I’ll be sure to reload the poop bags next time! Sorry you ran out! Appreciate the clear communication and photos!!

Victoria gave Teddy such a great walk this morning! Victoria was on time and very conscientious about her walk with my scaredy-cat dog!

Michael is so good with our animals! He walked our dog, but also was super friendly with our 2 cats. He's super responsive, and is always sending cute pictures. I'd recommend Michael to anyone needing pet sitting or dog walking!

Sarah was wonderful with my dog and also fantastic to work with! She is extremely responsive and reliable. Her communication is excellent (including lots of details and photos after each walk)! I will happily book her again!

The fur babies are so happy, thanks a ton Nevaeh for keeping Storm clean & brushed through the rain this weekend! You’re wonderful! So very appreciated 🤗🐶

Jamie is amazing and takes great care of Luna. She’s professional, reliable and actively communicates. She is patient with my senior dog and cares for her like one of her own. 5 stars Highly Recommend

Morgan was excellent! She gave me detailed summaries, and asked thoughtful questions during our meet n greet. She knows what she’s doing!

Kiersten was patient with me when I had to change dates last minute. She did great with the dogs and will definitely book her again!

Clair is a great sitter! She came by to meet my dog and go on a walk with us to get familiar with him. She was patient and easy to speak to. She cares about dogs and wants to get to know them well to provide good care I’m excited to have her walk my dog in the future because I know he will be safe and loved! Thanks a bunch Clair🩵

Erica provided amazing care. She is a great communicator and went above my expectations for my senior pup. I highly recommend her!

Suzanne has been our first experience with Rover and the entire experience has been outstanding. They say that dogs are a good judge of character. If that is the case, then Suzanne is absolutely amazing! Beau LOVES Suzanne. You can tell that she genuinely cares for him. She spends extra time with him before and after their walk. She brushes his hair and sits on the floor, petting and talking to him. My husband and I are having health issues and Suzanne has helped us in many, many ways. I highly recommend Suzanne. She is diligent, very responsible, caring and compassionate. Thank you, Rover, for connecting us with Suzanne.
