“Nikki does such a great job with my dog. She prioritizes safety and I am so grateful for that! She has been especially great during these very cold winter days, reading my dog’s body language and taking him inside for indoor play when she notices that he is not tolerating the temperature well.”


About: Animals have always been a massive part of my life. From lifelong companionship with my own dogs and cats to pet sitting for close friends and family, I know what it takes to keep pets happy and safe at home. I have worked with dogs for a long time, which has taught me strong animal body language skills, patience, and the importance of a strict feeding schedule. I treat every animal I visit with the same dedication I give to my own fur babies. I am available daily, making pet care my top priority. My flexible schedule easily accommodates last minute requests, strict feeding times, and multiple daily drop-ins. I provide dedicated pet care right at your doorstep, ensuring your animals stay safe and relaxed in their own space. I am highly detail oriented and committed to maintaining a secure, familiar routine for your animals. My experience allows me to easily adapt to your pet's specific needs, giving you total peace of mind.

About: I've owned three dogs in the past 20 years. A greyhound (rescue), a border collie/retriever mix (rescue) and a chihuahua. Each one unique in their personality, energy level and needs, giving me a broad understanding of dog care. I recently retired and can't think of a better way to spend some of my free time, than with pups. I'm available M-F, and we could probably negotiate some weekends if needed. I love taking dogs for walks. We frequently walked our dogs at Kolapechka park and utilized the dog play areas. I could do the same for yours. Open to broadening my services to include overnight stays in my home once a bond/trust is developed between myself and your pet.

“To whom it may concern: I am writing to highly recommend Kim. She was exceptionally reliable and always showed up each day at our agreed-upon time, with no last-minute cancellations or calls. She is very pleasant and personable, and she genuinely seemed to enjoy walking our 20 lb. Italian Greyhound. Our dog always looked forward to his daily walks with her. I recommend her services without hesitation. Best regards, Mark Rittoper”
“Robert has been walking my dog Roman three times a week for the past few weeks, and it’s been a fantastic experience. He’s always on time, sends a photo and quick update after each walk, and clearly takes great care with Roman. He’s also been really flexible—willing to adjust the schedule when needed, which has been a huge help. It’s a relief to know Roman is in such good hands. I highly recommend Robert to anyone looking for a reliable and professional dog walker!”

About: Hi, I’m Michelle! I bring over 50 years of hands-on experience working with animals of all ages, sizes, and personalities. As a former veterinary technician, I’m comfortable with everything from giving medications to caring for senior pets and puppies who need extra attention. I know how to spot signs of stress, discomfort, or illness early, and I treat every pet like they’re part of my family. Whether it’s playtime, snuggles, training reinforcement, or simply making sure your furry friend feels safe and loved, I go the extra mile to keep tails wagging and owners at ease. Caring for animals has always been part of my daily routine — it’s second nature to me! I work full-time, but my evenings (after 5pm), Tuesdays, and weekends are dedicated to spending quality time with pets. At home, I share my life with two sweet cats of my own, so there’s never a day that doesn’t involve a little extra love, play, or purring. I also volunteer regularly at my local cat sanctuary, so even when I’m not with Rover pets, I’m surrounded by whiskers, paws, and wagging tails. Pet care isn’t just something I do — it’s truly who I am. I specialize in caring for pets right where they’re most comfortable — in their home! This means your pets get to stick to their normal routine, sleep in their favorite spots, and enjoy all the comforts they’re used to. Whether I’m stopping by for a quick check-in, feeding, playtime, or walks, or staying overnight to keep your pets company, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. My focus is on giving them the kind of attention and care they’d get if you were home yourself.

About: I have had many pets since I was young and enjoy caring for them. I love all animals and look forward to meeting new animal friends! Currently a full time stay at home dad / part time paramedic. I have plenty of spare time to help out anyone who needs pet care assistance. I have a 1/4 acre yard unfenced that I let my dog and cat play around in. They are both trained to not run away, so I can have any other pets leashed and keep an eye on them without having to worry too much about my own pets. I can crate if needed/preferred.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was a kid. I was always the one to clean up after them and ensure they had new toys and a clean space to enjoy.

I currently have 3 dogs and a fish and a toddler. When walking my dogs, I usually take all 3 and make sure I am aware of my surroundings due to have frenchies I am always extra cautious.
About: I (Eren) have been a veterinary technician since 2023, working in a variety of settings including a clinic, shelter, and university research hospital caring for special-needs dogs. Through this experience, I’m comfortable with medical care, senior pets, administering medications, recognizing early signs of illness, and handling animals with unique behavioral needs. I’ve also had animals my entire life, from cats and dogs to exotics, so I understand how different every species (and every personality!) can be. I’m patient, gentle, and confident with shy or anxious animals, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. My partner Luca is also part of our Rover profile and shares this same passion for animal care. We have multiple pets together and work as a team to provide attentive, reliable care. Luca previously worked at the same clinic I’m at as a receptionist and veterinary assistant, and now works in a science lab where he also helps care for lab animals. His experience makes him calm, capable, and very comfortable handling a wide range of animals. What sets us apart is that we combine professional veterinary experience with genuine, everyday love for animals. Between the two of us, your pets will always have attentive, knowledgeable, and compassionate care. We currently have cats, ferrets, mice and 1 bearded dragon of our own, and we hold ourselves to the same high standard of care that we would want for them. Pet care fits naturally into our weekly routine because animals have always been a huge part of our lives. I work full-time, but I schedule my Rover services around my work hours so that every visit gets my full attention. I’m typically available before or after work for drop-ins, walks, and evening check-ins, and I always communicate clearly about my availability. My partner Luca helps provide additional flexibility. He is a full-time student and works part-time in a lab, with a schedule that tends to stay consistent for longer periods. Because our schedules often complement each other, one of us is usually available when the other is not. This allows us to offer more consistent and reliable care throughout the day. Even with busy schedules, caring for animals is something we both genuinely enjoy and make time for, and we never take on more than we can fully commit to. We primarily care for pets in our clients’ homes, where they feel safest and most comfortable. As a veterinary technician, safety is always my first priority. We follow your pet’s normal routines closely, including feeding, medications, walks, and playtime, while also keeping an eye out for any early signs of stress or illness. We’re respectful of your home, trustworthy with your space, and committed to creating a calm, clean environment for your pets while you’re away. We provide regular updates, photos, and honest communication so you always know how your pet is doing.

Very pleased and will definitely be using Avery in the future. Colt can be odd with certain people and can not be by other dogs, super nervous about having a dog walker but Avery made me feel comfortable and relieved. Colt wagged his tail every day when Avery showed up and the walks seemed to go smoothly with no issues!

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
