We love having Chad come walk our dog regularly throughout the week. He’s very communicative, dependable, and takes really great pictures of our dog and our kitty when she pops out to say hi. We highly recommend him for any pet sitting/walking needs, he’s been wonderful to us.

Rachel came and met me at my house for a walkthrough. She is very sweet with my dog. She was a trooper even when my pup had an accident. Thank you Rachel and Rover for peace of mind.

About: I absolutely love animals! I grew up in a home full of dogs and cats, and helping care for them was such a big part of my life growing up. I now have a cat of my own, my fur baby, Fish 🐱 I recently graduated from PA school and won’t be starting my job until August, which means I have lots of availability this summer! Spending my days with animals honestly sounds like the perfect way to spend the season. I’d love the opportunity to care for and spend time with your pets! (: I don’t start work until August, so I have a pretty open schedule and lots of availability! I do have one week-long vacation planned this summer, but aside from that, my schedule is very flexible. I’d prefer to handle most pet care during the week, but I’m available on weekends as well! 😊 It’s a single-story home, so I’m always nearby and able to keep a close eye on any pets in the house. We also have a fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor time and play!

About: I have been around dogs my whole life. I take pride in showing them love and attention to make them feel at ease while their humans are away. I am currently working part time with a flexible schedule so I have plenty of time to fit in caring for fur babies. I am also fully mobile. I have a great attention to detail and am committed to mine/your pets well being. Making sure fresh food and water is available, playtime is extremely important as well as maintaining their routine as close as possible. Keeping an eye on any changes in behavior, appetite and bathroom habits. Providing plenty of love and affection which can also help in reducing any stress and anxiety.

About: I've taken care of family dogs, both large and small, since around age twelve. In high school I also cared for a bird, as well as part of my adulthood. In early adulthood I worked for three years as a professional dog handler and dog walker for a company in New York City. I am accustomed to reading dogs body language and keeping them safe and feeling secure. I've lived with cats in more recent years and have consistently been hired to cat sit for neighbors. I am comfortable with elder pets, administering medications, and helping anxious pets feel more comfortable at home and out in the world. I also have some experience with smaller mammals (rabbits, guinea pigs, domestic rats) as well as some farm animals. I am a full-time grad student, so my schedule is much more flexible than a 9-5 worker. That said, at the moment I can only take care of pets who can be alone for at least four hours at a time during the week because of my class schedule (weekends I'm more flexible). You can depend on me to safely enter and exit your home with care for security and cleanliness, and I'd always touch base with you for any concerns. I'm also disabled by long-COVID and take many COVID mitigations (still masking), so I'd be safer for immunocompromised clients. For drop-in visits and popping into your home for a dog walk, I will be masked. For pet sitting overnight, I'm always happy to take a COVID test—just let me know!

I gave the wrong address by mistake, and Rachel still took the time to go to the correct one to let my dog out. She truly went above and beyond, and I’m incredibly grateful.

About: Dogs are ALWAYS allowed on furniture. They will get tons of play time and if they are really active, they can go with me on some hikes! I work remotely so there will always be someone at home with them. Plenty of potty breaks and head scratches! Whatever they need, they will get! I work from home so someone will always be with them. There is a large park across the street that I will take them too if they need to get some energy out. They will be well taken care of!

Autumn did a great job caring for my two dogs. One of my dogs is elderly and has several medical problems. Autumn was very capable and comfortable with this. I will definitely trust her again in the future with my fur-babies.

About: Over the years, I’ve gained a lot of hands-on experience with pet care, and I’ve been around dogs since I was young. From drop in visits to dog walks, I enjoy working with dogs. Young or old, playful or calm, I will enjoy spending time with them. If there is anything that I excel at, it's keeping your dog from getting bored and staying active. We can play rough, go for long walks, tug on a rope, you name it. I have plenty of time available across my week, especially in the mornings, evenings and open availability on the weekend. Please contact me for the specifics and I'm sure that I will be able to flex my schedule. For drop in visits, I will follow the necessary care you believe I should provide for your pet's individual and specific needs. I believe that every dog is different, so please tell me everything I need to know about them. Things like health, behavioral tendencies, and history are essential to provide the best care. I will always be mindful of house rules during your pet's visit as well.

Isabel was very flexible. My address was in rover incorrectly and she made the effort to still complete the walk with my dog. Not to mention she also grabbed our package from our old apartment. She went above and beyond.

About: I grew up with 2 medium sized springer spaniels and have had multiple cats my whole life. I love getting outside and being active but also have experience cat/dog/house sitting for multiple week periods. I am currently on the job hunt for a full time role, so my schedule is open and flexible for your needs and expectations. I enjoy being active as well, so that is something I work into my schedule daily. I currently have a 10 month old kitten, I always clean his water bowl each day and ensure his food bowl is always filled (he isn’t incentivized by food quite yet! Haha). He has a robo litter box that I maintain as well.

Shaelyn is amazing! She was very communicative and did a wonderful job walking my two pups 2x a week, who aren’t always the easiest. One is still in training and tends to pull on the leash, but Shaelyn has been so patient and meets my dogs where they are. I highly recommend her!

At the last minute I realized that everyone in our household would be working the full day away from home and our pup Joey would need someone to come take him out midday. I reached out to Maddie and she was able to accommodate, even with short notice. She was able to confirm and came and took Joey for a walk in the early afternoon. She gave a detailed summary of her time with Joey as well. I appreciate Maddie for the willingness to help on short notice and the care she gives Joey!
