“Kim was amazing! I’m a first time dog mom and was so nervous. She did great meeting Jake and really knew the best way to introduce herself to him! She gave updates and photos which helped ease my nerves. Highly highly recommend her to everyone and anyone!”


“I am Brooke’s first client with Rover and I definitely won’t be her last! She was a delight to have stay in my house with my three dogs. She took especially amazing care of my 16 year old who is blind and mostly deaf and still managed played all day with our other 2 pups. I received many photos and videos without prompt. We will definitely be asking Brooke back to help us out when we travel. Highly recommend her!”



“Tanya was wonderful! Our pups absolutely loved her and she sent us sweet pictures and updates at least twice a day. We normally feel nervous leaving our pups, but we saw how much fun they had with her and how much she loved them, so we felt relieved to find someone we could trust. Will definitely use her again!”


“Sara was fantastic! Her communication was spot-on and kept us perfectly updated on Frisbee. We’re at the tail end of a kitchen remodel, and she was incredibly accommodating despite the less-than-ideal circumstances. We’ll absolutely be using her again.”


About: With years of experience as a professional dog walker, I’ve built strong bonds with dogs of all temperaments, ensuring their safety and happiness on every outing. My time as a shelter volunteer, working closely with dogs labeled as “more difficult,” has honed my skills in handling unique behavioral needs with patience and care. Additionally, my personal journey fostering and rescuing animals has deepened my understanding of their emotional and physical needs, making me a compassionate and reliable caregiver for your pets. I work from home full-time so I am very flexible in my availability to care for your pet whenever needed! This also allows me to provide as many potty breaks as your pet needs. As a seasoned professional dog walker and shelter volunteer with a focus on challenging dogs, I bring my expertise to provide exceptional care for your pets, whether in my home or yours. My extensive experience with rescue and foster animals equips me to create a nurturing, safe environment tailored to each dog’s unique needs. With a deep understanding of behavior and a commitment to their well-being, I ensure your pets feel loved and secure, offering personalized attention and care in any setting.

“Janeth was extremely attentive and kind. She frequently sent pictures and let me know if she was running low on anything for the pups. I would definitely love to work with her in the future!”


About: Hi there! You can call me Joy :) when I care for your pet I will send you updates with pictures and can communicate every good, not so good, and/or boring detail with you! I do not hesitate to ask for clarification on anything when it comes to the needs of you and your pet. I am also happy to help you with any other house chores while you are away (collecting mail, watering plants, etc). I find it important to set up a meet and greet with you and your pet if possible. When I care for your pet I understand that I am in the space they call home. Building trust with you and your pet is an important first step for me to provide the best services for your needs. In 2018 I adopted a dog of my own and she is my world! I adopted my dog through Best Friends Animal Shelter and she came with little to no background information. She was fearful and showed signs of a traumatized past. I had to train a puppy during the “T-Rex” phase (RIP many articles of clothing and furniture legs” and learned that several rounds of fetch will only slow a working dog for about 20 min before they’re ready to go again. The biggest skill I learned when adopting my dog was handling her reactivity. She was the sweetest girl at home, mostly shy in the beginning and hesitant to come out of her shell. So it was a huge shock when taking her out on her first few walks to see her lunge and pull with all her might towards everything and everyone that passed by. Her size and breed made it especially stressful and embarrassing and there were many days where I felt like I couldn’t handle it. With a lot of patience and treats and maybe also some crying Kona came out of her first year at home a thriving happy girl! Bringing her home was one of the most challenging experiences of my life but watching her grow and blossom into the silly, loving pup she is has been the greatest reward. I have a set schedule at my part time job and can establish morning/afternoon/night schedules around it. I am also in the process of applying for grad school and would love to prioritize pet care as my main job if possible, I am eager to build a clientele! As the owner of a reactive dog I am comfortable reading behavioral cues that may indicate if your pet is in need of extra support, attention, or space.


“Amanda watched our dog for a last minute trip and took great care of him. She was very communicative during the visit. Comforting to know he was in good hands while we were away. We will definitely use Amanda again!”

“Tamara was such a wonderful dog sitter for our sweet boy, Wallace. She was very communicative and sent so many cute videos and photos!! She even made a trip to TJ Maxx for some blankets for our boy, to help alleve some of his anxiety. We appreciated her so much and would absolutely have her stay over again.”


“Erika was wonderful! She took such good care of my girl (Rosie - a golden doodle)...took her on walks, watched movies with her (my dog loves to cuddle and watch tv), played with her and more.

About: So many friends and neighbors wanted me to take care of their dogs when i was just a kid cause they knew that i can understand their language. I have experiences with puppies and senior care. I know that all doggies need different care. I am very good at potty training and obedience training. I also have first aid training🤍 Please read the following before booking either of these services: Day Care means: Between 0-10 hours Boarding means: Between 10-24 hours For summer period i am free every day and i can start working really early if my client needs. I don’t like to go for walks so late for me and my client’s safety. I have fenced yard house and i don’t have animals at my house. I only walk with leash, sometimes dogs see rabbits or squirrels and chase after them. We don’t want anyone to get hurt or scared 🫶🏻

“Maryan took such great care of my 2 dachshund boys. One is a puppy and the other is a very sweet adult prone to separation anxiety and they both loved her. We were gone for 2 weeks and we came home to very happy and relaxed boys. She took special attention to detail and everything went smoothly with both the dogs and house sitting. Our home was clean and tidy when we returned as well. 10 out 10, will definitely have Maryan care for our fur babies in the future.”


“My cat needs especial treatment due to his urinary issue. Leyla did a great job, feeding him on time with the exact instruction I asked her plus the medication. I recommend her to ALL cat's parents!”


About: I've had all ranges of animals from dogs, cats, fish, turtles, and bunnies, and even worked on a farm in high school! I love all animals and am passionate about their care and well-being, and they are my happy place. I have experience in caring for senior animals and babies as well. I have pets at my home, so I am always around animals and care for them daily. I can take care of pets outside of my job pretty much anytime since my schedule fluctuates and I work part-time as well, so I can be flexible towards your needs! :) I make sure the animals have food and water and enrichment time, which is essential for their development and mental stimulation! Making sure to take my dogs to the dog park or playing fetch with them outside, and my cat also likes to play fetch too indoors, and she loves her cat boxes and cat trees! Providing for them is what I do with my life! I pretty much work for them lol

About: Dogs have been loved and cared for in my family since I can remember. When I was a young girl, I had a Labrador Retriever that gave birth to ten puppies. It really strengthened and solidified my love for dogs. Currently, we have a Staffordshire Bull Terrier named Cookie. She's full of love, personality and independence. We adopted her in March of 2019 and we are so lucky to have her as part of our family. She's one of the best dogs that's been a part of our family. I'm a mom of four young men, have had dogs all my life and have a lot of love to share. I look forward to spending time with your dog and taking he or she for walks with some social stimulation and being one with nature. I love dogs so much!! Whenever I can be with doggies who love to walk, have fun and be loved, life indeed has true balance. We walk our dog, Cookie, at least twice a day, either around the neighborhood, at the park or on a hike. Always make sure she has fresh water, delicious food and lots of love.

About: I have had many pets since I was a kid such as cats, dogs, parrots, bunnies and even iguanas as well as taken care of pets from family members and friends. Moreover, I have taken care of my cat since he was a kitten 4 years ago and fallen further in love with cats ever since. Fun fact I trained him to use the toilet! I am very exited to become your cat(s) and dog(s) new friend, take care of them, play and most importantly show them affection and everything I’ve learned about animals. I am also open to other animals and learn in the process as new knowledge is greatly appreciated! I am working part time and available mornings until 1 p.m then 6:30 p.m to 10 p.m on Tu/Wed/Fr; and Mo/Th mornings until 1 p.m only. Saturday and Sunday varies but I’m willing to accommodate. I can care for your pet by following specific instructions and keep them within reach and sight, making sure they are supervised all the time and keeping an eye for anything they can chew/eat or swallow that can pose a potential threat; as well as following feeding schedules and potty breaks.

About: I'm a patient person with an affinity for animals. I've been taking care of dogs since I can remember. Also, I have tons of experience in babysitting, house sitting and even some elder care. Point of story: I will treat your fur baby like it's my own! I work from home as a freelance writer! I have a big apartment that currently has one small dog in it. I thought it would be cool to have more dogs in it! Or to just meet other dogs at their house! I love dogs and that's pretty much it I live in a nice, sub-urby area, and I take my dog Laz on walks through the neighborhood and to the park. I would be happy for your dog to join on those walks! Or if your dog prefers the comfort of their own home, I'm happy to accommodate that as well 😊
