Paulette has been walking my dog for months now. She is trustworthy, caring, punctual, and most of all she loves animals. My dog and cat love her and she has been a great asset to my family. I highly recommend her for all your pet needs.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats of all breeds since I was young, and animals have always been a big part of my life. Along with caring for family pets, I previously ran a small pet-sitting business and have raised several dogs from puppyhood, giving me hands-on experience with every stage of life. My approach to care and training is rooted in patience and positive reinforcement. Creating a calm, supportive environment is important to me, and I value working with pet parents who feel the same way. I also work in the medical field and am experienced in administering medications, including injections. I understand how important it is to follow care instructions precisely, especially when it comes to health needs. I’m highly detail-oriented and committed to making sure your pet receives attentive, reliable, and loving care tailored specifically to them. I am currently studying for a board exam so am mostly working from home and have a rescue pup of my own that needs lots of walks and play time. Let us bring your buddy along on one of our hikes! I live in a house with my dog, Daisy. She loves everyone, including all types of animals, and will happily keep your pet company. I have multiple crates available if your pet should need one :)

Chloe is an incredibly sweet and attentive walker. She observed early signs of heat exhaustion in my dog and was sure to take action along with giving me educated recommendations. I’d recommend Chloe for anyone with busy days in need of a walker!

Charlie is so thoughtful and responsive. He truly cares about the pets he is with and it is such a joy knowing that my dog is well cared for while I’m away. We can’t recommend Charlie enough!

Jim was amazing with Pixie! We were out of town and had never left our little Toy Fox Terrier at our house alone. She has not done well with kennel boarding so we hoped she would be ok with someone from Rover coming to take care of her. Jim took her for great walks, he fed her, gave her medications, and snuggled with her. She was SO Happy! We have established a great trust relationship with Jim and Pixie seems to love him. Hire Jim and you will have extreme peace of mind like we had.

I was hesitant about using Rover, however Julia made me feel very comfortable about the app! She is responsive, easy to talk to, and genuinely cares about the pets she takes care of! It is so nice to be able to go to work and know that my dog is being cared for by her! Highly recommend!

About: I work as a pet sitter full time and have also been a veterinary assistant so I have experience with caring for pets, I am also able to give medications for pets who need it. I have experience with both cats and dogs but have more experience with cats! I have my own cat that I care for and am an insured pet sitter full time! I love caring for pets as if they are my own and go above and beyond to make their owners feel safe! I care for pets in your home by feeding, giving water, attention (play, cuddles, walk, depending on animals needs), cleaning litter or letting pets out, administering medication, and generally looking out for their well being.

About: Hi there! I grew up with a dog by my side, and my family had a beloved pup until last year. My kids have been begging for another, but for now, we’ve decided to channel our love for animals into caring for yours! My kids and I are here to provide plenty of attention, belly rubs, and care while you’re away. Think of us as the fun aunt and uncle (and cousins!) for your pets—plenty of playtime, snuggles, and treats (with your permission, of course!). We can’t wait to meet your four-legged family members! Between my husband, who works from home full-time, and me being a stay-at-home mom, there’s always someone here to care for your pet. Whether it’s playtime, potty breaks, snuggles, or just having company throughout the day, your furry friend will never be alone for long. Our flexible schedules allow us to provide consistent care, making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and right at home. We have a spacious, fenced-in backyard, perfect for playtime and fresh air. Our neighborhood is also great for walks, offering plenty of safe and scenic routes. If your pet is crate-trained, I’m happy to accommodate that, but we also have the flexibility to let them roam freely in our home. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so whether they’re staying with us or I’m caring for them in your home, I’ll follow your routines and rules to make them feel as comfortable as possible.

About: I’d love to help you out by taking care of your fur baby! I’ve had and cared for several pets throughout my life including dogs, bunnies and cats. I’ve been responsible for meals, medications, walks and more! I’ve also trained dogs for a year on invisible fences. I’m that person that gravitate towards the pets at a gathering! My schedule is pretty flexible at the moment. I have open availability everyday including weekends. I’m available at all hours and can flex my schedule to meet your pets needs! At this time, I’m on a no pet lease. I’m happy to come to your house to feed you fur babies, walk them and send photo/text updates!

Melanie does an amazing job with both of my dogs. They come back happy, exercised, and ready to relax which I greatly appreciate. I can tell the dogs love their time with her because they will bark out the picture window begging her to come back for more. Melanie is super attentive and willing to accommodate any schedule changes and additional asks, with excellent communication throughout. Highly recommended, and very thankful I was able to find someone my dogs love so much!

About: I walk 10,000 steps a day and would love to walk your dog the extra mile. I've taken care of pets my whole life and love to volunteer in local shelters. I can teach your dog a few tricks, get all their zoomies out with a nice run, and give them all the frisbee, ball, tug of war, hide and seek, etc. playtime that they might want. I can also provide extra care to anxious, reactive, older, post surgery, and/or disabled pets. I have some dog training experience and can help your dog be more comfortable with other dogs, other people, address triggers, reduce pulling on the leash, etc. During our long walks, your pets will play, relax, and make new doggie friends all the time with careful introductions and lots of happy moments. Looking to build long term relationships with my clients and new pet friends. You can always reach me when I'm pet sitting if you ever have a question, I am always just a phone call or a text away. I'm currently self employed as a small business owner and mostly working from home. My schedule is very flexible and I always make time for long walks anyway so pet walks fit well into my routine of things. I always make sure the pets have food and a fresh bowl of water. After that I like to build some trust with sniffs and treats, see if they know any tricks. Once the pet is comfortable it's time for a walk and/or playtime to get all the pent up energy out. I think playtime is the most happy time for pets so I always to engage in a few different kinds of games until I find one that they love. This way the pets are happy and comfortable and can happily nap for the rest of the day after we are done.
