“Great experience with Dominique! She took care of Kaiya and sent plenty of photos even of her using the bathroom to assure us she went. Will use her again and fully recommend her to others!”
About: I’ve pet sit for family, friends, and neighbors for years (Up to 5-6 dogs at a time), I also have 3 dogs and a cat with my family, one of which is elderly. I’ve had experience caring for elderly dogs/cats on medication and puppies. I value high-quality service and transparency especially with our pets! I am a college student with a part time job, but with classes I’m very open in the mornings & available midday. Week day nights might vary but more details can/will be provided. Available at any time on weekends. I always try to build a relationship with the pets I am caring for, I also try to provide as many updates and send pictures possible for clients so they know their pet is being loved and spoiled. If there were ever a concern in terms of behavior or medical emergency, client can expect the most immediate communication.
“Harmony was great. She rushed over at the last min and saved the day, taking the girls out for a nice, long walk…they’ve been resting since they returned home, mission accomplished. Thank you so much, Harmony!”
“Mary was excellent in letting my GSD Bane out for walks during the day while I was at work. She was very attentive to him and great with updates during her visits. I’d be so glad to use her again in the future!!”
“Charlie is so great with my pup! Always make sure he gets some activity and a potty break with plenty of pictures to show the fun they’re having! Definitely recommend him for any dog walking needs!”
“Macy has been a GREAT dog walker for me this week! She consistently walks a mile+ in the 30 minute bookings and gives my girl so much love! I will definitely be reaching back out to her with my future dog walking needs.”
“After using rover for the first time I loved michaela once I met her she is a very genuine and understanding person she always send pictures of my sweet pup couldn’t asked for a better sitter ! ❤️”
“Just one week into having Max (and his fiancé) take care of my two dogs and I’m already so impressed. Max and Jen took the time to get to know my dogs and asked tons of questions prior to starting weekly walks. They are both incredibly communicative and timely, send pictures and updates for each walk, and have been extremely patient with my female pup, who can be shy around new people. I will definitely turn to Max and Jen for any future dog sitting needs!”
About: I've always been a pet lover and once I became a nanny I had the opportunity to not only care for the children but the pets as well. I then started pet/house sitting. I have experience in administering medicine. I walk, bath, love and play with the pets I care for. I am a single mother and my daughter is with me all the time. We would love to take care of your fur babies who are good around children. . I'm available for morning walks/feedings. I'm also available all weekend. I work part-time as a nanny in the early afternoon till 6 but I'm free to do check ins. At the moment I am unable to provide care in my home. This is temporary and I'll offer those services again mid June, thank you.
About: I'm an experienced dog mom who's spent years caring for my own dogs and helping family and friends with theirs. I'm patient, calm, and great at understanding different personalities, from playful pups to older dogs who need a gentler approach. I make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, loved and cared for. I work from home so my availability is very open and flexible for any dog needed care. I own my own business so I'm able to work around your schedule and needs for the majority. I have 2 fenced in yards with dogs that love to play. Comfy beds and couches for down time, and both outside and inside toys and activities to keep them happy!
About: I’ve grown up with dogs, cats, birds, lizards and helped family/friends with farm life. I can’t imagine life without them. Animals make every day brighter and I’m grateful to have so much experience with them. I am currently between jobs so have plenty of flexibility to accommodate you and your pets needs. If I commit to a time for you, you can guarantee I will follow through with that commitment. I am very respectful of your space and the needs of your pets. There is nothing worse than being away from your pet, but knowing it’s being properly cared for is reassuring.
About: I grew up with a family that’s always included our pet or two. My soul dog, Nova, sadly passed away almost 8 years ago but she left a teenage girl with a lesson that our fur friends were more like family than anything else. I have a dog and cat, Ghost and Oni, whom both teach that lesson all over again. From babysitting the neighbors cat to my grandmothers anxious little chihuahua to caring for my own, I know what’s it’s like to not only love your animal but to want them to be okay as well. Currently I am a full time college student. I have school on Tuesday's and Thursday's and a free schedule the rest of the week aside from homework. I offer pet sitting and dog walking services. This includes the close supervision of high maintenance pets, cleaning up any messes or spills to special care or potty training pets, and following and directions left by the owner.
About: I have always grown up with animals and my love for them led me to a job at a pet resort. I was a kennel technician for 4 years which provided me great insight to care for all types of furry friends. I currently am a full time student at the University of Charlotte. Most days I attended class and workout. I go home about once every 2 months and certain holidays to spend time with my family. I live in a spacious four-bedroom home with three other trustworthy girls, and there are no pets in the house, making it a calm and controlled environment for your furry family members. I always try to keep each pet’s routine as close as possible to what they’re used to because I know how stressful change can feel—especially for anxious pets. I’m patient, gentle, and attentive, and I make it my priority to provide comfort, consistency, and lots of love while they’re missing their parents.
“Keegan is great! She really cares about the dogs and their personalities. She notices the details about their behavior and knows how best to engage with them. Both times she spent the full 30 or 60 minutes with my dogs. She sent lots of pictures and notes about how things went. Best experience with rover so far.”
“Hannah is the best! She goes above and beyond with taking care of our pup and always gets a great walk in. Always on time and great with communication - thanks Hannah!”
“Thank you, Mary for everything. I appreciate it. Yeah she could just leave those collars on. Makes things a little bit easier and it’s all right that she didn’t eat. She’ll just eat when I get home. I appreciate everything you’ve done. I’m happy that she was excited at first and eventually calm down and yes, there was a situation with skateboards the last time I took her down to the end of Philemon towards 36th St. and it scared the crap out of her so now I have to work on inch and her down there again so I am I know what you’re talking about. Yeah she’ll get to a certain point and wanna come home and that’s fine. That’s fine when when she’s with you again I appreciate it and thank you so much and now you didn’t need to put the water in especially if like you said she drank a sufficient amount so I will see you while she will see you tomorrow lol thank you so much.”

Oak Forest dog parents share their Rover experiences
Kait was amazing! She is very nice so my dog Renly fell in love with her immediately. She brought him on his walk, gave him some love and treats before leaving. She was punctual, responsible and I was very happy she could be of help. I would definitely recommend her!
I cannot recommend Valentina enough! She is an absolute gem when it comes to caring for dogs. From the very first meet-and-greet, she put so much effort into getting acquainted with my Pomeranian, Lua, who can be a little nervous around new people. Her patience and gentle approach made all the difference, and it was clear from the start that she has a deep love and understanding of dogs. Throughout the entire process, she was incredibly attentive, ensuring Lua felt comfortable and safe. She took her time, never rushed, and truly went above and beyond to build trust. It’s rare to find someone so dedicated and passionate, and I could immediately tell she’s both knowledgeable and experienced. Lua came back happy and relaxed after her walk, which speaks volumes about the care and attention she received. I’m so excited to continue using her services, and if I could recommend her a million times, I absolutely would! If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog like their own, look no further.
