“Lilly is phenomenal!!!! She is compassionate, professional, and so patient! She sent lovely photos of my dogs and updates. She taught my fur baby to sit and lay down in 30 minutes! I can't say enough about how awesome Lilly is! My dogs adore her and I'm so glad I found her on rover..com!”


“Our pets were super comfortable with Jordan from the moment she stepped in the house! She took great care of our babies and they can’t wait for her to come play again soon!”


About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for over 15 years. I’m friendly, love playing with them, know what they need to be happy. I have a puppy and she loves to come on all jobs with me. Please let me know if your dog is not friendly towards other dogs as I have to bring my puppy with me. I’m looking to get experience with different types of pets as my dream is to be a foster parent to dogs and create my own animal rescue to help dogs find their furever homes. Besides working full time and having a dog of my own I have plenty of free time. This makes me almost always available to take care of your pets. I can come to your house and follow your pets usual routines. I’m very flexible, love playing with animals and just spending time cuddled up together. I can bathe or do extra responsibilities based on your pet. I also have experience with giving diabetic dogs shots.

About: I’ve worked in the dog industry for almost 2 years, gaining hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I’m autism-friendly and confident in safe, gentle handling always putting your pup’s comfort first! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, I structure my day around it. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening feedings, I’m consistent, flexible when outside of work, and always make sure pets get the time and attention they need. In my home, pets get a calm, safe environment with lots of attention. I stick to their routines feeding, walks, potty breaks, and playtime and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I give space when needed, but I’m always nearby for cuddles, training, or reassurance.

“Reece came to walk my dog Haze, who has a ton of energy and specific dietary and allergy needs. I really appreciated how communicative and reliable she was—sent updates, arrived on time, and spent some time playing with him during the check ins. It’s such a relief to find someone I can trust with Haze. Would definitely book with her again!”


“Hannah went above and beyond taking care of our elderly dog with mobility issues. She was very attentive to her needs and did everything we asked and more. We wouldn’t hesitate to book Hannah again in the future.”


About: As a happy owner of golden retrievers, doodles and labs, I would love to care for your pet as my own. From long walks to post-park baths, I’m comfortable handling large, fluffy dogs and tailoring care to their needs. I have experience with basic training, leash manners, and giving pets the patience and love they deserve. Whether it’s playtime, walk time or dinner time, your pet will be happy and safe. I work remote and I would love long walks on a lunch break. We just lost our golden retriever Barley this year, so I am missing quality time with pets and would love to meet yours. I am happy to visit your home and stroll your neighborhood! It would be a joy to take care of your pets so you have peace of mind on vacation.

“Michelle took the time to stay and watch my kitty eat each visit. She was on time every time. Great communication and beautiful pictures of her each day. Thank you Michelle.”


About: I have raised colts, goats, cats, and a couple of dogs. I believe my experience with various animals, particularly horses, has helped me connect with/ win the trust of dogs relatively quickly. I work remotely. I can give attention to your animal more frequently. I am a proud owner of a golden retriever and former owner of many animals, having grown up on a ranch. I treat your animals as if they were my own. I respect that responsibility. Animals are very special in our families and ought to be treated as such.


“Sabrina was amazing! It was so nice to keep our older dogs at home while we were away, rather than a stressful boarding situation.

Jade P.
“Finding someone I trust with my dog is no easy task, I’m extremely protective over her and very selective about who I allow into her world. From the moment Jade started caring for Mia, I knew I had found someone truly special. She has a natural warmth and energy that Mia connected with instantly. Every time Jade comes by, Mia lights up with excitement. Whether it’s a walk, some playtime, or just showering her with love, Jade gives her everything she needs and more. She also sends me photos and videos, which mean the world to me, it’s such a comfort seeing Mia happy, tail wagging, and clearly adored. I never worry when Mia is in her care because I know she’s not just being watched, she’s being genuinely loved. Jade has been an absolute gift to both of us. Her compassion, reliability, and the bond she’s built with Mia give me complete peace of mind. If you’re lucky enough to have Jade care for your pet, know that they’ll be in the best, most loving hands.”
