About: I've had dogs my whole life. I recently had to rehome our dog, but I am looking to walk/run/hangout with a dog that I can hangout with as well. I do work full time, but am looking to help if someone needs a morning walk or afternoon walk. I could also do some hours on the weekend if needed and I am not busy. I do not plan on caring in my own home as we have a baby. I really just am looking to walk a dog. Thanks.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with a soft spot for pets of all shapes and sizes. Since childhood, I’ve been drawn to animals—whether it was visiting petting zoos, catching frogs and turtles, or checking in on my neighbor’s reptiles. I grew up with dogs, a cat, a parakeet, and even hermit crabs, and now as an adult, I’ve had the joy of owning my dream dog—a gentle Great Dane. My daughter shares my love of animals and has a sweet little Pomeranian, and we’re currently enjoying caring for her classroom’s guinea pig for the summer! I work from home with a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time and availability to care for your pets with love and attention. I’m available for in-your-home care (especially when my kids are with their dad), as well as check-ins and walks throughout the day, including mornings, afternoons, and late evenings. Whether your pet needs some playtime, a walk, or just some company, I’d love to help!

About: I used this app heavily in college and have a lot of experience with walking, boarding, and having them at my apartment! I don’t currently have any animals but everyone in my family does :) I have a full time job 8am-5pm Monday through Friday so I am available either before or after! It also is mostly remote so I am pretty flexible I live in an apartment currently. There is a small dog park which I love taking the dogs to! Also, love going on walks. If I am at your home I am pretty flexible with whatever is needed.
“Cheyenne is absolutely fantastic! I have her take care of my puppy on a regular basis while I work and I couldn't be happier with the work she does! She always lets me know what happens when she visits, is extremely reliable, is flexible to work with my schedule, and I always come home to a happy puppy. I'd recommend her to anyone! ?”
“Thanks, Elizabeth! She was very communicative and took great care of my anxious puppers! She also gave some love to the kitties while she was here. She was on time for visits and I returned to a very happy dog. It was a last minute booking and I appreciated her quick response and professionalism. Would rebook with her anytime!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs over 20 years, from playful puppies to senior sweethearts. I’m patient, loving, and always adapt to your dog’s unique needs—whether it’s training, cuddles, or special care. I work 9–5 Monday to Friday (sometimes off Fridays), but I’m always available after work and fully free on weekends for your pup! I am a super flexible person so whatever you need I can help! I create a safe, calm, and loving environment, always following your pet’s routine. I give them plenty of attention, playtime, and care—just like they’re part of my family.
“It was my first time at Rover app I was a little worried about but Lashyia was much more then I do expect from my pet’s sitting. I have 2 small dogs and they was so happy to having her every day while we were out. She is caring and did everything I did ask for, actually she did more. Thank you so much Lashyia”
About: Hello! My name is Heather. I am a married working Mom of three kids. Also, I’m a dog Mom to two goofy Boxers. Animals have always been part of my life. I’ve never not had pet as a companion in my life and probably never will!! I am a caring, reliable and trustworthy person. I was a dog & cat groomer for years before I was an RN. I have pet sit many times for clients. I am very comfortable around a variety of pets of all sizes. Walking several pets at the same time is something I’ve become proficient at. I am extremely fussy about the care of my own fur babies. Providing the same care and attention to your special family member is my goal.

Kristen went above and beyond while watching my cat! In addition to daily updates and photos, Kristen was very responsive in meeting to get and return apartment keys. She paid special to cleaning my ear infection-prone cat's ears and left my apartment cleaner than when she found it with a very sweet drawing of my cat from her daughter, and my cat loved them both! I can't recommend Kristen enough as a pet sitter!
Michael was absolutely phenomenal in every aspect. I was last minute with my booking, information, even instructions and he fully adjusted to meet me and my furry son’s needs fully. I’ll definitely be locking in this partnership as he’s one of the best Sitters I’ve done business with. Would most definitely recommend Michael to any and everyone looking for Boarding, Sitting, or Day-Visit-Services. He truly is the cream of the crop
