“I went out of town for work and contacted Nicole the day before. She was extremely friendly and flexible with her time. She met myself and Denver prior to my trip to introduce herself and meet the pup! Excellent service. I greatly appreciate her time and service while I was away. Thank you, Nicole!”

“Parker was so wonderful and really helped out in a pinch. She came through when our other walker fell through and ended up being so much better. She is sweet and thoughtful and so responsible with our boy. Will definitely seek her services again and would highly recommend her for any kind of pet care you need.”

About: Hi there! I’m new to the Rover App but not new to caring for fur babies. The past 4 years I’ve had experience dog sitting for my older sister, who has a four year old Lab mix named Harper. I’ve watched Harper for weekends at a time feeding, walking, playing with her when my sister is out of town. I’ve also had the privilege of dog sitting for neighbors, dropping in their home while they are away and letting their fur babies out and feeding them. I currently live with a roommate who has a cat that I care for when need be as well. I love animals, and though I don’t have any of my own. I’ll take care of yours as if it was. Right now I’m only available for dog walking and drop-ins in your home. Not accepting over night sitting in my home at the moment. Book with me and have peace of mind your fur baby is cared for and loved while you’re away. I work full time throughout the week from Sundays-Thursdays. I usually work from 1pm-9pm or 3pm-11pm Though out the week. I’m free both Fridays and Saturdays anytime! I make sure the pets are getting the proper respect and care they need. I’m also well organized so I won’t miss any deadlines if the pet needs to take their medications or even a vet appointment if need be. I’ll make sure they get their food/water and that they use the bathroom on time as well. I also like to play with the pets to keep them engaged and have them not feeling too bored as well.
“We cannot say enough about how awesome Amanda is! She is so sweet!! She came twice a day to walk my mom's papillon for a good halfhour each time and little Courtney just loves Amanda! As I live out of town, finding Amanda to walk my mom's pupper was an absolute godsend!! As I'm the one with the River app, I had great peace of mind getting the daily updates that she was picking up and returning little Courtney and the daily pics were nice to get too! We will definitely rebook with Amanda anytime we need her because of the great care she took of Courtney.”

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have experience caring for pets of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. My family had a farm where we raised pigs and cows, and growing up my grandma had 21 indoor and outdoor cats. I’ve also grown up with dogs, cats, bunnies, and other animals throughout my life. My family currently has both a pug and a Great Dane, so I’m very comfortable around dogs of all sizes. I currently have two cats of my own, and one has epilepsy, so I’m also comfortable giving medication and following specific care routines. I understand how important consistency and attention can be when a pet has additional needs. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I’ll treat every pet I care for like one of my own. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, which makes it easy for me to fit pet care into my day. I’m available throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, medication, and plenty of attention. I like to meet pets beforehand whenever possible so they can get comfortable with me and I can learn their routine, personality, and needs. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely and make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m also comfortable giving medication and caring for pets with special needs.
“Ellen was absolutely wonderful with Claire. She handled Claire’s energy, quirks, and routines with total confidence and kindness. I got consistent updates, great photos, and could tell Claire felt comfortable and cared for the entire time. Highly recommend her for anyone who wants their pup treated like family.”


About: Hi! My name is Ferhan, and I’m a dedicated animal lover who understands how important it is to find someone trustworthy to care for your pets. Whether you need dog walking, drop-in visits, or overnight pet sitting, my goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs through my own dog, Max. I’ve had Max since he was 8 months old, and he is now 8 years old. Over the years, I’ve gained experience with daily walks, feeding schedules, administering basic care, exercise, playtime, and understanding a dog’s individual needs and personality. Caring for Max has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and treating every pet like a member of the family. When caring for your pet, I can provide walks, play sessions, feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, companionship, and plenty of attention. I understand that every pet is different, and I’m happy to follow any specific instructions to maintain their normal routine and help them feel comfortable. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to dedicate quality time to the pets in my care. I believe communication is important, so I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I take pet care seriously and always strive to provide a safe, reliable, and positive experience for both pets and their owners. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I’m typically free through hours during the day and mostly in the evenings. I have autonomy with my schedule so I can typically accommodate your needs. At my own home I keep away all dangerous items that my dog can get into. During walks I tend to avoid crowds so my dog doesn’t get too excited. I would give your pet the same courtesy
About: My family and I have fostered dogs for years. That experience has taught me how to handle everything from nervous rescues to higher energy pups with patience and love. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets like they’re my own. Whether your dog needs playtime, snuggles, or a calm routine, I’ll make sure they’re safe, happy, and cared for. My job is hybrid so I’m in office 2 days a week but my work is flexible so there’s always room for adjustments. I care for pets in their own homes to help them stay comfortable in their familiar environment. Animals that love to cuddle or play go hand in hand with my personality.
About: I have had a variety of animals in my life and currently have 2 cats and a puppy! Animals are so special and I want to fill my free time taking care of them. I have helped out neighborhood friends before by both cat and dog sitting:) I do work full time so I am mainly available on the weekends but can be flexible! On weekends I have availability all day long. My cats and pup at home have everything and more. I keep my environment both cat and dog friendly! I always make sure that the pets are happiest they could be.
About: I have been around animals my whole life. Growing up, we mainly had cats and dogs, but in recent years we have expanded to fish, birds, and frogs! At the moment, my family has 2 cats, 2 parakeets, and about a million fish. I started pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors as a kid, and now I try to pet sit whenever I am home from college. I am also the primary care taker of my little home zoo. I’m currently home for the summer, and I have really flexible hours! I have several vacations planned for the summer, so I do not currently have a job lined up, which means more time to play with your pets! I am currently not able to care for your pets in my home as my cats are not very accepting of new animals. At your home, I will work with you to learn what is best for your pets! If you have a fenced in yard, that’s great! If not, no worries.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for decades and will treat your babies like the royalty they are. My home is their home when they are here. I’m home all day with my three babies, so I have the capacity to frequently take your kiddos on walks & playtime out in the fenced yard I have three dogs on my own that are friendly after getting acclimated to other visiting dogs. I have a completely separate room if needed for solitude while boarding.

About: Having been raised by a father who was a veterinarian, I’ve had experience raising and caring for various types of animals. I believe our fur babies aren’t just pets, but are our children, family, guides and protectors I recently resigned from teaching and only have to care for my kitty child Lyran, so I’m pretty free and available for most dates and times requested. Having a cat baby at my house, I would prefer to go to the clients house to care for their pets. I can make exceptions and keep a clients pet depending on the pet and requirements for care.
About: I've been an avid pet lover for as long as I can remember. I attended UNC-Chapel Hill and earned my veterinarian medical technician degree. I specialize in senior dogs needing special care, food and medication. I can administer all medications oral, topical as well as injections. I have cared for the smallest to the largest of all breeds. Pet sitting is my full time job. My daily and weekly routines revolves around the dogs in my care. I never leave them alone more than 2hrs at a time and I only do that for doctors appointments. My dog Porkchop is a medical service animal and goes everywhere I go, except when I sit at someone else's house. I have a large fenced in backyard and I have a small service dog to keep your baby company. Your babies will be allowed on the furniture and the bed unless you don't want them too. I don't use kennels unless you want me to and you will have to provide the kennel. Your babies will have full access to my entire house. If I sit in your home I go by all of your rules for your baby. On drop in visits I will feed your pet and walk them as well as give plenty of love and play time. For walking visits I will give your baby a twenty minute walk and give them fresh water and a treat or two if they are allowed to have them.
“I recently hired Nicole to take care of my dog, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! From our first meeting, it was clear that they genuinely love animals and understand their needs. Nicole is always punctual, reliable, and communicates regularly with updates and photos from their walks. My dog absolutely adores them and comes back happy and tired after each session, which speaks volumes about the care and attention given. The walks are tailored to my dog’s energy level, ensuring he gets the exercise he needs. I highly recommend Nicole to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog walker!”

About: As a former veterinary assistant and kennel technician, I have experience working with a wide range of dog breeds, each with their own unique temperaments and personalities.

In addition, I grew up always having lots of dogs, which has instilled in me a deep love and compassion towards them!

I do work 10pm-2:30am Monday-Friday just to note that schedule for overnights. Other than that, I’d be happy to accommodate any schedule that best suits you! When caring for pets in a clients home, I always make sure to adhere to the instructions the owner has given me regarding their pet/pets. Whether it’s a specific feeding schedule, a preferred food type, daily walks around the neighborhood or in the backyard, or administering medications. I make it a priority to ensure that everything is properly taken care of while also giving the pet plenty love and affection to help them feel more comfortable and at ease in their owner’s absence.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Palm River-Clair Mel
Josephine was absolutely wonderful with Porter! ❤️ It gave me such peace of mind knowing my baby was in such kind, caring, and capable hands. Porter loved her, and it was clear he was so well cared for during their time together. She sent plenty of pictures and thoughtful updates describing their time together, which I really appreciated and made me feel so comfortable while I was away. Finding someone you can trust with your fur baby is so important, and Josephine truly exceeded my expectations. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and attentive dog walker. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!

Dwayne is an awesome choice when it comes to taking care of your fur baby! Sometimes life happens, and I was incredibly grateful that Dwayne was available for a last minute booking. He already remembered the specific care Kingston needed and went above and beyond to make sure everything was done exactly the way I wanted. He was always punctual with walks and meals and gave extra attention to my senior Doberman, Kingston. It’s clear that Dwayne genuinely cares about the pets he looks after, and that peace of mind is priceless. There’s nothing better than coming home to a happy, relaxed, and well cared for pet. I highly recommend Dwayne to anyone looking for a dependable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter. Kingston gives him two paws up! 🐾
