About: I’ve been a pet sitter since high school and love every minute of it! I have a cat named Stitch who’s my best friend, and I enjoy spending time outdoors—so walking your pet is the perfect way for us to both get some fresh air and fun. I treat every pet like my own, giving them love, attention, and care while you’re away. I’m a full-time college student with a flexible schedule, usually only two classes a day, which gives me plenty of time to spend with your furry friend. I always double check that every gate is closed and that your friend is in no danger. I am very vigilant and always make sure everything is locked and secure before I leave
“Emily did an amazing job with Otis. He’s pretty particular about getting his harness on, even with me and dad, but Emily was patient and helped him with his confidence to get it on. She did great with his high energy and we definitely be scheduling with her again!”

“Tara was wonderful!! I loved her updates while I was out of town for work. She was very communicative and quick to respond. I will certainly have her walk the pups again in the future!”

“Reanna has been walking my dog twice a week for several months now and she is absolutely fantastic! She is extremely responsive to booking requests and very communicative when I need to move things around or she needs to adjust the schedule. Louie loves her and it's clear she loves him, too. It's great to have someone I can trust help my dog get some energy out while I'm at work. I highly recommend Reanna for dog walking and any other pet care needs!”

“Olivia is excellent! She had very thorough updates and communication each day with our pet. She took her time to care for him as if he were her own dog. She sent lots of pictures which we loved. Highly recommend!”

About: I first began caring for animals when I lived with my sister & helped care for her toy poodle, taking it on walks or administering a pill when it had a seizure. She later had 3 dogs & 5 cats at one time to care for! Since then, for other people, I have taken care of as many as 5 dogs (Cavalier King Charles Spaniels), 4 birds & 1 cat at a time! I have had 2 cats of my own a total of 7 years. I have walked dogs & cats (even taking them in a stroller together!), given topical flea meds, oral meds, trimmed nails, given baths, combed & brushed them. I love giving them lots of cuddles & pets (even taking naps with them!), insuring they have clean bowls daily, fresh water / food 2x daily, & whatever amount of treats the owner thinks is good. ;-) I make sure dogs get an adequate number of potty breaks daily to avoid mishaps & to ensure s/he is not uncomfortable from a full bladder. I scoop cat boxes 1x/daily (if non-clumping litter is used) or 2x/daily (if clumping litter is used) & completely clean out the box & change litter 1x/week. When walking dogs, I make sure the harness / collar & leash are secure & I carry waste bags, vinegar spray to discourage other dogs from attacking us (happens more often than you'd think!) &, of course, my cell phone if something serious were to happen, I could phone someone quickly. In a nutshell, I want to be sure that the animals in my care are happy, healthy & safe!! :-) I am currently retired and so my schedule is completely open. I am open to a recurring booking, such as every day or every week. I make sure food is fresh (within the last couple days) & not "crusty" (use a lid) & has no bugs in it. Water should also be clear & have nothing "foreign" in it. At the client's home, I make sure backyard gates are shut before taking dogs out for a potty break. If client permits, I also take that time to "scoop" the yard of previous "droppings" to provide a cleaner place for the dogs & their owners. :-) If taking dogs for a walk, I make sure I have safety gear & my cell phone handy & that their leash/collar/harness is secure. I watch to make sure they don't eat something they're not supposed to. If taking a cat(s) for a walk in a stroller, I make sure it's securely fastened & that the cat(s) would not be able to get out of the stroller. I try to make sure dogs / cats in my care don't play rough with each other or get into a fight. I make sure cats don't climb into places which are unsafe or which would knock over fragile items.
About: I have two cats of my own, Emerald and Allie! The entire rest of my family are dog owners, as well as the majority of my friends, and I have spent lots of time over the years helping take care of their pets! Whether it be visiting several times a day to take their dogs out, or fully staying in their home for a week or more at a time. I am always willing to do what’s needed to make pet parents feel comfortable while they’re away! I work full time at a non-profit, but my job is very flexible and most days I work from home! I especially always have evenings and weekends pretty open. I never bring pets into my own home because I am very cautious about how my cats will react. When I enter other people’s homes, I try to work with the owner first to make sure their pet is comfortable with me before leaving. I treat all pets as if they are my own, often referring to them as my nieces and nephews, so rest assured that your pet will be just as spoiled as mine for the times I am with them! I follow ALL instructions given to me by pet parents, and check in anytime I have questions.
“Jessica was great! She was so considerate of our first time using rover for dog walking and made sure we felt comfortable! Our pup was well taken care of in our absence”

About: I treat every pet like they’re my own, taking time to understand their unique personality, routines, and needs. I have had many animals of my own my whole life along with pet sitting for many family members, friends, and neighbors. I am a certified veterinary assistant and have worked in a vet office for over a year now and with my hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and other animals, I’m trained to handle everything from shy rescues to high-energy pups. Pet care is a core part of my daily and weekly life — not just a job, but a commitment I truly enjoy. I build my schedule around my clients’ pets to ensure consistency, comfort, and reliability. Caring for pets in their own home keeps their environment consistent and stress-free. I follow your pet’s regular schedule for meals, potty breaks, walks, and medication. I stick to your instructions for house rules, routines, and preferences. I tidy up after myself (and your pet), water plants, bring in mail, and keep your home secure. I provide updates and photos so you know your pet is safe, happy, and getting plenty of attention. Whether in my home or yours, your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities.
About: I have a senior kitty and an adult age cat. I have experience with dogs of all ages. Also have dealt with animals with special health concerns such as blindness or diabetes I’m available full time for the holiday session, part time after new years but willing to be flexible if needed. Please reach ou for more. I will abide by all house and property rules for the animals safety which includes leashes, fences, walking paths. My cats are pretty relaxed so we just play inside of our apartment.
“Chakra’s first week with Amber has been awesome. It’s been really great for him to have a midday pickup and walk. I can truly see a difference in his temperament.”

“We were so happy with Maggie‘s dog walk. She left a lot of great information regarding the walk and was very professional. Overall would definitely recommend”

About: I’ve grown up around animals, including horses, and often care for friends’ dogs. I’m patient, attentive, and love giving pets meaningful interaction, exercise, and dependable daily care. I’m a fourth-year medical student with a mostly asynchronous online schedule, so I’m home often with a very flexible routine, making me consistently reliable for pet care. I live alone in a quiet, very walkable neighborhood and can closely follow your pet’s routine. I’m home often, very accessible, and provide safe, consistent supervision.
“Eleanor continues to provide meaningful care on my Zeke dog’s weekly walks and seamless communication surrounding all walks. We are grateful and happy to have her in our lives - as will you!”
About: I am the proud grandchild of a certified crazy pet lady. My grandmother had five cats and two dogs for most of my childhood, so I am well-versed in the patience and love it takes to care for your pets. I work part-time and am a full time student, but I have lots of availability on the weekends and during holidays to care for your pets. I also find myself out and about in the city all the time, so I’d love the opportunity to care for your pets while exploring new neighborhoods. I know that your space is your own (and your pet’s, of course) and I will be sure to treat it with the care and respect that I would my own.
About: I’ve always had a natural connection with animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats of all sizes and temperaments, from energetic puppies to calm senior pets. I’m attentive to routines, feeding schedules, and medication instructions, making sure each pet feels comfortable and safe while you’re away. What Sets Me Apart: I’m patient, reliable, and genuinely love spending time with animals. I pay attention to the small details that keep pets happy—whether that’s an extra walk for energy, quiet time for older pets, or updates and photos for peace of mind. My calm personality helps pets feel at ease, and I take pride in creating a stress-free experience for both the pet and their owner. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I’m a college student, and this is a side hustle I genuinely enjoy because I love being around animals. My class schedule gives me plenty of flexibility: I’m free after 4 PM on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and after 12 PM on Tuesdays. These times make it easy for me to stop by for walks, drop-ins, or longer visits. I like ending my day with something relaxing and positive, and spending time with pets is exactly that. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or in a client’s home, I always focus on making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, energy level, and personality so I can keep everything consistent. I follow feeding and medication instructions carefully, keep a close eye on their behavior, and make sure they always have a clean space, fresh water, and plenty of attention. In a client’s home, I treat the space with respect and keep things exactly as I found them. I make sure doors and gates are secure, walks are supervised, and pets stay in familiar areas. My goal is always to build trust by giving your pet a calm, caring environment where they can relax, feel safe, and enjoy their time while you’re away.
