“Josh has been taking great care of our puppy the past few weeks! We asked Josh to take our 8 month old puppy for a mid-day walk and play break while my wife and I are at work twice a week. He's extremely responsive, flexible with our requests, and our puppy loves him. We look forward to continuing to work with Josh!”
“Lisa has been walking my dog for nearly a year and I can't recommend her highly enough. My schedule can change at the last minute and she always works with me. She always updates me on how their walk goes and let's me know if something seems off. She treats him like we do - as a member of our family. It would be difficult to trust him with someone else after finding Lisa!”
“Carly was always on time and my dogs loved to walk with her. She provided consistent and helpful updates after the walk and was always easy to communicate with about schedule changes or general questions.”
“Andrea was an absolute pleasure to work with! She was always punctual, communicated clearly and consistently, and treated my dog with such kindness and care. It was clear my pup felt comfortable and happy with her. On top of that, Andrea is genuinely lovely—inside and out. Highly recommended!”
About: I’m a certified and attentive pet caregiver with years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I’ve had multiple pets in my home since childhood, provided pet sitting for friends and neighbors over the years, and currently have a very active working dog I’ve raised and trained from puppyhood. I’m comfortable with a wide range of temperaments and routines, and I focus on calm, consistent care so pets feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I work as a freelancer in entertainment so I have lots of availability during mornings and weekdays while you're at work with plenty of flexibility. I have a fenced in yard and plenty of open space in the house as well as crates and barriers to keep unwanted behaviors contained and controlled safely. My car is pet friendly for transport and am capable of out-hiking even the most energetic dogs with great leash control. Our neighborhood is very dog friendly with lots of sidewalks and minimal trash and wildlife.
“Kat was amazing!!! so responsive and communicative, sent photos and was all around just so pleasant! It’s so clear she loves animals and she genuinely loved spending time with our pittie girl. Will 100% be booking with Kat again and again!”
About: When I’m not at work, I spend most of my time with our 9 year old rescue dog Cooper, or spending time going on walks as a family. In my spare time, I’ve had the pleasure of fostering 7 rescue dogs in our home until they all were matched with a loving family and their forever homes❤️. Lover of all animals (cats included, although I cannot pet them due to allergies🤧). I enjoy getting to meet and take care of all sorts of pets on Rover. I’ve even had the chance to feed a families horses while they were away on vacation. If your fuzzy family member needs a babysitter, a nice walk, or anything in between then feel free to send me a message! Currently open 7 days a week for availability. Feel free to reach out regarding availability or with any questions, and I’m also happy to do a meet and greet if preferred. For high energy dogs I have taken them on neighborhood walks, hikes, or played toys with them. I always let the pet parent guide me on what their dog is up for. We have a senior dog gentleman of our own, so for dogs with a milder temperament I am happy to take them on short walks or can hang inside with them if that’s more their speed.
About: I can take on the most hyper of dogs (I have one myself). I understand the high demand of a hyper dog and am ready to walk and play with your furry friend! I can also care for small critters! I work 2p-10p full time as a behavior specialist with individuals with autism. I am available most mornings and am available for overnights after 10pm! I always ensure that my pets have everything they need: lots of love, an extra long walk on sunny days, toys to play with, and food that meets their diets needs.
About: I’ve been around dogs since I can remember. Friends and family always come to me to watch their dogs when they need it! I am very trustworthy when coming to pet sitting. I do weekends (Friday-Sunday) but I can occasionally do weekdays. Depending on my school schedule I can accommodate to your needs for pet care (Monday and Tuesday if needed). I am willing to sleepover at the owners house, I will feed, walk, and care for the dogs thoroughly. If not sleeping over I will be there routinely for the dogs.
“Sade is EVERYTHING!!! I have a very energetic big puppy who is still learning not to jump on people AND walking on a leash. She has been such an important piece in consistency when it comes to training, I've seen the difference in Nakia's behavior in those areas.”
“Ambika was amazing! They helped us out when we needed a dog walker last minute and our experience was great! Ambika was incredibly communicative and sent lots of updates and photos! Would absolutely recommend Ambika for services and we will be booking with them again in the future!”
“Matt has been great walking our dog Ziva. She looks so happy in all the pictures he sends. He's even brought our trash bins back to the house on trash pick up days - so thoughtful! We get great communication with each walk. I definitely recommend him for dog walking!”
“Ryan is clearly comfortable working with dogs of all sizes, including my little muscle man! He also took lots of pics & was on time & communicative. My dog came back happy & worn out, he would love to walk with him again.”

Summer is a perfect match for our family!! Super reliable and our dog loves the time she spends with him… from walking to playing out back. She has made our lives so much easier. Knowing she is coming is a huge relief he will not be alone too long. Highly recommend Summer!
