“I'm beyond happy with the service I received. She made sure to communicate and check in with me everyday at the times I specified for Midnight. I normally come home and midnight looks sad and depressed when others have watched her. I came in and she was so happy, energized and very well taken care of. My house looks the same, nothing out of place or damaged. Thank you so much Gabrielle. I will definitely continue to use her and reference her to my other dog parents. Thank you!!!”


“Caroline watched my dog for the first time and took such great care of her! She is a senior dog and Caroline makes sure to give her the attention she needs always. Thank you for all the pictures you send!”


“William was wonderful. The dogs loved him and he was very responsible about arriving on time and spending the amount of time he said he would with them. Happy doggies.”


“Lawrence was great with my pets and super communicative with me while I was out of town, appreciated all of the photos he sent and the time he took to get to know my kiddos!”


“Risa answered my booking at the last minute and was so understanding and accomodating to the requests I had. She ensured my pup was taken care of to the best extent, kept me well informed, and went above and beyond. Definitely recommend her services and would for sure book her again!”


About: Are you looking for help walking your dog or checking in on them while you are away at work on vacation? Let me help you! I love all animals and breeds. I am gentle, attentive, and fun! I have owned dogs and cats all my life and I am very comfortable with them. I will pay attention to your pets body language to make sure that they are comfortable and happy. I will follow your instructions for your pet closely. I have shadowing and volunteering experience with veterinarians and animal shelters. Are you unsure? We can find a time for you, your pet, and myself to meetup and see if we are a good fit. Need more immediate service? That is okay too! Let’s see if we can work together! I am a student and employed part time. I am mostly interested in walking and drop ins. I am upfront about my availability and let you know when I can or cannot do a service. I am extremely friendly to all pets. I am also very active which makes me a great companion for a walk (your dogs favorite word). I am respectful to peoples homes and any more instructions that you have more me are appreciated.

“Alex was fantastic with my dog, Nate! Nate can be somewhat unruly with other dogs. Alex was keen on listening to how Nate's been trained and (IMHO) had the calm demeanor that people and dogs like Nate want in a dog walker. He also communicated well and followed through on everything he signed up for. Thank you, Alex!”


About: I’ve cared for pets my whole life — dogs of all ages, guinea pigs, fish, and more. I truly enjoy giving animals love, attention, and fun! With no evening classes this semester, I have plenty of flexibility in the mornings. Walking dogs fits perfectly into my routine, and I enjoy starting the day active and outdoors. I give dogs freedom to sniff, stroll, and play at their pace—always sticking to their routine and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved.

“Megan is amazing! She was very accommodating and flexible! Fast response time and my dog Ruby loves her! I would highly recommend Megan and we will definately be having her over again!”


“Abby was great! She came and checked in/walked our puppy for a couple days. Our pup seemed to love her and she took her on a nice long walk each day. She also sent lots of pictures and a video which was great!”


“Cecille was very responsive, professional, and made time to meet our pup before watching him. She provided a detailed update with photos, and took good care of him!”


“Miranda was fantastic! Took care of our cats for a few days when a last minute trip came up and sent updates and photos each day and was super reliable. Will definitely book again!”


About: I have experience taking care of dogs of all sizes, from family pets to neighbor pets while they are away. I have fed, walked, and played with their furry friends whenever they needed it.

I am usually available any time in the weekend and holidays as well! I follow your instructions carefully to keep routines consistent, whether that's feeding, playtime, potty break, litter cleaning, or snuggles. I send regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing.

Laura is super thoughtful too, and she seems very experienced with hosting and handling cats.”


About: I have worked in the pet care industry in some capacity since I was 16 years old. This includes experience working in kennels, doggy daycares, dog walking, and overnight pet sitting! I am currently in medical school, trying to maintain my passion for pets while funding my education. I have worked with dogs and cats of all ages and sizes, and look forward to giving your pet all the love and care they need and more! As a medical student, I am occupied during the morning, but I am typically available most afternoons and evenings, and every weekend. I have even more availability during holidays and breaks! Every pet I care for gets my undivided attention for the entirety of the service. In addition, I have been trained and certified in pet CPR and first aid multiple times over the years (last renewed in June 2023), and am happy to abide by any specific safety rules you provide.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10 or 11. I have always grew up with dogs in my family household. I love caring for them, playing with them, and taking them on walks! I work full time but I’d love to walk your doggies when I am not needed at my job. I will of course try to keep any one that wants service updated on my availability. I will always treat your pets with respect and love and provide the utmost care. I will also always make sure their needs are met and that they feel safe.


“Kartik regularly provides our k9's with first class care at a very reasonable cost. Not only is he professional and well trusted but he is also pleasant and enjoyable to communicate with. We have every intention of continuing our ongoing Rover relationship with Kartik for the foreseeable future.”

Penrose Park pet parents share their Rover experiences
Caroline was amazing with Hudson. She was able to accommodate my last minute request and she did so without any angst. I came home a bit early on my last day and Hudson was more than happy running out the door to greet Caroline. Truly I appreciate all the care she gave Hudson.

Lisa did great job taking care of my puppies!. She followed all the instructions and gave them extra love, daily cuddles and special care at the time of thunderstorm, just to make sure they were comfortable. I came home to calm, well taken care of dogs, her love and attention is greatly appreciated!

Kiwi is just amazing! She took great care of my cat for over a month and was super responsive and considerate the whole time. She also went out of her way to vacuum the area around the litter box during each drop-in visit. Please definitely consider Kiwi if you are looking for someone that’s caring, dependable, and knowledgeable!
