About: I am a former employee at All Good Dogs: Day Care and Boarding. Aside from working the front desk, I would take care of as many as 20 dogs at a time. Some of my responsibilities include feeding them on time, making sure they received their medication on time, playing with them, loving them, and of course taking adorable pictures! I have an extremely flexible schedule. I am usually available 7 days a week, with varying times. Like I said before, I am flexible and will be able to work with anyones schedule. I provide a safe, loving environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for. I follow each pet’s routine closely: feeding, walking, playtime, and giving lots of affection. I ensure clean spaces, fresh water, and regular updates to the owner. I respect every pet’s unique needs and make their comfort my priority.
About: What really sets me apart is the amount of hands-on experience I’ve had with cats over the years. I’ve fostered so many cats—everything from tiny kittens to older adults—and I’ve helped several of them find loving forever homes. I’ve also taken care of sick cats, so I’m comfortable giving basic medications and paying close attention to any changes in their behavior. I’ve had two cats of my own in the past, so I fully understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone. I’m very patient, gentle, and genuinely love being around cats. Whether it’s keeping their litter box extra clean, sticking to their routines, or just giving them comfort and attention, I always treat every cat like they’re my own. I currently work in a hybrid setup. I’m remote on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, which gives me a lot of flexibility on those days, as well as on weekends For cats, I provide full access to my home in a calm, safe, and comfortable environment where they can relax and explore at their own pace. I have a kitten of my own who is very friendly, affectionate, and gets along well with other pets. I understand that every cat has its own routine and preferences, so I’m happy to learn and follow any specific instructions to ensure your cat feels at ease. My goal is to give them a comfortable stay while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re well cared for. Since I know cats can take time to adjust to new environments, your cat will have a private room initially to settle in. Gradual introductions will be done thoughtfully, even if they are typically friendly with other cats. I take hygiene, cleanliness, and safety very seriously. As a cat owner, it’s my top priority to maintain a clean, secure, and stress-free space for both my pets and your.
“Yin did a great job with our puppy Brock while we were away - she came in a few days before hand to get to know him, and despite how rambunctious he can be at first, she was able to calm him down and he did very well with her. She was very on time, would always share updates, and was very kind. Would definitely use her in the future!”

“We had an excellent first experience with Leigha! She did a wonderful job walking my dogs. She was punctual, professional, and clearly cares about the pets in her care.

“I can't say enough good things about Rebecca. She was friendly, enthusiastic and reliable. My dog loved her. She walked and ran with him. When we say "Rebecca is coming" He runs to the door , sits wagging his tail. If anybody needs a wonderful dog walker. Rebecca is it.”
About: I have loved animals my entire life and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. Whether it’s an energetic puppy or a senior dog that needs extra patience and care, I am attentive to each dog’s individual needs and know how to read their behavior to make them feel comfortable and safe. I helped train my dog, Moose, and have also cared for my family’s dogs through dog sitting and walking. What sets me apart is the genuine joy I get from bonding with animals. I truly love spending time with dogs and creating a positive, caring environment where they feel happy, comfortable, and loved. I am currently home for a few months before moving to start my full time job, so I have a very flexible schedule. I am available most days with a bit of notice and can accommodate early mornings, evenings, or late nights depending on what works best for you and your pet! I provide attentive and safe care for pets both at home and in clients homes. At home, my dog has a fenced in backyard for exercise and play, and I always supervise him while he is outside. On walks, I use a harness because it is safest and most comfortable option for his walking style. I always pay close attention to a pet’s behavior, comfort, and safety during walks and visits.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since I was a teenager, and animals have always been a huge part of my life. Growing up around both dogs and cats taught me how to understand their different personalities, needs, and behaviors from an early age. Over the years, I’ve gained hands on experience with pets of all ages, and sizes. I truly enjoy creating a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for them. Whether it’s going on walks, playtime, feeding, giving medication, or simply providing companionship and affection, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet who is a part of your family. I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is always to make pets feel happy, and cared for while their owners are away. I am currently a law student and will also be completing a summer internship. With a flexible schedule and the ability to work from home two days a week, I’m available throughout the day for walks, drop-in visits, feedings, playtime, and companionship. I also offer overnight stays to help pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. I understand the importance of reliability, communication, and consistency when caring for someone’s pet, and I’m committed to providing attentive and dependable care that fits each pet’s individual needs. I provide care for pets in the comfort of their own home, where they can stay in a familiar and stress-free environment while their owners are away. I make it a priority to follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I understand that every pet has a different personality and comfort level, so I always take the time to build trust and make them feel safe, calm, and cared for. In addition to meeting their daily needs, I also provide plenty of attention, companionship, and affection so pets feel comfortable while their owners are away. Whether it’s keeping an energetic dog active with walks and playtime or giving a cat quiet companionship and care, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I also make sure owners feel reassured by providing updates, photos, and clear communication throughout the stay.
“We are so lucky to have found Stacey! My dogs absolutely adored her from the moment they met her. Even our dog with anxiety issues felt comfortable in her care right away! Stacey has been easy to work with to schedule both dog walks and dog sitting stays. Thanks Stacey!!”
Pleasant Plains dog parents share their Rover experiences
This is the third or fourth time I’ve had Hon come to take care of Woody while I’m on a trip, and I find that he continues to go above and beyond to make sure my baby feels loved while my kids and I are away. I know that my house is safe with him too. We really lucked out with Hon and I would highly recommend him to anyone!
Linda has been walking my Golden Retriever puppy, Finn, all this week. Linda’s calm, capable & caring energy instantly put me at ease. Finn warmed up to her right away, and now he’s very excited to see her every time she arrives! Linda is reliable, trustworthy, and she prioritizes communication, which is invaluable. I’m happy to have found her, and I highly recommend Linda for all your dog walking needs!
Avi has been an amazing dog walker for Astro. From the very start, Astro absolutely loved him and was always so excited and happy to go on walks with him. Avi is reliable, caring, and clearly has a natural connection with dogs. We always felt comfortable knowing Astro was in great hands. Highly recommend Avi to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive dog walker.
Amy is very thoughtful, attentive, and caring towards our dogs! We have two pitties who are active and playful. One of our pups required a slow introduction and Amy was so great with it and after a giving her some space initially, our pup warmed right up to her. Amy was communicative and let us know how the dogs were on the visit and throughout the walk. We will definitely book with her again!
Seriously, this young lady was the best dog walker ever! Purva was always on time, reliable, and great with my dog. My neighbors would agree. My crazy ADHD dog loved his walks with her. He'd go nuts when he heard her car. She could handle his energy and kept me updated with pics and texts. Plus, her prices were the best!! You should totally book Purva!
