“We were very happy with Jeannette's service. I asked her to walk my dog twice daily for 5 days while we were away. She was very professional and I felt very comfortable communicating with her and didn't have to worry about my dog while she was taking care of her. I would highly recommend Jeannette and we will definitely ask her to take care of my dog again!!!”

Mayumi S.

“You’ve done such a great job with Miss Ana Banana as always !”

Marco & Skylar S.

“Macy is awesome! She is so understanding, patient, and loving with our two labs (including one that takes a while to warm up)! Macy has excellent communication and is always on time, often early. It gives me such peace of mind to see how much our dogs love their weekly walks with her!”

Samantha D.

“Marcela was great! My dogs liked her and it was a relief to not have to worry about them. Marcela notified me when she arrived and left, and sent pictures of the dogs too! Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve been a devoted dog owner and animal lover for more than 20 years and caring for pets has always been a meaningful part of my life. Over the years, I’ve shared my home with a wide variety of personalities and breeds, including Boxers, Pomeranians, Peek-a-Poms, Chihuahuas, Chorkies, American Staffordshire Terriers, and Schnauzers. I’ve personally trained every dog I’ve owned from puppyhood through adulthood, including basic obedience, crate training, leash walking, fetch, potty training, and bell training. That experience taught me that every dog learns differently, and that patience, consistency, positive reinforcement, and understanding a dog’s individual personality go a long way. I’m comfortable with everything from the energetic puppy who wants to play all day to the dog who would rather curl up beside you and keep you company. I pay close attention to body language, energy levels, routines, and the little things that help a dog feel secure and comfortable in a new environment. My goal isn’t simply to “watch” your dog... it’s to make them feel safe, loved, included, and comfortable while you’re away. My experience extends well beyond dogs, too. I’ve owned and cared for Parakeets, Cockatiels, a Mitred Conure, African Grey, Moluccan Cockatoo, and Yellow-Nape Amazon. Caring for these very different animals has given me an appreciation for how important it is to respect each pet’s unique temperament, routine, communication style, and needs. What I bring to your pet: -20+ years of hands-on pet ownership and care -Experience with multiple breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities -Puppy-to-adult experience with training and basic obedience -Comfortable reinforcing established commands, crate routines, leash manners, and potty routines -A calm, patient approach that prioritizes positive reinforcement -Plenty of play, exercise, attention, affection, and companionship -Close attention to your pet’s normal routine and individual personality -Understanding that some pets need adventure and activity, while others need a quiet place to relax -Experience caring for both dogs and companion birds -Most importantly, genuine love for animals and not just a love of the Rover job When your dog stays with me, they’re not being treated like a guest... they’re being welcomed like family! ❤️🐾 As a retired U.S. Navy Veteran, I'm fortunate to have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to devote to pets in my care. Animals naturally fit into my daily routine, from morning walks and playtime to companionship, feeding, training reinforcement, and plenty of love and attention. I enjoy an active lifestyle and genuinely appreciate having dogs as part of my everyday life. Whether your pet is staying in my home, enjoying a drop-in visit, or joining me for a walk, I provide personalized, attentive care built around their routine, personality, and comfort level. I'm dependable, responsible, and able to give your pet plenty of time and attention. -Boarding: While staying in my home, they'll have access to a secure, fenced-in yard for safe outdoor play, potty breaks, and supervised time outside. They'll also have a friendly, senior Chihuahua companion to keep them company. -Drop-Ins: I'll make sure your pet gets the attention, fresh water, feeding, potty breaks, playtime, and affection they need. -Walks: I focus on safe enjoyable exercise while reinforcing good leash manners (if needed), and allowing ample time for your dog to sniff, explore, and enjoy the fresh air. Above all, I treat every pet as an individual and strive to make them feel safe and loved!

About: I’ve had all sorts of pets since I was a kid. I have taken care of dogs, cats, reptiles, and small animals such as guinea pigs and chinchillas! I have summers off so I have a lot of time to spend with your pets while you go on summer vacations! Whether care is in your home or mine, you can rest assured that they are being cared for with as much love and attention as you show them at home. I have a fenced in backyard and two dogs to keep your dog company. We don’t typically crate our pets but we can if need be. If I’m caring for a pet in your home, I do drops in multiple times a day for potty breaks and a little play time.

“Benji simply adores Kay! She is attentive and adventurous — taking him on nice long walks in our neighborhood. She is timely and thoughtful - sending periodic photos to check-in on his well-being and responding to any inquiries with minutes. To put it plainly, she deserves five stars — would absolutely recommend!”

About: Growing up with pets and currently living with family dogs, including two adults and four puppies has given me hands-on experience with all stages of a dog's life. As an active youth soccer coach and language teacher, my approach to dog walking centers entirely on safety, patience, and clear communication. When I am out on a walk with your pup, my focus is 100% on them. I am highly vigilant about my surroundings, ensuring we avoid busy traffic, unleashed animals, or items on the sidewalk they shouldn't eat. I am incredibly patient with dogs that love to pause and sniff, and I have the stamina to keep up with high-energy breeds that need a faster pace. You can always count on receiving detailed updates and photos after every single walk so you know exactly how your dog's outing went! Because I work as a language teacher and youth soccer coach, my days are structured around distinct, predictable blocks of time. This structure allows me to seamlessly fit pet care into my morning window (6:00 AM – 11:00 AM) and my midday window (12:00 PM – 3:00 PM) before my evening practices start. I update my Rover calendar weekly to align perfectly with my teaching lessons and coaching sessions. This ensures that when I am booked for a walk, I have zero outside distractions and can dedicate my full attention to your dog's exercise and safety. Since I only offer dog walking services, I focus entirely on providing exceptional care at the client's home. Before entering, I carefully review the owner's entry instructions to ensure the home remains secure. Once inside, I greet the dog calmly, properly secure their collar or harness, and double-check that the leash is safely attached. After our walk, I ensure the dog has fresh water, wipe their paws if needed, and securely lock the client's door exactly as requested. I always send a detailed Rover card update with photos before leaving.

“Hieu & Anna did another amazing job caring for our dog. We greatly appreciate their help and keep us updated on our dog’s separation anxiety. I’m glad they were able to provide her with comfort and care during our trip!”

About: I’ve been a dog lover and pet owner for years! I have a Labrador who I’ve card for since she was just 8 weeks old, so I have firsthand experience with everything from the puppy stage to caring for an adult dog. I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and plenty of attention, and of course, lots of love. I have also helped care for my neighbor’s dogs while they were away, including taking them on walks and making sure they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I treat every dog like I would my own and want owners to feel completely comfortable knowing their pet is in caring and attentive hands. I work part-time remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. Since I’m home for much of the day, I’m available for regular walks, potty breaks, playtime, feeding, and lots of companionship. My schedule also gives me flexibility throughout the week, so I can easily work pet care into my routine and make sure each pet gets attention and care they’re used to. My Lab, Holiday, is a very laid back girl, so I’m used to letting dogs settle into a routine that works for their individual personality and energy level. She eats twice a day and gets about four walks throughout the day, with plenty of time to relax and nap in between. When she’s awake and ready to play we spend lots of time together. Her personal version of fetch is seeing how many toys she can collect in her mouth at once, and she loves a good game of tug of war! I like to balance exercise, attention, and downtime, and I’m happy to follow each pet’s normal routine so they feel as comfortable and at home as possible.

“Very friendly and responsive. Lexi is excited to see her which is so reassuring. Will continue to look for Maria when I need care for my Lexi.”

About: I’ve worked with other dogs before and genuinely enjoy making them happy. I also love observing how well I get along with them and forming connections with them. It fits perfectly because I work with dogs every day, and I love coming back to hang out with them every chance I get. I love making connections. I ensure that they have access to certain things and refrain from feeding them anything that could make them ill. Additionally, I provide them with information about the activities they can engage in to prevent them from falling sick.

“Very caring and professional! Always took the best care of our Charlee Girl!”

About: I've taken care of pets all of my life, being born into a dog and cats household. My passion for pets has led me to working in places that are centered around animals, and my professional experience has given me a great foundation in pet health, nutrition, training and behavior. Animals are my calling in life, and hanging out with them for a living is not a job for me but a dream! P.S. Prices negotiable, open to discuss and find solutions! I am a college student with an wide availability schedule. While I have a party time job and some classes, I am always open to working together and figuring out a schedule that works. I do prefer evenings/weekends, but I am flexible most of the time. I will follow all pet parent instructions clearly and explicitly, no matter how much effort it might take. I care about animals deeply and will sacrifice my own time to deliver proper care. With my wide expertise in pet care, I am also open to working with special needs pets. Happy to answer any questions and concerns you may have.

“Lauren is on time and reliable. She has walked our dog on multiple occassions when we've taken day trips and will definitely book with her again.”
