“Jenna was quick to respond and provide a picture at the start and end of her walk with my pup! At the end of the walk I would have appreciated an overview of how the walk went with a bit more detail eg. he went #2 and it was solid, he mostly sniffed around, etc.”

“Clare has been great about working to get to know our anxious dog before housesitting for us. Millie came back happy from her walk.”

About: I've been around cats and dogs my whole life, and get along with animals large and small. I've trained anxious dogs to love walks, and even taught a cat to roll over. A good day to me has at least one puppy cuddle! I'm a remote freelancer, so I can easily fit around you and your pet's schedule! I know every pet and every pet parent has their own habits and patterns, so I work to make sure things are as consistent as possible, honoring your home and your schedule.

“Cari is our absolute favorite sitter for our Holly dog. She is flexible, reliable, kind and generous with love and affection. Holly always comes back home from Cari hikes exhausted and happy!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs my entire life and am completely comfortable with dogs of all sizes, especially large breeds. ​Whether your dog needs a structured walk, basic reinforcement of good behavior, or attentive drop-in care while you’re away, I provide reliable, capable support. I also offer morning feedings during walks if your routine requires it, ensuring your dog is fed, walked, and settled right on schedule. ​Beyond standard care, I bring extensive hands-on experience administering medications including insulin injections and complex treatments such as chemotherapy—giving you total peace of mind if your pup has specialized medical needs. ​I’m confident handling different temperaments and energy levels, and I always prioritize safety, consistency, and clear, proactive communication with owners. Let’s team up to keep your dog happy, healthy, and thriving! ​I offer consistent, reliable care and am available for walks and drop-ins. You can expect a steady routine tailored to your dog's needs, including feeding, exercise, and any required medications. I prioritize clear, proactive communication with timely updates and photos during every visit so you always know your pup is doing well. Every service is approached with a strict focus on safety, consistency, and respect for your dog's unique temperament. I have a fully fenced yard and two friendly, well-managed dogs. I’m experienced introducing dogs safely and can separate or crate as needed based on temperament and owner preference. I maintain a structured, low-stress environment and closely supervise all interactions. I follow owner instructions carefully, including feeding routines, medications, and activity levels. Clean, secure, and safety-focused at all times.

About: I provide calm, attentive, and reliable pet care tailored to each animal’s needs. I had my own dog for 13 years, who passed away last year, giving me deep understanding of lifelong care and companionship. I’ve also been a dog foster and worked with multiple rescue groups, caring for dogs with a wide range of temperaments, including shy, anxious, and high-energy personalities. In addition, I have extensive pet sitting experience with all kinds of animals. I’m comfortable with daily routines, walks, playtime, and basic medications, and I bring patience, presence, and genuine care to every pet I look after. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I have a flexible work schedule that allows me to prioritize visits, walks, and check-ins throughout the day. I’m able to adjust my availability as needed, which helps me be reliable for both last-minute and recurring bookings. I structure my week around my commitments so I can give each pet consistent, attentive care without feeling rushed. This flexibility allows me to provide dependable support and maintain a calm, present energy with every animal I care for. I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment in every pet care situation. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions closely to keep the pet’s routine consistent and stress-free. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure at all times and never take risks during walks or outdoor time. I keep a close eye on behavior, appetite, and energy levels so I can quickly notice if something feels off. I also maintain cleanliness in feeding areas and litter boxes, and ensure pets always have fresh water and a comfortable environment. My goal is to create a safe, grounded presence so pets feel secure, cared for, and at ease while their owners are away.

“Connor was great! Very friendly guy, easy to get in touch with and kept me in the loop. Looked like him and my Berner Bruce had fun!”

“I’m a healthcare traveler working in town for only 9 weeks. I needed someone reliable to walk my dog while I worked long shifts. Alyssa was wonderful with my dog, reliable, kind and available for last minute requests if I had to work late. She answered texts quickly and was wonderful with my dog and crazy schedule! Highly recommend.”

Karen D.

About: I have been working with animals for 18 years. Everything from dogs and cats, to horses, reptiles, small animals, birds and fish. I have managed and worked at daycare and boarding facilities, vet clinics, foster care programs, and have been a dog trainer for the last 7 years. I have experience with selective dogs, fearful dogs/cats, the highest of high energy dogs (I have a Dutch Shepherd and a Malincollie, so I have a special place in my heart for the high drive breeds) puppies/kittens, and seniors. I’ve never met a dog I couldn’t win over; I am patient, gentle, approachable, and have done extensive work on understanding body language in order to help every dog I meet. I currently am a dog trainer part time on Tuesdays and Thursdays, with the occasional weekend outdoor trip. Other than that, my schedule is open. I care for every animal the way I would want my pets treated. I ensure their safety, happiness, cleanliness, as well as mental and psychical stimulation and exercise. Every animal in my care will have the time of their lives with proper outlets, and proper feeding and potty schedules.

“We absolutely love Maegan and so do our pups!! She’s wonderful with them, always on time, great communicator, and I wish we could give her 10 Stars ⭐️”

“I can’t recommend Natalie highly enough! She has been an absolute lifesaver for me and my dog, Blue. From the very first walk, it was clear how much she genuinely cares about the dogs she works with. Blue can be a little energetic and stubborn at times, but Natalie handles him with so much patience, confidence, and kindness—it’s honestly impressive. She is always punctual, reliable, and communicates consistently, sending updates and photos that give me total peace of mind while I’m away. It’s such a great feeling knowing that Blue is not only getting exercise, but also getting attention, affection, and someone who truly enjoys spending time with him. Natalie goes above and beyond every time—whether it’s making sure Blue has fresh water, giving him extra playtime, or just noticing little things about his behavior and keeping me informed. You can tell she takes pride in what she does, and it shows in the way she treats every walk like it matters. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely passionate about dogs, Natalie is the one. I’m so grateful we found her on Rover, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for top-notch care for their pet.”

About: *I currently have a 4 year old, neutered male, Border Collie mix* (If booking for 4 days or more, I prefer to bring him with me. If it's less than 4 days I can work with leaving him at home.) I've had dogs in my life since I was about 8 years old. My mom bred our dogs and I would help her. I helped to birth the puppies, feed and wash them, weigh them and track their progress, train and care for them. Since I was 18 I've adopted six dogs. One of them was deaf and blind when I adopted her. I've never been the first home for any of my doggos but I've been the best/most loving final home for all of them. I work part time and have plenty of time to spend with animals. I usually take my dog out for a stretch/potty every couple of hours and we walk at least once a day. I'm constantly looking for new parks and fun places to play. I have a three year old Border Collie mix that gets along well with other dogs and cats. The yard is fenced but there's no doggy door. I have some crates of various sizes if needed. The fur babies are allowed on the bed and all of the furniture at my house. I frequently pet/house sit for a Pitbull mix and she's one of my dogs besties. She has medication and a special diet. I've also frequently had my dad's dogs visit. So my dog is used to both having separate food and sharing in a communal pack. Whenever we pet/house sit we follow their house rules (i.e. - no dogs on the furniture or in the kitchen, etc). I'm trusted with keys to multiple homes and never stop by unless asked to.

About: I have owned dogs (and other pets) for pretty much all of my life. I also volunteer at the local shelter and so I have interacted with all breeds/types of dogs. I am happy to accommodate for any unique needs that your pet has, and will offer a fun and loving environment that will give you peace of mind while you are away. I recently graduated from PA school and am in the process of finding my long-term job. While I wait I have a lot of availability for pet sitting! I care for every pet as if they were my own while following their owner’s instructions and routine. I prioritize safety by keeping pets supervised and making sure doors, gates, and their environment are secure. I provide plenty of attention, exercise, fresh water; and care while keeping their schedule as consistent as possible.

About: My family has owned dogs since I was about 4 years old. I currently have a 12 year old dog that I love to take on long walks. I have been dog sitting for my family a few times a year for about 10 years and would love to help out with yours! I have a fairly flexible job so as long as I am given enough notice I would be happy to fit in a walk/drop in visit for your animals! I am interested in Dog walking more than anything but my number one priority is making sure the pet I am with feels safe and comfortable. I am very careful to watch body language and if they don't like something, I will do whatever I can to make sure it stops happening.

“Melia was able to walk my dog while I was out and he had a great time! Melia provided photos of the walk and was also able to accommodate feeding him after the walk, which was a huge help for us! Thanks Melia!”
