“Ari was exceptional! She was amazing with our two year old ‘puppy’. Her communication was excellent. She kept us updated on everything and observed lots of little details that gave us great confidence she was on top of everything. I would highly recommend her.”


“Reno was a lifesaver and took on a last minute request for a few days while we were away on vacation. Excellent, fast communication, professional. Will definitely be booking with Reno again!”


“This is my first time using a dog-walking service. I was extremely nervous. However, Areana ensured that I would be comfortable. Ms.Areana remained in constant communication, very professional, and seemed extremely nice. She completed all of my requests with no hesitation nor issues. Even after just one experience I would recommend her services. Looking forward to using her again in the near future. Note: I love how Areana sends photographs of the experience as well as a documentation of what occurred on the walk.”


About: I have spent my entire life with multiple dogs and cats and even snakes in the house. I have always been attracted to tougher breeds / rescues / special needs animals so no pet is to much to handle! :) Available to help with whatever your pet needs today. I work 9-5 from home with an extremely flexible schedule. Walks, in home visits, and even short boards are never going to be a problem! I have experience with dogs that free roam, need leashes, use leads, can always crate if needed. Special feeding schedule? No problem! Do they need extra care on walks? Easy as cake. I have taken multiple obedience courses with my own pups to ensure I can safely handle any pup that needs help.

About: Hello! I’m Monica. I’m a medical student with an enormous love for dogs! I’m too busy to have my own dog, so I have a lot of love to give. I will gladly play catch with them and give them plenty of back scratches. I am detailed oriented, so if you have a routine with your pets I am sure to follow it. I look forward to hearing from you and meeting your fur angels. My schedule changes every month. Often, I am best available in the late afternoons, evenings, and weekends. There are times when I don’t go in until late morning, and therefore could walk a pet early morning. When taking care of a pet, I will respect your home like my own. I leave a space either the same or better than what I originally encounter.

“Dawn is wonderful! She was very friendly and great with my large dog, Bear. She was calm and in command during their multiple dog walks. And I appreciate the photos and video along the walk.”


About: I’ve spent my whole life around dogs — from caring for my own pup for 14 years to walking neighborhood dogs growing up. I also worked for a professional dog walking company for 2 years before moving to the city. I’ve handled dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments, and I’m comfortable with everything from high-energy puppies to senior dogs. I offer dog walking and drop-in visits with a flexible schedule and a genuine love for animals. Your pet’s comfort and safety are always my top priority. I work full time as flight attendant but I have a flexible and often open schedule between trips. Although my availability is variable, I’m able to offer consistent and reliable care during the days and times that I’m home. My job allows me blocks of free time during the week—perfect for daytime walks, drop-in visits, or extended stays. I understand the importance of routine and communication, and I make it a priority to keep your pet happy, safe, and well-cared-for while you’re away. When I’m in town, your pup has my full attention! While offering walks and drop-in visits, I tailor each experience to meet your dog’s specific needs. Safety and trust are always my top priorities, and I focus on clear, consistent communication with every client. Since I’ll be caring for your pup in your home, I treat your space with the utmost respect and make sure each visit is personalized and thoughtful.

“Kyle was so so sweet! He took such good care of our pets and sent so many photos /videos. He was super attentive and asked questions to better understand our pups routine to make sure he kept them consistent. Already booked him for another trip cause he was truly awesome to work with. Thanks Kyle!! 😊”


About: I love animals! I have been pet sitting and house sitting for three years now for various clients. I have been around dogs my entire life, and grew up with cats. Caring for your pets and being able to make them happy is the highlight of my day! I am also comfortable with watering plants, bringing in mail and setting out the trash, and other household needs that you may require while youre out of town! My availability is flexible and open. I can even do same day pet sits as well as drop ins and walks if that is what’s needed. For clients, I always make sure to take notes on their instructions of caring for their pets and keep their phone number close if anything comes up. I also frequently send pictures of the pets so they know they are well and safe.

“Leila was amazing with Sammy and very kind. She was able to come get the key the night before and do a meet and greet with Sammy and he took to her immediately. We will definitely consider her for future walks.”


About: Hi, I’m Jahnia! I’ve been surrounded by dogs since I was 7 years old, and caring for animals isn’t just something I do, it’s who I am. I truly believe every pet has their own personality, needs, and quirks, and I take the time to read their body language, notice the small things, and make sure they feel safe, happy, and understood. I’m patient, trustworthy, and always keep open communication so you know exactly how your fur baby is doing while you’re away. Whether it’s energetic playtime, long walks, snuggle sessions, or just a calming presence, I’ll meet your pet where they are and treat them like my own. When you book with me, you’re getting more than a sitter, you’re getting a caring partner who loves what they do and makes sure your pet feels loved every single moment you’re gone. Let’s make your next trip worry-free, and your pet’s days full of tail wags! 🐶✨ Because I work remotely and have a flexible schedule, pet care fits seamlessly into my day. I can easily adjust my breaks and work hours to provide walks, playtime, feeding, or check-ins whenever your pet needs them. Having my own car also means I can quickly get to your home, transport pets if needed, or handle any unexpected situations. Your pet’s comfort and routine always come first, and I’m able to give them consistent attention throughout the day. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space and animals with the same respect and love I’d want for my own. I follow all instructions closely, from feeding schedules to favorite walking routes, so your pet’s routine stays consistent and comfortable. I always make sure they have fresh water, a safe environment, and plenty of attention, whether that’s playtime, walks, or cuddles. I’m also mindful to keep your home tidy, secure, and exactly how you left it, so you can return knowing both your pet and your space were well cared for.

Poplar-Ludlow-Yorktowne dog parents share their Rover experiences
Thank you for being patient with Rydyk on your first visit! Although we’re also impressed just how quickly he warmed up to you and flopped over for pets! What a nice idea to sit on the stoop for a little, I bet he loved watching what’s going on. Thanks so much!

Alicia was so wonderful she made our first walk with Rover so easy and seamless! she was very good with our pup Hank and sent pictures of the walk that they had which made us feel so comfortable and at ease while we were out of town. We highly recommend Alicia you can tell she is excellent with animals and knows what she is doing!!

Mervi was amazingly responsive and attentive dog sitter. She made sure to ask me relevant questions about how to best take care of my dog during the duration of her care and was sure to send me pictures and keep me updated proactively. I would definitely recommend Mervi to any other pet sitter. Will definitely reach out to her again in the future!
