About: Hi! Im Erin and I LOVE animals! They are our "furry babies" and we have a duty to make sure they are well taken care of like any other family member! I've been caring for pets since I was a child and have welcomed several breeds and varieties in my home over the years from cats, dogs, birds, bunnies, snakes, turtles, even horses and pigs! I have a cat and a bunny who are friendly and love meeting new pets! My cat Oliver is a loving and cool "big bro" and my bunny Lucy will keep everyone happy and energetic! I know its hard to leave those precious babies home alone while you work all day so let me be their "best friend" when you need the help! I am an Insurance Agent so I work from home most of the week. I have my weekends off but I have time during the week to care for your pets in between meetings and in the evenings. I am not hosting at the moment due to renovations in my home, but I will gladly come to your home to take out your pets or to feed and keep them company while you are away on business or holiday. I am willing to stay at your residence to care for your pets if accommodations are available. I will be willing to wash and perform light grooming if needed and take them where you'd like with and other amenities your pet may need. All can be discussed and negotiated for the situation.
“Amazing! Teresa is an absolute gem. She's professional & personable, patient & knowledgeable. She's extremely responsive and so very kind - to both people & pets. Highly highly recommend!”

About: Hi! I’m a dedicated pet lover with hands-on experience working at a professional boarding facility for a year, where I cared for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and needs. That experience taught me how to handle everything from high-energy pups to more anxious or shy dogs, always with patience and care. I also have two dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I treat every animal like they’re part of my own family and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m available any time, any day, and offer a wide range of services including walks, drop-ins, and boarding. I’m very reliable and always keep owners updated with messages and photos so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. Whether your pet needs playtime, structure, or just some extra love and attention, I’m here to help! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine since I’m available full-time and have a very flexible schedule. I plan my days around the pets I’m caring for to make sure they get consistent attention, exercise, and care throughout the day. Since I’m available any time, I can accommodate early mornings, late evenings, and last-minute bookings. Your pet will never be left alone for long periods, and I make sure they’re always a priority in my schedule. I provide attentive, personalized care based on each pet’s routine and needs. In my home, I create a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where pets can relax, play, and feel at home. I follow their normal feeding, walking, and sleeping schedules as closely as possible to keep things consistent and stress-free. In a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain their pet’s routine exactly as instructed. This includes feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care like administering medication if needed. I also make sure pets get plenty of attention, affection, and supervision at all times. With my experience working at a boarding facility, I’m comfortable handling different temperaments and ensuring every pet feels safe and well cared for.
“Jasmine picked River up for their walk at the park for the second day. Once he came home he crashed hard again. He had such a good time. Jasmine was very attentive to River and it showed in his reaction.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for many years and have had pets my entire life. I currently have three dogs of my own, so I truly understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet—they’re family. I genuinely love spending time with dogs and getting to know their unique personalities. Whether your dog is energetic and playful, shy, or more laid-back, I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and happy. I stick closely to your dog’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any medications if needed. My home has a fenced yard for safe, supervised playtime and plenty of exercise. I also have three friendly dogs who are used to being around others. I always take introductions slowly to make sure everyone feels comfortable, and I can separate dogs if needed so they have their own space. While you’re away, I’ll treat your dog like one of my own—giving them lots of attention, care, and affection. I send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, loved, and in good hands. My goal is simple: a happy, well-cared-for dog and a stress-free experience for you. My schedule is flexible, so I’m able to give pets plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I’m available during the week and weekends, and your dog won’t be left alone for long periods. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priority. I have a fenced yard for safe, supervised playtime and follow each dog’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, and any medications.
“Ashlynn was a fantastic person caring for my two chocolate labs! She was always reliable and came to care for them at times I requested. She gave plenty of updates and that was really appreciated. I would definitely trust her again with my fur babies. Thanks again, Ashlynn!”

“Reyna is a phenomenal rover. Her professionalism and keen attention to detail is unmatched when dealing with my fur buddy. When I mention his rover is on the way soon, his excitement is out the roof. If you're looking for a committed rover, that communicates extremely well, ensures your fur baby is safe, and makes your life unbelievably easier. Reyna is definitely the one 🙌🏾🙌🏾”

About: I am 27 years old and a recent graduate at Johnson and Wales University. I have been taking care of my dog India for the past 6 years I even trained her on my own. I even took her to college with me for 4 years. I also took care of a Scottish terrier when we had her when I was in high school. I currently help take care of and train my grandparents schnauzers. I have taken my dog on many walks and bath her weekly. I have experience taking care of a cat as well as horses! I am adept at dealing with dogs with separation anxiety, PTSD, and big personalities. I currently work full time and my schedule varies based on the week and holidays. I typically have off Tuesday, Sundays so I will be available all day those days. I am also usually off by 3 at work. I have a fenced in backyard but due to my dog India being so small we typically keep her on a leash when taking her outside. For my 2 lab puppies they just wander the backyard. I do request a meet and greet for most bookings for safety reasons for new clients. At your home I will ensure all instructions are followed based on the needs of your pets!
“I have two dogs that love going for walks with Lisa while I'm at work. I get updates and photos of their walk along with two very happy and tired dogs by the time i get home.”

“Chelsey was wonderful! She did a last minute dog walk for my dog Pig and he loved it! Chelsey was super responsive sent lots of updates and pics and made sure he came back tired and ready for a long nap.”

“Ashley is an amazing dog walker! She walks my rambunctious 9 month old black lab 4 days a week. Ashley takes great care to give my dog what she needs and spend quality time with her when I’m at work all day. She takes lots of pictures and give detailed updates as well. I would HIGHLY recommend her :)”

“My boys love getting out of the house while I work during the week. Miranda is great about finding time within her schedule to come to my home once or twice a week to walk both of my dogs. Both of my dogs have very different personality and she is patient and kind to both of them.”

“Had to find a sitter last minute and made a good choice. Went above and beyond for both of the girls. Very helpful and stayed in touch the entire time! Highly recommend!”

About: Hello I have unfortunately never had any dog friends growing up. I watch dog sometime sporadically through the years when friends find out that I love dogs. I would love the experience to take care of and watch dogs. I also want to be more active in my community. Everything I will be learning and taking it with me throughout the years to come for when I own my own dog one day. During the summer I do not work much so I am available during the week. I would lover for Rover to give me some extra income. During tax season I work at a tax office all week. I would give dogs lots of attention and love that they need. I follow directions and I am very attentive so if ur dog needs anything differently than other dogs I can do it.

I am comfortable administering medications as well as providing specialized services. Thank you for trusting me with your precious family member.
Portsmouth Heights dog parents share their Rover experiences
Leigh is an incredible caregiver for pets. She was so sweet and very helpful watching over my dog and 2 cats. We used her weekly and at times when we traveled. She’s very reliable, texts you immediately about anything she notices that may seem off with your pet, and sits with your animals to comfort them and make them feel loved. Please don’t hesitate to contact Leigh and book her. You won’t regret it!

Ashlynn is a great communicator, very warm and friendly. Unfortunately plans changed on our end ant the very last minute and we ended up not needing her. But she was very responsive, responsible and flexible and will be at the top of our list for future needs.

Erin has been a regular walker and dog sitter for my Doberman for the last month. She has been amazing taking her on 3 walks a day and staying all day-night when I’ve been out of town for business. Dog requires meds (she won’t take voluntarily) and has had a few bouts of stomach issues. Erin sends pics and a score card from each walk that shows how long and what route she walked with dog. Highly recommended!

My boys love getting out of the house while I work during the week. Miranda is great about finding time within her schedule to come to my home once or twice a week to walk both of my dogs. Both of my dogs have very different personality and she is patient and kind to both of them.

Kelsey has been a God-send…. This was his first time coming by since I got my fence put up. He went out and walked the perimeter of the fence before he went back in to let my puppy out to make sure the gate wasn’t open. Then proceeded to entertain my high energy pup his whole visit. Thank you so much!

Brayden is beyond lovely, from the moment of my interview with him through every single visit! Extremely respectful as well as kind, and so are his boys who join him occasionally. My girl loves them all and she always has the biggest smile on her face when they are together. My favorite quality of Brayden is that while he is a super fun dog walker he also provides structure for your pup, making sure they are having fun but maintaining boundaries at the same time which is so important especially if your dog is still in training. A few more things are that he is respectful of the home, communicates very well, and is extremely flexible. Brayden is so wonderful and he is the first name out of my mouth for anyone looking for pet care.
