“Christa is a lifesaver! She is so sweet and has great availability. I can leave the house with peace of mind knowing that my energetic 70 lb pup is in great hands with Christa!”
“I cannot stress enough how above and beyond Kaitlyn goes! Unfortunately she was only able to walk my Zeus for one day before we found out he had a brain tumor. Without knowing this, Kaitlyn arrived early for his walk, spent extra time with him after his walk, and was incredibly communicative. She even interacted with my neighbors who love Zeus and updated me when he got a treat from them. I’m so happy she gave him such a great day before all of this happened. It’s obvious she’s dedicated and truly cares for the animals she sits for!”
“Lizzie took my pup (Maple) on a long walk! She made sure that Maple did her business and came at the perfect time in the middle of the day! Will book with Lizzie again!”
“Maryann was very communicative, thoughtful, and knowledgeable about dogs/dog care in general. We’d hire her to watch our little one another time in a heartbeat!”
“Sam is amazing. She is patient and compassionate and in tune to animals and their needs. Professional and friendly and flexible. Zazu’s new favorite pal and future walker!”
“Oxana is amazing! Setup a meet/greet for my anxious doggy but instantly my dog loved her! She gives him so much care and love just like if my dog was her own. Couldn’t recommend anyone better than her!”
“Rebecca was kind & communicative! She made sure she knew where everything was ahead of time and took our pup for a great walk and sent lots of updates and pictures. Would happily book her again.”

My name is Pillie & my Fiancẽ is Kevin, since we have the experience and training of taking care of puppies to senior dogs & our own it brought us interest in doing the same for other pups🐶 🐾 Can't wait to bond & meet your little one ! to give them love, play, care, support & the attention they need while their parents are at work, school, vacation or etc. At our home 🏡 we will make sure your pup 🐾 feels at home.

“Baeli was incredibly accommodating - when our flight was delayed she made time in her schedule to come back one more time! Will definitely use her again if we can!!!”
“Such an incredible job she has done with Charlie! She is great with him and so patient and really takes the time to ask questions that matter (ex. “are there any habits you’re trying to break him from?” “Anything you would like to work on improving with him”). I have noticed a marked improvement in his temperament when we go for walks now. He used to be all over the place, pull on the leash, couldn’t figure out where to go. Now he walks along side me, only pulls when he meets new friends (other dogs approach) and he constantly checks (looks at me) to make sure he is doing well. I genuinely feel good knowing she is the one caring for Charlie. Highly recommend!”
“Liana was amazingly kind and patient with our somewhat anxious dog while we were away on vacation. She quickly bonded with our dog and we had no issues for the week we were away. Thanks again!”
About: From naps to zoomies, I’ve got your pet covered while you’re away—snuggles, playtime, and the occasional treat included. They'll have fun while they wait for you to return. I'm currently working remotely with a flexible schedule, so my work can be adjusted to fit the pet's needs rather than the other way around. I strive to replicate your pet's regular routine and favorite play activities to the best of my ability, based on your needs and recommendations for your little loved one.
“Setting things up with Anne was super easy. She took care and consideration of my pups and their needs. Definitely am going to have her walk the pups again when I have the need!”
About: While I'm new to professional pet sitting, I bring years of personal experience caring for cats and dogs for friends and family. I'm especially patient and attentive, with a calm presence that helps pets feel safe and comfortable. I've always loved spending time with animals. I'm currently between jobs, so my schedule is very flexible. I'm available for morning, afternoon, or evening visits. I care for pets in their own home, where they feel most safe and comfortable. I follow your instructions closely to keep feeding, litter, walks, and routines consistent. I provide calm, loving attention, playtime, and updates so you can feel at ease while you're away.
About: I have cared for dogs and cats of all sizes and ages and am able to accommodate certain requests with a conversation with you! I have been a dog owner for my whole life and a more recent cat owner, and cared for dogs and cats of friends, family, and neighbors throughout. I work part time and on an inconsistent schedule, so reach out and I can often accommodate your needs! I am better able to accommodate specific times and dates with more advance notice! I always come to your home so your furry friend feels safe and comfortable in the place they know best. I always take cues from the pet in our first interactions and will prioritize their health and safety, even if that means taking a longer time to get the job done.
About: Available for dogs or cats, both those who are more comfortable staying in their own home/environment or looking to have a vacation in a pet-free home, contact me. I have a varying flexible schedule that allows me to be available during the day for walks, drop ins, or boarding entertainment for your pet while you are busy. I have an apartment but with plentiful green space and a dog park so regardless if you choose home drop ins or boarding, your dog will get plenty of outdoor time.
About: I've been caring for dogs since I was 15, and I'm currently a proud sibling to two lovable doodles. I've also looked after my sister’s dog, Pippin (he’s the cutie in my profile pic), for extended periods while she travels. I love taking dogs on long walks, playing fetch, and making sure they feel happy and at home. I'm reliable, experienced, and treat every pup like family. I’d love to meet your furry friend!:) I am working part time from home for the summer, so I have a lot of flexibility when it comes to day time walks, or even night time stays if you are traveling! I care for pets in my home by making sure they have space to roam, plenty of water, and treats, but also by making sure food and other chewable things are out of reach.
About: I’ve had a passion for animals since I was young and have cared for animals, including cats, dogs and reptiles since I was 17 years old! Currently, I have the pleasure of working remotely which allows me the ability to care for pets more closely. This fits into my schedule well. I have a fenced in yard, former husky owner, and can do basic training as well. My top priority is the safety and happiness of your pet.

Pillie & Kevin A.
“Hi I am Noemi R, I would recommend Pillie as an awesome dog sitter cause she took good care of my chihuahua Linda. Pillie would be a responsible and loving pet caregiver cause she took care of my chihuahua Linda for 15 years and a half. She would bathe her, feed her, take her for a walk, hug her, and wipe her with wipes when she is done eating. My chihuahua Linda was so happy and very affectionate with Pillie.”

Elise A.
“Elise is amazing with pets. She is wonderful, caring, and responsible. She grew up with a dog with temperament issues and knows exactly how to care for her and what she needs. I have a cat of my own that is very shy, who has opened up to Elise with such love. Elise knew exactly how to respect my cat's boundaries and approach her... and now my cat guards her when she is in the bathroom! You can trust Elise to follow your instructions while creating a bond with your pet. Pet care and love come naturally to her. Elise is the right one for the job.”
Ryan O.
“I've known Ryan for over a decade and as a pet owner myself (two dogs), I can confirm with confidence that Ryan is wonderful with animals. He's also responsible, timely, and communicative. As a provider himself, I trusted him administering anti-convulsant medications to my goldendoodle who suffered from epilepsy. The Rover community would benefit from an additional patient, professional, pet-loving caregiver.”
Claire W.
“Certainly! Here's a professional and heartfelt testimonial for Claire Wilkinson to support her becoming a Rover dog walker: --- I have had the pleasure of knowing Claire Wilkinson for over 12 years, and I can confidently say she would make an exceptional addition to the Rover dog-walking community. Claire is one of the most dedicated, reliable, and trustworthy individuals I know. She approaches everything she does with great care and intentionality, always paying close attention to detail. Claire has a natural connection with animals and shows genuine compassion and patience when caring for them. She is attentive to pets’ needs, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well-exercised. Her calm and confident demeanor makes dogs feel at ease, and her sense of responsibility means pet owners can fully trust her with their beloved companions. Claire is also highly communicative, punctual, and respectful of both pets and their homes—qualities that are essential for any top-tier Rover walker. Whether following specific care instructions or going the extra mile to ensure a dog’s tail is wagging, Claire consistently goes above and beyond. I wholeheartedly recommend Claire Wilkinson as a dog walker on Rover. She embodies everything you would want in someone caring for your pet: reliability, kindness, attentiveness, and genuine love for animals.”
Lajuan A.
“Lajuan has been a great resource when looking for a pet sitter! He is reliable and cares about my dogs as if there were his own. He is easy to communicate with, sends me updates on how they are doing, and is willing to answer any questions I may have. Will definitely use him again in the future!”
