About: I have helped raise 3 litters of puppies, and I have extensive experience with dogs and cats of all sizes, temperaments, and abilities from my time as a pet parent and volunteer at my local animal shelter. I am currently in graduate school and work part time, leaving the majority of my days and weekends available to care for your furry friend! I am a lifelong animal lover, and given my active lifestyle, I am able to keep up with even the highest energy animals! I am also very detail-oriented, meaning that I can anticipate your animalâs needs and give them a similar experience to their day-to-day routine with you.
âMelanie made a great first impression for us! She extended thoughtful details, did a pre-meet / greet, and connected with my pup well! (heâs a hyper boy, and can be fearful/bark w new people). She arrives on time and puts us at ease knowing Blue will be well cared for. Grateful for weekly walks.â

âCrystal is fantastic! Our pups love the time they spent walking with Crystal. Thank you for watching our pups and following the instructions to ensure proper care while we were away! We highly recommend Crystal!â

About: Iâm a 21 year old veterinary science student, with two pits that I absolutely adore!! I got Disney at the start of Covid and had to resocialize him all over again afterwards. Then we decided he needed friend. Iâve had experience with fleas, ticks, emergency vet visits- You name it! I love any and all animals, though I understand that each pet is different and has their own set of needs. I am willing to do whatever it takes to keep your baby safe and healthy, Iâll treat them as my own!! âşď¸ I work a part time job so I have more than enough free time to care for and play with your pet!! When I am not caring for your pet Iâm probably caring for my own! Food, walks, coconut oil rubdown, tucked under the blanket you name it! I recognize that everyoneâs schedule varies! I am great at following set routines. So if that means your dog needs to be walked fed and play with within 30 minutes I guarantee you within that 30 minutes will be well done. I will always leave your home and pet cleaner than I found them .
About: I love dogs as the oversized babies that they are. I love to play with them and go on hikes. Itâs great to have a little buddy around. I work full time but looking forward to walking dogs after or before work. Iâm looking forward to having a companion while hosting dogs on my days off Iâm very attentive and engaging. I am adaptable to each dogs personality and energy levels. Whether itâs a cozy day watching tv and cuddling on the couch or out and about on a hike.
About: I have over 10 years of personal dog care experience, and am currently a dog mom of an adorable and energetic husky/lab mix! Friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and provide overnight care for their pets. I work in the environmental field and am currently on the job hunt, so I'll have plenty of quality time to spend with your pets! My schedule is very flexible; I am typically available any day of the week/weekend, given 1-2 days' notice. I care for pets exclusively in their own homes, where theyâre most comfortable. I take safety and trust very seriously by following all instructions, maintaining secure environments, and respecting household routines and cleanliness. Iâm happy to accommodate crates, special needs, and provide regular updates so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.
About: I grew up in a household full of pets!! As a Yale graduate student now, I offer dog sitting in my building and am looking for more opportunities to support myself this semester while doing something that I love! I have class Mondays (all day) and Tuesday mornings and work Wednesdays. I am available most Tuesday afternoons, Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. Schedule may vary around exam periods. I have no pets myself in my apartment and lots of time to provide great care. I am able to hang out, walk, feed, play, and socialize with your pet when you need!
âI was new to the area and needed a dog walker within a few days notice. And somehow got lucky enough to stumble upon Mary Roseâs profile. Sheâs incredibly sweet and responsive, and truly loves animals. Whether it be just a walk in the neighborhood or staying overnight, I truly have zero worries about leaving my dog and two cats. You can tell she loves what she does. Although sheâd say she was the lucky one, pretty sure I win! :)â

âAzeen looked after our yellow lab while we were on vacation. She was terrific. She walked him twice a day, took him swimming, dried him off, and looked after his needs. She even helped with our pool, and turned on our AC on the final day. I highly recommend her, and would not hesitate to use her again. She's also very friendlyâ

âWeâre so grateful to Emily as we know our dog Winston is in amazing hands! Sheâs reliable, communicative and our dog gets great exercise - would highly recommend!!â

About: as a dog lover since birth, i use any opportunity i can to be around pups. after graduating college, i moved to denver (the ultimate dog heaven) and was a rover sitter for a few years! i also watched my bossâs 3 big dogs (and 2 birds) while she was out of town, so i have experience handling multiple animals at once :). I am currently a nursing student at Yale, so i am doing this when i can for some extra $$ and happiness âşď¸đś. I promise to take care of your pet like itâs my own! If you are interested, I would be happy to meet in person or on facetime and discuss logistics. I am currently a nursing student at yale and have class/ clinicals monday-wednesday this semester. i am free thursday-sunday for house sitting or walking as needed! since i cannot have pets in my apartment, my services currently include home visits and walks. i know how stressful being home alone for long periods of time can be for some dogs, so i will be there on time always. if needed, i am also happpy to stay overnight in your home while you are out of town if that makes you most comfortable!
âEmily was great! Availed herself last minute on Valentines Day to walk my little guy, not once but twice. She maintained communication throughout the entire time and I know my boy was well taken care! Thank you Emily, we will be reaching out again: Linus seemed happy and content!â

About: I absolutely love taking care of animals! I have owned dogs, cats, rabbits, and hamsters. I enjoy an active lifestyle and am able to meet the exercise needs of any pet. Depending on your dog and their abilities, I can provide tons of outdoor time. I usually do around 45 minutes to 1 hour long walk in the morning, with another long walk or fun outdoor activity in the afternoon (swimming, hiking, fetch in the park, etc). I live in a single-family home with my sister Alexis. I work full-time, but have a hybrid work schedule and have many days/mornings/afternoons where I am able to work from home. I can accommodate different schedules and times for drop-offs and pick-ups with enough notice. My sister works full-time from 7am-3:30pm, so your pup won't spend too much time alone. I do not work on the weekends and therefore am free to take your pup to different spots to play! I have a small yard that is partially fenced, but am also able to take your dog on long walks in the neighborhood. Let me know if your dog can go off-leash, or if they should remain leashed or in fenced-in areas. I do have a long line (30ft) that can be used with your dog so they can explore and run while still being leashed.
âRaeven is soooo good with my fur baby Rocky. She has a calmness with Rocky and also gives great tips and advice to make my dogâs walking experience even better. Iâm so grateful for her.â


âPaul was just perfect for my needs. He walked my two Welsh Corgi's while I was away. He was always prompt, courteous and considerate. My pups grew to like him a lot, and the walking became and happy for them. My husband, who remained at home during this trip, was very pleased. Thank you Paul!â
Quinnipiac dog parents share their Rover experiences
Sophia is the best dog sitter and walker we have ever come across. She stayed at our place with our 11 year old Puggle, Finn, for 10 days while we were in Italy and we had absolutely no worries. She was so attentive and caring towards him, and always reached out to us with questions, updates and pictures. Itâs very obvious that Sophia is a natural with animals and that they sense they can trust her. Recently, we had her watch/feed/walk both Finn and our daughterâs Australian Shepherd, Ava, who can be a handful around strangers and other dogs but Ava took to Sophia immediately. We trust Sophia implicitly and I think you will find that to be true, too. Youâll make the best decision by entrusting your pets in her care!

Nancy was immediately loved by my pit mix Cheebs. He is very selective about his people but warmed up to Nancy so quickly, which made us knew we can trust her. Sheâs great with our guy, loves on him like heâs her own. Sheâs stayed in our home and done a few walks and we know we can count on her. Thank you, Nancy!

My dog can be picky with strangers, but she loves Yunwen. Yunwen is super sweetâshe took my pup to a big grassy field to play, and brought water so she could drink on the way. I could tell my pup was super happy and relaxed after the walk. Yunwen is reliable, and genuinely cares about dogs. Iâd 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a great walkerďź
