“Jennifer was lovely, attentive, and a great communicator. We just adopted our dog and he has little bursts of aggression and Jennifer was kind enough to come by before their first walk to test the waters. Everything turned out great and Jennifer sent updates and pictures throughout his walks. We will definitely work with her again.”

“Adam is so great and patient with our stubborn bully mix! We appreciated the time he spent with him on walks. We will definitely request Adam for the future.”

About: I've grown up owning dogs my whole life, and I own my own dog as well. I honestly think it's impossible to be sad when a dog is in your life, and it is our responsibility to take care of them as best as we can. I would love to spend time and take care of your dog in the event you cannot. They should't have to feel so alone when we are busy! My puppy is very social, kind, and loves to play with other dogs. She is spayed so there is no worry there. I promise to take the best care of your dog, as if it was my own. I am also a strong believer in training dogs and keeping them on their own routine. I am very respectful of the rules or standards that each owner has for their dog, and plan on carrying those out exactly as you ask. I have a very flexible schedule currently and can accommodate many different times. Feel free to reach out and we can find a common time that works for you, your pet and me! Safety and trust are the most important aspect of caring for other animals. They are not just our pets but members of our family and I always keep that in mind. I will send photos and always be transparent about how your dog is doing.

“Kerri is amazing on walks with our energetic and reactive dog Buster! She's very kind and calm with him, and he responds so well with her. We also appreciate how prompt and communicative Kerri has been.”

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover who's been caring for my own dog—as well as family and friends' pets—for the past 5+ years. Whether it's going on long walks, bath time, puzzle games, or playtime together at home, I truly enjoy giving every animal the attention and care they deserve. I’ve looked after cats and dogs of all ages, from energetic youngsters to sweet seniors, and I love tailoring each day to their needs and personalities.

I take safety and trust very seriously, whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in yours. I always follow the specific routines and guidelines each pet parent provides—whether that means administering medication on time, using the proper harness for walks, crating them when I step out, or sticking to house rules. Every pet is unique, and I’m committed to making sure they feel secure and cared for while giving you total peace of mind. Your pet’s safety—and your trust—are my top priorities.

About: 🐾 Hi! I'm Ari, and caring for animals has always been a huge part of my career and personal life. With over 16 years of experience in the veterinary field, I bring a deep understanding of animal health and behavior to every in-home visit — especially when it comes to senior pets and dogs with special needs. When caring for pets in a your home, I prioritize calm, consistent routines that support comfort, mobility, and emotional well-being. Following all care instructions carefully, including medication schedules, mobility assistance (such as using harnesses, slings, wheelchair, or leg brace), and any specific feeding or therapeutic needs. My background in **holistic care and rehabilitation** allows me to provide gentle, supportive handling and even incorporate calming techniques, massage, and enrichment when appropriate. For senior pets, I focus on reducing stress, minimizing discomfort, and keeping them safe and happy in their familiar surroundings.

Every pet is treated with patience, respect, and the same love I’d give my own. I anm available **Friday, most Saturdays, Sunday, and Monday**. I dedicate these days to pet sitting, walks, drop-ins, making your pet my top priority. Let me know how I can support your pet’s routine — I’m here to help! When caring for your pets, I focus on keeping their environment familiar, stress-free, and full of positive attention. I follow each pet’s routine closely — including feeding schedules, walk times, medication (if needed), and any special instructions. I know pets thrive on consistency, so I aim to replicate your care as closely as possible.

“Cynthia has been walking our dog, Pip, for the last six weeks while I recover from a foot injury and we really appreciate her. Our dog, Pip, was nervous about walking with a stranger but Cynthia was very flexible in figuring out how to make it more comfortable for Pip. Cynthia is quick to respond and shows up reliably. We really appreciate her help.”

About: Hello! I've been pet-sitting professionally since September 2023 and have done walks, drop-in visits, and house-sitting for dogs and cats of various ages, sizes, temperaments, and medical needs. This includes caring for senior dogs who need mobility assistance and have a hard time hearing and seeing. I also volunteered at my local animal shelter during college, where I had weekly shifts walking, playing with, and socializing dogs in the shelter. Additionally, I have experience caring for my own pet rats, and others' rodents and reptiles (rabbit, guinea pigs, and bearded dragons). With clear instructions from you, I would love to care for any rodents, reptiles, amphibians, or birds as well! You can list these animals as "Cats" within your Rover profile. I have a 30 hour/week job in libraries and I work pet-care into my off-days, or before/after a work shift. I recently adopted my own cat, so I will mostly be offering drop-in visits and dog walks, but will be available for 1-3 night housesits. Let me know you and your pet's schedule and needs, and we can see if we're a good match! I like to get to know you and your pet before caring for them in order to make sure we’re a good fit (so, I do require a Meet & Greet before booking). Whether they're an energetic dog who will want a high energy walk, or a shy cat who might take some time getting used to a stranger, I want your pets to feel safe, cared for, and happy. Please note: I have a severe peanut allergy so if feeding your dog peanut butter or peanut treats is a big part of their routine, I won't be able to provide those foods, but if they can go without while in my care, that's okay!

“Thank you for the last minute walk Cindy. We greatly appreciate it! Glad the pups were more responsive to you. So sorry we didn’t leave enough treats, glad you found the extras.”

Brooke L.

“I have booked walks and boarding with Nancy quite a few times, and find that she is always communicative, thoughtful, and helpful. My dog can be difficult sometimes when it comes to cooperating with what you want her to do, especially on hot days, and Nancy got creative to help ensure my pup got the most out of their time together. Highly recommended!”

“Monique and Costa took care of my dog for several days and stayed overnight at my house. They were amazing. Monique kept me updated with lots of pictures of their adventures (and even an amazing video!)...they played with him, gave him lots of walks around the city and I know Jax had a blast with them. It is clear they both really know dogs and that made me feel at ease since this was the first time I had left my dog (who has anxiety issues) with someone he didn’t know in a long time. Plus-they worked out a schedule between the two of them where someone could always be with him. I would not hesitate to have them walk or watch Jax anytime. They are top notch!”
