“Kathryn has been our dog walker for a few weeks and I am so happy with her! She is great with Jax, he looks forward to his weekly walks with her. She is very communicative, always on time, affectionate with him and it is clear that she has a true love for pets. She also includes detailed notes at the end of every walk with multiple pictures. I highly recommend her!”
“Jen was absolutely fantastic! She was professional, was clearly knowledgeable about puppy behavior and always managed to tire Toby out and making sure he went to the bathroom so I didn’t have to worry.”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, my house wouldn’t be a home without our pups, they are very well loved & couldn’t imagine our lives without dogs! Specialize in big dogs! Have had Mastiff’s 24+ years! I’m currently a stay @ home mom looking to make some extra money while my kids are in school & I love animals so I figured it’d be a great way to make some money! I can walk your dog to the park or around the block, also if your pet had any special needs I’d be more than happy to help out with that as well!!
About: I’ve been a dog lover since I was 7 years old when my family got a puppy who we raised and loved for 11 years. I’m experienced with everything from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. Over the years, neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and watch their dogs and cats while they’re away. I genuinely love dogs of every size and personality, and I treat every pet like they’re my own with lots of attention and care I work full-time during the week, but I’m available most evenings after work for walks, drop-ins, and sitting. I’m fully available all day on weekends and have added flexibility on Fridays, making it easy to accommodate longer stays or last-minute needs. I always prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine, whether I’m caring for them in your home or mine. I closely follow feeding, walking, and medication instructions, keep a clean and secure environment, and give pets plenty of attention and supervision. I’m respectful of your space and make sure your pet feels calm, safe, and well cared for at all times.
“Jing was wonderful with Bailey. He was a little nervous today because it’s only a few days in our new apt, so he don’t finish his breakfast. Jing sat with him and hand fed him a couple morsels, helping him to feel comfortable and then he finished the rest on his own. I highly recommend Jing and will definitely use her again!”
“Cheryl and Elmar did an extraordinary job watching my dog. They’re very conscientious and experienced and always communicate about how things are going. Highly recommended!”
About: I have experience with high-energy dogs like doodles, as I have one of my own. I’m very active and enjoy long walks, so I’m able to keep dogs well exercised and engaged. I’m attentive, reliable, and focused on making sure every dog feels safe and comfortable. For the month of May, I’m available all day on Sundays and Mondays, and from 8 AM to 3 PM on Fridays and Saturdays. Starting June 1, I will be working a full-time internship and will be available on weekdays from 6 PM to 10 PM, and on weekends from 9 AM to 3 PM. I care for pets in their own home to help them feel comfortable and maintain their normal routine. During dog walks, I make sure they get safe, structured exercise based on their energy level, while always keeping them securely leashed and monitored. For drop-in visits, I follow all instructions closely, including feeding, refreshing water, playtime, and any specific routines. I’m attentive to each dog’s behavior and needs, whether they’re high-energy and need longer walks or more relaxed and prefer a slower pace. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for, and I always provide updates so owners know their pet is doing well.
About: I’ve cared for dogs for over 10 years, from puppies to senior dogs. I currently have a senior small dog of my own, so I understand the patience and attention pets need at all life stages. I enjoy getting to know each dog’s personality and helping them feel loved and comfortable. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or just companionship, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for! I recently graduated with my master’s degree and currently have a very flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to dedicate to pet care throughout the week. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and lots of attention and companionship for your pets. I work hard to provide your pets with comfort and safety. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and needs so they feel as comfortable as possible. I’m especially patient with shy or nervous pets and will always provide a calm, caring, and attentive environment.
About: I’ve taken care of my black lab with my family for the past three years. She recently passed away at 11 years old in February, and I’ve missed her every second. Through Rover, I’m hoping to share the love I held with her with other dogs of all ages and sizes! I’m working part time before I start medical school in August, so I’ll have plenty of time to take care of your pups! I live at home with family, who are also very experienced with pets. We have a fenced-in yard and live next to a park that’s great for walks!
“Kerri has been wonderful! Her communication is excellent—she keeps us updated and is always responsive. We're so glad we found her and are looking forward to having her watch our pups when we travel. Highly recommend!”
“Bryndon was great with our almost 3 year old corgi, Rome. It was Rome’s first walk without us from our home, and Bryndon handled this well. It was a super hot day (hello heat wave!) and Bryndon was flexible when Rome refused to walk very far. He asked if they could walk around in the back yard, and we noticed him working on some commands during the walk, which is terrific. Rome seemed to have a great time and Bryndon handled this diversion well. Looking forward to having a great dog walker/sitter nearby for when we are busy or away!”
About: I’ve always loved dogs and cats, and taking care of them has been a natural part of my life. Even though I haven’t done it professionally, I’ve helped family and friends by caring for their pets when they’re away—feeding them, spending time with them, and making sure they feel comfortable and safe. I currently live with two cats and a dog, so I’m used to their daily routines and understand how different each pet can be. I really enjoy connecting with animals and paying attention to what they need. I’ll treat your pets with the same love and care I give my own. I’m not working at the moment, so I have plenty of time to care for your dogs and cats whenever needed. I just ask that bookings be scheduled at least 5 days in advance so I can plan my time accordingly. I’m very careful and attentive with both dogs and cats. I know some pets can get curious and try to run outside when a door opens, so I always stay aware and make sure they’re safe and secure. Their safety is really important to me.
About: I’ve been around animals, specifically dogs, for as long as I can remember. I’ve had boxer and pit bulls my entire life growing up, I treat them like family. I am very good and patient with playing and taking dogs on walks and getting their energy out. I am currently getting my masters degree and in my internship semester, so I have availability Monday and Wednesday up until 4pm. Tuesday, Thursday, Friday I have availability until 12. I think taking dogs for walks on leash is best, and if you have a fenced in yard I would never leave a dog unattended outside. I
About: I've taken care of pets for a long time, a long 15 years, and I'm dedicated to helping your baby out, because our pets are our families. I am free every day after 1:00pm and before 8:00 pm. I generally walk people's pets and donate to my local vet in that free time but I'm trying to save! I have a large fence for my own dogs and have spare bowls and dog/cat food if that is necessary. I also have tools for brushing and cleaning!!

Bryndon is great! Our dog usually barks at everyone that comes in the house. She did not bark at all with Bryndon. She met him at the door and after a few sniffs, sat down so he could pet her! Bryndon was very engaged in learning about Miracle's personality and quirks. He was engaged with her and at the same time maintained full control of her (she can pull at times). Bryndon was also very attentive to everything we shared with him about Miracle and we are very confident that Miracle will be in great hands on her walks with Bryndon.
Jing was wonderful with Bailey. He was a little nervous today because it’s only a few days in our new apt, so he don’t finish his breakfast. Jing sat with him and hand fed him a couple morsels, helping him to feel comfortable and then he finished the rest on his own. I highly recommend Jing and will definitely use her again!
I cannot recommend my pet sitter Eleonora, highly enough! From the very first meeting, it was clear that she genuinely cares about animals and take her responsibility seriously. She was warm, patient, and incredibly attentive to every detail of my pet’s routine. While I was away, I received regular updates, photos, and messages that gave me total peace of mind. It was obvious that my pet felt safe, comfortable, and well‑loved. When I came home, everything was spotless, and my pet was relaxed and happy—always the best sign of excellent care.
