“Estefany has been helping us with morning walks for the last month for our sweet little pup Winnie who has mobility issues.

About: I’m a dogs best friend, I like walking and being outside as much as they do! I grew up in a dog household and then began caring for dogs in clients homes for over 15 years now. I’ve taken care of 5 dogs, 5 cats and 15 rabbits at one time in one household before! I’ve never trained my own pets but I’ve assisted with training by enforcing the clients training commands and wishes. Im in good shape and can hike or go for extra long walks if you have an active animal. I’ll love and treat your dog as if it were my own. I think dogs are the best listeners and I love to mirror their unconditional love. I have several references to put you in contact with per request. I have a flexible schedule right now and would love to fill my open hours with pet visits and dog walking. I’m often available for last minute bookings. I have a fully fenced in backyard available for your dog to run. I do not have my own crates so a crate would need to be provided if necessary.

About: I have lived with and cared for dogs my whole life and have helped foster kittens for the past 4 years. I have also owned Bunnies, hamsters, guinea pigs, chameleons and chickens! 🐾 I love nothing more than meeting animals and getting to know what makes them happiest! I will always treat your animals as my own and make sure they feel special. I have a wide variety of dog care experience big and small, old and young, high-energy and lazy. My childhood dog is now 18 mostly blind and deaf and I make accommodations so she can stay safe and still stroll around outside when she wants to. I also have puppy experience as young as 3 months and will do my best to keep them out of trouble! I start Graduate school in fall so currently have a completely free summer! I have plenty of time to give your pets the best care and attention possible 💖 I want to get to know your pet as well as possible to help keep them safe, comfortable and happy! What is their favorite walking route? How do they react to other dogs? Do they have anything they’re afraid of so we can avoid it? Do they have a favorite treat/toy? Do they enjoy high-activity or low-activity? For both drop-ins and walks I will regularly send updates and photos so you can relax and know that your baby is receiving the best possible care!

“Jordan did an excellent job with Liza. She was very professional, confident and clearly loves what she does. Liza took to Jordan right away and as soon as Jordan mentioned going on a walk, she had Liza’s full attention. Jordan displayed excellent handling skills and was very comfortable working with her and learning how she deals with different situations.”


“Brooke has taken great care of my pup 😊 We had a very nice meet and greet beforehand and Daisy was so excited to see her again! She sent great updates and adorable pics of her throughout the walk as well!”


About: I have been house sitting and pet sitting for a while now. And I really do enjoy my work. This is my first time using Rover. Dogs and cats have always been a big part of my life. I help my partner take care of his boarding and daycare clients. I'm a big fan of dogs and cats. They love me too. I'm a former social worker. But these days I cherish the time I get to spend with my pet clients. I have lots of time to offer in this regard. Always up for a snuggle. I enjoy walking and playing with your pups. I'll treat them as if they were my own!🐶 I have a fully fenced yard. Lots of room to roam. I have lots of time to offer your pets. I'm looking forward to meeting you all.

About: I've worked with animals my entire life, from my own personal pets to working in pet boarding facilities, grooming salons, pet stores, vets office & volunteering with rescue groups. I even ran my own pet sitting business for 5 years, which became highly demanding. Thanks to Rover, I'm looking forward to getting back into pet sitting part time as I love caring for all types of animals. I have experience with everything from dogs and cats to exotic animals and even farm animals. I have more than enough experience to care for your pets and home while you're away. I'm currently self employed running my own Amazon store. Since I work on my own schedule I wanted to also work part time doing something that I have tons of passion for; working with animals. I can dedicate the tailored care that your pets need since my regular job is not tied down by normal business hours. I believe leaving pets in their own home and mirroring their normal schedule helps with lessening stress and anxiety while you are away. With that said, I'm available for drop-in visits to help give you and your pets peace of mind. If you need mail & packages brought in or even a house plant or 2 watered, just let me know and I can do that for you as well.

About: I have been taking care of animals, mainly dogs, since I was 11 years old. I have always loved looking after pets, whether it be my family or friends, or the neighbor across the street and I will love taking care of yours as well. I currently have a very flexible schedule, so I can easily check on your pets and make sure they are happy and healthy whenever needed. My pets' daily routines are a part of my own daily routine. I will make sure your pets are taken care of as if they were my own. I will make sure that they are happy and cared for and exercised as needed.

About: I worked at a doggy day care for years and miss hanging out and caring for all the pups! I’ve cared for friends, family and neighbors pets for years, of all sizes and breeds. I’m comfortable administering medication if need be and will always take extra special care of your loved ones. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends! 💜 I’m currently a single stay at home mom with my 2 boys. My schedule is very flexible and I more often than not can accept same day bookings/visits! My cat is on a strict feeding schedule with prescription food so I understand how important it is to be punctual. I walk my sisters dog every other day (the evenings she’s working late and can’t do it herself) and love providing enrichment games for both pets to make sure they’re living their best and happiest life!

About: I’m a chaos-proof big dog lover with a soft spot for the anxious, the awkward, and the wildly affectionate. I used to work as a professional trainer with Tip Top K9 so I’ve worked with all kinds of dogs — from stubborn working breeds to sweet but nervous pups who need extra patience. I also have personal experience with exotic animals, so if you have a scaley friend or a pocket pet I can care for them as well. Rover is my full time curently so I have availability every single day, including weekends and holidays and can be available at any time of the day. I've done overnight sitting as well as check ins, so I'm comfortable with either, or a combination depending on you and your pets needs. I can also care for exotic pets and plants as well.


“I was gone for the weekend and Desiree walked my dog Buddy multiple times! She has a calm presence and did wonderful with my large pitbull mix. I definitely would recommend her!”



“We found the best fit for our pups with Amanda. She has a calming effect on animals, is dependable and conscientious. We will use her again and wouldn’t hesitate to leave our fur babies with her. I can’t say enough good things about her.”


“Thank you very much David sounds like you got a work out too, sorry about that! Apollo was very happy when I got home after a long day, I appreciate your help ?”


About: I am a life-long dog owner, but currently have an empty nest! I have a large, fenced in back yard with plenty of room for your dog to run and play. I enjoy taking care of other dogs that need a place to stay when their paw parents are out of town. I am retired and spend a lot of time in my home. When dogs stay with me, they are welcome to relax on a doggy bed or the couch, and they have all day access to our large, fenced-in backyard. I welcome a lot of communication with dog clients. I like to know exactly how you prefer your pups to be taken care of so I can offer as much consistency as possibly when they are in my home. Same with drop-in visits, let me know how much food they get and when, what treats they like, and if they like to chase a tennis ball. I am happy to care for your pup in the way that makes them the most comfortable and happy!

Katherine C.

“Katherine is a trustworthy, loving dog sitter. She stayed at our home and watched our sweet Labrador for two weeks while we were out of the country. She listened well to our requests and gave us follow-ups while we were away. Not only was our dog happy when we returned, but our home was cleaner than we left it. I live in a tight-knit neighborhood and many neighbors said they would see her often, taking our dog on walks and keeping her happy. Katherine even took her to other neighborhoods for sniffing variety! She is a compassionate, earth-loving, being-loving, adventuresome soul to whom I completely entrust my four-legged family member. You will be begging her to come back after the first time she cares for your pet. I give her FIVE stars!”
