About: Hi everyone! I am an animal lover and would love to help you out by letting your pets out during the day, taking them on walks, or even watching them while you are out of town. I have grown up with both dogs and cats all my life, as of right now though I currently only have a cat but love dogs just as much. I’m extremely patient, understanding, and trustworthy. I’m comfortable with both large and small dogs, and of course puppies! I am flexible with whatever your pet’s needs might be, just let me know and I’m sure we can figure out a way to provide them with the care that they need. I look forward to meeting you all and your pets! I currently work full time during the week but free in the evenings. I am available during the week after 4p and anytime on the weekends. I currently live in an apartment so if pets stayed with me, they would need to be comfortable with cats and quiet due to apt living. I am comfortable coming to your house and looking after dogs or cats.

About: Hi I’m Alicia! Animals have always been a huge part of my life. As I get ready to transition off of active duty, I’m looking to spend more time with animals and give local pet owners peace of mind. I know how it feels to worry about your fur babies at home. I have experience with a wide variety of pets. I have raised puppies, timid rescues and cared for elderly dogs with significant medical needs. Cats also hold a sweet place in my heart and I love giving them the attention they deserve. I have experience administering medication and tending to whatever specific needs your pet has to make them most comfortable. I am working remote and mostly available during lunch, late afternoon and early evening for offsite visits. Any guest staying in our home will have my attention and the opportunity for plenty of dog walks. During my visits or an in home stay it is my goal to make the pet experience the least amount of stress possible. If your pet is happy, than you can be happy and enjoy your travels, work or any other life demands. I will take care of your pet as my own and provide the highest standard of care. We have a fenced in back yard and our dog Sheldon serves as a great buddy to other pets who may be homesick.
About: I grew up with a lab/pitbull mix, and have lived with other big dogs. I get along with all puppies, and am down to lounge with them, walk them, or play! I am a remote worker, so I plan to walk dogs on my lunch break (approximately 12 PM - 1 PM). I can also check in on dogs and feed them as needed. I always make sure they have food and water, and feel safe in their environment. I’m not one to push a dog out of their comfort zone, but I will always approach your puppy with kindness and consideration.
About: I have been walking, pet-setting, and playing with/ for family’s with dogs for years! I love taking them on walks to local parks as well!

Carson C.
“If you are looking for a caring, compassionate person to come visit with or walk your dogs, you couldn't do better than Carson! You know how dogs just have that "sense" about who will be good to them? Well, they definitely know Carson is in that group. They react with joy when he comes to visit. I'm a Rover host, myself, but when we're away I feel 100% comfortable letting him stay in my home. He's such a reliable guy that I know he'll keep me up to date with how things are going and send me pictures so I'm more at peace being away from my pups. I'm sure you'll feel the same way!”

River Market dog parents share their Rover experiences
Quinlin did a great job with my dogs! Just got a new puppy a few weeks ago. Normally work from home but had a last minute thing come up where I had to be at the office all day and he was super flexible about the last minute request. Did a great job communicating and sent photos of them playing outside. Would definitely recommend!
