“Liz has been great with Vega. It took a couple visits for Vega to be comfortable with Liz as she does not like strangers or people in general! Vega is now letting Liz walk, pet, and cuddle with her!”


“Candace has been awesome to work with! She’s been reliable to take my dog on walks during the week while I’m at work, and they’re also pretty long too which helps! My dog seems to be happy with her and we’ve been impressed. Will keep using Candace!”

“Jayd and Ecko were fantastic to work with and did an amazing job while we were gone on a trip! They went above and beyond, always sent a ton of pictures and spent quality time playing with our dogs beyond what we expected. We came home to pups who were much calmer and more relaxed than usual, which we can absolutely attribute to the time Jayd and Ecko took to make sure they got all the love and care they needed while we were away. We will absolutely book with them again!”


About: Hi! I’m Hannah, and I’m a dog person through and through. Grown up with dogs practically my whole life. I believe dogs aren’t just pets they’re family, and they deserve to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their humans are away. I love getting to know each dog’s individual personality. Whether your pup is energetic and wants to play all day, loves going on walks, or is happiest curled up beside someone, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. My goal is to make their time with me feel less like being away from home and more like a little vacation of their own! 🐾 What Your Dog Can Expect Walks, playtime, and plenty of attention Lots of love, cuddles, and companionship Meals and treats according to their normal routine Regular potty breaks Playtime and enrichment based on their energy level Photo and message updates so you never feel out of the loop A calm, safe, and comfortable environment I understand that every dog has their own routine and quirks, so I’ll take the time to learn what makes your pup comfortable. If they have a favorite toy, a specific walking routine, a certain way they like their food prepared, or simply need some extra reassurance, I’m happy to accommodate. I also know how much trust goes into choosing someone to care for your dog. I’ll treat your pup with patience, kindness, and the same level of care I would want for my own. Whether you’re going out of town, working a long day, or just need someone to give your dog some extra love and exercise, I’d be excited to meet your pup and give them a day full of walks, play, cuddles, and care! I’m currently a part-time college student online and I have a lot of free time during my day to care for your babies! If you need me in the morning, evening, or for late night check-ins I’m there. I understand that caring for your dog often means being welcomed into your home, and I don’t take that trust lightly. I will treat your home with the same care and respect I would want someone to show mine. I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep doors and gates securely closed, and make sure your dog is safe and supervised during every visit. I’m respectful of your privacy and personal space and will only access the areas of your home that are necessary for caring for your pup. I’ll also keep you updated during visits with photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind knowing your dog is safe, happy, and well cared for.
“Aneice is top notch. She’s extremely friendly and takes very great care of my dog, Blue. She always keeps me updated and takes fantastic photos. Blue definitely enjoys her company”

“Aubrey was a fast responder in our last minute need for our dog, Tucker to be walked. She was a great communicator and her willingness to help us out was greatly appreciated.”

About: have experience caring for dogs both for my family and through pet-sitting. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and getting to know each pet’s individual personality, routine, and needs. I regularly help care for my sister’s dogs and have been responsible for their care when she is away. This includes feeding them, providing fresh water, taking them for walks, spending time playing with them, and making sure they receive their vitamins, supplements, and other care according to their normal routine. I understand that every pet is different, so I take instructions from owners seriously. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, medications and supplements, exercise needs, household rules, and any special instructions an owner provides. I am comfortable asking questions when I need clarification because I would rather make sure I am doing something correctly than make an assumption. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to spend plenty of time with the pets in my care. I enjoy walks, playtime, and simply relaxing with them so they have companionship while their owners are away. My goal is to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while maintaining the routine they are accustomed to at home. me to spend plenty of time with the pets in my care. Because I do not currently work a traditional full-time schedule, I am often available throughout the day and can provide companionship, walks, playtime, feeding, and other routine care. I do best when scheduling expectations are communicated clearly in advance. If your pet needs care at specific times—such as meals, medications, walks, potty breaks, or bedtime routines—please provide those times as specifically as possible. Having a clear schedule helps me maintain your pet’s normal routine and make sure nothing important is missed. I primarily use an e-bike for transportation, so please let me know ahead of time if your pet’s care will require transportation outside of the home. Your pet’s safety and comfort are very important to me. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully and do my best to maintain each pet’s normal routine so they can feel comfortable and secure while you are away. Because I am autistic, I do best with clear, direct, and detailed instructions. I can sometimes have difficulty recognizing implied expectations, hints, or instructions that are open to interpretation. Written instructions are especially helpful for things such as medications, feeding, household rules, behaviors to watch for, areas that are off-limits, and what I should do if an unexpected situation occurs. If something is unclear, I would rather ask questions than assume what an owner wants. My sister also provides communication support when needed. She tries to attend meet-and-greets with me whenever possible and is available by phone during bookings and stays to help clarify instructions, make sure important questions are asked, and assist me with communicating detailed updates to owners. I take the responsibility of caring for someone else’s pet and home seriously. My goal is to create a safe, calm, and comfortable environment while respecting your home and following the routine you have established for your pet.

About: I’ve lived with cats and dogs my whole life, I was always the primary care taker for my golden doodle growing up and I take care of my own kitty now. I was also in charge of house breaking, and skill training for three different dogs we had. I’m excited to meet some new cute kitties and pups! I’m a stay at home mom so my schedule is very open! For short visits I’ll bring my baby with but for anything lengthier I can drop her off with my parents, I’d love to take time out of my day to play with some animals and get out of the house! When I’ve watched pets before I’ll make sure to let them outside to do their business, then make sure I play with them for a while to get their energy out before they have to come back inside :)

I live on a 1/3 acre property with a large back yard as well as private space in my house for pets that prefer to be alone. I can provide home visits/walks, or I can do at home boarding. I have a large backyard that is fully privacy fenced, as well as a private space in my house that we use just for animals
“Nikki was so great to take care of our pup. She even took the time to meet with me to go over things we have been working on in obedience school so that she could support us in helping with training during walks and feeding. It is so great to know our pup is in great hands when we can't be there.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Riverdale
We were so fortunate to find Emma on Rover. We moved to an apartment in March and needed her to walk and exercise our 2 dogs. Our girls as I call our dogs love her. Emma is also a dog trainer and I appreciate how she does it with patience and kindness. Bailey our Golden Retriever pulled on her lease and it was difficult for me to keep holding on. Emma taught her to walk without pulling and it’s made a big difference. Emma also taught other commands. My girls now walk and play without being stimulated by other dogs. She is the best!!!

Jayd and Ecko were fantastic to work with and did an amazing job while we were gone on a trip! They went above and beyond, always sent a ton of pictures and spent quality time playing with our dogs beyond what we expected. We came home to pups who were much calmer and more relaxed than usual, which we can absolutely attribute to the time Jayd and Ecko took to make sure they got all the love and care they needed while we were away. We will absolutely book with them again!

Cami was incredible during our trip abroad. It was such a relief to see my boy warm up more and more each walk and to know he was getting cared for and loved. She’s so good at leaving post walk pictures and reviews and they were a highlight while we were away from home. Thank you thank you thank you!
