“We had a great time meeting Greg for our first meet and greet/walk. He even made Pinto feel at ease - and that’s a tough sell. We are looking forward to booking future walks and pet sitting with Greg.”

About: As a dedicated wildlife and pet caretaker with a passion for understanding and protecting animal habitats, I have spent years immersed in the wonders of the natural world. As a pet owner for over six years, I’ve deepened my appreciation for the unique bonds that form between humans and animals, whether in our homes or in the wild. Currently, I take care of my beloved rescue Siberian husky Niko. As well I spend some of my free time looking after my friend’s dogs and cats. My goal as a caregiver is to provide a safe and stimulating environment for pets' minds and bodies. Currently I’m a student at Drexel university and have a very flexible schedule. I’m free Thursday-Sunday mostly in the mornings to late afternoons. Depending on the day I can also do evenings It is important to that pets are comfortable and feel safe all conditions. I make it a rule of thumb to keep dogs on leash during public walks and around other pets. If there is a fenced in area I will make it a priority to check and see if the area is properly supervised and secure for your pet. On regular walks having fun is always number 1. If your pet wants to chill inside and needs cuddles, or wants to take an extra adventure i’m always down.
About: Not only have I lived with dogs my entire life, but I have also been taking care of and walking dogs since my early teenage years. Over the years, I have been responsible for both senior dogs and puppies. Not only do I have experience with different ages, but also with different breeds. During the week I typically work from 8-4 but can often adjust my hours slightly if necessary. I would be happy to spend time taking care of your pet before or after work as well as on the weekend. When I care for pets, I am very attentive to their needs and prioritize spending as much time with them as possible. I am also able to match the exercise level needs for different pets. I love to exercise and get outside, so I will always be excited to get them the movement that they need.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life, big or small, from horses and parrots to turtles and more. Caring for a variety of animals has helped me understand their individual needs and how to keep them safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m always looking for ways to improve my skills like through new training techniques and experiences, and I adapt easily to different environments and personalities. I’m also a quick thinker who stays calm in unexpected situations, pay close attention to behavior changes, and treat every pet how I would want someone to treat my own. I am a college student in the offseason so I have plenty of time to take care of your pet. I am available anytime during the week. If I am caring for your pup/cat on a certain day, I will make sure I have no other commitments so I can be able to care for your pet properly. Your dog/cat will be supervised 24/7 when they are with me. I also like to make sure nothing is on the counters or the ground for your pet to eat. Also I make sure to send updates while I’m with them to show that your pet is safe and happy.
“Pamela was patient and accommodating when the logistics of our trip made her job more difficult than expected. She is easy to communicate with, very responsive, friendly, and easy going. She came to our resort and walked our dog so we could enjoy longer days in the parks. Thanks Pamela!”

I often sit for multiple houses at once, doing house-stays for one client and drop-ins for 1-3 others depending on the services and times needed per client. When I meet an animal for the first time, my priority is gaining their trust. I spend time casually observing so I can take note of their personality and physical forms of communication, but I don’t get too close or move too quickly until I’ve given the animal a chance to take me in as well. Once trust is established, we can move on to wearing leashes and harness, medication routines, playing, etc.

Riverfront dog parents share their Rover experiences
Anne has been walking our senior, blind dog for the last year and a half, 3x per week and has been amazing! Being blind and having extra needs, Anne has been incredibly sweet and detailed in caring for our dog and we would highly recommend her for anyone looking for care!

Sophie was responsive and punctual both to the meet and greet with my mutts and showing up on time later that week to walk both of them. She followed instructions precisely and communicated well. And of course, she sent some cute pics-what’s not to like? I’d definitely trust her with my dogs again!!

I used Mason for dog walks and couldn’t be happier. He was professional, on time, and clearly knew how to handle dogs. My pup came home relaxed and well-exercised. Mason is the kind of walker you can trust right from the first booking — I’ll definitely reach out again next time I need help!
