“Carrie has been awesome with my dog. I know he’s a little bit of a wild child sometimes but she’s been so good with him and it’s helped me out tremendously as my husband and I have a very busy work schedule. Could not recommend her more!”

About: I have had a dog my entire life. I helped provide senior care for my childhood lab who had issues walking and have self trained two puppies. I have had a cat for nearly 7 years and have cat sit for several friends and neighbors. I work remotely from home so I am am available when your pet needs me. I am a night owl while my partner is an earlier rise pets have someone awake at almost all hours. I have a fenced yard although I never leave my pets outside unattended, some sections of fence are less secure for smaller dogs or professional escape artists but can be temporarily altered when needed. I also provide walks and indoor playtime.

About: I have had dogs just about my entire adult life. I had a miniature pinscher named Trey for 15 years and he was awesome! I also had a terrier mix named Alice for 12 years whom I loved very much. I have not had a dog for a few years now and miss getting to play/walk with a four-legged friend and figured this would be a fun way to scratch that itch. I have a sunroom that overlooks acres of woods for your pup to stare/bark at and a big front window to guard and let the mailman know who's boss. I work from home and can hang out with your pup all day in my house. I have a big yard they can play in and can take them for frequent walks. I do not have any pets so your pup will get my full attention. I have had dogs for 20+ years of my life and am a huge animal lover!

About: I’ve taken care of many animals in my life and also train my cat to play fetch and tag. I also have taken care of senior dogs during their final moments. Im currently a stay at home housewife and have some free time and I love animals so I definitely don’t mind how long or price for the care I’ll be giving I give my cat and my friends animals when watching them all kinds of vitamins and supplements with salmon, fish, squid, and all kinds of other stuff. I give them attention so they know that they are loved and cared for. If the cat at my place is an issue he could stay in the bedroom for the time being
About: I have grown up with a dog in my house since I was born. I have taken care of neighbors and friends dogs while they have went on vacation or just out of town for work.

If you are looking to book with me but see my availability is different then what you’re looking for, please still send me a message and I will do my best to accommodate to make it work! Since I am not able to host dogs at my current place of residence, this will allow the dog to feel more comfortable with a stranger coming to take care of them while the owners are away for however long. I will adjust to their routine so they hardly notice the owners are gone. They will receive all the belly rubs and love they could ask for until their owner returns home

“Arielle was amazing! She is a very friendly and dependable person. I can count on her always showing up on time and providing excellent service. Arielle genuinely loves being around dogs and it shows. My dog Bella immediately got along with her on the first meet up and she usually takes a little bit of time warming up to new people. During the walks Arielle would always send a photo and notes to update me on how Bella is doing which is much appreciated. I will definitely be using Arielle again for my future dog walking needs.”

About: I have been around dogs my whole life from having my own to also being around my grandmas dog breeding. I have had my own two dogs for the last 9 years. I have used Rover sitters several times now for them for over a week at a time with great care. I hope to continue to do the same for others. I can provide medicine care with instructions, senior care, drop-in visits for most any animal and dog walking. I currently have a very flexible schedule any day and time of the week between kids school dropoff/pickup. Most any time you need me I should be available. I will always keep your pets safe and well cared for just like they were my own, even if they just need some company for the day.

“This was my first time using Rover, and I’m so glad I got to use Maddie. She took such good care of my dog during their time together. She’s a dog mom through and through and knew all of the important questions to ask before their first walk. She actually went above and beyond on a few occasions 💩. Maddie provided thorough feedback after their walks and alerted me to anything I might need to monitor. I trusted her completely with my dog and my home.”

About: I've assisted in taking care of my parent's dogs for years, from a grumpy old man dog to a chaotic 6 week old puppy, whether that be playing, making food, going for walks, and cleaning up accidents. I also have experience with provided medicine as needed. I am very flexible with timing as long as I know a week prior, but if it's short notice, I am mainly available in the mornings up until noon. I make sure to play, regularly let them go to the bathroom outdoors, feed them at appropriate times and if they want their space then I respect them.

About: Hello! My name is Kaitlyn and I am a 4th year veterinary student about to start my job as a veterinarian. I began working with pets 12 years ago at a local rescue where I grew up in Florida. Since then I have had a plethora of experience with all types of animals. I have worked in a shelter, many small animal general practice hospitals, cat cafes, a wildlife rehabilitation center, triage student for the veterinary emergency department at my veterinary school, etc. Throughout the last 12 years in addition to my many volunteer and working experiences, I have also looked after family’s and friends pets when needed. Due to having pets of my own, I provide drop in visits and walks right now. However I am open to discussing any additional visit types on a case by case basis. I currently have a ton of availability while I await starting my full time job and am able to spend a lot of time with your pets 😊 Don’t worry! Once I start my full time job (in July) I would still love to continue providing care to your pets during weekends and after work. Your pets safety and happiness are the utmost importance and I am to create a great relationship with not only your pets but you to create a stress free and enjoyable environment for everyone. Feel free to reach out anytime with questions or comments about your furry friends. I am very quick to respond and would love to chat about how I can help with you and your pets needs!

“Tyler is a great dog walker! He is very patient, communicative, reliable and awesome with larger breeds! I have an American Bully and he takes time to play with her and lets her sniff around on their walks. Really grateful for his weekly drop ins and walks with my pup! Tyler and Cashmere, have become great walking buddies. 10/10!!”

Riverside dog parents share their Rover experiences
I was nervous to hire a dog walker because the 45 lb American Bully named River that adopted me a couple months ago came with several quirks, like a ton of strength when she sees a chipmunk, and shrieking loudly when she sees other dogs. When I told Dena about these issues, she didn’t hesitate or seem at all phased and her confidence and comfort gave me a lot of peace of mind. Dena is responsive, prompt, efficient, professional, deeply caring, empathetic, and great at managing expectations. She’s also helping River with some of her issues, and making improvements. On top of everything else, she’s also gotten some great photos of River smiling big in the woods, which is great because River is usually moving too fast for me to get good pics. Most importantly, River adores Dena. As soon as her car pulls into the driveway River runs to the door and starts whimpering with joy. Loudly! :-) I highly recommended Dena for anyone who wants their pets to be in the best possible hands.

Claudia was fantastic. I recently had the pleasure of entrusting my pit bull, Neo, to Claudia for his daily walks, and I couldn't be more impressed with her service. Claudia is not only punctual and reliable, but she also has a natural affinity with dogs that is truly remarkable. From the very first meeting, it was clear that Claudia is easy to communicate with and genuinely cares about the well-being of the pets she looks after. She took the time to understand my dog's specific needs and preferences, ensuring that each walk was tailored to his energy level and temperament. She was also able to get some of his daily training done while on walks. My dog absolutely adors her, which speaks volumes about her ability to connect with animals. Claudia's professionalism and dedication have given me complete peace of mind, knowing that my dog is in capable and loving hands. I highly recommend Claudia to anyone in need of a trustworthy and compassionate dog walker.

Arianna was a walker with my dog Flynn for about a year and a half and I am so thankful for her! She was communicative and friendly and always good about sharing what happened on the walk, etc. She took the time to truly know my dog and both he and I were able to rely on her consistently. She stayed with him on an overnight occurrence as well, and I would recommend her to any future pet owner - she’s great and we are sad to be losing her as she is moving!
