“Karine and her husband took amazing good care of our dog! Our dog adored them and felt right at home. Karine would send me daily updates and pictures. Highly recommend! Thanks so much Karine!”
“Judy is super attentive and communicative. I got several photos and updates a day assuring me that mango was extremely well taken care of. Would absolutely recommend. Mango comes back happy and tired and is more than happy to go back for another stay with Judy.”
“Kevin did an amazing job watching my dog, Jamie, for the first time! He sent me daily photos of Jamie enjoying walks and relaxing in the sun on the balcony, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that Jamie was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I know he’s in great hands with Kevin, and I’ll definitely be rebooking!”
“Elvia is the best! Our dachshund loves her and so do we. Super reliable and takes such good care of our pup. We’ve used Elvia for both daytime and overnights and would highly recommend!”
“Judith and her family are absolutely wonderful. Chloe had the most amazing stay and didn’t want to come home LOL. I had a hard time getting her in the car. Judith was so communicative and let us know how Chloe was doing every day. I think Chloe misses them and Cali!! Thank you Judith ❤️❤️❤️”
“Justin appears to be an excellent pet caretaker. He is dependable and efficient. He was readily available to accommodate my schedule on short notice. His rates are reasonable for the services he provides. Thanks Justin!”
“Nandita took great care of my rambunctious, attention seeking golden retriever Alf! She sent update pictures frequently and seemed to genuinely love spending time with Alf. Her dog Ozzy had lots of energy and played so nicely with Alf and I’m sure he’s be happy to stay at their home any time!”
About: I have always been a dog lover/owner. Currently have 2 mixed breed dogs (5 and 3 years old). Have dealt with puppies to senior dogs. I do dog walking and pet sitting around my kids school and activity schedules. I’m pretty open during the weekdays. I also have some availability on weekends. Will give your dog the attention they deserve on their walk. They will return happy and well exercised. Will follow any training routines you are actively working on.
“Wonderful with our little old girl . Took great care of her and sent adorable pics letting us know how she was doing during her stay. Responds quickly to texts which is a plus ! Highly recommend and will definitely use again for our puppers !”
“Juan did an amazing job with communication and care for my dog Cassius. He is always updating us with pictures and letting us know how Cassius is doing. He also responds very fast and was able to watch Cassius on short notice. I strongly suggest anyone that wants to make sure their pup is being taken care of in good hands to book with Juan.”
“Yenis was great! She was super communicative and sent lots of pictures and videos! Looked like our dog Tex had a great time and felt super comfortable! Would definitely book again 😊”
About: I am a trusted dog walker with years of experience. I have experience with big and small dogs, disabled and rescued. My goal is to provide the best care to your pet and to ensure that they are safe happy and comfortable. I prioritize sticking to your pets routines to make sure he/she feels comfortable. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions! Depending on the hours I can start same day! I’m available for walks after 7:30am until 5pm Monday-Friday. Weekends I am available but would need to know in advance. Pets are allowed in my home for boarding, MUST be kid-friendly and house trained. If not kid friendly, I Kindly ask that you let me know In advance to make proper arrangements.
About: I truly love dogs and treat them like family. I currently have a puppy that I care for and train daily using positive reinforcement. Through this experience, I have developed strong skills in routine care, structure, and understanding dog behavior. I provide multiple daily walks (usually 3–4 per day), playtime, and mental stimulation using puzzle toys, interactive games, and enrichment activities. I focus on creating a safe, calm, and loving environment where dogs feel comfortable and secure. I am patient, attentive, and very detail-oriented when it comes to pet care. I understand how important routine, consistency, and emotional comfort are for dogs. I have a flexible weekly schedule that allows me to be available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet care throughout the day. I only study part-time in the mornings two days a week, so I have plenty of time to focus on caring for dogs. I already have a daily routine that includes multiple walks with my own puppy, so adding walks and care for other dogs fits naturally into my schedule. I truly enjoy spending time outdoors and making sure dogs get the exercise, attention, and love they need. I provide multiple daily walks (3–4 times per day), playtime, and mental stimulation using puzzle toys, interactive games, and enrichment activities. I am patient, attentive, and focused on creating a safe, calm, and loving environment for every pet. I understand how important routine, consistency, and clear communication are for dogs to feel comfortable and secure.

Katherine was AWESOME. First and foremost, my doggo Jack came home super happy - I could tell he had a great stay. Katherine was able to take Jack on short notice and was flexible with pickup as I navigated various flight delays on the way home. She was communicative, sending daily updates with pics throughout my trip. Being able to have peace of mind when you have to leave your beloved pet (especially when you have to leave on short notice), is such a blessing. 10/10, could not recommend Katherine enough.
This was my first time using Rover and my first time leaving Troy with someone and LisaLeigh made the whole process really easy! She kept me updated throughout the weekend and took great care of him. Troy came home happy and tired, which is all I could ask for. I really appreciated how smooth everything went and how flexible LisaLeigh was with the early pickup and drop off time. Will definitely book with her again for next trips out of town!
Samantha was amazing!! Not only was she extremely accommodating to last-minute schedule changes, Marnie loved her time with her! Samantha sent consistent photos, was very quick to reply to any messages, and was extremely welcoming - which put Marnie right as ease. We picked up a smiling and happy dog!!
Kristina is an excellent pet sitter! She is communicative, kind and patient. My dog is a anxious and slow to warm up but took to Kristina quickly. Finding a dog sitter that can take care of my dog’s high energy needs can be a challenge, however, Kristina took my dog on multiple walks and provided her with mental stimulation with food puzzles too. It is obvious that she knows a lot about interacting with dogs. 10/10 stars!
