“Justine was an amazing find for us on Rover! She is a natural with animals as a vet tech, and she quickly built rapport with our two dogs. She is professional, prompt, and very easy to work with. Strongly recommend with 5 stars!”
About: Life long animal lover with experience walking all size dogs I have been dog walking professionally since 2019. I am a personal trainer and my clients started asking me to also exercise their dogs.. I’m committed to making sure each dog gets the attention, exercise and care they need. I am semi retired so I am available for early morning 6-8am & afternoons 12-5pm walks and check ins Monday-Friday. Possibly weekends by appointment only. I am not offering overnight care in my home or yours at this time. I’m happy to check in with your animals in your home on a daily basis.
About: Hello, my name is Amanda! I’m an experienced and compassionate pet sitter with 8 years of hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals. I’ve worked with puppies, senior dogs, and large breeds, and I’m comfortable watching multiple dogs at once while making sure each pet gets the attention and care they need. I have experience administering oral medications, supporting dogs with special needs (including helping care for a blind dog), and adjusting care routines to fit each pet’s personality and abilities. Safety, patience, and clear communication are always my top priorities. In addition to dogs, I’ve also cared for cats and guinea pigs, so I’m happy to help out in multi-pet households. I’m currently training to become a dog groomer, which has strengthened my understanding of dog behavior, handling, and overall pet wellness. I’m currently working full time, but I have weekends off that allows me to focus on pet care. I do get a lunch during my work shift that I am happy to include pet care during that time and after work. I can easily crate your dog if needed. I will keep your animal in designated areas if directed to do so. I am comfortable walking any size dog or if you have a fenced in yard I can watch your dog there.
“Kerry was incredible, she sent us photos and updates at every visit. I knew my cats were in good hands, I can’t thank you enough for all your help. You are an incredible person and caregiver. A++++”
About: Hi there! My name is Sammy and I currently work in Finance remotely. I've always had a love for all animals - dogs, cats, birds, frogs, fish... the list goes on. I have not had the opportunity to have my own dogs/cats in my home, but I've taken care of family & friends' pets for many years and have always given their fur babies such amazing care and attention. I am extremely detail-oriented and follow directions precisely. I'm currently working remotely so I have plenty of time to provide attentive care as often as needed during the week with lots of time for fun! Safety is my #1 priority and I will always contact you if I'm unsure of next steps. Pets are family so they will be given my full care and attention.

“Another great experience using Quinn to watch our girls. She is always timely and goes the extra mile on keeping litter boxes clean. Will definitely be using Quinn in the future. Thanks!”
“It was the first time Darcy cared for my two young cats and she did so with warmth, devotion and care. We didn't know Darcy at first, so she came to visit on two separate occasions (!!) to meet my cats prior to my trip. She fed them morning and evening according to their baseline expectations and ensured that the kitty litters were always clean. They played with her and even my younger cat who is very shy warmed up readily to her and didn't want her to leave! Darcy also texted me updates and photos after each visit (so I wouldn't worry). I highly recommend Darcy: not only for the exquisite care but for her warm, kind, caring and considerate personality which animals so appreciate (especially when their families are away). Thank you, Darcy and for Rover for bringing you to us!”
“Barbara was wonderful. She was very responsive when communicating with her. She sent us pictures with each visit. Ours were well taken care of. We would definitely use Barbara again.”
“Alison was great checking in on my cat while I was away for a few days. She was excellent in her communication and giving me updates on how he was doing, and I felt like he was in great hands. I will definitely be using her again next time he needs watching.”
About: I have many years of experience with all types of dogs. If you have a puppy or senior pet, big or small contact me . I am a full time dog walker! I would be happy to accommodate the service you need for your fur baby into my schedule. . I will come to you to make your furry friend feel comfortable! I will follow specific instructions left for me to give your pet the best care.
