“This girl is a treasure.”
“Naomi responded super fast to my initial requests, had fantastic communication throughout, and was on-time both days that I had her help out. I got a bunch of pictures and status updates on my pup both times she walked her. I could not recommend her enough. I will definitely be using her again!”
About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life and have lived with dogs of all sizes. I’ve cared for and handled dogs as big as 130 pounds and feel confident with all temperaments and breeds. I just moved to the area and currently have a very open and flexible schedule, so I’m available most days and times to help care for your pets. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always take the time to understand each animal’s needs and personality, and I create a calm, trusting environment where they feel safe, happy, and well cared for.
“Hound has been great with our dogs and they seem relaxed and happy when we get home. Manages the needs of our very old husky and young border collie mix very well so they both get the attention and exercise they need.”
“Maria was great! She came everyday as scheduled and did great with our funny dogs. She was very reliable and I would definitely recommend her. Thank you again, Maria for caring for our fur babies!”
“My pickles absolutely loved his walk with Denielle. Her communication and attention to detail are top notch. If you are looking for top teir dog sitter or walker who loves your furry friends like her own then look no further!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs & cats since I was growing up. My family had cats and I’ve had roommates with dogs. I love to walk, so dogs owners if you need your pet to get out and about I’m more than willing. I am a pharmacist. My shifts vary at times, but I am very flexible when I am not working. I do not mind staying overnight or coming over on weekends. If you need an overnight sitter or need to me walk or let the dog out I’d love to help out! My roommate (who recently moved out), had a three year old dog. I loved to walk her especially since we had different schedules. I also have plenty of experience sitting for dogs and cats. I don’t mind if they want to sleep in the same bed.
About: I was raised in a home that had both dogs and cats. I'm the proud dad of a 16 year-old cat. I also have years of experience as a pet sitter for both dogs and cats. I'm on fixed income, so my schedule is very flexible. It's important to me that I have plenty of time to build trust with new furry clients. I strive to create an environment where your animal will feel cherished and comfortable in your absence. I believe that quality 1-on-1 time is critical to keeping your pets stress-free.
“Brittney is great with Butters! He loves his weekly walks. He is high energy but Brittney knows what she a doing! We appreciate all of her help.”
“Rhianna did an excellent job for our dog. Was very easy to communicate with her and we look forward to continuing using Rhianna as our dog walker.”
“Abbey was fantastic. We needed a last minute dog walker for a trip we took and she was ready and willing. Our dog, George, did great with her and I loved knowing he was in good hands. Thanks Abbey!”
“Mia was great!! We recently hired her for a walk so my pup could get to know her a bit before an upcoming house sit. She's been prompt with responding, right on time for the walk and super patient with my dog who is very wary of strangers. Highly recommend! :)”

About: I have had a dog in my home for as long as I can remember. A few years ago, my family made the decision that our family’s dog would come with me to college, and now he is living his best life. I love caring for my Vinny everyday, and I cannot wait to share that love with your pet! I am a full-time student during the school year and work a part time job. Depending on the day, I have more time on my hands than I know what to do with. I only walk during daylight hours to ensure the safety of myself and your dog. I choose trails that are open to the public but never too crowded.
About: I’ve had pets since I was young! I currently have my own dog who I raised alone, she is perfect and loves other dogs/cats :) I have multiple days off- so able to be flexible and in the home most of the time with your pet! They would never go more than 4 hours without going potty :) We live in an apartment- so your pet will only be walked or they will play in our fenced in dog park area. They will never be unattended :)
About: I have taken care of dogs for over 10 years. I often dog sit for my parents and friends. I am very adaptable to the needs of any animal! I currently work full time day shift and always have weekends off. On the weekends, we like to take walks to the park to play or just stay home and cuddle up on the couch and watch movies. I have a fenced in backyard. I work 10 minutes from home so I am free to stop in and let dogs out throughout the day.

“Andrea accepted our request last minute and continued with the prompt communication which was very appreciated! Loved the Rover Card and will definitely rebook again for future needs :)”
About: My entire childhood my aunt who lived with us, bred toy poodles. So, caring for puppies to dogs is my specialty. From feeding to walks, snuggles and play, I do it all with love and care. Since having children, we have discussed fostering dogs and we found this would be the best way to love on some dogs and make an income as a stay-at-home mom of two. I am a stay-at-home mom, so we are available mostly all the time other than drop off and Pickup from school, and can move commitments around fairly easily. I have a fenced in yard, and two young children to run around and play with your fur baby, walk with them and help feed them. We live in a quiet neighborhood with a lot of running space along walking paths.

“Charity is an amazing dog watcher who knows how to meet your pups where they are at! She watched my 2 babies for a weekend and provided enough updates for me to know they were doing great but not be bombarded by them. She is warm and extremely friendly.
