“Kate made our first Rover experience amazing. Our dog was well taken care of with a great walk and feeding. The pics we got were super thoughtful and it was really comforting to see our pup so happy while we were gone. Highly recommend her and will be rebooking when needed! Thanks so much Kate!”
“Devinder is great with my dog. He takes the time to connect with Baloo and gives him the mid-day attention and care needed while I'm at work. Devinder is very reliable and is very good at communicating. I would highly recommend!”
“Sasha was amazing! Very reliable, my doggie loved her, and she communicated very well. Would absolutely use them again!”

“Cynthia was amazing with my dog and was great with keeping us updated on how he was doing. Thank you so much for taking such good care of our boy!!!!”
“Absolutely wonderful! Flexible, came early when I asked, was so perfect with the dogs, easy to work with, accommodating, professional, got the job done and gave 110%! I have two tired pups!”
“Kristen was a life saver! I pulled a back muscle this morning and could hardly walk. Kristen was able to fit me in and make sure my pup got a good walk.”
“I forgot to book my walks for the week and I work 12 hour shifts, so it is imperative that my tiny guy ( who refuses to go inside on puppy pads) be taken out. Bridgette saved the day, even with such short notice. My dog also loves her. I definitely recommend her to anyone.”
“I cannot recommend Sierra highly enough! My dog, Mickey, ran down the hall to meet her on her second visit. He’s never done that. She obviously had Mickey’s seal of approval immediately. Sierra is conscientious, very communicative, and extremely kind. She has my complete trust and respect, because she treats Mickey as if he were her own. To me that is the absolute best quality in a dog walker! Choosing Sierra as your dog walker is the absolute correct decision! Having Sierra walk your dog will keep you worry free and happy while your pup gets good exercise, has fun and is treated like family 😃”
“On time! So friendly and welcoming to Louie. Strong walker and updated me at every turn.”
About: I have loved dogs for all my life and have never been without one! I have more than 10 years of experience including pet sitting, dog walking, pet grooming, and volunteering at animal shelters. Although I’ve had several fur babies throughout the years, I currently have a 9 year old male chocolate labrador that lives with my husband and I. He is my favorite thing in the entire world! I am a local travel nurse and love to rover whenever I am not working in the hospital! I have experience with young, old, and special needs cats and dogs, including the visibly/audibly impaired, and experience with giving medications. I am available throughout the week (depending on my schedule) to come by your home to feed, play with, and care for your dog, as well as take them for walks throughout the day. I will treat your loved ones the same as I treat my own, with love, patience, compassion, and understanding! ❤️ As a travel nurse my work schedule changes everything 3-9 months, but is usually three twelve hour shifts per week. My availability will be dependent on my hospital schedule. I keep my rover calendar updated based on these schedules. My dog is my number one priority. His needs always come first and I work hard to make sure he has the best life possible. I offer these same commitments to your pets through my rover bookings. I make sure to get in touch with owners before booking to ensure I have all the information needed for their pet’s care, such as potty time, feeding schedule, any medications, walk times, etc. I’m always available for a meet and greet beforehand as well!
“Plan on using Kathleen again”
About: I’ve always had dogs around in my life. I’m a creative who has free time, enjoys animals and loves to be of service to others where I can! I work from home which gives me time to care for your pets in the morning, afternoon and evenings! I would never be gone longer than 4 hours. In the clients home I would become knowledgeable about the pets routine, diet, and any specific needs or requirements to help understand the pets behavior, likes, dislikes and anything I can do to help the pet feel more comfortable in their own home!
“Kara was a reliable and caring sitter. She walked tater for an hour every day for an entire week. I would highly recommend her she did a great job”
“Hollie is the best! He was so accommodating when I called last minute to walk my Taterbug (especially since he is not easy to walk). Hollie just does a great job all around!”
About: I've been taking care of dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. From high-energy puppies to senior sweethearts, I treat every pet like they're my own. I'm comfortable with administering medication, handling special dietary needs, and giving extra gentle care to shy and anxious pets. If I'm caring for your pet in your home, I'm tidy, respectful, and will make sure your pet feels safe and loved in their own space. You can count on me for prompt communication, regular updates, and lots of pictures! Let's set up a meet-and-greet! I'm currently out of school for the summer, so I have plenty of time on weekdays and weekends to care for your pets! I go back to school mid-August and will continue taking on gigs on the weekends then. I'm very tidy and respectful and you can trust me to take care of your pet in your home in a safe and gentle way.
About: My name is Mary Catherine, also known as Katie. I am a nationally certified and licensed Veterinary Technician. I have been involved in veterinary medicine and shelter work since 2005. I currently have 3 cats of my own, and have had dogs and cats and various other animals all my life. I know how very important it is to find someone you trust to care for your babies while out of town or in need of assistance. I would love to be that person to care for your beloved family member when you need someone to walk them, care for them while you are out of town, or stop in to give medications and TLC! I am not only a dog lover, but a self proclaimed cat lady and would love to care for your feline friends as well!
“It is always hard to leave our dog when we travel. Long trips out of the country are even harder, you really have to know your dog is in good hands! Vijay has been that person for us for a few extended trips, as well as the occasional afternoon dogwalk. I am always confident that our dog is in good hands. Vijay sends updates and photos and our neighbors have even noted how relaxed our dog is with her.”
