“Laura has been absolutely phenomenal with the weekly recurring dog walks. She gained the trust of our skeptical Bernese mountain dog immediately, and of course our golden loves her. Highly recommend!”
About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is the lifelong experience and genuine love I have for animals. I grew up in a home full of dogs and have always been surrounded by pets, learning early on how to care for them with patience and attention. Today, I have a dog and a cat of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your furry family members. I treat every pet like my own, with kindness, consistency, and a lot of love. Whether it's a walk, a drop-in visit, or just some extra playtime, I ensure your pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. As a teacher on summer break, I have a very open and flexible schedule, which means I’m available throughout the day to give your pets the attention and care they need. Whether it’s a morning walk, midday playtime, or an afternoon check-in, I’m able to provide consistent, dependable care. My background in teaching also means I’m organized, responsible, and great at following routines—qualities that translate well into attentive, loving pet care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their routine to help them feel safe and comfortable. I follow feeding schedules, provide fresh water, give walks or playtime, and make sure they get plenty of love and attention. I’m respectful of your home and any instructions you leave, whether it’s about medications, crate time, or favorite toys. If I were to offer care in my home, pets would have a calm, pet-friendly space and lots of companionship throughout the day. No matter the setting, I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel happy, secure, and loved while you're away.
“Natalee is very kind and conscientious, both to us and our pets. She takes great care of them, and they are always excited to see her!”
“Abby and Ian are great as always! I have trouble with buzzing them in sometimes, but they’re always willing to wait. I feel great knowing my pup Kit is getting the attention he deserves while I’m away, and I think he loves seeing them as much as me!”

“Kali was great! She came ready and prepared. You can tell that she has been around dogs and is a natural. Mario fell in love with her instantly. I would hire Kali again in a heart beat!”

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals. I’ve dog sat several times over the span of a decade. I’ve cared for dog breeds of all ages, sizes and personalities. Whether it was daily walks, overnight stays, and followed detailed care routines. I also love to stay active and will provide long walks in the neighborhood or local parks! As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to plan my classes and study time around pet care. Whether it’s starting with a morning walk or stopping by in the afternoon. Typically I am available Monday-Friday. In clients houses, I make it my top priority to care for your space, respect your pets as I would my own home. I stick closely to your pets usual routine for feeding, walks and playtime. And I’ll always keep you updated with photos or messages to see how they’re doing.
“Mary is so great! My dog Luna gets very adorably excited when she knows Mary is coming over for a walk. I totally trust her with Luna and I know they have a good time. Looking forward to rebooking! Thanks, Mary. 😊”
About: I’ve been taking care of animals all my life but have professionally done in the past 6 years! I love spending time around animals and I also stay hyper vigilant if there’s any issues going on! I am currently working in sales where I spend all day in Costco, so I'm looking for a way to get outside and make a new community of friends, and get some walk and play time in with a furry friend! Always more than happy to make time for your pet! I have a cat named Theo and he gets fed on a schedule three times a day, which seems to the perfect mix. I like to keep pets on a schedule and active so that they’re getting all the enrichment and care that they need! If there’s not a fenced in yard, I’m happy to go for a walk!
About: Hello! I’m looking to help you out and take care of your furry ones! I have grown up with pets my entire life (dogs, cats, birds, hamsters, etc.) and currently own a cat. Friends and family have relied on me as a pet sitter, where I provide the best care for their fur babies. I work during the day, so I will be available during evenings/nights and weekends. I may be able to accommodate sitting/boarding services if your pet doesn’t need constant supervision! I live in a pet friendly apartment, where I have 2 cats. While in other people’s homes, I am respectful of their space and leave everything where I found it!
“Brittany has been walking our puppy twice a week for several weeks now and it’s been going swimmingly. Communication has been really good and it’s been such a weight off our shoulders to know that Brittany will be giving our dog a fun break in the middle of the day when we can’t be home. She sends photos and little updates to let us know how their walks went and those are really fun to see. Highly recommend Brittany!”
“Very timely when I need a walk in a pinch! Would highly recommend!”
About: I have eagerly taken on the responsibility of pet care since childhood, which includes my own pets, the pets of family and friends, and yours! I am hoping to get a part time job for the summer soon, but as of now I am available most days of the week! I always make sure every animal in my care is getting their needs met. Due to my experience, I can identify and resolve most issues.
“Anna is wonderful! I was referred by a friend who is a long-time client of Anna’s and am so thankful for the recommendation! I’ve never used Rover before and was definitely nervous to trust my doggos with someone I hadn’t met with beforehand, but Anna has been so thoughtful, accommodating & caring with my fur babes! Highly recommend!”

“I have known Ashley for over 5 years. She is one of the most responsible person I know. She used to have a dog, and I have seen how much love and care she gave him. She is currently a cat mom that loves to spoil him with affection and love. Ashley loves the outdoors, so I have no doubt in my mind that she will be an excellent candidate to walk all the precious puppies in the neighborhood! She also has an experience working at a vet clinic, so she has a eye for detail, and experience to understand the pets needs. I would trust her with all of my own pets!”

Schenk-Atwood-Starkweather-Yahar dog parents share their Rover experiences
Hannah did a great job with our fairly high maintenance standard poodles. She won them over right away and asked great questions. She communicated well and we felt very comfortable having our babies in her care.
Mary was great! Our pup doesn’t tolerate the heat well and she even spent some extra time to make sure she wasn’t over heated after her walk!
Hannah always takes such good care of my dog! They go on regular walks together and my dog is always worn out and happy afterward!
Anna was on time, very friendly and patient with our pups. She’s kind and positive and they’ll be her friends in no time.
Jen D. has quickly become one of Gertrude’s favorite people. Jen D. Is reliable and always ready to help out when you’re in a pinch. We highly recommend that you should book Jen D.
I should have done this ages ago, I was struggling last month with pet care but was overwhelmed. Katie made it so easy, helped out with a last minute request, and I was able to relax while out. I definitely will use again!
Zach was timely and so helpful! We really appreciate him being available on a holiday weekend to care for our very energetic Vizslas.
Becky has been such a pleasure to work with! She is great with our puppy from the get go, and very organized, reliable, and communicative. I’m so happy to have connected with her!
Kooy really helped out for a last-minute need with my dog, Toliver. Toliver liked him and had a great time on their walks. Would definitely book again.
Kat is absolutely wonderful with my dog. My dog is elderly and in the last year had both of her "ACLs" replaced. Kat was happy to work with us on gradually increasing the length of walks, avoid pulling or pressure, and go at my dog's pace. I would recommend Kat to anyone looking for a dog walker or pet sitter.
We LOVE Nicole. She has a flexible schedule so when we have needed her in a pinch she is always available to help out. Our pup loves going on long walks and is always so excited to see her. She responds timely to requests and has great communication for how the walk went!
Brianna was very friendly, responded quickly, and sent updates on her walk with our dog! We look forward to booking with her again. Thank you!
Christopher is an excellent dog walker! He is communicative, friendly and thoughtful and his love for dogs really shows. Our dog enjoyed her time with him. We will definitely hire him again.
Cori was wonderful and conscientious with my dog, including notifying me and cleaning up when the dog made a mess of her foam dog bed!
I chose Annemarie to walk my brothers dog. Afterwards He texted me the following: She just returned Ricky after about a 45 min walk. Ricky came back in a good mood. The walker, named AnnMarie, was both pleasant and cheerful. She is worth utilizing if needed again.
Lauren is such a joy and you can tell how genuine and caring she is with our girl. She is very thoughtful and I know our dog is in good hands. Highly recommend!
Kim did great with Teddy on their half hour walk. Got cute pictures of my puppy and a nice update on how it went. Thank you Kim! I would definitely recommend Kim for pet care as responsible and communicative.
