“Tamara is very professional and always excited to care for my dog. My dog lights up and barks like crazy when it’s time for her to care for him. I don’t trust anyone else with my dog. I highly recommend Tamara she’s so loving and caring for all fur babies.”

“Henry was a great walker for my dog Jack, and he communicated with me really well.”

“Danielle was prompt, reliable, and friendly. My dog and I thoroughly enjoyed working with her!”

“Had a great first experience. Samantha came over for a meet & greet and test walk. she then took Diego on a 1 hour walk and they both had a good time. Samantha was easy to coordinate with and is friendly. Looking forward to next time :)”

“I believe Delajah would be an amazing dog sitter because she has had experience caring for her own pets in the past. When they make a mess she cleans it up. When they’re hungry she feeds them . If I had a pet I would hire Delajah to care for them because she would make them feel safe and comfortable, while holding them accountable and she would give them unconditional love and always be there for them.”

“Last month my hubby grandmother died and we had family over. A relative of mines was not pet friendly so we had Nakeisha sit for us. Prince was happy and we received texts with photos and videos. Clean apartment and very professional.”

About: Hi there! We’re a dedicated and enthusiastic team of dog lovers who can’t wait to meet your furry friends. Our mission is to provide you with ultimate peace of mind when you travel, offering the highest quality pet care that not only keeps your pets safe and happy but also enriches their lives through physical activity, mental stimulation, all while in a stress-free environment. Dogs have always been a big part of our lives—we’ve grown up with them, cared for them, and even took in foster dogs to give back to these amazing companions. Over the past year, we’ve had the pleasure of caring for countless pets, and we’ve come to realize just how rewarding working with dogs truly is. My background includes managing a dog boarding and grooming facility since 2021, which remains the best and most fulfilling job I’ve ever had. That experience taught me so much about different breeds, genetic issues, grooming needs, and more. My partner brings over 4 years of hands-on experience with dogs, including professional work as a bather and dog trainer. Together, we make an exceptional team, fully equipped to care for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. We know how important it is for your pups to feel like cherished members of the family, and we’re prepared to treat them just that way—with your permission, of course! Whether your dogs love playful adventures, peaceful walks, or snuggly downtime, we’re here to provide personalized care tailored to their needs. Here are some of the services we offer: • Dog boarding: A comfortable, safe home-away-from-home for your pups with plenty of love and attention. • House sitting: We’ll stay in your home and keep your pets company while ensuring your house stays tidy and secure. • Drop-in visits: Quick check-ins for meals, potty breaks, playtime, or whatever your dogs need while you’re away. • Dog walking: Whether your pups enjoy a short stroll or a long adventure, we’ll make sure they get the exercise and outdoor time they need. Our top priority is to keep your pets happy, healthy, and safe. We send regular updates, including photos and messages, so you can stay connected with your dogs while you’re away. We also take the time to learn about your dogs’ routines, preferences, and any special care they need to ensure they feel comfortable and loved. We treat every dog we care for as if they were our own, with lots of patience, love, and attention. Whether it’s a fun trip to the park, a calming cuddle session, or an extra treat for good behavior (with your permission, of course!), we’ll ensure your pups have a fantastic time while they’re with us. Let’s set up a meet-and-greet to discuss how we can best care for your dogs. We can’t wait to be their new favorite human friends! New to Rover?

“Mother-in-law said Stella LOVED Bola and was so excited for all her walks!! The only thing she would change to make this a 5 start rating was the inconsistancy of arrival time and lack of communication in regards to being late. Overall, amazing service!! We look forward to working with Bola again in the near future!!”

“Highly recommend! Jade Olivia really loves dogs and have great patience with my puppy.”

“I am delighted with her work, she has taken care of my little Lukas as if he were the most precious treasure I have. I recommend her with my eyes closed, I know I can count on her. 💕”

“From what I can tell, Lorna is amazing with dogs--my pup is super high maintenance and has a lot of quirks, but Lorna does such a great job with him. Not only does she follow all of my various instructions for him very closely, but it also seems like she shows him lots of love and affection too. Lorna is also great with communication and always responds quickly. Whenever I pick my boy up after a stay with her, he never wants to leave!”

“Victoria was a wonderfully caring and consistent dog walker. Highly recommend!”

“Fantastic. Does well with instructions and very communicative. Happy to use her as a daily walker!”

“Grace is an exceptional pet caregiver whom I recommend to anyone seeking a responsible and loving care for their furry friends. Grace has a unique ability to create a connection with any pet. I witnessed Grace's care firsthand when she helped me pet-sit a friend's cat. Not only did she ensure the cat's basic needs were met, but she also made time to play with the cat and give her lots of attention. Grace's responsible nature and genuine love for animals make her a great choice for anyone in need of a trustworthy pet caregiver.”

“Sol was truly so wonderful with our dog, Pony, and came through for us in a big way with a last-minute request (for *four* days of sitting!) Also I think it's worth noting that when we returned, Pony was noticeably better behaved on his leash for walks. Pony's pretty big (85 lbs!) and can be rambunctious, but it was so clear from the get-go that Sol had everything totally under control. He came to us highly recommended by another dog/house sitter we love, and now that we've been able to work together, I would recommend him to anyone!”

About: I love caring for pets so I figure what better way to express that than by putting my skills to use through this app. I’m here to make your day less stressful! I’m home full time and I have a pretty flexible schedule so whenever you need me I’ll most likely be available. I’m calm, active and fun so your dog is truly in good hands with me. I’ve been dog sitting for the past two years now and I’ve learned the importance of being sensitive to the dogs needs. I’ve also learned the importance of being consistent with the owner’s original rules for their dog. No need to ruin all the hard work that you’ve put in to train them properly. See you soon!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 16. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets I am currently self-employed so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! I am available for boarding and weekends and weekdays after 1pm…. I have a fenced yard, lots of toys for you furry babies to play with and I can easily crate your dog and or cat if needed.

“Skyelar has a great way with animals. They have a very good balance of calm and playful energy to meet your pet where they are at and put them at ease. Skyelar is willing to go the extra mile to make sure your pet is feeling safe, happy and loved. They are very neat and punctual and will leave your space very tidy even if things get a little messy with your pet. With my senior dog they did a very good job of making sure he got plenty special attention and care.”

“Monique did an excellent job caring for our dog and cat! They were well taken care of, and she followed their feeding and potty schedules perfectly. She provided daily updates and pictures, which kept us reassured throughout. Her communication was outstanding, making it easy to stay in touch. As this was my first time using Rover, I was a bit nervous, but Monique quickly put my mind at ease with her professionalism and kindness. I will definitely be booking with her again!”

About: Im a stay at home mom and am able to be home all day, so dogs will never be left unattended. I have experience caring for dogs for 15 + years, I have cared for cats, Hampstead, snakes, guinea pigs, birth kittens, birds, etc. I will allow pets to sleep where they wish, and roam as they please, while keeping an eye on them to make sure they don't cause any trouble. Plus, I will give them lots of loving, attention, and treats! They will be treated as if they were my own and nothing less, including getting to sleep in the bed! (if you allow your pup to of course) I will follow your requested schedule for walking and feeding. I provide a minimum of 4 walks a day, but that can definitely be adjusted to your preferences/needs. There are 3 different parks on my block, that I will take the dogs to so they can run and play! All are fenced in. One is gravel, and the others is grass. All the dogs I take there have plenty of fun, and love to run around and play. If you have any specific questions or concerns, please contact me. I'm willing to handle all types of dogs, no matter breed or personality. I assure you, your child will be in great hands and staying in a loving, welcoming home!
