“Mike was so great with our dog Toby. He walked Toby twice a day for two weeks while we were on vacation, and also fed him. Mike was terrific communicating with us the entire time to let us know how things were going and alerting us to any issues he saw at our house while we were gone. Thank you, Mike!!!!”

“Christ is so sweet and humble, I love him took multiple photos and was gentle with her. Khaleesi took an instant likely to him. Chris was friendly and follow my instructions. She had a great walk. I will definitely be contacting him again.”


About: Ever since I was born, there’s always been a pet in the house. I grew up with cats, dogs, even fish, frogs, and rats! I have been hired to take care of dogs, cats, and chickens a handful of times, and have taken care of my loved ones’ dogs and cats on many more occasions. I am trustworthy and reliable with a flexible schedule, and always ready to treat your creature with the utmost care and affection! I’m a freelance performance artist, and can likely make your schedule work! I am available for visits at all times of the day, including overnight. Whether it’s swinging by for a walk or staying overnight, I’m there! I am attentive to the needs of your pet including bathroom, grooming, exercise, playing, resting, and cleaning up after them. I will make sure I understand from you exactly what your pet needs and follow your/their schedule, while meeting any other needs that may arise during my visit!
About: I am retired, so I have plenty of time and availability to visit, house sit, play, and walk dogs around their neighborhoods or dog parks. I have no problem cleaning/refreshing litter boxes. I care for our two cats, and even though they're both semi-feral, they still need a lot of TLC and attention. Daily food prep, litter box maintenance, and play time. I take care to follow clients' wishes for their loved pets in their homes, including feeding, cleaning, playing, and ensuring the cats and/or dogs are loved and cared for.
“I booked Octavia for a last minute walk with my pup and everything was fantastic! We had good communication, she was on time, and she gave a great summary at the end of the walk. I’m adding her to my roster of walkers ASAP.”

“Brittany has been a great addition to Corbin's routine. She comes daily to walk, feed and play with him. She provides me with super cute pictures and an update on how he did”


About: I’ve had cats, dogs, and other pets my whole life, trained my own dog myself, and provide flexible, attentive, loving care for animals of all kinds. I currently work part-time as a lifeguard at a local pool, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to walk, feed, play with, and care for pets throughout the day. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for by following their normal routines, giving them attention, exercise, clean spaces, and constant supervision when needed.

About: I have 5+ years of experience walking and taking care of dogs, and I’ve loved every second of it. Exercising with a furry friend is always on my agenda! I am currently a full-time student at DePaul University in Lincoln park! I only have a class or two daily, leaving me open weekdays from 8-11 and 5-10! Weekends my availability depends, but I am flexible! I love to exercise and find ways to get my walks in daily, the buddy would just be an added plus! I currently live in a dorm, so any services would need to be provided outside of my residence. Im willing to stay overnights most days, depending on distance to Lincoln park / the loop.

About: I’m excited to pet sit for you! I’m a recent college graduate and have been pet sitting for the past 8 plus years primarily in Ohio and North Carolina. I historically have stayed over and house/dog sat with 1-3 dogs. But have also done my fair share of cat sitting. I love animals and grew up with dogs and hanging with my cousins cats. Unfortunately I have been moving around more recently and have not been able to get my own. I love going to dog parks, playing fetch, and going for runs with dogs. Also, I have fun playing with cats and laser pens. I’m new to Washington, hence the Rover account. I’m free most weekends and also available in the evenings to walk dogs. I'm currently in grad school. I take mostly evening courses so am happy to come by for a mid-day walk and fairly free on most weekends. I'm hiking most weekends, so would love to take your furry friends on a hike! At this time my home is not available to pet sit but I am happy to come to your home to let pets out for a walk or to spend time together to play!
“Susan was incredible - she walked our dog Toby every day for a week while we were traveling. She sent pictures each day to keep us up to date and make us miss Toby less. Toby loved playing with her and walking with her. I’d have Susan take care of him any time we travel in future.”

About: I’ve helped take care of and train dogs of various sorts and sizes since I can walk along with my dad. I’ve gotten my love for animals as a whole from him and it’s the perfect therapy and job. Having many dogs, cats, birds, turtles, fish and pet crabs throughout my life has helped me to have an extra sense of care, love, and attention for all animals. I’m currently working part-time, so I’m available to play, train, and care for your lovable furry friend 7 days a week from 8am to 2pm and 9pm to 12am. I have a fenced front yard and backyard for your lovely pets to freely roam and play with me. I also have a 7 year old Shih Tzu and a 2 year old cat (both females) whom are very loving, calm, and ecstatic to meet a new friend. A crate is available upon request as well.
“Thanks for always taking such good care of Walter! He seems to enjoy his time with you and I love the information you give us. You also take the best pictures of Walter ever!!”


About: It’s simple. I just love dogs. I love my dog. I’ve had dogs all my life. I like to walk dogs just plain and simple. I have a friendly dog now and walk it and let it outside and take care of it. He’s part of my family and fixed. I have a fenced in yard and pay a lot of attention to the animals needs. I make sure they’re happy and pay a lot of attention to animals.
