“Wow - I cannot thank Boryana enough for all of her patience and professionalism! She was the first dog walker we EVER hired for our dog. With two young kids and both working parents it was becoming increasingly difficult to take our dog out on all his needed walks. I must admit we were super nervous about getting someone else to walk our dog because he does not do well with strangers. Boryana made sure to take it step by step every day to the point that our dog got so comfortable with her and was looking forward to his walks with her! She was always punctual and very communicative. Thank you Boryana!!”
“Love the pics appreciate your availability ...enthusiasm ... and love for pets specially Alistair ...thanks again and yuh will always be recommended... you’re always be first in line when need arise..”
“Ludwig is amazingly good with Otto and very responsive. He's been taking care of Otto while I have interviews - which change all the time. He's been a lifesaver for me and Otto just adores him.”
“Megan was great. Punctual, gave me continuous updates and never hesitated to ask me any questions to make sure I was satisfied. I will definitely reach out again for more services and recommend her.”
About: I owned dogs my entire life! I bred and raised a liter of 13, including mom and dad! My home has always had a dog! I can walk or sit on weekends. I can walk before 9:30 am and after 6:30 pm on Monday, Thursday and Friday. Saturday/Sunday very flexible! I make sure their water and food is fresh and their environment is safe and comfortable always! I show them lots and lots of love!
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was little. Feeding, playing, cuddling, doing all fun stuff! I have good experience with big dogs, since those were the kinds that I had growing up. I also love small dogs as well. I am good at calming dogs down, and relaxing them with slow pets. I can play gently or more roughly, depending on what the dog is used to! I am free all the time, since I just got out of school and this would be my full time job. I am always up early and go to bed late, so I have all the time in the world for the doggies! I make sure that my dog gets the right amount of food everyday, a good amount of snacks, sunshine, play time, exercise, hydration, sleep, and overall spends enough time with people. It’s good to socialize dogs as long as they are friendly. They need stimulation, especially if they are older! I also make sure my dog has her fuzzy pillow to sleep on, and make sure my fan is on, so she doesn’t overheat during the summer.
“Hailey is amazing with my dog. He immediately liked her, which was surprising because he’s typically shy initially. Dogs are great judges of character, and he was absolutely right. She is very caring and extremely punctual. I highly recommend her.”
“Kim is extremely reliable, and always a bright spot in Freddie’s day! She accommodated him when he wanted to walk farther, shortened up the distance when he wasn’t so eager to walk, and even would carry him around, knowing that was what he wanted. I highly recommend Kim!”
About: I have four years of hands-on experience caring for my own dog, which has given me a strong foundation in daily pet care and animal behavior. My responsibilities have included feeding, grooming, administering medications, and providing consistent companionship and exercise. I take pride in maintaining a clean, safe, and enriching environment for animals under my care. In addition to personal pet ownership, I’ve provided light pet care services in private households. These roles included walking, feeding, and monitoring the well-being of family pets during regular and extended visits. I am attentive to each animal’s specific needs, routines, and preferences. Families trust me to treat their pets with respect, patience, and reliability. My goal is always to ensure pets feel secure, loved, and well-cared for in their owner’s absence. I have a flexible job schedule that allows me ample free time throughout the day, making me highly available to walk dogs on a consistent basis. My adaptable hours enable me to accommodate various client needs, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I am committed to providing reliable and attentive care, ensuring every dog receives the exercise and companionship they deserve. My flexibility allows me to build strong, dependable relationships with both pets and their owners. I prioritize safety during every walk by using secure, well-fitting collars or harnesses and sturdy leashes. I stay vigilant of the dog’s surroundings to avoid hazards like traffic, aggressive animals, or harmful objects. I monitor the dog’s behavior and physical condition closely to prevent overexertion or distress. Hydration and weather conditions are always considered to keep the dog comfortable and healthy. In all situations, my goal is to ensure a safe, enjoyable, and stress-free experience for every dog in my care.

But my first job was letting my neighbor’s dog ever day after school in 5th grade and having since that first family I now have 10+ years of pet care (dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, and rodents). I have been trained in caring for puppies to old dogs, to care for ones with medical conditions such as being blind, cancer, and epilepsy. I am currently a senior attending St. Bonaventure University and have open availability if needed for house sitting, walking, feeding and day visits to care for your pets. I can feed and administer medicine if needed, care for pets who have special need or have a disability. I can walk and exercise pets, play and engage with them. Am able to crate pets and dogs if needed. Able to feed and water pets as well.

About: Hi my name is Geovana I am 27 years old, first thanks for reading! Since my childhood, I have taken care of my own pets, providing them with constant love and attention. I consider them an integral part of my family. In addition, I have had the opportunity to take care of dogs and cats of friends and now clients here at Rover, always making sure they feel safe and loved. I characterize myself as a very responsible and committed person, especially when it comes to animal welfare. I am an entrepreneur in handmade crafts with a flexible schedule, allowing me to take care of your pets at any time and location. Just check my availability, and I’ll be happy to help. I am unable to care for pets in my own home, but I am happy to look after them in yours. I can play with them, take them for walks, and feed them, ensuring they are well cared for while you’re away.
About: I've crate-trained my Hungarian Vizsla puppy, and I live with 3 adult dogs so I'm used to many personalities. I was also asked by my neighbor to care for her Bichon Frise when she went on trips. I am currently searching for a job so I have ample time to care for pet-sit, exercise, and spend time with them. I also have a big SUV so I can transport many dogs to a dog park or a walking path away from the house. I take my dogs out about 4 times a day because I'm living in an apartment at the moment. I usually take them for long walks, but I'm very cognizant of the weather and the heat of the ground on their pads. If we were going on a long walk I'd either have to do it in the early morning or night because it's just so hot in the summer.
About: I am an active individual and love the outdoors! If you have a pup who likes to run, I do not mind going for a jog. I have a small 9 year old Yorkie who loves other dogs and invites them happily into our home. My husband and I recently lost our senior dog who was almost 17. We have a lot of experience with providing senior dogs with a comfortable and extra loving home. I have puppy experience as well! We live on a beautiful property with 4 acres of land. While our yard is not fenced, we sit back from the road and I have taken my friend's dogs out on leash in our yard with no problems. It's a big yard with lots of exploring opportunities. I also enjoy going to the preserve in town to walk my dog and can happily do the same with yours. My husband and I take care of our Yorkie daily. On the days I have provided availability, I am home for the day/night. This allows me the time to care for another dog with our Yorkie. In the summertime, I plan to have weekday availability as I am a teacher and will be on summer break. I have a beautiful piece of property that while not fenced, sits back from the road and is great for a good walk through the grass on leash. I also love going for walks at our local preserve and live on a road that is pretty quiet that I frequently walk my dog on. I am always happy to stop in for a drop in visit while you are away for the day and need care for your pet. I am happy to crate your dog if needed.

He has grown up with a few dogs (and a cat as well). Unlike many children he was super helpful throughout his dog's entire lives. Not simply for the "puppy-moon" phase. He is very bright, graduated Georgetown with a high GPA and very responsible. You will be very pleased with his performance.”
