About: I've had pets all my life ranging from fish, hamsters, frogs, cats and dogs. They have all taught me appreciation towards companionship and the joys of being a pet owner. I have around 5 years of experience pet sitting for family and friends. I am also an Eagle Scout who loves the outdoors, so taking your dog(s) for a walk or to the park would be my pleasure. I'm currently working part time in the morning of weekdays. I am free to take care of your pets after 12 pm and anytime during the weekends. At home, I take care of my cat Pepe where i attentively pet him when he shows affection. I feed him 3 times a day and clean his litter box everyday. For when i watch your pet, I will love and care for it as if were my own. I have experience caring for and walking dogs in the past 5 years for family, friends and past roomates.
“Always on time and available to take care of our puppy. She looks forward to going on her walks with Paige and has improved a lot on being on her own. Thanks for treating Honey like family!”
“Mike is an amazing dog walker. You can tell he really loves dogs. He has terrific communication and keeps in tabs with you on your pup. He often goes above and beyond to make sure your pup is okay. I highly recommend him to anyone needing a dog walker!”
“Carolyn was amazing. Our dog Lexi absolutely loved her time with Carolyn. She sent us many updates on her walk and even did a mini photo shoot for Lexi. Would definitely recommend her to others!”
“I highly recommend Nora. She was punctual, friendly, and even available during the holidays. She bonded wonderfully with Cosmo and took the time to learn how to use his special collar and leash.”
“Felix did a great job taking care of my dog for the weekend. He sent photos during walks to keep me updated and was always on time for the walks. He was very polite and communicative to make time time to meet beforehand.”
About: I am a lifelong dog lover and aim to treat your babies like my own. I am available most days during the summer and can walk your pups as often as necessary. I am a school counselor who is joining the Rover family to stay active during the summer. I am looking forward to meeting your pups! I can follow any specific requests that your dog may or may not need. My Kallie (Shiba Inu) gets hot on long walks during the summer so I always carry a clean collapsible water bowl and filtered water.
“Super fast communications, easy to get along and personable. Honest, respectful of home and care taking requests. Great first impression and looking forward to having a dog sitter.”
“Kim is the best dog walker I could have ever asked for! She cares for my dog and treats my dog like her own! Whenever my dog was sick, she would message me and see how my dog was feeling and if there is anything she can do to help! She is always extremely kind and flexible to my schedule! I would recommend her 1000 times over to anyone because I know your pet would be in great hands with Kim! She has been walking my dog for the last 7 months and my dog looks forward to seeing Kim every day! It will be a sad day when she can no longer look after my pup when I am at work!”
“Shawn has been walking my two dogs 3-4 times a week for over a year now. My boys adore him and he has become a part of our family. He always makes me feel like they are safe and in good hands; the love he has for them is as if they’re his very own. Shawn always sends daily updates on the dogs activities, whether ate/drank/pooped (lol)/etc. I know I can only speak for myself, but I think most people would agree that it is very hard to find someone you can trust the life of your loved one with. And for me, Shawn is exactly that person. I trust him with their lives. I know how much he cares for all animals, and I know I can always count on him. I would recommend him to anyone, and so would my boys.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a child. Lots of experience in caring for dog and dog walking. I also have experience in caring for a pet after surgery and administering medication. I understand how important it is for your dog to be comfortable while you are away from home. I work full-time, but I work from home two days a week. Those days I would be available for dog walking or checking in on your pet. Could do in-home sitting, preferably on weekends, but should be able to fit weekdays schedule also. I would be caring for your pet in your home. This would make them the most comfortable being in their own house. I will try to stick to the same routines that the owner does.
“Sara is wonderful! I’m so grateful for her. She’s very reliable and trustworthy and truly loves what she does. This is very obvious from the pictures and videos she shares on walks and/or dog sitting! I’d recommend her to anyone. She also is available often when I need her at the last minute. She’s very kind.”
About: I've been around household pets my entire life. My special skill is simply kindness and attention to detail. I will treat your fur baby as if it were my own. I am newly retired so all of my attention will be on your baby! I am newly retired and at home full time. All of my attention will go to your pup for the duration of their visit. He/she will always have company. I will be respectful of whatever routine you have in place for your fur baby. Outside of that, with permission, your pup would hang out with my family and I indoors and/or in our fenced in backyard. We do have an inground pool but I will be extremely attentive and careful not to ever leave your baby unattended. With your permission, your baby can join us for a nice swim!

Kyle H.
“Kyle has been wonderful caring for my dogs. He took care of our older cairn terrier . At 13 years old Rune was a bit slow and just needed some attention, Kyle was patient and sweet with him . Our pug, Maxie , was so goofy and a bundle of energy and Kyle gave her more playful attention. Finally , we now have a rescue mini doodle that can be a bit feisty but Kyle gets on the floor each time to earn Moose’s trust and wins him over for lots of play time. Kyle has demonstrated his ability to adapt to each dog’s personality and give them all love . His calm demeanor and patience shows how much he adores dogs of all shapes and sizes! Kyle has been reliable and punctual, complete with a warm smile. He is a trusted caregiver to my dogs.”
