Ella is such an amazing caregiver! She was so unbelievably responsible and thoughtful. She took notes on our pitbul and asked what his likes and dislikes were. She would leave us little check-in notes when she would visit and walk our pup. She will be my go to pup sitter forever! We felt so comfortable and most importantly our pup felt safe and happy with her.

Taylor was fantastic! We needed to reschedule and she was on top of it and super responsive. She sent me pictures and kept me updated on her bowel movements and behavior etc. It was my first time using Rover for a dog walk and she exceeded my expectations! (Esp since my husband I have trust issues with our fur pup 😅) Highly recommend Taylor!

About: I truly treat every pet like they’re my own. I have hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals including dogs, cats, and more, so I’m very comfortable with different personalities, routines, and needs. I’m especially attentive to small details — like changes in behavior, appetite, or mood — so I can make sure your pet stays happy and healthy while you’re away. I have experience with energetic dogs who need structured walks and patience, as well as more sensitive or anxious pets who need a calm, gentle approach. I’m also comfortable caring for multiple pets at once and maintaining clean, safe environments (including litter boxes, cages, and feeding areas). What really sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give — I don’t just “watch” pets, I bond with them. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel completely at ease knowing your pet is in loving, reliable hands. Pet care is a big part of my everyday routine. I care for multiple animals at home, including dogs and cats, so I’m used to staying on a consistent schedule for feeding, cleaning, and giving each pet attention. I make time daily for walks, playtime, and bonding, and I’m very attentive to their behavior and needs. Caring for animals isn’t something I do occasionally—it’s part of my lifestyle, and I truly enjoy making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I always prioritize keeping their routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable and stress-free. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any specific preferences. I make sure pets have a clean, safe environment, plenty of attention, and regular potty breaks or exercise depending on their needs. I’m very attentive to behavior and will quickly notice if something seems off. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they feel reassured while they’re away. Whether I’m in my home or theirs, I treat every pet like my own and focus on making them feel safe, loved, and well cared for.

About: I’ve had dogs for years and currently have a dog of my own. I genuinely love being around dogs and understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy caring for your pet. I’m patient, reliable, and love going on walks, playing, and making dogs feel comfortable and cared for. As a registered nurse working hospital night shifts, my schedule can vary from week to week. I keep my Rover calendar updated regularly and communicate clearly to ensure reliable scheduling. On my days off, I have flexible availability and love spending my time caring for and walking dogs! As a registered nurse and dog owner, safety and trust are extremely important to me. I provide a calm, caring, and reliable environment where pets feel comfortable and well cared for. I pay close attention to each dog’s individual needs and always prioritize safety during walks and visits. I also love sending updates and photos so owners feel reassured while away from their pets.

About: I’ve had many cats and dogs ever since I was a child. My mom is a volunteer at a local shelter and we have fostered several dogs in the past as well. I have helped care for our own pets and the fosters over the years and I love it! I currently have a flexible schedule and am available for drop-ins or walks any day of the week. Times are also flexible for walks and drop-ins. I care for pets by listening to the pet owner’s directions in what they would like me to do and how they would like me to care for their pet. I am very friendly and affectionate but can also be stern when need be. I am able to walk, feed and clean litter boxes.

I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, guinea pigs, lizards etc. I am currently at stay at home mom for my 2 young daughters. I’m looking to make some extra money and play with as many dogs as possible with a my free time. We have a fenced in yard large enough for all types of dogs to run and play in. We also have double gates for extra safety in the yard. Inside the house we have gates set up to block off the livingroom where we can limit your dog from having access to the front door when people are entering and exiting the home. We also have a guest room that can be used if your pet gets overwhelmed or nervous and needs some alone or quiet time

About: Ask me about 4th of July Firework drop ins! Every dog deserves to feel like the main character of their day, not just the sidekick waiting for their human to get home. I keep a small number of weekday time slots open, so your dog gets the same dependable care each visit with plenty of updates so you know their story has a happy ending every time. I provide consistent, routine-based care for dogs who need walks and drop-ins during the workweek. Whether your dog is high-energy, a little anxious, or just thrives on structure, I make sure they’re exercised, cared for, and settled so their day flows smoothly. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes and temperaments and I’m comfortable following detailed routines, feeding schedules, and administering medications if needed. I’m a full-time author with a flexible schedule, so I’m available for consistent walks, drop-ins, and daytime care. Weekday midday visits and after-work slots are my most popular, and I keep a few standing times open for repeat clients who need reliable coverage during the week. I’m also available for house sitting. If you’re looking for ongoing care, I’m happy to help you with a routine that works for you and your dog. When I’m caring for your dog in your home, I follow your routines closely including mealtimes, walks, medications, and any training rules you have in place. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, including anxious, high-energy, and routine-sensitive dogs. I’m comfortable with crates if needed and focus on keeping dogs calm, engaged, and secure in their familiar space. You’ll get regular updates so you always know how your dog’s day is going.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have been caring for them most of my life, so being attentive to their needs comes naturally to me. I treat every pet like they’re my own; making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m reliable, patient, and pay close attention to routines, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, or just giving them the extra affection they’re used to. I’ll always keep you updated with photos and check-ins for peace of mind. I’m especially patient with shy or anxious dogs and take the time to help them feel at ease. My fiance Eric has also always grown up with dogs and was responsible for taking care of dogs and his cat while growing up and they all lived will into their senior years. I work full time where I commute Monday-Friday. Weekends I’m home. My Fiancé also works full time but he gets out a little earlier than I do. For weekend stays we are available to give your furry family the most attention and care. If there is need during the week I’m usually away from home for 10 hours during the day including my commute time to and from work. We will walk and feed them before we leave in the morning and as soon as either of us gets home will do the same and then again before bedtime. In our home, pets are cared for in a calm, safe environment. We live on the second floor of a house in a suburban neighborhood with sidewalks, which allows for safe, structured walks. While we don’t have direct yard access, we make sure dogs get regular walks, exercise, and attention. I also have a senior cat who is naturally shy and takes time to warm up, so I’m very understanding of pets who may be anxious or need a slower, more gentle approach. In a client’s home, I focus on maintaining your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or quiet time. I’m attentive to their behavior and needs, and I always aim to make them feel comfortable and secure while you’re away.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for friends and family since I was much younger. I’ve helped take care of small dogs and bigger dogs as well. I work full time but have flexibility to help with your pet before work, during lunch, and after work. My availability on the weekends is much greater. I treat every animal with respect and kindness as if they are my own. Every animal is special and deserves to feel valued! I stand by that

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life and take pride in providing attentive, active care. I’m certified in behavior analysis which comes in handy when reading what a dog needs in that moment and develop new skills. Being a foster dog mom to a beautiful pitty has also depend my experience with working with different personalities and needs. I love incorporating engaging and enriching activities for my pups to support development and mental stimulation. I’m currently working a full time job Monday through Friday 9 to 5 but, I am also available all day Saturday through Sunday. Monday through Friday I can be free to provide evening walks and potty breaks. On weekends I can provide walks, potty breaks and dog sitting. While I do not provide boarding at my home due to having limited space, I am available to do the dog sitting in your home. In my home with my current foster, it has been important with keeping her schedule consistent to help with her anxiety. This means that I play an important role with sticking to the schedule we have set. We also focus on redirecting her anxiety to preferred activities or toys like her bones or even letting her run it off in the back yard. She is very affectionate so I am also used to giving her lots of praise when she is doing things she is supposed to be doing and giving her lots of hugs when she cues for them.

I reached out to Abigail super last minute as I had to take a last minute trip and she didn’t hesitate to help. She walked Nala three days straight, followed all instructions, and kept me updated the whole time. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Nala was in such caring hands while I was away in Florida. I will absolutely book again!!
