Julia is absolutely the best! We met for a meet and greet beforehand and my dog instantly fell in love and was comfortable with her. She sends detailed updates and photos during their walks. I know my pup is in great hands which puts my mind to ease. Super thankful to have found her on Rover and would highly recommend her to others

Gray is the perfect person to care for any of your pets! She has taken care of my (wildly) enthusiastic 1.5 year old Golden Retriever with incredible patience, love, and responsibility. Gray is my go-to with puppy care and goes the extra mile with lots of play and attention during their time with my pup. My dog gets SO EXCITED when getting to hang with Gray yet, Gray somehow manages to have a calming presence on my dog soon after the initial greeting is over. I couldn't recommend a pet sitter/walker any more highly than Gray!

About: Since 2016 I've dog sat for my friend and her family on numerous occasions-- Her sister's dogs, her grandmother's dog and her own three dogs. Most of the pups were easy to take care of but some were a little more hyperactive and with very willful personalities. I love animals and try to find ways to make time in my life to spend with them. I'm very patient and like to hang out with dogs from all walks of life, from puppies to old dogs, and from very friendly to more socially awkward dogs. I'm currently working part-time while working on my illustration career on the side. I have a very open schedule as I mostly work 3-4 days a week, and the shifts are short. I know my schedule in advance for the month, so I'm very flexible and it will be simple to fit in time to take care of animals. I won't be providing service in my own home, but for drop-ins, pet-sitting and walks, I'm very punctual! I have my own transportation so traveling isn't a problem. I don't mind taking special care to get dogs and cats alike to warm up to me, and since I have grown up around animals I'm well-versed in their behavior. I'm confident in my ability to treat your pets as if they were my own!

Rose is fantastic with our dog. Kind, prompt, and compassionate. He’s not the most active guy and can be stubborn and Rose has embraced it all. We are so lucky to have found her.

I met Carla V in the fall of 2021. At the time she lived in walking distance from my home. Since I was new to the neighborhood and having no family living close by, I asked Carla if she would watch my dog while I was away for a week. Bo, my newly acquired dog at the time, was a rescue from Georgia. He was not an easy dog to care for. Bo is a mixed breed off Border Collie, some field bred hunter species and Pit, but very loving. He had just turned three when I got him in 2020, and although weighing only 50 pounds, was pure muscle and needed an assertive exercise program. Also, because he had harsh beginnings in Georgia, I needed to leave him with someone I could 1) trust, 2) was comfortable with rescue dogs (her sister was a trainer), and 3) was a firm, but very caring, handler. Bo loves Carla and, to date, she has stayed with him several times. Carla is not just a dog sitter, she’s a surrogate “dog-mom” to Bo.

Celeste is absolutely wonderful with my dog, Awnya! She takes such great care of her and they've been able to build a lovely bond. It helps me to feel so much more calm about going away on trips when I know Celeste is looking after my girl. It also feels nice to return from a trip and find a very happy and content pup. Thanks Celeste!

About: My love for animals has always been a huge part of who I am. I have grown up with many different kinds of animals and have had/currently have some of my own! I’ve owned a Saint Bernard who was 20 lbs when I brought him home at 10 weeks and grew into 165lbs of love. I’m comfortable with all sizes of dogs/pets. I currently work as a nurse, so I am very comfortable giving your pet any medications that they need while in my care :) My work schedule can be all over the place, but I usually have 3-4 days off during the week that I would love to fill with walking/playing with other furry friends! I have had pets who are very social and don’t need an introduction time, to animals who are very skittish and need lots of patience. I will always listen to you about how to best approach your pet, just as I would want for my pets :)

Brandon was a great pet sitter! I have a cat with special needs and he was attentive and always kept me updated- it made me feel so much more comfortable with going out of town. He was also SO good with my other cat who is super shy. I will definitely be using him again!
