“Dmitra is the best!!! She walks our goldendoodle Griffin twice a week and is really amazing with him! Because of our schedules I usually have to tell her only a day or two in advance which days we need her help each week and she’s always really flexible and great about it! We also have cats that like to try to sneak out of the house, and she’s great about keeping an eye on them to make sure they stay in while she takes Griffin out for his walks. So glad we found her!!!”
“Amazing walker! Meghan took multiple pics and left comments about each walk, which made us feel comfortable and confident our boy was taken care of. Flexible with times and very kind. Will be working with Meghan from now on and would highly recommend.”
About: I had a pup for 12 years before he passed of cancer. I never thought I could love an animal quite as much as this guy. He was my best friend - we did everything together! We went on runs, ate chicken nuggets, strolled the neighborhood and even hiked for hours on end! When he passed, a part of me was torn and I could never bring myself to recommit to another pup full time. I realize how innocent animals are and how much love and dedication they need from us each and every day. I know how to care for pets and understand the importance of feeling safe with a sitter. I am a genuine and honest individual with your pet's best interest at heart!! I work from home most days from 730 - 430 with the exception of Monday mornings. Although I am a fitness instructor with various classes each week, I am typically flexible and can make most times work. Although I only have a small backyard, I have a big house. Also, there is a baseball field just steps from my backdoor. There is plenty of space inside and outside to have fun!
“Thank you Kathleen! I had a last minute change of plans and needed someone for my dog Truffle. Within hours, Kathleen stopped over and made sure Truff was let out, walked and has food and water before she left. I felt so much better after she was there. Appreciate the help! Truffle looked happy as well. :)”
About: I’ve had dogs since I was 9 years old. I had a senior doggy that I recently had to put down and I miss having time with a doggy. I’m able to do drop in visits, walks, feedings, in morning and evening or anytime on weekends. I’m in graduate school, I’m free early morning 7-10 am and anytime after 2 pm and all weekends are open. Flexible to you and your pets needs! I will not be able to to have pets in my apartment due to lease restrictions but I will do whatever is needed to make you and your pet feel comfortable in your home!
“Lara was great walking my two dogs! Very thorough and helpful”
“Claire was great in accepting a walk booking for my Winnie at a time that was just hours away from my same-day request in a pinch and really helped me out when no other Rovers could. She was prompt, prepared, and very kind/patient and I would absolutely book her again.”
“Chelsea has been a wonderful and reliable walker for my dog, Hoagie, for several months. She does a great job of keeping me informed on how things are going on the walks and always take some nice pictures. She even brought a toy or two as a Christmas gift. I highly recommend Chelsea and so does Hoagie.”
“Richard was great! He was very accommodating and I felt very safe and comfortable leaving my Enzo in his care. He was thoughtful and even brought in my packages for me. Will definitely use him again!”
“Natalie made me feel like I could easily leave town & enjoy myself knowing Ozzy was being well cared for! Not only does she have a great vibe that I picked up on, but Ozzy did as well. She walked him, played with him, & fed him while I was away. I would 100% recommend her services!”
About: I have been taking care of pets for friends, family, and neighbors for years. I also grew up always having dogs and cats. I am open to helping with any needs as well as training. I currently work full time and my schedule is typically M-F 9-5. I am looking to fill my free time before and after work, as well as on weekends. As most of my services will be outside of my own home, I will ensure to be respectful of your space. If any of my services do require me to be in your home for more than a few minutes I will be respectful of your space and leave it the way it was left. I will ensure to put all pet materials in the same place I found them.
“Ashley is awesome! She’s super responsive to texts and flexible. She takes care of Shiloh like her own hound dogs, and he looks forward to her every time. Couldn’t recommend her enough!!”
“Allie was on time and communicative! She walked into quite a mess as Millie got ahold of some things she shouldn’t and Allie was quick to get in touch with Mr!! Millie seemed so happy and content when I got home to her. Thanks for everything!!”
About: Growing up, I wanted to be a vet since I loved animals so much and always wanted to be around them. I’m not a vet now, but I still love animals very much and love to be around them! I grew up with lots of different pets, ranging from fish to horses. I am very comfortable with dogs and cats as I grew up with them and have fostered cats in my adulthood! I wfh Mondays and Fridays so am available on lunch breaks at 12! The weekends are also pretty flexible for me too, just message me to find a time! Depending on the animal/their current mood, I will determine if they want to play, relax, go outside, etc. I’m super detail oriented so I am very responsible with ensuring the animal has water, is fed on time, doors are locked, and goes to the bathroom when needed.
About: I’ve worked at a dog and cat boarding and daycare center for over three years, and have years of experience cat sitting for my neighbor. I’ve worked both in the kennel and daycare and have experience in different areas of animal care. As a recent graduate, I have more free time! I am a recent college graduate who works part time at a kennel. I am always able to make time to care for pets and adapt my schedule! I cater to the needs of the animal and owner. With having experience with different needs of an animal at my boarding and daycare job, I have an understanding of how to reach those needs.
About: I have experience with several animal species, either mines or from family members. I have experience with dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, small animals like hamsters, farm animals, insects, etc. I work from home in a flexible schedule, so I have flexibility to take care of animals in different places as convenient for the schedule I have a fenced yard for the pet's convenience, just for potty time. I can also walk pets around. Just indicate what you want at every place
About: I’ve been pet sitting dogs and cats for family friends in my neighborhood since middle school. They have trusted me to feed their pets, walk them, and play with them. I’ve even pet sit bunnies and chickens. I currently work three and a half days a week at a dental office. I have some availability on the weekends and my days off. I can adapt to any environment, whether you have a fenced in yard, electric fence, or no fence at all. I can put your pet in his/her cage if need be as well.
About: I've lived with animals pretty much my entire life. I've had two dogs, two rats, a mouse, a ferret, and seven cats total. I often pet sit my friends and families dogs and cats and even guinea pigs and geckos. So while I don't have any trained professional experience in pet care, I do have an abundance of personal experience. I absolutely adore animals so I will do my best to treat yours with as much care as I have. This is my full time job so I will be available for all of my listed services every day of the week from 8 am - 10 pm preferably in day light hours. I am very flexible with my hours so I can prioritize your schedule. While walking your pet I will remain vigilant to ensure its safety. I will follow any rules/instructions given to me such as how/if to interact with other people/animals.
“Followed all of my (many) instructions and sent a lot pictures throughout the visit. Very timely and responsive.”
About: I grew up on a farm in rural Pennsylvania, and my family has had dogs and cats my entire life. I have experience caring for senior animals, including administering medication and even injections. I have helped train many family pets, and have even rescued a kitten! I work an 8-4 hybrid schedule (sometimes in-office, sometimes remote), and I love to go on long works before/after work. I would love the opportunity to include someone’s fur baby on my walks! My house has a yard, and I live about 2 blocks from a fenced-in dog park. I also have full availability on the weekends. My home has a yard, and I live close to a fenced-in dog park, so your pup will have the opportunity to play off-leash. I have one male cat who is very friendly and comfortable with dogs. I can provide any services necessary in your home, my goal is to accommodate your pet’s needs as much as possible.

3. Nicole D.
“Nicole has the upmost compassion for animals. She has always had this compassion and love for them. She treats her own animals like they are her children, and they have the attention, love, and support any pet could ever ask for. Her pets are happy and will get excited the moment she walks in the door because they know she is there to provide them with love and even conversation :) When Nicole comes to my home she ALWAYS spends time with both my dog and cats. They love her because she takes the time to show them attention. Nicole would be an EXCELLENT caregiver to anyone's pet. She is responsible and will focus all her attention on them while they are in her care. She wouldn't let anything happen to them and would offer security and companionship while they are in her care. Anyone would be lucky to have her help with their animals. She would be the best they could ask for and is reliable.”
