“Thank you Matt for not only braving the cold temps (coldest yet this winter). But also for bringing Zeke home tired enough for a long nap! Thank you!”


“Caroline was super accommodating with our young puppy's (and our) needs. She was up for us walking along with her, so our puppy could get feel more comfortable around her for the first meeting. Definitely will be requesting Caroline again for help with our puppy!”


“George was great! He helped us out on short notice and was super easy to communicate with! He gave our dog a nice report card and some great pics! Highly recommend!”


“Tina was very friendly, right on time for pick up & drop off! She shared all the things he did on the walk! I would definitely request her services again!”


“Ronnie did a great job walking my Minnie girl for me! I appreciated him coming so last minute- glad to have a good person to help keep Minnie entertained ☺️ thank you!!”


“Lavinia was very thoughtful and thorough. She was prompt, took very good care of our dogs and sent feedback with pictures. We couldn’t have been happier with her!”


“Andrew was on time and totally respectful. He was very calm with our hyper puppy and did a great job of letting the pup come/warm up to him. We had a few requests (sitting at sidewalks and heeling by people) that make walking the pup a little more work. Andrew was more than happy to work with all of our requests. Definitely recommend!”


About: From high-energy pups to more anxious or reserved dogs, I have the skills and experience to take care of all of your pups needs! I love every pet like they're my own, making sure they feel as safe and comfortable as possible. I'm a grad student with night classes coming up part-time this fall, meaning I have lots of time during the day to take care of your pet! When I care for pets in their own home, I cater to their needs - whether that's giving lots of attention, playtime, or snuggles. I'm always careful to respect household rules and keep everything clean and safe. I'll also keep you updated on a regular basis, and make sure to send lots of pictures while you're away!

About: I've walked and exercised dogs. Fed them. Snuggled them. I have a pretty laid-back personality, so I hardly stress out even when a dog is barking at me. I understand they need to get use to a person first sometimes. I work a super laid-back job from home so I have plenty of time to spend with any pets throughout the day, whether they be dogs who need walking or cats who need snuggling. I follow the routines outlined by my clients, and use my intuition to know what the pet is needed or feeling in the moment. It probably sounds corny, but it's the best way I know how to describe it. An attentive person can tell when they're upset or when they're at peace.

“Priya has been super reliable when it comes to late night walks with my pup. She is very respectful with my space. I can see she really enjoys spending time with my dog. She even walks her longer than the expected time, which I greatly appreciate.”


“Morgan was responsive, attentive to my dog, and communicated with me while I was gone. I had to go out of town with little notice and I have a very sensitive dog but she took him on nice long walks and gave me great recaps. My dog loved her and was happy to see her every time. Would 100% recommend Morgan”


About: I’ve had dogs and cats since I was very young and have always loved caring for animals. As a dedicated pet sitter, I have experience pet-sitting (cats and dogs!) for professors during college and dog-walking as well for friends over holiday breaks. 🐾 What I Offer: ✔ Experienced dog-walker, great with neighborhood walks or fenced yard playtime ✔ Experienced with overnight pet-sitting and in-home pet care for cats and dogs ✔ Comfortable with dogs of all sizes, from small breeds to large dogs ✔ Cat mom to two rescues—a senior and a kitten—so I understand the unique needs of both young and older cats Whether your pet needs company while you're away or just an extra walk and attention, I’m happy to help! I am a fresh graduate taking a break before graduate school - so I'll have plenty of time to take care of your furry companions! As such, I have a very flexible schedule and can work around most pet care routines. I have experience with walking/in-home dog and cat sitting and understand the importance of keeping your pets entertained while maintaining a safe environment. Please communicate any specific needs (such as areas they prefer to walk through, medications, etc.) and I will accommodate them!

“Carla has done a great job with my dog! I have a pretty high energy dog and she has been able to handle her well, would definitely recommend her!”


About: I have been working at a dog daycare/boarding facility for over a year now, supervising up to 100 dogs a day. I care for and play with dogs of all sizes and ages, as well as give them baths when needed, feeding them meals, and giving needed medications. I have experience with many different kinds of dog behavior to know when they are anxious, scared, or if something is bothering them. Outside of work, I dog sit for family and friends, taking the dogs for walks and adventures so you will always be sure they will be tuckered out by the end of the day. I am currently fostering a dog through K9 Orphans, Mia. She is a sweetheart with severe stranger danger (we are working on it) and I plan on adopting her in the near future. So I have experience with dogs who are reactive toward strangers. Through years of experience working with dogs, I’ve learned no personality is the same. I find it very important to learn what a dog’s specifics needs are and make sure they are met. My job at the daycare is full time and I work shifts that are between 6 and 8 hours (usually late morning through evening). Since I do work later in the day I have plenty of morning time to spend taking care of pets as well as flexibility into watching dogs into the evening as well. Working at a dog daycare I experience everything that comes with working with dogs. I clean up anything you can think of, I understand dog behavior and when they are overwhelmed or anxious, and I know how to handle an aggressive dog. My main priority is to always keep them safe and happy.

About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was 14 years old for various friends and family members. I have also grown up with many different animals including cats, dogs, reptiles, and aquatic creatures. Currently, I have two cats, one being senior who requires special attention since he has Lyme disease. Taking care of pets has been a huge passion of mine and fills me with so much joy. In recent years, I have had the opportunity to take care of kittens, puppies, senior cats, senior dogs, and a tortoise. I pride myself in being meticulous and trustworthy when taking care of all animals. I currently work from home which allows me to be flexible with taking care of pets. Along with working from home, I also work 4 day work weeks which gives me lots of extra time to care for your pets. When working from a clients home I am sure to follow all instructions and respect the home. I am meticulous and thorough in cleaning up any pet messes and ensuring a safe space for your pets. I am also good at providing updates and providing extra services if needed (bringing in mail, watering plants etc.)

About: Hi! My name’s Misa and I’ve been an animal lover since I was a kid. Once my family got our first dog when I was 8 years old, we were inseparable. She was my partner in crime~ Now I have a cat of my own and he owns my heart! He’s pretty food motivated so I clicker trained him, and he knows about 10 tricks :D He also has some health issues so I’m familiar with giving cats medication. I recently graduated with my master’s from the UR and I’m still in the process of looking for a job. Which means my schedule is super flexible to hang out with your pet! I’m detail oriented, reliable, and respectful of your space and your pets~ I'm currently on the job hunt after finishing my master's degree so my schedule is very flexible to accommodate drop-ins in the morning or afternoon as well as the evening~ I'll do my best to adhere to your pet's normal routine and of course be respectful of their boundaries. I'll follow any instructions given and reach out if any further clarification is needed!

About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life and have taken care of friends pets while they are away! I love getting out and walking, having a dog friend makes it even better! I work part time/ make my own schedule so I have time to get out and walk your dog! Walking is part of my daily routine and I’m glad when a dog can join me!

South Wedge dog parents share their Rover experiences
David is an absolutely phenomenal dog sitter! He took amazing care of my boyfriend and I’s two huskies, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. My boyfriend especially gets so so so anxious about anybody watching them, and for him to be at peace 24/7 knowing David was there should say a lot. He was incredibly responsive and professional throughout the entire process. The numerous photos he sent gave me so much relief and reassurance, knowing my boys were in good hands and having a blast. I highly recommend David to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter! His wife was also extremely sweet and didn’t mind going on walks with our crazy boys and made the cutest art of them.

Hannah is fantastic with my energetic 1-year old Doberman. She is a great communicator and would recommend her without hesitation!

My Chihuahua absolutely loved Helen. She was incredibly kind, punctual, and loved animals. I felt super comfortable leaving Itachi and knowing my pup was in such caring hands. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable and loving walker!

Daniel was super great! Came to meet my dog prior and was always on time and sent lots of pics. I was super comfortable having him go to my home and walk my baby!!! Will 100% use Daniel again

Thank you for helping us out with a last minute change! We are so grateful for you and the care you give to Nacho!

Sarah was wonderful and patient with Quinn being nervous. I appreciate the detailed feedback and pictures.

Carla was fantastic, very friendly, and very communicative with us while we were away and she walked our dog for us. We would love to hire her again!

Diana let me know when she was on the way to take our dog on a walk and sent a picture of our girl during the walk! Thank you Diana. We look forward to using your services again.

As always Geoff was amazing with our fur kiddos. Wonderful to have this kind of peace of mind when we’re away. Highly recommend!!

Anika is phenomenal! Treated my very anxious pup with the same love and patience I would give him. Reliable and communicates well with me. My daughter enjoyed your company. I highly recommend and will be using her services again. Thank you so much Anika for making my first time away easy for me!
