“WOW. Reliable, professional, friendly, and skilled, Taylor is extraordinary! Taylor has been taking our dog Gracie on daily walks while we are at work and even incorporating leash training into her sessions. In just one week, Taylor has bonded with Gracie and worked with us to significantly to improve her leash manners. We are astonished! Taylor has also been exceptional in her communication, sending us daily updates with photos, which are so cute and appreciated. Most importantly, Taylor is extremely thoughtful and caring, which comes through in her interactions with us and Gracie. We would recommend Taylor without hesitation to anyone!”

“Courtney has been absolutely amazing with our dog Bia. She has accommodated last minute requests. Her communication is excellent during scheduling requests and walks. Most importantly Bia loves her! Highly recommend.”

About: I have a master's and bachelor's in animal science and plenty of experience with an array of different animal needs, demeanors, and personalities. Taking care of animals is truly what I love to do. Pet care is built into my routine through daily feeding, walks, playtime, and grooming, plus weekly cleaning and health checks. It provides structure to my day and keeps me active, mindful, and consistent. I care for pets by providing regular feeding, exercise, supervision, and enrichment. Although I don’t have a fenced yard, I use a designated area in my apartment where dogs can safely roam, play, and relax, along with scheduled walks and attentive care.
“I am so happy that I was introduced to Karissa through my regular Rover dog walker… she is amazing!!! It was instantly clear in our meet and greet that she loves fur babies of all kinds and would take great care of mine while I’m away. I am so appreciative of her extra effort and willingness to drive a very long distance (twice a day!) so my dog can enjoy his long walks/fetch sessions- most people would never do that. She is punctual, reliable, thorough, quick to answer messages, and very caring- my highest recommendation 💖.”

“Daniel did such a good job taking care of our 2 beagle mix babies. Both dogs took right to him, and dogs are the best judge of character. Daniel truly went above and beyond to provide the best care to our babies while we were away. We will be using Daniel for our future dog walking when my husband and I go out of town. We thank you so much Daniel.”
About: When I was a kid, I helped my grandfather on his horse farm and would take care of the barn cats. Since then, I have lived in a 3 cat household where two of the cats did not get along and created a schedule so they could both be happy. I can bathe a pet myself if needed, as I have done this for my cat Juniper. My grandparents have two smaller dogs Ginger and Cleo I have cared for for a few days. We have fun taking walks and exploring nature. For bigger dogs, when I was in high school, I would help with the neighbors' Bernese mountain dog Abby, and I have spent a lot of time with my aunt A's doodle Bruno. I have also spent time with medium size dogs, as my aunt B has two pitbull mixes, that are very affectionate and love the dog park. I know that all dogs have different needs and I try to met them. This means that with my uncle’s older pup we won’t do any jogging, but with my aunt’s younger doodle we will definitely jog a bit. I work in education and currently have my days free to spend with furry friends. This means I can be flexible when it comes to pet sitting and spending the night. I am a very friendly, clean, and organized person and I’ll make sure that if I am coming over to your home that food is served and any accidents are cleaned up. As long as you give me a list of what needs to happen for your furry friend, I’ll make sure it gets done. From crating your pup to tricking your pet to take their medication For pups, I will ensure they’ll get the amount of walks needed a day, as well as some outdoor playtime with whatever games they like to play. I will make sure that there is no poop left on our path and check to make sure there isn't anything concerning. Plus, I will feed them according to their schedule. For cats, I will ensure that they get two square meals a day and that their water is never empty. I will also pet and play with them as much as they desire because some cats are more recluse than others. I will also scoop out their litter box, and clean out the litter box if needed
“Christy did an awesome job with my senior dog! She was very patient with her and asked great questions at the meet and greet. I already rebooked Christy for next month.”

About: I’ve been pet sitting on and off since I was about 13 years old. Family, friends & neighbors would often ask me to stop by throughout the day or stay overnight with their dogs and/or cats while they were out of town. I grew up in an animal-loving family that always had dogs and/or cats, so I am very comfortable with their care and LOVE spending time with them. I work 3 nights a week. My schedule may vary from week to week, especially for overnight services, but it overall allows me to be very flexible on my days off. I keep my schedule up to date on Rover to accurately reflect my availability. I am currently unable to have other pets in my apartment due to lease restrictions, so care will have to occur at your home. If you tell me what to do with your pet or leave instructions, I will be sure to follow them and keep your pet happy and healthy :)

While I have been laid up post-surgery, Laura has been walking my two boys. She is amazing, both my dogs are challenging in their own way, but she has had no trouble getting them out to walk and brings them back happy and tired. I have booked her for a further week, and depending on how my healing proceeds, further dates as well. Thank you, Laura! Sammy is clearly calming down and gaining confidence; he did not even fuss at the physical therapist today!
