“Emily was quick to respond when I was needing someone to take care of my dogs with very short notice. Throughout the process she has been very communicative, reliable, and my dogs were well taken care of.”
“All of us love having Kat walk our dog. She is usually hesitant to go with someone she doesn’t know, but took to Kat immediately and loves going for a walk with her. I would absolutely recommend Kat!”
About: I’ve had at least 1 pet my entire life, so I’m no stranger to caring for pets in my home. Beginning in middle school and until now, I’ve been entrusted by family, friends, and coworkers to take care of their pets while they’re away. I have experience with house visits, walking or dog park trips, and overnight care. While I don’t have direct experience with pets who require medical attention, I’d be happy to learn with you. I do have experience with senior pet care. Overall, I guarantee I’ll take care of your pet like my own! I recently graduated from PA school and am job searching currently, so I have plenty of time to play with your pets! I’m available for daytime care or overnight care daily. When looking after your pet, I will always take care of them like my own. I’m happy to play with them in the yard, take them on walks or to the park, lounge with them on the couch on a rainy day, or crate them if needed. I can stick to strict meal or medication times and will ensure they have potty breaks with appropriate clean up.
“Thank you for taking Cody on a much needed walk today! He has so much energy so it’s always helpful when he can get an extra walk in and it was helpful to have such a patient person like you. Thanks again!”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats since I was a child always responsible for feeding, grooming, and walking. I love pets and would dog sit for my family and friends. I adopted my own cat my first year of grad school and have never looked back Im currently working part time as I apply for jobs after graduating medical school! I’ll have plenty of time to care for your pets and provide excellent care! I have a spacious 2 bedroom condo in a safe neighborhood for walks. I have a bedroom to setup the pets home base to make them feel comfortable
About: Growing up we had three dogs and they all lived very long lives and unfortunately passed within the span of a few months. We rescued two beautiful cocker spaniels Charlie and Minx to go along with our family dog Maya who was coincidentally a cocker spaniel. My job in the family was always to take care of the cats, dogs, and rabbits. I loved taking care of animals and my favorite activity was going for walks with the dogs. I currently am enrolled at MATC and am in the radiography program. I have a long break before registration for the Radiography petition window is open and would love to spend my extra free time taking care of pets. I also set my availability as available for all days of the week to accommodate last minute appointments. From our cat Moo to my leopard gecko Richard all of the animals in my house are pampered daily. I would treat each clients animal the same way that I treat mine. All animals are treasures and we as humans are honestly blessed to get to take care of them. All animals have different personalities and I believe that each one requires different kinds of care. Some animals loved to be touched and held whereas some are hesitant at first or it may make them anxious. Being able to respect and discern these traits early on will help make the animal feel more relaxed and trust you.
About: I love spending time with dogs and have an easy time getting along with different varieties of dog and dog personality. I'm happy being active with your pup and getting in some good walking or fetching time, or just chilling out and scratching behind the ears if so desired. I'm glad to serenade your pet as well, I love a captive audience! Simply let me know what you want for your dog while you're out of the house and I'll provide it. I am glad to cater to your desired approach of dog ownership, strict or relaxed, as long as it does not include physical punishment. Regarding the time slots listed - I might have a hard time making the earliest of the first shift but I should be able to manage 8 AM, and I could gladly go as late as 5 or maybe 6 PM, but wouldn't care to go as late as 10.
About: What sets me apart is the level of love, patience, and attention I give to every pet in my care. Whether it’s a bouncy puppy learning the ropes or a sweet senior needing extra support, I tailor my care to fit each pet’s unique needs. I have experience with basic puppy training, including leash manners, crate comfort, and potty routines. I’m also confident caring for senior dogs—administering medication, helping with mobility, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Your pet won’t just get a sitter—they’ll get a new friend who truly cares, communicates well, and treats them like family. As a student with a very flexible school schedule, I’m able to plan my days around pet care pretty easily—as long as I have a little notice, I can make it work! I love spending time with animals, whether it's getting outside for a good walk or just hanging out at home. On weekends, you can usually find me curled up with a furry friend or two—it’s honestly my favorite way to relax. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in yours, safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I make sure pets feel secure, loved, and right at home—whether that means sticking to their usual routine, keeping their environment calm, or giving them extra one-on-one attention. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and follow all instructions carefully—from feeding schedules to walk times and any special quirks your pet may have. In my home, I keep things clean, cozy, and pet-friendly, with lots of snuggle spots and safe spaces to relax. Building trust with both pets and their people is important to me, and I always aim to communicate clearly and keep you updated so you feel at ease while you're away.

About: I’ve cared and loved for dogs since I was probably 8 (if not younger). If your dog needs a buddy to run around with, play, snuggle, or just needs someone around to watch them if they’re a little naughty, I got you covered. I’ve cared for puppies, elderly dogs, well behaved and not so well behaved pets. I have provided oral medication as well as maintaining hygiene with baths. I understand every dog has a different daily routine, and i’m happy to make sure your dog is as comfortable and happy as possible. I work at Target, mainly closing shifts but an occasional morning (willing to share more in depth schedule if you have questions, just ask!) I always have off on Wednesdays and usually another day of the week. If you need long term care, let me know 3+ weeks in advance and I can happily assist! I am available most mornings. However, I have a pretty much open availability for cats needing to stay at my apartment for an any period of time. Again, if you have any questions about certain days just ask! At my home, I have 2 cats and tons of toy options to choose from. I unfortunately cannot hold dogs in my apartment, I would love to, however I live in a smaller apartment with not much yard space and that just feels unfair to the dog. At your home, I will do the best I can to follow your pets daily routine unless given other instructions.
About: ## INTRODUCTION Howdy there, thanks for choosing my Rover! I go by Billy! First things first — My highest priority is the safety and well-being of any dog in my care. Outside of that, I'm also big on making sure they have a blast, are loved, and feel secure in my home. I am energetic and warm, yet firm. I've owned and raised 4 dogs over the course of 18 years, from puppydom to old age, and have cared for many more. I am adept at handling dogs large and small - physically and training-wise. ## SCHEDULE I am fortunate to have a highly flexible schedule. Your dog will always be safe by my side. I’m quite fond of dogs, so it’s a joy for me to spend my time in this way. ## APPROACH TO CARE I want to understand the needs and expected behaviors of any pet in my care, given your specific guidance and instructions. I am highly communicative and err on the side of caution, as your doggo’s safety and well-being are absolutely the highest priority for me. I have a highly flexible schedule since I'm in the middle of a job search, so I'll have all the time in the world to hang, play with, and co-work with your pup! I have the entire upper floor of my house available for your dog to lounge and roam in, equipped with multiple dog beds and lots of toys. There's also a fenced yard in the back whose concretedness is optimal for ball bouncing and catching, keep away, chasing, and more!
About: I've raised animals for most of my life (mine and others). My friends and clients like my soothing and happy presence. I can't wait to be your pets' 2nd best friend! As a writer and young professional, I'm currently working a part-time, but flexible job. I have (almost) open availability so I can prioritize your pet(s) the way you would! Clients will often choose me because I am attentive to watering any plants as needed and love to tidy up in my spare time in addition to taking care of their furry friends!
“I felt really comfortable with Erica walking my dog a couple times today while I had a long day at work. She was on time for both walks, and was very mindful of my dog’s needs. She also kept in contact with me all day which helped me relax a little and I felt like my dog was in good hands!”
About: I grew up with a cocker spaniel named Tiffany. I had a cat for 18.5 years who I had since the day he was born. I adopted a dog during the 2020 stay at home orders, he is now 4 years old. I have been able to work from home permanently since 2021 and that has given me the opportunity to be home all day with my boy. I have been pet sitting on rover for the past year and love caring for all your babies. I work from home so I can be home with your pet all day. I am home most evenings during the week. My weekends will have a more varied schedule but I am more than willing to work with you to meet the needs of your pet. I typically walk my own dog twice a day and am willing to provide whatever amount of exercise your pet needs. I have a fully fenced in yard where your dog is allowed to explore and play. I have a security camera I typically watch when the dogs are in the yard. I'm happy to provide whatever activity your pet needs including walks, fetch, or dog parks (if allowed).
About: I have had dogs all of my life. Some of which loved to walk and play, others liked to cuddle on the coach. I always make sure they live their happiest life! I work from home full-time, so my dog and I are two peas in a pod. We go on regular walks whenever I have down time and she always has whatever she needs. I take my dog on 3 regular walks a day. I have a bathroom area outside for dogs as well. I always make sure they have food and water and will offer to play regularly.
“SO glad we found/met Lauren (& Alyssa). They’re absolutely wonderful with our very old, wobbly pup & super-responsive with communication. Will definitely be re-booking (over and over) again!”

“Enrique was absolutely incredible. He boarded my cats at his place for an extended stay, and they felt instantly so comfortable with him! He gave great updates with pictures and videos, was easy to reach, flexible, and asked great questions. I know my kitties got so much love and attention with Enrique, they looked like they had a blast! Enrique also stayed at my apartment before to watch my pets. He left everything as he found it - in fact, even cleaner! He always made sure to bring in the mail/packages/etc. I will be sure to reach out to him in the future with any pet/house care needs as I trust him completely! So easy to work with, friendly, professional, and respectful. 10/10 recommend.”

Bjorn S.
“While not a dog owner, I had a cat that was very much a dog and couldn't handle more than a day or two left at home alone if I were to go out of town. Bjorn was always my go to person to have come and watch my cat when I was away because as an animal lover and good friend, he knew how much the cat meant to me, got along with him just as well as I did, and enjoyed spending time with him. Last spring, my cat grew increasingly sick and the vets had assured me that there wasn't a whole lot of time left. In the cat's very last week, I was extremely conflicted because I had plans out of town from months in advance that I couldn't change. I was pretty panicked, knowing that anything could happen while I was away and didn't want to leave that responsibility on someone else, should anything come up. Bjorn, as always was up to it, helped comfort him all the while until I returned home, ultimately having to let go and say goodbye, days later. It really meant a lot and I'll always be grateful for that. He's very good with animals of all sorts and would be an excellent caregiver. Can't recommend him enough.”

William L.
“William is a dream canine caretaker. I had never left my boy Phil for an overnight before and needed someone to watch him over a holiday weekend. Phil is a sweet boy, but needs some reassurance with separation. William was able to help Phil feel safe and comfortable being away for his first sleepover. He made sure Phil had lots of playtime, walks, and snuggles. William was in frequent contact to make sure I, too, was comfortable being away from Phil. When I picked him up, Phil was happy and at ease.”
Mara G.

Tanner O.
“My boyfriend is truly a natural with dogs — especially our 9-year-old pup, who adores him! They’re absolutely best friends. He’s incredibly patient, kind, and always attentive to her needs, whether it’s giving her extra snuggles, taking her on long walks, or just sitting beside her when she’s having a slow day. I’ve seen firsthand how much he genuinely cares about animals. Any dog would be lucky to spend time with him, and any pet parent can feel at ease knowing their fur baby is in such loving, capable hands!”

Story Hill dog parents share their Rover experiences
We recently moved to the area and needed to find a dog walker for our two dogs. I reached out to Bella, did a meet and greet, and then she walked them three days this week. She is FANTASTIC! Excellent communication, and she provides several pictures. It's clear she loves dogs and I love that. She was also very understanding when we had to cancel the fourth day due to my husband staying home because he was sick. We will definitely be booking with her again!
Alexandra is the best!! She’s been coming to walk and play with my two pups weekly for a few months now. Besides my babies having a great time with her, she has great communication with me, and she really enjoys teaching them new things. She helped give medication and walking my girl pup with a sling after she had a TPLO knee surgery. I am very thankful for Alexandra.
Genevieve was absolutely amazing with my dog (Malibu)! Malibu was shaking & scared from a stranger, but by the second visit Genevieve gained her trust and was able to take her outside. Genevieve was so sweet and patient with Malibu. She also communicated her progress each day with us to let us know how it went.
Bella did great with my high energy dog! She was careful to learn my dog's routine and special instructions, and gave me detailed updates after every walk. It's clear that Bella adores dogs and is very experienced, which helped to ease my dog parent anxiety. I'll gladly book with Bella again.
