“Samantha is wonderful! She has a great calming presence which helps put my anxious dog at ease. My non-anxious dog took to her right away and they love seeing their walk friend :) Highly recommend Samantha as a reliable and trustworthy person.”


“Benjamin was great! He came for a thorough intro to get to know my pup before their first walk, and it was immediately apparent that he’s a dog lover. He was very responsive during the booking process and reliable during the week that we booked him for walks. We are looking forward to more walks in the future!!”


“Trent is absolutely wonderful. He made going away for a weekend without our two large dogs stress free. Trent gave us detailed messages about how each of their walks went, followed all of our guidelines and it was easy to tell our dogs trusted him and enjoyed his company. He handled our reactive 80lbs dog with grace and ease. We would recommend him to anybody! One of the most reliable and easy experiences we’ve had with someone else caring for our pups. 10/10 would recommend!”


“Amada is the best. Not only does she help us with walks on short notice, but she works on leash training and gives us long reports on how our girl is doing. We will be using her again and again!”

“Brianne has been great to work with and we use her services every week. I love that she provides a detailed report card and photos for each walk. She's very responsive and wonderful with my dog!”


“Our dog seems to really enjoy Jennette (and she him). Good timeliness and communication. We also appreciate that Jennette has noticed and brought inside packages on our front stoop.”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was in high school. I myself owned a dog for 11 years. Family friends and neighbors have always reached out to me about watching or walking their furry friend :) Currently, I am available weekdays from 10am to 6pm. I will be home during the day if your pet needs day walks or potty breaks. I currently can’t have your pet at my home, but I am respectful of people’s home and follow safety guidelines from owner. I double to check to lock doors before leaving homes either for a walk or just checking in on your pet.


“Alison was quick to respond to us needing a sitter next week and was kind enough to meet us for a walk to meet our dogs. They immediately loved her, she was on time and great to meet! We would definitely trust her to stay or walk with our dogs in the future.”


About: Hi, my name is Katarina and I have 2 years of experience caring for dogs. I know how important your pets are to you, I will try my best to provide reliable, loving care tailored to you and your dog’s needs. My deep love for animals—especially dogs—means your pet will be treated like family. I’m currently working at home so I will be able to be with your pet most time. I can also board on both weekends and weekdays! I have a fenced deck that your pets can play around safely. My neighborhood is very pet-friendly for dog walking and it is relatively quiet.

About: I’ve loved animals my whole life and grew up with a sweet senior dog. Though we now live far from family, I always look forward to visiting my fur nieces and nephews back home. I'm a dedicated animal lover who truly enjoys bonding with pets, making them feel safe, loved, and happy. I treat every pet like family and take pride in being gentle, patient, and attentive to their individual needs. Happy to meet and greet to see if we are a great fit! I work from home most days, which gives me a flexible schedule to provide attentive, timely care. I also have a car, so travel is easy! I know how much trust it takes to let someone care for your pet and enter your home. I’m respectful, reliable, and always prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort. Whether I’m stopping by for a visit or taking them on a walk, I make sure they feel secure, happy, and loved every time.

About: Think of me as your dog's new best friend (with treats). Whether it's taking your pup to the dog park for some zoomies, playing endless fetch, or giving extra belly rubs and cuddles - I've got it covered. From tiny puppies to gentle giants, I've spent time with dogs of all kinds and love getting to know their personalities and creating a tight bond. I'm super patient, great at reading dog moods, and always happy to go the extra mile to make your dog feel cared for. Plus, I'll keep you in the loop with plenty of cute pics and updates about your dog's latest adventures. I am currently on a hiatus from work, which means your dog gets my full attention, plus a flexible, open schedule. Since I'm not juggling a 9-5, I can stick closely to your pets routine or anything else they need throughout the day. My dog, Cha Cha, thrives on being sociaI and nothing makes him happier than being with other dogs. Cha Cha inspired me to become active on Rover as he does not have a brother or sister to play with often and I love the idea of him being able to befriend other dogs. We both can't wait to meet you and your pup! I live in an apartment complex that includes two fenced dog parks where dog's can socialize and play. My neighborhood offers plenty of areas to go for a short or long walk - whichever is best suitable for your pup.

About: I will care for your fur baby just as I do for my own. Occasionally, my adult son (Michael) will help out when not busy with his college studies. Our 3 pets (2 dogs and a cat) are part of our family and great team members. They bring us a lot of joy daily. I also have experience fostering pets and caring for rescues. The backyard is fenced and covered with grass, indoors we have toys and cozy spots for naps. Both the yard and the home get cleaned regularly to provide a clean and healthy environment for the guest pets and our family. Care is home based. Daycare hours are 7:30 am to 6 pm. I will provide your fur baby with outdoor and exercise time every 2-4 hours, fresh water and food. If there are any special dietary or medical needs, please provide instructions at the time of your booking. Dogs will get ample opportunities to run and play in a large, fenced yard. The yard is covered in lush, green grass during spring and summer.

About: As a pet caregiver, I provide more than just walks and feeding—I offer real attention, commitment, and love. My background in childcare has taught me to be patient, attentive, and empathetic—essential skills when caring for animals. Just like children, pets deserve to feel safe, loved, and respected. Whether it’s walks, in-home visits, or daytime companionship, my priority is to create a calm and trustworthy environment for your furry friend. You can trust me to care for them as if they were part of my own family. El cuidado de mascotas no es solo un servicio que ofrezco, es parte de mi rutina diaria y de quién soy. Siempre he estado rodeada de animales y, con el tiempo, he aprendido a entenderlos, respetarlos y quererlos como parte de la familia. Mi experiencia cuidando niños me ha enseñado a organizarme, a estar siempre atenta a los detalles y a crear entornos seguros y afectivos, cualidades que aplico también con cada mascota que cuido. Integrar el cuidado de animales en mi día a día es algo natural para mí. Ya sea visitando gatos durante sus días tranquilos en casa o saliendo a pasear con perros llenos de energía, cada momento forma parte de una rutina que disfruto con cariño y responsabilidad. Cuidarlos no interrumpe mi vida: la completa. Whether in my home or in that of my clients, the care I offer to each pet is guided by respect, responsibility and affection. In my house, the animals have a clean, quiet and safe space, where they can feel comfortable, relax and follow their routines normally. I make sure that they receive personalized attention, games, rest and adequate nutrition, always respecting their times and needs. When I take care of the client's home, I maintain the environment that the pet is used to, which reduces stress and helps them feel safer during your absence. I carefully follow all the indications you give me, and I maintain constant communication so that you know how your furry partner is at all times. In addition, I incorporate environmentally friendly practices: I use safe and ecological cleaning products, reduce unnecessary plastics and promote sustainable habits in daily care. My priority is that both you and your pet feel confident, knowing that you are in committed and conscious hands, where love for animals goes hand in hand with respect for the planet.

Devora F.
“Devora has been an excellent caregiver for my Bernese Mountain Dogs. They’re always excited to see her and love playing with her sweet dog, Cha Cha. She’s attentive, reliable, and consistently follows their feeding schedule and walking routine without any issues. Devora is also affectionate and allows them on the furniture, which they appreciate since they’re gentle giants who thrive on attention. While she enjoys spoiling them, she also respects the rules I’ve set to keep things consistent—especially important given their size. I’m very happy with the care she provides and would confidently recommend her as a dog sitter anytime.”

Claudia O.
“Claudia has been a real gift for me and Max, my dog. For several months, I came home four times a week to walk him, feed him and spend time with him while I worked. Max adores her - he literally jumps with excitement every time he sees her coming. In addition, on some occasions that I had to go out at night or during the weekend, Claudia took care of him in her own house, and he always came back happy and calm. I love how responsible he is, how he respects Max's routines and, above all, the genuine affection he has for him. Knowing that he is with her gives me total peace of mind.”
