“Ruben was on time and immediately interacted with Rico. Rico gravitated towards him and was excited to meet him. Ruben was personable and asked helpful questions to ensure a positive walk with Rico. Upon their return, it was clear Rico had a fun and exciting walk. I would definitely continue to use Ruben for regular walks with Rico!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for most of my life. Animals have always been a part of my family. I have been fostering a cat for a friend for a few months, and have taken care of a friends 3 massive dogs. Taken them on walks, fed them, and played with them. I am currently in school full-time online only and my children are in school from 7:30-4:30pm Monday through Friday. I am available to care for pets and go on walks. I have a yard and a decent sized apartment, one room that is not used at all. I also have a reliable vehicle for transportation.
About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 9 years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all shapes and sizes. I’ve raised my sweet Lab/Pit mix since she was just 6 weeks old, and I’ve helped care for many family pets—from energetic Chihuahuas and Dachshunds to strong, independent Huskies. I also share my home with a large, lovable yellow cat who’s been with me for the last 5 years. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. Whether I’m stopping in to check on your furry friend or taking them out for a walk, you can count on me to treat them like one of my own—with love, patience, and plenty of belly rubs (if they’re into that). Looking forward to meeting your pet soon! I am currently enrolled in grad school for social work. For this I am working a part time (unpaid) internship leaving me to find other ways of income until I graduate. I am very flexible but love consistency when it comes to responsibilities. I treat every home with the same care and respect I expect in my own. I’m mindful of your space, follow any specific instructions you provide, and ensure everything is left just as I found it. Your home and your pet’s comfort are my top priorities.
“Kerri is really great. She genuinely seems as excited to see my pup and he is to see her! She send great pictures and videos of their walks and he comes back happy and well exercised! She is also very reliable and timely.”
About: I have worked with dogs, cats, rodents, reptiles, and much more. I have cared for cats and dogs for years, and I am a former Approved Veterinary Assistant (AVA) currently in the process of renewing my designation. I am available: Pet sitting - Saturday evening, Sunday and Monday (all day) Pet walking/Drop-In Visit: -Sunday and Monday (all day) -Tuesday thru Saturday 4:30pm - 9pm I am comfortable giving dogs/cats medications. My dog Foxy has anxiety, so she receives oral medication and a prescription diet (for her sensitive stomach), and I also have experience administering medications to dogs/cats in the vet clinic.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs from many different breeds! I often will dog sit my neighbors, friends, and families dogs while they are on vacation. My work schedule is very flexible and I work three days a week so I am available for potty breaks/ dog walking every 2-4 hours. There’s also plenty of time for play! I do not have a fenced in yard but I do have a yard with a runner for pups to play! I have two male pembroke welsh corgis that love to play!
“We love Kaitlyn! We adopted our dog a few months ago, so he can still be wary of strangers, but not with Kaitlyn. She has been able to fill in for our usual dog walker several times and she always takes great care of our boy. It's always a huge relief when she's available.”
“Kiari was lovely! She was available last minute, professional, and a dog lover! My pup was well taken care of and got great walks while we were gone. We would recommend her to others!”
“Paul has been walking our dog Bailey a few days a week for the last few months! He has always been responsive during his walks and has great availability which is nice for my inconsistent schedule. Bailey also can be a bit tough to handle on walks when she tries to chase cars and he is able to handle her jumping well. Thank you Paul!”
“Our dog is a handful and Gabriela has done such an amazing job with him. She is incredibly patient and goes over the top to make sure Bruno is able to get all of his energy (and he has a LOT of it) out during their mid-day walks. She has even stayed over their allotted time if he needs a little extra time to get settled back in after their walk, giving him lots of water and treats to hold him over until we get home. So happy we found Gabriela!”
“Danielle is a wonderful dog sitter! She took such good care of my babies and kept in contact with us during her stay. Our dogs and cats absolutely LOVE her! I highly recommend Danielle for all of your pet sitting needs.”
“Claire did a great job giving our pup exercise while I was away! She was also very responsive to our messages through out the process. I recommend booking with Claire for a great Rover experience.”
About: For the past 6 years I have had the joy of being a parent to a rescue chihuahua mix who was born with multiple neurological and physical conditions. Being his parent has afforded me the opportunity to learn more about dog behavior and how to better ensure their comfort, happiness and safety. I have become versed in recognizing signs of stress in pets and know how to employ techniques like consent-based petting. I currently work full-time (9-5, M-F) as an analytical chemist, thankfully this leaves my evenings and weekends free to give my undivided attention to your pets! I am a very trustworthy individual with a great respect for others’ property and boundaries. I am often ridiculed by those around me for my proclivity to being rules-oriented. I would do anything to ensure your pets’ safety as if they were my own.
About: I have taken care of my sisters Boxer and house anytime she took a vacation. I was the first person she would call on. I took care of my own English bulldog from 2 weeks old up until the day she passed. We were together every day and I took care of her like a child. I am currently working part time so I have plenty of time to play with your pup. I am available 7 days a week after 1pm. I have my own place and can keep your fur baby crated here if need be. I have plenty of treats and toys to keep them having fun.
About: Hello! My name is Clara and I adore dogs. I grew up with 2 rambunctious boxers and was heavily involved in their puppy training and continued care. I now have the sweetest, little beagle mix of my own who is a gentle senior. She loves spending time with other dogs and so this is no barrier to accepting other dogs into my apartment! I am a medical student and also have abundant experience as a medical assistant and home health aid. Caring for others - whether dogs or humans - is my biggest passion and skill. I hope you give me the joy of caring for your dog! I’m a medical student so in general, drop in visits and walks work best for me on the weekends or at nighttime! However, I do have an ever changing schedule so please inquire for more information. I can easily crate your dog if needed, but am also happy to let them roam free if that is their preference. Your dog will always be leashed when I take them outside my apartment for walks. I love to take dogs out frequently (every 0-2 hours), so they get lots of outdoors time and stimulation! I also love playing games like tug of war. I truly have a very flexible schedule and can adapt to what your pet needs!

Tom truly puts animals' safety and well-being above all else, and I would trust him with any pet, knowing they would be in the most loving and capable hands.”
