“Kyra has been the best walker for our dog! She’s always prompt and on time, communicates well, and leaves our dog nice and tired after her walks. I appreciate you Kyra! Highly recommend.”

“Sarah is truly great! Upon meeting her, the dog instantly took a liking to her (and the cat did not take off under the bed). She quickly jumped in and has been a blessing as she comes in and gives the dog a potty break and a chance to stretch her legs/burn off some energy. My puppy is a giant breed so her playful mess can be "a lot." Her photos of their walk and the time she takes to love on the cat are a bright spot in my work day. And best of all, I don't worry about my girls while I'm away.”


About: Since I’ve had a lab from puppy to sending him off puppy heaven 😭 I am well experienced with taking care of any dog in all stages of life. Now I help with friends and family’s puppies when needed. I am currently working remotely, so my schedule is flexible and I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pup! As an active person, walks are always more enjoyable with a companion. Understanding every dog is handled differently, I can accommodate to what your routine is! Please don’t hesitate to let me know what your pup's feeding schedule, potty habits, or any specific rules you follow at home are so I can keep their day as normal as possible.
“Alexis was amazing!!!! She gave such great updates and took amazing photos. Kept me well informed of her and my dogs whereabouts. Would 100% use Alexis and again and recommend her! She gave me such a peace of mind of one of my very long work days! Thank you again Alexis for loving my dogs the way I do!!”

“Denise was amazing! She was able to accommodate a last-minute request on a holiday weekend to check in on my dog while I was out of town and take her on walks. She quickly set up a meet and greet beforehand so she could meet my dog, learn exactly what was needed, and get familiar with the routine. She communicated with me throughout my trip by sending photos and updates to let me know how everything was going. She even alerted me after noticing that someone else (besides her) might’ve been in my home between walks, which I REALLY appreciated. My dog clearly adored her and responded very well to her care. I’d trust Denise with her again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!”

About: My family has worked with rescue groups since I was little, so taking care of dogs and cats is second-nature to me! Neighbors and friends have relied on me to walk, feed, and care for their pets for years and I have two of my own dogs that are my fur-babies and get only the best love and attention. I will treat your pets as I would treat my own! I am home full-time and my husband works from home, so there will always be someone here with the dogs. I'm available for boarding on weekends and weekdays as needed. I can check on your pets at your house and take them on regular walks. I have a fenced yard and doggy door for easy access to the backyard, if your pet can't decide on in or out. I have two friendly dogs to play with and can crate your pet if they would be more comfortable in their own space.
About: I’m new to this app, but not new to caring for animals. I’ve regularly pet sat, walked, and played with pets for multiple clients and I’ve also gained hands-on experience working at an animal shelter. I have experience with energetic puppies as well as large breed and reactive dogs. Back home, I have a Pitbull and a Belgian Malinois, so I’m very comfortable with strong, intelligent, high energy breeds and the structure and attention they thrive on. However I also have experience with small dogs that love to give cuddles and chill. I am an adaptive caregiver. My availability is fairly open and flexible as I work from home and currently in between jobs. Normally I wake up early to take the dogs for a morning walk and do 1-2 potty breaks during the day then finally an evening walk after dinner. I currently live in an apartment and have multiple grassy areas around. I am also very close to walking trails that I myself frequent. I am flexible and will follow any rules or recommendations you have to make your pet feel safe and at home around me.
About: I worked at the SPCA for 3 years when I was younger, taking care of shelter dogs. In high school, I wanted to be a vet and had lots of vet training classes. I also interned at a vet clinic my last year of high school. I have changed my career path since then, but I still love working with animals and they are an integrated part of my life. My mom recently got a puppy and I’ve been having a fun time dog training🦮❤️❤️ I’m currently a full time student at college and I’ve been needing a new job. I know it’s easy for me to care for animals so I will just fit that into any free time I have. I will care for your pet in your home. It really depends on what your wanting and the specific needs of the particular animal. I will use my past knowledge and your instruction to care for your animal. Feeding, playing, walking or just hanging out and giving your pet some company:)

About: I’m patient, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s unique personality and routine. I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. 💕 I work from home, so I’m home most of the day and have a flexible schedule to give pets plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and care throughout the day. I treat every pet like family and follow their routine closely. I live in a dog friendly neighborhood with a newly renovated dog park, perfect for walks, playtime, and plenty of fun!
About: What sets me apart is my deep love and dedication to dogs of all ages! With 5 years of experience, I’ve gained a lot of hands-on knowledge in caring for dogs, from playful puppies to wise seniors. I’m not just about feeding and walking—I'm all about making dogs feel at home, comfortable, and happy. I’ve also got a knack for puppy training, whether it’s basic obedience or fun tricks, and I’m experienced in senior dog care, making sure they get the extra love and attention they deserve. Your pup will feel like they’re on a mini vacation with me! Working remotely gives me the flexibility to integrate pet care seamlessly into my daily routine. I can provide consistent attention, whether it's frequent potty breaks, playtime, or just giving cuddles during work breaks. My schedule allows me to be present for walks, meals, and even some training sessions, ensuring your pet gets all the care they need without being rushed. Plus, with no office to go to, your dog has me all day to make them feel safe, loved, and entertained. For drop-ins and walks, I focus on providing personalized care in your pet's own home, ensuring they feel comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. During drop-ins, I check in on your pet, provide food, fresh water, playtime, and any necessary potty breaks. If I’m walking your dog, I make sure to keep it fun, safe, and suited to their energy level—whether it's a brisk walk or a leisurely stroll. I always prioritize your pet’s routine, safety, and happiness, making sure they feel well cared for even when you're not around.

About: If you knew me you would quickly learn how much I love dogs and care for their well being. I currently have a 10 year old English Bulldog who I care for and love so much. With an English bulldog I have been able to learn a lot about medical needs, medications and how to care for dogs specific conditions. I also volunteer with the Lone Star Bulldog Rescue to raise money for bulldogs in serious medical conditions and to find them safe home. Your dog will be in good hands! Feed and walk-in morning, feed and walk in evening, potty before bedtime and play time in between! Your dog will get much attention and I will send your photos daily!

About: I have taken care of animals since I was younger. I have 10+ years of experience when it comes to dog sitting and house sitting. I always make sure to accompany the pet as often as possible so that they feel cared for and less anxious being away from their owner. I aim to provide the best service and care for pets. I am able to care for your pets or stay overnight any day of the week. My girlfriend who is also verified on Rover helps me with my dog sitting jobs. Thank you! In a client’s home, I can feed, walk, and entertain your pet as needed.

Angelica is absolutely amazing! This wasn’t my first time booking with her, and she has been wonderful every time. She came to check on Oakley right after she had a small procedure and stayed with her to make sure she was comfortable, which meant so much to me. She also came through for me on a last-minute request without hesitation. She’s so sweet, reliable, and truly cares. I always feel at ease knowing Oakley is with her. I highly recommend her!

Alexis is so sweet and really takes time and care with your animals. She is very detailed and always provides great updates. Knowing that my dog is well looked after when i'm not home gives me peace of mind. I love having Alexis as my dog walker and my dog loves her too!
