“Lindsay was very prompt in communicating the entire time from booking to picking up my pup and going for walks while I was out of town. She sent pictures and went above and beyond to give my pup longer walks. I highly recommend her and I will definitely be asking her to walk my pup again in future.”
“Earnest was here on time, greeted Wookie and charmed him. The walk was documented, as were bathroom behaviors, and a picture of happy Wookie was sent. Earnest said he might wear sneakers next time as Wookie wanted to go fast. This person will be called upon again.”
About: My favorite pastime is walking with the dogs. In your neighborhood or in mine, we can go fast or we go slow, just as long as we go! No day is complete without some wags and walks. Does your fur baby need a special day or time for a walk? We can go on a morning run, afternoon walk, or an evening stroll. I do sleepovers! Does your pup want to stay at your place or mine? Either is fine. I have extra room on my couch and a comfy bed for your fur baby to lay their head.

I have a large fenced in yard with plenty of room for your animals to get their energy out! We also have a 5 year old friendly fur baby to keep your animals company.

About: Ever since I was little, I’ve adored and respected all animals no matter how big or how little!

About: I love owning and caring for animals! I've owned quite a few animals in my lifetime and have cared for animals with varying personalities, ages, and medical requirements. I have a lot of experience with very large dogs including a 150 lb Labrador and German Shepherds, but I have cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds! I do NOT discriminate with any breed including Pit Bulls and Rottweilers. I will take animals that may have aggressive tendencies but none with a history of physical attacks. My biggest concern is making sure your animal is as comfortable and happy as can be while you are away! I am open to check-ins; Having an animal is like having a child so whenever you want to check in on your buddy, don't be afraid to call. I have open availability right now. When your animal is under my care they will be with me 24/7 meaning frequent walks and bathroom breaks, trips to the park, and any activities your pet enjoys to do with you! Right now I have open availability so whether it’s in the morning or evening just a check in or an overnight stay, I can accommodate! It’s important for me to make sure your pet his giving the attention and love he needs while you’re away! I will always make sure they have plenty of potty breaks and play time! Or snuggles and relaxing, whatever you and your pet prefer.
“Angela has been very patient with me trying to learn how to use Rover. She's done an excellent job with my little Yoshi. He can be a bit of a wild card out on walks and she has handled him very well and he enjoys his walks very much.”
About: Hi there. My name is Elisha. I am recently retired and looking to fill my days with love from your fur baby! I live with my husband and our 2 year old terrier mix, Jack (featured in my photo). We rescued him at the beginning of this year, but have had dogs for the last 15 years. We live in a condo located in a quiet neighborhood. We don't have a fenced in yard, but there is lots of space to run around and it's a very dog friendly neighborhood. I am available for pet sitting, pet boarding, doggy daycare or dog walks. My dog Jack is very friendly and loves to play. One of our favorite weekend activities is meeting new friends at the dog park. Hope to meet your favorite family member soon!
About: I have lived with dogs and cats my entire life, along with some other pets when I was younger. I take pride in what I do and always strive to do my best to make any pet and their owners happy! :) I have done many sits through another app called Trusted Housesitters, where I have taken care of dogs, cats, chickens, horses, house plants, trees, and a pig! I work remotely full-time, and I have a flexible schedule. Therefore, I should have more than enough time to take care of your pet(s) and home while you are away. I will make sure to follow all of the owner's requests and suggestions when I am taking care of their pets. During home stays, I make sure to be present throughout the day, so the pets don't get lonely or get into anything they shouldn't. And for walks and drop-ins, I wanna make sure every pet is shown proper care and attention. I also am more than happy to communicate and share photos as often as the owner wishes!
“Karen was amazing with Charlie!! We went away to Europe and left Charlie with my mom, but because my mom could not walk him we used Rover and connected with Karen after interviewing multiple people. Karen walked Charlie from my mom house and sent multiple photos and with detail information about his walk. My said she was very punctual and professional and every time she pulled up to the house, Charlie was excited for his walks and really like Karen. She made our vacation very easy knowing he was in good hands.”
