“My dog isn’t the easiest to get out the first try because he is so scared with new people. Daniel got him out and stuck with it which I’m so thankful! I’ll continue to ask for his help when I need it.”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Kristen was amazing with Sterling! She was kind, communicative, and totally in tune with his quirks. I loved getting photo updates, and it was clear she treated him like her own. He came back happy and relaxed. I’d book her again in a heartbeat!”

“Winter and I love Elizabeth! She is amazing and makes me feel better knowing my little guy is walked while I am taking care of patients at the hospital! Your pet is in good hands!”
About: I've loved animals and had a childhood dog, Chubby (a suspected spitz mix). But as a grad student who can't stay in the same place forever, I don't have the stability to have my own dog these days. I would love to help others take care of their babies! I am very patient and love taking walks. During the summer, I'll be working part time teaching Korean in the middle of the day. I am available in the early morning, late afternoon, and evenings Mondays through Thursday, and all day most Fridays and weekends. I am very mindful of pet safety--my cat is indoors only and he's never escaped or gotten lost (except for a 30-second adventure when he was a kitten), and I'm very patient with dogs on leashes and won't let them pull or run off.
“Melesia is THE BEST!!! She’s so great with my dog chase, takes him for great walks in the allotted amount of time,makes sure he has fresh water and even leave music on!! She’s constantly in contact and takes amazing pictures! She’s the Only walker I’ll use! Even last minute requests she always done her best to help! So grateful to have her! ❤️”
“Yasmine is great! She’s very communicative and is quick with responses. She’s great with dogs who can be reactive (like mine) and knows how to handle any situation. I highly recommend her to take care of any pup :)”
“Taylor was awesome! She was very considerate about the hot weather and took my dog out for a later walk if the pavement was too hot. She also left notes about if he peed or pooped so I knew he was on a normal potty cycle. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone!”
About: I can cover basic commands, housebreaking, and socialization, ensuring a solid foundation for their future behavior. I am comfortable with pets that require special medical attention.

Freely Space Happily Looking to give the pet a comfortable area and the owner a trustworthy employer who’s best interest is in the pet while they are away.
About: I had rescued a litter of kittens when they were only a few days old! I found them in a box and decided to care for them until they were eight weeks old. I fed them formula from their bottles, bathed them, potty trained them, and played with them for hours! I even kept one of the kittens, and named him Salem! I’ve seen it all when it comes to cats, considering I’ve technically raised one! I’m used to shy cats, lovey cats, and even the ones that are more aggressive and don’t want you around haha! I also used to foster dogs as well. I’ve had small to large dogs and even had some dogs that were deaf, blind, scared of people, or had health problems. I love to care for animals and make them feel loved and special. After all, they deserve it! I’m a Stay At Home mom! My schedule is wide open and I’m available for all hours (besides early early morning). I’m available Monday-Friday as well! I understand that your home is your sanctuary, mine is too!

About: I have watched and cared for my neighbors' dogs, cats and other small pets since I was 16. Petsitting is my favorite and most rewarding job. I have taken care of senior dogs as well as young puppies. I have also taken care of senior cats and kittens. My favorite thing to do while dog sitting is go to the dog park. I am currently in college full time and living off campus. On Saturdays and Sundays I don't have class so your furbaby would get my full attention on weekends. All days besides Wednesday I have only one class, so they wouldn't be left alone for more than 3 hours. In my apartment I live with two pet friendly roommates, so your pet would get lots of human attention. My apartment has 4 bedrooms, a large main living area and large balcony so there is lots of space for zoomies/indoor play. I live on the second floor so there is stairs and an elevator. If you wish to have your pet crated when left alone I can do that.
About: Your pet is a member of your family, and you want to leave them in the best possible place when you're away. I provide excellent pet care in my home or yours, wherever your pet would be most comfortable. I have been lucky enough to spend time with a lot of breeds of dogs: from little dogs like pugs and Yorkie terriers to a 175 lb. English Mastiff that was the love of my life. At this time there’s a 180 gallon fish take in my home, I feed the fish and turtles and do light tank maintenance. I’ve also taken care of a friend’s pet rats! I'm the go to pet sitter for my friends and family. I work part time, so I am available to look after your pets while you are at work or out of town. I want to make your pet’s time away from you as comfortable and happy as possible, let me know what they like! I'm here for your pets! I'm currently working part time Monday- Friday in the mornings. I'm available early morning and anytime after noon. My schedule is open when I'm not working so I can do early morning walks and drop-ins before work and then be available for your pet after noon. I'm also available most weekends. I understand the importance of having a pet sitter you can trust to come in to your home and care for your pets. That is what I do! You can let me know what your pet needs are I will take care of them. You can trust in me to be reliable and honest!
About: I have cared for my elderly dog for 8 years and I absolutely love all animals! I also have job experience caring for children, making me a responsible and trustworthy sitter. Over summer, I am mostly free all week. During school time (beginning the end of August), I will be available part-time around classes Monday-Thursday and will be free Friday- Sunday. I will make sure your pets remain safe and comfortable while you’re away. While sticking close to their routine, I will respect your space and keep everything tidy.

I currently don’t have any work commitments so I have all my time whether it was day or night to pet sitting as i enjoy spending time with animals. I live in an apartment condo with a lot of park barks and spaces around for dogs, as well as pet toys and blankets for your animals to enjoy.

Jayla F.
“Jayla began walking dogs and caring for other pets including cats, rabbits, rats, snakes, iguanas and canaries 8 years ago as a high school student. Jayla is very precise, caring and timely. Jayla is good at maintaining control of energetic dogs and cats. She also is able to give animals medication.

Heba H.
“Whether it's for playtime or overnight stays, my dogs are always excited to see her. I'm grateful to have found such a reliable, trustworthy and kind home and pet sitter 🙂 Savanna and her team are dependable and always go the extra mile to ensure the pets are well cared for and loved when we are out of town.””
Amiyah-Angel M.
“Amiyah-Angel was extremely reliable, professional, and communicative and took excellent care of my dog on daily walks on these hot summer days!”
Annabella M.
“Annabella is by far one of the most trustworthy people who has ever pet sat for me and my family. I have 3 Italian mastiff's (Cane Corso). They are my friendly giants but most people are intimidated when they see them. They each weigh 120+ lbs each and they come up to the heights of my hip. For reference I'm 5'8. But she took impeccable care of them. She followed all of the instructions Ieft with her and all parties seemed more than happy. Since her first time she's come back approximately 5 more times to watch while on vacation. My family, including the dogs, love having her around and we all look forward to her presence. I find comfort knowing my dogs will be safe with her.”
University Heights dog parents share their Rover experiences
Alexandria truly came through for me in a pinch, stepping up last minute with professionalism, grace, and genuine care. From the moment she arrived on time and asked all the right questions, I knew my dog was in good hands. Most importantly, my dog immediately connected with her — something you just can’t fake — and that trust put me at ease right away. Though she had a full plate, she even rearranged her schedule and enlisted her boyfriend to assist with walks, simply to help me out. She’s not only reliable and respectful of instructions, but she’s also someone who leads with heart — and both my dog and I felt that from day one.
Felicia is wonderful! She takes such good care of my big dog while I’m at work and always makes sure he’s happy and safe. She’s so sweet, attentive, and completely trustworthy. She also has a great way with dogs that can be a little challenging. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their dog like her own.
Brian has been wonderful with Frankie. She has enjoyed every minute of her weekly walks with him. She has had great fun showing him her neighborhood and her many "tricks". However, the time has come for her to say "goodbye", as she has completed her time. I highly recommend Brian to all. Your pets will love him. Diane
