Amanda has been such an amazing friend to Cosmo. We moved to 4th ward last week and the change was stressful on the little guy. Amanda immediately established a rapport with him and they have great walks together. She is also very punctual and communicates well.

This was our first Rover walk for Coug. He can be nervous with new people, and Rachel was patient, kind, and understanding of his personality. She communicated well and made me feel comfortable knowing he was being cared for. I would happily book with Rachel again.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who grew up in a home full of pets, including dogs, cats, and even a bunny. Caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life, and I love getting to know each pet’s individual personality. I currently work in the service industry at a resturuant in South End, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply having someone to keep them company, i’m happy to provide attentive, reliable care while you’re away. I work in the service industry at a resturuant in South End, so my schedule is flexible and varies from week to week. This allows me to accommodate morning, afternoon, or evening visits depending on the week. I will always communicate clearly about my availability and make sure your pet gets the attention they deserve. When caring for pets in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. i’ll carefully follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications (if needed), playtime, and any other routines that help your pet feel comfortable. Every pet is unique, and i’ll provide patient, attentive care based on their individual needs. i’ll also treat your home with respect and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.

This was our first experience we had working with a dog walker . Rachel absolutely loves dogs. She happily met with us a couple of times for a meet and greet. Once at her house and once at ours. We loved that she sent pictures, showed us the walking route, and gave us a doggie report after each walk. The days she was scheduled to walk were hot and her flexibility to come earlier than planned was highly appreciated. We will certainly use Rachel again.

About: Passionate pet care professional, carrying years of experience taking care of the needs of animals, especially dogs. I've had a Chinese Crested Powder Puff (aged 15), a Chipoo Chinese Crested mix (aged 17), and multiple Jack Russell/Chihuahua/Shih Tzu mixes. I have some experience looking after cats as well! I am able to take care of pretty much all their essential needs. I can also provide playtime for pets under my supervision. I ensure that they are in a safe space and away from any hazards. I'm good at providing updates, with pictures included, so you know that your pet is doing well while you are away! I have a somewhat flexible schedule. I'm not too busy during the week, so my availability to provide care for pets have been pretty good. I'm very attentive when it comes to pets. You can rest assured that your furry friend will have a safe environment to running around and play in. Multiple pets that engage in playtime with each other will be supervised while under my care to mitigate any aggression that may come up during this activity.

About: I had my baby for 10 and a half years and still miss him every day. I’m not ready to get another baby, but I’d love to provide trustworthy care for yours. I work from home, so I can do potty breaks and give medications as needed. Without any other pets or people in my home, I can provide all the needs of your dog(s). I work from home during the week, so I’ll be able to work around needed schedules. It is possible for me to be gone on certain days for 4-8 hours. I’ll do my best to take care of your baby / babies as you would. I had my 125 pound baby in an apartment, so I understand the need for multiple walks and finding places they can run. Pets are welcome on any furniture in my home.

About: What sets me apart is the level of patience, attention, and genuine love I bring to every dog I care for. I’ve spent years working with dogs of all ages — from energetic puppies who need structure and training, to gentle senior dogs who require extra time, comfort, and understanding. I’m calm, reliable, and very detail‑oriented, which helps me adapt to each dog’s unique personality and needs. I’m also experienced with: • Puppy routines (crate training, potty breaks, basic commands) • Senior dog care (slow walks, medication reminders, mobility support) • High‑energy dogs who need exercise and mental stimulation • Shy or anxious pups who need a soft, reassuring presence Hello! I’m Cristina, and caring for animals has always been one of my greatest joys. I’m attentive, gentle, and very detail‑oriented — perfect for dogs who need a little extra patience, structure, or reassurance. I follow routines carefully, communicate clearly with owners, and make sure your dog feels comfortable and understood. My goal is simple: to give your pet the same love and care they get at home. When I’m caring for pets, my priority is always to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. If your pet stays with me, they’ll enjoy a calm, clean, and loving environment.

About: What sets me apart is my combination of professional veterinary experience and genuine love for animals. I have over three years of experience working in a veterinary hospital, where I learned to recognize signs of illness, handle pets with patience and compassion, and support pets of all ages, from playful puppies to senior companions. I'm comfortable following detailed care instructions, and caring for pets with special needs or medical conditions. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I'll also keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your furry family member is in caring, capable hands. Pet care fits naturally into my routine! I work from home as a customer support representative for a veterinary clinic, which gives me the flexibility to provide attentive, reliable care throughout the day. Whether it's morning walks, midday potty breaks, playtime, feedings, or simply keeping your pet company, I'm able to give them plenty of attention while maintaining their normal routine. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time outdoors and staying active, making dog walks and play sessions one of my favorite parts of the day. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Your pet's safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. Whether I'm caring for your pet in your home or simply stopping by for a visit or walk, I'll follow your instructions closely to help keep their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. With my veterinary background, I'm attentive to changes in behavior or health and understand the importance of careful observation. I'll ensure doors, gates, and leashes are always secure, provide fresh food and water, clean up after your pet, and create a calm, positive environment where they feel safe and cared for. I also believe communication is key, so you can expect regular updates, tons of photoshoots, and prompt communication throughout my visits. My goal is for you to have complete peace of mind knowing your pet is being treated like one of my own.

Kelly did a great job! She was able to arrange a last-minute meet and greet as I was traveling unexpectedly during New Years and did an excellent job with my two large dogs and 4 cats. She followed all of their care instructions and all of my pets were happy and well cared for when I returned. I am already scheduling my next booking with her, highly recommended!

He was always on time and left me messages every day. I would definitely recommend him. He provided a perfect no stress service. Thank you, Peyton. Pluto will miss you.

Hi Anthony-I appreciated you being available in short notice. And I’m grateful for the time you gave on Friday. I am going to cancel the bookings for this week though because the extra dog fee was more than I am used to paying for a 30 minute walk. It has nothing to do with you - you were great.

Jasmine has walked my 1 year old dog for the past month! I'd highly recommend her to other dog owners. She's done a great job (i.e., arriving on time, helping redirect him on walks when needed, sending plenty of updates, etc.). She even remembers to give treats / turn on background noise for him if I forget to when I leave. Jasmine's been a great dog walker and is so kind - looking forward to having Jasmine continue to walk my dog!

About: Hi! I’m Ava & I’ve been caring for animals since I was very young. Over the years I’ve looked after cats, dogs, reptiles, rabbits, and fish for friends and family. While I do have experience with a variety of pets, cats are definitely my specialty! I absolutely adore them and I completely understand how important it is to respect their routines and boundaries! I’ve also cared for quite a few dogs, most frequently a Husky and a French Bulldog, but I’m comfortable with well-mannered dogs of all sizes. I’m not the best fit for dogs that tend to be more rowdy or have little training. I believe every pet deserves a sitter who is the right match for their needs, so if your dog tends to have those qualities, we may not be the best fit for each other. Although I’m new to Rover, I’m not new to pet care. My goal is to build experience here while providing dependable, attentive care that gives pet parents complete peace of mind. I genuinely treat every animal as if they were my own. I’m very detail-oriented and believe consistency is incredibly important for pets. When I hire a pet sitter for my own animals, I provide detailed care instructions and hope they’ll be followed exactly. I promise to do the same for you, no matter how complicated! Feeding schedules, medications, litter boxes, clean ups, walks, playtime, just say the word and I’ll follow your instructions without cutting corners! I’d love the opportunity to talk with you and meet your pets to provide the kind of care I’d want for my own animals! I want to make sure you can enjoy your time away and put your mind at ease that your babies are in safe hands. I work full time during the week, for now. My current availability is M-F after 4:45 PM & Sat-Sun with open availability. I am open to evening (after 5pm) drop-ins every day & morning drop-ins on Saturdays & Sundays only. I can provide house sitting overnight care every day, but I will need to be at my full time weekday job from 8-5pm M-F. On weekend days I can spend more time with your pets if needed. While your away, I care for your pets just as much as my own. Please leave me detailed and clear instructions and I will follow them exactly as you wish! I will always make sure your pets get plenty of love and pets when I come visit, unless they prefer to stay in their own bubble :)

Tracy is awesome! We connected super quickly as we needed a sitter since my boyfriend recently started working a new job! Within a day, Tracy had offered to meet our puppy so we could all get acquainted, and showed up to walk her just a few days later. She also leaves amazing notes every walk so we know what our girl was up to (which is amazing) and sends us pics/videos! I would highly recommend Tracy!!! :)
