“Rachel was great with our dog Murphy! She was prompt in replying and very dependable. Murphy looked forward to his walk everyday, she even adjusted her schedule for us. We will definitely use Rachel again in the future.”

About: I am a dog-obsessed veterinary assistant student with two years of professional pet care experience from working at pet daycares. I have received extensive training on caring for dogs with all different types of personalities. I have also been blessed with many wonderful family dogs growing up and now have two very spoiled fur babies of my own. I currently work full-time at a pet daycare and work on my schooling on Tuesday-Saturday, but I am available any time on Sundays and Mondays. I’d love nothing more than giving your precious pet all of my attention and care. I enjoy long walks and taking time to explore the outdoors but with a furry companion by my side. I’m very capable of accommodating any special needs your dog may have. Every dog is unique and sometimes needs a little extra patience and understanding.

About: I have been taking care of all kinds of dogs ever since I was 15! Pet sitting is one of my favorite things to do! I currently have a 9 year old boxer and an 18 year old peekapoo so I have truly seen dogs at every age and stage haha! I have a special soft spot for senior dogs though, especially since the one I have means the world to me! I currently am a student part time and work part time, and have plenty of time during the day before I head to work or class to watch or walk your pups! I have a lot of practice being able to crate bigger dogs, and am usually pretty aware of dogs and their triggers. I always want them to be happy and healthy!

About: Hello! I have grown up around animals my entire life. Personally, I have raised and trained one dog and have taken care of many others since I was a teenager. I have also owned two cats in my life, so I have plenty of experience and patience when it comes to felines. :) I have also owned a variety of reptiles and amphibians throughout the years. Caring for animals has always come very naturally to me, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with them and making sure they feel comfortable and safe. I treat every pet with the same attentiveness and respect that I would give my own. I am very flexible and I am completely free for most days. I prefer working weekdays in the mid morning or afternoon/evening but weekends and earlier times are no problem, don’t be afraid to ask! I can easily crate your dog if needed, and I will keep a close eye on them whenever they are outside. I will always respect the surroundings of my client’s home and make sure to follow any instructions you provide. I am also happy to adapt to each pet’s individual needs so they feel comfortable and well cared for.
“Mikaela is very personable and friendly! I trust her entirely with my pup; you can tell she really cares about dogs of all kinds. Also, she is reliable and coordinates if she has a change in schedule. I would highly recommend her to anyone.”

About: Hi! My name is Emily, and I love all kinds of animals. I grew up with a boxer and have been taking care of my neighbors pets for years.

About: I care for your pets like they’re my own. Patience and safety and super important to me. I have experience with puppies, senior pets and administering medications, so I know how to adjust care for every age and personality. Whether it’s playtime, walks or cozy cuddles. I make sure your pet feels happy, secure and right at home. My goal is simple: fun, safe and stress-free care for your furry family! I currently work from home full time! Which is good news for you because that means I can periodically check up on your furry friend through out the day or if need be I can pack up and work from your house! Typically I end work around 4 p.m. Monday- Friday. I also am open to weekend activities! Working in whatever environment to make the pet feel at peace while their owners are away is super important to me. Mostly, staying with them and watching if anything abnormal is happening. Communication is also key, so taking photos of their day to ensure a safe and enjoyable time is vital.
About: I have had pets in my home since I was 5 years old and love caring for animals of every kind! For the past 5 years, I have extended my love for animals to my neighbors and friends. When they left town, they entrusted me to care for their plants, animals, and houses. I have experience in caring for dogs, cats, chickens, and cows! I am an engineering student and have class for most of the day. I have plenty of breaks between classes where I would have time to check on your pet (except Thursdays) and I am usually free at night. I cannot provide pet care in my own home, but I am flexible and a good learner, and I will communicate with you to ensure that your pets are taken care of the way you want them to be in your own home.
About: Having owned dogs my entire life, I have hands-on experience in raising/training puppies, dog sitting, dog walking, and even knowledge of veterinary medicine through my career. I understand the importance of quality care and thorough communication, as pets are truly FAMILY. With the weather being so beautiful lately, I would LOVE for your furry family member to join me in staying active and taking in the sunshine!! I also now offer drop-in services! I am currently a part-time student working part time, so I am often available in the mornings, 7am-11am. On days I am not scheduled to work, typically Tuesdays & Fridays, I am usually available any time until 6pm.

About: I’ve mostly cared for bigger dogs with a lot of energy. I regularly look after my friend’s pets as well as my family’s. I have a dog of my own, she’s very active and friendly. I’ve had her for over a year and learned so much about dogs from being a pet parent. I got to school part-time but I still have quite a bit of time throughout the day for check-ins. The weekends are best for boarding. I like to do dog walking throughout the week. I spend most of my time at home so I don’t mind hosting at my home but I’ll also do care at a client’s home. I do not have a fenced in back yard but I live in an area with a lot of parks and open spaces. I do spend a lot of time outside so I’m comfortable with going out for multiple walks a day. I don’t provide treats of my own unless the owner asks me too or if they tell me what they’re okay with their pet eating. I don’t give pets food I’m eating because I don’t want them to choke or they could get sick.
About: I’ve never NOT had a pet. Growing up I have always had dogs! Now that my parents have moved, I have been missing my pups. I have taken care of neighbors pets for years as well as house and pet sitting for some family members & coworkers over the years. I am currently a college student, I have one class currently from 11-11:50 on mon-thurs, I do take other classes online! I do tend to run around a lot but majority of my time would be with the pets! When caring for pets, safety and trust are paramount. In my home or the client's, I always ensure pets have a safe, comfortable environment, and all their needs are met. I keep all harmful objects out of reach, provide plenty of playtime when i’m home, and stick to their feeding and walking schedules. And of course, lots of love and cuddles are always included! 🐾
About: I have taken care of a couple of dogs. The owners have relied on me to take care of their dogs with walking and feeding. I do work full time, with a couple days at home. I can board overnight or on the weekends or walk dogs when not boarding. My area has a great place for dogs to walk and go outside for the bathroom. My home is calm and clean with dog toys to play with.
“Hailee was a Godsend!! Absolutely worthy 5 stars! It was our first time using Rover and I couldn’t be more happy with her service! Thanks so much! And we will certainly be booking with you again!”


“Kristin was AMAZING! Honestly it was our first time using Rover and it was literally so calming and easy with her. She went above and beyond and really took care of the details that Sly needed! She’s kind and funny, and you can really trust her. We WILL be using her again, and are so thankful for her!”

“Kynnedy was a great choice for our boy! She took pics and showed up on time. She was not hesitant to take care of our Pitskie last minute for a walk on a holiday weekend and her rate was a plus. We saw her photos and knew she would be a great pick for our breed, being a larger dog others tend to stray away but she said yes. She even offered to fill his water ❤️”
