“Melanie was great! She sent us updates every day and our pup seemed right at home. It was our first time using Rover so we were a little apprehensive but she put us at ease after meeting her and seeing how comfortable our boy was with her.”
“Sama was great! I reached out to her in advance about her watching our 2 senior pups while we were in the hospital delivering our son and she was super down to be flexible around his due date and take them at short notice. He came 5 days early and she was able to modify the stay and take them early that day. She sent daily updates and pictures and they were clearly very cozy and happy in her home. 10/10 would recommend.”

“Nancy was amazing! She kept me updated with pictures of my pet and followed feeding and playtime instructions like we had talked about in the meet and greet. She was also respectful of my home. Will definitely consider booking her again in the future!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and grew up in a home where they were truly part of the family. Over the years, friends and family have trusted me to care for their furry loved ones while they’re away, and I take that responsibility seriously. I also have a dog of my own, Lev, a 6-year-old male who has taught me a lot about patience, communication, and positive reinforcement training. Because Lev can be leash reactive, I’m very comfortable reading dog body language and handling walks calmly and safely. Through consistent positive reinforcement, we’ve built successful and enjoyable walks together. I understand that every dog has their own personality and needs, and I always aim to create a safe, positive, and fun experience for every pup in my care. I currently WFH full-time! Afternoon/evenings between 3-7pm on weekdays are ideal times for walks and visits. Weekends would vary, but I have pretty open availability in general! My own pup gets at least three walks a day—a long walk first thing in the morning and another before bed, plus a midday walk for some relief and fresh air. We often go on other adventures, including the beach and the dog park, but this our typical schedule. Because of this routine, I’m very accustomed to walking during high dog-traffic times and always prioritize safe, attentive handling. I stay aware of our surroundings, read dog body language, and use positive reinforcement to keep walks calm, structured, and enjoyable for every pup.
“Savannah is FANTASTIC!! She’s very reliable, gives my sweet pet all of the love and makes sure he is well taken care of. If I could give her more stars I would!!”
“Brenda did an awesome job looking after my two cats, notoriously shy, she got them to hang out and play! I already asked her to do another drop-in, she’s super reliable and the cats seemed very happy with how much time she spent with them!”
About: I know it's their world and I am simply lucky they let me live in it, temporarily. I've had cats in my family since I was born! We always had two Siamese cats in the house growing up, and my first pet I adopted out of college was my very own cat. I've cat sit for friends over the years as well and always hang out for several hours, not just do a drive by of food and water refill. Even though we all know how much they love to do their own thing, it's important for them too to get some scritches, pets, and zooming around done while you're away.
“Jade took amazing care of our Devon rex, Felipe!! She took the time to give us thorough updates and sent pictures of him every time she came by for a drop in visit which we really appreciated because we were missing our baby!! We will absolutely book with her for the next time we need care. Thank you, Jade!!”
About: I’m trained to administer medications — including injections — and monitoring for subtle changes in behavior, appetite, litter box use, and overall health. Cats are incredibly good at hiding illness, and I’m trained to notice the nuance. As a lifelong cat owner, currently with three cats of my own, I understand multi-cat households, unique personalities, and the importance of patience. Your cat’s comfort, safety, and well-being are always my top priority — I care for every cat as if they were my own. 🐾 PLEASE (with medical exceptions) have your kitty up to date on Rabies. FVRCP not required for care. Please ask me questions if need.
“Samantha is amazing. My cat loooooves her. She has excellent communication and help helps make trips away from home low stress because I know my cat is happy. Thank you Samantha.”
“Jamie always takes great videos and pictures, as well as detailed updates. I always feel at ease when I’m gone, knowing she’s taking great care of my kitty babies. Thank you!”
About: Have had family dogs all my life and my little guy for almost 5 years. I know the amount of work and dedication it takes to give them a happy and full life. I have also pet sit for friends both dogs and cats over the years. My friends know I’m someone they can depend on. I work from home primarily east coast hours so can be flexible in the afternoons/evenings. If your home is close can also work around meetings earlier in the day! I want to make sure your pet has a relaxed and comfortable time with me. I personally get pretty anxious when someone is checking in or taking care of my pet so I will do my best to ease that feeling for others.
“Sarah was great with my kitty! She provided lots of photos and updates and kitty was very happy and well taken care of when I got home. She played with him lots and he really loved her!”
“It was my first time using Rover, and I was out of town for the Christmas holiday needing someone to check in on my cat. Callahan did a fantastic job! She cleaned his litter box, refreshed his water, and made sure he got lots of love and attention. She was incredibly communicative, prompt, and responsible throughout the entire stay. I would absolutely recommend her and would happily book with her again!”

“Our dogs had the best time at Joseph and Chris’ home. We were in town just for the weekend and Joseph and Chris were very accommodating in hosting our pups while we went to the zoo. Communication leading up to the visit, and during their stay was phenomenal. Once we picked up our dogs, they fell asleep immediately, which is always a sign of a good time!”
About: As a healthcare professional, I bring a calm, detail-oriented, and safety-first approach to pet care. Beyond caring for my own yellow Lab, Simba, I have spent over seven years professionally and personally watching dogs for family members and friends. I understand how important it is to find someone reliable and trustworthy for your pets. Whether your dog needs medication administration, senior care, energetic play, or just a dependable companion while you are away, I provide attentive, compassionate care tailored to their exact needs. I currently work part-time from home, which means I have plenty of flexibility to give your pups constant attention, playtime, and potty breaks throughout the day. I live in a pet-friendly apartment community equipped with an on-site dog park, providing a fantastic environment for daily walks and safe outdoor play to help your dog burn off energy. My home is a clean, secure, and welcoming space, and I am happy to accommodate any specific crating routines or safety preferences your dog requires.

About: Hello! I’ve been a dog owner all my life. This is the first year not owning a dog anymore, but as much as I want another, I figured it’s time to help others take care of their loved pups!

I’m excited to get to know other dogs! I work at a restaurant Wednesdays- Sundays for 4 hours a day. I am at home a lot and available majority of my weeks.

About: I have taken care of animals on and off since I was a teenager, and now have the time do so more! I am able to spend ample time with your pet as I am remotely working. I am working remotely and spend all day at the house, meaning I have the ability to be with animals for more of the day. I would be able to care for pets in your home. I am able to travel throughout the day as needed for potty breaks and walks.

“Dusty had an AMAZING time with Stefani! During his drop of it was clear that he was right at ease with her immediately and shortly after I left he was already snuggled up for a morning nap! I’m incredibly appreciative that they went for a fun filled romp at the dog beach, so he got to run and exercise and play. Stefani sent photos and updates which helped ease my mind that my pup was in great hands and not missing me a bit! Stefani was flexible and helpful and I’m quite sure Dusty wanted to stay even longer than his one day visit! We’d love to return again 🥰”
“My dog loved her stay with Anar and was excited to return! Anar was flexible with pick-up and drop-off and sent me updates throughout the day on how Willow was doing!”
“Sam was great! Even though it rained pretty much the whole day he made sure my crazy pups are playing and having fun. I’ve received great updates including awesome pictures as well! We also scheduled a meet&greet beforehand which shows his professionalism, I’d definitely would recommend sam to anyone.”
“I really appreciated Zaira communicating and sending pictures and videos after dropping my pup off for her first daycare visit with her. Penelope came home pooped from all the playtime! Success!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻”

“Due to an injury, living upstairs I’m not supposed to do much of and having to use a cane for awhile, I desperately needed help asap walking my big girl. We are active and usually walk at least two miles twice a day. I came across Daniel’s profile, nervous as I’ve never had anyone but myself walk my sometimes very hard headed strong Cane Corso. I really appreciated that his profile noted that he’s comfortable with bigger breeds and has one of his own. I can’t say enough good things about his work ethic, kindness, gentle demeanor, quick communication, punctuality, professionalism - all of it! Not to mention my dog with some serious separation anxiety by the 3rd morning was up before the alarm in the morning to put on her “necklace” and go walk with her new bestie! She now pouts and looks out the window for an hour after their walks! (ha ha thanks Daniel!) I have booked future walks with full confidence and absolutely no hesitation. I am so very very thankful for his way with my working breed dog and his help!”
“Mihaela was great! Helped me out with a walk for Maui on pretty short notice and she took lots of pictures and a video and gave a really nice detailed report after the walk 🥰 would absolutely use her again!”
“Spencer has been doing daily dog walking for our two dogs for the past couple months and is reliable and responsive. He is great with our pups and would recommend him to anyone!”
“Melanie walked our 3 dogs and did a great job! She walked the littles and the senior separately and did a great job modifying their walk for variety and to match their energy. She is really friendly, nice, and reliable. Highly recommend!!”
About: I enjoy pups of all breeds and sizes and promise to treat your family member with love and respect. I’ve trained as an advanced dog walker with a shelter in Washington state as well as taken professional training with my own dogs, a large German shepherd and active husky. I WFH full time with some flexibility to my schedule, and I am hopping on here in the hopes that I can help some of you who have to travel daily to work, letting your dogs out mid day if you cannot personally be home, or drop in while on vacation to check in on your guys and gals. I WFH full time with a somewhat flexible schedule so if you are in the Normal Heights/North Park area I can work with you to meet your dog or cats daily needs I can provide your pet with whatever treats they like for their adventures and get them all suited up with collars/leashes/harnesses you usually utilize for walks. We have strict feeding schedules at home as well as medications that we have to dispense daily, so this is something I can also provide if necessary, just let me know what you need!

About: Hi, all! My name is Grace. I have been taking care and walking dogs my whole life, I but entered the professional pet care industry about 10 years ago. I love taking care of dogs and other animals from all walks of life, as I believe all living things should have the best quality of life that they possibly can. I have also been an athlete for over two decades, and cannot wait to have fun getting active with your animals. I offer jogging/running for the more athletic pups, and a more leisurely stroll for the dogs that like to take life a bit slower, as well as dog-sitting and drop-ins for all animals in between. I can't wait to meet you and your fluffy friends! I work part time in the afternoons and evenings, so I able to take your pets out for a fun activity in the mornings and afternoons until 2pm. I look forward to building a relationship with your furry friends!

I am pleased to offer safe and fun care while I am in your home, with lots of activity or snuggles depending on the energy levels.
“Alyssa was so communicative, and sent lots of updates and photos so I knew my dog Bandit was in terrific hands! Will definitely be using her again for dog walking and house sitting :)”
“Donavan and Mona are awesome. This is the best dog walker and sitter I have used. Had them walk my dog daily for an entire week, and because she is a puppy she can come with several challenges... They never once had an issue. They are a very professional duo. Text each time they arrive, send full summaries of the visits (immediately), demonstrate great judgement and are very responsive throughout. It’s nice that they are a couple too, because it’s minimizes my fear that they will be in a hurry or unable to spend time. Would highly recommend their services.”

“It was our first time ever having our dogs stay at someone’s home vs going to a boarding facility. Jennifer and Donald were awesome with our 2 Weimaraners, who can be demanding and a handful. We got photos and sometimes videos on a daily basis, which helped put our minds at ease during our vacation over Thanksgiving. We could see that our dogs were getting great walks, being properly fed and in a loving environment. Jennifer and Donald were also very accommodating when our drop off time had to move up an hour early in the morning. All in all, we highly recommend them.”
“We’ve now completed two trial daycare days and two trial boarding stays with Mark, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. Mello has separation anxiety, so we wanted to make sure she truly felt safe and comfortable before her official boarding. Mark has been incredibly patient, thoughtful, and genuinely caring every step of the way. He really goes above and beyond — he even brings Mello along with him when he’s out running quick errands like picking up pizza or McDonald’s, just so she can feel included and never alone. It’s clear he’s not just watching dogs — he’s trying to be their best friend. The biggest and most wonderful surprise: we had arranged trazodone for Mello to help with her anxiety and sleep, but she’s become so comfortable and happy there that she no longer needs it to rest well at night. That means everything to us. We’re heading into her official boarding stay next, and we feel completely confident she’ll have a great time. Thank you, Mark, for caring for Mello like your own!”
“Another great stay, LeeLoo gets happy every time she sees their house. Maryjane also does a great job taking care of her and communication and daily updates.”
“Genevieve was super responsive and took great care of our boy bayou! She sent pictures and videos of him playing, snuggling and relaxing throughout the weekend. Bayou seemed to have had an amazing time and I would definitely book with her again!”
“We boarded our dog Mango with Hana and she took very good care of him! He got a lot of exercise- going on walks, hikes, playing with other dogs. Overall he seems to have had a great time there 😊 She also makes sure to send videos and pictures frequently to keep us updated!”
