“Jessica took great are of our dog while we were away. The daily photos she sent showed that Sundance was comfortable in his temporary surroundings, which gave us peace of mind. She has a nice fenced yard where dogs can enjoy outdoors time. She was available for meet/greet and drop off/pick up. All went smoothly!”
“Kathleen and Nathan took great care of our dog, Ruthie. Lots of pictures and we really felt like they treated her like family. Will definitely ask them to watch Ruthie next time we travel!”
“They were just wonderful! Trustworthy; responsive and communicative. They sent me photos of Huckleberry every day. He looked very contented. I’ll definitely call on them again to take care of Huck the next time I leave town.”
“I cannot express enough how grateful I am for the wonderful care you provided for my dog, Luna! From the moment I dropped her off, I could tell she was in great hands. You took the time to understand her personality and needs, which made all the difference. Luna had an absolute blast during her day with you! Thank you once again for giving Luna such a wonderful day. I will definitely be reaching out for future dog-sitting needs, and I highly recommend your services to anyone looking for a caring and responsible sitter!”
“I can't say enough wonderful things about Kim!! She was the perfect fit for my 8yr old Mal-Shi, Ella. She took such good care of my anxious little girl, giving her lots of love & comfort, as well as paying attention to the details of her care. She absolutely treated her like the queen that she is.”
“Kate was an amazing sitter! She made the entire process seamless, providing regular updates and adorable pictures of our dog. I highly recommend her and would absolutely book with her again!”
“We had a great experience with Gabrielle! Everything went smoothly and Clover came home happy and well cared for. Gabrielle was so kind, communicative and easy to work with. We really appreciated the updates and attention she gave. Would absolutely book with her again!”
“Kristen was amazing with our Koko. She was always updating us on her day. She liked being there so much that she did not have her usual excitement upon seeing us. I'm so glad we found her and we will definitely be using her when we need to be away. She also got along really well with Kristen's fur babies.”
“Shayna was incredible at caring for my furbaby. She went above and beyond in her care including always communicating with me through out. I think she is the best on Rover! I was nervous leaving my little one for days without me and in a strangers care, but she clearly made it easier and which gave me the confidence that my doggy would be well cared for! Boy was I right! I will book her again as my Yorkie seemed to love her lots. If you ask me she needs to open her own doggy daycare business!!!! Thank you again Shayna!!! My little one came back so happy and full of joy after being with you!!!”
“Jenna did a great job taking care of Monte for the weekend. The photo shoot she did with him was super cute too. Looks like he had a blast on his doggy sleep over. Thank you again!”
“Lindsay was an amazing sitter for my baby Theodore. She was attentive, patient, sweet, and also gives updates on how he was doing the whole time. I got daily pictures of him and it made me really happy. I will book her again and again. Highly recommend.”
About: I’ve had pets my entire life, and have experience with pet sitting as a teenager. I currently have two regular clients, I have 5 pets of my own and would love to help with cats or small dogs when you need it! I’m a probation officer, and a reliable animal lover. I work from home typically Tuesday-Thursday depending on my work schedule, so I have more flexibility on my lunch break on these days to help out with drop in visits. If you trust me to keep your pet at my home, I’ll be with them all day and can provide frequent potty breaks Tuesday-Thursday. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of space to run, and two dogs who would love a playmate and sleepover! If you have a cat, I will check in and provide company as needed.
“This was our first time using Rover and wow am I bummed we didn’t find Peter and Alyssa sooner. Our dogs are used to us working from home so when we are out of town we hate the thought of them being alone for the majority of the day and all night with pet sitters. When we picked our girls up they were happy to see us but we could tell they were tired, loved, and well taken care of! As a perk, our younger dog got to play with Peter and Alyssa’s dogs (the older one doesn’t play as much anymore). We do not have any trips coming up but the minute we do we will book with Peter and Alyssa immediately!”
“Our little Brutus was well-cared for at Ramona’s home. She got him to eat (he can be finicky) and sent us pictures every day of him snuggling up with her. We’ll definitely book again!”
About: I stand out as a dog walker by providing a level of care that goes beyond a standard walk, focusing on reliability, communication, and personalized attention for every dog. I tailor each walk to fit the dog’s energy level, age, and temperament, while keeping owners informed with updates and photos so they feel confident and at ease. I take pride in being punctual, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s unique needs, whether that means a high-energy outing or a calm, gentle stroll. I also bring a professional yet friendly approach, building trust with both pets and their owners. By combining consistency, thoughtful extras, and genuine care, I create a positive experience that keeps both dogs happy and owners coming back. Dog walking fits naturally into my daily routine, as I already prioritize getting outside for exercise and fresh air. I’m an outdoor enthusiast who enjoys walking regularly, and having a dog as a companion makes it even more enjoyable and rewarding. I’m available after 6:00 PM Monday through Friday, as well as anytime on weekends, which allows me to provide consistent and flexible care for pet owners with busy schedules. This routine not only benefits me but ensures dogs get the attention, activity, and companionship they need on a regular basis. I would be a trustworthy dog walker because I prioritize the safety, well-being, and happiness of every pet in my care. I am reliable, punctual, and communicate clearly with owners, keeping them informed about their dog’s activities and any concerns. My experience as an outdoor enthusiast means I’m comfortable handling dogs of different energy levels and temperaments in a variety of environments. I treat each dog as an individual, providing consistent attention and care, and I take responsibility seriously, ensuring every walk is safe, enjoyable, and stress-free. Owners can have confidence knowing their pets are in capable, attentive hands.
About: I won’t lie and say I’ve professionally taken care of dogs for 15 years—but I’ve taken care of dogs ever since elementary school, in my own household and in others’. I know what to look out for to prevent a dog from getting into trouble. I’ve dealt with just about all kinds of messes. And I can handle any size of dog. My main job is part-time contract work, so there are a lot of monetary and time gaps that need filled. That said, my routine allows a lot of room for pet sitting! Every dog is different, so I take that approach with each pet I look after. I follow owner’s instructions, and if I have any questions I am not afraid to ask for clarification—the dog’s/owner’s needs come first. I love giving dogs the attention they deserve (which is usually a lot), and am great at playing.
“Perfect stay! Susan provides a wonderful, caring home. I appreciate her great communication with frequent updates, nice back yard for playing, and attention to detail. Buddy loved his time with her!”
“I cannot put into words how much I appreciate Megan. We were so nervous about leaving Libby for the first time. She put our minds at ease instantly. She did a meet and greet and then sent updates every day that we were gone. I couldn’t be more happy! I felt that Libby was very well taken care of and we will definitely use Megan again. Thank you so much for everything!!!”

“She was absolutely amazing got good pictures of my babies every time she visited and also had very good communication. My cat seemed very happy and healthy when I got back!”
“Keerie helped us on short notice and was friendly, professional and followed every one of our instructions throughout the week that we were away. Most importantly, Keerie was great with our cats and sent extensive updates and photos of them from her drop ins. We wouldn't hesitate to book Keerie to cat sit again!”
“Marie took such good care of our cats while we were out of town. She was incredibly communicative and made our vacation stress-free. We will definitely be booking her in the future to take care of our cats as well as our dog!”
“Taylor was so great with my Cleo! She was available on short notice and was willing to meet us prior to going away for a few days. I was really worried how Cleo would react, he is an older dog and protective, but she handled him so very well! Thank so much Taylor! I will be reaching out again!”
“So glad I came across Lindsay, I had to head out of town last minute and she came in clutch. We weren’t able to do a meet and greet beforehand but we were able to figure something out and everything turned out fine. Will definitely keep her mind for the future!”
“Maria was outstanding. My cats were chill and happy when I arrived home. She even refilled my bird feeders. Much gratitude for her love and care of Bodhi and Bear. Will definitely use again and highly recommend 💜”
“Julie was great! She was very patient and caring with my very shy and nervous cat. She took extra care to make sure he was as comfortable as he could be in order to receive medication he needs. She was also very communicative, meet with me multiple times to ensure I felt comfortable. Highly recommend and plan on using in the future!!”
About: I’ve taken care of cats for as long as I can remember. I am a true cat lady at heart and I’ve been a cat lover since I could walk. I’ve found homes for strays and helped feed and care for them in my neighborhood. Cats are pretty independent and easy to care for, but I have experience with administering specific medications and can help depending on if your pet tolerates it! Can clean cat boxes, feed, water, play and cuddle your pet if you’re away!
“Always an amazing, more than helpful, experience with Brianne. Our kitty absolutely adores her :) And he’s never anxious when I return from trips. Thank you for taking such great care of our guy.”
About: I’ve owned dogs and cats my whole life and I’ve been taking care of other people’s pets since I was in high school and have experience with cats and dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. My goal is to provide dependable care and regular updates so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. I’m a stay at home mom with a husband who works remote so I’m very flexible! This allows me to provide consistent care, frequent potty breaks, walks, and lots of attention throughout the day. Your pet will receive plenty of supervision and companionship while in my care. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow each pet's routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any special instructions provided. I always keep pets supervised, ensure doors and gates are secure, and pay close attention during walks and outdoor time. I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you're away.
“Dave was fantastic! He was quick to respond from my initial inquiry. The meet and greet was a success as I could tell my pup loved him right away. Dave was communicative, on time, and followed all instructions. He was tidy and respectful of my home. I felt so at ease knowing my puppy was in good hands and having fun and the photos showing how happy Corbin was were the highlight of my day. Thank you Dave for being so wonderful and taking such great care of Corbin. I know he'll miss you. Hope to book with you again and will absolutely suggest you to friends and family!”
“Rebecca was great! We have a pretty nervous cat and Rebecca got her to open up in their first meeting! Handled everything we requested and even helped bring in our mail while we were gone. Can't recommend enough!”

“Wonderful sitter and her dogs are lovely. I have a teeny toy poodle and he is Captains little buddy. Captain is such a sweety and begs for you to let him play with your pups. My dog gets excited every time he sees Marie when we pull up on her drive way. Will repeatedly take my dog to her house for playdates and needed dog sitting. She is also very accommodating and flexible with bad schedules!”
“Excellent service. Zach and his daughter were great with my dog Rex! Great setup with a tall fence and Rex loved playing with their dogs.This was a same day booking and they were able to accommodate us last minute and also the following day. I had only left my dog one day at a kennel his whole life so was nervous and within minutes knew I had made the correct choice with Zach and his home!”
“Brittany was great with Bruno and super communicative throughout the day. She was flexible for a last minute booking and kind and we felt totally comfortable leaving our dog there. Would absolutely book again!”

Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. As a virtual teacher, I work from home, which allows me to provide consistent supervision, companionship, and attention throughout the day.

About: I have always had pets of all kinds growing up along with much love for all wildlife. Currently I have 4 cats, 2 dogs, 3 fish and many snails, and a lot of plants! My dog growing up became diabetic (also blind) and I provided him supportive care for the remaining 5 years he had (including special meals and insulin shots)! I have rescued several cats and found loving homes after getting them medical care (I always keep in touch). One of my cats was a bottle baby after finding her on the side of the road at only 3 weeks old, she is now almost 2. I also provided supportive care for my two eldest cats (11years) after their major surgeries (perineal urethrostomy and gallbladder removal). I am also in the process of obtaining my wildlife rehabilitation permit for I always seem to be brought animals to care for and I would like to do more for them than just transporting to a rehabilitator! I have a lot of room at my house which includes the finished basement area with separate rooms, a mudroom, a large fenced in backyard, and kennels if needed. I'm willing to travel to you, or care for your animals here! All my animals are friendly (successfully introduced and integrated) but if yours needs some privacy I can absolutely provide it. I'm here to help, I hope it's clear how important your fur babies would be to me! I would love to make whatever it is you need happen. I am currently a stay at home mom with my own fur babies. My day starts at 6AM when I wake up to feed and walk the dogs and check to see if the cats need anything. I would be more than happy to care for your animal(s) here or get out of the house and care for them in their home! I have a large fenced in yard, a finished basement with separate rooms, a separate mudroom, and kennels if needed! My 4 cats and 2 dogs roam the house and would love to make new friends, but if your animals are shy, we have plenty of space to accommodate. All I ask is for a clear set of instructions if caring for your pet in your home and you can expect those instructions to be carried out with love and respect for your animal(s) and property. I am also insured for pet care/housesitting through PCI.
About: Hi, I’m Nicole — a lifelong animal lover and self‑proclaimed helicopter dog parent. Caring for dogs isn’t just something I do — it’s who I am. My babies are in heaven now so I’ve joined rover as a pet sitter. **I kindly request if you’d like to book me, please have your rover profile filled out and photos uploaded.** I’ve spent the last decade-plus loving and supporting two very different pups with very different needs. My 16‑year‑old baby boy chihuahua Harley taught me everything about caring for a truly high‑maintenance senior dog. From medications and special feeding routines to extra snuggles, slow walks, and getting bossed around. ;) I also shared my life with my 11 year old Labrador-baby girl Lexi- who recently passed away from cancer on 5/19. Navigating that journey with her taught me deep compassion, vigilance, and emotional care. I became an expert in monitoring comfort levels, adjusting daily routines, and making every moment count. These experiences shaped the way I care for every dog who comes into my home: with attentiveness, understanding, and the same level of devotion I have given my own. • I treat your dog the way I treat mine — like family. • I am extremely attentive and present. If your pup needs something, I’m there. • Senior dogs and high‑maintenance fur babies are welcome. I get them. • Dogs are absolutely allowed on furniture — cuddles are encouraged here. • We don’t have a fence, but I’m a safety‑first sitter. I leash dogs for every potty break and stay right with them. • Because I work from home, your dog will rarely be left alone. • My home is calm, cozy, and dog friendly. I call myself a helicopter dog parent because I am very cautious- I am checking the pavement temp before walks, we aren’t walking on lawns that have chemical lawn treatment flags, I have a car hammock and dog seatbelt for rides, if I run an errand the dryer won’t be on, etc. Why I Do This I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone. They’re your heart. Your family. Your little shadow. I’ve been in your shoes many times, I’ve used Rover in the past and my goal is to give you that same peace of mind I always looked for — knowing your pup is safe, loved, and truly understood. On weekdays I go to the gym early in the morning and telework daily in my private office with a comfy dog friendly couch. Sometimes I am home on the weekends and sometimes not so it depends on when you need care. If you’re unsure just message me and I can see if I am free. :) if your dog can join us on the boat or on camping trips I can be more flexible with you. Our non-smoking home is pet friendly and I have a 12 year old daughter who loves animals. I do not have any animals in my home. For potty breaks your pet would be leashed.
About: Hello my name is Tabetha I am a vet assistant graduate from Northcoast medical training academy 2016. I am employed at Akron Medina Veterinary Hospital and Pet Resort. I do live an apartment but there are lots of woods & trails to go on long walks as your dog needs. I also can provide other services such as nail trims, ear cleaning, and bathing. I am home all day and your pup will never be alone. I can also do drop in visits when needed. I look forward to taking care of your fur baby when you are away. I do work full time, I am off Tuesdays and weekends and I could do a visit before work 7:00am and be there right after work 5:00pm or if I am doing overnight. I would only be gone those hours. 7:00-5:00pm I can easily crate your dog if needed. I do live an apartment but I can take your dog on long walks though the parks.
“Sarah was incredibly thorough and made sure that my dog felt comfortable in a new space! Thank you so much for your time and giving Lou Lou an incredibly fun experience.”
“Pat was amazing with our dog Lucy. Our daycare had to go over until the morning due to getting home super late and she was very accommodating. Lucy had a blast playing with a new friend! We will definitely be back. Thank you!”

About: I have experience caring for pets, including training puppies and giving extra gentle care to senior pets. What makes me stand out is how much I truly care about each animal’s unique needs and making sure they feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I am constantly around animals and having to commit myself to taking care of them. I am comfortable around all dogs and am willing to adapt and learn how to best care for your animal. When I come to take care of, play with, and walk your dogs I will dedicate my time to loving them. I would love to be able to take them to the dog park where they can also interact with other animals while you're away! Pet care fits smoothly into my daily and weekly routine because I prioritize consistent time for feeding, exercise, play, and rest. I make sure to set aside dedicated moments each day to attend to pets’ needs, whether it’s morning walks, midday playtime, or evening cuddles, so they always feel cared for and comfortable. I can do drop in visits and dog walking any time tuesday-thursday. friday thru monday i can do 6-8:30am and 9-10pm. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I prioritize creating a safe and calm environment. I make sure all areas are pet-proofed to prevent accidents, keep their food and water fresh, and maintain a clean space. I also follow any specific instructions from the owner closely, whether it’s about feeding, medication, or exercise, to build trust and ensure pets feel secure and comfortable.

About: Hi! I’m a reliable and caring pet lover based in the Akron/Cuyahoga Falls area. I’ve cared for cats and dogs of all personalities and understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I currently have pets of my own, so I’m very familiar with feeding routines, litter/cleanup, playtime, medication schedules, and giving animals patience and attention. I’m happy to provide updates and photos during visits so you can feel at ease while you’re away from home. My schedule is flexible, and I’m available for drop-ins, house sitting, and pet care throughout the week. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, cuddly, or independent, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! 🐾 It fits in perfectly! I am currently doing mostly freelance work right now so this type of flexible schedule is just the right fit for me! I will provide extra toys, lots of love and snuggles, and I am open to discussing providing more if that is of interest to you!
About: My husband and I have loved getting to dog sit for friends and family. When we heard about rover we got so excited! My husband and I are both runners and are happy to take the dogs we watch on runs/ walks and hikes. We also have enjoyed our new home which came with a fenced in yard. Giving the dogs freedom to run and play is so fun to watch! Every dog we watch feels right at home and we love to cuddle with each and every one. I am currently a stay at home mom for my 5, 4 and 2 year old and think your pup will fit in just right with our fun crew. Feel free to reach out with any questions! I am currently working part time, and I have plenty of time to work your pup into our daily routine. We have three kiddos at home so a routine is something our family thrives on. We have a beautiful fenced in backyard with lots of room to run and play. We also have a crate that can be utilized if need be. There is an extra room we use for dogs to be able to take a break if need be.
“Brittany was great, she came in while I was working and took Fermin for his walks, always reporting everything. You can tell how happy Fermin was to be around her ! I will definitely book her again!”
About: I've been around cats and dogs my whole life and always enjoyed learning their unique personalities and social hierarchies. I am still (forever) mourning the loss of my childhood dogs and funnel my love for them towards any dog I encounter. I was a 4Paws sitter in college, so I have experience with socializing puppies and some basic training, while adapting to the dog's different ages. I have a cat of my own that I love like my own human child, and I spread that care and joy to any kitty I encounter! I am currently very flexible as I am new to the area and between jobs. I have the time to show your pet the care and love that it needs while you are gone! I have my own car so I can easily travel to care for multiple pets if necessary. My yard is not entirely fenced in, but there is grass in the back and front. I have one cat in my home, so I require cat-friendly dogs that can ideally be crated for short periods if needed. As far as other cats, I know it can be situational, but I do have the space to keep the cats separated to begin with/ the whole visit if necessary. All of our indoor plants are pet-friendly as well!
About: I currently have a flexible schedule and looking to help relieve some pent up pupper energy or drop in for a hangout during those long days. Do you have a pup that needs a walk or a fall hike? Are you traveling this Holiday season? I have some Holiday availability for boarding. I am currently between jobs and wanting to explore areas where my passions lie. My greatest joy are my pets and I’d love to help spoil yours. I am highly flexible during the weekdays. I have a fully fenced in yard as well as everything your pet may need. I have a variety of crate sizes, dog beds, bowls, leashes, and litter boxes. I have many baby gates allowing the ability to separate animals if needed. I personally allow my dog to free roam and sleep in bed but able to accommodate all guests.
About: My family has always had animals, and I've always loved taking care of them. Dogs, cats, birds, the whole nine yards. I've been around pure-breds, mutts, strays, elderly animals, young animals, a whole range, and I've always been very close with all of them. The most direct experience I've ever had was helping raise and train my mother's dog Ivan, a big American Bulldog with German Shepherd and Siberian Husky heritage, from near-birth to nine years old. Beyond that, I've helped care for my grandmother's many dogs, including Jasper, who is pictured in my profile picture. I'm currently on summer break between my Junior and Senior year of college, so I have plenty of time to care for animals at most points during the week. I generally like to keep Sundays and Mondays open, but I'm otherwise totally free to work. I'm a fairly relaxed pet owner myself, but I know when animals need to be taken seriously. As someone who helped raise a moderately antisocial 100 lbs. dog once, I know it's not all sunshine and rainbows. That being said, I'm more than loving and compassionate, and will do everything in my power to make sure your animals feel loved and cared for when I'm with them.

I am confident in my dog handling abilities, and have experience with puppies, seniors, and handicapped dogs. I am self employed, so I have plenty of flexibility to accommodate some dog care! Weekends are my favorite days to make appointments. And I have reliable transportation! Respect is paramount. I will do my best to both 1) feel comfortable around your pet (which is important!) and 2) respect your home and belongings.
About: I’ve taken care of friends pets and animals for around nine years! It truly brings so much joy to the season. Dogs are my favorite animal and I am passionate about all breeds. I can take care of your pet any time you need whether it’s daily or weekly! This includes overnight stays or daily walks any number of times. I can ensure your dog is fed and has water on top of exercise if needed! If your dog needs crated I am able to do so. I can take them out regardless if your yard is fenced.
“Megan is absolutely phenomenal! From the first day she met Sasha I could tell she was a pro! Megan is attentive to Sasha, she always gives me great updates and pictures every day! She communicates anything that may be off for that day so I know what to expect when I get home! She takes Sasha on great adventures around the neighborhood and Sasha always looks so happy! Megan is very mindful of our schedule and makes sure she communicates any changes wrll ahead of time and is so flexible with my schedule! I cannot say enough wonderful things about Megan but I have recommended her to other friends and would encourage anyone reading this to book her! She is the best!!”
About: I'm the guy everyone asks to pet sit because I never say no! I'm reliable, attentive, and patient and never met an animal I didn't like. I'm a freelance artist which gives me loads of flexibility when it comes to scheduling. Short notice is fine. Life throws curve balls sometimes, and I'm here to help. I abide by the golden rule, and treat all animals as if they were my own family. I pay attention to details and follow all specific instructions for our special friends!

“Jessica took great are of our dog while we were away. The daily photos she sent showed that Sundance was comfortable in his temporary surroundings, which gave us peace of mind. She has a nice fenced yard where dogs can enjoy outdoors time. She was available for meet/greet and drop off/pick up. All went smoothly!”
“I cannot express enough how grateful I am for the wonderful care you provided for my dog, Luna! From the moment I dropped her off, I could tell she was in great hands. You took the time to understand her personality and needs, which made all the difference. Luna had an absolute blast during her day with you! Thank you once again for giving Luna such a wonderful day. I will definitely be reaching out for future dog-sitting needs, and I highly recommend your services to anyone looking for a caring and responsible sitter!”
“Kate was an amazing sitter! She made the entire process seamless, providing regular updates and adorable pictures of our dog. I highly recommend her and would absolutely book with her again!”
“Kristen was amazing with our Koko. She was always updating us on her day. She liked being there so much that she did not have her usual excitement upon seeing us. I'm so glad we found her and we will definitely be using her when we need to be away. She also got along really well with Kristen's fur babies.”
“Lindsay was an amazing sitter for my baby Theodore. She was attentive, patient, sweet, and also gives updates on how he was doing the whole time. I got daily pictures of him and it made me really happy. I will book her again and again. Highly recommend.”
“This was our first time using Rover and wow am I bummed we didn’t find Peter and Alyssa sooner. Our dogs are used to us working from home so when we are out of town we hate the thought of them being alone for the majority of the day and all night with pet sitters. When we picked our girls up they were happy to see us but we could tell they were tired, loved, and well taken care of! As a perk, our younger dog got to play with Peter and Alyssa’s dogs (the older one doesn’t play as much anymore). We do not have any trips coming up but the minute we do we will book with Peter and Alyssa immediately!”
About: I stand out as a dog walker by providing a level of care that goes beyond a standard walk, focusing on reliability, communication, and personalized attention for every dog. I tailor each walk to fit the dog’s energy level, age, and temperament, while keeping owners informed with updates and photos so they feel confident and at ease. I take pride in being punctual, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s unique needs, whether that means a high-energy outing or a calm, gentle stroll. I also bring a professional yet friendly approach, building trust with both pets and their owners. By combining consistency, thoughtful extras, and genuine care, I create a positive experience that keeps both dogs happy and owners coming back. Dog walking fits naturally into my daily routine, as I already prioritize getting outside for exercise and fresh air. I’m an outdoor enthusiast who enjoys walking regularly, and having a dog as a companion makes it even more enjoyable and rewarding. I’m available after 6:00 PM Monday through Friday, as well as anytime on weekends, which allows me to provide consistent and flexible care for pet owners with busy schedules. This routine not only benefits me but ensures dogs get the attention, activity, and companionship they need on a regular basis. I would be a trustworthy dog walker because I prioritize the safety, well-being, and happiness of every pet in my care. I am reliable, punctual, and communicate clearly with owners, keeping them informed about their dog’s activities and any concerns. My experience as an outdoor enthusiast means I’m comfortable handling dogs of different energy levels and temperaments in a variety of environments. I treat each dog as an individual, providing consistent attention and care, and I take responsibility seriously, ensuring every walk is safe, enjoyable, and stress-free. Owners can have confidence knowing their pets are in capable, attentive hands.
“Perfect stay! Susan provides a wonderful, caring home. I appreciate her great communication with frequent updates, nice back yard for playing, and attention to detail. Buddy loved his time with her!”
“I cannot put into words how much I appreciate Megan. We were so nervous about leaving Libby for the first time. She put our minds at ease instantly. She did a meet and greet and then sent updates every day that we were gone. I couldn’t be more happy! I felt that Libby was very well taken care of and we will definitely use Megan again. Thank you so much for everything!!!”
“Marie is a natural…understands that all dogs have different personalities and she encourages them to be themselves. She is extremely organized and sent us the perfect amount of video & picture updates. We will definitely use her again, she is a joy to work with.”
“Savannah was great! She welcomed Charlie with open arms and an open heart! Couldn't have asked for a better caretaker! Five stars just doesn't do her justice...should be ten stars! Thank you Savannah and family! Kathryn and Milt”
“Keith and Rebecca took great care of my dog for the week. They were very responsive and sent me updates every day. Will definitely be back when I need someone to watch my dog again. Highly recommend”
About: Hi, I’m Nicole — a lifelong animal lover and self‑proclaimed helicopter dog parent. Caring for dogs isn’t just something I do — it’s who I am. My babies are in heaven now so I’ve joined rover as a pet sitter. **I kindly request if you’d like to book me, please have your rover profile filled out and photos uploaded.** I’ve spent the last decade-plus loving and supporting two very different pups with very different needs. My 16‑year‑old baby boy chihuahua Harley taught me everything about caring for a truly high‑maintenance senior dog. From medications and special feeding routines to extra snuggles, slow walks, and getting bossed around. ;) I also shared my life with my 11 year old Labrador-baby girl Lexi- who recently passed away from cancer on 5/19. Navigating that journey with her taught me deep compassion, vigilance, and emotional care. I became an expert in monitoring comfort levels, adjusting daily routines, and making every moment count. These experiences shaped the way I care for every dog who comes into my home: with attentiveness, understanding, and the same level of devotion I have given my own. • I treat your dog the way I treat mine — like family. • I am extremely attentive and present. If your pup needs something, I’m there. • Senior dogs and high‑maintenance fur babies are welcome. I get them. • Dogs are absolutely allowed on furniture — cuddles are encouraged here. • We don’t have a fence, but I’m a safety‑first sitter. I leash dogs for every potty break and stay right with them. • Because I work from home, your dog will rarely be left alone. • My home is calm, cozy, and dog friendly. I call myself a helicopter dog parent because I am very cautious- I am checking the pavement temp before walks, we aren’t walking on lawns that have chemical lawn treatment flags, I have a car hammock and dog seatbelt for rides, if I run an errand the dryer won’t be on, etc. Why I Do This I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone. They’re your heart. Your family. Your little shadow. I’ve been in your shoes many times, I’ve used Rover in the past and my goal is to give you that same peace of mind I always looked for — knowing your pup is safe, loved, and truly understood. On weekdays I go to the gym early in the morning and telework daily in my private office with a comfy dog friendly couch. Sometimes I am home on the weekends and sometimes not so it depends on when you need care. If you’re unsure just message me and I can see if I am free. :) if your dog can join us on the boat or on camping trips I can be more flexible with you. Our non-smoking home is pet friendly and I have a 12 year old daughter who loves animals. I do not have any animals in my home. For potty breaks your pet would be leashed.
“Athena was amazing with my pup while I was out of the country. Even though I didn’t have service she sent lots of pictures and videos so that when I could log on I got to see how well he was doing. She was very mindful and knowledgable about dogs that might have “issues” with anxiety, high energy levels, or anything else that may require special care. I am so happy I found her to watch him because I had peace of mind that he was in great hands while I was unreachable.”
“Sydeney was a pleasure to meet. She took great care of Murphy while we were on vacation. We received photo updates and could tell that Murphy was happy and in good hands. We will definitely keep Sydney in mind next time we need someone to watch Murphy for us.”
“Leaving behind our 5-month-old puppy for an 11-day vacation filled me with nervousness. After speaking to several people, I found Sarah, who I knew was the perfect choice. Sarah's attention to detail was impeccable - she gathered all the necessary information and maintained my puppy's routine flawlessly. Keeping us updated with photos and videos, Sarah's care provided me with peace of mind throughout my vacation. When our puppy returned home, he was just as happy and carefree as if he had never been away.”
