“Elizabeth is amazing! She treated our pup Ollie like one of her own and made his stay feel like a true vacation. From fun adventures and plenty of playtime to the sweetest snuggles, it's clear she genuinely loves animals and goes above and beyond to make them feel safe, happy, and loved. She sent us the cutest photos and videos throughout his stay, which we looked forward to every day. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Ollie had the best time, and we’re so grateful to have found her!”
“This is my pets second time and he does so well with Kelly. My Shih Tzu is very anxious and skiddesh and Kelly handles him with gentle care! I recommend Kelly to everyone!”
“Rae took good care of Jax. She took him in after a very last minute request from me to board for a weekend and was communicative. Would recommend her for anyone needing dog care boarding.”
“Nina is fantastic!! She was very attentive and affectionate with Cesare, sending me messages, photos, and videos so I could see how he was doing, which made me feel very happy and relieved. Cesare was very happy in every video, playing and receiving affection from her. Cesare will definitely be going back to Nina's house.”
“Jennifer and Louis are FANTASTIC. They are Dolly's home away from home. I feel 100% at ease with Dolly in Jennifer's 24 hour care. Dolly has stayed with Jennifer before - and just now for 2 weeks and I will fly up from Florida for Dolly to stay with Jennifer and Louis when my family and I travel Internationally in October. Jennifer communicates, send pictures and keeps us informed. We love Jennifer and Dolly is always happy to see her and Louis.”
“Matthew treated our pups like they were his own. They were super happy and very well taken care of. Fantastic communication. Easy going and easy to work with. My pups already want to go back. Thanks for the fantastic experience!”

“Ollie has the best time with Donna and always comes back so happily tired! And we love all the adorable updates she sends. Ollie is excited to head back to Donna’s next week for more fun!!”
“Katie did a great job taking care of our dog Kobe. She was very diligent about sending pictures and responded quickly to any messages sent to her. I think Kobe enjoyed his stay with Katie and Henry. He seemed stress free and relaxed when we got him home. Glad we found them.”
“We are so glad to find Jodee and Aj! Very caring and attentive sitters who made sure to update us. They took the time to learn about Bear and make sure they made his stay alittle vacation ✨ Definitely recommend Jodee and AJ!”
“I’ve sent my dog Rory to stay with Michelle and her family several times now, and she does such a good job that I think he likes her place better than mine! See you next time, Michelle (and baby, cats, and pup!)”
“Francise was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Ollie! She took him on lovely walks around town, helped him meet new people, and made sure he got plenty of exercise and attention. It was clear she genuinely cared about his happiness and well-being. I came home to a very content pup! I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”
“Allie is wonderful! She has watched my pup twice and each time I’ve felt confident he is being very well taken care of. She was also incredibly understanding after weather delayed my flight home and I had to pick him up much later than expected. Would highly recommend!”
“This was my first time using the service and can truly say that I was VERY SATISFIED in choosing Nani. This was Gizmo's first time being boarded at someone's home with other dog friends to play and socialize with. Upon meeting her, Gizmo ran towards her which gave me a warm feeling that he liked her. During the stay, Nani sent me daily updates with photos and videos on how Gizmo was doing and their daily tasks which was heart warming knowing my fur baby was in good hands. I will be using Nani again for future boarding as Gizmo looks forward to more play dates with Mr. Leon and Miss Leah.”

“I couldn’t be happier with my experience with Eduardo and Suseth! From the moment I dropped Paxton off, I knew he was in the best hands. Eduardo and Suseth treated my fur baby like their own, providing the perfect balance of play, care, and love. Paxton came home happy, tired, and clearly well cared for. The communication was excellent, with updates and photos that kept me in the loop and reassured me that my pup was having a blast. It’s clear they are passionate providing care to pups! This was my first time using Rover and as long as Eduardo and Suseth continue providing services, I’ll continue enlisting them for my favorite little guy 🐾.”

About: My first two rescues were Rottweilers my third and only child is the child that my mom blessed me with. She is a needy, loving girl but high energy so I’ve dealt with everything from couch potato to high Strong lovely I work from home and my height energy baby is used to go out multiple times a day and she is great with any dog she needs. I don’t have a fenced yard, but I am very active walking them in the neighborhood and we will always make time to go out. We are sidekick and we go walking together, dog parks together, but also she has not ever met a dog that she doesn’t love. Even those in the neighborhood that don’t get along with others love her. I do not have kids, but my nieces who are 5 to 9 or around her often so she is great with them, but I also understand those that don’t want their dog around kids so I will not bring them around them if they are uncomfortable.
About: I I’ve grown up caring for dogs—especially large breeds—and genuinely love spending time with them. I’d be thrilled to help care for your dog and make sure they feel safe, happy, and well-loved while you’re away. I’m a registered nurse and work just three days a week, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time at home to provide attentive, reliable care. I am comfortable and experience in giving all types of medications as well and as a nurse I am very attentive to detail! I also have a Bernese Mountain Dog puppy of my own, Nola, so I’m very familiar with the needs, energy, and personalities of bigger dogs. We spend a lot of time playing in our backyard aince it is fully fenced, front and back, and going on neighborhood walks, and I’d love to include your pup in the fun! We have a huge backyard that your pup can enjoy and a playmate as well! Look forward to taking care of your pups :) I am currently looking for something part-time to pick up and help out here and there when it is convenient in my current weekly schedule I am a very trustworthy and organized person. Being on time is key as well as being able to fulfill the tasks that is expected.
About: Hi there! I’m Grant - my wife and I are huge dog lovers. In April of 2025, we lost our first dog, Moose, a 90lb golden retriever mix. To honor his memory, we began a fostering journey. We successfully fostered out 5 dogs (3 of them seniors) to their forever homes over the next year (including the 5th one, who became our own!). We are aquatinted with all kinds and sizes with dogs. It’s been an honor to get to know each one and explore their unique personalities! We currently have 2 dogs of our own at home: Ellie, a 3yo petite Great Pyrenees, and Charlie, a 2yo Australian Shepherd. They LIVE for playing with other dogs - we’d love to host your pup and provide them a happy, fun, safe space to stay while you are away. Do you have a big dog? Are you anxious about it pulling your dog walker? I’ve got experience with large dogs pulling and I can handle yours. I will give them the distance and space they need to have a happy and safe walk. I get anxious when we have others look after our dogs. Anything could happen. Know that I will bring every bit of care and safety to your dog that I bring to mine every day. They’re valuable members of your family and I will treat them as such. Please reach out with any questions. Thank you! I work from home when I am not traveling for work, so am fairly flexible during the day and week. Just let me know the time and we’ll see if it works! My own dog is like my child. I know that you feel the same way about yours. I will follow all instructions to a T. I am passionate about safety about my own dog - I will bring that level of care to you.
“Kamryn did an excellent job taking care of my dog Cooper! She is very welcoming and clearly cares for the animals she works with. I felt peace of mind leaving Cooper in her care and wouldn’t hesitate to do so again. Would highly recommend!”
About: I have three years old golden doodle. We have scheduled potty walk and play time at least three times per day. I might spoil your dog with good caring ❤️ Morning potty walk / lunch play & walk (30-40mins) / evening play &walk (30-40mins) + before bed time pee walk. Also scheduled meal time after walk. I keep dogs happy but also safe. I normally share photos of your dog regularly to make sure you know your dog’s doing well through Rover app.

“Elena was amazing with my dog! Not only was she sweet to Josie, but she was communicative, organized, and kind. It made my whole week better knowing that I didn’t have to worry about my dog. I’ll definitely rebook!!”
“Zeynep is a wonderful dog walker for our little pup. She's very patient with her, very responsive, and goes out of her way to care for Disco. Our dog adores her!”
“Mounia was fantastic! Great communication throughout, lots of photos, and really patient with both me and my pup - which is especially appreciated since we just moved to the neighborhood. Will definitely book again!”
“Paul is the best dog walker I’ve ever had. He’s incredibly reliable: he answers messages promptly, is always on time for walks, and as a bonus, is a genuinely kind person. I have a 100lb. dog and Paul is able to walk him without issue, and can even wrangle him into his rain coat! I would trust Paul with caring for any animal. Before he leaves everyday, he fills up the water bowl and has never once forgotten. I truly cannot recommend Paul enough.”
“Nathan has been walking my dog, Obi, consistently 3 days per week for two weeks and has done a great job! He was patient with my initially skeptical dog and Obi has come to trust him and enjoys their walks! I recommend Nathan's services if you are looking for a dog walker or other support with your dog.”
“Carolina was an amazing dog walker for my dog Katie!! My dog loved her and I could tell she really cared about Katie too. She was so kind, flexible, and understanding when my dog developed a terminal illness and took incredible care of her. She was attentive to her needs and communicative with me. All the way until the end of Katie’s time here, she was very caring. It made a tough situation easier knowing I had someone I really trusted who cared about Katie taking care of her. I highly recommend Carolina!”
“Hilary was great with our pug! She was reliable and provided updates and was even able to get our girl back in her crate after her walk, when she can be a bit stubborn. She was communicative and made booking and everything easy! Will definitely book Hilary again!”
“Emma was super sweet! She agreed to walk our dog on a very short notice (1 day), arrived on time and even spent extra 5 minutes walking him. Additionally, she kindly offered to wipe the paws since it was wet outside. Outstanding service! I’m happy to have found an excellent walker on our first try. We will order more services moving forward!”
About: I’ve been caring for a pet dog for the past year and have gained experience with daily routines like walks/runs, feeding, playtime, and making sure dogs feel comfortable and cared for. I genuinely enjoy being around animals and always try to create a calm, positive environment for them. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I’m available during all of the days and times marked as available on my Rover calendar. I keep my calendar up to date so owners can rely on my availability. When I accept a booking, I make sure each pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they need while their owners are away. Creating a safe and comfortable environment for pets is very important to me. Over the past year caring for a dog, I’ve learned how important routines, patience, and attentiveness are for helping pets feel secure and relaxed. I’ll always follow instructions carefully and make sure your pet is treated with care, attention, and respect.

“Peter has been so great with my dog Milo! He has a history of anxiety and is not always great with other dogs, but Peter has been so patient with him despite his quirks! I look forward to continue booking him for future care needs :)”
“Adriana is very responsive and timely with her communication. She is a very fast walker, so your dog is sure to get their exercise in and a good quality walk as well. I appreciate her professionalism and availability!”
About: I have taken care of pets of every kind since I was in high school. I pet sat for neighbors, family, and friends alike and have grown up with dogs and cats throughout my life. I currently have one pug (my pride and joy), Luna. She is very well behaved and loves company. I look forward to taking care of your fur babies, whether that is a drop in visit, evening walk, or a play date with Luna. My schedule is currently open and flexible. I’m available Monday through Friday throughout the day with occasional weekend availability. Looking forward to caring for your pets! I have a small fenced-in yard, perfect for small or medium to dogs and live close to many parks for them to enjoy. I have an adorable, friendly pug named Luna to keep them company.
