She kept us updated every step of the way with photos and thoughtful messages that showed just how much she genuinely cared about our dog, despite him still being a crazy puppy. I think it's rare to find someone so attentive and considerate. She asked great questions before the stay, took the time to learn our dog’s quirks and preferences, and made sure he felt right at home. I can’t recommend Brittany enough. Her professionalism, kindness, and thoughtfulness truly set her apart. We'll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Joseph was very communicative and shared pictures of our pups with us daily. He followed all directions we gave him and made sure our pups feel at home under his care.

“I always get nervous leaving my 1 year old pup with someone new, but Elizabeth was absolutely wonderful and exceeded all my expectations. I could tell immediately that she’s a dog person, and she sent me tons of updates throughout the day. I’m so grateful for her and will be booking again next time I need daycare!”

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.
“My Luna 🐾 came home ready to be “mellow” and take a nap… that tells me she can’t wait to come back again! I am SO glad to have found you for future “outings” for Luna… Matthew & family, we will see you again soon. Thank you, Luna🐾 & Mary”
“Iuliia sent pictures and was very communicative throughout our dogs stay! It was a great experience having Pepper stay with her and we will definitely be back.”
“Jax and I have newly discovered Shane, and he is wonderful! He lives in the neighborhood so is an easy walk, and Jax comes home tired which is always the goal. Highly recommend!”
“Abigail and Cole were absolutely wonderful with our pup. They are friendly, communicative, and clearly treated our dog like their own. We came home to a happy, relaxed pup and felt at ease the entire time knowing he was in such good hands. Highly recommend Abigail and Cole to anyone looking for reliable and caring pet sitters!”
“Matthew is wonderful! He made sure my dog had a stress free day with lots of love and walks. He sent some updated throughout the day. Highly recommend. Easy to work with!”
“Yejin accommodated miley on short turnaround notice the evening prior to the stay. She took miley out on an outdoor adventure and gave her all the attention she needed. Pictures were provided at the end of the day care. I recommend Yejin to any rover clients in need of a sitter!”
About: Currently work as a Pediatric Physician Assistant and love doing Rover on the side! I raised a puppy when I was 11 years old who lived for a really long time before she passed and now currently have a 2 adopted rescue from South Korea. I’ve been doing Rover with all different types of dogs. I love getting my steps in and would love to have another friend join me whether in the hot or cold weather. Currently working full time and have more time to spend with other dogs on the weekends! I would love meet your dog and give them all the love. I love getting my steps in so we could go on walks together, but also if your dog just needs some attention at home I would love to stop by and let them on a bathroom break and give them lots of love!
“KIMBERLY IS THE BEST!!! She took the most amazing care of my pup Casper yesterday. He came home happy, tired, and with a huge smile on his face. She was super communicative and an awesome sitter. Not to mention the pictures she shared — she should become a pet photographer!”
“Zeki had such a great time with Charlie! It was a good experience for me as well, as Jessie and Erick are super communicative and great dog parents. We hope to see them again soon!”
“Chynna did a great job with my 4 month old puppy for daycare! She was very responsive, sent great pictures, and my pup had the best time romping around for four hours with Chynna's two resident dogs. I would definitely book again!”
“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!”
“Kathryn was great with Jasper. He played with her dog and had a nice walk. Probably got a bit spoiled as well. Definitely will be using Kathryn again in the near future.”
About: Dogs have been my whole heart for as long as I can remember. I have 10+ years of hands on care and a lifetime of loving them. I share my home with my own 80lb Bernedoodle, who's wonderfully social and great with other dogs, so visiting pups feel right at home from the start. I'm experienced with puppy training and socialization, and I'm comfortable giving medications, so dogs with extra needs are in safe, steady hands. I don't have a yard, but there are plenty of parks nearby that I visit often, so your pup gets real walks and proper playtime rather than wandering alone. Best of all, I have the time to give them my full attention and plenty of cuddles. I'd love to hear about your dog! Reach out anytime to set up a meet-and-greet. So here's the good news for your pup: I'm currently funemployed, which is just a fancy way of saying your dog has my full, undivided, no-meetings-to-rush-to attention. I've cared for every size and personality of dog—from pocket-sized lap warmers to gentle giants—and I treat each one like my own. That means real walks, real playtime, and a watchful eye on the stuff that matters: feeding schedules, meds, and knowing when a dog just needs a quiet cuddle! Whether your dog stays with me, I come to your home, or I drop in for visits and walks, my goal is always the same: to keep your pup comfortable, safe, and happy on their own terms. I offer boarding, house sitting, doggy day care, and drop-in visits and walks. Rather than a one-size-fits-all routine, I follow each dog's own rhythm, matching their usual feeding times, walks, play, and rest so nothing feels unfamiliar. In my home, your dog becomes part of the family alongside my friendly 80lb Bernedoodle. In your home, I keep their space and routine just as they know it. And throughout the day, I'll send photos and texts so you can see those happy tail wags for yourself =)

“Charlotte was amazing and took good care of our Badger (1yr rat terrier) when she took her for two daily walks while we were out of town. She was very communicative the whole time and sent plenty of photos and gave us any updates. She also took the time to come meet us the week before so she could get acquainted with Badger and our place. I can’t recommend her enough!”
“Emma is a thoughtful, committed and patient dog walker. She communicates with me about each walk and provides detailed information about my dog’s demeanor and activity during it. She’s also good at enforcing our rules and disciplining our dog when he barks too much.”
“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.”
“Erin was fantastic! She was a great communicator, reliable, and updated us following her walk. She gave us peace of mind and made us feel completely comfortable knowing our Thurgie was well cared for. We came home to a happy pup and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We’d definitely book with Erin again and highly recommend her to others!”
“Emily is great! Very dependable, communicative and kind. She is our daily dog walker and sometimes house sits when I am out of town as well. I am very thankful that we found her and for all her help.”
“We recently started using Noah as our weekly dog walker and it has been great so far. He is very reliable and attentive to detail when it comes to the instructions that we left him. Would definitely recommend!”
“Jackson always does a wonderful job with my dog. He is a trustworthy person and truly a dog lover. I couldn’t ask for a better walker to walk my dog. Thank you so much Jackson!”
About: I've walked dogs for friends before, and I really enjoy exploring new neighborhoods with canine friends! I also have two cats at home and often feed/scoop for them, so I'm ready for whatever your feline brings my way! :) I have not done much pet sitting yet, but I'd love to get some experience while playing with and caring for your pets. I'm great at following instructions to a T, and your pet will be my top priority when caring for them. I'm currently not working, so I have all day, every day to care for your pets. I can build my personal schedule around your pet's needs. I have two cats and love playing with them or keeping an eye on them while they run around the house. I will, of course, provide the same attention to your pets and make sure they get the safe-keeping they deserve! As for dogs specifically: I walk quite a bit anyway, and adding a pup to my strolls will only encourage me onward.
About: Proud owner of an 11 year old pit mix named Bacon. I’ve taken care of pets since I was 5, raising a few wonderful dogs. They are welcome addition to my life regardless of age, breed or quirks (we know everyone has something!). I work nights, working between 3pm till late. I love short and long walks and would absolutely love to be your lunchtime walker! I’m happy to work anytime in the morning or afternoon. I know the importance of being a diligent care giver. I’ll be very supportive of your house rules to ensure a your pet has a stable environment to thrive.
About: I'm the trusted friend everyone relies on to look after their dogs and I love it! From puppies to seniors, your paws are in good hands. Flexible schedule for boarding and daycare in my home. Or, I'm happy to house sit while you're traveling so your pup can stay in their home. Safety is paramount, and your fur baby and home are my priorities. I live in a very dog-friendly community surrounded by walking trails and dog parks. However, if napping is your pup's priority, my couch is theirs!
“Thomas was so quick to respond to every question, and very flexible. Our big girl is nervous, but Thomas did a wonderful job gaining her trust and was so patient with her. Will definitely book again!”
“Ann is a wonderful caregiver for pets. It's clear how much she loves dogs. She was an excellent communicator from the very first message to the report after walking a highly energetic lab. She handled all of the quirks while making sure my dog got a good walk and was well taken care of. Highly recommend.”
“Crisa was such a help in such a short time. She took notes of what my fur kids need it, and asked good questions. Definitely keep conversation going during the visit vs giving up on my older dog. My girls love her specially with her bringing them a lovely treat. What a good gesture. Will definitely recommend her any time and book her again for any future needs. Thank you Crisa”
“Cindy is amazing! I loved how we had an introduction call the night before for logistics and my Coraline looked so happy on her walk with her new friend Bentley!”
