2. Brenda G.
“Brenda did a PHENOMENAL job with Pablo :) this is my first time using Rover and I was a bit confused and anxious but Brenda helped me navigate SO smoothly. My dog Pablo gets along with everyone but I could tell from the photo she sent, he was SO happy and content :) I will absolutely be rebooking with her for Pablo’s future walkies”
3. Grace H.
“Grace loves dogs and cares deeply for their well being. She is responsible, dependable and has good judgement as well as extensive experience with dogs. She was the rare kid who made lots of promises to get a dog as a child and then actually followed through on those promises. As an adult she has continued to learn about dogs and has been a great help to several different families providing pet sitting and walking. As a veterinarian myself it's been a joy to answer her questions and watch her knowledge base grow along with her love and appreciation of all animals but especially dogs.”
4. Lindsey C.
“Lindsey is amazing!! She has watched our two cats, fish, and plants for two weeks straight on three separate occasions. Our cats can be standoffish but they have become incredibly fond of her and routinely come to her for pets when she is taking care of them. She always sends pictures and videos, which I love! And she is truly fantastic at managing multiple pets. I also know that she is incredible with dogs, happy to go on long walks and play with them for a while. She’s a very precise and thorough person, so following directions for a complicated medication schedule or something similar would be easy for her. Lindsey has a natural gift for caring for animals and such a big heart. I would recommend her to anyone.”
5. Evie M.
“Evie has helped me so many times with my two pets! They absolutely adore her and so do my husband and I. She is responsive, timely, and attentive. She told me she nearly went to vet school and her love of animals is quite apparent in her engagement with them. I highly recommend her for Rover.”
6. Kyra T.
“Kyra Eli was great! He gave my pupper a nice long walk, gave him a little play time at home and made sure he had a treat before he left. 10/10 recommend - I will definitely book him again!”
7. Baylee A.
“Baylee is one of the sweetest people i know; I have never met someone who loves and cares for animals as much as she does. It is her passion.”
8. Taelyn C.

9. Olivia M.
“Olivia has taken such great care of Smokey for his dog walks! She always lets us know how the walk went and we have felt super comfortable leaving our pup in her care!! Thank you Olivia!”
10. Sammi S.
About: I have been taking care of animals in some form or another since I was five years old. Caring for animals is something I not only enjoy with passion, but excitement too. I have experience caring for many different types of animals — from rodents to fish, dogs to cats, and horses to exotic animals — both on my own time and professionally. I am currently an electrical apprentice with Local Union 159, so I’m busy until 4 pm on weekdays. However, I am available on weekday evenings and anytime on weekends! My priority is providing the best service, no matter what time of day. I am comfortable with dogs on leash or off leash in a fenced in area. I can crate your dog if needed, and I am happy to follow your regular routine to keep your pup on schedule!
11. Heather R.
“Heather Robinson has a lifetime of experience caring for pets. She had a large dog that she was responsible to feed, walk, and play with while growing up. She was the go to person in the neighborhood to care for guinea pigs, cats, and other pets when people went on vacation. She is very trustworthy and diligent and people were very comfortable having her enter their homes and care for their pets while they were away. Heather really enjoys animals and your pet will be very happy if Heather cares for it.”
12. Aurora R.
“Scott has watched my void Arnold a few times for me. Always been super respectful of his needs and hanging out with him some when I've been on vacation or out of town for whatever reason. One of the few people I trust to take care of my little guy. Would highly recommend.”
13. Anaya S.
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and started taking on responsibilities of owning a dog at the age of 10. I also worked in an animal shelter for awhile taking care of both the cats and dogs by providing thorough cleaning to cages and walking dogs of all personality types. I mainly focused on cats in the shelter and learned a lot about them that I never knew; I understand their shyness, personable traits, and much more, which eventually led me to getting my own cat! Overall, I love hanging out and providing care to all animals. Soon, I will be starting a part-time job. I do not have my schedule yet, but when I do I will update that information. On days I’m off and before or after work I would be willing to provide care in any way. In my home, I would make sure the animal staying would have access to all the necessities: food, water, toys, treats and a comfy spot to lay down if they choose. I would also ensure dogs would be taken for walks or potty breaks every 2 hours. In a client’s home, I would stop by for 30min-an hour and provide the same care.
14. Amy R.
“I love seeing the route that Franc & Amy have walked & getting the pictures & summary of their time. Franc truly looks like he is having a great time. I know he loves to be out sniffing & exploring. ”
15. Neema J.
About: I am a dog, cat and pet lover. I will stop 10/10 times to pet a dog and learn about him or her. At the local park, I know most of the dogs by their names and ironically, few of the owners haha. I would love the opportunity to spend time with someone's best friend and help out! I am very attentive, detail oriented and careful with animals. I also know animals are more than "pets" they are just like family. I would be honored to help take care of someone's best friend for a few hours or days to help out. I offer a safe, secure space for someones pet as well as close access to a park and outdoor space. I am available for walks as well as for visits or assistance on Fridays and most weekends. I believe dogs help people just as much as people help dogs! I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule to accommodate pet parents and their schedules as needed. I am able to offer short or longer walks, pet sitting and other services as needed. In my home, I have a clear open space and am able to spend close time with my clients pets while they are in my care. We are just a short distance to a small park with plenty of outside walking options. We can sit and watch tv, play catch, or take naps.
16. Maia D.
“Maia was awesome and very accommodating. I made a last minute appointment and have crazy dogs and she really did a great job! If she can handle my crazy dogs with grace she can handle anyone's well!”
17. Kendall B.
“Kendall was punctual and took out 13 yo rescue dog for a nice walk. She was sure she had refilled her water and checked your bed to be sure it was clean.”
18. Ophelia L.
“Ophelia is fantastic!! She has been our go to dog sitter for the past 6 years. She is easy to communicate with, attentive, and responsive to the unique needs of my dog. I feel confident that my dog gets plenty of love, play time, and extra long walks when she stays with Ophelia. It always makes me feel reassured when I drop my dog off for the weekend and she sprints into Ophelia’s house wagging her tail.”
19. Hillary L.
“Hillary did an amazing job walking my shy pup and quickly won her over! In addition to being amazing with my dog, Hillary did and excellent job communicating with me about how my dog did on their walks, tactics she used to help build up my dog's confidence, and Hillary even helped clean up a potted plant that my dog had knocked over one day. I would highly recommend Hillary to anyone looking for care for their pets!”
20. Gabriella G.
“Gabby adores animals and treats them with love and respect. She is responsible for care for 2 dogs, a cat, chickens, and a hamster at her home. Gabby has cared for others animals and treats them as if they are her own. She is a good communicator and she is reliable.”
