“John did an amazing job with our 120 pound dog! He sends plenty of pictures and updates during his walks which is really reassuring for an overly worried dog mom. We will definitely be rebooking with John in the future!”

About: Growing up with dogs, they have always been a part of my life. I got my own pup, Buttercup, when I was 21 and she was 4 months old, and she’s my ride or die and will be 12 this August. My husband and I rescued our puppy Izzy in February, and she is a bundle of energy at only 8 months old! With a senior dog, and a new puppy, I have plenty of experience with training, medication administration, walk/leash manners, and more. I can’t wait to spoil your pups like my own! I work from home most days, and summers are light. I have a pretty flexible schedule, and love walking around our neighborhood and the beltline I currently offer dog walking and drop-in visits only, so I care for pets in their own home, where they’re most comfortable and relaxed. During drop-ins, I make sure they’re fed (if needed), have fresh water, get plenty of love and playtime, and of course — potty breaks! For walks, I make safety my top priority, using secure leashes and paying attention to each dog’s pace and needs. I also send photo updates so you know how your pup is doing while you're away!
“My dog is very peculiar and doesn’t trust people easily but seemed to do great with Morgan! She provided a lot of pictures and feedback and seems very trustworthy. Would definitely book with her again!”


“Kate is amazing. I trust her wholeheartedly with my dog. She communicates clearly and has been flexible. She handles different situations with my dog really well, which reassures me even more. I can tell how much my dog loves her, which gives me so much peace of mind. She also went above and beyond to help when I accidentally booked incorrectly through Rover, which made a difference in price. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable and caring dog care. We appreciate her so much!!!”

About: I have taken care of and been best friends with cats and dogs all of my life. Nothing brings me more joy than loving and caring for an animal. I have collaborated with animal rescues on many occasions to provide assistance for needy animals and continue to be an advocate for animals. Pet care is something I am active in doing every day, as an owner of four cats. Every day is about feeding, watering, and litter box maintenance, in addition to plenty of love and attention (which is gladly NON-STOP). My number one priority is animal safety and owner-security. I always am very anxious leaving my animals in the hands of someone I don’t know very well and I can assure you that I will take the task of caring for your pet with the utmost importance.
About: I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all pet care. After 16 years caring for my own dog through every stage of life, I learned that every dog has their own personality, quirks, and needs. I take the time to understand your dog’s routine, preferences, and comfort level so they receive thoughtful, individualized care and feel safe, happy, and at home while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home, allowing me to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. My apartment community also has plenty of green space, making it easy to give dogs regular outdoor time and exercise while keeping them on a consistent routine. Whether I’m caring for your dog in my home or yours, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent as possible. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and any special preferences to help your dog feel comfortable and secure. In my home, dogs also have access to a dog-proofed balcony where they can safely relax and enjoy fresh air under my supervision. I’ll provide regular photo and video updates, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.
“Renee was very accommodating and thoughtful with a last minute request to watch my dog while I had to be out of town. She made this process seamless as it was my first time using Rover. She sent photos after each walk and my dog seemed to really like her. I’d definitely use her services again!”

“Lauren has such a special way of getting to know your doggies, is a true professional, great communicator and it has been a pleasure working with her. We’ve already booked her twice and now in the future.”


“Can’t recommend Jennifer enough. So nice and took such good care of my dog. And was SO communicative and detailed about everything. 10/10 recommend, will definitely use Jennifer in the future”

“Thank you for walking him! I loved all the pics you provided as well. It’s not you! we’ve been working on the potty outside but he’s on his own agenda lol i appreciate it! let’s try again tomorrow if you’re free? same time?”

About: I am a passionate animal lover with over 20 years of experience caring for both cats and dogs. Having owned 2 cats in the past and currently caring for 2 kittens I adopted from FurKids, I understand the unique needs and personalities of animals at all stages of life. My experience also extends to fostering dogs, which has given me insight into a variety of breeds and behaviors. I offer flexible pet care services, including dog walking and cat check-ins, and I am comfortable administering oral medication to cats. Working from home gives me the flexibility to provide attentive and personalized care for your pets. With a genuine love for cats and dogs and years of hands-on experience, I'm dedicated to giving your pets the best care possible while you're not around. I work from home and have a fairly flexible schedule for drop-ins and morning/lunch/evening walks. I can also provide extended play/walk time for your dog. I can provide plenty of play time, as we live very close to Piedmont Park and we have an enclosed courtyard space your pup would be free to roam and play in.

“Stephen was responsive and took excellent photos of Sarabi while watching her. He also alerted me of a problem with her treats and was willing to help out with the situation should the solution call for it, which was very much appreciated. Sarabi had a good time with him and was all smiles.”

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals for as long as I can remember—cats, and a very energetic Dalmatian who definitely kept life interesting. My love for pet care started early, and I began pet sitting around age 12 for both dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Since then, I’ve never really stopped. I’ve either had cats or dogs in my home my entire life, and caring for animals has always been a natural part of who I am. Today, I share my home with my two pups—a 6-year-old Maltipoo and a 2-year-old Schnoodle—who keep me laughing, active, and constantly reminded of how unique every pet’s personality can be. I’m happiest when I’m around animals, and I treat every pet I care for like one of my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, snuggles, or just keeping their routine consistent and comfortable, I focus on making sure they feel safe, loved, and at home while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I take that responsibility seriously—while still bringing plenty of love, patience, and fun to every visit! Pet care fits naturally into my daily life because I’m currently not working a traditional job, which means I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to your pets. I’m able to provide consistent attention, care, and companionship throughout the day, whether that’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping your pet company and making sure they feel comfortable and secure. When caring for pets in your home, I focus on keeping them happy, safe, and comfortable in their familiar space. I follow your routine closely for feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions so your pet feels secure and cared for. I take time to understand each pet’s unique personality and adjust my care to match—whether that means active play, calm companionship, or extra cuddles. I also treat your home with respect and make sure everything is left clean and as you left it. My goal is simple: happy pets, peace of mind for you, and care you can fully trust while you’re away.
“Stacie walked and fed our dogs twice a day for 3 days while we were out of town. She was very patient gaining the trust of our two frenchies and even cleaned up after them if accidents occurred in our home. She took pictures and gave detailed reports after every walk. We were so surprised she got our suspicious girl frenchie to like her just after a couple of walks. We’ll definitely be booking with her in the future!”

“I’m so pleased with how Jazmyn took care of my pup. She communicated frequently and was super responsive to my needs. He warmed up to her very quickly. I will be booking her for weekly walks and drop-ins.”

“My dog Coco enjoyed her walk with Sammi. Sammi was very responsive and she provided outstanding service. She took lots of photos during their walk. I will definitely book with Sammi again.”


“My experience with Brooke was outstanding. She provided wonderful care for my dog while I was out of town. I will book with Brooke again and again five star all the way. Great communication and reliable, response to any questions or concerns quickly.”

“Myrical has been an excellent walker for my dog Cash. She is reliable and communicative, and it puts my mind at ease knowing that my pup is in good hands while I can’t be home.”

Nathan came through for me at the very last minute and gave my babygirl what she needed. After losing another pet just days before I really needed someone flexible, trustworthy, and kind. Nathan was just that. I lucked up and he definitely made this transition a bit easier.

Mikyah was absolutely amazing! This was my first time using Rover, and she completely exceeded my expectations. She was punctual, professional, and took such wonderful care of my Golden Retriever, Windsor. She followed every instruction perfectly, made sure Windsor got a great walk, and treated her with so much love and kindness. It gave me such peace of mind knowing Windsor was in caring, capable hands while I was away. Communication was excellent from start to finish, and it was clear that Mikyah genuinely loves animals. I came home to a happy, relaxed pup, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend Mikyah to anyone looking for a trustworthy, dependable, and compassionate dog walker. I will definitely be booking with her again. Thank you, Mikyah, for taking such great care of my sweet Windsor! 🐾❤️

Lauren has been amazing with my dog, Chrissy! She is always reliable, on time, and spends quality time with her during every visit. Chrissy absolutely loves her, which says everything. Lauren has also gone above and beyond, helping me out with last-minute house sitting and always being incredibly thoughtful and accommodating. She’s communicative, dependable, and someone I completely trust with my dog. I couldn’t recommend her more for dog walking or pet sitting!

I honestly can’t say enough good things about Jiayi. From the very beginning, she was kind, reliable, and incredibly patient with my dog. He can be a little anxious and slow to warm up to new people, but she took the time to earn his trust instead of rushing the process, and it made all the difference. She always kept me updated with photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was obvious she genuinely cared about my dog and wasn’t just checking a box. When I came home, he was happy, well cared for, and comfortable, which says everything. If you’re looking for someone who is dependable, communicative, and truly loves animals, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Jiayi. I feel really lucky to have found her, and I’ll definitely be booking with her again.

She was excellent and very trustworthy, with no hassle at all and easy to communicate with. She came and walked each dog for a good amount of time to get their jitters out. She gave me an opportunity for a worry free trip and I booked VERY LAST MINUTE. She actually saved my trip by accepting and kept me on time with her quick responses. Highly Recommend! Will be using her in the future!
