“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.”


“Kate is the absolute gold standard in animal care! She is very communicative and flexible. My older dog Miki absolutely adored their walks together. I highly recommend Kate to anyone who needs cordial and professional animal services.”
“Lauren has been excellent with our dog. She is highly communicative, very caring, and takes extra time to make sure our pup is cared for. I’ve been really happy knowing that our dog is in very good hands. I would highly recommend Lauren and will continue to have her help us out with our dog. 5/5 stars!”

“Melanie (Mel) is an awesome dog walker. She was patient with our two pups and always on time. She has a very calming energy around dogs and it's obvious from the first time you meet her that she is a true animal lover. Thanks Mel!”


“Jennifer came through for Dani while I was away and provided great communication and photos to make sure my baby was taken care of! I know Dani is in good hands with her”


“Maya was fantastic!! So nice and very communicative. I absolutely felt like my dog was in great hands. Would definitely use Maya again and would highly recommend to a friend!!”

“I’ve had a great experience with Melissa. She is always reliable, takes excellent care of my dog, and gives me peace of mind when I’m away. One thing I especially appreciate is the number of photos she sends during walks and visits. It’s so nice to see updates and know my dog is happy and well cared for. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she works with, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive dog walker.”

About: I’ve been around dogs for most of my life and genuinely enjoy caring for them. My family has had our dog, Othello (a schnauzer mix), since 2013, so I’m very familiar with daily routines like feeding, walking, and making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for at home. In 2019, I also helped co-parent and train a pitbull named Bella, where I focused on reinforcing good behavior, consistency, and building trust. That experience taught me patience and how to understand a dog’s needs and personality. I’ve also cared for pets belonging to friends and family, so I’m comfortable adjusting to different temperaments, routines, and energy levels. What sets me apart is that I’m very attentive, calm, and reliable. I take the time to make sure each pet feels safe and cared for, and I always treat them with the same level of attention I would give my own. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, especially since I’m currently finishing college online, which gives me a flexible schedule throughout the week. This allows me to plan my day around walks, check-ins, and feeding times without feeling rushed. I’m available on both weekdays and weekends, and I’m able to adjust to different schedules depending on the pet’s needs. I also make sure to leave enough time between commitments so I can give each pet my full attention and provide consistent care. I take pet care seriously and treat it as a real responsibility, so you can count on me to be reliable, communicative, and attentive. When caring for pets, I always focus on creating a safe, calm, and consistent environment that matches what they’re used to. I take the time to understand their routine, including feeding schedules, walks, and any specific behaviors or needs, so they feel as comfortable as possible. In a pet owner’s home, I’m very respectful of their space and make sure everything is kept clean and in order. I follow all instructions closely and make sure pets are supervised, safe, and secure at all times. I’m also very attentive to small details, like making sure doors and gates are properly closed, pets are not exposed to anything unsafe, and their environment stays clean especially with things like food areas and litter boxes. Communication is really important to me, so I always send regular updates and photos to keep pet owners informed and reassured while they’re away. My goal is to make sure both the pet and the owner feel completely comfortable and at ease.
“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.”

“Anika is great! I had some issues at work this week that I wasn’t able to be by my phone and she was able to creatively find a solution so my pup could have a walk and visit with her. We are eternally grateful!”


“Brooke is awesome!!! She is so sweet and easy to work with. I love that I know my dog is genuinely being loved on and given lots of attention. I’m so grateful for her!”


“Caroline was booked on a last minute booking and was extremely accommodating. She came over a few days before hand to meet my pup and allow them to become acclimated to each other during their walk. Caroline was very communicative and responsive to my inquiries as well.”


“Grace was great with our pup Beacon. She was very patient with him and can tell she truly loves dogs. She took him on a good walk and provided us with plenty of updates. We look forward to having Grace walk Beacon 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: Welcome everyone, my name is Amaya and I'm 26 years old. Working with animals has always been something I'm very passionate about. With 6+ years of pet care experience anything that has to do with caring/saving animals I'm all in! I recently just landed my dream job so I no longer work in the emergency room saving fur babies so having rover is another way for me to stay connected doing what I love! My work schedule is different every month but no need to worry! Just reach out to me and we’ll figure something out that works for us both. I offer caring services in your home! With that being said whatever rules and regulations you have I will follow! Whatever suits you and your fur babies needs :)
About: Of course, I’ve been taking care of animals from a young age. From cats to dogs to birds. I love them all! And love is the #1 requirement for caring for our pets. I recently lost my dog and want to give back to my community and share the love I used to carry for her. My hours are flexible! So I can fit into your schedule when you yourself are busy. If you’re on a night out I can be there to make sure they’re cared for! I’d love to hear any specific needs your fur babies have. No task is too small for the ones we consider our family. I’m very attentive and naturally curious so I’ll learn their behaviors pretty quick!
“I got SO lucky finding Stacie! She’s an incredibly kind person clearly loves dogs! My pup, Zoey, came back from a long walk happy but tired, and Stacie clearly made Zoey feel so comfortable being around her since day 1! I’ll be using Stacie many more times in the future.”


About: I am experienced with all levels of dog care, ranging from staying overnight to watch my neighbors golden retriever to walking my cavapoo daily. I love all kinds of dogs and am fully experienced in whatever job you may need! I am a college student currently home for the summer, so I am completely free to help you out whatever way you may need or see fit! At home I am very used to using a crate and a leash to care for and walk my dog around the neighborhood, while also having experience letting my dog play in our fenced backyard and lay on our couch. Overall whichever lifestyle fits your home better I am experienced and ready to adapt!

Nima is the absolute best! I couldn’t recommend her enough. I know that Lilly is taken care of each week by the sweetest human ever. She’s always tracking their walks, taking pictures, and sending updates! Her communication and thoughtfulness are unmatched. We are so thankful for you, Nima! :)

Lauren is so great!! She has walked my pup a few times now (a couple being last minute asks) and she has been so amazing! She spent extra time with my girl after the walks to get her settled back in which I really appreciate on days where I’m gone for work for hours. She is very communicative with me every step of the way too!

I’ve had to find a walker for my dog for my long work days and entrusting a new person always makes me nervous but Cindy has been great. She’s mindful of the heat and spends the time Ember doesn’t want to be outside, throwing toys and playing with her. This is something Ember has been doing less of as she’s gotten older so she must like her time with Cindy! Will def continue to book in the future!

Shams was wonderful with our pup! She was very attentive, reliable, and easy to communicate with throughout the process. I always appreciated the updates and knew our dog was in good hands. She followed instructions carefully and made the whole experience easy. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable walker or sitter.
