“This is my first time using Rover and what an amazing experience it is! Cheryl is so sweet and professional. The daily walk report cards and photos make my day!! I can tell she genuinely cares about our pup and that makes me feel so happy and comfortable. Thank you Cheryl! :)”

“Caleb is the best our dog absolutely loves him. We can’t say Caleb in the house she will run to the door barking looking for him. His approach to introducing himself to her was great she was never pushed to go at first. Due to illness I can’t walk her at the present and I couldn’t have picked a better person to take on that task. Patient, Kind and obviously loves dogs”

About: I have been around pets all my life. I grew up on a farm with several different animals. Our family favorite has always been dogs. Now, I share that enjoyment with my kids. They love being around dogs too! We enjoy walking our own dogs and playing with them. Your pet would have a loving environment with lots of attention with us! I am a stay at home mom. So, currently, I have plenty of time to schedule pet care. Please let me know when your pet needs some TLC!) We have a fenced back yard with room for dogs to go out and stretch and take care of other business:-) We have two dogs that can easily stay with family while we watch your fur baby, or our little dog, can stay to give your dog company. We will be happy to play fetch or go on walks as well.
“Sarah helped out when we needed our dog walked several days on short notice. She sent several photos each day and our dog looked really happy each time. The photos were great too. My wife and I joked that Sarah could have a future as a photographer ?”

“In the midst of my busy morning I realized I had a conflict in my schedule. I sent a request to Nikki for a walk and she immediately accepted it and made sure my girls were cared for. I was pleased she was able to take a same day request! Thank you Nikki!!”

“Annalysa has been amazing with Otis. She’s very attentive, takes the time to play with him, and genuinely cares about making sure he’s comfortable and happy. I really appreciate that she has no problem giving him food and water and pays attention to his needs while I’m away. It gives me a lot of peace of mind knowing he’s with someone patient, reliable, and caring. I highly recommend her!”

“Kayli is a life saver! I’m so grateful that she was able and willing to look after my pup on such short notice. She arrived on time, took my dog on a nice stroll around the neighborhood, and refilled his food and water bowls before leaving! Thanks for taking care of my boy!!!”

About: What sets me apart is how seriously I take caring for your pet—I treat them like they’re my own. I have a background working as a pharmacy technician and EMS training, so I’m very attentive, reliable, and comfortable handling situations that require extra care or quick thinking. I’m experienced with both puppies and senior pets, whether that means helping with basic routines and potty training or giving medications and moving at a slower, more comfortable pace. I also make it a priority to keep you updated with pictures and messages, so you always know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. Honestly, animals are a huge part of my life, so pet care fits into my routine really naturally. I love being around them, and I actually plan my days in a way that lets me give pets the time, attention, and consistency they need. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, it never feels like a chore—it’s something I genuinely enjoy. Making sure they feel comfortable, happy, and loved while you’re away is always my priority. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. During drop-in visits, I make sure they’re fed, have fresh water, get potty breaks, and of course plenty of attention and playtime. For walks, I make sure they get safe, structured exercise at a pace that fits their energy level. I’m very attentive to each pet’s needs, whether that’s giving medications, working on basic puppy routines, or taking extra time with senior pets who need a slower, gentler approach. I also respect your home, keep everything clean, and follow any instructions closely. I always send updates and pictures so you know your pet is happy and well cared for.
About: I would love the opportunity to love your fur baby! Pets are great and I appreciate all the different personalities they have to learn/adapt to! I’m a working college student, but I can stay with your pet at night and care for them in the morning before work and come back to them after work. My pets at home walk on water. Me and my family love our dogs, so I would appreciate any opportunity to love even more babies.
About: I grew up with three dogs as a kid/teen and now as an adult I have Alli, she's 6 years old and the most energetic sweet German Shepherd. I've also taken care family members pets and some neighbors. I trained Alli by myself on a basic level, she's pretty good at leading other dogs and respecting their space, and still has tons of energy to play with friends! This is my only job at the moment so rest assure your pet will be taken care and will have all the attention needed, plus Alli gets to make new friends! We have a running area and a park right across the street that is very pet friendly and safe. I like to take them on walks and play games that helps stimulation.
“Ricky did a great job! He has a calm energy and our high energy dog immediately respected him. Ricky took our Aussie on a walk and even ran with him! Yes! That was perfect for our herding dog. We will definitely hire him again.”

Watauga dog parents share their Rover experiences
Caleb is the best our dog absolutely loves him. We can’t say Caleb in the house she will run to the door barking looking for him. His approach to introducing himself to her was great she was never pushed to go at first. Due to illness I can’t walk her at the present and I couldn’t have picked a better person to take on that task. Patient, Kind and obviously loves dogs

Angelika was amazing with my 60lb pup who has a mind of his own on walks. I couldn’t have asked for a better dog walker! From the first booking, she was professional, communicative, and clearly had a love for dogs. My dog can be a little shy at first, but she was so patient and gentle that it didn’t take long for him to warm up. I will definitely be booking again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring walker. Thank you again Angelika!
