âStefanie was great with our little pup! He absolutely adored his walks and is looking forward to his next time with Stefanie! She was always prompt and sent us updates that we always laughed at!â

âIt was our first time having Hanaya help us out and she was upbeat and positive from the beginning. She cared for my two CKCSâs like they were her own. She shows a true love for dogs and her experience with them shows. I highly recommend her!â

About: I truly love dogs and treat them like family. I currently have a puppy that I care for and train daily using positive reinforcement. Through this experience, I have developed strong skills in routine care, structure, and understanding dog behavior. I provide multiple daily walks (usually 3â4 per day), playtime, and mental stimulation using puzzle toys, interactive games, and enrichment activities. I focus on creating a safe, calm, and loving environment where dogs feel comfortable and secure. I am patient, attentive, and very detail-oriented when it comes to pet care. I understand how important routine, consistency, and emotional comfort are for dogs. I have a flexible weekly schedule that allows me to be available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet care throughout the day. I only study part-time in the mornings two days a week, so I have plenty of time to focus on caring for dogs. I already have a daily routine that includes multiple walks with my own puppy, so adding walks and care for other dogs fits naturally into my schedule. I truly enjoy spending time outdoors and making sure dogs get the exercise, attention, and love they need. I provide multiple daily walks (3â4 times per day), playtime, and mental stimulation using puzzle toys, interactive games, and enrichment activities. I am patient, attentive, and focused on creating a safe, calm, and loving environment for every pet. I understand how important routine, consistency, and clear communication are for dogs to feel comfortable and secure.
About: I am a life long lover of all animals and am looking to share my time and dog love with others! I have experience caring for and living with dogs and cats of all sizes and temperaments, so I understand how unique each one can be in their personality and needs. I work full time, but my hybrid schedule allows for flexibility to be available at most hours on my home days, in addition to the general early morning and later afternoon availability. On fridays and the weekend, I have open availability all hours. I always prefer to allow you as the owner the opportunity to share as much as you can about your petâs unique personality and quirks, to ensure I can adjust my approach with them accordingly.
âNicole was fabulous I expect at a minimum that dog walkers would be good with dogs, but what really makes the difference is theyâre able to navigate challenges and get the job done. It provides a lot of peace of mind. Not only did Nicole navigate my complicated building but she got what was once a very timid puppy to be less afraid. Nicole is a star.â

âStephanie is an outstanding care taker for our baby Phoebe. She goes above and beyond to make sure our anxious pup feels comfortable and safe. She pays very close attention to detail and takes care of Phoebe as if she were her own. Couldnât recommend her more!â

About: Since I was ~12, my neighbors would always bring their dogs for me to watch/walk while they were on vacation. More recently, I have also walked friends and neighbors dogs while they are at work (I work remote). I work remote in a flexible job, so Iâm able to give lots of attention to your dog. I can walk them 4+ times per day depending on your needs, I live right near grass if they only want to go out to pee, and I am a 1 min walk from a small dog park if they love to run off leash. I live in an apartment with my own dog, so I always make sure everything is pet friendly - no harmful cleaning chemicals, air filters, only dog treats. I even have a reverse osmosis water filter to give your doggo luxury water :)
âWeâve just finished our 2nd week with Katie! And itâs been amazing. Sheâs wonderful with my little pup and gives the best updates. Weâre excited to continue using Katie.â

About: I have always been an avid animal lover, especially a dog lover, and I have always owned dogs. I started dogsitting after I graduated from college to make some money, and I immediately fell in love with it. Being able to provide a loving environment while you're away is very important for the animals, and I strive to be the best at it. My skills include dog sitting, walking, playing, and cuddling. I will also take great care of your home and treat it with respect. I also think it is important to keep the client informed of what is going on so I do like to check in. I have experience in both dogsitting and house sitting and this would let me showcase that. I currently own a Cat and turtle and feed them daily. I also clean the litter box every two days. I also help clean the turtle tank. I would follow the walking schedule for each dog and also adhere to the feeding guidelines. For a cat I would also follow the feeding guidelines and cleaning.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my lifeâIâve had cats for as long as I can remember and have spent the past 15 years caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. Iâm especially experienced with large breeds, pit bulls, and senior dogs who need a little extra patience and attention. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family, and I treat every pet as if they were my ownâwith care, comfort, and consistency. Whether itâs playtime, a walk, or a quiet evening in, I make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and at home I have a full time job but work from home every Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. We have a cozy house and yard and am happy to drop by! I have a super fun and well behaved (big) dog named Louie, who is a huge softy but a lot of fun. We also have a loving cat named Woodstock! We also have a separate floor I can keep the animals on if necessary.
About: Experience caring for dogs, cats, & rodents Capable of administering medication Comfortable accommodating additional needs I sometimes think I like animals more than people, so you can trust theyâll be well taken care of! I am a weekend nanny and work from home as a media & marketing assistant. Rover helps with extra income and getting active outside, away from my computer! I do not give the option to personally house-sit pets due to the fact that I still live with some of my family members, my apologies!
âMelissa was wonderful with my dog! She is such a loving spirit and I knew Micah was cared for during his time with her! She was super patient and caring even when my dog was overly energetic and hyper.â

âWendy is fantastic. She walked my dog all week (who isnât always the easiest dog to take on walks) but did a great job and gave him a great workout. She showed up on time, went for good leisurely walks and let me know if anything was amiss. One day my pup wasnât feeling well and she even stayed late to make sure he was ok and settled in! Would definitely recommend especially if you need a repeat walker.â

âKatharine is absolutely wonderful! Sheâs reliable, caring and clearly loves dogs. My dog is so excited every time she arrives, and I always know heâs in great hands. She sends updates and photos after each walk. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and kind!â

About: I'm a lifelong dog lover with experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and energy levels. Growing up with two dogs of my own, I've always been surrounded by animals whether it's through family, friends, and dog sitting during the holidays. As an avid walker, I truly enjoy spending time outdoors, and I'm excited to share that passion with your pet. I take pride in being reliable, professional and always putting the safety and well-being of your dog as my top priority. If there's anyway I can assist with your pet's needs, I'd love the opportunity to help them stay happy and healthy! I work from home Monday through Friday, 9AM - 5PM, with a flexible schedule. I take short or extended breaks every 2-3 hours, giving me plenty of opportunities to step outside and care for your pet. I live in a two-bedroom, non-smoking apartment with no children, offering a quiet and safe environment for your pet. The apartment complex features a fenced-in dog park.
Waterside dog parents share their Rover experiences
I recently used Nicole to have a meet /greet and walk my dog Aria. I couldn't be happier with the experience! Aria is anxious and Nicole was warm and incredibly reliable and professional during her time with Aria. Aria responded so well to her ease and confidence. She seems to have a special way with dogs; Aria was happy and relaxed. I highly recommend Nicole to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive dog sitter!

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Arianne. She was our regular dog walker for Boosh and Graham, and we are genuinely heartbroken that sheâs moving away. From day one, Arianne was incredibly reliable â always prompt, on time, and extremely communicative. We never once had to worry when the dogs were in her care. What truly set Arianne apart was the way she cared for our dogs as if they were her own. She was attentive, thoughtful, and clearly took the time to understand their personalities and needs. Boosh and Graham absolutely adored her, and it was obvious how comfortable and happy they were with her. Arianne consistently went above and beyond, whether through detailed updates, photos, or simply the peace of mind she gave us knowing our dogs were safe, loved, and well cared for. Any family would be incredibly lucky to have her â we would continue using her forever if we could. We give Arianne our highest possible recommendation without hesitation!

Teresa was amazing with my 1 year old puppy! She had great communication from the start and made sure to ask thoughtful, thorough questions- even checking in about where I was comfortable having my dog walked. I really appreciated the detailed update and adorable photos she sent. Itâs always nerve wracking having someone new watch your fur baby, but I felt completely at ease knowing my pup was in her care. Iâll definitely be booking with Teresa again!

Katharine is absolutely wonderful! Sheâs reliable, caring and clearly loves dogs. My dog is so excited every time she arrives, and I always know heâs in great hands. She sends updates and photos after each walk. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and kind!

Sarah is the absolute best! Super reliable, trustworthy, communicative and my dog absolutely adores her. She really goes above and beyond to provide the best service and make sure the dogs are happy, safe and loved. 10 out of 10 service. Sheâs also very flexible and has saved me a few times in last minute requests. Would highly recommend.
