“Olivia was so great with Maverick! I booked for 4 walks and she was prompt and every walk was a good 30min which is perfect for my dog. She sent updates and communicated well. I’ll definitely be rebooking in the future”

“We love having Ian and Candice walk our dog Patty! They were kind enough to reach out and confirm the length of the walk we wanted them to take as the heat index reached extremely warm temperatures while we were out of town! They’re extremely reliable and very responsive!”


“Audrey has been awesome for the several visits she's held so far. Kind with the home, wonderful with our pup, communicative and professional. Super happy to have met her!”

About: What sets me apart is the personal experience I bring as a lifelong pet owner. I’ve cared for my dog since she was a puppy, teaching her fun tricks like sit, lay, shake, and roll and now, at 12 years old, I also manage her senior care needs with patience and lots of love! This gives me a unique perspective in working with pets at every life stage, from playful puppies to older companions who need extra comfort and attention. I treat every pet like family, making sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. My schedule is flexible and varies day to day. This allows me to offer pet care in the mornings, afternoons, evenings, or even at night depending on the day. I enjoy fitting pet care into my routine because spending time with animals is something I truly love, and I make sure to adjust my availability so your pets get the attention they deserve :) When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow their routine as closely as possible - whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or cuddles so pets feel comfortable and safe. I make sure to give them plenty of attention, keep their space tidy, and provide regular updates so you know they’re happy!
“Caroline is the absolute sweetest! She came over to do a meet and greet with Toffee before watching her. She asked questions about her medication regimen, health conditions and preferences. It means so much to be able to find someone you trust to watch your fur baby! We will definitely be a repeat client.”

About: I’ve taken care of every type of dog since I was young. Growing up we raised lab puppies & I saw to their feeding, play, and waste removal throughout every age. I’ve dog sat big and small dogs and cats alike through home visits and home stays. I am an elementary teacher so I am available anytime in the summer, on the weekends, most holidays, and on week nights after 6pm! I’d love to love on your fur babies! I love furry companions to go on walks with, play with, and enjoy the overall company of any 4 legged friend! I would love to spoil your pet while you’re away!
“Traci was absolutely amazing to my sweet Penny. She even bought her a little skateboard to teach my bulldog how to skate since they are known to be great at it. Penny adored her and will use Traci for every Rover walk when needed. She’s prompt and committed to walking on time and very consistent. We love Traci!!”

“Abigail is the best! My dog loves her! We came from out of town and she made us feel so comfortable and at ease looking after our pup. She was quick to respond, competent, professional and thoughtful. My partner accidentally locked her out and she was patient and went out of her way to wait for him to let her in. We will be rebooking her again and you should too! 10 stars!”

About: I have dog-sat and walked for nearly 3 years. I have dog-sat and walked dogs of all sizes, breeds, and ages. I frequently walked two boxers, Cash and Hope, nearly everyday last summer, and the year before dog-sat for a lab-german shepherd, named Sophie, for about two weeks. I also have experience with an english bulldog named Louis, who I dog-sat for a week. I love being active and have a lot of energy and I think that makes me the perfect candidate for Rover! I never had a dog growing up so I have a lot of years of love to make up for! I am capable of everything that comes with being a sitter or walker, and willing to make sure all dog I encounter is loved and cared for!
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I could remember, I’ve had dogs my entire life and have one currently! I’ve worked at 2 doggy daycare/ boarding facilities for years as well. Ive been trained in dog warning signs, and facts about almost every dog breed. I have worked with un trained dogs, well behaved obedient dogs, scared dogs, you name it, I’m prepared for anything! I’m currently a college student so my schedule varies. Right now my availability is 6am-3pm Monday-Thursday. Feel free to reach out with times that work best for you, sometimes I can work things into my schedule! I have a friendly medium sized dog that your fur baby can play with! I would provide walks, runs, car drives, pup cups, and even going to pet smart if you need to pick up some things for our 4 legged friends.
“Look no further for an amazing dog walker! From the moment I met her, it was clear that her focus was not on meeting me but getting to know my dog. Which is exactly what I want!! Can’t wait for future walks with her, and Mochi was smitten the moment she pet him.”

About: I've taken care of dogs in every shape and size since I was 6 years old. I'm ready to grab my sneakers if your dog loves a long walk, or just stay in if they're more of a couch potato who needs attention. I'm great with administering medication too. I'm happy to discuss your pet care expectations and pet boundaries! *Independently Insured with Pet Care Insurance/Lloyds of London* I work an 8-5 position that allows for me to take an hour lunch on a flexible schedule so there wouldn't be more than a 4-hour time period without a check-in or walk. Overnight house-sitting, after-work walks, and weekends fit best in my schedule. Open communication about pet care, house care, pet emergency plans, and pet boundaries or personalities is the best way for me to provide a stress-free time for your pets and yourself. I am also independently insured with Pet Care Insurance/Lloyds of London to offer additional protections beyond the standard Rover agreements.

About: Hey there!! I’m Jessa! My whole life I have always had a pet. I will greet animals before I greet their parents. I would love to take care of your pet. I do have a full time Monday - Friday job, but I am able to take care of your pet before and after work. I am available most weekends and holidays. I will be with your pet the whole time you are gone. I will love on your pet like you would and follow your directions.
