“Elly has been the best! She does recurring weekly walks for my pup, Winston. Always on time, leaves updates and lots of pictures. My pup is not the most active/doesn’t always want to walk but she always makes sure he gets out to pee even when he is being stubborn. Going back into the office has been a breeze due to Elly - thank you!!!”
“Daniel has been great with taking our dog for her daily walks. He gives her the chance to take her time and explore and then does some enrichment activities with her when they get back. He is always on time and very communicative.”
About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life—starting with the family dogs, cats, birds, and hamsters I grew up with. Over the past 20 years, I’ve provided trusted pet care for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and energy levels, as well as cats with all kinds of personalities. I’ve raised two dogs of my own and currently live with a much-loved cat. What sets me apart is my calm, patient approach and deep understanding of animal behavior. Whether it’s a senior dog needing extra support, a shy cat who takes time to warm up, or a high-energy pup who needs structure and play, I adapt to each pet’s unique needs. I’m also experienced with basic puppy training and feel comfortable administering medication when needed. I treat every pet like family—with plenty of love, consistency, and attention to detail—because I know how much they mean to you. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I plan my schedule around the needs of the pets I care for—whether it’s daily walks, feeding schedules, playtime, or simply keeping them company. I’m organized, flexible, and committed to giving each pet the time and attention they deserve. Caring for animals isn’t something I squeeze in—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize every day. --- Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, their safety and comfort come first. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special needs to ensure a smooth, low-stress experience. In your home, I respect your space, follow all instructions carefully, and keep you updated with regular check-ins and photos. If pets are in my home, they’ll enjoy a calm, pet-friendly environment where they’re never left alone for long and always treated like part of the family. --- ### My Pet Care Expertise My life has always been deeply intertwined with animals. From chattering birds and curious hamsters to graceful fish, independent cats, and loyal dogs of all sizes, I've had the joy of growing up with a diverse range of beloved family pets. This lifelong immersion in animal companionship, including personally owning both small and large dogs alongside my current cat, has given me invaluable insight into their unique personalities and needs. Today, my passion for pets continues through the routine care I provide for our **neighbors' and friends' dogs and cats**. This hands-on, consistent experience means I'm adept at maintaining routines, understanding different temperaments, and ensuring every furry guest feels safe, comfortable, and truly loved in a family environment. You can trust that your pet's well-being is my absolute priority. ---
“Monica is super responsive and great communicator. She was able to meet up with us beforehand for Teddy to meet her since he's is incredible shy. Teddy had a good walk with her! Thanks again!”
About: I have years of personal experience caring for animals, including training my own golden retriever, Prince, who’s now almost 10. I started training him as a puppy, and I still love teaching him new tricks to keep him engaged, happy, and to improve our bond. Prince has also received care from Rover sitters, so I understand how important it is to have someone you trust. I have high standards for how he’s treated, and I bring that same level of care and attention to every pet I look after. I’m patient, kind, and always focused on making sure every pet feels safe and happy. I love getting to know each animal’s unique personality and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for, just like I do with my own dog. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine right now because I’m in college and have lots of free time over the summer. I am able to dedicate my days to giving pets the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. During visits, I always make sure pets feel safe and comfortable by taking things at their pace. I give them plenty of attention, follow all care instructions carefully, and keep their space clean and secure. I am attentive to all pets' needs, whether it’s going for a walk, playtime, feeding, or just providing company.
“Dominique had great communication with me about our dog Lincoln. He’s got a positive and professional demeanor. Our dog is a big boy (125 lbs ) and Dominique handled him with ease. Lincoln instantly connected with Dominique, not something he always does with strangers. Dominique most definitely has a way with dogs. His interaction and care was as if Lincoln was his own pet. Dominique’s communication with me was great up to meeting and during the interaction with our boy. Very amicable person. I will use Dominque again.”
About: Back in my college days, I worked in a dog daycare with dogs of all breeds, ages and sizes. Before Rover, I mostly pet sat for my friends and family. In addition, I have 14 of experience caring for my own dogs. I understand the struggles that come with leaving your pet with a stranger so please rest assured that your fur baby will be well taken care of. I will always treat your fur baby with lots of love and kindness and adhere to your instructions to the best of my ability. I currently work a 9-5 at a hospital. I have the flexibility to work from home 3x a week so I’m able to do drop ins and walks on those days. In addition, I am available most weekends and holidays. It is always helpful to have written instructions on how to care for your pet. For example, activities they enjoy most, things they absolutely hate, or undesirable behaviors to look for. Let me know their daily routines so I can do my best to make they feel like they’re with family and not just some stranger.
About: I've taken care of animals of all kinds since I was a kid and moved out of my parents house as an adult just to get a cat. I've worked with difficult dogs in the past and am very patient and thorough. I would love to show your furry family member the attention and care they deserve. I'm currently between jobs, so I can spend as much time as you need with your animals. Long walks or frequent drop-ins—I can be there. I am very thorough and detailed, so you can trust any instructions or directions you leave will be followed. I know how important your animals are to you and I want to make sure the next time you see them, they are as safe and happy and as when you left.

“Kaitlyn was great with our 80-pound bernedoodle; we asked her (somewhat last minute!) if should do two walks in a day for us, and she came through! She met him during the initial meet and greet and was great with him, showed up and walked him as expected. I would definitely recommend Kaitlyn.”
About: I grew up with dogs and cats, caring for them in various stages from puppy biting to senior diabetes. I have dog and cat sat for many families, sometimes for 2+ weeks at a time, and feel very comfortable with any pet of any age/condition. I’m currently working part-time and would love to walk and care for dogs in my free time! I am available most days at any time. I do not have any pets of my own right now, but live in a pet-friendly home with outdoor space and very walkable surrounding area.
About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, lizards, snakes, rats, rabbits, you name it. Ever since I was a kid I have always had an animal to care for and a passion for it. I have family and friends that have trusted me for a while to stay in home and watch their pets. I am currently a working remote and am looking meet new furry faces, and make some extra cash. I am available weekday and weekends, being remote allows me to have very flexible days which are perfect for caring for pets! If I am caring for your pet be prepared for lots of photo updates (I love sending them!). I will walk them in the mornings, afternoons and evenings if staying in home. I can also come and throw the ball, feed, or just give some love.

Waverly Hills dog parents share their Rover experiences
Paige was the best! We hired her for dog walking but would be very comfortable having her pet sit as well. From the moment we met her, we knew our dog was in the best hands. She clearly loves dogs and goes above and beyond to make them happy. She’s not only professional and reliable, but truly treats our pup like her own, with her services filled with love and attention—including detailed updates and adorable photos. Our dog comes back happy and has clearly bonded with Paige, which gives us such peace of mind. You can tell she genuinely loves what she does, and it shows in every interaction. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and amazing with dogs, look no further—Paige is amazing!
Yiting is an incredible pet caretaker/walker. She was so patient and thoughtful when meeting our dog Camo, and taking her out for a walk. She has a calming energy and it very trustworthy and knowledgeable with animals (and humans :) I highy recommend her for your fur baby needs.
Paige is a great dog walker! She was on time, sent lots of photos, and provided a detailed update about how our dogs were during the walk. She was also willing to come by and do a meet & greet before we booked, which I so appreciated! We will be using her again. Thank you Paige! 😊
