“Jacqueline is awesome! So patient with my crazy, energetic pup. Piper absolutely loves when Jacqueline comes for her walks and waits for her to return when she leaves!”


“Our dog can be a bit much with leash reactivity and new changes. We are very pleased with how Kaylor has dealt with Buddy and it seems to be going well. Super grateful for the willingness to work with Buddy!”



“Mackenzie is amazing, the best care taker for Minnie we could've asked for. She really treats Minnie like she's her own dog and is kind, caring and understanding of Minnie's needs. Thank you Mackenzie!”


“Ana Christina is fantastic. She clearly loves dogs and is knowledgeable and experienced, and my dog adores her. Ana Chis is also professional, timely, and always responsive. I'd hire her to watch my puppy again in a heartbeat.”


“Katherine was a wonderful dog walker, she took so many great photos of Ricki and had a lot of great notes for each walk! I would definitely book her again for Ricki!”


“Thomas is such a gem!!! Book him! He’s punctual, communicates well, and is patient. My dog Cairo is not everyone’s ’cup of tea’ (not that I care, since I love him) but he’s vocal at times from excitement and has high energy as a 2 year old Aussiedoodle. Thomas arrived on time, and took Cairo on an hour long dog walk. Although it was 80+ degree humid weather with no breeze, he did it with a smile on his face. Moving forward, whenever I need a walker for Cairo (most likely 1x weekly), I will contact Thomas to check his availability. And next time Thomas, I’ll have a nice cold unopened bottled water for you. Thomas, thank you for bonding with Cairo and accepting his high energy level. Not sure if you’re told this enough, but you are absolutely amazing!”


“Michael walked my 3 year old golden retriever, Waffles, for four afternoons. Waffles sometimes pulls on the leash and sometimes not. Michael in his own quiet way was clearly in control and Waffles liked him immediately. I recommend Michael.”


About: We welcome every dog like family! Whether it’s their first visit or they’re a returning friend, we make sure each pup feels safe, loved, and part of our home from the moment they arrive. Miu Miu, our sweet and social 1-year-old mini golden doodle, is the perfect playmate—she adores meeting new dogs and sharing her toys. We love taking pups to the dog park for exercise and socialization, and at home there’s always time for play, cuddles, and healthy treats (including veggies and chicken breast if you approve!). With us, your dog gets the perfect mix of fun, care, and companionship. Pet care is a natural part of our daily life! We have a 1-year-old mini golden doodle who gets four walks a day, tons of playtime, and all the love she could ask for. My partner works from home and has a flexible schedule, so someone is always around to provide attention, care, and supervision. We also love taking our dog to nearby parks to run around, explore, and burn off energy—it’s a big part of our routine. Your pup will enjoy a mix of structure, play, and plenty of affection, just like one of our own! We provide a safe, loving, and clean environment in our pet-friendly 1-bedroom apartment, where your pup will feel right at home. Our gentle doodle Miu Miu loves having doggy friends over! We follow your pet’s routine closely—whether in our home or yours—and always prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness. With flexible schedules and a calm, respectful approach, your pet will be in caring hands every step of the way.

“Mary Kate did a wonderful caring for my chiweenie for the last 2 weeks. Planning on having her as a long term walker. She is flexible, keeps you updated during walks and reliable!”


“Dakota was so great with my pup! She took care of my pup’s daily walks for a week on short notice, asked thoughtful follow up Q’s and gladly helped with additional tasks. Definitely book her! 10/10 :)”

About: I’m new to Rover, so please don’t be alarmed by 0 reviews on my profile. I promise you won’t regret working with me. Your pet will be in fantastic hands :) I am extremely patient with pets. I grew up with both cats and dogs and have a soft spot for our furry friends! Rest assured that your pet will get the love, attention, and care they deserve. I have flexibility on my remote work days and weekends. Open to walks and drop-in visits M/W/F and weekends. Happy to drop in early morning if your pet is an early riser! I will first arrange a meet up before we agree if we want to work together. I’ll meet your pet, ask about their behavior and preferences, as well as any requests you have. Currently offering drop-in visits for both cats and dogs. Also offering walking services. Boarding and house sitting may be accommodated based on availability and compatibility. Look forward to getting to know you and your pet(s)!

About: My family had a beautiful golden retriever named Ben who passed away at 15. I absolutely love dogs and have been taking care of animals for around 17 years now. I am comfortable and familiar with senior pet care, and I have no problem cleaning up accidents! I also am a happy steward of other people’s homes (certified neat freak over here). I’ve been dog sitting and walking for around 5 years now, mostly in Atlanta which is where I am from. Currently, I do not own a pet; I just graduated from Yale and recently moved to an apartment that requires written notice if I want to get a pet. I’d love to adopt a pet in the next few years, but for now, I am focused on working through this life transition! I have a lot of flexibility in the evenings and weekends. I also tend to be free all day on Friday. I am a graduate student at Harvard, so I may have some modifications to make once I know my schedule this fall. While I can’t house animals at my apartment at this time, I am comfortable spending time with pets in other people’s homes. I am respectful of any space that I am welcome into and can promise that as a sitter. I will leave the place as I found it!

“OMG, Katinka is the dog walker/sitter I never knew how much we needed! Athena has fallen in love. She was so fantastic. We will be using her again. So responsible and communicative and she understood Athena right away and took fantastic care of her. Thanks, Katinka!”

“Zeke really enjoyed his walk with Clare! It was a particularly hot day and she was cognizant of distance and made sure he had water before and after.”


August L.
“August took amazing care of my two cats while I was away! They went above and beyond by not only feeding them and refreshing their water, but also cleaning up the litter area without being asked. I especially appreciated the extra time and care August spent bonding with my shyer cat, Pancake, who usually hides from new people. It gave me so much peace of mind to know both of my cats were in such good hands. Highly recommend!”

Sarah S.
“Sarah Street is one of the most responsible, respectful people I’ve ever met. She is driven and intentional with the people and animals she meets. Sarah had a dog named Ben who she loved more than anything on the planet, and her heart hasn’t been quite as full since he passed. She carried out responsibilities surrounding Ben when he was sick with cancer and prioritized it above everything. Nothing with Ben was too small. The kindness and love she showed Ben every day is something every pet dreams of. I have a cat named Romey, and she actually was the reason I got him in the first place. She spotted the connection and knew what kind of baby he would be for me. I love Romey more than anything, and if something were to happen to me, I would trust Sarah with my whole heart to take care of him and give him the love and necessary care he needs.”
