“Priscilla is very trustworthy, a good communicator, and did a great job with my pup! She even refilled her water and took the cutest pics on their walk. I know Tiger looks forward to seeing her again :)”
“Bradley and Greta LOVE Jared. We hired him to give them a mid-day break/walk while we were unavailable and he gave them so much more than we were hoping for! He not only took them on a 30+ walk around Green Lake, but he also took them to the dog park to ensure our pups were nice and tired before returning them home. Even though it was only a walk, he gave updates about his arrival/departure times, what they were doing, and how the dogs were. Our dogs were super happy and exhausted when we returned, so we know they're looking forward to seeing Jared again. We plan to use Jared for both our dog walking and house sitting needs in the future. He's our favorite sitter so far!”

“Words cannot express how much Molé loves Melissa! Molé is a timid dog especially after only being with me and walking me for 6 months cause I wasn’t working. But Molé grew onto Melissa. Now she walks her about 3 times a week. Makes me happy that Molé gets some exercise during the week. We love Melissa! Thank you so much”
About: I’ve had a dog my whole life and have been an animal lover for just as long. I studied animal science at Tuskegee University so needless to say I’m definitely an animal person.

Give me a try, you’ll be happy you did! I will prioritize my dog care responsibilities but i also run a small business daily.

I have a fully closed in yard and 360 cameras for extra security.
About: I've been caring for pets since childhood, everything from dogs and cats to parrots and fish. I have hands-on experience with senior animals and understand the patience, love, and attention they need. I’m also experienced in administering medicine to pets that require it, ensuring they stay safe and comfortable. What sets me apart is my lifelong passion for animals and my commitment to treating your pets like my own, with kindness, reliability, and genuine care. Whether it's a playful pup or a gentle senior, I provide thoughtful, personalized attention to keep them happy and relaxed while you're away.

About: I’m new to Rover, but I bring years of experience and a heart full of love for our furry friends. I’m a lifelong animal lover with a colorful heart and a calm, patient spirit. I share my home with five rescued cats, so I know firsthand the joy—and occasional chaos!—that comes with caring for animals of all kinds. I’ve worked with multiple dogs at once and have a special place in my heart for shy, reactive, or even aggressive pups. I take the time to build trust at their pace, always with gentleness and respect. I love getting down on the floor to connect, observe, and honor each animal’s unique personality. I’m also trained and confident in administering medications, including injections, and I always prioritize your pet’s comfort and safety. Whether it’s a sunny stroll or quiet bonding time, I bring attentiveness, empathy, and a whole lot of love to every visit. As an independent designer, I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate quality time to pet care throughout the day. I love balancing my creative work with time spent walking, playing, or simply being present with furry friends—it’s the most rewarding part of my routine. This flexibility means I can easily adapt to different pet needs, last-minute bookings, or specific time requests. In my home, I have a safe and cozy “catil” (cat patio) where my five rescue cats can enjoy fresh air, sunshine, and freedom. They have access to come and go through secure doors whenever they like. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I always start by checking harnesses, leashes, and collars to ensure safety. I give each furry friend the time and space they need to feel comfortable with me, moving at their pace to build trust and connection. My approach is calm, respectful, and centered on their comfort.

Luz G.
“Everyone in our neighborhood knows Luz as the passionate animal lover in the block. Strangers come up to her for animal advice. She herself has three rescue dogs, a bunny and cockatiels under her care. She has initiated a shelter in her backyard for stray cats and helps friends and neighbors by trapping them, spaying them and finding them a home. Caring for all these animals takes dedication, love, patience and a sense of responsibility which she overachieves. I as a nurse who cares for my patients as if they were my family can say the same for Luz who will treat all animals as if they were hers.”
