“Jade is absolutely awesome! She has been terrific with my boy Buddy. Jade takes the time to give my guy special attention and he loves his walks with her. She is so caring and you can really see the love she shares with my Buddyman! We love Jade!”
“My pup is still getting used to unfamiliar people walking him outside. Rachel’s shown a lot of patience as they get to know each other more and he’s warming up little by little. I’m so glad I found her to help out.”
“My dog Rosie, is a big, very strong and high energy Great Dane. Steve does a great job walking her, allowing her to explore and have fun while keeping her under safe control as well. Rosie loves her walks with Steve and even gets excited when she sees his car coming down our street ! Rosie and I will definitely be calling Steve again!”
“Bailee was amazing! Maverick loved his walks with her and could not wait for the next one. She really went the extra mile to ensure Maverick was well taken care of, like put ice cubes in his water so he could stay cool after walks. 😊 Maverick and I are forever grateful we found you, and hope to see you again in the future. ❤”
“I am so grateful for the amazing care Caroline gave my dog! This was their first time meeting, and my dog absolutely loved her. Despite the tricky weather, she was incredibly patient, waiting for the rain to pass so she could still give my dog a proper walk. I truly appreciate how kind, sweet, and thoughtful she was throughout. I couldn’t be happier with my first experience on Rover .. we’ll definitely be booking with her again. Thank you so much!”
About: My entire life, I've been around animals of all sorts. From Small, loud, and feisty chihuahuas to big, stoic, and strong Pitbulls. I've owned cats, dogs, birds, and rabbits before and each one has only made my love and care of all animals grow each day. I'm available full time, 24/7 for whatever your pet needs may be. Any request you have, I can get it done and give your pet the love and care they deserve. I can give your pet as much (or as little) attention as they want and need. Walks, play, cuddles, or personal space. I'm also immune to the eyes by this point.
“I can't say enough about how wonderful Mykaela and her mom have been. They take such GREAT care of Ruby. From all the pictures I get , I can see how happy she is. Thank you for showing her so much love!”
“Anthony is fantastic with our dog, Maverick! Maverick is a bit anxious with new people but finding out that our neighbor was on rover was perfect for him! Anthony is super responsive and easy to book with and very reliable! He is understanding of Maverick’s leash reactivity and making sure that Maverick is safe and happy on his walks is his top priority. We recommend Anthony’s services and are excited to continue to book with him for our dog!”
“First time working with Kelsey. Would definitely hire her again to walk and take care of our pups. She was punctual kept us posted and even towel dried them back at home after being caught in the rain during their walk. She was perfect!”
“Shivarah is unprecedented in professionalism, communication, and care. She is truly exceptional and such a find!! I come home to a very happy Roo, and trust her absolutely.”
About: I can share that passion with other dogs and dog owners that need a further assistance with the furry family members. Taking care of various dogs makes it easier to learn their needs and wants and if they are well trained it will be easier to take care of them, In the other hand I have patience and a commanding voice that helps them understand I am in control. Snacks are also available which help me develop trust and a bond in order to contribute to a healthy relationship. I currently work full time but I am at home Monday, Friday, Weeknights after work and Weekends at any time to make sure their needs are taken care of. While taking care of your dogs I prioritize their safety by thoroughly assessing their environment, building trust with both the dog and the owner and providing excellent care
About: Hey there! I’m Gabie 👋🏽—a dog-loving nurse with a leash in one hand and treats in the other. When I’m not caring for people, I’m out making tails wag and paws prance. I’ve walked and cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and energy levels, including my own four-legged best friend, Hana 🐶, so your pup is in very good hands. As a nurse, I’m calm under pressure, detail-oriented, and used to caring for those who can’t always speak up—which makes me a natural when it comes to dogs. Whether your pup is a speedy explorer, a sniff-every-bush kind of walker, or just needs some gentle company, I’m here to give them the exercise, love, and attention they need. Reliable, caring, and always ready with belly rubs—I’d love to be your dog’s new favorite part of the day! Let’s make walk time the best time of their day. 🐾 As a full time ICU nurse, I work a few long shifts a week, which actually gives me several full days off to dedicate to pet care. I plan my schedule so I can give each dog plenty of time and attention—whether that’s a good walk before or after work, or longer hangouts on my off days. Spending time with dogs is honestly one of my favorite ways to unwind. It doesn’t feel like a chore—it’s something I look forward to. I make sure every pup I care for gets the love, exercise, and companionship they need, no matter how busy life gets. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, my goal is always to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved—like part of the family. I follow your routines closely, because I know how much pets thrive on familiarity. That means feeding times, walk schedules, playtime, and even little habits like where they like to nap or how they like to be greeted. In my home, pets have a calm, cozy space to relax and play, with plenty of attention and snuggles. I keep things clean, safe, and stress-free. If I’m in your home, I’m respectful of your space and committed to keeping your pet’s environment peaceful and secure. Whether it’s giving meds, cleaning up muddy paws, or just sitting with them while they rest, I care for every pet like they’re my own—with patience, love, and lots of belly rubs.
About: I love pet especially dogs I actually want a teacup chihuahua but money is kind of tight for me right now so why not get to love and take care of others pets while I work on getting my own and maybe have play dates for my future pets too I would love to love your pets thank you in advance for giving me a chance to do so
About: Availability: All day (occasional 4-6 hr shifts) I’m a teacher with my summer off and lots of free time. I’m comfortable caring for a wide range of animals and I believe care and comfort is best achieved through maintaining consistency for your pet and providing them with plenty of attention, making sure they get fed on time, have their daily walks, and most importantly got some affection and playtime from me as well. I moved over to Rover from TrustedHouseSitters where my partner and I house/pet sit for others. I have housesit for 9 different hosts for a total of 90 nights, caring for both cats and dogs, and we had a 5-star review from all of our hosts which you can see in my pictures. My experience as a teacher has prepped me for taking care of people’s little ones at the same time and I hope to bring that experience with me when I get to know you and your pet! I enjoy running, so if your have a very active dog that would enjoy going on a run with me, I would be happy to take them with me in the morning or evening. Summer just started so I’m available with enough notice most times of day and would be happy to spend time with your pets on weekends! With my experience housesitting, I'm used to caring for pets and a host's home! I'm communicative and love sending updates/pictures of how everyone is doing. I prioritize maintaining a clean space, a set feeding and walking schedule, and spending time with the dogs to give them good company. I'm careful when it comes to walks and stick to the sidewalks, quiet roads, and parks. I am male, so if your dog is aggressive around men, please keep my safety in mind as well.
“Naeemah is very reliable, presentable, patient, friendly and considerate. My dog and I loved her! I will rebook her as needed and would highly recommend her if you’re in need of service.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 13. I also used to take care of my friend’s dogs whenever they needed me. To me, those 4 paws babies are more than family, they’re angels on earth! I currently have a full-time job, but I am free the whole morning until 2:00 pm. My sister is home at 4:00 pm from work, so there is always a company in the house. I'm available for booking on weekends day/night so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups. Extended Care after 8+hrs fee is $45 I can easily create your dog enough space to feel free and comfortable like home, take them for a walking while keeping them safe in a peaceful area.
About: I was a soldier in my country, I took my dog training course and worked with many breeds. I really like sharing my time with pets and I will take care of them as if they were my own. I work part-time and I want to share my free time with pets and take care of them as if they were my own and pamper them so that they feel good with me until they return home. I have an empty backyard which I could use for the care and much more of your pets with the greatest security and more confidence

“I can start off by saying Mateo is a dog lover. The way he treats Casper (his dog) amazes me. He subscribed to barkbox to have his dog receive a box full of treats and toys every month. When ever we hangout and he sees a dog, he goes crazy to pet them. I can definitely put my word and recommend him as a dog sitter, i'm sure he will do an amazing job, the dogs are going to be extremely happy when he takes care of them. Can't wait to hear back from Mateo, letting me know he became a dog sitter.”

Klainer M.
“I can’t say enough good things about this sitter! She did an amazing job watching my dog. From the moment we arrived, my pup ran straight to her—which was honestly heartwarming, because she usually doesn’t warm up to anyone but me. That alone said everything. Throughout the day, she kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me such peace of mind. She was caring, loving, and truly went above and beyond. I highly recommend her—10/10 experience!”

- Start and stop times
- A map of their walk with total distance

- Cute photos and a personalized note
