“Yvette was amazing! I was so nervous to leave my dog and am so relieved I found Yvette! Zoey loved her from day one and had a great time with her. I absolutely loved all the pics and updates throughout the week! She was also extremely accommodating with all her health needs. Highly recommend for your fur baby!!”
“Helene has been walking my dog since April, and let me tell you she is amazing! Rain or shine, she shows up with a smile on her face, ready for my Lunas unpredictable behavior ;). Luna lights up when she sees her, and honestly, I think she likes Helene more than me now. Zero complaints, just a happy dog and a very grateful dog mom. Highly recommend!”
“This was my second time booking with Camila And she’s great. I felt completely comfortable leaving my dog with her, it is clear that she cares about all the dogs she walks. I will definitely always reuse Camila”
About: Hello! I'm a compassionate animal lover who enjoys caring for all types of animals. Growing up in a multi-animal household, I've been taking care of pets (mainly cats) for as long as I can remember. I've always enjoyed babysitting and walking others' dogs and I've gained experience over the last decade by continuously sitting and walking for dogs through wag and rover. As a babysitter and camp counselor with 10+ years experience, more often than not families would have dogs to care for as well. I am extremely responsible, friendly, caring, and very patient. My number 1 priority is SAFETY and will make sure your pup is well-cared for and safe on his walk and in the home. I'm currently available for most hours and any day during the week and weekend. I do not walk super late at night though after 9-10pm, unless it is a quick pee drop in visit. When visiting, would take your friendly dog out for a walk first to go to bathroom and get in some exercise. Depending on time if a drop by visit will also feed, brush, and hang out with pup so they get some extra love and attention before I head out. Please leave any notes for me regarding their feeding time and food measurements. Always leave with a fresh bowl of water for them as well. I have sat for a few dogs who loved yard games, if fenced in - like frisbee, tug o war, fetch etc.
“Jenn is amazing!!!! If you’re looking for someone to care for your dogs with respect and compassion,Please choose her. I will be requesting her, Going forward. My little boys love to see her face whenever she’s around and she always goes above and beyond.If you love your dog choose her!”
“Kerri has been wonderful! Her communication is excellent—she keeps us updated and is always responsive. We're so glad we found her and are looking forward to having her watch our pups when we travel. Highly recommend!”

About: I currently have 3 fur babies, from an 8lb chihuahua to a 70 pound hunting dog. I love them “almost” as much as my human babies and would be happy to help take care of yours! I work from home and have a flexible schedule. Happy to provide check ins and walks during the day, or stay at your home and care for your pets. I treat my pets and yours like they’re family because they are. Whether they like backyard playtime or a walk in the woods, I’m ready to spoil them.
About: I've been around dogs my entire life, and they've always been a part of my family. From playful pups to wise old dogs, I've learned how to care for them in many different aspects. I've also babysat puppies before, so I know how to handle the extra energy that comes with it! I’m currently a college student working a part time job. I have a lot of extra free time on the weekdays to hangout with pups. I am available most weekdays to go for some walks and drop-in visits! Your pet's safety is my top priority. I maintain a secure and clean environment, free from hazards. I'm experienced in recognizing signs of distress or illness and will immediately contact you. Dogs in my care enjoy regular walks, playtime in a secure yard, and plenty of cuddles on the couch. I ensure each dog gets personalized attention, catering to their specific needs and energy levels. At home, my own dogs are part of the family, and I extend that same love and care to every dog I will watch.
About: I have over 12 years of experience raising and caring for dogs, including taking care of puppies from the time they were born. I understand the needs of dogs at every stage of life, from newborn puppies to adult dogs, and I provide calm, attentive, and loving care. Your dog will be treated like family in a safe and comfortable home environment. I work from home, so I’m home with the dogs throughout the day and able to give them lots of attention, care, and supervision. Your dog will rarely be left alone and will have plenty of companionship, potty breaks, playtime, and cuddles during the day. I make sure every dog feels comfortable, safe, and part of the family while they’re staying with me. The backyard is fully fenced and safe, providing a secure space for dogs to play.

I take them on multiple walks through out the day, feed them twice daily, ensure they have enough exercise and give them lots of love and play time. I will do the same for your family pets!
“Rebecca is great! She showed up on time and took great care of my Tilly girl, who by the way is a handful as an energetic 1 year old. Rebecca is very responsive/communicative and sent multiple pictures of Tilly every time she came to walk her. I'm definitely going to continue to use Rebecca for routine walks every week.”
About: I am an ER Nurse and travel Nurse who LOVES pets. I thought care for dogs would be the perfect way to do a side job while doing something I love. I grew up playing with my cousin’s dog. I’ve taken care of my family’s dog for about 3 years and then took care of my roommates dog for 2 years. I fed the dogs, took them potty, played with them, and took them for walks. I’ve also helped them learn tricks. I am energetic and caring when taking care of these dogs. I always make sure they feel comfortable in the living space and make sure they are getting enough physical activity throughout the day. I love playing with them and making them feel at home. I have a BIG fenced backyard where they can run and play.
About: I was a devoted dog mom for 15 wonderful years to the sweetest and most lovable Yorkie. My Bobi, my baby, my good boy, my heart and so many names I lovingly gave him. He wasn’t just my dog—he was family and deeply loved. ❤️ Having him throughout every stage of his life also gave me firsthand experience caring for a senior dog. I understand that as dogs get older, they may need a little more patience, gentleness, attention, and understanding. I’m comfortable taking things at their pace and giving them the extra care and affection they deserve. Being a dog mom taught me so much about companionship, responsibility, and unconditional love. I also understand how much trust it takes to leave your fur baby in someone else’s care. This was the biggest concern for me and my family so I understand. Every dog has their own personality and needs, and I’ll take the time to get to know yours. Whether they’re young and full of energy or a senior pup who prefers a slower stroll and extra cuddles, I’ll care for them with kindness and treat them like family. 🐾❤️ I currently have open availability and a very flexible schedule, which allows me to accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening walks, as well as last-minute requests when possible. I’m happy to work around your dog’s regular routine because I know consistency can make all the difference in helping them feel happy and comfortable. Your dog’s safety and well-being will always be my priority. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, respect your pup’s normal routine, and take the time to understand their personality, likes, dislikes, and any special needs. I’ll also keep you updated while your pup is with me, because I know how reassuring it is to know they’re safe, happy, and getting lots of love. ❤️ Be ready to receive the cutest pictures while your furbaby is under my care ❤️📸
“Julianna was great! Would definitely recommend. She is very kind and professional. She updated me after the walk on how Bella did and checked to make sure Bella had enough water in her bowl.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 8 years, including walking, feeding, bathing, and providing daily care for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I have 3 dogs and a cat of my own!

About: Thank you for stopping by my profile! Let's get to know each other. Please read through my profile and hopefully it will answer any questions you may have about my service! Animals have been a part of my life since childhood, from our show dog who was an Irish Wolfhound to being a rescue mom to smaller terriers. I have cared for horses, chickens, bunnies which includes pets with special handicaps. With deep empathy and natural connection, I understand animals on an intuitive level. I have trained puppies, comforted seniors and welcomed countless creatures who somehow find their way to my home. Your pet will find a home away from home here with me, safe, loving-and I look forward to offering the same love I show all animals to your beloved pet. All the animals in my home live in harmony together. Some visitors marvel at that fact but it's how I treat each animal with love and care that fosters this environment. All needs are met and everyone is happy! Fun stay for your dog while you are away! Welcome! I am so happy you’re considering my home for your furry family member. I am a loving pet owner with a genuine passion for animals, and believe that when your dog stays with me, they should feel like they’re on vacation—a fun, staycation away from home! I have a senior dog called Texas who is a little sheriff around here! She likes to watch the scene as it makes her feel like part of the action. At nearly 18 years old, she is still going strong and wants to just do doggy things! By having other dogs around, it keeps her active and mentally stimulated. My home is a warm, clean and comfortable space. I offer lots of attention, affection and fun! WHY DOGS LOVE STAYING WITH ME I provide a safe home environment where dogs become part of the daily lives of my family. Your pup will enjoy plenty of companionship, attention, playtime, and opportunities to relax. Because I spend so much time at home, your dog won’t simply be dropped off and left alone for long periods. They’ll be part of the action! Every dog is different, so I take the time to get to know each guest and their unique personality, routine, and preferences. I have a lot of experience with many different breeds of dogs. We like to think of our dogs as perfect but they all have that little things they do! I know their quirks (I see you counter surfers!) and emotional needs (I see you doodles!) It is very helpful to know all about your pet before they arrive here for their stay. Whether your pup is energetic and playful, loves long walks, enjoys making new friends, or would rather curl up for a cozy nap. Also, if they eat tissues, or garbage dip or counter surf? We can accommodate all different personalities with proper notice. Not everyone is perfect! I will do my best to make them feel comfortable and happy. We can also discuss at quick 15 minute meet and greet which is required for any boardings with me. For first time guests on longer stays over 7 days, an overnight experience is required. (Exceptions can made for out of town guests or emergencies!) A TYPICAL DAY A stay with me includes plenty of opportunities for: * Outdoor potty breaks and fresh air * Playtime and enrichment * Walks and exercise * Relaxation and cozy nap time * One-on-one attention * Plenty of cuddles and affection * Supervised social time with other compatible dogs Drop-offs can be a range of emotions for your dog- from excited, to curious to overwhelm as they enter a new situation. I have guided even the most frightened dog to love coming to my home! I love seeing each dog’s personality shine as they get to know and trust me! I TREAT EVERY DOG LIKE FAMILY I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I will reassure you that your pup is having a good time with communication that includes updates and photos/videos. I love sending updates and photos so you can see your dog enjoying their stay. You can relax knowing your furry family member is receiving lots of love and attention while you’re away. My goal is simple: I want your dog to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and excited to come back! WHAT TO BRING To help your dog enjoy a comfortable stay, please bring: * Regular food including favorite snack * Special bed * Any necessary medications * A leash, collar, or harness * Any important instructions regarding their routine I have plenty of bowls, blankets, and doggy bags, so there’s no need to overpack! Bring as little or as much as your pup needs. Whether you’re traveling, heading out for the day, having a dinner party or simply need someone trustworthy to care for your best friend, I would love to welcome them into my home. I can’t wait to meet you and your pup! While I am during the day and available to provide attentive care for your pet. I may step out briefly for errands or other chores but will ensure your pet's needs are fully met. Our home is on one acre with a fenced in yard and great area for walking with lots of trees in a peaceful setting. I have a senior dog (17+ yo) that loves company. We also have cats which are friendly and curious.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Westwood
Diana was absolutely amazing, and we truly can’t thank her enough! She took such wonderful care of my parents’ 14-year-old Morkie while they were away. When their return flight was unexpectedly cancelled due to a blizzard, we were in a real bind — but Diana stepped up without hesitation and extended her stay for an additional three days. Her flexibility and calm, can-do attitude made a very stressful situation so much easier for all of us. Not only did she make sure our sweet senior pup was comfortable, loved, and well cared for, but she also went above and beyond by helping us shovel snow during the storm. That level of kindness and initiative is rare. We felt completely at ease knowing our dog — and even our home — were in such capable and caring hands. I would highly recommend Diana to anyone looking for someone dependable, compassionate, and truly exceptional!
Karen was absolutely wonderful. She was very friendly, always showed up on time, and truly went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of. She stayed in constant communication with both my wife and me, which gave us real peace of mind. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience — 10/10 would absolutely recommend Karen to anyone looking for reliable and attentive care.
Mia is absolutely amazing! My dogs adore her and get so excited every time she comes over. She has such a calm and loving energy that instantly puts them at ease. She is incredibly reliable, kind, and trustworthy, qualities that are so important when it comes to caring for our kids. She also house sat for us while we were away, and everything went perfectly. The house was spotless, and our pups were happy and well taken care of. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. We will definitely be hiring Mia again and recommending her to all our friends. She truly goes above and beyond.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Westwood. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
