“Lucy is taking Dobby for 1-h walks twice a week. He was a little shy to go at the beginning but then came back very happy. They go to the park and he seemed to have lots of fun! Thank you, Lucy!”


“Maria did a great job walking my dogs. She quickly developed a nice rapport with them, and I know Lucky loved his longer walks to the park, and Harley her short walks.”


“Sylvia is a trustworthy person to take care of your furry friends. I was wary of using Rover because I’ve never had a stranger take care of my dog, let alone come into my vacant apartment. Sylvia was very thorough in updating me and sending pictures/ videos of what she was doing and how my dog was doing. She was very communicative and made sure I didn’t worry about my dog. Highly recommend!”


“Christina was so warm right from the start! Very professional, knowledgeable and communicative throughout the process. She takes amazing photos of your pets and it’s obvious she enjoys what she does. Wonderful experience and I continue to book with her!”


“After just adopting a rescue from the shelter, I was a little nervous with the whole dog walker experience. Amanda handled Oliver so well, not to mention she's very reliable which put my nerves at ease. We will be booking Amanda for Oliver's walks again!”


About: I used to walk my cousin's dogs for years and I took care of my Godmother's dog when she was on vacation and I also took care of my cousins dog when he was at work.

I am available Sunday through Saturday, seven days a week. I am available during the day and evenings. I am really eager to get started. I will adhere to the pet’s specific dietary needs and schedules. I will provide regular walks, playtime, and mental stimulation. I can provide regular brushing, bathing, and checking for mats or pests. I will observe for any signs of illness or distress and ensure medications are administered on time. I will keep hazardous items out of reach and ensure a secure space for the pet. I will offer companionship and attention to prevent loneliness.

“Joshua is an excellent dog walker. He was perfect for our Henny and she fell in love with him immediately. We can’t thank you enough for taking good care of her while we were away on vaca. I’ll definitely be booking again soon!”


“She has been great with my dog. Very kind and patient. She takes lots of pictures and they always look like they are having the best time! Thanks Jaritza!”


About: I used to take care of my mom’s dog while I lived with her, so I’m very comfortable with daily routines and giving pets the attention they need. Every morning, I’d take him to the park for playtime and a 30-minute walk, and I always made sure he was fed on time. He was scared of the groomer, so I learned how to brush and bathe him at home to keep him clean and comfortable. That experience taught me how to be patient and gentle, especially with pets that are a little nervous. I treat every pet like they’re my own and really try to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I’m doing Rover full time right now, so pet care is a big part of my everyday life. My schedule is built around the pets I’m caring for—whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or boarding. I plan my day to make sure they get enough attention, playtime, and consistency. Since this is my main focus, I have the flexibility to give each pet the time and care they need. When I do dog walks or drop-in visits, safety and trust are my top priorities. I always make sure pets are secure on their leash and check that harnesses or collars fit properly before we head out. I stick to safe walking routes and keep a close eye on their behavior and surroundings. During drop-in visits, I follow the owner’s instructions carefully—whether it’s feeding, playtime, medication, or just keeping them company. I always make sure doors are locked, everything is cleaned up, and the pet is comfortable before I leave. I also send regular updates so pet parents know their pets are happy and in good hands.

“This was our first Rover experience so we were nervous. As soon as we recieved our first Rover card from Ari our nerves were gone! We have a senior dog currently with a paw injury requiring special instructions. Ari paid attention to every detail and sent us the sweetest pictures of our boy. We already have our next walks booked! Thus far reliable, communicative and responsible! Thank you Ari!!☺”


About: I've cared for my cat for 4 years and she's as healthy as can be. I've also looked after my neighbor's cats while he was away. I’m currently working part time but I will always have time to care for furry friends! I’ll be returning to school in the fall but I will still be able to look after any pets. I have my cat in my apartment and take her out occasionally to wander around outside with a harness and leash on for safety. She is okay around other cats.

About: Hey there My name is Kelsie :) I’ve been around animals my whole life and absolutely love caring for them. I’ve looked after dogs and cats of all ages and personalities, and even worked at a pet shop, which taught me a lot about animal care especially for seniors/disabled. Whether your pup is full of energy and loves long walks or prefers to lounge on the couch, I’m happy to match their vibe. I also know the basics of training and always aim to make your pet feel comfortable, safe, and loved like they’re my own. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry friend! I’m home full time, so your pet will always have company and care throughout the day! I also work alongside my sister, who’s home full time as well, so between the two of us, your pet will never be left unattended. Whether it’s playtime, cuddle time, or just making sure they’re safe and happy, we’ve got it covered 24/7 ;) Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities! I always follow the exact diet and care instructions you provide to keep things consistent and stress free for your furry friend. My home is safe, cozy, and pet friendly, with a fully fenced yard so there’s no chance of escaping during outdoor time. I’m also happy to send unlimited updates, photos, or even hop on a video call anytime, whatever gives you peace of mind while you’re away!

“Cemre recently started walking my dog. She is a good communicator and quick to respond! She will leave extra details about her walk with my dog where they enjoy their time together. Cemre and I have flex work schedules which change each week. She’s a pleasure to check in with to accomodate my pup with our schedules.”

About: I love dogs and have had them my whole life. My dog Peanut, who’s in my profile picture with me, is my pride and joy, and I plan on taking care of him when I have my own home. My parents are out of town for work quite often, so I have cared for him on my own for extended periods of time, and I love spending time with him. I helped crate train him when he was younger as well, on top of other skills. I would love to help take care of others’ pets, and get to know everyone’s amazing animals! I’m a full time college student, and go to school on the Upper East Side in Manhattan, so I will definitely have weekday availability to anyone in the city who needs pet care. I’ll be mostly available in the afternoon, but I also have my hours available on my profile. I have one small-medium size, very friendly dog at home, and a fenced in backyard in a quiet neighborhood. I would prefer to do visits in the clients home, because I do live with my family, however depending on the dog it may be possible.


“Great care as always!”


About: I have been taking care of dogs at a local grooming and boarding shop for the past two summers, including summer of 2025, and I also have a dog of my own.

About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I currently care for my own pup, Puffles, who’s been my best friend and biggest inspiration to start offering pet care to others. I’ve walked and cared for dogs of various breeds, sizes, and personalities, from energetic puppies to mellow seniors. What sets me apart is my attention to detail, and love for getting to know each dog’s unique personality. I make it a point to tailor each walk or visit to your dog’s needs. Whether that means a high energy park adventure, or a quiet stroll through the neighborhood, My goal is simple, to keep your furry friends happy, comfortable, and cared for every step of the way! Hi, I'm Bianca, a full time college student and part time lifeguard and dog walker. I take pet care seriously both on and off duty, making sure every pup I walk gets dependable, loving attention. I typically have availability in the early mornings, late afternoons, and on weekends. I plan my walking schedule around my lifeguard shifts to make sure I’m fully present and reliable for each pup I care for. Whether it’s a walk before work, or an evening drop in, I always make time to give dogs the attention and care they deserve. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or taking them on a walk, safety is always my top priority. I never walk dogs off leash and always come prepared with extra supplies (poop bags, water, and treats). If I’m entering your home for a drop in, I treat it with respect and cleanliness, and I’ll always check in with a photo or quick update. You can count on me to keep your pup happy, healthy, and loved, like they’re one of my own.

I call all doggies, puppies (regardless if they're young and old) I grew up with Cocker Spaniels and my husband with a Mini Pinscher. We currently do not have any dogs at home Potty time for your pup is whenever the pup needs, we have a fenced backyard where they can go at any minute of the day, in addition to the daily walks around the neighborhood. I would love to have the opportunity to watch these little ones. I have used Rover.com in the past ,and had a great experience. This was prior to my little Spaniel girl Kiki passing away at the age of 13 due to a uterus infection :( So looking to give the same love that she received from her sitter to another puppy. I will keep you posted throughout the day with pictures and videos so you have a peace of mind that your pup is in good care and happy.

About: I have a lifetime of experience with dogs and cats. I was a in elementary school when I got my first cat. I have experience taking care of and owning both dogs and cats. I’m an animal lover in general and love to play with them and give affection. I used to take our dog Cody, who we rescued (golden retriever) swimming, running, jet skiing, hiking, etc. My home and style is safe and quite. I am very strong, physically fit (pilates instructor) respectful and well mannered. I say hello to animals more than I do people. I work part time teaching Pilates and most times I teach at home so I have plenty of time to spend pampering your pet. My cats and dog were very loved and well cared for. I fed them only organic and they got fresh water twice a day. Playing games and cuddling, all tailored to your pet’s personality. Daily walks and ear/neck scratches. Frequent walks.

“Off the bat she follows everything that is asked, my dog is a bit over weight so I needed a sitter who would willingly take 1-2 hour walks for my dog, she did that no problem and walked him even when he didn’t need the bathroom and just for him to get some fresh air and attention. She truly cares about my pet and my dog loves her, her profile isn’t lying when she said they wouldn’t want to leave her. She is super friendly and a friend of mine recommended me to her about a year ago and she’s my go to. She will meet all your dogs needs and expectations. She cleans their feet before they walk back into the home, wipes my dogs butt and face to stay clean being on any furniture with her. She keeps me updated at all times and will let me know if anything is wrong. She will ask me if they dog is allowed to eat anything else like a piece watermelon for them to try and makes sure everything is 100% okay before acting upon anything.
