“Celine did an amazing job with our dog, Honey! She was on time, easy to communicate with, and was super sweet with our dog! Would defintely recommend. Thanks, Celine!”

“Emily is very good with my two dogs Alfie and Beanie. They are always happy to see her and go on their walks. She always arrives on time and is very easy and nice to deal with. I plan to continue having her walk my pups and hope it's working out well for her as well.”

“Anthony is the best! I know my dog is in great hands when she is with him! Thank you for being so flexible and being so caring and always going the extra mile. I know she is so happy whenever Anthony drops by!”

“Annalise is so reliable and friendly to my mom who is a senior and can no longer walk her dog. She has been more than willing to go the extra mile to make sure we are taken care of!”

“Christy is fantastic! She jumped right in when I needed someone last minute and I am so happy to have found her. She does very well with my pit bull mix Jameson. He can be difficult sometimes, but Christy seems to take it all in stride.”

“Leah gave excellent care of my dog, Lacey. Lacey can be hesitant around new people, but Leah was able to encourage her to eat and go for her walk. Leah sent me details and photos from each visit; I felt confident Lacey was in good hands.”

About: I have had dogs my entire life. I love dogs and can’t wait to help you with the care of yours. I can help with basics of feeding walking and care. I am looking for dog walks to help myself get exercise while helping you get your dog exercise! I can help out early morning or evenings. I have an enclosed small yard and access to trails and dog parks. When your dog is with me they are part of my family!!
About: I am a recent college grad who has experience working in a veterinary setting, as well as pet sitting for 10+ years! I have experience with all kinds of pets - from dogs and cats to lizards and ferrets! I would love to take care of your pets! I have pretty flexible hours and lots of availability! I am able to be home most of the time and would be able to let out dogs frequently throughout the day. Having my own dog, it is already a priority for me to be home for him. I live in an apartment and have one super friendly, playful dog who would love to have a playmate or cuddle buddy! We go for walks daily through our neighborhood and to the lake! I can accommodate you and your pet in whatever way you need!
About: I have found a love of dog care and enrichment while training my Cockalier pup in scent work, dock diving, and tricks! My dog and I love going on daily walks and playing frisbee in the yard, and it would be my pleasure to host your pup! Currently WFH with flexible morning, lunchtime, and evening schedule, so I have plenty of time to play with your pup and get them the exercise and enrichment they need! I have a pet-friendly home and a large yard (although it is not fenced) in a safe neighborhood. I am close to many metroparks and walking trails for daily walks.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid, and now I have my own 2 adopted mutts (and my 2 fur nephews). I grew up on a farm, so I’m pretty confident with animals, but if you have any concerns or special needs I’m happy to discuss or schedule a meet and greet! I also do pet portrait photography, if you’re interested! I work full time remotely, but have primary duties in the afternoon and evenings, so I’m almost always free for a midday stroll or potty break! At our house there are 4 dogs and lots of kids running in and out, but if your pup is okay with that there’s a huge back yard with a tether, or a neighborhood with sidewalks for walks if that’s more their speed. At your house, I follow your rules! I love to know your dogs favorite spots and which houses are “behind enemy lines.” I’m 6’4 and my hound is quite the rhinoceros, so I can walk the best of them!
About: I’ve worked with dogs professionally for several years as the owner and trainer behind Left Turn Canine Training. I specialize in balanced training, helping dogs learn obedience, confidence, and good manners through clear communication and consistency. At home, I share life with three very different dogs who’ve each taught me something unique. Charlie, my Miniature Pinscher, lost both of his eyes due to health issues and continues to remind me how much dogs can adapt with the right structure and support. Hank, my French Bulldog, keeps things lighthearted and goofy, proving that a sense of humor goes a long way in dog training. And then there’s Maverick, another French Bulldog who I originally trained for a client. Due to severe behavioral issues caused by poor breeding, his owner couldn’t safely keep him around family. Knowing Maverick as well as I did, and understanding what he needed to thrive, I adopted him rather than see him end up in a shelter where he likely wouldn’t have made it. He’s a work in progress, but he’s also proof that even the most challenging dogs deserve understanding and a chance at stability. My experience spans everything from puppy training to behavioral modification and off-leash work. Whether your dog just needs a mid-day walk or some structured guidance while you’re away, you can feel confident that your pet will be handled with skill, empathy, and a trainer’s eye for safety and calm behavior. As a professional dog trainer and the owner of Left Turn Canine Training, my schedule is flexible enough to allow time for drop-in visits, walks, and pet care. I’m typically available in the mornings, afternoons, and early evenings, with weekends open for additional visits. Because I work with dogs daily, my calendar can shift around training sessions. This means I can often accommodate last-minute bookings when needed. I currently share my home with my own three dogs (all trained and on the same structured routine) so I do not bring outside dogs into my home unless they are part of one of my training programs. This helps maintain calm, consistency, and safety for everyone. For Rover clients, I offer walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays in your home, where your dog is most comfortable. During visits, I make sure your dog’s needs are fully met. This includes feeding, fresh water, and cleanup to companionship, play, and structured walks. I’m trained to read canine body language and ensure every dog feels safe, secure, and respected while in my care.
“Lauren was very prompt and professional. She showed up right on time! Duke loved his walk with her and we thought she was great! Will definitely be re-booking her for more walks with Duke & Rolo!”

About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was in my 20’s. I have experience with overnight care, long stays, walking and medication/ special care. I have worked for clients with deaf dogs and even senior dogs. I’m a stay at home mom now so I have availability all the time and will always be here with your dogs. We are a very outdoors family and have a large fenced in yard for your pups to run and play safely. My children have been pet sitting with me since they were babies and love to give affection and attention to all of our dog guests as well. I am currently a stay at home mom of six who homeschools. My availability is completely open. We spend most of our time at home or outdoors at a park. We have a large fenced in yard at our home. I can walk, play, feed and even groom or bath the dogs if needed. Your pups will always be safe at our home as safety is a top priority when I pet sit. We have toys, treats and dog bowls for when our furry friends stay with us. I have experience with sign language for deaf dogs, and also have experience with medication, dispensing, special diets, nail trimming and even haircuts for your pups.
About: I stand out as a sitter because I bring a deep passion for animal care, reliability, and personalized attention to every pet I look after. With experience handling dogs of all ages, I’m comfortable with everything from energetic puppies needing structure and basic training to senior dogs requiring gentle care and patience. I prioritize exercise, mental stimulation, and a loving environment to keep pets happy and healthy. Whether your pet needs long walks, playtime, or extra cuddles, I tailor my care to their unique needs—just like they’re my own! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine, as I prioritize giving animals the attention, exercise, and structure they need. Whether it’s morning walks, play sessions, feeding times, or cozy wind-down moments, I seamlessly integrate pet care into my schedule. Since I have experience coaching and training, I understand the importance of consistency and positive reinforcement, making sure each pet feels secure and engaged. Whether for a single visit or extended care, I’m committed to providing dependable and loving service every day of the week! I provide a safe, comfortable, and engaging environment for pets, whether in my home or my client’s. I focus on personalized care, ensuring each pet gets the attention, exercise, and affection they need. In My Home: • A clean, pet-friendly space with plenty of room to relax and play. • Structured routines for feeding, potty breaks, and exercise to maintain consistency. • Walks, playtime, and enrichment activities tailored to the pet’s energy level and needs. • A calm and cozy resting area for relaxation. In Your Home: • I maintain your pet’s normal routine to reduce stress and ensure comfort. • Regular walks, play sessions, and any special care needs (medications, training reinforcement, etc.). • Keeping your home tidy and respecting your space while caring for your pet. • Lots of love, attention, and updates so you know your pet is happy and well cared for! No matter where I’m caring for your pet, their happiness and well-being are my top priorities!
“Olivia is wonderful! This is our first Rover service, and we could not be happier. She came to meet us before booking service, and we immediately felt comfortable. She was wonderful with our pup…and we were able to enjoy our time away. Thank you so much, Olivia! We will be booking again soon. ??”
