“Tawnia is great! She’s so patient with my pups, esp since one likes to pull and the other has been defensive of our home. But Tawnia does so well with both pups and we love having her for walks!”


“Jessica was great, she contacted me about needs and expectations before scouts walk and stopped by for a meet and greet! She really cared for scout on her check in and even made sure she had plenty of water before she left! Will definitely be using Jessica again.”


“Candace is great to work with. I reached out for dog walking my two rescues. They have some quirks and she manages them well. I’m happy she’s available when I need her. I will use her service again.”


“My dog just keeps getting better. I say that every week but it's true. She is much more attentive and walks next to me with a loose leash and as much less reactive to other dogs.”


“Brooke is the absolute best! She is consistent, punctual, an excellent communicator, and our dog goes nuts when he sees her. I’ve utilized several dog walkers/sitters through Rover in the past but none are as dependable as Brooke.”


“Avery is so awesome!! Sent photos and updates, which I loved! Being away from my dog is so hard and she made it so much easier on me. Will be using Avery again and again. ❤️”


About: I’ve owned and taken care of a range of animals since I was 10. My mother founded a non-profit cat rescue I’ve assisted with and she still runs to this day. I also dog sat for various friends and family over the years. I have 2 cats currently and just love the sweet babies so much. I’ve also grown up rehabilitating all kinds of animals like frogs, snakes, moles, mice, ducks, the list goes on. I’m an animal lover in general and I’d love to get to hang out with some more and spoil them. I work from home and for myself so I’m pretty flexible on timing. We do travel at times, so advance notice is preferred when scheduling I am happy to follow the routines and rules set in place by the owner to keep the pet in its normal routine as much as possible.

“Kimberly was able to help me out last minute, which was amazing! We didn't have time to do a meet and greet, but she was still able to follow my instructions and walk my dog. She is a great communicator and I will definitely use her in the future!”


About: Living with all types of animals since I was born! One dog, two cats and two lizards in home! Three years in professional pet care, exotic care included! Aspiring vet! I currently work part time with flexible hours. Looking for a reason to switch to pet care full time! I’d love to take care of your animal and hour of the week! I like to spend time with animals in my care. Try to let me know your animal’s favorite activities! If you’re looking for a pet to be cared for in my home, I have a female husky, and two female cats, all spayed. If you have a cat or dog that doesn’t get along with the other half. We keep the cats upstairs and dogs downstairs. No need for interaction if your pet doesn’t prefer it!

“Hossanna is an incredible dog walker! She's reliable, loves what she does, and always gives thoughtful notes and pictures during her drop ins. I would absolutely recommend booking Hossanna for all your dog care needs.”

About: I have a lot of experience with dogs. Worked at animal humane for a couple of years. I Help my sister with her already established doggy daycare business currently. What's sets me apart from other sitters is I live in an apartment so I can only really watch one dog at a time. Or two dogs from same household. This is perfect for people who have dogs that either don't do well with other dogs, need extra attention, or maybe have medical issues and don't want to risk injury from other dogs knocking them down or what have you. I am also open for walks and possibly house sitting. My schedule is very flexible. I am a self employed glass artist currently. Spend a lot of time at home doing remote work for my art. I make my own schedule. So on the days I watch your pup I can spend a lot of time with it. I understand that people's pets are family. It's the same fore me. I take pet care very seriously. I will care for other people's pets as well as if they were my own. Tending to any required needs. I love spoiling the fur babies.

About: I've had dogs since I was 5 and have worked with them for the past 2 and a half years. I've trained several puppies, taken care of my own elderly pups when they had arthritis, cancer, and other illnesses that come with old age. I am fully committed to caring for your pets so long as it does not interfere with other clients. Anytime even 2am if need be. My goal is to make your pet feel as safe, comfortable, and loved as possible in the absence of their favorite humans (you). I always treat my clients and their fur babies with respect and care.

“Elliot has been a joy! They are so kind and patient with our sweet old lady who has been quite anxious from a recent move. It’s been a huge relief knowing we’ve found someone who can give our girl some love and attention on our long days at work.”



About: For as long as I can remember, dogs have been my favorite animal, and I grew up with one from the age of 6. For the past few years, I had a dog full time while training her to be a service dog through a non-profit, so I am excited to have others around to help take care of. I have some toys and treats already, and love being able to take the dog out with me when I run, or using them as an excuse to get extra exercise. My schedule is very flexible currently, allowing me to be home(or at your house) multiple times throughout the day. I am willing to work on training while your pet is under my care if interested in that.

Michael O.
“Loves animals and is a great caretaker for your pets. I trust him to watch mine when I'm away. When he was watching my cat while I was away for a couple of months, he noticed him going to the bathroom more than usual. Got him to the vet where he was diagnosed with diabetes. Michael didn't skip a beat. He switched his food per the vets instructions and gave him twice daily insulin shots until I returned. Because of his quick thinking, they caught it early and my cat was in remission within a couple of months.”
