“It was our first time using Rover and our dog walker, Beth, did an awesome job. She kept me updated throughout the whole process and shared lots of photos! I know our pup is in good hands with Beth! Would definitely recommend!”

“Angel is a gem of a person and a fantastic dog walker. The way she has clicked with my reserved and scared dog, which has allowed my dog to open up and be happy - it’s great to see. My dog is always so excited to see her for their walks and it has led to my dog’s positive mental health. Angel is prompt, extremely communicative, and very easy to reschedule with. Highly recommend booking with Angel for your dog’s walks!”

About: When I think about what pets need I, of course, think of food and water, but also love and patience. What sets me apart from other sitters is my determination to provide pets with all four. As a pet owner myself I’m capable of caring for all the needs a pet has. My childhood dog, Bear, is now a senior dog and has to be taken care of in ways we never had to when he was younger. Since I live in different states now, the visit at the vet was a scary one for my mother as well as for me since. His constant cough had the vet looking at his heart and since he’s an older dog we only expected bad news. With the cough medicine they gave my mom we knew things were about to change. I helped my mom with suggestions on a few accommodations for him like adding a step stool on the side of the bed and changing his diet as well. She would explain now in the mornings she has to feed him his medication for breakfast (which she hides in a slice of Turkey so he doesn’t notice). During exercise we learned we had to make sure they were slow paced, gauging how he was feeling and taking breaks when he visibly looked tired. All these extra steps she takes every day makes me love and appreciate him even more even if it’s from a distance. Whether it be a puppy or a senior dog, whenever I’m visiting them I’m always eager to take care and show my love for them. We also have another dog, Bella, that’s a few years younger than my senior dog and I was able to train both of them to use the new doggy door we installed. It took time and patience but now they come in and out without my help. I have experience in caring for my dogs from laying out pee pads to showing them new tricks even as they get older. I realized that my mom is fortunate enough to have a schedule to be able to care for her dogs, but not everyone is the same. That’s why I want to help my community, to care for their pets especially for those with extra needs. I’m willing to meet the pets beforehand to make sure we’re a great fit! Pet care fits perfectly in both my daily and weekly routine since I would say I’ve perfected it over the years. Since installing a doggy door I didn’t have to worry about their potty breaks anymore as they go in and out freely. However before then, I worked close to home so I would feed them in the morning, let them out before work, drop in during my lunch and let them out, and after work we would go for a walk. They also learned that sitting against the sliding door was a sign they needed to go to the bathroom. For my cats, I set up specific times to feed them and I will adjust the time frames if need be. I always made time for their needs on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis. Providing my pets with food and water is the basic necessity I give them to show them I care for their well being. I also make sure to are up to date with their shots and vaccinations. They are groomed every month and for my previous cats who were outdoors we put a tick collar on them. Taking my dogs on walks is how I used to get them their daily exercise in and for my cats playing with them with their toys though they get plenty enough on their own with their zoomies. All my pets were already spayed/neutered before we adopted them and during the adoption process we set up their microchips. My pets have all slept indoor and have various places for them to roam, play, and sleep. I understand the importance of daily playtime therefore I devote at minimum 30 minutes a day. For my dogs I would play fetch and utilize various cat toys with catnip for my cats. I make sure to clean up after my pets both outside and inside. Cleaning their bowls and their droplets.

About: I have had a love for animals since I was a young child. At the age of 8, against my parents wishes I snuck in an abandoned cat and it ended up being where my love for animals began. We have had many types of pets since then. Currently we have a 3 year-old German Shepherd whom we rescued from a shelter at 4 months of age. We also have a 1 year old Australian Cattle dog who is super energetic. I love spending time with animals, dogs in particular, because they are so playful, happy and full of unconditional love. I am responsible, caring and will take great care of you pet because I know that they are not only “pets” but are also members of your family. I will care for your pet like I would care for my own pets. I work full-time as a nurse practitioner but just started working some days from home. I figured, why not do something I love while also getting exercise at the same time. I am able to mainly available for pet care on the weekends. I am able to accomplish most evening/late evening or very early morning walks. Every other Tuesday I work from home so am able to break up my schedule this day. I care for my dogs in my backyard, which is fenced in. She is able to run around freely because we do have a large yard which allows her to burn off her energy. We also play fetch and she is able to spend a lot of her time running around there. We also go for walks around the neighborhood.

About: I’ve always loved all pets! Grew up raising all kinds of farm animals. I currently have 2 dogs and I love taking them on adventures! I have a hybrid work schedule. WFH 2-3 days out of the week. I am a home body so I am usually at home if I’m not at work. I have plenty of time to focus on my pups! I treat my dogs as if this is their home and want them as comfortable as they can be. My dogs are always allowed on the bed and couches and roam as they please. They eat twice a day and have endless access to potty breaks in the back yard! The most I am out of the house is when I have to go to work, and can usually stop by for lunch and let them potty!

“Shiloh and I thank you Crystal so much for all the play time he had with you. Not to mention the great pictures you captured of his yard time. Shiloh request to see you again. So we'll see ya soon. ?”

About: I’m a retired nurse who now wants to turn my nurturing skills to animals! I have had dogs and cats for many years (currently one dog) and have cared for others’ pets as well. I have experience administering medication to both cats and dogs. My dog Rocky and I are excited at the thought of having your pet in our home! We promise to taking loving care of your fur baby. I am usually home other than watching my grandchildren several hours a week. This is a flexible arrangement which allows me to frequently check in at home. I have a fenced in yard and a friendly dog to keep our guests company. I can accommodate pad trained dogs as well as outdoor trained.

“My dog, Daphne, loved Jonie and was eager to go on her first walk with her! Jonie took a lot of care to make sure she wiped off Daphne's paws when it was raining, she offered to brush her teeth, and she seemed concerned about making sure she had all of the care instructions needed for Daphne. I also think it's important that Jonie is licensed, insured, and is able to transport pets, in case of an emergency. When I was giving Jonie information about Daphne's vet, in case it was needed, she was even familiar with staff there! I would definitely hire Jonie again and recommend her to others.”

“Melissa was great! She came over in advance to meet the dogs and learn their routines and she did a great job walking them while I was at work. Definitely calling her again :)”
