I have walked, bathed, fed, snuggled and played with them! I am a full time worker, five days a week, nine hours a day from 9AM to 6PM. And I also have a part-time job that I do on the weekends, but I am still open to any service I could possibly provide for you and your pet! I receive my part-time job schedule weekly schedule every Saturday, so communication is key. I will care for your pets in your home by providing them the care that they need, walks, runs, snuggles, playtime, you name it! If there is anything specific you want me to know or abide by please let me know and I will make sure you and your pet are left satisfied :)

About: While I’m new to Rover, I’ve been caring for pets for friends and family for the past four years, in addition to caring for my own pets throughout my life. My previous dog, a Yorkie, gave me experience caring for a senior pet, including administering eye drops, following medication schedules, and managing a special diet. My current dog, Bella, is a 10-month-old AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy graduate who has taught me plenty about keeping up with energetic young dogs! I also share my home with two friendly, affectionate senior cats, so I’m comfortable caring for pets of different ages and temperaments. I work Sunday through Wednesday, so my Thursdays through Saturdays are completely dedicated to your pup! My black Labrador, Bella, and I typically walk 1–2 miles three times a day. On hotter days, we switch to indoor enrichment and training games instead of long walks. Whether your dog loves an adventure or prefers a slower pace, I’m happy to tailor their stay to their individual needs. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I only accept dogs that are a good fit for my home and Bella, and I always recommend a meet-and-greet beforehand. Whether I’m boarding, dropping in for a visit, or taking your pup on a walk, I’ll follow their normal routine and tailor my care to their energy level and needs. I’ll also keep you updated with photos so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind.
About: I am a former dog owner who's trained a few dogs. I will treat the dog like my own! I understand the importance of routine, exercise, and cuddles! I work full time. Mostly from home. My significant other has an alternative schedule so the dog would be under 24 hour supervision. I can't wait to have a buddy with me throughout the day! I understand how anxious your paw partner may be while you are away -- I am here to console your paw partner until you are back 💕 I live in a single home with a large fenced backyard with a pool they can play in! Great parks and trails nearby. Dogs will have freedom in all rooms of the home. Dog will be supervised 20-24 hours a day. This helps me ensure pet safety and quick turnaround on any changes to health and/or behaviors.
About: I’ve had about 5 years of personal experience taking care of doggies from puppies to full grown dogs! Ive also helped take care of my bestfriends dog while she was out of town, feeding her, loving on her, playing with her, going on walks! Im looking forward to creating a bond with your furbabies and taking great care of them :) Im unemployed at the moment so I have lots of free time during the day in between the hours of 10am-4pm. Id love to be able to assist in anyway I can to help take care of your pets, whether it be just a little check up, playtime, walking, or refilling water bowls while youre away at work. I love giving time and love to my aunts dogs they are hounds. From going on walks to playing inside with a good toy or even just interacting with them outside and allowing them to run around to get their energy out. Physical activity is very important for dogs health as it is for humans so combining the 2 is definitely something I look forward to. Both getting in good exercise and not being stuck in the house all day! Adventure awaits !
“Michelle was great with my dog. We met ahead of time and I felt great about having her drop in while we were away. My dog got the break he needed and some playtime and treats as well. I would definitely recommend Michelle and would rebook next time I need someone.”
“Steph took absolutely wonderful care of my two pups! She was very communicative and a complete sweetheart! I’d definitely book with her again. Highly recommended :)”
About: I love dogs more than humans! I was a dog trainer for a short time and worked at a veterinary office as kennel assistant. I also volunteer at a local shelter. I am currently a virtual case manager for a foster base rescue, going on three years. I’ve dog sat for multiple people and friends with going to their house, for walks or visits. If I were to come to you, i would let the dog out in the yard or for a walk and give plenty of pet loving and any additional notes you have for me! I will not take a dog to a dog park for safety reasons. I will do everything in my power to take care of your dog, just as I would want someone to take care of my dog. I am available at different times of the week. I am typically home but I am on call every day. I am trying to make this a part to full time gig so please be patient as I am currently changing my life around. Send me a message if you need someone and we can chat! My schedule is all over the place and i’m currently on call 5 days a week. I am trying to get enough clients where I can make a set schedule at work or make this a job. I accept fenced in years, dog walking in yard, or dog walking in the neighborhood. I prefer no dog parks unless it’s an apartment small dog park with not much traffic, just for safety reasons.
About: I am very familiar with all types of dogs! I grew up with german shepherds and most recently have fostered a Great Pyrenees. I live a very active lifestyle and am looking to go on lots of walks with your fur baby! I love giving lots of attention and ensuring interactive time with the animals in my care.

About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was 11 and I have taken care of a bunch of different animals in that time. I’m currently unemployed looking for jobs so I’m all free! I will be available pretty often. I will be doing online school around October and will be asynchronous and online. I am available very often. I can stick to pet routines and any medication and dietary needs. I would sometimes be accompanied by my boyfriend who can be an extra eye.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Afton
We had such a great experience! She came over ahead of time to meet Duke, Winnie, and Green Bean, and immediately made us feel comfortable leaving them in her care. She was so kind, patient, and attentive with all three of our dogs and treated them like they were her own. You can tell she genuinely loves animals and takes the responsibility seriously. We felt completely at ease knowing our pups were being well cared for. We would absolutely recommend her and will definitely use her again!
Phyllis did an amazing job with our drop-in visits! She watched our 3 cats and dog, making sure everyone was fed, loved, and well taken care of, which included administering medication. The photo updates after every visit brought us so much peace of mind. We will definitely use Phyllis again!
This was our first booking with Rebecca, and it went great! She did two drop-ins with Zeus over the weekend. She was communicative and prompt, and provided updates with pictures and a summary of their time together. We look forward to working with her again in the future!
They are the BEST! I had a really last minute request and they responded within minutes to confirm their availability. Its really give me peace of mind knowing my pups will be taken care of, exactly as I ask, at the exact time we schedule. Thank you all so much!

Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Afton choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
