About: I have had (and loved!) dogs and cats my entire life. I also have 10 years of animal rescue volunteer experience, primarily fostering cats and kittens, which is how I acquired my two beautiful foster fails, Penelope and Toulouse! Through rescue work, I've cared for animals from all kinds of backgrounds and learned the importance of patience, understanding, and letting each pet warm up at their own pace. I've even developed a bit of a reputation as an animal whisperer, and I'd love the chance to get to know your pets and help them feel safe and comfortable, no matter how shy they might be! I recently graduated from college and am studying for the MCAT during my gap year, so my schedule is very flexible (apart from some minimal travel plans). Typically, I volunteer in the mornings, so late morning to afternoons work a bit better for me, but with advance notification, I can usually make most times work. I am not able to care for pets at my own place, but I am happy to come to yours to take care of your pets however they need!
About: I have a special dog who has experienced intense anxiety. It has taught me patience and sympathy and has changed my life in very unique ways. I have grown to understand animals in a much more compassionate way. I work full time but I am in a less demanding season of the year and would love to help. I would love to use that time to assist others the same way Rover has assisted me. I am considerate of their personal boundaries and show as much love as I can to keep them comfortable in every way. The goal is to build trust

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 10 and have had animals my whole life. I have volunteered at many shelters and fostered previously. I have experience with older, shy, more understanding needed animals. We are used to training puppies so can keep up with any needed continued care. I work from home and am able to give my full attention to your fur baby. I can move my breaks around for bathroom or attention breaks. My 5 year old GoldenDoodle will keep them company all day, as well. We have a fenced in yard and will keep your animal safe and loved. During walks if desired we have a fully sidewalked neighborhood. We have couch covers for the dogs to be able to get on the furniture if desired. If coming to your home I will leave everything as you left it, with the exception of your animal feeling relieved and loved.

“Karen is dependable and punctual! She is very professional and at the same time I can tell my dog really enjoyed his walks with her. I cannot recommend her highly enough, and I will not hesitate to request her again. Her knowledge about dogs is also extremely helpful. I needed someone to walk my dog after a surgical procedure and I couldn’t be more happy that I chose Karen.”

About: I have been a professional dog trainer for 20 years working with everything from police dogs, therapy dogs, service dogs, rescue dogs, sport dogs, and happy go lucky pets so it’s safe to say I’ve seen and worked with it all! But my big thing is really teaching dogs how to be dogs as that is where I find the root of most dogs behavioral problems. So I am happy to help people who live busy lives to come in and play with, walk, and socialize with your dog. I am the owner of my own dog training business, Dogs by Nature, and create my own schedule. So as long as I have notice I can be flexible. I also offer $5 off if you go through my business vs Rover For the most part I go to clients homes and care for your dog there. I’m happy to fallow any instructions left.

About: I have had animals my whole life. Mostly cats, dogs and rats. I have experience with diabetic dogs and cats, so I am comfortable giving insulin injections if needed.

If your pet requires anything else specific to keep them happy and healthy, I am happy to learn their needs and routines. I am currently an artist that sells my work online and at some in person events. This generally leaves me with a lot of flexibility during the weekdays and weekends where I am not at events. I will keep my availability up to date so that it can accurately show when I am able to come check on your fur baby. I think its most important for your pets to feel safe with me, so I always try to introduce myself slowly and maintain any routines your household has developed for them. I am also happy to send daily photos as I check in, that always makes me feel better when I am away from my cats, so happy to do that or anything else to have you feel good about leaving your furry family in my care.

I typically work from approximately 4am-9am and spend the days with my toddler after I’m off. Your pet would spend the day either by playing in the yard, going on an adventure, or enjoying a relaxing day on the couch. I want your pets to have the most relaxed experience possible while they’re away from home. My yard is completely fenced in and my two dogs, (a 35lb beagle mix and a 50 lb shepherd mix) love other dogs and will be happy to keep your pup company.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
