About: I grew up around dogs of all sizes in my hometown of Menomonee Falls, and caring for them has always been something I love! My siblings have dogs, including Labs, Poodles, and mixed breeds, and I enjoy spending time with all of them. I also have experience dog-sitting for friends and family while they were away on weekend getaways or vacations lasting several weeks. Most of the dogs I’ve cared for have been well-trained adults, but I’m also comfortable caring for puppies and helping meet their needs. I’m a caring, responsible, and dependable dog lover who would love to give your furry friend plenty of attention and care! I’d love to help with walks during the day while you’re at work! I’m a college student, so I usually have a flexible schedule and can often fit in pet walks during lunch breaks, evenings, or mornings when my classes allow. I also have a pretty open schedule on the weekends! I’m currently training for a marathon, but outside of my runs, I’d love to spend my extra time caring for pets and making sure they get plenty of love, attention, and exercise. I’d be happy to help whenever my schedule works for you and your pets! Since I live in university housing, I’m unable to provide boarding, but I’d love to help with dog walking, drop-in visits, and caring for your pets in the comfort of their own home! I’ve been a Resident Assistant for four years, which has helped me develop strong responsibility, reliability, and trustworthiness. I understand how important it is to feel confident that your pet is in good hands while you’re away. I live a healthy, active lifestyle through running and weightlifting, and I’m currently training for a marathon! Staying active helps me keep up with energetic pets and makes going on walks an activity I genuinely enjoy. I’ll always keep a close eye on your pet, follow your instructions and household guidelines, and make sure they receive the care, attention, and love they deserve. My goal is to give you peace of mind so you can enjoy your well-deserved time away, knowing your furry family member is safe, happy, and well cared for!

About: I currently have 2 dogs and 2 long haired cats. Being a registered nurse I have a lot of experience giving medications to humans, but also animals.

I would love to make your fur-baby feel loved and cared for while you have the peace of mind while on vacation or work. I am currently a registered nurse, so my schedule is very open and I can shift things around as needed to help out! I do not work a straight routine, so have many open spaces. I would gladly watch your animals in your home so they continue to have the comfort of their natural area and no added stress of being somewhere they do not know. I will gladly follow whatever rules or schedule you set up!

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Altoona. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins.

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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

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.
