About: I've been taking care of animals since I was 15 years old. From neighbors to work friends, I have loved every second with their furry friends! I love watching how each dog plays differently, some just want to lay down and be lazy while others can get the roomies for an hour and still not be tired, never a dull moment and I love it! In my experience in caring for dogs, I have given medicine for sick pups, took them on walks, and always made sure they were fed and loved! I am currently working full-time from 7:30-4, M-F. After 4 would work best, but am also an early bird to help before work in the morning as well :) I am also available all day on Saturday and Sunday. I do not offer care for pets in my home. This is due to the fact that I have two dogs of my own and wouldn't feel comfortable with them with other dogs, as they can get nippy. Please understand that I have this set for the safety of both of our loved furry friends. With that being said, I am more than happy to offer popping in to your home, if this is more preferred!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was about 10 years old when I got my first puppy. I’ve learned how to bathe and properly take care of dogs as well as give them the best playtime! I love taking walks with them or doing anything to keep the furbabies properly maintained and loved! I’m also well trained with senior dogs and puppies as far as administering medications to helping them use the bathroom I’m currently working a full time job while I’m in school so my schedule is the same everyday with me working 8:30 am-4 pm and my days off are Wednesday and Sunday. Im available on the weekdays in the afternoon and any time on my days off! I am very well trained with dogs and leashes I have very good control over the pet especially out in public. I can read a dogs body language very well to tell when they are uncomfortable,need extra love or even some extra space. I am trained with cpr and I have experience administering medications
About: I grew up in a small town on a farm. I love animals & dogs hold a special place in my heart. I have always had a dog along with many other farm animals growing up & it makes life so much more sweeter! I am a college student doing small jobs to stay busy while I finish my master’s degree. I’m always up for a good walk & time in the sunshine. I love in a house with family & my puppy. He is very friendly & loves to meet other dogs. I have no problem crating, walking, feeding, playing fetch, and keeping your dog happy.
“Stephanie was great and our pups loved her! We originally booked for 3 days but our flights were changed and we needed to book 2 more days, she was extremely flexible and accommodating for the last minute request. She also came by our home for a meet and greet a week prior to our booking so I felt totally comfortable with her checking on our dogs while we were out of town. We will definitely be booking with her for our next trip!”
“My cat was a bit shy with new people and difficult to deal with. She still did a great job and I would recommend her. Provided great updates and feedback to give us a peace of mind while away.”
About: I grew up with dogs both big and small but have the most experience caring for smaller dogs, including bathing, medication providing, feeding, walking, playing, and treat giving!! I work as a full-time medical Speech-Language Pathologist M-F, so I am available almost all weekend days or evenings, and holidays, to care for your pets! I am happy to take your dogs (or cats!) on walks or complete drop-ins, including feeding, administering medications, playing, brushing, providing bathroom breaks, cleaning litter boxes, or whatever else your pet wants or needs :)
“Cheerio loved Alexandra’s drop-in visits! As a first-timer on Rover, Alexandra’s experience with pet care and Rover made the whole process seem-less and worry free. Very happy with Alexandra’s pet care and the Rover experience. Will book again in the future. 👍🏼”
About: I love dogs. I prefer small dogs. I will love and treat your dog like it's my own. I have always helped out friends who need me to care for their dogs. I currently work full time but my schedule is flexible. Please just ask and we can see if we can make things work. Nothing is impossible. I have a fenced yard.

About: With 20+ years of experience, I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I have extensive senior dog experience, am comfortable administering medications, and understand that every pet has unique needs. My goal is to make every walk or visit a safe, fun, and positive experience. 🐾 Because my schedule isn’t a typical 9-to-5, I often have availability at times that work well for busy pet parents. I’m happy to coordinate a schedule that keeps your pets happy and cared for. I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, and lots of love. I take the time to get to know each pet’s unique personality, quirks, and routine so they feel comfortable and cared for while their family is away. Building trust with pets in their own environment is one of my favorite parts of pet care, and there’s nothing better than watching a shy or unfamiliar face become a happy friend who’s excited to see me.
“AMAZING!!! First time leaving my girls with anyone other than family and she was exactly what this over protective furmom needed. I highly recommend and will be using her on the future. She went beyond what I was expecting. ☆☆☆☆☆”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Avondale
Our pups absolutely love having Lindsey come over to check on them. I naturally have anxiety for my dogs having to be away from us, and being able to feel comfortable with having someone come into the home to care for them has been wonderful. We highly recommend Lindsey!
Thank you for checking in on the pups! I’m glad you were able to spend some time with them. Would it be ok if I out you in a group texting chat with four other girls only for the purposes of using the chat in the future if called out of town for that transplant? If yes, please confirm your phone number . And if you’re uncomfortable with that no worries, I’m happy to contact you on rover. I just figured it will be easier to coordinate something last minute with the group of emergency pet care roster I’ve created. Thank you for being willing to jump in if you’re available when that time comes!
We had Allyson do a drop in when we took a day trip to Phoenix. She had stayed with our pets for a long weekend, so we were perfectly comfortable that all would go well. And it did. She’s a great communicator and really cares about our animals. Highly recommend her!

If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
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 Avondale 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 .
