About: Ive grown up breeding dogs and then furthered my love by getting my degree in Vet Tech! I have a Chocolate Lab who has gone coast to coast with me and is as spoiled as can be! We always try to have a foster dog from Heart of the Valley in our home as well! Every dog should get love in my eyes! I am currently in between jobs and don’t start my new position for about 2 weeks so I am always available! Even when starting my new position i will be available all morning. I care for pets in others homes as it is my own home. I believe their safety and comfort is so important so treating them how they would if you were home is top priority
About: Reliable, experienced, and genuinely happy to be there. That's what your dog gets with me. I'm a full-time professional pet sitter focused on drop-in visits and neighborhood walks, and I've been caring for animals for twenty years, from friends' and family's pets to 25+ five-star house-sitting stays through TrustedHousesitters, plus a growing record here on Rover. I've worked with puppies through seniors, high-energy dogs, anxious dogs, and dogs on complicated medication schedules. Most of what I do is simple, and I do it the same way every time. Your dog gets out, gets exercise suited to their age and energy, gets fed on schedule, and gets real attention instead of a rushed fifteen minutes. If they're reactive, shy, or slow to warm up to strangers, tell me. I'd rather move slowly on the first visit than push a dog who isn't ready. I answer messages the moment they come in, since my phone and watch are always on me, and I send photo updates through Rover Cards after every single visit. You'll never wonder whether I showed up. Pet care is my full-time work, not something I fit around another job. That means I can cover midday walks while you're at the office, twice-daily visits while you're traveling, and I'm often able to take same-day requests when something comes up. My calendar is updated daily. If you see availability, it's real. I care for pets in their own homes, where they're most comfortable. On the first visit I confirm the essentials in writing: entry and lockup, leash and harness setup, where the leash lives, any door or gate a dog can slip through, food storage and portions, and your vet's information. I lock up behind me every time, keep dogs leashed unless we're in a securely fenced space you've approved, and text you right away if anything seems off, whether it's a limp, a skipped meal, or an unusual mess. I'd rather send a message you didn't need than stay quiet about something that mattered. I'm also Pet First Aid & CPR certified, so if something more serious ever comes up, I have the training to respond rather than just guess what to do.
“Hannah was extremely valuable as a last minute reservation for dog walking! She communicated very well and treated our pups with all the attention and love. Would definitely book her again in the future!”
About: My three grown children and their families know they can count on me to care for their pets when they’re on vacation, away for work or simply need an extra hand. Their dogs, cats, bunnies and lizards are my grandpets, and they love their bonus grandma!

About: I have grown up having pets of my own and been responsible for at least part of their care for as long as I can remember. Ever since I was 15 or so I have cared for a variety of dogs and cats, in addition to the occasional chicken or rodent, for friends, family, and strangers alike. I genuinely enjoy getting to spend time around any animal, particularly because I don't have any of my own out here. I am a graduate student and work part-time so I have lots of flexible availability to hang out with pets of all kinds! My schedule is constantly shifting which means I do often have gaps in my days to walk or care for animals. I can play with or walk dogs in the comfort of their own home, or take them elsewhere for a hike or park adventure, as I have a decent sized car and am comfortable sharing my space. It's also easy to just take some time out of my day to be around pets who need companionship or some love on a daily basis.

I currently have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I'm available for boarding on weekends and for walks, drop-in visits, daycare, and pet sitting on weekdays. I enjoy staying active and love spending time with pets, whether that means long walks, playtime, or simply providing companionship and care while you're away. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I provide a calm, loving environment and closely follow each pet's routine, feeding schedule, and any special instructions. In your home, I treat your space with respect and provide regular updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away.

Currently I am a full time student at MSU, offering extended amounts of time to dedicate to be with pets flexible with my school schedule. Offering some mornings, evenings, depending on the day, and weekends! I have a house that has a large backyard space with grass and concrete, but no fence. I currently do not have pets of my own so they would not run into any animals there.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats alike since I was 14 years old. My main experience in home has been with small/medium sized breeds as I have always lived in an apartment. However, I have dog sat larger breeds for my neighbors and a few friends before as well. I also used to volunteer at an animal shelter called NKLA with best friends society. Here I worked with cats and dogs. I cleaned kennels, socialized with animals to prepare them for adoption, and walked multiple dogs (mainly pitbull breeds). I have owned my own dog for the last 2.5 years who is a medium sized chihuahua/pitbull mix named Athena. She’s on a routine feeding schedule and is walked every 4-6 hours, last time being at 10pm. I have experience with bathing dogs but only have a tub at this current apartment. No grooming experience. I am also comfortable administering medications as my pup takes her own! I have also worked in small animal veterinary medicine. Currently work nights at MSU so I’m available anytime before 4pm. Also have Fridays and Saturdays off but tend to work our football games on occasion! I update my availability frequently once I know I’m out of town as well. I currently have a fenced in back-yard along with a very spacious home with an additional dog bed and a medium sized kennel as needed. My dog is super friendly minus feeding times which would be separated. I like to make sure at least a 30 minute walk twice a day is given & at least an hour overall of playtime. Especially for more energetic breeds!

Taylor does a fantastic job. He was available very last minute for me and always does a great job. He shows up on time and does exactly what is asked of him. Layka loves to go on her walks with him as well. Very reliable, I would highly recommend him for whatever your need may be:)

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 Blackwood. 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. 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.

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 .
walkers on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
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.
