Kaleigh is amazing, she ensures Fitz is well cared for and loved. She takes Fitz on different adventures throughout the week to changes things up for him! We’re so lucky to have her as our dog walker :)

About: I have had a special place in my heart for animals of all kind my whole life. I have a dog and three cats of my own and I have dogsat for friends and family on many occasions for prolonged periods. By day, I am a Pharmacy Technician, which means I’m patient, empathetic, and have medical experience (I’m very comfortable administering medication and injections). I work full time but I have the time to give your pet quality time and attention, walks, bathroom breaks, and whatever other special care they might need. I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes and temperaments and kitties of all attitudes. I will make sure your pet is cared for in the way that they’re used to being cared for so they feel comfortable and you feel at ease knowing they’re in good hands. For winter walks, I follow a safety-first policy. If sidewalks are icy, there is freezing rain/sleet, or conditions are unsafe for walking, I may need to cancel or reschedule. I’ll always give as much notice as possible.

About: I grew up with a lot of animals. I feel happy spending time with them and they are indispensable to me. and I love animals! I'm finishing school so I can spend more time with pets. The job is part-time so it's very flexible and pet sitting fits into my lifestyle. We have a fenced yard where they can play outside in safety, and we have an old golden retriever who is very friendly and affectionate

About: I take pets of any age, species and size! I love to train and groom, also have extensive veterinary knowledge and am fear free and pet first aid certified. I would love more pets to look after! (I can provide nail trims and some grooming services free of charge with booking 🩷 🐾 ) I’m usually free throughout the week and my work is client based so I don’t have a set schedule. Your pets are your family and I will do whatever I can to be there for them at all times! I have 2 senior dogs currently who require a close eye for their own safety so I am used to watching over them all the time. I can meet whatever food, medication and outing rules you have for your pets and can provide grooming for them as well

About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was 10 years old. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, and look after their pets while they were away. I’m attentive, responsible, and always adapt to each pet’s personality and routine. Whether it’s playtime, calm companionship, or basic care, I genuinely enjoy making pets feel safe and happy. I currently work part-time, which allows me to have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for cats. I can easily adapt to their routines, including feeding times, playtime, and quiet companionship. I’m available during weekdays and weekends, and I always make sure each cat feels calm, safe, and well cared for. I prioritize calm, safe, and respectful care in the cat’s own home. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions, keep the environment clean (especially litter boxes and feeding areas), and respect each cat’s personality and boundaries. I always make sure doors and windows are secure, and I provide regular updates so owners feel at ease.

Carly was exceptional for the limited time I required a dog walker while I recovered from surgery. Carly was very flexible with timings, overall care for Stanley and he would wait at the door after she left to go back out with her. Would highly recommend Carly for dog walking to anyone needing the rover service.

Miranda was fantastic. She was very accommodating with some specific timings I needed my dog walked at and she was always willing to go above and beyond by letting me know when she was with her. She was prompt with communication and made this process easy. I highly recommend her to be involved in your pets lives!

About: Hi there, My name is Carissa and I have been caring for animals for 15 years now from dogs to harp seals. I am energetic and love hiking and walking, but I am also a good snuggle buddy if need be. I do not mind stopping in to administer medications or just for company and a pee break. We have a fenced yard and a dog friendly house. I love dogs of all sizes. I help run an animal shelter called Beagle Paws. I have two dogs of my own a 1 year old beagle and an 13 year old mixed breed. I love dogs of any breed or size, age or breed. Please contact me for a visit so we can meet and get to know each other. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends. Thanks Carissa. I am currently on maternity leave with a 6 month old baby so am home most of the day and enjoy daily walks and lots of play time. I have a fenced yard an two gated porches at both entrances of our home. When fireworks or storms occur I make sure dogs are leashed when exiting the house.

About: I've taken care of three different types of medium and large dogs in my family as I've grown up. One was a German shepherd/husky mix, another was a terrier/Shih Tzu mix, and my current dog is a black Labrador retriever. I have come to understand just how much of a responsibility comes with being a dog owner ever since I was little, so I know it's not always just a walk in the park (pun intended). I am experienced with both senior dogs and puppies, and am extremely attentive in order to cater to their needs. Safety is always a priority to me as well as properly maintained communication between myself and any client/employer. I am available any day, as long as I am given at least a day's notice in advance. I am also a part-time online student during the spring semester, so I have a fairly flexible schedule for pet care. I always make sure my own dog has access to water and feed him on schedule everyday (getting up early is not an issue). I make sure to pay attention to whenever he needs to be let outside to do his business or if he needs to get some energy out. His exercise is also a priority whether that be walking, running, or playing fetch in a field. While on walks, I keep him on-leash unless in an enclosed public field for dogs and I carry poop bags with me at all times when I take my dog anywhere.

About: I have loved animals for as long as I can remember, I grew up with dogs and cats always in the house. They became my best friends and as I got older I realized that nothing would make me happier then getting to work with animals everyday. I started my own dog walking and sitting business when I was 18. I ran this for several years, earning the trust of countless people to enter their homes and care for their animals. Now close to 10 years later I have decided to get back into pet care. I am so excited to meet you and your pets! I know we will get along great. I have been working as a Registered Massage Therapist for the last 3 years but recently I have been experiencing pain in my shoulder due to the nature of my work. So I am stepping away from massage to focus back in on pet care as a full time passion. So I have plenty of time through the days evenings and weekends for whatever pet care services you require. My animals have always been treated like my children and your animals would be no exception to this. I look forward to learning their unique needs and the best ways to connect with them.

Autumn is simply fantastic with our dogs. They scare some people when they first meet, but she wasn't tricked by them, and now they love her. She communicates great for any timing changes and is always quick to reply.
