About: I love all animals! I currently have 2 cats of my own 4 geckos, a ball python, and a tarantula as a pet. I have experience caring for animals such as all different types of dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, rodents, and fish. I started as a receptionist at a multiple doctor Veterinary Hospital in my hometown in Rhode Island. I learned a lot but I wanted a more of a challenge and to expand my skillset. I applied to be an entry level Veterinary Technician assistant at Ocean State Veterinary Specialists- an extremely busy Veterinary ER which included 24 hour ER care, inpatient hospitalization, cardiology, radiology, CT, Surgery, oncology, etc. At that point I could not touch the animals, I was there specifically to clean, do laundry, stock the hospital, train other employees and help with animal aftercare. At Ocean State Veterinary Specialists they had a training program in place where you could start out as an entry level technician assistant and move up levels and be offered more responsibilities. I worked up through the 4 levels of technician assistant (learning how to restrain pets for treatment, how to do x-rays, learning how to perform different tests in our laboratory, obtaining vitals and what was normal and abnormal, basic blood draws, basic treatments for hospitalized pets, etc.) And because of my hardwork, determination, and attention to detail I was then was picked by the Doctors and the main owner of the hospital to do the Technician training program they had available at the hospital. So I went through vigorous training which included on the floor training with seasoned Veterinary Technicians, we also had lectures and labs and tests we had to complete. I passed the training that was provided and I was then considered a new technician in the hospital. I had many learning opportunities including training with one of the ER critical care doctors (Dr. Jessica Sun) anesthesia training with the lead tech from surgery, training to help the doctors perform medical procedures with an established tech and more. My training continued for a few years and I ended up in my role as one of the main ER technicians. In my role I triaged and helped perform immediate life saving measures on all types of animals (including exotic pets) I also did work in the treatment section of the hospital a couple of times a week so I helped care for hospitalized patients who for example: recently had surgery, blocked cats who had urinary catheters, pets waiting to see specialists like Oncology and cardiology. I also cared for geriatric patients, neonates (babies that were just born) puppies, kittens. I also enjoyed working with our hospitalized exotics which typically included a variety of rabbits, guinea pigs, birds, reptiles etc. I could go on about my experience at the hospital. I learned so much there and am extremely grateful for working there. I am comfortable administering by mouth medication, fluids under the skin, insulin injections, etc. I am willing to provide my resume and more information as far as my previous work experience per request. I am very accommodating. I update my schedule very frequently and I will work with you and your schedule to be there for your pets when I am needed. I will do everything in my power to make sure pets are comfortable in their own home and taken of the way I would like my pets to be cared for!
About: I've cared for dogs since I was ten years old. I've cared for puppies and senior dogs, and I have far too much experience with elderly dogs near the end of their lives. I love them all more than words, and it's a dream to get paid to play with new dogs! My first responsibility is as a dad (of human children), so I'm available for dogs from the minute the kids leave in the morning until the minute they walk in the door in the afternoon. I have wilderness emergency medical training, and carry basic dog supplies even on short walks around my own block. I treat dogs with the utmost love and care, and only want them to live good and happy lives.

About: I’ve had my own animals, both cats and dogs (mainly cats) since I was 6 years old. I’ve had to administer insulin before to my diabetic cat that has since passed. My experience with dogs are mainly of the bigger size (I had a pitbull/boxer mix and a pure bred chow chow). I’m currently working as a Direct Support Professional overnights 9pm-9am Thursday through Saturday (technically Sunday 9am). So I’m pretty open for picking up last minute gigs if needed. I would love to have a break down of your pets day to day. Typically when they are most ready to play or eat. When potty breaks need to be done around.
“Kenda was wonderful with Az! Kenda filled in for our regular morning walker for 2 weeks and she was reliable, efficient and kind. Az loved her. She was a real pleasure to work with!”

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 Canaan. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Canaan after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

Every walker 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.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have.

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Canaan. On Rover:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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 walker 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 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 Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
