About: I am more excited to hang out with your pets than you are for your vacation. Grew up with dogs and cats, and I am currently the go-to sitter among my family and friends! I am freelance editor and part-time substitute teacher with 100% control of my schedule. On subbing days, I’m at school from 8:00-2:30; for my freelance projects, I can work anywhere (including your home, with your pets!) The comfort of your pets is my number one priority, and I am happy to accommodate experiences to disrupt their schedules and environment as little as possible, especially for high-stressed friends.

About: Animals have an incredible ability to ease the tension they sense in the ones they love, so in turn I would like to provide a sense of safety and love with each encounter with your pet. Your chosen family is often stronger than the one you are born into, and these animals that we have taken into our homes and hearts show it clearly and consistently. I have worked in an animal hospital for about 2 1/2 years and in my time I learned many tools to create a safe and welcoming environment. I can trim nails, clean ears, brush out matts comfortably and give sanitary haircuts. I was trained to give thorough baths to make pets squeaky clean! I can also administer medication and have taken care of pets who are getting up there in years. I have experience watching 20-30 dogs in a group setting and can walk up to 7 dogs comfortably at a time. I have basic dog training knowledge and I am familiar with animal behavior and how to deescalate potential dangerous situations and soothe an anxious animal. I will soon be going back to school and have a part-time job so my schedule is flexible. I am looking to add walking pet sitting and bathing back into my routine. Written instructions on specifics on how to care for your pets are helpful in making sure your standards of care are being met. Trust is a need not a want when it come to animals, some need easing into meeting a new person and some are all in on the initial meeting, whatever the case forcing a connection is the best way to destroy it. Taking time to bond is something essential to animal caregiving.

About: I’ve always had dogs in my life, I went to school to understand the behavior and requirements it takes to assuring the dog is happy and needs are met. I have worked with many different types of dog breeds, big or small and as well as different stages of life, I adore dogs and their well-being to flourish. I am currently only doing Rover full time. I want to be as helpful as possible for whenever you’ll need a helping hand for you little ones! When it comes to my pets in my home, I make sure that they are on a routine and schedule with feeding, walks, and attention. I make sure their bowls are ready for the day when I am not home. When it comes to anybody I am helping out, I always stay punctual with what they have given me so I don’t mess up their pets schedule and needs.

About: From dogs, cats, frogs, and everything in between, I’m an avid pet lover! My current rescue is a German shepherd mix named, Butters. I spent my day’s walking and playing with her. We also love visiting her fur friends! I am currently working part time so my availability is open Mondays-Friday 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. for day visits. Weekends I’m free all day! I have a large, fenced yard with a loving fur baby, Butters. She is a social pup and would love some company! Dogs can be in and out of the home as they please. But bedtime is always inside! I also have room for a crate if needed.

“Cristina was the best!!! My pup Luna loved her and right was even excited to see her on her second walk. Cristina is super trustworthy and reliable. She took great care of my puppy and was very attentive to all my little requests and care for Luna. She provide me with updates, feedback and lots of picture of how everything went during the weekend. Whenever we do getaway weekends, Cristina will always be the first person I’ll contact to take care of Luna. Thank you Cristina for your amazing service, I was extremely happy with service!”


About: Animals have always been a part of my life (19 years and counting!). I’ve had the joy of raising dogs, chickens, birds, rats, mice, a snake, rabbits, and cats. I have worked with multiple rescues, and being around animals is truly a joy to me. I’m skilled in handling special needs animals. I deeply care for all creatures and value making sure they feel safe, loved, and happy. I understand that every critter has its own personality and needs, so no matter the pet, I’m here to give them the care and attention they deserve! I’m currently working part-time and as a freelance artist, which means plenty of time at home with your animal companions! I do take in fosters, so there will be times that I’m all full. Whenever you need me, we can figure something out! I have a fenced large backyard, five friendly dogs who love new friends and are used to boarding dogs and fosters. Our dogs are crate trained, and we have extras if yours need it. They spend quality time inside with us, and are taken well care of.

About: I am a Registered veterinary technician with 15 plus years of experience working with animals.I Have several years of experience in Emergency and Specialty medicine. In the past I have worked in the neurology department for over 5 years and so I have experience in caring for IVDD dogs and cats, and pets with seizures. My experience makes it easy for me to recognize when a pet is experiencing an emergency. I love taking care of all pets and specialize in the care of pets with special needs. I am currently working from home so I have some extra time during the week and weekends for walks, in house visits and pet sitting. I treat every pet as if it was my own and I am very careful when at the clients home. I will care for and nurture your pet, after all I do this for a living :)

Central City dog parents share their Rover experiences
Mark was nothing short of amazing. From communication to effort to just his love for our dog Bubbles. Bubbles is a large dog and can be a handful and Mark was patient, caring and we had complete trust in him and his abilities. We 100% recommend and will use his services again in the future.

Carissa is such a professional. She’s patient with our two dogs that are typically shy when meeting people. Very very communicative with regards to how the dogs are doing, sends lots of pics, follows all our unique instructions, and is punctual. So glad she chose to walk our dogs, and will absolutely use her again.

I cannot recommend Katherine enough. She has been walking my two dogs for the past three months consistently 3 days a week while I work in office. My dogs can be a handful, with their bad leash habits and bad manners… Katherine has never had any issues or complained. She’s been so patient, responsible, and caring towards them, handling their craziness with love like I would. She’s also incredibly thoughtful. One particular day, I canceled due to being home from work sick and wanted to give her her lunch break back - she offered to still come, knowing I needed the rest. That meant so much and just shows the type of person she is. Katherine is dependable, communicative, and clearly loves animals. Now that I dont need a walker with work schedule changes, I want to make sure others know she’s fantastic!!! Me and my boys are so thankful for the last three months with her 🐶🐶

Anna is the best! My dog is very shy and scared of people, some can’t even get her harness on for walks. Pockets warmed up so quickly to Anna, I got lots of pictures for each walk she did, and my house was just the way I left it. Couldn’t ask for a better person to have found

Giselle walked our 9 year old goldendoodle while we were on vacation. She spent more than the agreed-on time with her and adapted activities to the weather and Rosie’s moods. Giselle is kind, thoughtful and responsible - a wonderful resource for the Rover community!
