âMasha is the best dog walker. Would recommend her service to anyone and any pet. She went above and beyond beyond for us. Very thankful to have had her take care of our pup.â

About: Hello! Iâm a first year veterinary student with 3 years experience as a veterinary assistant at a small animal general practice. Iâm skilled in safe animal handling, physical restraint, preventative care, and administering medications. Iâm Fear Free Certified and always prioritize low-stress, compassionate care. Moreover, Iâm comfortable with sitting for senior pets with medical needs. I have personal experience managing chronic illness in my own dog for 2+ years, including giving at-home subcutaneous fluids and consistent oral medications. I have experience with bathing and would be more than happy to offer baths or nail trims upon request for an additional charge. Your petâs safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priority. As a student, I attend classes during the weekday, but my schedule allows me to run home during lunch breaks and between classes for potty breaks, feedings, and check-ins. My evenings are completely free, so your pet will have plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship during the evening hours and will not be left alone. My home is a townhome with no pets and no children, providing a calm and controlled environment. There is plenty of space for pets to move around comfortably, and I can easily accommodate crates or set up separate areas if needed. Iâm also happy to follow your petâs established routines and household rules, including furniture access and sleeping arrangements, to help them feel at home.
About: Iâve grown up with dogs my entire life, so caring for pets has always been second nature to me. From playful puppies to older dogs who need a gentler touch, Iâm comfortable with all personalities and energy levels. For the past two years, Iâve also house sat for my neighborsâ cats, making sure theyâre well-fed, loved, and given plenty of attention while their owners are away. Whether itâs long walks, playtime, or just keeping pets company, I make sure they feel safe, cared for, and at home. Iâm home for the holidays, so Iâm free to dedicate my days to taking care of your furry family members! I love walking (even if itâs cold out) and playing with pets. I am very attentive and hands-on with pets. I am able to detect when animals are uncomfortable. I also have experience administering medicine for pets!
âJennifer did a great job communicating, walking my dog, and keeping me posted on his progress. I would definitely book another walk with her again and recommend her to others. Thanks Jennifer!â

âAs first time users of the Rover site, we were lucky to connect with Amber. Sheâs experienced, professional, & friendly. She quickly got to know our Finley, taking him on awesome walks for 10 days.â

About: Iâve taken care of cats and dogs since I was 10, my own included. I have been pet sitting for neighbors ever since I was 10. I work full time 830-430 so I am mostly available in the late afternoon/at night. My hours in those times are flexible. I am usually completely free during the weekend. I live in a pet friendly apartment with outdoor yard space. I have a roommate who loves all animals. I am very active and love to take dogs on the walks/runs and/or to nearby parks.
âMy dog can be a bit choosey with his friends and Brittany was able to gain his trust and walk Jack without any problems. She is very professional and caring with Jack I would recommend her. Thank you Brittany!â

About: I dog sat for many people in my town during all years of high school and first two years of college! I moved farther away from home and would love to meet new furry friends! My weekends are completely open and my Tuesdays and Thursdays only have one two hour lab working with animals! Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays I have more classes but I have breaks in between where I could check in on pets! I always understand that each situation and animal is different so I always ask that the owner tell me exactly how they care for the animal and want me to care for them. For instance, Iâve had clients with elderly dogs on multiple medications needing a chill and very safe environment from other animals, and Iâve had other clients where their animal roams throughout the house all day and their cat comes in and out! Both are completely fine I just like to know what the animals are used to!
About: Iâve had pets all my life and have hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages and personalities, including puppies, senior pets, and anxious animals.

Flexible scheduling and last-minute requests are welcome! Your petâs safety and comfort are my top priorities.

I maintain a clean, calm, and secure environment, and Iâm attentive to your petâs behavior and needs at all times. You can trust that Iâll provide loving, responsible care while keeping your furry friend happy and safe.
About: I have 4 dogs that Iâve owned for 5 years now. I adopted two of them as puppies, so I potty trained them and taught them how to sit, lay down, walk off-leash, etc. I adopted my other two as adults, but I did train them how to walk off-leash as well. I care for them every single day, which includes feeding them on the same schedule every day, walking them, playing with them, bathing them when needed, taking them to the vet when needed, cleaning up after them to ensure a healthy and clean environment for them. Iâm currently a college student who is out of school for the summer, so I am available 7 days a week at all hours of the day! In my clientâs home, I will complete any task they ask of me in the way they ask to do it, as I completely understand that certain dogs need certain routines and strategies. I respect my clientâs homes and the way they operate their home lives, and will do all I can to ensure their pets are happy and healthy.

Ceanna was great with my Shih Tzu, Riley. Sheâs always punctual and in spite of the colder weather, sheâs always smiling. I also appreciate her availability on short notice since I had surgery and an extended restriction prevented me from walking Riley. We hope to reach out again in the future - Thanks again Ceanna!!â
