About: I'm a theatre teacher and dog lover and with school out for the summer, I have some extra time and energy to spend it keeping your furry family member happy, safe, and loved while you're away! As an educator, I bring patience, attentiveness, and a strong sense of responsibility to pet care. Whether it’s energetic walks, relaxing cuddle time, or sticking to special routines, I tailor each visit to your pet’s unique personality and needs. You can count on me for: 🎭 Daily walks, playtime, and enrichment 🐾 Drop-ins, house sitting, or overnight care 🦴 Feeding, meds, and updates with adorable photos 🏠 Respectful, tidy care of your home during visits I co-parent a sweet rescue Pitanese named Atlas, but he will not be present in my home when your dog(s) come to stay. I will only care for one dog family in my home at a time (up to 2 dogs.) As a devoted dog parent, I know how important it is to trust someone with your family member(s), and I’d be honored to provide a reliable, loving presence while you’re away. Let’s connect—I can’t wait to meet your furry family! I will be off from my teaching job throughout much of the summer, so will have a very flexible schedule to spend with your pet(s)! I live in the bottom unit of a duplex home and have full access to a fully fenced in yard. My upstairs neighbor has a dog, but doesn't use the yard with his dog and exits through a separate entrance. I'm a gardener, so your dog will always be supervised while playing in the yard. We live near trails and a park, so there is plenty of opportunity for enrichment on walks as well. I allow my dog on the sofa, but if this is not a habit you want your dog to pick up, I will follow those instructions. I have past experience giving oral medication, caring for senior dogs, puppies, and dogs in recovery from an injury.

“Emily has good communication skills. She's been prompt and reliable in showing up for Dakota's walks. She's attentive to Dakota's senior energy level which I deeply appreciate.”


About: I've been around dogs and cats my whole life. We had 2 dogs and 2 cats when I was growing up. I've been walking dogs since I was little. And I know all the dogs in my neighborhood on a first name basis. I work from home and generally have plenty of time throughout the day for walks and cuddles. I do go into the office once a week, usually on Wednesdays. I have a big backyard that's mostly fenced in (each of my surrounding neighbors have fences). There's plenty of room throughout my entire house for your little baby to make themselves at home

About: i have always been around animals and I love them so much! i’ve had 5 different dogs throughout my lifetime, both during my childhood and up until just a few years ago, and i currently have a cat named zuri. that being said, i am a cat person as equally as i am a dog person, but having a dog of my own just isn’t realistic for my life right now! my schedule is fairly flexible and I am willing to work with yours :-) i work a hybrid remote/in-person job and have a bit of flexibility in my schedule. evenings and lunch hours are the best times for me, and i’m also around most weekends! i try to keep my calendar on the Rover app up to date, but feel free to message with questions. i do have a 10 y/o cat that will be around if you choose to board your dog — just something to consider prior to booking! meet and greets are always a good idea, but i’ll let you make that decision!


About: I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, and know how to accommodate each one's needs (special diet, long walks, companionship (or lack thereof)). I am also resistant to all forms of begging yet encountered, and will follow your recommendations for treats and the like. I work remote, so generally can adjust my schedule to fit you(r pet's) needs. I also generally take walks to have a break from the work day, so can easily add a dog or two to that walk! I will follow your lead on how to best care for your pet! I do not have any of my own animals currently due to my landlord, but have housesit for dogs and cats. I want your pet to feel as comfortable as possible, whether it's a crate, sleeping in the same bed, or eating meals together!

About: I love taking care of these little ones at my home, they are like family to me, they are loved and well taken care of. For as long as I can remember, I have always been surrounded by animals and I have loved them. My grandmother was a great influence in teaching me to love them, take care of them and interpret their body language. I started taking care of pets in elementary school; when our neighbors went on vacation, I took care of their cat and their fish. As a child, I have had many beloved pets, including cats, dogs, guinea pigs, rabbits, fish, parakeets, lizards, hamsters and a mouse. Currently, I have a cat that used to be wild called Ociris that appears with me in the profile photo Dog walks, Daily visits, Bathroom breaks, Overnight pet care, 24-hour care , Dog parks, excursions, Pet taxi, Kitten care, and Weekly pet care for travel.

“Felicia helped me give my pup two walk/break times when I had an exceptionally long 18 hour day. She was super communicative and made me feel good that my dog was well taken care of. When I got home, I found him very relaxed and that says to me he was comfortable with her and they had a good amount of exercise and fun together. Thanks Felicia!”


“Kendall has been amazing with my nervous and reactive dog! She is very experienced and took the extra time and care to make my dog comfortable for walks. Because of this, my dog has fully warmed up and gets excited to see Kendall each day to go for his walk. I fully trust Kendall to handle any reactivity my dog might have on walks and love the daily updates/pictures that she provides!”


About: I get such joy from animal care and am excited to meet you & your fur baby! I have experience befriending cats, dogs, horses, fish and even amphibians (frogs, geckos, salamanders, axolotls). I’m an avid birdwatcher so I also wouldn’t shy away from an opportunity to take care of a feathered friend. I do best with friendly dogs who are already trained (potty, leash, and behavior) and all types of cats (see Cat Care Details for more info). I’m currently in-between jobs this summer so I have time during the week (generally between 9am-9pm). My exercise plan includes dog walking to really get my steps in. When caring for your pet(s) I will treat them - and your home - like they’re my own. I’m dependable, responsible, trustworthy and responsive, and I want you to feel comfortable knowing that your fur baby is in good hands with me.
