Haley was great with our dog Indy. He’s a little reserved at first, but she was so patient and kind with Indy. I really appreciated her taking such good care of him while we were gone for a weekend. Thank you Haley!!

About: I’ve cared for pets of all ages, from playful puppies to sweet senior dogs. I’m patient and gentle, and I know how to tailor care to your pet’s unique needs. Whether it's giving meds, keeping up with energetic walks, or offering lots of cuddles, I’ve got it covered. I also have experience with crate training and basic commands, and I always treat pets like family. I’m reliable and communicative, and I truly love what I do! I’m a student at UD with online classes this summer, which gives me a super flexible schedule and plenty of free time. I’ll be available all summer for walks, drop-ins, playtime, or overnight stays. Since my classes are remote, I can easily plan my day around your pet’s routine and give them the attention and care they deserve. I have two friendly goldendoodles of my own (Henry and Milo), so I’m very used to providing loving, attentive care every day. I’ve also taken care of my neighbors’ dogs and cats, so I’m comfortable with different breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Whether I’m in my home or yours, I focus on creating a safe, clean, and calm environment where pets feel secure and happy. I treat every animal like part of the family and always follow the routine that works best for them.

About: I have over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals, supported by continued education in animal care. I’ve worked as a veterinary assistant in multiple clinics, where I gained experience with senior dogs and administering daily medications safely and calmly. I am also trained to administer CPR and the Heimlich maneuver for cats and dogs, allowing me to respond confidently in emergency situations. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I have a very open and flexible schedule right now. That allows me to give the pets in my care plenty of attention, companionship, and frequent potty breaks throughout the day — never rushed. I also live just down the street from a park, which is perfect for regular walks, fresh air, and fun playtime to keep dogs happy and active. Safety and trust are always my top priorities when caring for pets in my home or a client’s home. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs so I can keep their environment consistent, calm, and stress-free. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions carefully — from feeding schedules and walks to medications and preferred routines. I make sure doors, gates, and crates are always secure, and I keep a close eye on pets during outdoor time. In my home, I provide a clean, safe, and comfortable environment with plenty of supervision and attention. I never leave pets unattended for long periods, ensure they have constant access to fresh water, and monitor their behavior closely to make sure they feel safe and relaxed. With over 16 years of hands-on animal experience, including veterinary settings, I’m confident in recognizing signs of stress or illness quickly and responding appropriately. My goal is always to make pets feel loved, secure, and right at home — wherever they are.

About: I started in the pet industry in 1999. I managed for Jacks Aquarium & Pets for 10 years. I was the livestock manager at Feeders Supply Fairborn. I also train Horses professionally and have been a member of the local dog obedience club. In addition to extensive training experience, I have a lot of medical experience and have no problem taking care of special needs animals. Also happy to sit for livestock and exotics. I train Horses full-time so my schedule is extremely flexible because I can book on days that are free. Whatever your pet needs I can accommodate. I provide safe positive compassionate handling. Pets in my care are happier and better handled when they leave me than when they began. Let me help you and your pet connect.

About: I’ve loved and cared for animals since I was a child. My neighborhood has sidewalks walks to keep your pups safe on walks and I can administer oral medications if necessary. I currently homeschool my two children so we’re home most of the day and evenings so adding in a pet is no problem at all. I have a fully fenced back yard and two dogs to keep yours company. I also have an extra large crate if requested to make your dog feel more comfortable.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was in grad school. Mainly took care of medium to large dogs, from puppies to 10+ years old. I have a 2 year old GSP named Miles who keeps me occupied most of the time. I work 7:30-3:30 most days during the week (regular full time job). But my weekends are usually open. I do quite a few different activities to keep my little guy occupied (and I think your pup will like them too). Activities include fetch, running, hiking, some scent work, etc. I have a 7 foot tall vinyl fence that my little guys loves to play in. I mostly keep hard chew toys around and plenty of treats.

About: Hi my name is Anna and you can trust that your pet will be treated with the most genuine care as if they were one of my own. I’ve own dogs my whole life and I’ve cared and trained each one of them. I have been able to walk and care for 4 pups at once from small dogs up to 120 pounds so there’s nothing I can’t handle. I will pamper your baby, make sure they are fed, take their potty breaks, take medication if needed, play time and lots of belly rubs and kisses. You will be able to go on about your day worry free that your fur baby is in the greatest hands being spoiled and having the time of their life. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and care throughout the day. I’m available for drop ins, walks, and pet sitting during weekdays and weekends. I understand the importance of keeping pets on their normal routine and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I understand that pets feel most comfortable in their own environment, so I do my best to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible while you’re away. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medications if needed, and any special instructions. I’ll treat your home and pets with care and respect, and I’m always happy to provide photo and video updates for peace of mind.

About: Hello, I LOVE dogs. Literally spending time with any dog would probably be my favorite thing to do. I’m great with all different personalities types too, how to calm, respond, care for all different types of dogs. Cats are cool too! I definitely know how to care for cats, I’ve had so many growing up and helped my mom with hers for my whole life. I have one black pug right now. She is my best friend in the world, great with other dogs, kids, everyone. I live in an apartment so I can’t board any dogs at my house right now, but i definitely can go to other people’s homes or walk dogs! My husband lives with me too and can take care of my pug if I’m out on the job for some time! I’ve had dogs now / been on Rover for about 6 years I have lots of free time for drop in visits, dog walks, boarding at your home for dogs and cats, or other animals. Message me now! I live in an apartment so I’d have to come to your house! I know how to let out dogs/any animal accordingly, feed certain amounts at certain times, follow rules, give a lot of love :)

Gracie was the first Rover we ever hired. I felt so much more comfortable when I read that she is working as a vet tech and is obtaining education for that field as well. Part of me doesn’t want to leave a review because I want to be able to book with her as much as possible haha. But she is such a kind person who genuinely cares for animals and would be such a great addition to your pet’s team. 10/10 recommend!

Will absolutely book again if the need arrises!

Berke was great with our pets. We had a last minute rover change and he was so quick and willing to help watch over our boys. There were plenty of updates in both messages and photos, lots of fast communication, and he took care of my dog that needed medication. I would highly recommend him and will be happy to have him as a sitter again.

We rebooked Kelly to watch our dogs when we were out of town and she was fantastic as usual. One of our foster dogs can be a little nervous around new people and Kelly was great with her. We got back to dogs who were relaxed and totally normal. It was as if we’d just stepped out for a normal work day! Kelly kept their routines running smoothly. It’s like they barely noticed we were gone! We will definitely book with her again!
