About: I currently have 2 dogs of my own that I’ve had since puppies, so I understand both the fun and responsibility that come with caring for pets. I’m especially comfortable with medium and large dogs, young and energetic dogs, and dogs who need a little patience while they get comfortable with a new person. I have experience with everything from puppy energy and leash manners to post-surgery care. I know that every dog has their own quirks, preferences, and rules, and I’m happy to follow your instructions closely rather than assuming what works for my dogs will work for yours. I’m also a physician assistant; being dependable, detail-oriented, observant, and calm in unexpected situations comes naturally to me. While my medical background is human rather than veterinary, I’m comfortable following detailed medication or care instructions and paying attention to changes in behavior or condition that may need to be brought to an owner’s attention. Most importantly, I treat pets as members of the household rather than a chore to check off a list. I want your dog to get the exercise, attention, affection, and consistency they’re used to while you’re away. I currently have a very flexible schedule which gives me plenty of availability for dog walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week. I’m able to accommodate daytime, evening, and weekend care, and I can often be flexible with timing depending on your pet’s usual routine. I’m currently taking a couple online courses finishing my doctorate, so most of my schedule can be arranged around pet-care commitments. I’m happy to care for pets in their own home, where I can follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feedings, walks, medications, crating, and any household-specific instructions. I know many pets are most comfortable in their own environment, so I’m careful to respect both their routine and your home. For pets staying with me, I have a fenced yard on an acre of land at a dead end quiet street. I have 2 friendly, higher-energy dogs of my own; I would always want to make sure personalities and play styles are a good fit before having dogs spend extended time together, and I’m comfortable using crates or separate spaces when needed. I pay close attention to secure doors and gates, leash safety, feeding instructions, interactions between pets, and any behavioral or medical concerns you let me know about. My goal is to keep things calm, safe, and as consistent with your pet’s normal routine as possible.

About: I grew up working on a farm! Not only am I familiar with training puppies and caring for cats, I also know my way around a barn. I have time in the early mornings and evenings to visit your pets! I am also able to house sit and provide daily exercise to any extent you need! I love to go on walks and adventuring in parks. But I also love just sitting on the couch with a dog or cat :) I am flexible and ready to meet whatever your pet needs!

“Lizz saved the day for us! We had a family emergency come up and had to leave town last minute. Lizz was able to cover all the walks in our absence. She gave us great feedback and won over our shy pup. Highly recommend.”

About: I have taken care of my own pets and barn animals for 10+ years. My family and friends have relied me to feed, care for, walk, and play with their animals. I love dogs and cats, and have always been used to having them around. I am a full-time graduate student with a part-time job. That being said, I have time throughout the day, every morning, and every evening to stop by and play with your animals! I also have weekend availability. Since I currently do not own my own home and rent from a local in Burlington, I do not have in-home space to host and/or board dogs or cats.

About: I really enjoy meeting all kinds of cats and dog and appreciate their quirky personalities. It's especially great when I get the change to develop relationships with them from repeat connections. I'm current unemployed and will likely be working online part-time, seeking work, or doing online research projects. So, my time and place are very flexible. One of my dogs is difficult/unpredictable with other dogs, so I'm likely to do care away. (My dogs are probably a little TOO interested in cats.)

“Katherine was amazing!!! She took such good care of my dog and I could tell by the photos she took that he had so much fun on their walks. Highly recommend and can’t wait to book with her in the future, so glad I found her!! :) great communication and so friendly!!”

About: I have over 5 years of experience with both pet care and child care. I have a Bachelors degree from Western Washington University, and I have worked at a local elementary school for the past 3 years. I’ve taken care of animals almost my entire life, I've even assisted in rescuing an owl! I’ve been trusted by several family members, friends, and other Rover families to watch over their babies, whether it’s staying with them overnight, taking them out and getting active, or just being there to have someone to cuddle with for an hour or two. I grew up living on a farm surrounded by cats and dogs and taking care of them was my favorite part of the day. You can trust that I will care for your pet as if they are my own. Pet care is my sole focus currently- so I will have plenty of time to care for your pet! I am available both weekends and weekdays, I'm a morning person as well, so I don't mind an early morning with a pet. It is imperative that your animals feel safe and comfortable around me, so I will meet them where they're at. I don't force connections, and I will always make sure that they know I am a safe human to be around. Routines and schedules are important, as well as being able to read an animals cues and understand what they need in that moment. I can provide that for your pet.

“Skylar was great! She was wonderful with my two dogs on the meet and greet, and was extremely punctual for their actual walk. I’m so happy to find such a responsible person to be able to call in the future!”

“Keegan was great with our dog! We have a one year old golden retriever who can be high energy and gets very excited with new people. Keegan did great on walks with him - you can tell she loves animals. We’d happily have her walk/watch him again!”

About: I've been taking care of animals my whole life! I have a big heart for dogs, especially. I have two dogs, Scooter & Rocco, & have very little time in my life without one. I am more than happy to bring your dog to my place to hang out with my boys. I can do walks & doggy play dates! I'd also be willing to stay at your place for longer periods & during the week if I could bring my two boys with me! I have trained Scooter to be an ESA with additional tasks & a therapy dog. I work full time & have a very flexible schedule. I can pop in during the work day & work from home when needed! I have free time on weekends & some evenings, so if you work odd hours, I'm more than happy to stop by & feed, get out for a walk, & such! I always follow house rules. I generally ensure that gates are shut, collars are on, leashes are secure. I will treat your babies like my own & I do not play about my boys.

“Will be booking again! 💯 Kind, on time, professional and Basil loved them!”

“Candace is a miracle worker dog walker. Our Scout is a special needs dog, very cautious, apprehensive of anything and anyone new. Candace was able to win her trust and gave us the freedom of knowing we could go away for an entire day unconcerned about her well being. Highly recommend Candace except on days when we need her!”

About: Hi, I’m Meagan! I’m doing Traveling Occupational Therapy & I have more free time than I’d like to admit right now. Your pets would have my full attention- I would love the chance to love on your pet while you’re away! There’s nothing like peace of mind when it comes to our pets! Whether its walks in the neighborhood , sending you pictures of their daily adventures or just popping in for a belly rub! -You can count on me to have your pets well taken care of and safe! Pets are like family and should be be treated that way. Just let me know what you need! I’m available for over night stays with your babes if needed. While I can’t take the place of YOU, I can sure give them the comfort they need until you return. It does vary, but flexible overall! I’m attentive, engaged and probably overly cautious when it comes to your pets. At this time, I’m happy to stick with pet care in your home.

“Took good care of my pup during my medical appointment! He doesn’t talk but I’m assuming he had fun ;)”
