About: I have taken care of dogs for over 10 years. I often dog sit for my parents and friends. I am very adaptable to the needs of any animal! I currently work full time day shift and always have weekends off. On the weekends, we like to take walks to the park to play or just stay home and cuddle up on the couch and watch movies. I have a fenced in backyard. I work 10 minutes from home so I am free to stop in and let dogs out throughout the day.
“Lindsey was the best dog-walker we could ask for... We have a spirited labrador retriever, and she handled him beautifully, safely and timely. I always received pictures, video and a status report with every walk. I would recommend Lindsey to anyone seeking a reliable dog walker.”
About: We had a poodle and then a cat in the house when I was a kid. Since then I've lived with several different cats and have been helping to look after friends' pets of various species when they're out of town or unavailable. I completed a course by the Professional Pet Care Association to become a Certified Pet Sitter and Dog Walker. I typically start my primary job at 3pm so late mornings and early afternoons are great for drop-ins or walks. Thursdays and Fridays are my normal days off so I'm available to spend more time with your pets then. The Practical Stuff: Happy to come over and provide food, water, exercise, and scoop litter boxes for your pets. The Other Important Stuff: I want your pet to feel safe and cared for while you're not there. I love petting, cuddling, playing, talking and generally hanging out with any dog or cat that wants the attention. If you have other pets like fish, reptiles, arthropods, etc. I can likely help out with them too. Let's talk about it. I'm fond of house plants and have dozens of my own so I'm happy to keep them watered for you.
About: HELLO! I have been taking care of all kinds of dogs from pups to senior pets who have special needs. I have done stuff like this ever since I was in middle school. I am very flexible with my time. I do have a cat allergy but that won’t stop me from that either! I’m always here to help you’re best friend 😊 Im very flexible with my schedule for a couple months! I can do early mornings to late nights. I’m always able to help with anything! I’m very detail oriented and need straightforward instructions in order to properly care for a pet. The more straightforward the instructions the better! I treat any pet as if they were my own. Maybe a chance to spoil with my special frozen pet friendly watermelon slush for the hot summer days? Or a little trip to get a pup cup? My dogs are spoiled and I miss them so much so this would be a win-win for the both of us 🤣
About: Lifelong Care You Can Trust I may not have a corporate resume in pet care, but I have a lifetime of hands-on experience loving and caring for animals. Growing up, my family raised an Old English Bulldog and a Boston Terrier. Today, my home is shared with two short-hair cats and my two children. My entire daily life is centered around routine, safety, and animal happiness. have a highly flexible schedule that revolves perfectly around your cat's/dog’sneeds. As a full-time online business student and dad, my days are structured but completely open for pet care.Once I finish the morning school and work drop-off at 7:30 AM, my day is yours. I am fully available for drop-ins, feedings, and playtime all morning and afternoon. I just step away briefly for family pickups at 2:15 PM and 3:45 PM, but otherwise, I am studying from home and ready to provide your cat/dog with constant companionship, monitoring, and love. Your home is your cat’s castle, and I treat it with total respect and military-grade reliability. Because my own cat, Nova, suffers from severe anxiety, I am a master at reading feline body language and handling sensitive cats. I know exactly how to walk into a house gently, build trust on their terms, and sneak medication seamlessly into wet food without making it a stressful event. If your cat is more like my other cat, Stella—vocal and demanding—I speak fluent "meow" and know exactly when they are asking for attention, food, or space. When I visit your home for feedings, walks, or check-ins, you can expect:Flawless Routines: Exact adherence to your feeding schedules, water fountain/bowl top-offs, and meticulous litter box scooping (yes, I even know how to maintain and troubleshoot specialized tech like Litter-Robots).High-Level Security: I double-check that doors are locked, windows are secure, and no toxic house hazards are left within reach before I leave.TLC & Play: High-energy toy sessions for the active kitties, or calm, quiet companionship for the introverts.
“Matthew did an excellent job with my 12-year-old dachshund named Isaac. He was quick to respond, right on time, very friendly, and is clearly experienced with dogs. Isaac can sometimes feel stressed when separating from me in a new environment, but Matthew immediately knew how to help keep him calm and comfortable. He sent photos during the walk, recommended some great parks and dog-friendly walking areas around Rochester, and chose an excellent place for us to meet. You can tell he genuinely enjoys spending time with animals and pays attention to their individual needs and personalities. Overall this was a fantastic experience and I would absolutely trust Matthew with Isaac again in the future. I highly recommend Matthew for taking good care of people's pets.”
“Lluvia has been wonderful, responds promptly to any inquiries, very knowledgeable and goes over and beyond. Highly recommend walker. I can't thank her enough for all she has done.”
“Emily is great with pets and went above and beyond to give my pup a good day and plenty of exercise. Great communication and photographs, prompt replies to everything. She did not need instructions for courtesies like wiping off paws when coming inside on a wet day, she just did it as the standard. I highly recommend Emily for dog walking, in house visits, or other services.”
About: I have 3 dogs of my own that I take care of as well as a 14 year old cat that has a lot of special needs and accommodations. I also watch my neighbors pets when they go on vacations. I'm a full time college student during the school year, during the summer I have a very flexible schedule and can watch your pets any day given at least a days notice. I always walk outside when the dogs are outside, even if they are on a leash or in a gated area. I also take them on frequent walks.
About: We have compassion for senior animals as we have cared for our own beloved pets. We enjoy dogs and cats alike. We love going on walks with our dog and playing fetch. One of us works full-time from home and the other works 50% of the time at home. Our weekends are usually free with events close to home. Our dog travels with us often. Daily walks, play-time, many cuddles on the couch. Scheduled feeding, daily grooming I.e. brushing. Any other needs your pet may have while in our care.
About: I’ve had experience caring for a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, chickens, and horses. I’m comfortable handling animals of different sizes, ages, and temperaments, and I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and well-being. My experience includes feeding, providing fresh water, walking dogs, cleaning up after pets, administering basic care, and giving animals plenty of attention and affection. I am reliable, patient, and attentive to each animal’s individual needs. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. My flexible job allows me gaps of time where I can tend to daily duties. I’m a college-aged student who is available to assist with your pets’ needs. My pets and those I take care of are treats really and with as much love and care as I can share. To keep things interesting, I will take my dog Rocko to new and fun locations for walks. I enjoy treating him with grooming and many treats. Rocko is like my little baby, and I am so excited to grow the number of relationships with furry companions!!
About: Hey there! My name is Julie and I would love to hang out with your pets! I received my vet tech degree in 2018, and have been working with animals for over 10 years. I just graduated with my BS in Fisheries and Wildlife, but am looking to still work with companion animals in some capacity. I would love to do drop-in visits, take your dog for a walk, or stay with your pup (or kitty) while you’re on vacation! As a former vet tech (and a dog mom of 3 seniors) I’m super comfortable with specials needs pets, senior pets, and giving various medications. Feel free to reach out and we can discuss anything specific! Currently in-between fish and wildlife internships (with the next one starting in February), so I have unlimited availability. My calendar/availability is up to date, so check it out! I treat all pets like they’re my own, so making sure they’re taken care of properly is paramount to me. I make sure all needs are met and that everyone is left happy.
About: I’ve always enjoyed being around animals and understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pet. I’m active, dependable, patient, and comfortable following whatever routine your dog is used to. Whether that means long walks, playing outside, feeding, keeping up with a routine, or just giving them some company, I’m happy to help. I work in college athletics, so being responsible, organized, on time, and communicating well are a big part of my everyday life. I’ll treat your dog like I would want someone to treat my own and make sure you’re kept updated while they’re with me. My schedule is flexible, especially during mornings and early afternoons, which gives me plenty of time for walks, drop-ins, and taking care of pets throughout the day. I also have days with significantly more availability and can accommodate overnight and weekend care depending on my schedule. I keep my Rover calendar updated so I only accept bookings when I know I can give your pet the time and attention they need. I take being trusted with someone else’s pet and home seriously. I’ll follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walking routines, medications or other care instructions you provide. I’m also big on communication and will send updates and photos so you know how your pet is doing. For pets staying with me, I’ll make sure they have a clean, comfortable environment, regular bathroom breaks, exercise, attention, and plenty of time to settle in and feel comfortable.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
