“Ellen was absolutely wonderful with Claire. She handled Claire’s energy, quirks, and routines with total confidence and kindness. I got consistent updates, great photos, and could tell Claire felt comfortable and cared for the entire time. Highly recommend her for anyone who wants their pup treated like family.”


About: I’ve had several dogs growing up. I’ve also worked in an environment that’s dealt with injured, fractious, even scared dogs. It was part of my job to monitor any changes in behavior/health and keep their areas clean. I fostered a handful of puppies as well, 2 that were 6 weeks and only 2 lbs (now happily in their forever homes) I recently moved and i am in between jobs so my schedule is open and i am missing more of that animal connection I once had. While I’m not currently in the position to care for your animals in my own home, I am prepared to do whatever you deem necessary in yours. I know routines are important for animals. I will treat your home and fur babies with the respect as if they were my own.
About: From a young age I have cared for dogs, cats, and exotic animals. This includes, but is not limited to: Lizards, Small birds, and Large parrots. I have a deep passion for animal care and if given the opportunity I will deliver excellent care to your pet! I have cared for young pups and senior pups! In addition to caring for my pets at home, I have 25 hours of service at my hometown dog shelter. My duties included cleaning kennels, refilling water and food, and administering oral medications. My exotic pet care is on par with my dog and cat care, please reach out if you’re interested in exotics pet care, as rover does not have an option for that. Currently I am a college freshman. I am available on weekends anytime. I am also available Thursdays anytime. Tuesdays I am available 9:00 am - 11:00 am, 4:00 pm - 8:00 pm. Fridays I am available after 10:00 am. I have a one year old lab right now, when I am back home with her I take her on walks 2 times a day, plus backyard play time 2 times a day. She is on medications making me capable of administering medications. I also have a 8 year old cockatoo, I also take her on leashed walks, give her outside time, engage in enrichment sessions, and also have administered medications to her before.

About: Your animal will receive plenty of affection, treats, and playtime. I have spent about five years babysitting and caring for animals. Because my neighbors foster cats frequently, I have handled many kittens and bottle feeding, and I have provided proper care for any animals found on the streets, ensuring they receive the necessary treatments and medications. I enjoy giving animals the attention they deserve, playing with them, and learning their needs; I believe an open mind is essential for understanding what they truly want. I recognize that every animal is different, so I apply my best effort to accommodate any animal’s needs. I can assure you that your furry companion will enjoy time with me. Your furry friend will have a blast with me. I’m currently a swim instructor at aquatics for you. I teach babies the basic survival skills of how to swim and float. I’m also attending HCC right now to pursue a degree in diagnostic sonographer. I just graduated from Riverview high school where I played volleyball for six years club and school season. I love going outdoors playing soccer and volleyball. I also enjoy listening to music and dancing. I believe life is way too short, so you have to soak in every moment that you can. I’ll make sure that every animal dog or cat is completely put in a safe and welcoming environment. I think every animal just wants affection and love and they definitely will receive that with me. Any expectations or rules that are given to me will be followed to the T. there are no excuses for any sort of disrespectful or bad behavior on my end. I’ll make sure to provide any service that you would like.
About: I have had so many opportunities to take care of fur babies throughout my life! I lived in a farm for most of it but as an adult I have had my dog all through college up until now. I intentionally keep my schedule flexible so I can give each pet the attention they need. I enjoy spending time outdoors and love making sure every fur baby gets plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection. I understand that every pet has their own routine, and I do my best to keep that routine consistent while you're away. During visits, I'll provide fresh food and water, take your pet on walks or let them out for potty breaks, play with them, give them plenty of love and attention, and clean up after them as needed. I'll also make sure your home is respected and secure by following any instructions you leave. My goal is to help your fur baby feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in the place they know best.

About: Hello all! I currently work from home and have all the time to pay close attention to the care of your beloved family member. I grew up in a show dog home and to this day I still help my family at dog shows around the state. I used to be a veterinary technician so I can care for pets who are on a strict routine. I play very close attention to routines, and give a bunch of pets and love. From puppies to seniors or docile to rambunctious. I can handle them all. Your beloved family member will be in good hands with me. I also know how to do a bit of grooming. Say if you needed bathing, brushing, nail trimming, ear cleaning or all of the above. I would love to care for your lovely family member. Thank you so very much for your consideration. I work full time remote from the comfort of my own home. I am very thankful to be able to have as much time as I can with my own personal pets and those of others. Animals are my passion. I studied animal science/zoology in the university of Florida and was a veterinary technician for 5 years. I strive to give every animal the amount of love I give my own.

About: Throughout my life, I’ve loved spending time with animals, getting to know their unique personalities, and helping care for their needs. I’ve volunteered at the Pet Resource Center in both the cat and dog play areas, and caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I’ve cared for cats for the past eight years, typically having four to five cats in my care at any given time. I’ve also helped friends and neighbors with their dogs, including boarding them in my home and providing daily visits while their owners are on vacation. I understand how important it is to know your furry family members are safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I look forward to getting to know your pets, giving them plenty of love and attention, and making sure they feel happy, comfortable, and special! I currently work from home and can be available in the mornings before 8am. I am also available after work 4:30pm and during lunch time I would keep your pet’s schedule as close as possible to their owners daily routine. Also, I would treat your home with respect and care if I am watching pets in your home and will leave the way I found it.
About: Ever since I was a baby I have always grown up around animals. About four years ago I started watching my grandparents Rottweiler and stayed several nights and days taking him on walks, feeding him, and interacting with him by playing. About five years ago I got into fostering dogs ranging from puppies to adult, and sometimes having several at the same time. I have experience with puppies due to fostering and owning my own, and I have experience with adult dogs from fostering and owning my own. Besides having experience with just dogs I have experienced and taken care of dogs who have had previous surgeries, dogs who have cancer, and dogs who have to take several medications several times a day. I am currently working a full time job M-F from 9-6 and im off on the weekends. I would be able to help in the mornings and around lunch time everyday, and be able to help after work. Although I can not care for animals in my home due to complex regulations when I had dogs I had a fenced in yard and would go outside and interact with them. When I was at other clients homes if they didnt have a fenced in yard I would walk their dog or put them on a leash in their yard.
About: Animals are better than us humans. I've found them to be more genuine and trustworthy. Never have I met an animal that I didn't love. I'm a worker always traveling in my car constantly which makes great opportunities for me to provide caring for the most loved part of a petowners world I will love & care for your pets as I my own. Love & attention galore! My variety of services allows me to accommodate all pets.

About: I live in a home on a couple of acres of land. Your dog will have access to the entire home including a back porch and deck. We have a beautiful dog park about a mile from our home that will allow your dog the ability to play and run off leash. We also have another beautiful park a mile away that we can walk on leash. As well we can walk on leash at my home as well. I am reliable and have a flexible schedule. I have owned and taken care of pets most of my life. Growing up we had cats, dogs, rabbits, hamsters, and the list goes on. Now as an adult I have a Chiweenie named Charlie, Bearded Dragon named Lizardbeth , Chickens, Ducks, and fish ponds. I am a stay at home mom. My youngest child is 14. I am home with the exception of an hour to pick up my son from school. I have a 22 yer old son Kobe he is a high functioning adult with autism and he is wonderful with pets and is my BIG helper. Pets that are boarding here with us will be treated as part of our family. They are allowed access to the entire home. We allow our pets on the furniture and in bed with us. Charlie does sleep in a crate at night (he likes his space) but loves to sleep on the sofa or bed during the day. Outdoor fun is a must. We like to go on walks, and play quite a bit. We have a nice big yard that allows this. We also have a big deck in the back yard which provides a nice space to chill and relax and Charlie's favorite thing is to stretch and lay in the sun. I can be reached anytime for check ins on your pets and will keep you up to date on their well being.
About: Ive been working with animals for over 8 years. I worked at an animal shelter in WV for three years as a kennel tech, and then at the Farlie animal hospital in WV for two as an animal technician. And currently I am working at an animal shelter in miami. I know how much our animals mean to our family but I would love the chance to care for your animal. I work 10 hours shifts 4x a week at a doggy daycare. But I have no problem stopping by before or after work, and stopping by on my lunch break to give them love and to go potty! I am currently not accepting boarding in my home due to temporary taking care of a friend’s dog. Who is a bit shy and nervous of new animals.
About: Hi there! I’m new to the Rover App but not new to caring for fur babies. The past 4 years I’ve had experience dog sitting for my older sister, who has a four year old Lab mix named Harper. I’ve watched Harper for weekends at a time feeding, walking, playing with her when my sister is out of town. I’ve also had the privilege of dog sitting for neighbors, dropping in their home while they are away and letting their fur babies out and feeding them. I currently live with a roommate who has a cat that I care for when need be as well. I love animals, and though I don’t have any of my own. I’ll take care of yours as if it was. Right now I’m only available for dog walking and drop-ins in your home. Not accepting over night sitting in my home at the moment. Book with me and have peace of mind your fur baby is cared for and loved while you’re away. I work full time throughout the week from Sundays-Thursdays. I usually work from 1pm-9pm or 3pm-11pm Though out the week. I’m free both Fridays and Saturdays anytime! I make sure the pets are getting the proper respect and care they need. I’m also well organized so I won’t miss any deadlines if the pet needs to take their medications or even a vet appointment if need be. I’ll make sure they get their food/water and that they use the bathroom on time as well. I also like to play with the pets to keep them engaged and have them not feeling too bored as well.

About: I have over a year of hands on experience working at a doggy daycare, along with 5 years experience dog walking and pet sitting for clients. Working with animals every day taught me how to handle different temperaments and energy levels while making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, and pets who need extra patience or specialized care. I’m comfortable and familiar with administering medications, following special feeding instructions, and keeping up with specific routines and care needs. Whether your pet enjoys lots of playtime and walks or prefers a calmer environment and quiet attention, I always try to make sure they feel relaxed and happy while you’re away. I make it a priority to provide dependable care, updates (photos and videos included), and plenty of attention so owners can feel confident their babies are in good hands. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I already have consistent experience working around dogs and structured care environments. I’m generally flexible throughout the week, including weekdays and weekends, and I’m comfortable adjusting my schedule based on a pet’s needs. I’m used to early mornings, midday check-ins, and evening care routines from my time working at a doggy daycare, so I’m able to stay consistent with feeding, walks, and medication schedules. I prioritize reliability, so once I commit to a booking, I make sure I’m fully available and on time for every visit. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize following all instructions exactly as given to maintain the pet’s normal routine and comfort. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are always secure before walks and that pets are supervised at all times. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior so I can respond quickly if anything seems off or if they need extra reassurance. I also keep the environment calm, clean, and stress free, and I respect the client’s home by leaving everything as I found it. Communication is important to me, so I provide updates and make sure owners feel confident their pet is safe and well cared for.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Dover. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
