“My dog LOVES Emily! She is also super reliable and communicative. She even lets us know if the weather is looking bad and proposes new walk times and other solutions, like a quick walk followed by some training to keep the dog entertained and not too hot. I would highly recommend her as a walker :)”

About: With my own 6-year old pug, Hank, I have ample dog experience. I am focused on the health and happiness of your pet because a happy pet is a happy life! Working remotely, I am able to spend time with pets mixed perfectly into my daily schedule. I can perfectly organize my schedule to balance your dog's needs! I balance my dogs needs by exposing him to many different activities both inside and outside the home. Within the home we utilize enrichment games and outside the home we explore parks and fun new places for him to run and sniff!
“Katherine was extraordinarily communicative, professional, and flexible even on short notice. I had so much peace of mind knowing that she was taking care of my pup while I was at work.”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have always been relied on to take care of dogs and cats of all sizes and age! I absolutely love animals and have 2 cats of my own and 3 back home, so I understand how important it is to trust someone to take care of your babies. I also live an active lifestyle and I’m always able to offer exercise and lots of playtime to your pets! I am experienced with administering oral medication as well. I am flexible for drop-in visits for all pets and dog walking Monday, Thursday, Friday and weekends, and on Tuesdays and Wednesdays I am available before 8 AM after 5 PM. At this time, I am, unfortunately, not able to board pets in my home as my two cats are pretty sensitive to other animals and especially dogs.

“Kelli has been great, super friendly and helpful. She was great with Soba, and patient with his high energy antics. I would definitely book with her again.”
About: I love animals! My family has always been a huge pet-loving family and I have always loved every type of pet. I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 8. Growing up, I was the neighborhood pet sitter and I continued to take care of my neighbors pets when they were out of town until I moved away to college. I have taken care of numerous pets such as dogs of different sizes, cats, to even geckos. I have been relied on to drive peoples dogs places, to take care of pets while they were out of town (walking, feeding, and etc). I am a proud pet mom to 3 guinea pigs and 1 puppy. I love animals and I would love to help you out! :) I live in a ground floor apartment with a back patio that leads into the courtyard! I basically have a back yard! I am currently working part-time on Thursdays and Fridays. The rest of the week I’m available and flexible for whatever you and your fur baby may need I offer dog walking, pet care (in client’s home), boarding and doggy day care. I am very flexible and willing to help on those basis with anything that you should need help with and with different kinds of pets of all shapes and sizes!
About: I have had pets of all kinds my entire life. From dogs big and small, to cats, hamsters, and bunnies. I am more than prepared to take care of your beloved pets while your gone. I'm new to the area and applying to jobs, so I have plenty of time to play, and nurture your animals until you get back. I am able to create a safe and trusting environment, by reading a dogs body language, and knowing when I need to back off or when they need space.
About: As a pet parent myself, I know how hard it can be to leave our babies behind. My goal is to help alleviate any worry by providing quality care to your animals - with lots of playtime, pets, and cute pictures :) While new to Rover, I have ample experience caring for dogs and cats! I have a very flexible schedule, so I am happy to coordinate a care schedule that works for you and your pet! Available for midday visits as well. For your first visit, I’m happy to have a quick initial “meet and greet” with your pet and walk through their care. I promise to provide consistent and clear communication throughout the process.
“Marko was very patient with Chessie and even very kindly offered to give him some extra attention / time outside one day which was going above and beyond. Your pup is in good hands with them!”
About: Remote worker with a flexible schedule, open to caring for all types of pets so happy to adapt to your pet’s unique needs and routine. I am fully remote so during the weeks I am available to stop by around lunch time and early evenings. It sometimes depends on what my week looks like that week but I am pretty flexible for the most part. I live in a gated building that has a patio if a dog needs to go for a quick walk. I also live around a dog park if the dog wants to mingle with other pets.
About: I grew up taking care of my dog and am familiar with the different components of taking care of dogs, whether it be walking, playing, feeding them, and more! I am currently working entirely remote and have open availability throughout the week, including throughout the work day! I’m happy to accommodate your scheduling needs :) As a person who grew up with pets, I have become familiar with the importance of establishing trust with a pet. I’m very reliable, trustworthy, and kind to pets and their owners!
