Dog Walking In East Bench

About: I have been taking care of animals ever since I would walk. Growing up on a farm I had the opportunity to take care and provide for all kinds of animals from horses, cows, chickens to cats and dogs! I’m currently working on getting my veterinary technician degree from Purdue University and work part time in a vet clinic. I currently work part time M/W/F for a couple hours in the morning at a vet clinic so I would have all the time to look after your pets any day of the week. Whatever care and attention your pet needs I can provide it. Working part time at vet clinic has also given me skills to better take care and look after your pets.

“Saya is the best dog walker I've ever had. My dog adores her (and my dog is picky!). In addition, Saya is (1) incredibly trustworthy (2) has amazing communication (3) very kind / thoughtful. When my dog gets all upset about putting on her harness, Saya gave her belly rubs. Saya has totally won my dog and myself over. Lexie is a happier, healthier dog because of Saya. I am happy to be a reference for her at any point!!”

“Sadie always has a great time with Sheila! Since I'm gone 12 hours a day, it feels good knowing that I can depend on Sheila to help take care of my dog. She was very thorough and asked good questions during our first meeting, and lets me know far in advance if she's going to be out of town.”

“Paige is everything that I was hoping to find in a dog walker! My pup loved her immediately. She is very reliable, easy going, and communicative. So glad to have found her. Highly recommended.”

About: Hi, I’m Jacky! My love for animals began at a young age. I grew up on a farm, so I have been around animals of all types since I was a baby. There has never been a time where we have had less than 5 dogs at our home.🐶 I have had countless pets and memories that come with each, so I know how much parents love their fur babies and want them to stay safe and happy! I have 2 fur babies of my own named Sadie and Zoey! While I finish school, they are in good hands back home.🏡 As a high schooler, I was a vet technician. In this role I fed, watered, and provided medical care for both dogs and cats. I also bathed dogs of all sizes and clipped their nails.🩺 While in this role, I also maintained the deep care that any owner would hope for while their pet is away from them. I have helped dog sit for family members and friends when they’re away from home. I can send picture and updates as needed! I look forward to connecting!✨ I’m currently a full-time university student, however, I only attend school 2x a week. I am usually available on Mondays and Thursdays all day, and available most weekday evenings. My availability on the weekends are limited. I provide attentive, loving care tailored to each pet’s routine. I want to ensure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for inside and outside of their home. Parents can know their pet is in reliable, professional, and safe hands.

About: My family has had cats and dogs my whole life! My dad is a natural Disney princess with animals, and while I don't have his insane levels of magnetism it's long been my life's goal to win over every animal I come across. As for the unwinnable (and wild...) ones, I've learned to love them from afar. Regardless of your pet's preferences I'll see to it that they're as happy as I can make them! I'm finishing up my degree at the U so I have plenty of flexibility in my schedule, especially during the summer. I'm excited to make some new furry friends:) I'm currently off school and without a regular work schedule so my time is almost entirely mine to do with as I please. If you need a last minute visit there's a 90% chance I'll be available since I'm usually just bopping around the city. I'll of course follow any instructions you leave and I'm also pretty good at reading animals in the moment and figuring out what's needed. While caring for your pet I promise they'll be my highest priority!

“Bella has been great. We met prior to her starting dog walks. She’s prompt, professional and trust worthy. She’s been walking my dog weekly & sending reports. Will continue to use her.”

“Sarah has been walking our pups for the past two weeks, and they’ve already fallen in love with her. She’s punctual and ensures they get their walks, treats, and belly rubs. I had a hard time finding someone I could trust to take care of them, but I’ve found my perfect match in Sarah.”

“Alexandra did amazing!! Ragnar loved his walks!”

About: I have experience with small puppies (2 months old) and older dogs, and I am super comfortable with big dogs, but I also love smaller dogs! I currently am a full-time student, so pet care is ideal for me as I have plenty of time to spend with the dog(s), but can also still get my assignments done! I am comfortable leashing dogs and walking them in safe areas, I have experience with reactive and anxious dogs, and am more than willing to do whatever eases the owner’s mind!

About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve spent more than 20 years raising dogs — including a Spitz–Collie mix, Japanese Akita, Elkhound, German Shepherd mix, and Doberman — and I’ve been a Zen cat mom to two wonderful cats, a tortoiseshell and a tuxedo, for the past 15 years. I’m new to the area and absolutely love animals. As an entrepreneur, I’m able to keep a flexible schedule, which allows me to be available for pet care. I see pet sitting as a wonderful way to stay active while exploring and getting to know my new community. I tailor my care to each pet’s routine so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. In your home, I follow your instructions closely — including feeding schedules, fresh water, litter box or yard breaks, walks, medications (if needed), and favorite routines or rituals. During house sitting and drop-in visits, I also keep an eye on your home’s safety, bring in mail or packages, and maintain a calm, tidy environment. For dogs, I provide structured walks, playtime, and plenty of affection while respecting their energy level and training style. For cats, I offer gentle interaction at their pace — whether that’s playtime, quiet companionship, or simply maintaining their preferred environment — along with daily litter care and enrichment. My goal is always to reduce stress, maintain consistency, and ensure every pet feels secure, seen, and well-cared for in their familiar space.

About: I have been around animals my whole life and have been in the veterinary field for 2 years. I'm looking to do some dog walking for the summer, and am a regular cat sitter! I'm available Mon-Wed at any time in the day! I can make Sundays work after 12pm. I'm currently working full time Thurs-Sat 1p-1a so I will be unavailable those days and Sunday mornings. I am happy to petsit at your home, or I can stop by to give your fuzzy creature a potty break! Unfortunately I live in a small apartment and am unable to petsit within my home.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for the last 10 years before getting my own pup! I love all animals, and after using Rover myself, I know how important it is to find a great caretaker who will set your mind at ease and take great care of your fur baby. I am very responsive and flexible with my schedule, and will always keep you informed. I have experience with reactive dogs, administering medication, and handling multiple animals at once. I am comfortable with dogs of all ages, sizes, and breeds and will give them the love and care they deserve as if they were my own. I have my own dog, so I am fully aware of how much time needs to be committed to their care, and will be very detail oriented with your pet! I will gladly accommodate specific walking routes, favorite toys or play times, or any special foods to treat or avoid. I have a fenced yard and am very conscious of dog interactions since my dog has some reactivity. I am always mindful of other dogs or animals on walks to make sure my dog is safe and I can redirect his attention or avoid confrontation with off leash dogs, and will show the same attentiveness with yours! For any boarding/doggy day care requests, I require that your pup be crate trained for at least 1 hour at a time comfortably.

About: I’ve had dogs in my family my entire life of all age ranges. My wife and I currently have a sweet 5 year old golden retriever who would love some company! I’m currently enrolled in a doctorate program at Westminster with classes only on Tuesdays and Thursdays. My schedule is open the rest of the week! We live in a duplex-style home in the lower level with access to a beautiful fenced in yard. Plenty of space to roam in a safe, controlled environment.

“Catrine was very helpful and accommodating. She took great care of my dogs!”

About: I’ve been taking care of neighbors and friends pets since I was about 13! I love all types of animals and have a black lab and a tuxedo kitty of my own. I work part-time, so I will have plenty of time to care for animals! I am willing to board during the week and on weekends. I have a large fenced yard for a dog to play around, and a decent sized home. I have one roommate who also loves animals!

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and ages, from energetic puppies to gentle seniors. I’m also great with cats! Compassionate, dependable, and always on time. Right now, my schedule is fully open, which means I can be flexible and available whenever needed. Pet care easily fits into my daily routine! I always treat each home and pet with the utmost respect and care. I follow routines closely, ensure clean, safe environments, and prioritize trust and comfort.

About: Hello! I am 29 years old, a current graduate student at the U and part-time cat sitter/dog walker. I have a ton of experience in pet care and have been doing Rover since 2017. My interest in becoming a pet sitter/dog walker was because I have a huge passion for animals and as a pet owner myself, I know how difficult it is to be away from your beloved pets and putting your trust into someone to care for them isn’t always easy. Steady communication and constant updates will help ease some of those worries. I take advantage of the various features of the app to always keep owners in the loop! BACKGROUND: Growing up in the country, I was taught the responsibility of owning a pet at a young age. Living near farms, I owned and was exposed to lots of different animals and pets. I’m familiar and comfortable around all breeds of dogs and animals. I am also familiar with ecollar technology and have experience with dog obedience training. I typically reserve time in my mornings & evenings for drop-in visits and walks. During the summer, I am far more flexible versus during school year. I am always extremely cautious, I have good attention to detail and my surroundings. I treat & respect your home as if it was my own.

“Lisa helped me out on short notice. She was prompt on scheduled services and communicated with pictures while on the walks. Thanks Lisa”
