About: I love dogs! I have had dogs my whole life & have cared for so many over the years. We currently have a 9 year old corgi/lab and a 4 year old Aussie doodle at home. I am a nurse full time, so hanging out with dogs makes my off days so much better! I work night shift, so am available throughout the day when needed usually. My schedule is very flexible and the nights I work change every week In my home, my dogs own the house haha just kidding. My dogs have a very relaxed, free lifestyle they live. I will care for the pets of others like my own, but will follow requests of the owner!
“Michele is wonderful! She is extremely responsive on requests for service, she is fabulous with our dog as she’s caring, loving and brings treats, and she takes wonderful pictures and shares them!”
About: I’ve grown up with animals. I worked seven years professionally with dogs and cats. Special skills do include administering medication. I own a senior dog named Benji and a cat named Luna. Currently in Vetmed. I currently work full time, but I’m available all day Tuesday, Wednesday and Sunday. Other days I work until about 6. Just let me know where I’m needed and I can work things out. 🐾🐾 I will treat your home with respect, give the best care to your pet, and treat them like they are my own. Every animal deserves attention and care.
“Bethany is great! Reliable. Friendly. And when we met her she knew exactly who needed to like her most and snuggled right up to our dog! Who did love her ❤️🐶🐾 Would recommend 100%. And we will use Bethany again without hesitation!”
About: Animal rescue has always been part of my life. I've owned dogs, cats, birds and fish and since I've had no children of my own, I treat them as such. I will treat yours the same! I have experience with dogs of all sizes, kitties, and pocket pets too! I have many repeat clients with multi-pet households. Med dispensing is not a problem either. Book me for your next drop-in visit! I’m usually able to accept last minute requests. I respond quickly as well. I look forward to hearing from you soon! I work a full time job Monday- Friday 8am-4pm. I can do drop in visits before and after my work hours, as well as some lunchtime drop ins. My weekend schedule is flexible. During drop in visits I will feed, water and dispense meds to your pet if needed. I will also walk them or let them out in fenced area if applicable.
About: I’ve been caring for animals my whole life- it’s a true passion that shapes who I am. From growing up with my own dog and regularly helping neighbors with walks, feeding, and playtime, to currently sharing my home with my energetic Aussiedoodle, Bodhie, I’ve built hands-on experience that lets me adapt quickly to each pet’s unique needs and personality. I’m equally comfortable with cats, having lived with them for years and handled everything from daily feeding and interactive play to litter box care and administering medication when needed. For small animals, I grew up with hamsters and have been a dedicated guinea pig mom to three wonderful piggies in my adult life, so I know exactly how to provide the specialized care, fresh veggies, and gentle handling these little ones thrive on. I’m actively working with my own high-energy young dog on leash skills and calm behavior around distractions, so I’m comfortable supporting your pet’s training routines too. What truly sets me apart is my deep respect and individualized attention for every animal I care for- I treat them as if they were my own. Whether it’s tailoring the perfect walk for your dog, giving your cat those essential snuggles, maintaining a consistent routine for your senior pet, or ensuring your small animal gets enrichment and the right diet, I’m committed to keeping them happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. I’m currently on a leave of absence from my job, which means I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your pets. I will be able to give your fur babies the attention, care, and companionship they deserve throughout the day. Your pet won’t just get the basics- they’ll get quality time, belly rubs, and lots of love! I make it a priority to maintain a safe, familiar, and stress-free environment. I know how important routines are, so I closely follow your instructions- from feeding and medication to walk schedules and favorite toys or games. I take time to build trust with your pet, always moving at their pace and making sure they feel comfortable while you’re away. I also respect your home just as much as I respect your pets- keeping things tidy, secure, and treating your space with care. You can feel confident knowing your pet is in good hands and receiving plenty of attention, love, and care while you’re gone.
About: I have taken care of dogs since before I can remember. I have grown up around dogs and a few cats my whole life, and I truly love helping others take care of their furry best friends too! I am going into my freshman year of college locally this Fall 2026 and I would love to be able to work around my class schedule and my schedule with my sales job. I make sure pets have everything they need including their food, water, and whatever else their owners need me to give them. I take dogs outside for either a 10-15 minute walk a few times a day or, if you have a backyard, I’ll play with the dog in the backyard. I give both dogs and cats lots of pets and attention during my time with them and make sure I leave the house clean of anything the pets have done while the owners weren’t home. I make sure all the doors leading into the house are securely locked before leaving and make sure that nothing harmful to the pets is left within their reach.
About: I walk dogs, cat sit, and house sit around my neighborhood and it’s my favorite part of my week. I have fostered around 150+ animals! I once fostered a momma dog and helped her birth her babies and nurse them to health! I couldn’t imagine myself doing anything else! I currently work part time as a dance teacher but when I am not teaching I am either dog sitting or house sitting, if there is a family in need of a sitter I can make it work! I easily can follow direction on security of the home and the dogs. The animals are my number one priority and focus when I’m on the job.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and have spent the last few years caring for close friends’ dogs and cats. I truly love animals and enjoy giving them lots of attention, walks, and care. I’m happy to look after dogs of all breeds and sizes, making sure they’re fed, exercised, and feel safe, loved, and comfortable—just like they would at home. My special skills include professional belly rubs and treat giver. I work part-time, so I’m pretty flexible during the weekdays for walks, visits, and feedings. On weekends I work eight-hour shifts on Saturday and Sunday, so I’m available early in the morning or later at night. I’m always happy to coordinate schedules to make sure your pet is well taken care of. Whether it’s my own dog or yours, there will always be long walks, playtime, and lots of belly rubs. My dog loves chasing his tennis ball and playing tug-of-war, so I’m very used to keeping pups active and happy. Whatever your dog loves to do, I’ll make sure they get plenty of fun, care, and attention.
About: I come from a long line of animal lovers and have never spent more than a few months of my life without caring for one or more animals.

About: I grew up on a farm with dogs, cats, horses, cattle, chickens, ducks, sheep, and pigs. I started showing animals at my county fair when I was 9 years old. I have taken care of dogs and cats my whole life until I moved to Florida this year to live with and help take care of my grandpa. It would be a blessing to find some new animal friends to love on! I am currently working full time the at a Beach Resort as the Front Office Supervisor. My schedule is 3 PM to 11 PM so my mornings are free. If needed, I am also more than happy to swing by after my shift to walk/check on pets. I am unable to board pets at my house at this time, but I do not take going into other homes lightly. It is an honor that I treat with the utmost respect.
About: I grew up on a farm with cows, pigs, goats, dogs and cats, and chickens. I’ve worked in horse barns, done dog sitting, and have experience with many different breeds. I love walking, and I’m looking to help out those in need of dog walking & other services. I’m reliable and trustworthy. I’m currently at home for the summer in between jobs, so I have a very open calendar. Looking to fill my schedule with some new furry friends, including drop-in visits, walks, pet daycare/boarding, etc. I have a nice sized back yard (not fenced currently) and large neighborhood for walking! I have one senior indoor cat in the home. My home is around 2000 sq ft, quiet, with plenty of room to set up pet beds for overnight boarding.
About: I had a dog for 10 years he died of old age, but I enjoy being a helping extra hand for others who need it!! I raised him since a puppy and my grandma has dogs I come and visit as well. I work part time at my job, but I have a set schedule and I know that it is important to meet both job requirements. Working one job doesn’t interfere with my daily life, so I picked up pet sitting. I make sure it is a clean safe environment. Having a dog for years I know the good and bad sides. It is my responsibility to take good care of each and every animal!
About: I've taken care of dogs of many different breeds since i was 15. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and watch their pets. I've trained 2 puppies to be house trained including my dog I own now. I am an avid animal lover and I'm currently a stay at home mom and have lots of free time to board/take care of your dog(s) or cat(s). I love dog walking & giving your pets the most attention and love they deserve! I will feed, walk & play with your pet whether its in my home or yours. I have a decent size yard to allow your dog to run around with my very friendly dog to keep them company! I can also keep them crated if you prefer but have dog beds for your pet to cozy up and feel at home in my home.
“Seth was an amazing caregiver for my dog. He walked my terrier mix Gracie several days in a row while I was out for the day with visitors. His service went beyond my expectations. From coaxing Gracie out from under the bed on the first day to getting her to walk over 2 miles by the end of the week. He would also spend time after each walk to bond with her. His love of animals really shows in the care he provided my dog. Seth also makes full use of the Rover app to communicate start and stop times and the route they took. He would enter a progress report and sent several pictures after each walk. I really felt at ease with Seth in my home and will use him when I need a sitter. He’s very conscientious about his job. I highly recommend Seth for all your pet care needs.”

Patricia walks our dog Delta three days a week while I'm at work, and she's been excellent. She's on time, easy to work with, and asks questions instead of assuming. She even offered to stay a while longer and keep the pets company while we were out, which we hadn't thought to ask for. Delta is well taken care of. Highly recommend her.
Azharia has been walking my dog for the past few weeks and it is going exceptionally well. She is is a very caring animal lover with a great understanding of how to work with shy dogs. She is always punctual and communicates throughout each walk. Also she is very responsive and respectful of any special requests or instructions I may have. I will continue to work with her for sure. Highly recommend.
It was my 1st time using Rover so I didn't really know what I was doing. Jonah was kinda enough to help me and flex with all my time changes. I was looking for someone to help do the longer walk for my Bear since Im getting out of a walking boot. When Bear came back from his walk he was tuckered out which was what I was looking for!! I would absolutely recommend Jonah!!
