About: Animals have always been a meaningful part of my life. As a child, I dreamed of becoming a veterinarian. While my path took a different direction, my love for caring for animals never changed. I find joy, peace, and connection in being around dogs and cats, they comfort me as much as I comfort them. Over the years, I’ve cared for pets of all ages, from playful puppies to senior companions. While I haven’t done formal training, I’m confident and experienced in handling both younger and older pets with patience and care. What sets me apart is my commitment to treating your pet like family. I’ve pet-sat for friends, neighbors, and through Rover always approaching it with a calm, loving presence. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing that when you can’t be there, I’ll be there to care for your pet just as you would. I graduated from the University of South Carolina Beaufort in April 2023 with a bachelor’s degree in Business Management. I have found that I love being around animals more than people in an office so I have full-time availability throughout the week to dedicate my time and attention to pet care. I’ll always keep my availability up to date, and if I’m ever unable to help, I’m happy to recommend other trusted sitters I know. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, and I’m committed to making it a lasting part of my life. I've been surrounded by animals my entire life. When I was just 8 years old, my parents got my sisters and I our first puppy, who was with us until she was 17 years old. Over the years, my family has cared for a variety of pets, including three dogs, a cat, two hamsters, and even a lizard. Today, I share my home with my fiancé, our dog Rino, and our cat Milo. Because I’ve always been around animals, caring for them comes naturally to me. Whether I’m in my home or yours, my top priority is making sure your pet feels loved, safe, and happy. I treat every animal as if they were my own; with patience, kindness, and attention to their unique needs. I'm available for dog walking, feeding, administering medication, and more. You can trust that your pet will be in caring and capable hands.

About: Hello! My name is Kenzie, and I’m a zookeeper with a lifelong passion for animals of all kinds!

Working in animal care has taught me the importance of adaptability, patience, and individualized care. I have extensive experience with daily care and feeding, administering medications, following medical procedures, and safely relocating animals when needed. I love knowing all the little quirks that make your baby unique, what kind of scratches they like, which toys are their favorite etc. The more I know about their needs the more fun we can have together!

At home, I’m also a proud cat mom to two rescue cats, each with their own unique health needs that I manage alongside them. I’m especially passionate about choice-based and cooperative care, and I bring that same philosophy to every animal I work with. I’m very comfortable caring for nervous or shy animals and will always respect their boundaries and give them space when they need it. On the other hand, I’m a big animal lover, so if your critter is looking for some extra cuddles and affection, I’m always happy to oblige!

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 Emerson. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
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.
