About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, from small breeds to giant breeds. I’m comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, and routines, and I understand that every dog has their own needs. I treat pets like family and make it a priority to follow their normal feeding, potty, exercise, and sleep routines so they feel as comfortable as possible while away from home. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to provide plenty of affection, playtime, and updates so you can feel confident your dog is being well cared for. I’m home full-time during the week, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks, playtime, attention, and plenty of companionship throughout the day. I’m also available for boarding on weekends and can adjust my routine to help keep your dog as close to their normal schedule as possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are very important to me. I have an unfenced yard, so dogs are always supervised and kept safely leashed while outside. Inside, I provide a calm and comfortable environment and follow each pet’s normal feeding, potty, exercise, and sleeping routine as closely as possible. I’m also happy to use a crate if your dog is crate trained and that is part of their usual routine.
“Lori has been walking my dog for about a week while I am in a walking boot and she is so great! She is always on time and is very communicative. My dog absolutely loves her and has been anticipating her visits on the days she is scheduled (he starts looking out of the window when it is close to time for her to come).”


About: I've been caring for pets for over 10 years — dogs and cats belonging to friends and family who trust me completely, and that trust means everything to me. What makes my care different is that it's never one-size-fits-all. If your dog lives for walks, we walk. If they're all about the ball, we play. If they just want to curl up next to someone, I'm right there. Every pet gets care shaped around who they are, not a standard routine. My home is child-free and pet-free, so your baby isn't competing for attention — they are the focus of my entire day. And when you pick them up? They'll be freshly bathed, happy, and ready to go home. Baths are always on me. PLEASE NOTE: I can board up to 4 pets from the same family at one time, as the pets all know each other. I do not take multiple pets from different families to board at the same time. It's often stressful for the animals and I don't get to enjoy your pet if he is stressed out by strange animals. My home is child-free and animal-free, which means your pet gets a calm, quiet environment with zero stress from other animals and no chaotic energy. They are the sole focus of my day. IMPORTANT: I only take pets from one family at a time. I want to enjoy your dog. For dogs: I follow your routine to the letter — feeding times, walk schedule, medications, treats, favorite spots. I ease new guests in gently because I know the first few hours matter most. If your dog loves walks, we walk. If they're a ball dog, we play. They get care shaped around who they are, not a generic routine. Every dog goes home with a complimentary bath so they're clean, happy, and ready to see you. For cats: I understand cats aren't small dogs — they need something completely different. I give them a safe, quiet space to settle in at their own pace, no forcing interaction. I read their cues — whether they want lap time, window watching, or just a calm human nearby. Litter box hygiene is spotless and non-negotiable. I'm very careful about doors, windows, and escape points so your indoor cat stays safely indoors. For all pets: I monitor eating and behavior closely and flag anything off straight away. You'll get regular photo and video updates — as many or as few as you'd like. I've been caring for pets for over 10 years for people who trust me like family, and I take that trust seriously. My goal is simple: your baby comes home calm, happy, and exactly themselves. I do have a fenced yard but do not allow dogs to go out alone unsupervised. I enjoy walking dogs and will keep the routine that you have with your dog. I only take cats and dogs at the same time from the same family. I will always confirm any animal is up to date with vaccines and flea treatments first.

In Your Home (Drop-Ins/Sitting): I respect your space while prioritizing your pet's comfort. During visits, I handle feeding, refreshing water bowls, cleaning litter boxes, and administering any required medications. I make sure to include plenty of quality playtime or belly rubs, and I always send you photo updates so you know they are safe and happy.
About: I’ve always had a love for animals since a young age growing up my parents never allowed me to own a pet, so I found a passion for caring for others pets ! I have worked for family and friends with watching and grooming their pets and I’ve also watched babies and toddlers since middle school which I now would be in my 2nd year of college. I currently am not employed, but I do side hustles such as selling on depop so sometimes I’ll ship packages off, I create clothes and accessories, and I babysit. Outside of that I have a lot of free time. I will care for your fur babies by listening to them while also following your requests/schedule throughly. I have no problem with more energetic animals taking them on a walk or just any personality finding a way to accommodate.

About: Hi! I’m Antonio, and I’ve had dogs for all 29 years of my life. Caring for dogs isn’t just something I do—it’s something I’ve always loved. My best friend is Boss, my 6-year-old Pit Bull. Raising him has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and understanding that every dog has their own personality and needs. I’m returning to Rover after taking a few years away, and this time my goal is different. I’m building a professional pet care business that I plan to grow into my full-time career. That means every booking matters, and every dog in my care is treated like family. My home offers plenty of space for dogs to feel comfortable, and I have a large yard where they can safely enjoy supervised playtime, exercise, and fresh air. Whether your pup is here for daycare, overnight boarding, a walk, or a drop-in visit, they’ll receive plenty of attention, affection, and care. I know how difficult it can be to leave your dog with someone else, so communication is a priority. I’ll send regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and having a great time. I can’t wait to meet you and your pup! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy being around dogs. My mornings begin after I drop my son off at preschool, giving me plenty of time throughout the day for walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, and one-on-one attention. In the afternoons, I’m away for about two hours while coaching football nearby, but I’m less than 10 minutes from home and plan my schedule to ensure every dog is comfortable and well cared for before and after practice. My evenings are dedicated to spending time with the dogs in my care, making sure they get plenty of exercise, affection, and a consistent routine. I take pet care seriously and make it a priority every day. I provide every dog with the same level of care and attention that I give my own dog, Boss. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any special instructions provided by the owner. In my home, dogs have plenty of space to relax indoors and enjoy supervised time in my large yard. I make sure they always have fresh water, a clean environment, lots of attention, and a safe, comfortable place to rest. I never leave dogs unattended outside, and I monitor interactions carefully to ensure everyone stays safe and happy. For drop-in visits and walks, I respect my clients’ homes while making sure their pets receive the care, exercise, affection, and companionship they need. I’ll also send regular photo and video updates so owners can feel confident that their pets are being well cared for.

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.
