About: I have worked fully remote for 10 years now which has given me the opportunity to devote lots of time to my own dog as well as friends and family! Experience in senior care and medications including oral and injection. Being home every day gives me lots of time for potty breaks, walks and treats. I have a dog of my own, Fern, who is a sweet and mellow 12 yo Bichon Frise. I also live blocks from the lakefront in a very dog friendly part of Bay View! I have staked leashes in both the front and back yard and am always closely supervising potty breaks and time outside. I also have a pet camera so I’m able to monitor when I’m not home for a couple hours.

“Berenice was great with our pup! She quickly gained her trust with treats and wiped her paws off after walking in the snow. She was on time and respectful of our home. Will definitely use Berenice again!”

About: No kids or pets of my own and a big Jeep means my outdoorsy lifestyle is open and flexible for your fur babies. I'm experienced with dogs from all walks of life. You name it, I'm down for it. I have confident experience with reactive dogs and big breeds especially. I'm a part time barista, working mostly evenings, so morning and mid-day walks work best for me. I am available for night walks after work as well, if that works for your schedule. Weekend boarding is best with advance notice, as I occasionally pick up Friday and Saturday shifts at the coffee shop. I live on the second floor with access to a fenced in backyard. Hardwood floors in home. No kids or other pets of my own. I do have houseplants if your dog is sensitive to soils, fungus, or has a history of plant eating. Crating is an option I'm comfortable with if that's what helps your furry friend feel safe, though my ideal set up is to share my whole space and enriching lifestyle with your pup, or to visit them in their home where they're already comfortable. I'm mobile with the Jeep as well, so we don't have to stick to my neighborhood if your dog is reactive and needs some extra space.

“Angela took such good care of our boys! She was on time, a great communicator and sent awesome photos! Would highly recommend her for your pet’s care needs!”

About: In addition to growing up with family pets, I've been a mom (and step-mom) to two cats and fish for the past four years. I've been a regular point of contact for friends needing dog walks or drop-in care. I'm excited to extend my services and make new furry, four-legged (or no-legged!) friends. I'm a work from home professional and welcome the opportunity to step away from my desk, whether that's to check in on your pets at home or stretch their legs (and mine)! I approach pet sitting with respect for your pet's routine and individual care needs. I believe in regular communication and in providing attentive, detailed care.

About: I’m a caring, responsible, and dependable pet lover! I’ve pet-sat for friends and family and have had my own pets that I’ve cared for and cherished. I’m patient, attentive, and enjoy making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved. 🐾❤️ I’m available every weekday after 4 PM and all day on weekends! I’m also flexible and can make daytime check-ins during the week when needed. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and needs! I care for pets with patience, love, and attention to their individual needs. I make sure they’re comfortable, safe, fed on schedule, and get plenty of playtime, exercise, and affection. I’m also happy to follow each client’s specific instructions and routines to help their pets feel right at home.

About: I've been around dogs my entire life — in 28 years, there have only been 7 days I've lived without one! I grew up in a home with five dogs, including four Bernese Mountain Dogs and a Sheltie. My family also responsibly bred Berners and Shelties, and I grew up around training, proper care, and learning to understand each dog's individual personality. Today, my own dog is still a huge part of my life. I also prepare homemade food for my dog and have learned a lot through that experience about paying attention to ingredients, sensitivities, age, energy levels, and individual needs. If your dog has a unique routine, dietary preferences, or special considerations, I'm happy to listen and follow the routine you've established for them. I'm comfortable with dogs of different ages, personalities, routines, and needs, and I believe patience and consistency go a long way. Most importantly, I know how hard it can be to leave your dog with someone else. I treat every dog like they're part of the family — with plenty of attention, patience, playtime, and care while you're away. 🐾 Pets are already a big part of my everyday life. I have always had dogs and currently have three cats of my own, so feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning, and keeping up with their routines are naturally part of my day. I’m also intentional about making time for the pets I care for. I’d rather give a pet my full attention than simply “check a box” and leave. I’m happy to work around their normal routine and give them the consistency they’re used to while their family is away. 🐾 I start by learning your pet’s normal routine — feeding times, walks, medications, favorite activities, boundaries, and anything else that helps them feel comfortable. Then I stick to those instructions as closely as possible. I believe good pet care is about paying attention to the little things. I watch for changes in appetite, energy, behavior, bathroom habits, or anything else that seems unusual, and I’ll communicate with you if I notice something worth knowing about. Most importantly, I want your pet to feel safe and comfortable, not like their routine has suddenly been turned upside down. Whether they want a long walk and lots of playtime or prefer to curl up somewhere quiet, I’ll meet them where they are. 🐶🐱

“Lynette was fantastic and flexible! So happy to have her walking my dogs!”

“Harper was great! She knew how to handle my pittie/boxer mix, who can be a handful. She was very thorough, giving me updates and pics during and after the visit. My doggo loved her and I will definitely rebook!”

“Tanya took care of my two dogs while I was out. She is simply amazing. Excellent communication and reliable. She is clearly a lover of all animals and treated my dogs like she’s known them forever. Will definitely book again”

About: Currently an owner of 2 dogs, one that is senior. I’ve had dogs my entire life and absolutely love them! New to the area and would love to come care for your pet and meet new friends, furry and not! I work from home and travel about once a month. I am fairly flexible to pop in during the day and let dogs out, feed them and take them on walks! I go above and beyond for my personal pets and I would do the same for yours! They are special and I want to be sure they have the best life while we have them!

“We have been having Jill come three times per week to walk our pup. She is reliable and communicative! We will continue to have her walk our fur-child.”

Sonia G.

About: I have had pets all of my life, a mix between dogs and cats! I’ve always grown up with animals in my life and loving being with them and taking care of them! I currently typically work evenings, which gives me time to dog walk during mornings and afternoons while most people are working. Dog walking is also a great way to get exercise for me! I make sure that my pets in my life feel loved and want to pass that on to other pets. Taking care of our pets is more than just feeding them and taking them to use the bathroom. It’s about making sure they have fun and are happy.

“Tasha took our pups on a long walk and they loved it. After just two meetings, our reactive doggy is already comfortable with her and our social doggy was very excited to see her again!”

Pamela F.

“Amazing as always!”

About: I’ve been a sitter on Rover since 2017. I am a very detail oriented person so you can be assured that I won’t miss a step in your pets’ routine. During my time on Rover, I have cared for dozens of clients in various types of bookings. I'm not afraid to roll around in the grass if that means your dog is happy. I am also friendly with other pets, including cats or birds. I hope you pick me to care for your fur babies :) I currently work 8-4 Mon-Friday and will generally be unavailable during those hours. My schedule can ve flexible, so if you need someone for a lunchtime drop in, it’s possible I can make that happen. I can do really early morning visits or anytime after work. The weekends are completely open though. Walks are a standard, with permission of the owner. If not, playtime in the backyard or home will make up for it. I try to keep the pets routine as similar to their norm to reduce anxiety.
