About: I have professional dog care experience from working at Hounds Town, where I managed dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels in safe group and individual settings. I’m also Dog Management Level 2 certified, with training in dog behavior, handling, and safety. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I’m used to planning my schedule around dogs’ needs like walks, feeding, playtime, and consistent attention from my experience at Hounds Town. I also have a rescue dog of my own who requires extra patience and understanding, so I’m very comfortable caring for shy, anxious, or nervous dogs who may require more time to become comfortable. Providing calm, attentive, and reliable care is something I truly enjoy and prioritize every day. For drop-in visits, I follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, and quality time with play or affection based on their personality. I want them to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. During walks, I prioritize safety with secure leash handling and awareness of our surroundings. I adjust each walk to your dog’s pace and energy level. Whether that’s an active walk or a relaxed stroll with time to sniff. I also send updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy and in good hands.

About: Hello, my name is Jennifer! I have been taking care of dogs and other small animals since I was a child. I had a couple dogs of my own, I have also taken care of bunnies, chinchillas, rats, and cats! I recently got my own dog who I love with all my heart! She is an 11 year old beagle named Matilda. I am very comfortable taking care of senior dogs, or helping out with any of your dogs medical needs. I promise to take care of and love your animal like they are my own 💗 Rover is currently my only employment. I have a lot of time available to walk, check in, or board certain animals. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your animal. I promise to take care of & love your animal like they are my own 💗 For House Sitting Requests, I am available to stay during the day, and some of the evening, but unfortunately not overnights. I currently do not have an entirely fenced in yard, however I do have ample side walk space and a nice park across from my home where I walk my own dog on leash regualrly. I have a small home that I keep tidy and pet friendly - perfect for if you're looking for someone to board your small/medium sized dog for the weekend or longer.
“Nicole has been fantastic to work with! She has taken Oliver on several walks and is always on time and gives us great notes and photos. And Oliver loves her, which is the most important part!”

About: I have volunteered for an animal shelter when I was in the US Navy. I love dogs. I can’t go anywhere without stopping to pet someone else’s dog. I am currently work for Rover part time. I work full time Monday through Friday from 1:30pm to 9:30pm. I am only available on weekends. When dogs are in my care they will be taken care of and I will do everything to the best of my ability to do what you want me to do for your dog(s).
About: I grew up with dogs, so I am pretty comfortable around them. My services for dogs is mainly taking out for walks and feeding them when you're unavailable. Not much luck in the job department as of late, so I'd rather do something to keep active and make a little something from it. The reward is getting to meet your pets and knowing that I am helpful in the time of need. I am available on weekdays anytime after 8am. I will do as the future client suggests when it comes to caring and feeding their pet. I will treat their pets as if they were my own.
“Ian is great with our girls. They have nothing but smiles after every walk with him and he is always so helpful when we find ourselves in a pinch, from giving the girls another walk when we where stuck at the airport to even learning how to feed our bearded dragons for when we go on vacation. We are very very happy with Ian and will continue to book with him for sure.”

We are so grateful for Madeleine! This is our first time using a sitter for our dog. She is patient, flexible and communicative. I appreciate her knowledge around dog body language and was grateful for all of the questions she asked to get to know Beau beforehand. I would highly recommend her and look forward to having her assist in the future!
