I may be new to the Rover platform, but I’m not new to loving and caring for animals! I’am free most of the day loving and caring for immediate family, I do have time to care for fun loving extended pet family that enjoys our services, I’am so excited to help with dog walking and pet drop-in visits (especially cat care visits!).

Here’s what I can do for you: • Dog Walking: I will take your dog on fun, safe walks around your neighborhood. Count on me for potty breaks, exercise, and plenty of sniffing adventures to keep your pup happy and healthy. • Drop-In Visits: For cats, dogs, or other small pets, I offer drop-in visits to feed, refresh water, clean litter boxes, and provide playtime and cuddles.

“Julie is great with Buddy! She has sat with him, given him his meds, walked and played with him. She makes sure I get photos and videos to check in. It’s nice to know there is someone reliable and caring to help with my big, goofy, neurotic dog.”

“Marilyn is extremely reliable. She communicates well and my 9 month old puppy loves her. We’ve hired Marilyn for 30 minute walks and she always walks him longer. She’s truly a gem!”

“We booked Jillian 3 times now and she always goes beyond what we ask! She sends multiple pictures and gives great feedback about our dog. She is very comfortable around our dog and I trust her when she’s with him. We will continue to book her!”

About: I have had animals my whole life-Whether that be Dogs, cats, rodents and even reptiles! I have always gravitated towards animal care and giving the best experiences possible! I have worked in a Dog Kennel for the last three years and have learned so many helpful tips when it comes to caring for pets! These skills range from boarded dogs to animals who faced amputations and needed post-op care! I am so excited to meet your pet and give them lots of cuddles and kisses! I am currently a third-year college student in a private university but i would love to walk dogs and house sit other pets during the week and on the weekends! My availability will become much greater during my holiday breaks from school, widening my ability to spend even more time with your furry (or scaley) friend! I am very skilled in dog walking whether it be very well leash trained dog or one that still needs some guidance! When it comes to drop-ins or pet sitting, I know all animals have very specific diets and can follow any directions needed for feeding time! I have also been known to give very good cuddles to pets of all shapes and sizes. I am also well practiced in administering medications as needed!
“Brandon was excellent! Arranged a meet & greet beforehand and my dog Stone was a fan from the first second. Stone was super happy and Brandon was a factor in that. Thx!!”

About: I have had either a dog, cats, lizards, and/or frogs for about 10 years. I currently own 2 cats and a dog which I have had for about 10 years. I keep friends' dogs when they have trips and need a sitter because they know I am reliable and they can leave their pets with no worries. I can keep a good schedule for walking, relaxing, and even pet cuddle time. Walks occur every 4 hours but quick bathroom breaks in the yard are always worked into the schedule as well. I have a fenced in yard in my home and tons of grass in walking distance. I am comfortable taking care of pets in any environment including my home and making it like your pet's own. I work full time M- F 8 AM - 5 PM. I feed and walk my own dog thus I am home once a day, mid day to do that. My evenings and weekends are dedicated to the my pets and the pets I board and care for through Rover. I have a fenced in yard. I live in an area with lots of grassy spots to walk. I let pets roam free in my home. I have a finished basement for pets to roam and stretch their legs.

About: I provide a calm, safe, and structured environment. I follow feeding instructions carefully, keep pets supervised, respect routines, and make sure each pet feels secure, comfortable, and stress-free. I plan my days around the pets in my care. I’m reliable, flexible, and make sure every pet gets plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and comfort throughout the day. I’ve trained my own dogs and helped train friends’ and family members’ dogs over the years. I’m trusted as their go-to caregiver because I’m patient, consistent, and genuinely love animals. Pets respond well to me, and owners trust my judgment and care.
“Alyssa is amazing with my boy “Gunner” and she’s great with communication and time schedule. I’m new to the app and was very nervous to use it but I was in need of someone for my dog. She was able to meet up and introduce herself to myself and my dog, prior to using her services and she really made us feel comfortable about it all. I will definitely use her services again!”

About: I’ve consistently had a dog in my life over the past 29 years and have played a key role in their training from puppy to adulthood. I promise to treat your furry family member(s) with the same care, love, respect, and attention that I would my own. I have a very flexible schedule, and can adjust in order to accommodate your animals needs and lifestyle. Whether it’s daily walks or just spending time with your fur baby, it will be my top priority! I can do personal in home visits when needed for playtime, visits, or daily walks ☺️ I would love to know as much as I can about your pet prior to our official date of service that way I can adapt to your pets specific needs
About: I have taken care of animals my entire life, primarily cats but dogs and fish as well. Most other animals I put extensive research into the care of when considering owning them, and I would be more than happy to use that knowledge to give your animals the best care possible. I am currently working on continuing my education, so having a way to cover my bills that allows me a flexible schedule doing something I love seemed the perfect fit. Raising my own cat, Tabitha, from a kitten to be a very social, outgoing, sweet girl who loves going for harness walks has left me with a healthy appreciation of how well it works if you treat an animal with respect and expect the same. That being said, house rules come first, and I will make sure to enforce them in your absence.

I understand the unique needs of active dogs and how to create a safe and stimulating environment for them. My home is the perfect playground for your pup. With a quarter-acre yard—huge by city standards—your dog will have plenty of room to run, explore, and stretch their legs.

“Lyndsay is terrific. She was prompt and the dogs love her. They got excited when she arrived and were suitably tired when they returned. I would definitely engage her again.”

About: Animals have been a part of my life since childhood — I grew up surrounded by dogs, cats. My love for them led me to pursue a veterinary degree, which I completed in Russia. I’ve worked in veterinary clinics and volunteered at animal shelters, caring for pets of all ages, breeds, and temperaments — from playful puppies to gentle seniors. I’m trained in giving medications, injections, and monitoring pets with special needs. I know how to keep animals calm, safe, and happy — whether it’s a short visit or an overnight stay. What sets me apart is my veterinary background, quiet and patient approach, and genuine love for animals. I treat every pet with the same care and attention I would give my own. I work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule. This allows me to easily fit pet care into my daily routine and be available for walks, visits, or sitting throughout the day. I'm happy to adjust to your pet's specific needs and routine — whether it's early mornings, midday walks, or evening cuddles. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always respect their space and routines. I follow all instructions closely — from feeding schedules and medications to favorite toys or quiet time. I take time to build trust with each pet and ensure they feel safe and comfortable. During walks, I prioritize safety at all times — I use secure leashes, avoid high-stress areas, and always walk at the dog’s pace. Whether it’s a slow stroll or a more active outing, I adjust to the dog’s energy level and needs. I’m also attentive to weather conditions and paw safety. My veterinary background helps me recognize signs of stress, discomfort, or potential health issues. I care for every pet with patience, responsibility, and a deep understanding of their physical and emotional well-being.

Jessica was a great pet sitter! She made sure to schedule a meet & greet beforehand, which I really appreciated. Our dog Wrigley, felt super comfortable around her and I knew I could trust her to take really good care of him while we were out. Jessica followed our instructions perfectly and her communication was stellar. Overall, it was a really great experience. Thank you so much Jessica!
