About: I have helped out with friends and family’s pets for a few years. I feed, walk, bathe their pets. Love to play with them with their toys and sometimes give them treats if owner allows. I’m currently wide open with my time, flexible and able to work around your schedule with your pets. I am available during the week and weekends. In both scenarios, safety, trust, and the environment are paramount. In my home, I maintain a secure and pet-friendly environment, free from hazards. For clients' homes, I conduct thorough assessments to ensure a safe setting for their pets. I adhere strictly to any instructions provided by the pet owners, maintaining routines and environments familiar to the pets to minimize stress. I prioritize trust by communicating openly and transparently with clients, providing regular updates and addressing any concerns promptly. Additionally, I strive to create a positive and nurturing environment, enriching pets' experiences with stimulating activities and plenty of love and attention.

About: I’ve grown up with pets all 22 years of my life, and caring for animals has always been a big part of who I am. I also hold a Bachelor’s degree in Animal Science, where I took specialized courses in dog training and behavior, as well as animal nutrition. On top of that, I gained hands-on experience working as a kennel technician at a local veterinary clinic, caring for pets of all ages—including seniors and those with special medical needs. In my free time, I love walking and spending time with my own dogs, so I truly understand how important daily exercise, consistency, and loving companionship are for a happy, healthy pet. Whether your furry friend needs basic care, training support, or just someone to give them attention and love while you're away, I'm here to help! I recently graduated with a degree in Animal Science and am currently exploring job opportunities in the animal care field. This means I have a very open and flexible schedule right now, and I’m available for pet care throughout the week—including weekdays, weekends, and most holidays. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine to make sure they get the consistent care they need! Safety and comfort are always my top priorities. At my home, I take dogs out on leashes for all potty breaks and walks to ensure they stay safe and secure at all times. My own dog is crate trained, so I’m familiar with using crates as a safe space when needed. I also take time to slowly introduce pets to new environments or routines to help them feel comfortable and relaxed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all routines exactly as instructed—whether that’s feeding schedules, medication, or favorite walking routes. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always aim to create a calm, loving, and trustworthy environment.

About: I grew up on a farm and we always had at least two cats and a pup running around, as well as chickens, cows, bearded dragons, bunnies, and horses. I would always help take care of all the animals. I currently work nights and would love to fill my days with some friendly furry faces and some more walks to enjoy the fresh air. I have a fenced in backyard with plenty of room for pups to play. I also love going for long walks or giving all the snuggles inside.

“So responsive and helpful!!! Gave me huge peace of mind knowing my dog was in good hands.”

About: I have loved and cared for animals my whole life and get a deep sense of joy when I am able to care for them! I have been a Certified Veterinary Technician for 15 years which has provided me experience with all kinds of animals with all types of personalities. I have an animal medical background which helps me provide safe and sound handling techniques and animal care skills. I have owned an array of animals: dogs, cats, horses, chickens, ducks, rabbits, rats, and mice. I also have cared for other farm animals such as cows, goats, and sheep. I have fostered puppies through Ruff Start Rescue for 7 years which has given me extensive experience with potty training and leash training. I work at a school which gives me summers and weekends available for animal care. I am often available in the evenings year-round also. I have a quiet neighborhood and a large yard. My dog is young, playful, and very friendly. I am familiar and comfortable with crate training and dog-safe practices within the home. I am aware of pet toxicity and safety concerns with pets.

About: I just recently had to put my 14.5 year old Yorkie Poo to rest. I miss having a buddy at my house but not ready to take on another animal full time yet. I supported my dog through pancreatitis, congestive heart failure and other health considerations. We had him since he was a couple months old until his golden years. I have watched family members, friends, Rover friend's and neighbor’s dogs and always treat them like my own! Additionally, I have stopped into cat owner's homes to check in on them, clean the litter box, feed/water them, and spend time with them! I currently work from home as a Master’s level Social Worker and have very flexible hours. My children are very comfortable and respectful to animals. My children are at school during the day and will be home during the summer months. The pet would be with me with most of the time, outside of errands, etc. *Please reach out in a message regarding availability! My availability changes and I would like to give you the most up to date information! Thank you!* I currently do not have any animals in the house. I can take the dog on walks and out to use the restroom throughout the day as I do not have a fenced in yard. I have a large yard if your dog can be trusted off leash with supervision. I love to have dogs snuggle, so they are just like any other family member, allowed on the furniture. I will be home to either schedule feed, have them graze eat or kennel as requested.

About: I grew up with two big dogs. I have pet sat many times for all kinds of animals, and I really enjoy taking care of them. I will be going to the UofM this fall for animal sciences, but I will be staying in the forest lake area! I am currently working part time, so I have plenty of time for your pets! And animals really are my passion and I would take a high importance of care over your pets! And $20 off your first booking with me! I can take care of your pet in your home or outside only, I can not bring them into my home becasue I live with other people. But I will gladly adjust to your expectations and needs for your pets!

About: Growing up on a farm, I developed a deep passion for animal care that led me to participate in 4-H, county fairs, and FFA during high school. After graduation, I spent over three years working at a veterinary clinic’s boarding facility, where I gained hands-on experience in administering medications, behavior training, and providing personalized care. I was promoted to supervisor and emergency care assistant, further strengthening my leadership and critical care skills. I believe every pet deserves individualized attention, whether it’s ensuring playtime, administering medication, or offering extra TLC. My goal is to create a safe, nurturing environment where pets feel happy and owners can trust their pets are in expert hands. Since joining Rover in August 2022, I’ve had the privilege of caring for many pets and building lasting relationships with their owners. With a background in veterinary care, boarding, and behavioral training, I bring a wealth of experience to ensure your pets receive the highest standard of care. I offer a range of services, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication administration, and basic behavioral training (upon request). I’m available for daytime care, drop-ins, and occasional overnight stays on weekdays and select weekends. My flexible schedule allows me to tailor my services to meet your pet’s unique needs. Having worked in the emergency department of a reputable veterinary clinic, I’ve developed an unwavering commitment to animal welfare, approaching each pet’s care with vigilance and attention to detail.
