“Megan is extremely responsive, kind, and responsible. I will absolutely be asking for her services again in the future! I highly recommend her. My pup loved her walks! Thank you, Megan!”

“Kiley did a fantastic job with both of our dogs, even on her first visit. She arrived on time and quickly bonded with them. They had a long, enjoyable walk and returned home happy and well-exercised. When they encountered a neighbor's dog, Kiley wisely picked up our little one to prevent any potential issues. We highly recommend her!”

“Jennifer was great! Sent tons of photos and even left us flowers! She took our 5 months old puppy out and then spent some time with him in our home before leaving. Max was a very happy boy when we came home from work!”

“Cassandra is a wonderful person and so happy we found her! We have an 18yo dog who’s essentially deaf and blind and last minute Cassandra agreed to help us, not once but twice. She took exceptional care of him and was a pleasure working with.”

About: Hello! My name is Bailey and I am passionate about providing pet care and walking services! I have 6 years of experience pet sitting, walking, and overnights! I started in the pet care industry in high school where I volunteered at Baypath Humane society. That brought on several dog walking and pet sitting/daycare jobs along the years! I took a little break from working under someone for a bit, and now am deciding to pursue my own business and gain some clientele here on Rover first. I will treat your fur babies the way I treat mine! That is so important to me. I also am planning to get Re-certified in pet CPR and Hemlich soon. I have been certified previously. I always have a pet first aid kit on hand. Experienced care of cats, dogs, and rabbits and small animals. I’ve also been able to administer basic oral medications, eye drops and insulin shots in the past for my doggy clients. It truly is a passion for me to care for your pets and i’d only want the best for every animal i come in contact with. I really hope to see your pet soon for whatever their needs may be!
About: I have had pets my entire life. Dogs, cats, birds, fish, rabbits…I love animals of all kinds. My mom became paralyzed and I walked and took care of her 2 senior dogs for about 8 years until they passed. I gave them oral medication, cooked their food, walked and groomed them. Then she adopted a puppy and I took care of him as well as trained him. I currently have 2 french bulldogs of my own. One is a hyper little puppy and the other is a calmer 5 year old. I love caring for pets whether they are my own or someone else’s. I currently work part time in home care until 2pm 4 days a week. I am available most afternoons. My schedule changes if a client is in the hospital and does not need care those days which gives me the flexibility to pick up more last minute walks or check ins. I have children so I cannot work all weekend but i can be flexible and am open to them. I am open to walking your dogs in your neighborhood or wherever you prefer. I am also open to check ins and feeding dogs or cats. I will do my best to keep your routine with them if that is what you prefer. I would like to know a little bit about them beforehand and any preferences or habits they have.
About: Hello!! I am Kelsey and I have being taking care of dogs and cats regularly for over 6 years now. (The dream job) I have also been around and cared for my own pets: cats, dogs, and even guinea pigs since I can remember. I am someone who will treat your pet with the same level of love, kindness, and understanding that I would with my own! I’m here to lovingly care for your pets. While always making sure their safety is high priority. I currently am lucky enough to have a sweet 4 year old female husky named Piper. She is an absolutely joy❤️ I want to note Piper does not come with me on pet sitting bookings. My roommate is able to watch her while I’m away. My neighbors and family members have always relied on me when going on vacation to take care of their pets overnight for extended periods of time. I would always be the first to volunteer! I have been responsible for the care of both cats and dogs. Also, I have experiencing caring for a variety of different size dogs: from a 100 pound gentle giant Saint Bernard to a 6 pound sweet munchkin Chihuahua. I do have experience taking care of reactive dogs, as well as walking reactive dogs in public places. (I have a lot of compassion for the misunderstood pups 🥰). I try to make sure to keep them safe, and at ease. Also I make sure to learn as much about your pet(s) to try and give I also have experience taking care of elderly dogs and cats. Alongside this, I have administered oral medication, at the pet parents' request and instruction, to dogs before. Keeping your pet happy with love and praise, and always safe is my priority. Your fur babies will get lots of cuddles and play time, as I am a pride myself on being an affectionate and gentle pet caretaker. Thank you for considering to entrust me with the care of your fur baby. ❤️ As a pet owner myself, I truly understand the importance of having peace of mind that your pet is in good hands. I sincerely look forward to meeting you both! 🐾 I currently work full- time at a nonprofit organization. I do primarily work from home and I am able to be very flexible with care during the ‘work day’ and flex my hours during the week. Which really does allow me ample opportunities to be available and fit in pet care during throughout day. Also this gives me the flexibility to work from your home if you are comfortable with that, so I can extend my care time with your four legged friend as much as possible! I am very easy going and willing to try and be flexible with my schedule. Typically Monday-Friday I am available consistently after 4pm or before 10am for drop ins and dog walks. I also have flexibility during the ‘work’ day hours for multiple drop ins and walks or good old fashion cuddle time with your fur babies. If you are comfortable with this, I’d be happy to work remotely from your home so I can extend my stay with your pets for as long as possible. I am also available for house sitting and pet care overnight. I can be quite flexible with dates for overnights. I have experience watching pets over the course of multiple weeks at a time. So if you’re headed out on a long vacation, I have experience with pet care of an extended period. On the weekends, Saturday through Sunday, I have a lot of open time/ flexibility and open hours to be available to take care of your pet(s)! I try my best to keep my calendar up to date, however if you see a day marked unavailable that you are looking for help on, please still feel free to message me. I’ll make it work with your schedule! ☺️ Trust and safety may be the two most important aspects of pet care. To ensure this with those I work with, I make sure, before any pet care job especially if they are a new client, to ask the important questions. Examples being, to ask if there are any medical conditions I should be aware, dietary restrictions, exercise preferences, and the list can go on. So I can understand how best to take care of your pet and meet their needs. Also to build trust with you as the owner, so you can have peace of mind that your fur baby is in good hands. I prioritize the wishes of the owner for how they want their pet cared for. I have a secure, fenced in backyard at home if you would want me to care your fur baby in my home. Also while working in client's homes I make sure to not only of course take care of your pet, but to also take care and respect your home. Typically I make sure, specifically dogs, get out to play and go for walks, while also making sure to give lots of cuddles and positive encouragement. My goal is to make sure your pet gets the loving care, consistent attention, and safe environment they need!
About: I have been caring for dogs and cats since I was a little girl, whether they were my own pets or the pets of neighbors, friends, or the dogs at my daycare job. People know they can rely on me especially when it comes to their pets, because I know that to most people, their dog or cat is seen as an important member of the family and they should be treated as such. I am very capable of this as well as seeing to your animal’s needs, including but not limited to: playing, exercising, grooming, bathing, feeding, training, and petting. At the moment, I am working at a doggy daycare and learning to train dogs. I have available on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays but I will become more available soon. I will play with your pet and create a safe way for them to play. I will make sure your pet is healthy, happy, and safe. I will respect your property and privacy and make sure I follow your instructions to the T.

About: Volunteer at the Hotel for Homeless dogs for 4 years now. Lifetime pet owner with much experience. No age, size, or breed I would not care for. Currently Radiology student at CCRI. Set to graduate in May 2027. Take my responsibilities and duties very seriously. I would treat your animals like they were my own. I have my own vehicle and means of transportation. Whether it’s a drop in visit, walking or sitting I will make sure to tend to their needs.
About: I got my first dog through the foster care system three years ago, and that experience completely changed the way I see dogs. Since then, I’ve come to appreciate the happiness, comfort, and companionship they bring to our often chaotic lives. I treat every dog with the same patience, care, and attention I’d want for my own. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or simply keeping them company, my goal is to make each visit a positive experience so both you and your dog feel comfortable and confident in my care. There’s nothing quite like being greeted by a wagging tail and an excited smile, and I love being part of that happiness. As a full-time student, I have dedicated time each week for pet care and make reliability a priority. I’m available Tuesday and Thursday mornings, Wednesdays from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM, and weekends from the morning until 7:00 PM. I look forward to giving your dog the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. I understand that trusting someone with your dog is not a easy decision. I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own by following your routine, prioritizing their safety, and giving them plenty of attention during every visit. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you always know how your pup is doing.

About: Dogs have been part of my life as long as I can remember — I grew up with a black Lab (12 great years), have had my own dog for almost 7, and regularly watch a close friend's dog when they travel. So I'm used to slipping into someone else's routine and earning a new dog's trust while making sure they are enjoying themselves. On walks I'm patient and attentive: no phone-scrolling, pace matched to your dog, and a photo update after every visit. Happy to do a meet-and-greet first if your dog is nervous, senior, or just particular. Message me anytime. I am a Marketing Consultant by trade so I typically have time during my days to come meet up with a dog who needs some care. That's why I started my Rover profile. I love dogs and have time for them! I have two young kids and a dog at home so I'm accustomed to taking direction. Happy to follow any directions you have to care for your dog - every dog has a 'thing' :) My main goal is to always make sure the dog gets the essentials - exercise, food, water - and from there it's about happiness. I'll play, give pets, take outside in the yard...whatever the dog needs!
“Marina is great, she arrives on time and is able to take Hensley out on walks in the woods. Our pup is a little on the shy side and she has been kind enough to gently introduce her to another dog to help with that. Thank you, Marina!”

About: I am an animal lover who goes above and beyond caring for animals. My Vizsla is 12 years old and recently had to go away for a week and he needed to stay at a kennel. He had never been kenneled before and realized how important it is to find a loving and caring place for him while I was away. I was lucky enough to find a place but realized the importance of having somewhere/someone to care for pets as well as I would. So decided to sign up for Rover and hoping to help someone as I was helped! I have a home with a decent sized fenced in back yard. I also take my dog on an off leash hike a day and understand how important exercise is and make it a priority in our home on a daily basis.
About: I have been providing in-home pet care for over 4 years now, with plenty of experience walking, caring for, and loving dogs. I have administered medicine, and am cpr and first-aid certified. I currently have 1-2 daily walks scheduled everyday Monday-Friday, and am looking to add up to 6 walks everyday! I’m hoping to have breaks between every 2-3 walks in order to care for any pet I am currently caring for in-home. I will always meet you and your pet(s) before any one on one care to ensure that we are a perfect match! Your pet’s comfort and happiness is my top priority.
About: I’m a retired person with grooming experience. I also worked in a kennel for 6 years. Volunteered at a shelter for 1 year walking dogs plus I have my own dogs. Your Furbaby will be in good hands!! I have a bichon poo that is in training now. I’m retired so I can concentrate on him. I’m a caregiver for mom but I still have spare time to dedicate to dog walking. I would be walking dogs so a route would be discussed with the owner. Otherwise I would scout out a safe area to walk there dogs
About: Personal experience caring for dogs for over 10 years. I have a Mini Aussie who is the love of my life! I have watched friends' dogs for extended periods and done dog walking for up to 2 dogs. I also have the availability to transport one dog in my car. As a teacher, I have summer off, with a wide range of availability during the weekdays as well as some weekend time. I am able to spend ample time with your pet! If your dog also loves dogs, I would be happy to bring Luna along as a playmate! I am comfortable watching your pet(s) in your home environment. I am open to spending time outside in a backyard area, taking your pet for a walk, and spending time within your home with your pet. I am happy to follow any house rules you have with your pet.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Franklin
This was our first time using Talia for our 6 month old fur baby. We were nervous. Talia immediately put us at ease. Incase great to learn that she has experience with puppies and even made a suggestion to us when trying to get her to stop picking up stuff when walking. After seeing the pictures from their first visit, it's obvious that Nova feels the same. Thank you Talia. Looking forward to your next visit.
