About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 7 years old. I’ve raised many puppies and taken care of them into their senior days. I’ve provided pure love, safety, care, and tons of cuddles with many many many doggies. My own throughout my entire life, and for many friends, neighbors, family, and clients. My schedule is pretty open and flexible right now. So I’d have all the time to give your pups all my time and attention. Availability 7 days a week. I have a fenced yard. A safety gate blocking the stairs to the basement so no little doggies that might have trouble slipping on stairs can get to them or the basement. A dogs safety is always my utmost priority.

About: 23 years of dedication & genuine love for what I do. I've pretty much done it all except for training. Primarily grooming but also have extensive experience with walking, boarding, day care, home/vacation visits & house sits. I've been a home groomer for the past 8 years but due to allergies, need to switch modes. Over those years I regularly attended workshops & seminars to continue to educate myself & hone my craft. Including certification courses in puppy handling, senior care, proper sanitization, business compliance, skin assessment, & CPR. This only means I have been educated on these subjects, I am not an expert. As mentioned, I was a home groomer so I'll be turning my grooming room into an area for daycare/boarding. I am home based and plan to stay that way. Pets in my home will have a designated area for eating & sleeping but will have freedom to walk about for the most part. I have a large, fenced back yard with plenty of space to run & play. The yard will be the primary potty area. Walks are available for an added charge. Caring for pets in the clients home will be based on the instructions given by owner.

About: I have always had dogs growing up and I currently have my own dog who is 2 years old. I love caring for my pets, spending time with them, and seeing them happy! I recently just graduated college and am not working because I am studying to take my exam to be licensed as a nurse! I have plenty of free time and want to fill some of that time spending it with your cute dog(s)! I have a fenced-in yard that my dogs love running around in. I also make sure to take my own dog out for walks early in the morning or later at night so she does not overheat in this heat.

About: Being a bunny owner, I take a very patient approach towards each animal I am caring for. I prefer to know their habits and quirks before I begin our journey of knowing each other. I pay very close attention to each animals body language and move forwards based on that. Growing up I was extremely obsessed with my families dogs and cats. My first pet was a grey cockatiel bird that I rescued, shortly after I got my first yellow lab. Ever since, I have been very involved in taking care of many of my family or friends pets while they are away. I have taken care of extremely small puppies, fish, birds, bunnies, and cats, to nervous, and anxious big labs ! I heavily enjoy spending time next to a furry creature and I even have a bunny of my own named Diva. She has been a very long lesson in attention to attitude when it comes to handling an animal. I am more than available during the day or night to take care of any animal, I do not have a current job so I am free during awkward hours. I make sure to follow the directions my clients have left for me, I often ask more information on the personality of the animal so I understand our boundaries !

About: I have loved animals my whole life and have experience caring for pets of different kinds. Back in Ukraine, I have a cat named Kuzya who is still very dear to me and whom I miss every day. I was responsible for his daily care, feeding, cleaning the litter box, and making sure he felt safe and comfortable. Growing up, I also had a dog (a Jagdterrier), a parrot, and a hamster, so I understand the needs of both energetic and small pets. I am comfortable with walking dogs, playing with them, feeding, giving fresh water, and providing calm companionship for cats. Although I don’t currently have pets in the U.S., I truly miss being around animals. That’s one of the main reasons I joined Rover — I would love to spend time caring for pets and giving them attention, love, and reliable care while their owners are away. I am responsible, organized, patient, and I will always treat your pet as if they were my own. Due to my college schedule, I am available on Mondays and Wednesdays around midday. On Saturdays, I may have availability depending on the time. I am not available on Sundays. On Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, I may have availability with advance notice. I am flexible when scheduled ahead of time and always do my best to accommodate your pet’s need. Please feel free to message me to confirm availability. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully and make sure pets feel safe and comfortable. I securely attach leashes during walks, double-check doors, and never leave pets unattended. I respect your home and treat your pet with patience, care, and attention.

My background consists of: Attending workshops about animal behavior, fostering when needed and experience in grooming! I consider myself responsable and reliable. Caring for your pet is not only my job but also my favorite thing to do! A wise person once said, “Do what you love and you’ll never work a day in your life.” I work as a legal assistant full-time but can schedule services around your calendar during the holidays or special occasions. I am also usually free on weekends. I speak fluent spanish and love to take the time to explain my daily routine to our pet owners! Let us relieve you of that stress when it comes to your dog's wellbeing, while you can relax or get done what you need to get done. I'm big on taking pictures... so I'll send you cute pics of your pets!

About: I recently graduated from Northern Michigan University this past spring with a bachelors degree in Education. Before pursuing my career, I am taking time off to work and spend time with family. I am a lover of all animals, though I have the most experience with cats and dogs of all ages and sizes. Over the past 8 years, I have worked with several families for drop by visits and extended stays while they travel. I have a fur baby of my own, my cat Ringo, who I love very much. I have several references available for back ground check and to hear from prior families I have worked with for feedback if desired! I would love to work with you and your pets! I have a pretty open schedule! I work 1-2 shifts a week of retail for roughly 4 hours per shift. I can do overnights, extended stays, multiple visits per day, and so on. I’m flexible to your needs! When caretaking for you animal, I’ll be more than ready to follow your expectations. I have a list of references available from prior families I’ve worked with in the past that I am more than welcome to share with you. At any point, feel free to contact me via call or text if you have questions or concerns about the wellbeing of your animal.

About: I’ve spent the last 10 years caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and energy levels. I’m confident with everything from long walks and belly rubs to administering medication and providing calm support for senior dogs. My experience includes daily care, overnight stays, and handling multiple dogs at once. I tailor my approach to each pup’s needs. Whether it’s playtime, routine, or extra patience. They always feel safe and loved in my care. i work during the week but on the weekends i’m free as a bird. If you want me to just pop in everyday i can do that too! I want to cater to what you need. I care for pets in a calm, clean, and secure environment. Whether in my home or yours, I prioritize safety, routine, and comfort. Pets are never left unsupervised for long, and I follow all care instructions carefully. I treat every animal like family!

Chris was an exceptional dog walker. He was highly communicative, attentive, and went above and beyond to ensure Scar received excellent care. I especially appreciated that he provided updates after every walk, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. Chris was always respectful, kind, and professional, and I felt completely comfortable knowing Scar was in his care. I highly recommend his services and will definitely be booking with him again in the future!

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
