About: I’ve owned dogs that I have actively taken care of for years now! Raising my own boxer puppy and helping out family and friends by dog sitting and taking care of dog their dogs for them! I’m currently a freshman at UB! My classes are pretty short and spread out throughout the day! I would have ample time to check on your dog multiple times day! I am also available almost every weekend! I can actively take your dog out, play with it, take it for walks! Whatever is needed to make sure your dog is in a good environment!
About: I’ve been pet sitting for about 10 years and have experience with all kinds of pets, from large dogs like German Shepherds to small terriers, cats, kittens, and even fish. I’ve cared for energetic, shy, and senior pets, including those with specific diets or unique needs. I’m very adaptable, patient, and genuinely love animals, so I’ll always make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m a college student, so my schedule is pretty consistent during the week. My busiest days are Tuesdays (8 AM–4 PM) and Wednesdays (10 AM–4 PM). On Mondays and Fridays, I’m only away from 10 AM–2 PM, and Thursdays I’m gone just from 11 AM–12 PM. Outside of classes, I’m very flexible and able to give pets plenty of attention, walks, and care. I also work part-time at a country club, but it’s currently the off-season, so my schedule is mostly focused on school. In my home, pets are treated like family. I have two friendly pets of my own, so I’m very used to maintaining a safe, clean, and comfortable environment. I always make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and stick to their usual routines. In a client’s home, I carefully follow all instructions and make it a priority to understand each pet’s specific needs, habits, and personality. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, walks, litter box or potty routines, and any special care instructions. If I’m ever unsure about something, I always ask to make sure I’m doing exactly what’s best for your pet. I’m very patient, reliable, and detail-oriented, and I truly care about making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.

About: Hi, my name is Vicky! In 2017 I graduated with a degree in animal sciences from OSU where I volunteered in the ICU and have many years of experience in dog walking and training. Previously, I have worked for family and friends but now I’m looking to expand and work with more owners and their pups! Right now I’m available most week days and weekends to walk or watch your your pet, along with taking care of my own furry babies. At home I have two rescues - a 9 year old Catahoula Leopard Dog named Telly and a 12 year old kitty that runs the house. In my free time I enjoy taking Telly swimming and going backpacking around the country. I’m excited to start working with Rover and am looking forward to meeting your dog! I’m currently working from home and have flexibility in my schedule as needed. Although I have listed my availability, please reach out if your needs are outside of the provided timeframes and I will check if I have flexibility in my schedule. I am always very aware of pet safety and boundaries. As my own dog had issues counter surfing when she was first adopted, I am very conscientious of keeping food and important items out of reach of needed.

About: I’ve always been a dog lover! My fur baby passed when I was 12 so I TRULY know how important all furbabies are. I promise to treat yours with the most care and love as I once did with my own☺️ I have been dog sitting for friends and family member for the past 4 years. I have been successful with teaching some of my past clients simple tricks like sit and shake not because I have been asked but because I just truly like it☺️ I currently work 3 days out of the week as a nanny. Those 3 days I work 8 hour shifts which I completely understand is a lot but with past clients I always make sure that the other days out of the week (that I don’t work) your furbaby will enjoy long walks, car drives, mabey even a little puppychino treat😊 With past clients I’ve always provided pictures for them especially if I take them on little field trips to the dog park or just for a drive☺️
About: With our goofy boy, your dog will have plenty of exercise and playtime. We have a spacious home and flexible schedule for pet care. I work various hours and my partner works from home. We have a yard for the dogs and separate basement area for boarding comfortably (or to keep our cat away from non-friendly dogs). We enjoy the dog park with your permission and spend a lot of time outside during the warm months. Our dog is young and energetic so playtime lasts for hours unless your dog prefers a nap, he will snuggle up or be separated. Potty breaks are often during the day in our yard. The dogs are rarely left home for more than a few hours. We have crates for our dogs, special areas for our cat to stay safe, and a basement for boarding other dogs comfortably. Our goal is to give our clients a better experience than if they were in a crated boarding facility all day.
About: I’ve had pets most of my life, I love animals and being outdoors. I’ve also rescued a few animals and have taken care of my friends and family’s pets before. I have a open schedule so wether it’s just checking or going for walks you can be sure your pet will revive the same care as my own. In general I keep them safe especially when it comes to my friends or clients. I make sure they are feed, watered, exercised, played with and most importantly they are loved.
About: I've taken care of dogs my whole life. My family has always assigned me daily dog chores, such as taking them for walks, feeding them, playing with them, ensuring they sleep well, and giving them baths I'm currently working part-time, so I can adjust my schedule to care for your pups. I’m usually available on weekends or during the afternoons on weekdays I don't have a fenced yard, but my apartment complex has a dog trail and a small lake nearby. It's a great spot for your dog to relax by the water, enjoy a walk along the trail, or play with other dogs
“Kalyna, did an amazing job with bishop while I was away for the holidays. She is reliable and great with dogs. If you haven’t booked her yet. You need to stop thinking and BOOK HER NOW!!”


“Jordan is the best - so flexible & communicative. We always feel (slightly) less guilty leaving our baby with her knowing that he’s totally obsessed with her. 12/10 would recommend.”

“Rebecca is absolutely fantastic. She is incredibly attentive, thoughtful, and honestly the best dog walker/sitter we have ever had by a wide margin. Her experience and love of animals makes her extremely adaptable, down to the smallest details. Most of all I know that our pups feel loved and safe with her. I cannot recommend her highly enough.”

“Thank you for the summary! I am glad the kids had fun. I should have warned you that King loves to sit on your lap and lick your face. Thank you for checking their water level. The tank twists off but it's hard to refill if there is water in it.”

“Maryline was wonderful with Lucy and Lucy took to her immediately. She showed up on time and gave her a nice long walk. Very happy to have her come back again when we need her. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog walker.”

About: I've taken care of my own dog and cats for over 10 years, as well as others' fur babies. My love for animals makes this a job that I actually enjoy and feel passionate about. Your pets will be safe and happy with me. I am stepping down to part time at my current job so that I can make more time for sitting/walking! My schedule will therefore be much more flexible. Whether your yard is fenced in or not, I will cautiously watch your fur baby and make sure they are safe at all times (doors closed/locked, leashed when walking, etc.)
About: For the past five years, I have cared for both cats and dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies and kittens to mellow seniors who just want company. I have experience with overnight stays, feeding routines, playtime, walks, and transportation, so your pet is in capable hands no matter the situation. I’m attentive, patient, and genuinely love getting to know each animal’s personality. And yes, big dogs have a special place in my heart. The bigger the better. I currently work part time at a coffee shop and have a flexible schedule. I’m able to adjust my availability as needed and can reliably support your furry friend wherever I’m most needed. I tailor my care to each pet’s needs in their own home environment. With five years of hands on experience, I provide attentive feeding, playtime, walks, medication support when needed, and plenty of affection. I’m experienced with transportation and overnight stays, always prioritizing safety, routine, and comfort. My goal is to keep your pet happy, secure, and thriving while you’re away, so you can return to a relaxed pet and a wagging tail.
