About: What sets me apart in pet care is my hands-on experience working in a veterinary clinic, where I am trained to recognize early signs of illness, stress, and behavioral changes. I am comfortable administering medications, following detailed care instructions, and maintaining a clean, safe environment for pets of all ages and temperaments. My clinical background allows me to provide not only attentive and loving care, but also an added level of knowledge and preparedness that gives pet owners true peace of mind I have lots of free time to care for , take walk ,feed ,clean up after your fur baby’s and to make sure your furry friends get the best care possible ❤️ Creating a safe and trusting environment is my top priority when pet sitting. I maintain consistent routines to help pets feel secure and reduce stress, while ensuring their space remains clean, hazard-free, and comfortable. I take time to build trust at each pet’s pace, using calm, patient interactions and positive reinforcement. With my experience in a veterinary clinic, I am attentive to both physical and behavioral changes, allowing me to respond quickly and appropriately if concerns arise. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, respected, and cared for as if they were mine
About: I’ve always been an animal lover and genuinely enjoy having pets around. I know how much our pets mean to us and how hard it can be to leave them when we’re away, so I want them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. I’m happy to help with walks, feeding, playtime, cuddles, and sticking to your pet’s normal routine. I’m also comfortable giving extra attention to pets who are shy, anxious, or need a little time to warm up. My goal is simple: to care for your pet the way I’d want someone to care for mine, with patience, love, and lots of attention. 🐾❤️ I’m currently in midwifery school and have found that my schedule doesn’t allow for full nursing shifts anymore! I love walking and I love animals so I having the opportunity to offer an 30-60 minutes of love to someone’s dog is so special for me! I currently offer pet care exclusively in your home, because I think pets are happiest and most comfortable in their own space and routine. I’ll follow your instructions closely and make sure your pets get plenty of attention, playtime, walks, meals, and cuddles while you’re away. I’ll treat your home and your pets with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re gone.
About: I’ve always had dogs in my life and I love them oh so dearly! I’ve stayed in homes of family friend dog owners for a few years now, mostly just taking care of the dogs and going on walks, as well as watering plants when needed. I’m not much of a cat person, I didn’t grow up with cats but I can do what is needed of me. I work part time, around 25 hours a week so I’ll have plenty of time to hang out with your babies and make sure they are well taken care of. I will care for your baby in your own home where they have all their favorite toys and comfort spots. I will take them for walks and give them all the snuggles they need!
About: Being raised on a small farm, there have always been cats & dogs around to share in the ups & downs of life. I love leaning into each individual's personality and working with positive reenforcement to catch the animals doing good behavior! I have experience training/working with dogs of all ages. Sometimes our furry friends need extra care. I am experienced in oral medicine administration, wound care, ear & eye treatments (if need be)! I am available for pet care on a daily basis. I care for my cats & dog daily. If ever I need backup support, I have a network of folks willing to lend a hand. When pet sitting, I follow the instructions given by the owner regarding when to feed, how much food, how often they need to go outside. Beyond that, I typically tidy up the space every evening, sweeping/vacuuming, refreshing waters, etc. I try to develop a routine so that the animals know what to expect and can relax into a sense of order. I generally find ways that each animal likes to play and find games that are fun and rewarding.
About: I use to work at a doggy daycare and took care of 15-20 dogs at a time. We also provided boarding services so I was in charge of daily walks, playtime, cleanup and food schedules. I was able to care for a variety of dogs with different needs As a single mom working part-time, pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. My flexible schedule allows me to balance quality time with my child and the pets I care for, creating a loving and nurturing environment for everyone. While my child is at school or during my free hours, I dedicate focused attention to walking, playing, feeding, and ensuring the well-being of the pets in my care When caring for pets in a client’s home, safety, trust, and a nurturing environment are my top priorities. I treat every home and pet with the utmost respect, ensuring their routines, spaces, and boundaries are maintained. From securing doors and gates to adhering to feeding and exercise schedules, I prioritize safety and reliability in every task. Building trust with both pets and their owners is essential. I take the time to understand each pet’s unique personality and needs, providing attentive, loving care that mirrors their owner’s approach. Open communication is key—I keep clients informed with updates and photos, so they always feel connected and reassured. Most importantly, I create a stress-free and comforting environment for pets, ensuring they feel safe and happy while their owners are away. Whether it’s extra cuddles, playtime, or simply being a calm presence, I’m dedicated to making every visit a positive experience for both pets and their families

About: I’ve been passionate about animals since childhood and have over 20 years of experience caring for dogs. Throughout my life, I’ve also cared for a variety of other animals, including cats, small mammals, reptiles, and birds. I’ve personally raised and cared for many different dog breeds, including Pomeranians, Maltese, Poodles, Shiba Inus, Retrievers, Shepherds, and mixed breeds. I’m familiar with different personalities, energy levels, and care needs, from playful puppies to senior dogs. When I had pets of my own, I also entrusted them to pet sitters, so I understand firsthand how important it is to find someone reliable, caring, and attentive. I know how much trust it takes to leave your beloved companion in someone else’s care. I genuinely love spending time with animals and treat every pet with patience, kindness, and respect. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away, and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I provide attentive, personalized care in a clean, comfortable apartment with no other pets. My community has convenient outdoor areas and lovely walking paths for exercise and potty breaks. I'll also send you photo updates throughout the day so you can have peace of mind!

About: I have dogsat for my grandparents numerous times, sometimes up to two weeks before. I’ve had pets my entire life and know how to walk, care and feed them! Pet care fits in my schedule because I care full time for my own cat, who is a Manx breed. He is pretty high energy and is very active, so I’m always giving him attention and caring daily for his needs. I care for my pets at home by making sure they’re fed and watered regularly, and taken outside regularly, as well as giving them attention.

About: Pets are my passion, I’m here to share my knowledge and experience to help you and your loved one(s). I’ve cared for more than dogs, cats, and rabbits. I’m happy to look after reptiles, birds and small animals as well. In addition to basic pet sitting needs, I’m also experienced with behavioral training, puppy basics, grooming and medicating. All animal care plans will be thoroughly created at meet and greet, I will not deviate from the plan so please include things like ~ how many treats per day, are any people foods ok to share (carrots, yogurt etc), the song we play in the morning to get out of bed - sometimes small requests seem silly but it’s part of your daily life and I understand how matching a routine makes your pet more comfortable. Please feel free to bring these up as well so they can be included. I’m openly available Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday with options for drop ins or walks throughout the rest of the week in the mornings or evenings. All of your house rules will be respected and followed of course. If your pup isn’t allowed on the sofa, we can snuggle on the floor. Do you have a super stealthy door - dashing cat? I currently live with one and know how important it is to closely monitor where the cat is when you’re going through the door.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Gaston. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins.

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
walkers on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
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.
