“We hired Josh for some dog walking. He was very good at calming down our high energy dogs to put leashes on, arrived on time, and gave full 30 minute walks. He also followed some strict rules about our gate unfailingly.”
About: I’m a professional pet sitter and Fear Free Certified. I’ve worked with pets of all ages, including seniors, reactive dogs, and those needing medication support. I’m trained in giving injections, oral medications and inhalers, and I also have rabbit care training and experience with small pets. I limit Rover bookings to ensure each pet receives attentive, personalized care. My goal is to provide low-stress, high-quality experiences rooted in patience, trust, and compassion. For overnight stays, I arrive between 6–8 PM and stay 12 hours to cover the evening, night, and morning routines. I also offer one 30-minute mid-day drop-in visit or walk upon request for overnight clients. For standalone drop-in visits or dog walks, I have more flexibility throughout the day and will do my best to accommodate preferred timing. For boarding in my home, I work from home but do come and go during the day for pet visits and meetings. I only accept dogs on a case-by-case basis because I have five cats. If accepted, we’ll keep their routine as consistent as possible, providing daily enrichment, affection, and supervision. I follow Fear Free principles to provide a safe, calm environment where pets can thrive. I avoid using or supporting tools that increase fear, anxiety, or stress — such as shock collars or electric fencing. In your home, I follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible while maintaining a peaceful, respectful environment. In my home, we only board dogs on a case-by-case basis due to having five cats, and I supervise all interactions carefully. Your pet’s emotional well-being and safety are always my top priorities.
“Megan did a good job with my dog. Megan came on time for each walk and although Bella was hesitant, at first, to go with someone she didn’t know, it didn’t take long for her to feel comfortable with Megan.”
About: I've been pet sitting for 11 years and have tons of references from my own pet sitting business. Services I provide include feeding, walking, spending time with them, and administering medication. I LOVE animals and nothing makes me happier than to be able to work them. :) I'm a U of M graduate and recently lost my full time job due to funding-no fault of my own. I have been a pet sitter for eleven years and am currently looking to expand my clientele. I have tons of references from my personal pet sitting business and would love to take care of your pets. For overnight stay, I always follow the directions provided by my clients. If I'm providing care throughout the day and overnight, I feed breakfast and dinner/let them out for potty, check on them one or two more times per day, and then spend the night.
About: I’ve been caring for animals most of my life — my childhood dog was with me from age 7 until she was 20 years old, so I have firsthand experience with every stage of a dog’s life, including senior care. During COVID, I fostered a dog and loved helping her feel safe and happy until she found her forever home. I adore both dogs and cats, and have cared for many breeds, sizes, and personalities over the years. My family currently has two German Shepherds and a cat, so I’m used to handling both high-energy pups and independent felines. I’m currently in between jobs after an incredible round-the-world sabbatical, which means I have plenty of free time to focus on caring for your pets. Whether it’s long walks, cozy snuggles, or keeping them company during the day, I can be there when they need me. I’m also available for overnight stays so they feel safe and loved while you’re away. Your pet’s safety comes first. I follow your instructions closely, use secure leashes and harnesses, and keep a watchful eye on them at all times. I avoid unsafe areas or interactions, make sure they have fresh water, and watch for any signs of stress. If anything seems off, I’ll update you right away so you can feel at ease while you’re
