“We’ve had an excellent experience with Farrin! She has been walking our 7-month-old German Shepherd puppy, who is full of energy and still learning, and she handled her with such patience, care, and professionalism. We feel completely confident leaving our puppy in her care and really appreciate the reliability and communication as well. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dedicated dog walker!”

I am comfortable with any breed of either cat or dog. I have had my pup, and two in the past, since they were able to be separated from their moms (8 weeks). So I am very comfortable with puppies!

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I have several years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I grew up with a black lab, a beagle, and a grey tabby cat, so caring for pets has always come naturally to me. I’ve worked as a boarding manager and at a structured dog daycare focused on creating calm, positive environments for dogs. This gave me experience reading dog body language and understanding different personalities, from high-energy pups to shy or anxious pets. I also volunteer at a local rescue, which has helped me build patience and trust with animals who need a little extra care, including senior or nervous pets. I’m confident handling multiple dogs, maintaining routines, and making sure each pet feels safe and comfortable. As a pet owner myself, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else. I always make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I provide regular updates and photos, and I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own. ✍️Quick Highlights • Experience with cats & dogs of all ages and temperaments • Former boarding manager and dog daycare worker • Comfortable with shy, anxious, senior, and high-energy pets • Able to reinforce basic training • Work from home with a flexible schedule • Frequent updates and photos 🐶💕Care Style & Training I treat every pet like they’re my own and focus on keeping their routine calm and consistent.

About: I have been dog sitting since I have been 15! I have two of my own and I would love to help out care for you dogs whenever you’re not able to! I work for myself so my schedule is very flexible and allows me to hang out with my doggies and your pets whenever is more convenient for you! I have a fenced in yard with plenty of space for your pet to play, be safe and enjoy some outside time while being away from home.

“Lindsay was awesome. We used her for a midday dog walk, and our dog loved her! Her communication was wonderful. We will absolutely use Lindsay again soon!”

About: Originally from the East Coast where I've worked professionally with animals since 2018. I spent a year working under a 30+ year experienced & certified dog behaviorialist and trainer before getting certified myself. I then ran my own dog training and pet sitting business out of Connecticut. Now I'm starting fresh here in the Midwest and would LOVE to care for your furbabies :) My schedule is now open and I am free of any conflicts to give your animals the care and attention they need. My weekly routine revolves around what my clients need from me. I follow written and verbal instructions given by owners to the T. Back home I was well known for taking lots of photos and videos of my clients pets to send while they were away and I always followed my own personal policy of leaving a clients home cleaner than when I arrived.

About: I am an avid lover of all creatures big and small. I have had farm animals, cats, dogs, exotic and small critters my whole life. I have experience with grooming, nail trims, giving medication. I worked in animal welfare for several years and have training on animal handling, animal safety, and have handled professional experience with animals from pit bulls (love them!) to newborn mice. Currently, I own cats, a dog, ferrets, and birds. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I make sure the animals I’m watching receive plenty of time, attention, and structure throughout the day. I plan my schedule so that pets receive regular potty breaks, walks, feeding times, and play or enrichment activities. Because I prioritize keeping pets on their normal routines, I try to match their usual schedule as closely as possible. This helps reduce stress and keeps them comfortable while their owners are away. My experience working at a humane society also means I’m used to building my day around animal care—monitoring behavior, providing exercise and enrichment, and making sure each pet’s individual needs are met. Whether it’s energetic playtime for active dogs or calm companionship for more relaxed pets, I make sure they get consistent attention and care. I have a very flexible work from home job so I am available any time, any day of the week. I'm also available typically at short notice. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets in a client’s home. I always start by learning the pet’s routine and any specific instructions so I can keep things as consistent and stress-free as possible. With my background working at a humane society, I’m very comfortable reading animal body language and handling dogs with different temperaments, including reactive, anxious, or shy dogs. I take things at the pet’s pace, respect their boundaries, and use calm, positive interactions to help them feel safe. During walks and outdoor time, I stay alert to the environment and avoid situations that could cause stress or unsafe interactions with other dogs or people. I’m especially mindful with reactive dogs and large breeds, and I prioritize controlled, safe handling at all times. In a client’s home, I treat the space with respect and make sure pets stay secure, comfortable, and on their usual routine. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while they’re away. Due to my dog's own fearful reactivity, I will not provide in-home services.

About: I’ve been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember. I’m patient and love to go on walks as much as possible. Available on weekends and some evenings. I may be available for walks and check ins during the week so long as I have a notice. Animals in my home are loved and cared for. They will stay busy and entertained but also have plenty of time to relax and be comfortable.

About: About Me: A fun fact about me is that I’m a twin! My sister and I both have profiles here on Rover and we are very experienced with pet care! I have been doing Rover since 2022, and have build longstanding relationships with some of my regular clients! I am 24 years old, and I’ve grown up around animals my whole life. I grew up with 4 labs, two of them are still living in Oregon with my parents, and I just recently got a golden retriever. I graduated from Orange Coast College in 2021 with my associates degree, and I’m looking to attend a university here in Nebraska! Pet Experience: As I said above I grew up around dogs and cats, that being said I don’t mind cleaning up messes! I took a vet science class in high school where I got to help work with some of the guide dogs for the blind puppies. In this class I learned how to trim nails, bathe, clean ears, clean cages and even work with chinchillas. I also showed steers and raised a chicken for ffa! I know how to take care of senior dogs that may need assistance, and give medicine to them as well, including injections! Extra information: I work full time in LaVista usually from 5am-1:30pm, and live in Bellevue, I have a 15 mile radius for Dogsitting due to my work hours. I also have a golden retriever service dog that’s over a year old! My boyfriend is in the military, and he helps sometimes with the pets that I housesit for if it is okay with the clients! My daily and weekly routine consists of me being at home with my puppy, and going to work. I enjoy being constantly surrounded by animals. I like to receive a detailed list of instructions for each clients furry friends, and stick to the schedule they have them on with slight adjustments to my work schedule. I unfortunately am not offering daycare or in home Dogsitting at them time.

About: I have a 1.5 yr old Belgian Malinois named Alfred! I have also watched the lovely pets of friends and family, many times who love having me back. I love serving other pet owners and giving them the time off they need from full-time doggy parenting! Never worry about your puppies when they're with me. <3 During the week, I am free to walk or drop in at all hours, 6AM-10PM. Flexible weekends. I take care of my own puppy everyday, of course but he is very independent and can be left alone long enough for me to get the job done :) My puppy loves being outside and spends the most time, if not the whole day there, and he has tons of space to run around. I stay respectful of other people's spaces and routines, if your doggy stops by for a day, there is plenty of space to run around, and they can but don't have to interact with my Belgian.

“Taylor was personable and confident. I felt comfortable leaving her with our dogs!”
