About: Hello! My name is Eileen! I’ve been a pet mom for over 10 years I have a 6 year old baby girl named Angel and a 2 year old baby boy sir buttons. I’ve worked with animals for over 20 years. I’ve dog sat and walked dogs for friends and family over the years. I’ve loved animals all my life I wanted to be a vet since I was a child but life had other plans, so this is the closest i can get to loving on animals‼️ In my spare time I would love to take the time to spend time nurturing and taking care of pets. Send me requests and if I have the time I will enjoy being of great help. When in my care I will feed, nurture and love on your furry family members as if they are my own. No job is too big or too small
About: I’ve dog sat for family members many times before, and live with a dog and cat, both of which I am primary caretaker for. I commonly walk my dog around the neighborhood and have walked other family members’ dogs as well. I also spent 4 years working at a zoo, and interacted with wild and dangerous animals on a daily basis. This work has afforded me skills like animal care and awareness of an animals comfort with me in their space. I do not currently have a job outside of Rover, so I’m free to walk dogs basically whenever! I prefer to walk dogs in the morning or afternoon, but regardless I am available at any time of day, weekdays and weekends. I care for pets in my home all the time, I have both a dog and a cat, so I am often working to ensure the safety of my home for both of them. My house is cat and dog proofed and I am almost constantly monitoring my own pets for health and safety issues.
“Chaela was great with my two dogs. Extremely punctual and went above and beyond to make them have a great walk and feel comfortable when I was out of town. Will be rebooking!”
About: NOTE: BASED OUT OF BURLINGTON, VT FOR THE COLLEGE SEASON I’ve owned and cared for dogs, cats, and everything in-between for as long as I can remember. From pit-bulls to terriers, handicapped chickens to one eyed kittens and animals with at least 8 legs, i’ve seen it all. Apart from caring for my own dogs, cats, and other pets over the years, I did freelance petsitting and dog walking in and around my neighborhood for around seven years, ranging from dog walks while the owner was at work, to late night cat feedings and prescription medication administration, to trying to give a rabbit a bath. I have a high level of experience caring for both puppies/kittens and elderly dogs and cats, having worked to foster puppies and kittens with my local ASPCA for nearly a decade as well as helped raise and train one of my family dogs, and care for my elderly, disabled dog in her later years. I also have background training with the ASPCA regarding animal safety (specifically reactive or defensive dogs) and basic dog and cat body language, crucial aspects of keeping everyone involved healthy and happy! I’m currently a college student home for the summer- my schedule is very open and very flexible, depending on the individual needs of the animal. I can match whatever level of energy your pet needs within the home- whether it be constant cuddles and attention, hours of playtime, or just an omniscient hand filling the food bowl and grabbing the leash! I’m comfortable administering oral or topical medications, able to control and crate dogs if the need arises, and (i’d like to think) i’ve learned some pretty good strategies to stop unwanted barking late at night over the years. I value the mental and physical comfort of the animal i’m caring for first and foremost, whether that means hands on attention or a more quiet, calm approach to time spent with your pet. I’m willing to care for and spend time with shy or reactive dogs as long as they’re within my size range. Having owned both a very senile, timid dog and a very reactive, defensive dog, it’s important to me that they receive the amount of care and attention in the home they deserve :)
“Shynia and Bella bonded instantly. Shynia's soft spoken voice, reliability, mannerisms, consistency, and attention to details throughout the entire dogwalk schedule was a blessing. It is with great pleasure that I recommend Shynia for dog walks or any of you pet needs. I have been consistently impressed by Shynia's positive attitude, feedbacks (Rover card updates and verbal updates), and most of all Bella's happiness and comfort when she is with Shynia.”
“Ivan came over for a meet and greet with my dog, who liked him immediately. He picked up the dog at the scheduled time and took him on an hour walk. When I got home the dog was back in his crate and very content. Thank you Ivan!”
About: I’m a lifelong dog lover who’s grown up with three or more pups at a time, so caring for multiple dogs—whether playful, shy, energetic, or timid—is something I thoroughly enjoy. I have experience with dogs of all ages and special needs, including senior, blind, deaf, and diabetic dogs. I’m comfortable feeding, bathing, walking, and providing each dog with the individual love, patience, and attention they deserve. Since I work part-time, I have plenty of time to hang out with pets during the day and throughout the week. I’m happy to walk dogs, feed and snuggle cats, and care for other pets however they need. I make sure every pet gets the attention and love they deserve, and I’m flexible about fitting their care around your schedule. I have a fenced-in yard where pets can safely play and explore, plus a quiet, walkable neighborhood perfect for walks. At home, I have three friendly dogs who visit occasionally, and two guinea pigs I care for daily, so I’m comfortable with a variety of animals. Whether in my home or yours, I prioritize safety and comfort to make sure every pet feels secure and happy.
About: I’ve been around pets most of my life and have a deep understanding of their needs, body language, and personalities. I offer calm, attentive care tailored to each pet, whether it’s a playful puppy learning the basics or a senior pet needing extra patience, meds, or gentle walks. I’m experienced with basic training, crate routines, senior care, and making shy or anxious pets feel safe and comfortable. I treat every animal like family, with love, respect, and a focus on their well-being and happiness. Pet care fits naturally into my life right now. After going through cancer last year, I’m focused on healing and creating a life filled with joy and purpose. I’m currently not working a traditional job, so I have plenty of time, flexibility, and energy to dedicate to pets. Spending time with animals brings me peace, and I’d be honored to be a loving, dependable presence for your pet while you’re away. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I create a calm, safe, and loving environment where animals can relax and feel secure. I respect each pet’s routine and preferences, and I always follow your instructions closely whether it’s about food, walks, medications, or cuddle limits! In your home, I treat the space with care and keep things clean and consistent so your pet stays comfortable. If I’m caring for pets in my home, they’ll have a peaceful, pet-friendly space with plenty of love, supervision, and attention. Safety and trust are everything to me and so is making sure your pet feels right at home, wherever they are.

“Alyssa started taking care of animals at a very young age. They began with raising praying mantises, then ferrets and during high school worked at the zoo as part of their duties. There they cared for a variety of animals, preparing their food and medication and ensuring they received the proper enrichment. Now at home the same care and attention to detail is being used to help care for our Bichon/ Shih tzu, Cleopatra. Alyssa takes her on regular walks, feeds and combs/brushes her to keep the knots away. Alyssa is very reliable and trustworthy and Cleo reminds us of it daily.”
