“we felt really comfortable leaving Erinwith our two kitties. They did a wonderful job. Will definitely book Erin again for the next time we go away.”

About: I’ve spent plenty of time around my neighbor’s dog walking, feeding, and cleaning up after him. I’m comfortable with strong pullers and I’m not fazed by mud, rain, or a dog who needs a minute to warm up to me. After every visit you’ll get a photo and a short recap: how the walk went, whether they ate, anything that seemed off. I’m new to Rover, so I’ll be upfront: no training certifications yet. What I do have is wide open availability, a phone I actually answer, and a free meet and greet before any first booking so you can see how your dog reacts to me first. I’m available throughout the week for walks and drop-ins, plus weekend mornings — Saturdays and Sundays before noon are always open. My part-time work schedule comes out on the weekend, so once I have it I update my Rover calendar and can tell you exactly which days I’m free for the week ahead. If you need something regular, message me and we’ll lock in the days that work. I care for pets in the client’s home, so my goal is to keep your dog’s normal routine intact and leave everything exactly as I found it. For walks: I confirm the leash and harness setup with you first, stick to the route and pace your dog is used to, keep them leashed the entire time, and always clean up. I bring water on warm days and check paws before we head back in. For drop-in visits: fresh water, food or treats exactly as you’ve instructed, potty break, and some play or company depending on what your dog likes. I’ll also do the small things bringing in mail, turning a light on if you ask. Either way, you’ll get a photo and a short recap after every visit, and I’ll text you right away if anything seems off. I follow your instructions on doors, locks, and keys exactly, and I don’t have anyone else with me on a booking.

“Kaitlyn took great care of our dogs so we could take a day trip altogether! Updated with photos and how it went in real time - appreciated it!”

About: I’m such a animal lover as I have animals myself! I enjoy spending time with my dog outside on walks and hikes and bringing her out to run around the yard! Most of my time spent is caring for animals as I help others out with their pets as well! I’m currently in school but I have a very open schedule! On weekends I’m available all day, and throughout the week I’m available early morning and late afternoon. I love spending time with my dog as well as meeting other animals and spending time with them as well. I will bring the animals on walks or even just to play around in the yard if asked for! I usually like to follow with what the owner asks of me for their animals walk.

About: I’m so excited to meet you and your furry friend! As a dedicated pet sitter, my goal is to make sure your dog feels loved, safe, and happy while you’re away. Whether it’s long walks, playful fetch sessions, or just cozy cuddle time, I’ll treat your pup as if they were my own. Every tail wag, happy bark, and joyful moment matters to me, and I can’t wait to give your dog the care and attention they deserve. Let’s make their time with me an experience full of fun and love! I board/walk on a FT basis, I have 12yrs of experience and I would love the chance to sit your pup when needed. Can’t wait to meet you. I treat each and every pet like their my own. I’m very passionate about my love for dogs and I’ve have many since a kid.

About: I’ve always taken care of pets and volunteered at local shelters. Your doggies will have the option of treats, dog walks, dog park trips, bark toys, and the option to socialize with other dogs if that is an option! What’s different with me is every dog that stays here with me and comes home with a brand new BARK BOX toy if the parent allows ! I’m currently a stay at home dad so this works perfectly with my schedule! With my wife working full time, this makes a household that much more at home! All of my dogs are trained and with the huge yard in our back yard it provides the perfect area for exercise and potty time! We also have a dog park right down the street!

About: I’ve had dogs since I was 12 yrs old there’s nothing I love more than taking care of dogs and making sure there happy and need everything they deserve, I’ve taken care from puppy to senior dogs. Til this day I make time for animals I have 4 days off out of the week and I would love to help out those who need genuine care for there dogs I always make sure my dogs are on a leash, making sure there’s no wild animals out in the yard before I take them out, if I’m walking your dog and I see another dog coming I put myself to the side holding the dog close enough in where the other dog don’t get near us.

About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve spent a lifetime caring for, loving, and raising dogs of my own, including a time when I had four dogs in my household! I understand that dogs aren’t just pets; they’re family. I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your furry family members when you can’t be there. My experience has taught me that every dog has their own unique personality, needs, and routines. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply having someone nearby to keep them company, I will provide loving, attentive, and dependable care. My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring hands. I currently work from home, which gives me the flexibility and time to provide your furry family member with plenty of attention, companionship, and loving care throughout the day. Until recently, I was fortunate enough to share my home with my sweet girl, a beautiful Doberman/Lab mix who was 12 years old. I was blessed to spend her final months by her side, giving her all the love and care she deserved before making the hardest decision of my life and saying goodbye. She was such a kind, gentle, and loving soul, and she reminded me every day just how special the bond between people and their dogs truly is. At my personal home I have a fenced in yard. I am also close to many public walking trails. I love to walk and hike.

About: Hi I’m Hailey! Growing up my family always had both cats and dogs so I’m very comfortable taking care of pets. I have years of experience with both dog and cat sitting for both short and long term stays. I love to be active and take dogs on walks around the neighborhood and can customize my schedule to fit their needs. I work part time and have a pretty flexible schedule. I can work based around you and your pet’s needs! Available weekdays as well as weekends. I have dog sat for both large and small dogs before and have no issue with tailoring to their needs. I have years of experience pet sitting for long term stays up to a month for dogs, cats, and chickens alike!

About: Hello pet parents! I find great fulfillment in caring for and nurturing your pets. Caring for pets also gives me a wonderful outlet to indulge my intense and immense love for dogs! While I might lack decades of experience working with our furry friends, I believe I more than make up for it with my enthusiasm for learning and affection for doggies! All I can promise is that you shall not regret working with me! I work from home remotely for my day job, which affords me plenty of spare time to spend with your fur babies! The nature of my job also enables me to take my furry friends out for a walk during working hours no problem. I am available for walks and drop in visits on all weekdays; for your dog boarding or house sitting needs, I am available seven days a week. I have a family member living with me who is retired and stays home full time, so there will be at least one responsible adult looking after your precious pet(s) at all times!

About: With 15+ years of experience as a certified veterinary technician and personal pets, I am an ideal candidate to care for your pets. At home, I’ve had dogs, cats, birds, and horses for my entire life. Over the last three years, I’ve cared for three senior dogs who required an array of medications. My 15 years experience as a veterinary technician has helped me to develop an eye for detail when it comes to your pets needs and health. Currently, I am taking a break from veterinary medicine. I would like to begin my own dog walking/daycare/pet and house sitting business in order to support my family. This will become a full-time job for me with an open schedule at this point. Dog walking and check in’s (to potty and play) will be Monday to Saturday 7am to 7pm. As I cultivate a client base and access the needs of those clients, my hours will develop to accommodate those needs. At my house, we have a fenced in yard that is approximately half an acre. The fence is 7 feet high in all places. There is a kiddie pool and digging area. Inside is an open concept to roam. Currently, all of my dogs are very friendly couch potatoes. If needed, they could be separated (into their favorite spot, my bedroom!) to accommodate your pets needs. As for walking, I will adhere to all rules provided by you, the owner. I’m open to walking neighborhoods or taking your dogs out on the local trails. I will work side by side on manners and behavior with the owners.

About: I have always had a pet dog and ever since I was a teenager, I’d dog-sit for family and neighbors. Since college, I’ve been pet-sitting ajd dog walking on a more professional level. I’ve babysat for a few hours, simply for a walk, but have also watched multiple high energy dogs for up to two weeks. I’ve cared for dogs under a year old and up to 13 years old. I’ve always loved dogs and find them very easy to get along with and care for no matter their size, age, or personality. I have also cared for kittens a few weeks old, senior cats, administering medication orally, grooming them if they have long hair etc. Cats have a very different energy than dogs but I enjoy taking care of them just as much as dogs. I am currently in between jobs so I have a lot of free time to care for other dogs, whether it is a short walk or a multi-hour play date, etc. I always follow whatever guidance I am provided by pet parents. This means if you are only comfortable with your dog on a leash or lead while in your yard, I strictly follow that. If there are specific commands to use, certain behavior to watch out for or discourage, particular toys or activities they enjoy, I always follow what information I am given and am always open and communicate well about any issues or concerns that might arise on my end.

“Wonderful visit and walk. My pet seemed very happy and he was very accommodating to book last minute. My pet instantly liked him, like he has a way with pets.”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of care, consistency, and attention I give to every pet. I don’t just stop in to complete tasks—I take the time to understand each animal’s personality, routine, and comfort level so they feel safe and relaxed while you’re away. I have experience with a variety of needs, including puppy care and basic training reinforcement. I can help maintain potty schedules, crate training, and simple commands, keeping things consistent so your puppy continues learning even when you’re not home. I’m also very comfortable with senior pet care, providing a slower, more attentive approach. I pay close attention to mobility, behavior, and any special routines to make sure older pets stay comfortable and stress-free. In addition, I’m detail-oriented and reliable. I carefully follow feeding schedules, instructions, and any special care requirements, and I always make sure your home and your pet’s space stay clean and well-maintained. Above all, I treat every pet like they’re my own—giving them patience, attention, and genuine care rather than just supervision. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I plan my schedule around visits to ensure pets are fed, exercised, and given attention at consistent times. I’m reliable, flexible, and able to accommodate morning, afternoon on weekends and can provide full evening care, making sure each pet gets the time and consistency they need. For safety and trust, I always follow owner instructions carefully, keep environments clean and secure, and pay close attention to any changes in behavior or health. I treat every home with respect and make sure pets are always in a safe, comfortable environment. tailor my care based on each pet’s routine and the specific service requested, whether it’s drop-in visits, walks, or extended stays. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping everything as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow feeding schedules, provide fresh water, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I’m also attentive to litter box or yard cleanup, administering medications if needed, and maintaining a clean, safe environment. I respect your home, keep things tidy, and always make sure doors, gates, and pets are secure before leaving. No matter the setting, my goal is to provide consistent, reliable care so your pet feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: Patience. I understand every fur baby has a personality. I will take the time to get to know them. I will communicate with fur parents to understand their care needs. I can be very flexible. We can work together to meet the needs of the parents and fur babies. Multiple visits in a day are available. Walks, feeding and limited grooming available. I am a fur parent of 4 grown dogs, spanning 3 generations. Every fur baby has a personality. Mine like to cuddle and watch movies and I can’t wait to learn about your babies personalities!

“Great communication! Our pups were excited for her visits.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10. I’m currently a veterinary technician and able to give any medications your pet may need while you’re away:) Whether it’s letting them out, going for walks, playing, bathing, feeding, or simply keeping them company while you’re away, I’m the one for all your dog needs. Along with dogs I’ve also cared for many different animals from ones you find on a farm to some with scales and will be sure to provide the best care for all and treat them as my own<3 I work full time at a vet hospital as a vet tech student but would have plenty of time to spend with your pets after work and am able to take them to work with me! Available to spend all night with your pets and able to take them on adventures. While you’re away I’ll be sure to keep their tails wagging! I love taking dogs with me on my hikes, when you book with me I’ll be sure to send lots of pictures updating you on all our adventures of the day!! If your pets require extra attention at home I will be sure to give them all the love and care they need.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was little. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets. I have experience with larger breeds like Pit Bulls and Cane Corsos as well as smaller dogs like Yorkies and Mini Poodles, and I’m comfortable adjusting my care style to fit each dog’s personality and needs. As a student working part-time, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to fit pet care seamlessly into my routine. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting on weekends and weekdays. I provide care in your home to keep your pets comfortable in their familiar space. I’m attentive, respectful of your home, and make sure to follow your pets’ routines closely so they feel safe and well cared for while you’re away.

“We live in Hardwick.Mandy took excellent care of both of my cats. One of my cats has a chronic illness which required that Mandy give him an injection. She has previous vet tech experience so that was no problem at all. Mandy sent me an update with pictures of both cats. She even came to our house before our trip to meet the cats. We would highly recommend her.”
