About: I'm a nurse, so, I typically work 3 days a week and have the other 4 off which makes for a lot of availability and flexibility to help walk or watch your fur baby! I have a dog named Butch, he was a stray from Puerto Rico that was basically feral when I got him. I successfully domesticated and trained him and he's turned into the sweetest, chill dog ever! Butch has skin issues and separation anxiety, so, I also have experience in administering oral and injectable medications. I'd be happy to use whatever commands and training techniques you use with your pet as well. I typically work three 12hr shifts a week and they are usually week days so I am frequently available Thursday-Sunday for long weekends to watch or walk your dog and some weeks I'm available a day or two earlier in the week. I have a lot of flexibility and availability for the weekends and toward the end of the week though! I have a 6ft privacy fence in the backyard, my neighborhood is very walkable with sidewalks, and a sweet dog named Butch who is about 6 who will easily and quickly become friends with your fur baby. Pets are allowed on furniture and beds in my home but I am willing to crate yours if that is what you prefer!

About: I have loved dogs for all my life and have never been without one! I have more than 10 years of experience including pet sitting, dog walking, pet grooming, and volunteering at animal shelters. Although I’ve had several fur babies throughout the years, I currently have a 9 year old male chocolate labrador that lives with my husband and I. He is my favorite thing in the entire world! I am a local travel nurse and love to rover whenever I am not working in the hospital! I have experience with young, old, and special needs cats and dogs, including the visibly/audibly impaired, and experience with giving medications. I am available throughout the week (depending on my schedule) to come by your home to feed, play with, and care for your dog, as well as take them for walks throughout the day. I will treat your loved ones the same as I treat my own, with love, patience, compassion, and understanding! ❤️ As a travel nurse my work schedule changes everything 3-9 months, but is usually three twelve hour shifts per week. My availability will be dependent on my hospital schedule. I keep my rover calendar updated based on these schedules. My dog is my number one priority. His needs always come first and I work hard to make sure he has the best life possible. I offer these same commitments to your pets through my rover bookings. I make sure to get in touch with owners before booking to ensure I have all the information needed for their pet’s care, such as potty time, feeding schedule, any medications, walk times, etc. I’m always available for a meet and greet beforehand as well!

“Tiffany was so great with my energetic dogs! She kindly agreed to meet in person before booking, since I was going to be out of town. She communicated with me quickly with any concerns. I will definitely be using her again for future drop ins and walks.”


“Jessica has been fantastic with Cooper and I would highly recommend her. Very personable and caring.”


“Megin was wonderful with our schnauzers. We came home to a clean house and happy dogs!! Thank you Megin for a restful vacation because we knew our pups were in good hands”
