About: Hello, my name is Kindra! I got my Bachelors Degree from University of Wisconsin with a major in Wildlife Education. I am on Rover on the side because I love pets. I have cared for many dogs and cats in the past, and I currently have two cats. I have had internship and volunteer positions where I performed animal husbandry to a wide variety of animals, including reptiles and amphibians. I love all sorts of animals and want to work with more in my free time because it's what I love, and most importantly to better my skills with them. Thank you for considering me. I am employed full time, and I do 4 10-hour shifts. So, my availability for pet sitting is on my days off. Feel free to message me to see if I'm available or if you have any questions about my availability. *If your location is outside of my radius, I will charge an extra $5 per day of bookings to account for gas.* I am able to do check-ins and walks to let your pets out and play with them if needed (all animals deserve at least a little play time 😉)! I love to stimulate your dogs physically and mentally. We'll play a bunch of games, check out all the new smells around the neighborhood, and just have some quality petting time!
“Mattie was great. I am waiting for knee surgery and can't walk my dogs so a friend recommended Rover. I chose Mattie and she came over the same day I booked. She walked my dogs and I was able to bicycle along with them and we had a very nice time. I highly recommend her! Thanks Mattie :)”
About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for all animals and attention to detail. I have experience administering medications and actually enjoy keeping litter boxes clean and fresh. I’m reliable, gentle, and passionate about creating a calm, cozy space where your pet feels completely safe and loved. I work full-time weekday mornings, but after 1pm I’m all yours for walks, drop-ins, and quality time with your pet! I’m available Monday through Friday afternoons and evenings—weekends are my time to recharge with my own fur babies. I’d love to help make your pet’s weekday routine extra special! Whether I’m caring for pets in your home or mine, I focus on keeping things calm, safe, and loving. I follow your routines closely—whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or meds—and give your pet all the love and attention they’re used to. I treat every home with respect and every pet like they’re part of my own little fur family.
“Emma was great - she responded quickly to the last-minute request, was flexible, and communicated well. I was able to go on a long day trip today knowing that my dog was in great hands. Excellent experience!!”
About: I have always grown up with dogs and have just recently gotten a Cavapoo who owns my heart! I know your dog would own mine too!! I’m currently working 12 hour shifts on a rotating schedule so my schedule is always different, but I will have many afternoons available! I want to be more active in a fun way and being with your fur baby will make many memories for myself as well as your pup! I have lots of experience walking my own dogs and I am extremely careful with where I go. I have just bought some dog walking essentials such as a water jug that I can carry so when your dog gets hot it can get a quick sip!

“Grace is the BEST! She was my regular dog walker. She was very responsive and helped me get all the schesuling in the app. My dog, who can be timid with strangers, loves her. My schedule changed every week and she was always flexible. When I would get called for extra shifts, she would do her best to add the days to her schedule. I wish she was still in my area. She would still be my #1 dog walker. Can't say enough good things about her!!!”
