“Stephanie has been wonderful to work with and we cannot recommend her highly enough. Our pupper enjoys every walk she takes with her. We can really tell that Stephanie cares about our dog and enjoys what she does. When we’ve had issues that we needed to cancel at the last minute, Stephanie was responsive and more than flexible in rescheduling and helping us. As long as Stephanie continues to work on rover, we will continue to do our best to make every accommodation needed to book her every time we need someone.”
About: For the past few years I’ve been the number one contact in my family to pet sit. From small to large dogs I’ve been paid to feed, walk, and brush them. Additionally, I have experience training and grooming my own dog. I’m home from college for the summer and I do not plan on leaving for vacation anytime soon. I can always make time for pet care, especially within the next few weeks as I apply for jobs. Although I cannot care for pets in my own home, I’m very respectful when it comes to entering others homes! The boundaries clients set will always be respected and I take pride in my abilities to properly care for and walk dogs.
About: New customers get $20 off first booking! https://www.rover.com/sit/tinay36247 I've had two dogs, three cats and worked at a non-profit animal shelter for a number of years. I love animals of all kinds and am excited to take care of your family member! I generally only take one furry friend at a time so that they get my unlimited attention, however, if from same family, I can take more than one. Please message me. During the weekends, I am always at home and around the neighborhood. We have several great dog parks around the neighborhood. If you do not see any available days, please message me and I will be glad to work with you! My schedule can be flexible and adjusted to suit your needs. I have a fenced in backyard and will be sure to always be available to play with and accompany your pet. I will send pictures and videos to update you while you are away. I am responsible and can administer medication if needed. I would love to meet with you and your pet(s) first before you make a decision on a sitter. During that time, we can discuss all of your pet's needs, eating schedule, bathroom schedule, etc...No play will be unsupervised.
About: With over 27 years of hands-on experience in animal care, I have dedicated much of my life to nurturing, raising, and understanding the needs of a wide variety of animals. From a young age, I was immersed in environments that required consistent, compassionate care for pets, developing a deep-rooted passion and natural intuition for animal welfare. Throughout the years, I’ve gained extensive experience in feeding, grooming, administering basic medications, and observing animal behavior for signs of distress or illness. My approach is always centered around patience, empathy, and attention to individual needs—ensuring that every animal in my care feels safe, loved, and well-cared for. I currently have a beloved fur baby of my own, who receives the highest standard of care and attention. This personal commitment reflects the level of dedication I bring to all animals under my supervision. Whether it’s routine care or emotional comfort, I pride myself on creating a nurturing and structured environment for every animal. As a lifelong animal lover and experienced caregiver, pets are an integral part of my everyday life. My home is not just a place for my own beloved fur baby—it's a welcoming, safe, and nurturing environment for any pet in my care. Because of my personal commitment to animal well-being, I’m home the majority of the time, which allows me to provide constant supervision, companionship, and routine check-ins throughout the day. When boarding with me, your pet will experience a comfortable, secure, and engaging home environment—both indoors and outdoors. Inside, pets enjoy a cozy, climate-controlled space where they are treated like family. I maintain a clean and organized home, with designated pet-friendly areas for rest, play, and feeding. Whether your fur baby prefers quiet time or interactive play, I tailor the indoor experience to meet their individual needs, including any special care routines or accommodations. Outdoors, your pet will have access to a fully fenced-in yard—perfect for safe exploration, exercise, and fresh air. The space is ideal for dogs who love to run, play fetch, or simply lounge in the sun. Supervised outdoor time is incorporated into the daily routine, ensuring plenty of opportunities for physical activity and mental stimulation. In addition, I have a friendly, well-socialized dog who can serve as a playful companion if your pet enjoys the company of others. However, I also understand that not all pets are social butterflies, and I am fully prepared to keep them separated to ensure a calm and stress-free environment for everyone. Whether your pet thrives on companionship or prefers their own space, I adapt to what makes them most comfortable and secure.
“Stella is always so happy to see Michael ! Always on time and able to handle her puppy energy. He even took her out on Thanksgiving in the rain since I am out of town. I am so glad to have him around when I have to go away for a while, it is always a pleasure working with him!”
About: I am a doggy daycare attendant, dog groomer, and life long dog lover, excited to also be your favorite dog walker! I will treat your pup like my own and do everything to make sure both your needs are met! Currently working part time, I am usually available at the beginning of the week. Advance notice of needs is appreciated and can be worked with. Your home will have my utmost respect and care, just as your fur baby will! Open communication is key in my opinion. I will walk, play with, and feed your pet to your standards and make sure you are as both happy as possible.
“Anna did a great job walking our dog while we were away on vacation. Despite the snow and freezing temperatures, she walked her for the full 30 minutes twice a day every day. She was very flexible when I asked her to pick the dog up at a different location and communicated a bunch of times to update me on how things were going. I highly recommend using Anna.”
About: For the last 11 years of my life I have taken care of my amazing dog who sadly passed away in 2024. Alongside taking care of my own pet, I have also taken care of others' pets. Friends, family or strangers, I always treat any pet as my own. I love all pets and have an extensive amount of experience in pet care, from dogs to cats to other animals as well. I am well versed in bathing, feeding, grooming, administering medication, and providing plenty of love and attention. My dedication to the well-being of animals goes beyond just the basic necessities; I strive to ensure they are happy, comfortable, and thriving in their environment. As a current graduate student, I am available during certain months of the year, including some additional weeks for breaks. I will always update my availability when I am in town, and will be more than ready to take care of your loved ones! I will only be offering dog walking and non-overnight dog/cat sitting services. I prefer to provide my pet sitting services in the home of the pet, but will make exceptions if needed. Typically, I like to use the pet's belongings when engaging with them, but I also have supplies of my own if needed. No matter your pet needs, I will make sure to care for your pet to the greatest extent.

We can work out a time for drop-ins or walks any day of the week! We follow your pets’ routine closely. meals, walks, playtime, and cuddle breaks, so everything feels familiar and stress‑free for them. One of us is always checking in, whether it’s for extra potty breaks, fresh water, or just a little extra attention when they need it.
About: It began as I got my dog the I began walking my neighbors dogs one by one for different reasons and I realized I could continue that here I'm currently available 24/7 aside from the time I spend with my own animals and maintaining the small things about day to day life such as paying bills, eating meals, hygiene, grocery shopping, etc. When it comes to my own dog as well as my clients I must insist the dog remain on a leash at all times unless on private fenced in property, and the owner has given instructions.
“Jamie was outstanding for the week that I needed her. She was super courteous and prompt. Texted me real time updates and was on time. She is super sweet and friendly with Kona. 100/10 will use her again.”
About: I've always loved dogs since I was little but never actually had one. On a drive up to my dad's job, is when my birthday wishes had finally come true. My dad and I had rescued my dog, Ebby, from a busy nearby highway and since that day my love for dogs has grown even more. All I've ever wanted to do was make them as happy as they made me. I've owned my dog for nearly 10 years now and our bond is still strong, even after my four years spent up at college. I look forward to walking a bunch of dogs using this Rover app and I am also willing to take them on little runs if it's okay with the owners!
