About: Taking care of dogs has been a passion of mine since I was a young kid. I’ve worked with a wide range of breed sizes and temperaments — from Cattle Dogs to Brussels Griffons — and I’m prepared to care for your pet as if they’re my own! I have a very flexible schedule working from home, and I can be available almost any time or day! If you have along day at work or are going out for the weekend, I can be here to give your pup the attention and care they need. I can tend to your pup in your home as non-intrusively as possible. Whether they need a quick potty break or interactive play, I can provide this in a way that makes you most comfortable.

“Min took great care of my pups! I loved all of the videos that she sent and I could tell that my puppies loved her even though they only went on a few walks with her. She also messaged me every time she arrived at my place and every time she was leaving, she would send a video of her locking my door so that I knew that everything was secure. She was so great. I will definitely book her again!”


“Mychelle is amazing! Her services consistently give us peace of mind that our fur babies are taken care of on days when we are gone all day! She always gives full details regarding her visits & the dogs are always happy to see her!”


“We had Megan come in the morning for a walk and in the evening for a check-in. This is the fourth time we have used Megan. We have always been happy with how she handles Finley Magee. We highly recommend Megan, and we will continue to have Megan watch Finley. This was the longest we spent time away from Finley Magee. It was hard for us to leave your 4-legged baby and I know it would be hard for our pup too. Megan put us at ease with her detailed progress reports during each visit. Megan’s knowledge, flexibility, compassion, and patience is incredible. By day 3, Finley was jumping around and excited to see Megan. We are very fortunate to have Megan help us with Finely Magee!”


“Skylar was very communicative with me prior and after taking my two dogs for their walk including with photos! During the booking, there was bad weather at the time (freeze) but offered playtime instead as a substitution to the walk since the temperature was too extreme for their paws. I greatly appreciated the offer and so did my doggy girls! They love her and will definitely be booking again!”


About: I have taken care of dogs for 5 years I love having them with me my family and friends are completely sure that we will lack love and care I am at home all day taking care of my baby and my dog. I can dedicate myself to make your stay at home fun I have a fenced in yard and a female dog that can keep your pet company. I can take care of it with a lot of love

About: What sets me apart is the trust and consistency I’ve built over the past two years caring for family dogs. I've been the go-to person for daily walks, feeding, and overall care, and their owners have relied on me completely knowing their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m patient, dependable, and treat every dog like my own. While I don’t have formal training, I’m confident handling different energy levels and needs, including puppies and older dogs. As a full-time student, I’ve structured my schedule to allow time for pet care. On Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, I have early classes and finish by midday, which gives me plenty of time in the afternoon and evening for dog walking. I’m organized and reliable, and I make sure to prioritize time with pets in a way that fits consistently into my weekly routine. Since I offer dog walking only, I focus on giving each dog a safe, fun, and engaging walk. I follow any specific instructions provided by the owner like leash preferences, walking routes, or special needs. I always make sure dogs stay hydrated, avoid hazards, and get the right amount of exercise for their age and energy level. I treat every dog with care and patience, just like I would my own.

“I am so thankful for Wesley! I injured my knee and haven’t been able to walk my dog. I could tell she was getting depressed. Then I found Wesley and he is really nice and so good with my dog. Now when Wesley comes to take her for a walk she is so happy and excited!! I am happy for her :) Thank you Wesley!!”


About: I have had all kinds of dogs including; french bulldogs (currently own 2), pit bulls, a Havanese (currently own), a border collie, golden doodle, and a chihuahua. I’ve had experience with a wide range of different dogs and have personally trained 2 of my own. I currently am attending esthetician school. My schooling is at 8:30 am-5:30 pm Monday-Wednesday. Dog walking and dog/cat check-ins, currently work the best with my schedule. Thursdays-Sundays I am ready to care for your pet whenever I am needed! When it comes to my dog, I always try to accommodate her needs. She gets plenty of walks and receives all the nutrients she needs from the food and healthy snacks I provide her. Her fur gets matted easily, so I make sure to brush her hair at least twice a week.

About: I've owned dogs for 50 years. My love of dogs has even trickled down to my grand daughters, who actually call me Dogpaw instead of grandpa, lol. (that is true, btw) I am retired and actually prefer the company of animals to humans these days. Being retired gives me a lot of flexibility. My home is equipped with a dog door (medium size - up to probably 40 pounds can come and go as they please to the fenced backyard. I am 70 years old and retired from the music business. I have owned dogs every year for the last 50 years, though to be fair, my last two dogs were Terriers that lived to be 19 and 18, so just two for the last 37. I have lots of experience recognizing dogs' illness or need to see a vet. We have a great walking area less than a block from our house with a small park area. I have a fenced backyard and as mentioned, a nice, nearby walking area and neighborhood. My house has a dog door that allows most dogs up to 40 pounds or so easy access to the backyard. I typically walk most weekday mornings for a couple of miles, if the dog's ae and condition allow.

Their safety and happiness are my top priorities, so rest assured they're in great hands. Feel free to reach out with any questions – I’m excited to chat with you soon!

About: I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your pet, and I take that responsibility to heart.

About: I am a lifelong pet owner and animal enthusiast, and I am experienced in caring for pets with a variety of temperaments and specific needs. I have a cat and a Bernedoodle of my own, and I've been pet-sitting for friends for 5+ years. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I'm an early riser or night owl as needed, and I can adjust my schedule to the needs of your animals. I can care for cats and dogs in the clients' homes. I can provide drop-in visits, overnight stays, and daytime pet-sitting. I'm happy to feed and water, play, brush, administer medicines, and clean up litter boxes/messes.

About: I'm new to Rover but a veteran at caring for pets and homes! As a retired civilian police support staffer, you can't have a safer, more trustworthy person in your home. Not only do you get a huge pet lover taking care of your babies, you also have the luxury of a trained veteran looking after your house and valuables, at no extra cost! I've been fingerprinted, polygraphed, background checked, and fully vetted for more than 22 years. You'll receive detailed daily updates - with photos - by text or email, and your babies will receive all the pets, scritches, love, walks and play time they want! I've had cats since I was 10, and most have been special needs in one way or another. One needed four pills daily in different combinations (half pill, whole pill, 1x, 2x, etc.). Another was diabetic and needed insulin shots twice a day. Currently, I live with Ellie, a rescue cat who is 18 and needs a liquid steroid nightly and regular B12 injections, and Gracie, a rescue cat who is 15 and has no needs other than a lap to sit in and hands to pet her. My spouse has a deaf dog, Helen, who loooves me, and the feeling is mutual! She doesn't get along well with most other dogs, and my cats don't appreciate visitors, so I can't board or otherwise watch pets in my own home, but I'm always available to visit your home! I am currently semi-retired and working for myself from home now. I want to enjoy being my own boss and keep my days and most evenings open for any opportunity that arises. As as 22+ year civilian police support staffer, you can rest assured that your pet AND your home are safe with me. I will treat both with the utmost care and respect and take time for an in-depth discussion to learn your needs and wishes beforehand. Not only is your pet in safe, capable hands, you get the added value of experienced eyes keeping watch over your home and valuables!

About: Growing up I always had animals around me. My childhood dog, Twinkie was a cute little yappy Pomeranian. She was a picky eater, but would always save a treat in her bowl and only ate it with me after I came home from school. In high school I volunteered at the local Wildlife Rescue where I cared for various small injured animals. I was responsible for feeding and weighing them, cleaning their cages, raising meal worms, and even got to observe surgeries. After college I lived a veterinarian so I am used to caring for random foster animals without notice. I work from home with a flexible schedule to care for animals. I can type on my computer in the same room your pet naps. I can take your pet on walks at any time needed, though I recommend mornings and evenings due to the current heat outside. I cook and clean for all of my own meals and can do the same for your pet. I can schedule cuddles or play time as needed throughout the day as well. :) I have a downstairs lounge, an upstairs living room, and a few bonus rooms in which your pet can relax. There are no other animals or plants in these areas. Crating is fine, but I prefer animals to have more space and freedom to move about. If I am coming to your home I am happy to follow any rules or special instructions you may have. During down times I will be using my laptop quietly in the same room as your pet.

“Patricia is very capable of taking care of your fur babies. I have two, a 7yr old weimerainer and a 2yr old mixed breed, high energy, squirrel chaser and they were happy when I returned. They were fed, walked and cared for. I look forward to her watching my girls in the future.”

Nicole was amazing with my 4 yr old dog Rosie. I'm so glad to have found her. Rosie is 80 lbs and can be nervous around other dogs so I was a little anxious about letting someone else walk her. I had nothing to fear, Nicole had a calm and capable approach and Rosie took to her easily! I'll definitely be booking with her again for both Rosie and my cats!
