About: I am energetic, I love to get outside and give lots of affection and attention to the pet and spending time with animals in general. I love all dogs of every size and cats as well. I work for myself so I’m able to modify my scheduling and bookings to your exact needs! I’m known for my flexibility, understanding and business oriented planning! Your guaranteed satisfaction in all services ! I make sure to be near / with ones pet at all times; making sure they are using the bathroom frequently and being fed at the correct times or if specially instructed by the owner. I would keep your pet active with lots of walks ; Im also very familiar with secluded parks if your pet does not do well with other animals I create my own schedule and I work for myself so this makes it much easier for me to help others with any and all pet needs While I do not have a fenced yard I am always attending the animals when they are bright outside to use the bathroom they are never left alone and always right by my side

14. Lauren A.
About: I seem to be a magnet for anxious dogs and cats! Both my senior cat and adolescent dog have behavioral issues/anxiety, and while it has its challenges, I find bonding with these guys can be the most rewarding experience. Between slow, gentle movements, not rushing a bond, and having lots of treats on hand, I've learned that "difficult" personalities don't always have to be so hard. I work 8-5 on weekdays, with Mondays and Fridays being working-from-home days. I can easily incorporate lunch-time and evening visits into my schedule during the week with open availability on weekends. After adopting an anxious/reactive dog, my partner and I have invested countless hours into a training program that works for us. Through this experience, I've learned the power of positive reinforcement, consent for touch, and patience even when it's the most difficult to find it. I'm a huge believer in redirecting unwanted behavior rather than punishment of any kind. Love and respect is the driving force behind all of my interactions with animals!
15. Emily S.
About: I currently work at a PetSmart Pet Hotel, where we take care of cats and dogs. I have years of experience taking care of cats, dogs, reptiles, amphibians, and many other animals. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me as well as relied on me to walk, bathe, feed, and take care of their pets. I am currently working at a PetSmart Pet Hotel. I work part-time, anywhere from 20-37 hours per week. I also take care of pets in my apartment building for my neighbors from time to time. I have reliable transportation to and from clients homes. I am good with all animals as well as all breeds of animals. I will give your fur baby lots of cuddles and I will make sure that they are happy.
16. Anna J.
“Anna did an amazing job with Maple! She was so communicative and really eased my anxieties being so far from home. Will definitely be using her services again, and recommend her to anyone looking for care!”
17. Emma V.
“Emma went above and beyond when walking our puppy! You can tell she truly cares for your fur-child and does a wonderful job. She communicates well and even took the time to come meet him before his walk! Will definitely rebook and know that our Taco will love to see her again :)”
18. Rebecca O.
“Rebecca took care of my two crazy orange cats and she did phenomenally! I was out of town on vacation and she made sure to brush my cats, scoop the litter regularly, give them a nail trim (which is so hard since both of them are so restless) along with taking them outside in my cat stroller and play with them! She also made sure that they didn't get into any food and throw up! Thank you so much for watching them! I hope to have you watch them again!”
19. Kelsey E.
“Tmrw will be Sunny’s last doggie walk with Kelsey because we are moving and I’m just heartbroken about it! 💔 Have never had a walker as great as Kelsey and I’m struggling to find another Rover in our new location. 😟. Anyone looking for a fantastic Rover, call her quick before someone else does! We will miss her greatly. ♥️”
20. Abbey S.
“It was wonderful having Abbey to stop by to let my dogs out and have some play time while I was across the state with family. Both dogs were happy and playful when I returned home”
