About: I’ve been caring for animals for years and love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I’ve fostered 8 cats and 1 dog to date, helping them adjust to new environments and getting them ready for their forever home. I also have two cats of my own and two family cats, so I understand the care, attention, and patience they need. I’m also the go to pet sitter for my friends whenever they’re away. I’m also a certified sitter through Southeastern Guide Dogs, where I’ve cared for and trained puppies and service dogs in training. This has really shown me how to work with dogs of all ages, personalities, and energy levels. I know every pet is unique and I really take the time to understand their needs and personality. I want to make sure your pet is comfortable and cared for, giving you peace of mind and lots of pictures while you’re away! I recently graduated, so I currently have a very flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate my time to caring for pets. Between pet sitting and other flexible work, my routine revolves around the pets I’m caring for, not the other way around. This means I have plenty of availability for drop-in visits, walks, overnight stays, and can easily adapt to your pet’s normal routine! As of right now, I am only able to provide care in my client’s home so pets can stay where they’re most comfortable, but also to ensure that my own cats, who are nervous around other pets, remain comfortable. When caring for your pet, I treat both your home and your baby with the same respect and attention I do my own. I carefully following feeding schedule, medication instructions, walking routines, and any other care preferences you provide. I understand that every pet has different needs, and I take the time to learn their personality, comfort level, and routine so they feel safe while you’re away. Safety really is my number one priority. I’ll make sure doors, gates, windows, and any other areas are secure. I’ll be sure to keep your pet in approved areas, look out for any changes in behavior or health, and send lots and lots of pictures and videos!

About: I can take on the most hyper of dogs (I have one myself). I understand the high demand of a hyper dog and am ready to walk and play with your furry friend! I can also care for small critters! I work 2p-10p full time as a behavior specialist with individuals with autism. I am available most mornings and am available for overnights after 10pm! I always ensure that my pets have everything they need: lots of love, an extra long walk on sunny days, toys to play with, and food that meets their diets needs.

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 13 (helped the neighbors walk theirs and care for them overnight). I'm very patient and caring when it comes to any canine. I'm currently a full-time student studying for a couple of IT certifications so I'm available at almost any time to help you with your pet care needs! I've cared for my pets in my home by making sure they're happy, healthy and cared for. Pets can be a lot to manage so help me help you.

About: I have been a pet owner for over 30 years and can provide a calm, loving and patient environment for your best friend. I have a large, grassy, fenced in yard for endless zoomies and we live very near trails and pathways for walks. I work very close to home and am currently part-time (6 hours) daily. I live independently and have a pet-friendly home with plenty of space and freedom. I am an early riser and love long walks in most weather. I have a large, fenced-in yard and live near multiple trails for long walks. If I am visiting your home I can spend extra time playing and hanging out with your best friend. I am experienced and confident in administering dog meds and caring for elderly dogs.

“Mathew is very responsive and saved the day when I needed to find a walker in a matter of hours. He took time to understand my dogs personality & behavior and was very communicative about the experience. Highly recommend!”

About: I work as a veterinary assistant at a private practice hospital. I care for dogs and puppies of all ages and sizes, and I have had personal care with my own dog and cat! I can also offer basic grooming services if needed! I work part-time at a veterinary hospital. I am available Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. I would love to spend my time with your furry friend! I have a cat and have been around many dogs before and I treat every animal as I would my own! Working in a veterinary setting I have learned many skills to adapt to every dogs unique needs.

“Melanie is a great walker and very communicative!”

Marcia F.

“Tracey is amazing! She came to our home a week before our trip away so she could meet us and our dog. Her friendly, warm personality gained our confidence immediately, and won our dog’s affection! She sent us updates after each walk along with a pic of our pup being well taken care of. We would highly recommend Tracey!”

Maggie R.

“Carly was always on time and my dogs loved to walk with her. She provided consistent and helpful updates after the walk and was always easy to communicate with about schedule changes or general questions.”

“Maria is awesome!”

About: I’ve always enjoyed caring for animals and have experience with both dogs and cats. I’ve helped walk and play with my aunt’s dog and make sure he’s safe and comfortable. I also used to cat sit when I was younger, where I fed, played with, and cared for the cat. I’m responsible, patient, and attentive to each pet’s needs. I always make sure they are well cared for and comfortable while their owner is away. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine, and I make time for it around my other commitments. I have gymnastics training Mon, Wed, and Fri from 8am-12pm, and Tues and Thurs from 12pm-4pm. I am away on weekends, so I am only available during weekdays outside of those practice times. I’m organized and good at planning ahead, so I can make sure pets still receive reliable and consistent care during my available hours. When walking dogs, I’m focused on safety and following each owner’s instructions carefully. I keep dogs secure on leash and stay alert during walks. I also pay attention to each dog’s behavior to make sure they are comfortable and have a positive experience.

About: I have worked at animal shelter as the dog room manager for 4 years. Fostered and rehabilitated over a dozen dogs/cats. I love animals and creating meaningful connections with them. I am great at reading dog and cat body language and will always do my best to meet your pet’s personalized needs! I am a teacher who is off for the summer. I am incredibly flexible. During the school year I work part time and have a lot of availability as well. I am dedicated to maintaining the individualized schedule for every pet to ensure their care is as stress free as possible. I understand pets thrive with predictability and I am focused on creating a safe and predictable environment for them.

“Amelia is amazing! She is reliable, communicative, and so good and patient with my little pup.”

Claire P.

“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter. Summer took amazing care of our three dogs while we were away for Christmas. Communication was excellent the entire time, and it was clear how much our dogs loved and trusted her. Summer is friendly, reliable, and truly great with pets. While we were away we had total peace of mind. Highly recommend!”

About: I am an active individual and love the outdoors! If you have a pup who likes to run, I do not mind going for a jog. I have a small 9 year old Yorkie who loves other dogs and invites them happily into our home. My husband and I recently lost our senior dog who was almost 17. We have a lot of experience with providing senior dogs with a comfortable and extra loving home. I have puppy experience as well! We live on a beautiful property with 4 acres of land. While our yard is not fenced, we sit back from the road and I have taken my friend's dogs out on leash in our yard with no problems. It's a big yard with lots of exploring opportunities. I also enjoy going to the preserve in town to walk my dog and can happily do the same with yours. My husband and I take care of our Yorkie daily. On the days I have provided availability, I am home for the day/night. This allows me the time to care for another dog with our Yorkie. In the summertime, I plan to have weekday availability as I am a teacher and will be on summer break. I have a beautiful piece of property that while not fenced, sits back from the road and is great for a good walk through the grass on leash. I also love going for walks at our local preserve and live on a road that is pretty quiet that I frequently walk my dog on. I am always happy to stop in for a drop in visit while you are away for the day and need care for your pet. I am happy to crate your dog if needed.

“Thanks!”

About: Hello, my name is Carley! I have taken care of various breeds, ages, and sizes of pets, including dogs and cats, since I was 10 years old. Both dogs and cats have lived in my household since I was an infant, and I have a very close connection with animals. I am specialized in training puppies, as I have always had a good sense of each individual dog and their behavior and personality. Although I have grown up with both cats and dogs, I currently own four precious female cats, that have been spayed and have all of their vaccinations. Friends and family have always come to me to walk, feed, train and bathe their pets. I believe that all pets deserve all the love, care, and playtime in the world. However sometimes we get caught up or overwhelmed with work or other activities and responsibilities, making it hard to find the time we need to care for our pets! Don’t be ashamed, life is chaotic and sometimes we wish there were two of us!! That’s why I am here, to provide you a helping hand when you and your pet are in need. I am currently working part time, and my schedule isn’t set, so it tends to vary. However I’m looking to start my own business soon which will give me the flexibility I need to manage my life and help you manage yours!! I am on call and will accept any requests as long as I’m not at work. Until my career shift is made, I would suggest you give me a day or 2 in advanced prior to scheduling anything. Time is also flexible, as there’s no time of the day I wouldn’t come lend a helping hand! I live in an apartment building which holds 8 apartments, and my neighbors are all pet friendly. We have a big parking lot located away from the street and a decent sized grassy backyard. I live in a cute local town that is very laid back and on a road that is very low traffic. There are sidewalks all over and a cute local park, 3 minutes down the road from me great for dog walking! If you ever need me to care for your pet in my own home, I will have your pet separated from my four cats upon your request. Pleaser note that rates can be adjusted/ modified to your needs. My current set rates are just standard but I am flexible, as I am here to help! ** Note - I live with my boyfriend, his name is Giovanni. He typically accompanies me on bookings as he is great with animals! He attends the meet & greets with me for safety precautions. Giovanni works full time Monday through Friday. On weekends & evenings he loves to join me during services, spending time with the pets I am caring for. I like to introduce the pets & their owners to him as well.

About: When I’m not at work, I spend most of my time with our 9 year old rescue dog Cooper, or spending time going on walks as a family. In my spare time, I’ve had the pleasure of fostering 7 rescue dogs in our home until they all were matched with a loving family and their forever homes❤️. Lover of all animals (cats included, although I cannot pet them due to allergies🤧). I enjoy getting to meet and take care of all sorts of pets on Rover. I’ve even had the chance to feed a families horses while they were away on vacation. If your fuzzy family member needs a babysitter, a nice walk, or anything in between then feel free to send me a message! Currently open 7 days a week for availability. Feel free to reach out regarding availability or with any questions, and I’m also happy to do a meet and greet if preferred. For high energy dogs I have taken them on neighborhood walks, hikes, or played toys with them. I always let the pet parent guide me on what their dog is up for. We have a senior dog gentleman of our own, so for dogs with a milder temperament I am happy to take them on short walks or can hang inside with them if that’s more their speed.
