About: I’m a dog mom to three rescues (a dachshund, pit mix, and Great Pyrenees/Shepherd mix) so I’m very comfortable with different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’ve also volunteered at City Dogs for the past year, which has given me experience with dogs of all temperaments, including anxious and high energy pups. I previously cared for a senior rescue dog, so I understand the extra patience, gentleness, and attention they need. I’m also a nurse, which means I’m calm under pressure, detail-oriented, and very attentive to safety and well-being. I also have a 14-year-old cat at home, so I’m comfortable caring for cats and understand their unique personalities, routines, and needs. I treat every dog like my own and focus on making them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine! I work part-time as a nurse four days a week and am typically home by around 2pm. This allows me to be available for afternoon walks, evening drop ins, and most weekends, plus I have one weekday fully open each week. For house sitting, the longest I’m away from your home is about 8 hours (including my commute), and I always prioritize making sure pets are comfortable, safe, and well cared for while I’m there. I provide care in my clients’ homes so pets can stay in the environment they know and feel most comfortable in. I do my best to stick closely to their usual routines so everything feels familiar and low stress. I’m very mindful of safety, whether that’s being aware on walks, keeping doors and gates secure, or making sure pets are always supervised. I follow all care instructions carefully and treat your home and pets with the same respect I would my own. I also send regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing!!

I also enjoy playing with them and helping them feel safe and cared for. During the week, I help with tasks such as grooming, cleaning litter boxes or pet areas, taking dogs on walks, and checking that pets are active and healthy. Caring for pets has helped me become more responsible, patient, and organized with my time.
“Our puppy Otter had another great week walking with Olesja. He is reactive to bikes lately and she worked with him on tuning them out and remaining cool as a cucumber, totally focused on her and their walk.”

“Colleen was great with Daisy! She was on time and provided our dog with the appropriate attention. Trouble shooted with bad weather and helped clean our dog’s paws before going back into the house after rainy/muddy conditions. Very reliable and trustworthy.”

About: Dogs have honestly always been a huge part of my life, so caring for them feels really natural to me. Between growing up around dogs and now raising my own puppy, I’m used to the chaos, energy, routines, and all the little personalities that come with them. I’m comfortable with everything from walks and potty breaks to baths, playtime, crate routines, and helping reinforce good habits. I love getting to know each dog individually — whether they’re super energetic, clingy, goofy, or more laid-back. My goal is always to make them feel comfortable, loved, and like they’re just hanging out with someone they already know and trust ♡ My schedule is pretty flexible right now! I’m currently interning Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays from 10am–6pm, but I’m available mornings, evenings, and overnight care on those days if needed. Wednesdays and weekends are the most open in my schedule, so I have plenty of time for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and giving pets lots of attention throughout the day ♡ Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my biggest priority. During walks, I’m very attentive to surroundings, leash safety, and making sure pets stay comfortable and secure at all times. For in-home drop-ins, I do my best to keep pets relaxed by following their normal routine and giving them lots of care, attention, and patience in their own environment. I’m respectful of both your home and your pet’s boundaries, and I always make sure owners stay updated with messages and photos so you can feel reassured while you’re away ♡

“Elizabeth just started walking Lucy for us. I wish I would have done this sooner. She is great! She takes lots of pictures and she also left a little gift and treats for her. I highly recommend Elizabeth!”

“Joe was great with communication, quick to respond, and treated my dog like his own during walks! He was accommodating to some of my dogs health challenges and limitations and willing to change up the normal routine to suit my dogs needs. Great experience!”

“Gabee was fabulous! She came to meet bogey a couple of days before the first walk, and was so receptive to everything we told her about him! She sent updates and photos throughout the walks, overall amazing first experience working with her!”

“Makenna was tasked with walking my very energetic, young, German Shepherd. She did not disappoint! My dog seemed to love walking with her, and Makenna has been very respectful, patient, and loving to my dog even though they just met! Makenna follows instructions to a T, is very thorough with providing me with updates, and has the utmost respect to your property and your pet! If Makenna can handle the energy of my dog, and provide it with good mid day safe exercise, she can do it for any dog. I would highly recommend Makenna for anyone’s pet care needs!”

Jefferson dog parents share their Rover experiences
August is amazing with my girl Reese on weekly walks. August is knowledgable, trustworthy and reliable. Reese is always looking forward to her walk with August! She knows they’re always caring, kind and gentle with her. I would highly recommend August to anyone needing pet care.

Michael is an awesome care provider for my dog Sirius! I highly recommend his services. He communicates clearly, is very consistent, thought and most importantly very kind. Unfortunately we have to move and will no longer be able to have him take care of Sirius. I wish him the best!

Megan is absolutely amazing! She has been so caring and attentive to our puppy, he is so happy after walks with her! She is an excellent communicator and gives great detailed updates. She knows what she is doing and takes her job seriously. We couldn’t recommend her enough!

Zach “Korb” was great with my old boy, Johnny! Super attentive and went above and beyond with helping me take out some trash as I’m injured and couldn’t do it myself. Johnny came back tuckered out and was feeling great! Korb is an all-around good guy. Highly recommend him!
