About: I’ve cared for dogs of all kinds my entire life! I helped my family foster dogs of all ages and sizes (up to 23 at a time) since elementary school. I haven’t met a doggy I didn’t love! I’ve cared for dogs by administering medicine, grooming, wrapping injuries, and more. I love going on runs and playing catch if your furry family needs some exercise as well! I work full time, but have a lengthy lunch break and free evenings after 5pm. I would be happy to drop in for an early morning visit as well. I don’t currently have any pets in my own home, but in my family home I am responsible for feeding, administering medicine, walking, cleaning up after, playing with, and giving head scratches!

About: Connecting with animals has been my life journey. I have extensive experience and knowledge with all kinds of animals, domestic and exotic. I have had cats, dogs, rats, birds and the occasional rescue of baby raccoons, opossums and turtles. Right now due to my father’s health, I resigned from corporate and have made the decision to care for him. Initially, I took a leave of absence. Prior to these current issues, I always took my girls ( Lucy & Deja ) up to spend weekends all together anyway. Since my mom passed 3 years ago that routine was in place. I am available to be of service to my fellow animal parents and ensure you that I come with a lot of love and respect for your babies. 🌼 I currently am living in a condo with my dogs Lucy and Deja. They get long walks and playtime with their friends in the neighborhood. We all sleep together and I have a gaggle of cats/kittens (from a feral pregnant stray) I took in. When I had my house of 30 years, we had a fenced yard and everyone I know calls me when they have animal “issues”. I have been contacted through work internal team chats to go help the crow that flew into a window (at work). I have carriers and necessary supplies to help in these situations. That crow went immediately to Blue Pearl ( who will take in anything and help save it, humanely euthanize it, or then send to wildlife rehabilitation centers. I can care for all animals and want to be there for your pets.

About: With a lifelong passion for animal welfare, I bring extensive, hands-on experience to pet care. Having personally raised two cats and two dogs from their earliest stages as kittens and puppies, I possess a deep, intuitive understanding of the unique developmental needs, patience, and specialized attention required at every life stage. Beyond my personal experience, I have long served as the go-to pet sitter for my family and friends, building a reputation for reliability, compassion, and unwavering dedication. Whether navigating complex feeding routines, managing energy levels, or providing gentle, nurturing companionship, I treat every animal as if they were my own. My approach combines professional diligence with the heartfelt devotion that comes from a genuine love for animals, ensuring that every pet in my care feels safe, happy, and truly cherished while their owners are away. As an active online student, my schedule is naturally flexible, allowing me to provide high-quality, on-demand pet care. I specialize in one-time, high-attention visits that offer families total peace of mind when their regular routines are interrupted. Because my academic workload shifts weekly, I am excellent at communicating my upcoming openings and maintaining a reliable, professional standard for every single visit. I am eager to provide tailored, loving care for your pets whenever your needs arise. My care philosophy is centered on consistency, safety, and individual connection. Whether I am in my own home or yours, I maintain a structured, calm environment that prioritizes the pet's well-being above all else. For Client-Home Visits: I prioritize keeping the pet’s routine exactly as they know it. Before any visit, I conduct a thorough 'pet briefing' to understand their unique personality, favorite play styles, specific dietary needs, and any health protocols. I treat your home and your pet with the utmost respect, ensuring that I am not just 'checking in,' but providing meaningful enrichment and companionship. With experience raising my own pets from infancy, I am highly attentive to environmental hazards and subtle changes in behavior. I am dedicated to maintaining a clean, secure space and providing undivided attention throughout my time with your pet.My goal is to provide a seamless experience where your pet feels safe, engaged, and truly loaded even if it is just for a single, high-quality visit.

About: I have owned 2 dogs of my own, as well as sitting for many friends and family. My very first job at 10 years old was requested by my neighbors to watch their dogs while they were away. I have experience with all ages, including senior dogs, as my own both required a lot of hands on care in their golden year, including bi-weekly fluids, medications and special diets. I work part-time, sometimes in the morning to late-afternoon or late-afternoon to evening, usually 4 days a week. This schedule is not the same every week but I usually know 2 weeks ahead of time. There is someone home everyday after 5pm and all day Friday-Sunday as well. I have a townhouse with a fenced in yard. No ability to crate at the moment but plenty of space to crate if one can be provided. There are currently no other animals in my house, as my Biscuit cross the rainbow bridge last year. Both people in the home have owned pets, and have experience with care. Someone is home most of the time, minimal hours alone if any. Weekends will have someone home all day. House has step that can easily be blocked off by a gate if needed.

About: My pet care experience! 🐾 Animals have always been a huge part of my life! I grew up around a wildlife rehabilitation center, so caring for animals was something I was surrounded by from a young age. Our home was always full of pets! When I reached high school, I joined my school’s agriculture program and FFA (Future Farmers of America). Through FFA, I gained hands-on experience showing and caring for dairy goats, pigs, poultry, and rabbits. These experiences taught me how to safely handle animals, recognize when they’re stressed, administer medications, and provide the individual care each animal needs. I’ve also worked at a grooming facility and currently work at a boarding facility, giving me even more experience caring for pets with different personalities, needs, and routines. I’m comfortable administering pills, ointments, cleanings, and other basic pet care as needed. Most importantly, I genuinely love animals and want every pet in my care to feel safe, loved, and comfortable! ❤️🐾 About me and my schedule! I’m currently a part-time student in the EMT program at HCC, working toward my goal of becoming a firefighter. —I’m in class Mondays and Wednesdays from 8:30 to 12:30 and again from 5:00 to 8:00. I also love my part-time job working with dogs, which has given me great experience in animal care. With my 2 prior commitments in mind, please reach out and specify times. If your pup needs extra attention and cannot be left alone for 4 hours or less please let me know!!! I’m fully committed to adapting to whatever routine makes you and your pup feel most comfortable, safe, and happy.💖 Building trust. 💖 As a pet parent myself, I completely understand any anxieties and worries you may have when you’re away from your pet. My goal is to make sure not only your pet is comfortable and happy but you are anxiety free. When I am dog sitting,walking or house sitting, photos are a must for me. I will send as many as I can. And I will keep you updated throughout the visit! I am willing to become accustomed to whatever is needed to make you comfortable and makes your dog tail wag! I am comfortable with administering some medication’s. At my own home we have a large yard with other animals, so I am also very understanding when it comes to outdoor safety.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Lake Magdalene. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Lake Magdalene after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

Every walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet or the new environment.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

walkers on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
