About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have always had a dog of my own, so caring for dogs has always been a natural part of my life. I’m comfortable with the everyday needs of dogs, including feeding, walks, bathroom breaks, playtime, and giving them plenty of love and attention. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to follow your pet’s usual schedule and care instructions so they feel safe, comfortable. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing, cuddling on the couch, or simply having someone nearby, I’m happy to give them the care and companionship they need. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I’m available for dog walks, drop-in visits, feeding, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship. I enjoy being active and spending time with dogs, and I’m happy to follow each pet’s individual routine and care instructions. As I return to nursing, I plan to continue offering pet care on my days off, making Rover a great way for me to stay active and spend time with your pets 💕 For now, I’m offering drop-in visits and dog walking rather than boarding pets in my home. I’m happy to visit your home, take your dog outside for a potty break or walk, provide fresh food and water, and spend some time giving them attention and companionship. I’m a calm, caring, and responsible person, and I want every pet to feel safe and comfortable while their family is away. I’m especially interested in dogs who are comfortable with walks and drop-in care and who are able to follow basic commands. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and any specific instructions you provide so you can feel confident that your pup is well cared for while you’re away.

I have an open schedule and can work around whatever you need. I have a part time delivering jobs and I set my own hours and plan on working around other's schedule. I have a fenced in yard and have space to crate your dogs here if needed. I am open to coming to your house, will take on walks or stay home to play if that's not their things. I prefer to go to client's homes but can make anything work!
About: Dogs have always been a part of my life. I grew up with dogs and now enjoy my own dog and watching my kiddos create their own memories with our dog Jack. We enjoy the outdoors and go on a lot of walks and hikes with Jack. I am a teacher looking for a side hustle after 3pm on weekdays and full availability on weekends and Summer. I live in Lake Geneva and work in Elkhorn, so I am available there and surrounding areas within reason. I have two dog loving, energetic kids, a husband and a rescue pup named Jack. We all do well with dogs! ;) We live in a quiet, safe neighborhood with plenty of places to walk. We also have a nice yard to play in along with an endless supply of hugs and treats.

“I’ve used Rover in the past and after an initial meeting, have had great luck with dog walkers. Michelle is even a step above those walkers. Her kindness and patience in allowing my timid dog to get used to her slowly, over a few visits, was such a relief. Michelle’s a rockstar! 😊”
About: It all started out with my love for animals when I was younger. I started out my career in grooming than transferred over to a veterinarian assistant and became a veterinarian technician. I have over 8+ years experience with dogs and cats in the professional setting. I also have two dogs and one cat of my own that I love dearly. I currently got laid off my day job so I’ll have plenty of time to hang out,play,walk, give treats etc. Thank you for reading my profile. I won’t be offering in my home services due to my animals. When it comes to your pets I will play, walk, feed, kennel ect. Per your instructions
About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I understand that every pet has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, with a special appreciation for senior pets and those who need extra patience or consistency. One of the most meaningful experiences I've had was adopting a 12-year-old cat that developed chronic kidney disease (CKD). I cared for her through nearly four years of treatment, managing medications, hydration, appetite, weight, and daily routines until she passed away just shy of her 16th birthday. That experience taught me the importance of careful observation, consistency, and recognizing subtle changes in behavior that can indicate something isn't right. I also have experience caring for a Yorkshire Terrier and understand the unique needs of toy breeds, including their size, energy, and safety considerations. Several family members and friends have larger dogs that I take on walks and care for when they're away. Professionally, my background is in consulting and project management, which has made me highly organized, dependable, and detail-oriented. I follow instructions carefully, communicate proactively, and believe pet owners deserve regular updates and photos so they can enjoy their time away with confidence. My goal is always to care for your pets the way I would want someone to care for my own. Pet sitting fits well into my schedule, allowing me to provide reliable, attentive care while maintaining flexibility. I currently offer overnight house sitting, typically from approximately 7:00 p.m. until 7:00 a.m., when many pets appreciate the comfort of having someone with them overnight. During the day, I may have other work or personal commitments depending on the booking, but I always communicate my schedule in advance so expectations are clear. I strive to keep pets on their normal routines for meals, potty breaks, playtime, medications, and companionship while respecting the schedule that works best for each household. I understand how important consistency is for animals, especially seniors or pets with medical needs, and I do my best to minimize disruptions to their daily routine. I am able to pick up your animal and drop them off for an additional fee ($10 / day). When caring for pets in a client's home, my priority is maintaining the environment and routines they already know. I carefully follow your instructions for feeding, medications, walks, exercise, household rules, and any special care your pet requires. I take time to build trust with each animal, allowing shy or anxious pets to become comfortable at their own pace. Safety is extremely important to me. I pay close attention during walks, keep doors and gates secure, monitor pets for changes in behavior or health, and never hesitate to contact an owner if I have a question or concern. I also treat every home with the same respect I would expect someone to show mine, keeping it clean, secure, and well cared for during your absence. Communication is a key part of my service. You can expect regular updates and photos so you know how your pets are doing and can have peace of mind while you're away.

About: I have experience caring for a variety of pets with different needs and routines. I have taken care of a 1-year-old cat along with 3 other adult cats, including a cat who required at least 30 minutes of playtime and interaction every day. I have also cared for a large dog who ate home-cooked soup mixed with his food at specific feeding times, as well as a husky who stayed in an air-conditioned dog house unit and required daily vitamins and attentive care. I am good at following direction for the desired care you and your pet need. I work remotely and any activities I plan I would plan around a schedule if at all with the pet in mind. I will plan in advance for the openings I have in my schedule to permit me to be with the pet. I typically stay in the pets home to create a less stressful environment for the pet and go about its daily routine as instructed by the pet owner. I will stay as long as required by the pet owner or stay in a guest bedroom all day depending on what makes the pet owner most comfortable with.
About: Vet technician, worked with sheltered dogs, & police K9s. I will not turn down any pet of any medical or behavioral issues.

About: I’ve spent a majority of my life around animals. Growing up, we had a variety in the house (dogs, cats, fish, squirrels). I’ve learned that being calm, loving, and patient is the key to dealing with any pet. Like people, pets have their own quirks and personalities that is an absolute joy to learn about! I currently assist my sister with her two boys. Now that they are both in school, my schedule is much more open. I help get them to school early in the morning, and help pick them up in the afternoon. I have no problem helping with specialty pet needs and care, whether that be crating, medications, or assisted devices. Your pets are in great hands :)
About: I love animals so much! I have one cat Patchy that I love dearly and an older cat spotty who passed away two theses ago. I love all other animals so why not help out and get paid for spending time with more babies!:) I have bathed, feed other animals for neighbors and such! I have boarded a dog for 1 weekend as well. I am a current dental assistant part time dance instructor. Just looking for anything to save to go back to school! I’m currently working part time and am looking for good employment so this would really benefit me! I have open availability for the remainder of two weeks! Depends on the client home, but I like having cozy things for animals to bury themselves in. As well as things that smell like owner, treats, etc.
About: My husband and I are workampers! That means we move every season to a new campground and work there. This time, we are at Jellystone Caledonia!! We love to have the presence of animals, since it gets boring living in a campground without an animal to walk. There is a great dog park here with great socialization opportunities (for us and the dogs 😆😆)!! I would love an opportunity to pet sit any type of fur babies, I grew up with cats and dogs my whole life!!! If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out!! Pet care fits seamlessly into our routine. My husband and I travel full time, which gives us a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability. We both enjoy meeting new people and animals along the way, and our lifestyle allows us to be present, attentive, and adaptable. Caring for pets fits easily into our daily life and is something we LOVE. I care for pets by following their established routines as closely as possible so they feel safe and comfortable. In a client’s home, I make sure feeding schedules, walks, litter care, playtime, and medications (if needed) are handled consistently and with attention to detail. I respect the home and keep everything clean and orderly while you’re away.
