About: I've been around dogs my entire life and gained hands on experience working in a professional dog hotel and daycare environment. I'm comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities - from Great Danes & Pit bulls to small breeds like Chihuahuas. I understand canine behavior, safety, and routine, and I strive to make every fur baby feel comfortable, secure and loved while their owners are away. Whether it's walks, drop ins, or overnight care, I provide dependable service, consistent communication, and plenty of photo updates for peace of mind. Animals are truly my passion, and I'm currently working towards building a long-term career in animal care. I treat every fur baby as if they were my own & I look forward to meeting your family furry baby. I currently have complete open availability for daytime & evening daily and accept short - notice bookings. Calendar for 2026 is officially back open!! I'm returning full-time & super excited to meet some new fur babies as well as returning fur babies. I'm extremely flexible,reliable and available for full- time animal care. I'm available every day Monday - Friday. Morning to evening. I work around my client's schedule to make life a lot easier for you. I respect clients homes, maintain a clean environment and ensure doors, gates, and fur babies are always safety secured. My goal is to create a calm, stress- free experience. Your fur babies safety and comfort will be my top priority. I'll carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and exercise routines exactly as requested. During walks & home visits, I'll use secure leashing practices and remain aware of surroundings with frequent photo updates for pet owners peace of mind.
“Raven is very nice, quiet and unobtrusive. She has been flexible figuring where to walk my dogs with all the snow on the ground. I really look forward to the days she comes to walk the dogs!”
“I couldn’t be happier with Dayanne . From the very first visit, it was clear that she genuinely care about my shadows needs . My dog can be a bit shy around new people, but she took the time to build trust and made him feel completely comfortable. Every walk is reliable, on time, and tailored to my dog’s energy level and needs. I also really appreciate the detailed updates and photos after each visit—it gives me peace of mind knowing he’s happy, exercised, and well cared for while I’m away. What truly sets her apart is her professionalism and love for animals. She goes above and beyond, whether it’s refilling water, giving extra attention, or noticing small changes in behavior. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, dependable, and genuinely passionate about dogs, I highly recommend her . It’s made a huge difference for both me and my pup!”
About: I have taken care of friends' dogs and cats on and off throughout the years with no problems and I really enjoy caring for for fur babies! I also care for chickens from time to time! I'm pretty flexible with my schedule! I can stop by your house a couple of times a day or stay over night if needed. Right now I cannot keep pets at my house. I will follow the instructions you give me and lovingly care for your pet as if it were my own. I can transport your dog to park if needed.
About: I've been caring for dogs for over 10 years, starting with friends' and neighbors' pets and later working at two dog care facilities. I've handled feeding, walks, playtime, and overnight stays, and I'm comfortable giving medication and caring for senior dogs. Working with so many different dogs taught me to read body language closely, so I can tell when a dog needs space or reassurance. I currently have a flexible schedule, so I can fit visits and walks around your needs, including midday check-ins that break up a long workday. I'm generally available weekdays and mornings and happy to work out a routine that matches what your pet is used to. I care for pets in their own homes, where they feel most comfortable. Having worked at two dog care facilities, I'm used to following safety procedures and handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I stick to your pet's normal routine for feeding, walks, and medication, and I follow your house rules. On walks I always keep dogs leashed and watch their body language so I can keep them away from anything that stresses them. I'll lock up securely every visit and send photo updates so you know how things are going.
“Christine is wonderful! My boys love her visits. She updates me with pictures and details of their time together. I appreciate her attention to detail. We are so lucky to have found her :)”
“Gabriel did a wonderful job taking care of our dog for multiple days. I really appreciate the status reports, photos, and videos of the walks with our pup, it made everything very reassuring. Will definitely utilize again.”
“Christy is a reliable and competent caretaker, and also a very compassionate, adaptable person. Not everything went according to plan with my dog Marcel because he was quite freaked out by my absence. Thankfully I had someone who rolled with the punches and did the best thing I could ask for: be a calm and consistent presence for my little friend. I'm very grateful for Christy's service and cannot recommend it highly enough.”

I have experience with basic obedience training and grooming (including nail trimming), and I'm more than happy to take your dog on a long-distance walk if needed. I work from home, so your pet will enjoy around-the-clock company! I can board throughout the week and am available for short or long-term stays. I have a very friendly Beagle who will love becoming your pet's next best friend! Though I don't have a fenced backyard, I'm near plenty of green spaces where your pet can enjoy time outside. Your pet can expect multiple daily walks, plenty of play time, and an experienced and caring sitter.

About: Hi there! I’ve been around animals my whole life, both dogs and cats have always been a big part of it. For four years, my girlfriend and I cared for a colony of cats in Fountain Square and that experience really deepened my love and understanding of our feline friends. Even though I currently have too many cats to add a dog to the mix (maybe one day!), I absolutely love spending time with dogs. Getting to care for them through Rover is incredibly rewarding; it gives me the joy of having dogs in my life while helping others feel confident their pets are in good hands. Whether it’s a pup who needs playtime or a cat who prefers quiet company, I’m always excited to meet new furry friends and make sure they’re happy, comfortable, and well cared for. (Also, I am currently looking for more drop-in clients as well as dog walking) House sitting is my specialty! It’s important to make sure your pet is comfortable while you’re away. I love to cuddle pets and give them lots of attention, but also giving them space if that’s not their cup of tea. I also will always clean up after myself! I work from home most of the time so I’ll have plenty of time to spend with your furry friends. I currently do not board due to space in my home. I can offer, plenty of walks, treats and love. I have experience with cats, dogs of many sizes and breeds. I’ve dealt with dogs with anxiety as well. I can easily bond with these guys!🐈🐕🦺🦮🐈⬛
About: I am truly fascinated about animals of all kinds, especially the “weird” ones! Growing up in North Carolina, I naturally had a passion for the outdoors, and the creatures who inhabit it. I quickly learned to have respect for these animals and have always wanted to learn more. I have years of personal experience caring for and loving dogs, cats, rabbits, snakes, geckos, chickens, and freshwater fish, but I am comfortable with many other species as I also have experience as an exotic veterinary assistant. I will always listen to every comment or concern, and make sure I am 100% available for all of your animal’s needs! I will always personally conduct a “history” with you, about your pet(s) before any booking! I feel like it is important to note certain information so I can look for any changes during our time together. I always log eating, drinking, defecation, and behaviors so I can ensure your pet is as comfortable as possible! Lastly, I understand that I am being entrusted with your animal’s care, and I take that very seriously. If there is ever a slight cause for concern, you will be contacted immediately! Typical Routines: maintaining food and water schedule as requested (plus cleaning food/water dishes daily), following scheduled potty breaks as directed, any enrichment/playtime/exercise activities, refreshing bedding, brushing/grooming, etc. Please refer to my calendar for more details about scheduling.I look forward to working with you and your pet(s)! I always approach animals with care and ease. I am never forceful or use a loud voice, and try to be as attentive to their needs as possible!
About: I was a devoted pet parent for 12 years, caring for my yorkies Maggie & Molly from the time they were one through their senior years. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, potty breaks, maintaining routines, and administering insulin injections when needed. While I’m new to providing pet care professionally, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets. I’ll treat your pets with the same care, patience, and love I’d want for my own 🐾 I work Monday through Friday 9am to 4pm. I’m in the office every Tuesday & Wednesday and every other Monday.

“Mallory has been a joy to work with! She is prompt with responses, friendly, and takes such good care of our pup! Mallory makes sure Brody is tuckered out by the time she leaves. She is very detailed about her stay and let’s us know if anything out of the norm happens with Brody as well. We thoroughly enjoy having her as a walker and know Brody is in great hands when we leave him with her. Thank you Mallory!”
About: I have had a family pet dog ever since I was little, including a black lab, a basset hound, and a toy poodle. I also recently trained a golden doodle to be a service dog, and she is now serving her family in Alabama. I work as a teacher during the day, but I am available in the evenings and on most weekends to house sit, let dogs out, or take dogs on walks. In the client’s home, I will provide care for the dogs as the client recommends. I am very flexible and will do what I can to make sure the dogs are happy.
“Allison has done such a great job of earning the trust of my nervous dog. Her expertise is evident in her thorough questions during the getting-to-know-you process as well as in her capable and confident handling of a sweet (but cautious) pup.”

I found Lorrie on Rover when I needed someone to walk my Emmee after my foot surgery. She did such a wonderful job!! Emmee took to her right away. Lorrie showed such love to my baby. I knew she was safe. I wouldn't hesitate to ask Lorrie to care for my Emmee again! Nancy T. Fishers, IN

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.
