About: I'm a local cat mom with 13 years of experience. I have a 9 year old Raggamuffin named Patches. I specialize in cat care, but also have hands-on experience caring for dogs of my friends and family. Whether I'm visiting a shy cat who needs space or an energetic dog ready for a walk, I promise to show up consistently, follow your pet's routine, and keep you updated with photos so you can relax while you're away. I currently have an open and flexible schedule which means I can accommodate early morning visits, evening drop-ins, and multi-day house sitting stays. Whether I'm doing a drop-in, a dog walk, or an overnight sit, I treat your pet and home the way I'd want mine treated. For cat visits I follow feeding and play routines, scoop the litter, and refresh water. For dog walks I keep them to familiar, low-traffic routes until I get to know your pup. For house sits, I keep the space tidy with doors and windows secure.

About: Hi, I have been an animal lover my whole life and have had the privilege of caring for all kinds of animals. I have had and cared for your everyday pets like cats and dogs and then your not so "normal" pets like a baby skunk, racoon, and squirrel. I love all animals. I have 1 male cat and 1 female cat that are both fixed and up to date with their shots. They are very friendly and get along great with other animals.I have a 14 year old daughter that helps me a lot with feeding and walking our “guests”. I live in an apartment with an unfenced yard in the back. We live close to 3 very beautiful parks. Your pet will be very comfortable here and well cared for. We will treat them like one of our own fur babies. The living room is open for all the pets to sleep in and we have plenty of room for crates if needed. My pets sleep on the couch but there is room for beds and other sleeping materials. My daughter loves to share her bed too, which is mostly where the pups sleep when they’re here. Excellent references available upon request I currently work part time so I have plenty of time to care for your pet. I’m home late afternoon during the week and all day on the weekends. I’m also home on most holidays. I have many repeat clients that love the freedom of being able to enjoy their vacation and feel at ease knowing their pets are cared for by someone that knows them and loves them. I am with the pets for most of the day and while I’m at work I have 2 cameras set up where I can see them at all times and talk to them. I’m open to house sitting but wouldn’t be able to spend all day there just because I have my daughter and my pets at home. But after work I’m able to stop in and handle anything that needed to be done. I’m home by 3:30 during the week and home all day on the weekends. During the summer my daughter is home and helps with bathroom breaks while I’m at work. I have an unfenced yard for the pups to play. We just keep the leashes on while we’re out. I can accommodate any food restrictions and administer oral/syringe medications as needed. I’m also available any time while your pet is staying with me, so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life and have grown up around both dogs and cats. Whether it is keeping up with an energetic dog, taking them on a walk, or taking care of an attentive cat, I am passionate about making them happy. I have always been a go-to when it comes to friends going on vacation. There hasn’t been a time in my life where I wasn’t around a pet! As a student, I am currently on summer break, so I am available on a daily basis. I am available all day or night for care, walks, and check-ins. To ensure the best possible care for your pet I will familiarize myself with the home environment. I can utilize toys or tools you may have for your pet, or can even bring some of my own if need be! Able to walk around in neighborhoods or play in yards.

About: Hi, I can’t wait to be your furbaby sitter❤️ Dogs make me happy & that’s the best job, something that makes you happy ☺️ When you love what you do it doesn’t feel like work🫶🏼 I only watch 1-2 dogs at a time so they get my undivided attention 🥰 I am Pet First Aid & CPR certified so in case of an emergency I have the knowledge of the importance of prevention of illness, injury & early veterinary care. I’ve had different breeds of dogs all my life. But now I just have 1 tiny pink dog who fully vaccinated & is very friendly and sweet, she loves to make new furry friends. We love all animals. We hope to make some new furry friends ☺️ But I also understand some dogs do not get along with others so Marshmallow has her own little private room where I keep her most of the time so if your dog doesn’t get along with other dogs then they can have full range of the house 😊 Breeds I’ve cared for in my life & that I have experience with: Bichon Frise, Siberian Husky, Maltese, Pitbull, Pomeranian, Chihuahua, Golden Retriever, Cockapoo, Goldendoodle, French Bulldog, American Bully, Yorkie, German Shepard, Labradors, Pomsky, Shih Tzu, Havanese, Cairn Terrier, Boston Terrier, Saint Bernard, Labradoodle, Standard Poodles, Mini Poodles, Border Collie, Duck Tolling, Samoyed, & Mixed Breeds. I have experience with dogs who have separation anxiety. As well as disabilities such as blind dogs and dogs who can’t walk on their own. I also have experience with terminally ill dogs. My dog was diagnosed with cancer in 2020 & I gave her all the love and attention and care she needed and made her last months comfortable as I could before she crossed the rainbow 🌈 bridge. Rest in peace Princess 👑 I make my own schedule so I have plenty of time to give your fur baby the love, care and attention they need & deserve. If I’m watching your dog then that means I’m with them full time at home so they will get walks and plenty of attention! I have a big living room dedicated to pets that is pet friendly with multiple beds, blankets, food bowls, water & plenty of TOYS! With plenty of space to play. I have a big fenced backyard for exercise. The fenced in back yard is perfect especially for those hot summer days so your fur babies paws don’t get too hot. I’m also a personal trainer so I love to go on walks/runs with dogs who have a lot of energy. But I also like to relax at home and take naps so that works for dogs who have low energy.

About: I have lots of experiencing taking care of my little dog Roy, a Chihuahua and Boston terrier. I live together with my brother in a suburbia kind of neighborhood and work from home, we have a beautiful backyard and front yard space as well. We love hiking and usually go for a run no matter the weather. As I work primarily from home, I am mostly here to provide personalized care and tend to all their needs. I can be available at random times during emergencies or last minute planning. I live an active lifestyle and can run with the dog to ensure your pal is getting the exercise they need through out the day. I like a challenge and am willing to adhere to special circumstances with your pet.

Katrina was so attentive and kind when she came to meet Coco and me! Coco seemed to love her right away. She arrived on time and went above and beyond by spending extra time with him, giving him treats and cuddles before leaving. It was clear that she genuinely cared about making him feel comfortable and loved. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable walker!

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.
