About: I am experienced with different pets young or old,large or small, cold or hot. I have clipped wings, removed poop from my shoulder and put diapers on my Siberian Husky. I have time to put Rover ahead of everything else. I have transportation and time to set and play with these little or big guys. My pets are well taken care of. I feed them twice a day along with water. Throughout the day most of the time I have treats for them. I play with them at different times when they are not sitting in my lap. I brush my pets about every other day when they are not trying to get my hand. They sleep at the end of my bed and the next day we start all over again. I'm a lucky human!!
About: Hi, I’m Zane. You might say I have a bit of a Lucky Dog mindset when it comes to working with pups. For years, I’ve helped dogs build trust, confidence, and joy through calm leadership, positive reinforcement, and plenty of tail-wagging fun. Now, I’m bringing that same heart and expertise to the trails, parks, and neighborhoods. What Makes Me Different? As a college student studying both psychology and animal science, I don’t just walk dogs—I connect with them. I understand dog behavior on a deeper level and use that knowledge to make every walk safe, structured, and enriching. Whether your pup is high-energy, shy, reactive, or just needs a steady hand, I’ve got the experience to make sure they feel secure and cared for. Every Walk is a Training Opportunity My calm and confident approach turns a daily walk into a moment of growth. I reinforce good leash manners, provide mental stimulation, and make sure every dog gets the physical exercise and emotional connection they need. Service You Can Count On • Tailored walks based on your dog’s energy level and personality • Consistent routines and detailed feedback after each visit • Clean, respectful home visits with plenty of play, affection, and fresh air • Trusted care with a trainer’s eye and a host’s heart Whether you’ve got a brand-new puppy or a wise old soul, I’m here to give your dog the kind of care that’s worthy of a spot on Lucky Dog—because every dog deserves that kind of attention. Let’s give your dog their best day, every day. Pet care fits really naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule, so I’m home often and can plan my day around walks, feedings, and playtime. I enjoy starting and ending the day with pets—it’s a great rhythm and honestly something I look forward to. Whether it’s sticking to their usual schedule or giving them extra love and attention throughout the day, I make pet care a priority and enjoy having it as a regular part of my week. Whether I’m watching pets in my home or theirs, I always make safety and comfort my top priority. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, needs, and personality so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free for them. In my home, I keep the space clean, pet-friendly, and secure—no access to anything unsafe, and always supervised during play or outside time. If I’m caring for pets in their home, I stick closely to their regular schedule and make sure they feel at ease while their family is away. I treat every pet like my own, with lots of love, attention, and respect for their unique habits and preferences.
“Erica is absolutely amazing! She took care of my fur babies, Milo and Pickle Boy, and went completely above and beyond. She always arrived right on time, took them for great walks, gave them extra snuggles, and even surprised them with treats and pup cups! She is incredibly responsible and always made sure the doors were locked securely behind her. She kept me updated every single day with pictures, letting me know exactly what they ate and what they did in the yard. She even cleaned up any messes they made. Erica is the absolute perfect choice for your dogs—I will definitely be hiring her again!”

“Abigail did a fantastic job dropping in on my kitties. She was prompt each day and even scheduled a meet and greet with them. I am very satisfied. My babies were well cared for and I will use Abigail again for future bookings.”

“Maddie was wonderful with my kitties! They bonded with her fast and she was very thorough, responsive, and overall did a great job! Would definitely book her again!”

“Emma was awesome! She made sure to communicate every time she stopped by the house to feed and check on the pets. Our cat who doesn’t always like everyone was in love with her! So you know she has good energy. This was our first time hiring a pet sitter and Emma made sure we knew our pets were doing well and were comfortable and cared for. Will definitely be rebooking in the future.”


About: Hi! I’m a dependable and caring animal lover with experience taking care of family pets, including feeding, walking, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I’ll always treat them with patience, attention, and love like they’re part of my own family. I have been taking care of my family's pets my entire life; we have always had dogs and lizards for as long as I can remember, and it is a team effort to take care of our family members that can't speak for themselves. I’m excited to provide reliable care and help give you peace of mind while you’re away from your furry friends! I am currently working part-time at the Lynchburg courthouse in downtown. This includes Mondays-Wednesdays from 8:30-5:00. I am a law student at Liberty, so I am constantly working on some law related project or another, but I can offer time to house sit so long as there is a wifi connection! If you are located near downtown, I am able to offer midday visits to your pet Mon-Wed for potty breaks/walks at lunch time. I have always had dogs and lizards in my life growing up. While I have never cared for an animal that is special needs, I have cared for many different types of pet-personalities. I am happy to cuddle with your pet and go out for a long walk for the high-energy movers, as well as sit back and keep my distance if your friend is a little shy. Caring for an animal, to me, means listening to what they need when they tell you the first time.

About: I stand out because I combine years of hands‑on pet care with formal training in progress. At home I care for a playful 9‑month‑old pup, a tiny 18‑year‑old chihuahua, plus beetles and bearded dragons—so I’m experienced with both energetic puppies and delicate seniors, as well as exotic pets. My dedication to animals has led me to pursue a future in the pet care service field. I have earned many certificates for animal care such as certification for Working with Dogs and Pet First Aid / CPR. I’m available Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. -5 p.m. for dog walks, and during those hours I’m fully devoted to caring for your pets. While I balance family life with a child at home, pet care is truly part of my everyday routine—24/7 with my own animals—so giving reliable, loving attention to yours fits naturally into my schedule. I am a very “by the book” person who values safety, respect, and trust above all else. If I enter a client’s home, I make sure to only do what I am hired to do, treating both your pets and your space with the utmost care. My years of experience as a housekeeper taught me how important it is to be trustworthy and respectful of others’ belongings, and I carry those same standards into pet care. Loving animals is one of my core morals, and I would never jeopardize my family, my work, or your trust.
About: I’ve had dogs all my life and I always enjoy taking care of dogs. I also love walking and playing with dogs it’s something that I’ve always loved doing Im currently a student and I only take two classes a day and I really want to fill my day by doing something that I love and something that I enjoy doing At my house we have a fenced in yard and we make sure that they are watched the whole time and when there done we let them back in through the door
About: I've grown up having dogs all my life and have dog sat and cat sat for neighbors and family since I was in high school. I am very active and love walking dogs! I am a current grad student and have a mostly flexible schedule. I am available on weekends and in the evenings to check in on or walk your pets! I am not currently looking to have a dog stay in my apartment as I am not able to have a dog at my apartment complex
About: I worked for an Animal Hospital for 4 years and am familiar with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I have dealt with some of the happiest and most anxious dogs and cats so I am pretty comfortable with anything. Will also give medication if your pet requires it. I have 2 dogs of my own who are very high energy, so I am used to that as well. I also deal with puppies and elderly dogs everyday so age is no issue. I don't mind any breeds! Small caged animals, fish, or some outside animals are no problem either. I hope you will choose me to check on your babies while you may be working or out of town for a while! Thank you so much guys! It will definitely depend on day and time but I am pretty flexible! I don't work quite as much as I used to but I do still work full time. I go by and do what I am told by the pet owner to keep the babies in routine as much as possible so they do not become stressed but with that being said I also am not able to stay all day or neccesarily the exact times you might due to also having a work schedule to abide by.
About: Your pets will be safe with me and have such a great time they will be having a vacation themselves. I am a full-time teacher but my brother lives with me and works second shift. So you get two sitters for the price of one! I am also available to walk dogs after I get home in the evenings or all weekends/holidays. I have had cats and dogs since I can remember. I love caring for and connecting with all animals. At one time I took care of 3 day old kittens and nurtured them back to health. They grew into three beautiful cats. I have fostered and volunteered with the humane societies in my area because I believe all animals deserve to be loved. Making sure your pets are taken care of while you are away would be a rewarding opportunity. I would love to have the chance to care for your furry family member. Give me a chance to get to help you love on your pet.
About: I've cared for animals all my life including dogs, cats, birds, ferrets, and much more. Please consider choosing me to help you and your pets. I run a seasonal business and that allows me the extra time to do stuff that brings joy and everyone knows animals bring so much happiness! I have 2 female dogs that love to play ball in our fenced in yard. You can trust that I will treat your pets as my own.
About: I don’t just care for your pets, I strive to make them see me as part of the family! Also love to clean, so you know you will return to your house with it being just as clean as you left it. Ample training with young pups as well as caring for older animals. I work a job where I make my own hours, so I can fit whatever requirements into my schedule. No need to worry about long stretches without your loved one being checked on! Multiple walks are given each day (depending on their needs), with the option to run with them if they are high-energy dogs. All for the cuddles and playing inside for those that need either or both instead!
About: I've taken care of pets since I was 6 years old. I love horses, snakes, wild life. I was a dog sitter! I help potty train doggies and teach them tricks because my brother dog is super smart and makes anything possible for learning. I want to share on other pets, I've always grew up around animals! I make my own hours for work and work when I want! I'm available when you need me ! I can be available for any scheduling you need. Please just message and I'll have a quick response I have dog crates. I have leashes, doggy treats or cat treats. I have a spacious space and hardwood floors so they can run around and dogs have their own sectional couch in back room to sleep, lay... I also provide doggy tv and walks at the parks near my house. I have 3 children ages 4,2,1 . They are not sacred of pets and love animals.

About: I have 1 of my own dogs who lives with me. But I also have experience with a total of 4 dogs as my parents have 3. All are Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. I am comfortable with all medium and small size dogs. I do request that they are house trained. I like to take dogs on walks but if they are smaller it is okay if they are not perfect at walking on a leash. I can even help work with them on that. I currently work a normal day job during the week. But I work remote, that means that the dogs would not be alone at all during the day. They would have someone to care for them, take them out and feed them if necessary. Every day it is not raining, I do go on a 1 mile walk with my dog on my lunch so that they get good exercise. HOUSE SITTING: I can work remote from your house providing care all day. However, my dog Charlie would also have to come with me. If this is something that you do not feel comfortable with, I can offer drop in help instead. I have 1 of my own dogs (Charlie) who lives with me full time. My apartment is fully equipped for a dog to be here safely. I have a balcony where the dogs can spend time enjoying the fresh air. My dog gets along with all other dogs and is very friendly as he used to go to daycare with many other dogs. I have the ability to walk the dogs, get them fresh air and exercise. I also have dog toys and bones available for them to use. Dogs are allowed in all areas of my place. Including the couch, dog beds and human beds. Allowing them to be where they feel the most comfortable.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Madison Heights choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter 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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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 sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
