About: Hi, I’m Ethan! I’m 19 and I’m ready to make sure your pets are happy, healthy, and entertained under my care! I have had pets of my own since I was young and love animals. I am most experienced in cat and dog care (all ages), but can care for smaller animals as well! I am always ready and willing to learn your pet’s exact needs and wants in order to fulfill them. Though I have my own pets I am well experienced in taking care of other people’s as well! I have been providing pet and house care services for friends and family since my pre teen years- it’s something I’m passionate about! Thank you for reading and I hope to care for your fur baby soon! :) I just graduated (class of 2025) and am looking forward to making this my part time job during this gap year, and hopefully in the long run! I love animals/pets and helping others, and am ready to dedicate my time to this important work for you and your pets included! I am prepared to learn your pets needs no matter how simple or complex they are- my top concern is your pets happiness and health! I promise any instructions discussed and or left for your pets and home will be followed to a T! This includes pets who are particular about how things are done, such as walks, meal time, Potty breaks, and etc (such as my own pets are- lol!) I understand that being welcomed into somebody’s home and taking care of their fur babies is a privilege.
About: I've always had dogs and crate trained my dogs. I know how to train basic commands but nothing really beyond that. I do love playing with dogs and also relaxing with them as well. I do work full time but I do work from home most of the week. So my schedule is pretty flexible for the most part. I have a fenced yard, and 4 friendly dogs. We do have 2 cats but they stay outside as they don't like our dogs. I make sure the the pet I babysit is comfortable and listen to instructions on the owners requests.
About: I enjoy caring for furbabies. Have cared for many friends furbabies and family members. We can go for walks, play, meals, snacks and have to relax I'm a retired Childcare Provider and now I'm home all the time. Enjoy having my furbaby. She would like to have a playmate to share her toys with and play I'm home most of the time, have a small outdoor area and quiet street for walking furbabies. Furbabies will get lots of love and attention. I am now retired from doing childcare for many years! Giving me time to care for fur-babies! Playing, feeding, going on walks and caring for pets makes life better! I have a small yard, perfect for small fur-babies. All fur-babies are fed in according with what their parent request. Go out often for potty breaks.
About: I’ve always been an animal person! I have always cared or taken care of animals ever since I can remember. From babysitting, feeding, or just potty breaks and some love ! Everything above. I am a stay at home mom so with that being said I am home all day and have all the time to love and care for your fur babies. I have a Frenchie named Memphis that is my baby and with me being able to animal sit he gets a friend with it. It’s a plus on both ends(:
About: I've had animals all my life, big and small and all species. Friends and family have always counted on me to take care of their pets keeping them happy and safe, while they were away. I have lots of pets of my own that are fed every morning and night as well as taken out for exercise as much as I possibly can. I work a full time job as a kennel attendant with some background in vet tech, (no degree). House sitting and drop in visits tend to fit the best with my schedule. I like to make sure your pet gets all the exercise they need so they aren’t super wound up by the time you get home! Treats are always giving if allowed and lots of attention of course. For house sittings, I also include plant watering services, making sure mail and packages are brought in and that the house is clean before you get home!
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 9 years old. I've handled different kinds of breeds. All dogs have different personalities and I've been able to adapt to all. I'm good at paying close attention to detail if I notice something if off when it comes to my clients pets. I treat all their pets as if they were my own! I am currently working towards school and I am unemployed at the moment. I have an open availability, unless I have another client during that time. I have an open backyard with a fence for my dogs to run around. One of my dogs is playful and the other is on the reserved side. I make sure they get all their energy out! In my clients home, I make sure there are frequent potty breaks and playtime. I also make sure your house stays cleaned as far as toys & such.
About: PLEASE NOTE: if your dog has ever bit/attacked/acted aggressively towards a person for ANY reason, I will not be able to provide services to you at this time. I apologize and thank you for understanding. I have owned and adored many dogs and cats throughout my life. If a close friend were to describe me, they'd say "animal lover". I have volunteered for a local dog rescue and have hosted 10+ large breed dogs on the way to their forever home! I have experience giving pills, shots, baths and cuddles to cats and dogs alike. I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies! I can create my own schedule at the moment, so going on walks and looking after your fur children is a palate cleanser for me! I am very respectful of your space and will keep it tidy. I am well equipped to water plants and always remember to lock doors behind me!
About: I am looking forward to caring for your pets! I grew up with very big dogs, German shepherds, Cane Corso, and Pitbulls, so I know how to properly give them the care they need.

Whether that is a long walk or pets inside I will always be sure to communicate effectively, send you updates and photos. I will be mindful and focused on your pet at all times.
About: I got a puppy about 10 years ago, his name is Bailey and he was such a hyper dog so I went on many walks, I was solely responsible for taking care of him, like, feeding, grooming, walking, entertaining, and picking up after. I am a college student, I am open all day. I can do nights and early mornings, if needed, I am available to be at the visit for multiple hours Although I can’t hold animals in my home, I take amazing care of my own animals that I carry that with me to every visit because I feel animals deserve to be treated with the same amount of respect.

About: I've been an avid animal lover for most of my life. I've had the amazing experience of dog sitting for 4 awesome dogs and taking care of my own dog Max for 11 amazing years. I've worked with dogs old and young (4-11 years of age), big and small (12-110 pounds). Although I haven't been given a chance to petsit for cats yet, I would love to be given an opportunity. I've loved every experience I've had with these amazing pets and hope to extend the same courtesy to your furry family members. I am currently a contract worker so my schedule is pretty free Monday-Friday whatever time of day. I am also available for whatever weekends you see open in my calender. My calendar is currently updated through August of 2026. I am very meticulous when it comes to following whatever rules and regulations pet parents put in place. I make it my goal to provide the best experience for the owners piece of mind on the quality of care for their fur babies.
About: I know how important dogs need to be walked . And they need to be able to go outside as well. And just my love for dogs is remarkable. I also went to school for vet assistant. I would like to gain more experience with taking care of animals with this on the side would be awsome.. I love all dogs. My fave is yorkies. And I treat each pet like it is my own. I have had dogs all my life.. My parents have about 6 to 7 dogs at a time.. We had a rabbit, chickens, ducks, cats, pot belly big, fish, koi fish, tortise. You name it I just love being around all types of animals. Dogs are more my favorite. Depending on the dog also depends on what activities we will do. Go to the park out here and walk the track, play ball or frisbee.

About: I love animals and would love to help you watch yours if you're out or take them on walks for you! I had a German-Shorthaired Pointer/Labrador mix for 11 years, he passed away recently but brought years of joy and experience with a highly-energetic dog. I recently got my first cat, and I have lived with several other dogs and cats. I do not have any professional experience grooming or dealing with animals, but I am more than willing to help out with letting dogs out, taking them on walks, etc. I definitely have plenty of experience walking dogs because of my little guy. I look forward to hearing from you soon! I currently have quite open availability, almost any day and time should work with some notice, and I will try to make it work regardless. I have a fenced-in yard where a dog can go outside/play fetch. I have 1 cat, but he can be kept in a separate area of the house if preferred.
“Daisy is very punctual and professional! She took 5 good quality pictures and walked Karlee the farthest than the last 5 dog walkers! Karlee was wiped out ready for bed after the walk! Thank you so much!”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since i was around 10. My friends and family can rely on me to watch, walk, feed and bathe their pets. I currently have 2 dogs that are very loved and so spoiled. I am excited to meet your pet, I treat all animals as if they are my children and give them all the love and attention possible! *BOARDING AVAILABLE ONLY FRIDAY-SUNDAY* Im currently working a part time job so on my free time i would love to spend it taking care of your fur babies! My schedule is not consistent and is constantly changing but I do my best updating my availability on here. I have a pretty large backyard that is fenced. I also have 2 very friendly dogs. One is a labradoodle (male) and the other is a chihuahua/terrier mix.(female). If needed my dogs can be separated from your dogs or if you prefer your dog to to be in a crate i could gladly do that as well. If you are to book a boarding I do prefer to set up a meet and greet with our dogs before confirming it.
About: I’m a dedicated dog lover with hands on experience caring for friends’ and family dogs, as well as my own, using positive reinforcement at home. On walks, I focus on gentle, calm structure, making sure gear fits comfortably, reinforcing polite leash manners, and (if you’d like) practicing simple cues like “sit,” “wait,” and “leave it.” I’m patient with excited dogs and extra gentle with nervous pups, always prioritizing safety and giving plenty of space from other dogs and people when needed. Dogs who need extra space on leash are welcome, I’m comfortable with mild–moderate reactivity and I work at the dog’s comfort level using distance, calm handling, and positive reinforcement. You’ll get photo updates + a quick walk recap each visit, and meet & greets are always welcome. I’m available for dog walks Monday through Saturday, with flexible time blocks from morning to evening (6am–10pm). Sundays are my off day. I’m happy to work with one-time walks, weekly routines, and recurring midday potty breaks—whatever keeps your pup happiest and most consistent. Safety comes first on every walk. I double-check harness/collar fit, use secure leash handling, and stay alert to surroundings. I avoid on-leash greetings unless you request them, give dogs space from triggers, and keep walks calm and positive. I’ll follow your routine closely and send photo updates each visit.
McHenry dog parents share their Rover experiences
Alora was great with my dog. She connected easily and with confidence. Alora was prompt, stayed in communication, and was flexible when I requested a change in our original plan. I enjoyed meeting her during my short stay in Modesto, and I have recommended her to my family members who live there.

Brianna has been doing a wonderful job walking my parents golden . They are both elderly and unable to walk their dog due to various different health conditions . I live out of town so I’m not able to help either . I found Brianna through the Rover app. Brianna shows up 3 days a week and lovingly walks Bella for 30 minutes each time . It takes away the guilt my parents had being unable to walk their own dog. And Bella looks forward to her walks everytime waiting close by the door with her tail wagging. I highly recommend Brianna
