About: Healthcare provider and lover of dogs with over 5 years of experience with dog sitting and dog walking for friends and family at the University of Michigan (go blue)! Excited to bring my services to my hometown. I currently work full-time but am available on early mornings or after 5p on weekdays and most weekends! I work from home 2 days a week so my schedule is flexible. I have a medium sized backyard with a wooded area behind it in a quiet neighborhood. I am always cognizant of the pet owners wants and needs in their home and am very clean and organized!

“Jen did a great job watching Lulu. Lots of play time and it was clear that Lulu enjoyed spending the time with her.”


“Brooklyn was a great sitter! We contacted her last minute so that we could take advantage of some good backpacking weather over the weekend. She communicated very promptly, took great care of the dogs while we were gone (even sent us pictures and updates), and left the place in great shape. We would definitely recommend Brooklyn!”


About: I have been caring for animals my whole life. I lived on a farm until I was about 15 caring for chickens, goats, ducks, hamsters, pigs, snakes, lizards, chameleons, all kinds of dogs, all kinds of cats, you name it and we probably had it at our farm. I have lots of patience, empathy, and I’m very reliable. I love a nice set schedule/routine, I’m very organized and thorough. Most importantly I’m am a devoted animal lover and would be so honored to care for your pet!! I currently work full time at a restaurant as a training chef. My schedule is off Mondays and Tuesdays, working nights Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and then usually weekends my schedule if pretty inconsistent but most of the time I try to do doubles on the weekends. However, during doubles I do usually get an hour break around 4:00 which I would love to spend with your fur babies. I just have one cat his name is Bebe! He is my best friend in the whole world! I’m a very loving and affectionate person when it comes to pets, and I truly enjoy cuddling and spending quality time with them. However, I also understand that every animal is unique and may need some time to adjust to a new environment or person. I make sure to give them the space they need, respecting their boundaries and allowing them time to feel comfortable and safe. I’m patient and intuitive, recognizing when a pet wants attention and when it needs some quiet time to relax. My priority is always their well-being, ensuring they feel secure and loved at all times.


About: I grew up raising dogs, both taking care of the family pets as well as raising puppies for my grandmother repeatedly. I also have some experience in dog training I work full time, but only four days a week. I can always check on animals in the evenings and I always have Friday/saturday/Sunday free for pet care In a clients home I am respectful of the space that’s there. I find it easier to deal with pets in an environment that is familiar to them as they seem more at ease that way. I do my best to follow any routine an animal has to keep the animal calm and to make sure they receive proper care

About: My motto is that it's my responsibility to make sure that each dog under my care is HAPPY and SAFE. Every day that I'm with your pup, I keep that motto at the forefront of my mind. I know how important dogs are to our lives, so it's my duty to make sure that your dog gets to experience the same kind of love while you may be away. I currently volunteer at the Toledo Humane Society to walk dogs and I have loved it. I am currently studying at the University of Toledo with online classes. I am always looking for more ways that I can get extra exercise and spend time with pets. I grew up on a farm and have so many great memories taking care of all the many animals we had. I miss my pets at home so I hope I can care and walk your dogs like I have for many years at home. Taking care of animals fits in to my schedule in the mornings of most days because I am not busy until evenings and I would love to use that time to take care of animals that may need a friend while there parents are away. I love taking pets on long walks where they can get all the zoomies out. I always start with saying hi and giving them a much needed welcome treat with some pets. I then will have doggy poop bags if needed on walks with some extra treats along the way.

About: I have always enjoyed spending my time with animals. I got my first dog when I was in elementary school - sadly he recently passed away - but since coming to college I have been missing my sweet fur baby. Being able to play with and care for someone else's pet while also earning extra cash would be an ideal job experience for me. Getting a new pet really isn’t an option for me right now. With all the free time on my hands, and I would love to get the chance to spend it walking and playing with your fur babies! In the past, I have dog sat for other friends and family and I really enjoyed it and having the extra company is always a plus!

About: Hey guys! My name is Amy King and I'm the owner of Eel Lady Aquatics. When I'm not busy writing and working with fish, I'm home taking care of our animals and family. I have always been an animal lover. Growing up, animals would just find me. It's safe to say that not much has changed into my adulthood. I am everyone's "go to," whenever it comes to helping our friends, families, and neighbors, take care of their beloved pets. The last year (2024) has been rough. While we did welcome a special needs puppy into our life, we also lost all three of our adopted senior dogs. Losing a family member, even a "pet," is devastating. Our hearts and home are a little bit emptier now. Animals are a blessing. We truly feel that they are genuine, pure soles. Helping to make someone's life a little bit easier, by simply showing an animal or two some extra love, is really no problem at all. One thing that I knew when I became a mother, is that I never wanted to miss the important moments. So rather than working for someone, I became my own boss. My schedule. My time. My family. My schedule offers me unlimited flexibility. This offers me lots of extra opportunities to helping provide extra care to those who need it. While our yard is not fenced, we live on half an acre in a very quiet neighborhood. When it's time to take our dogs outside, we simply go out with them. We currently have a deaf puppy who would love to have someone to play or even just snuggle with.

About: My name is Georgie and I will provide the best care for all your pets! I’m very passionate about animals and have a lot of experience with many different types of critters. I am a veterinary technician so I medically treat and take care of many animals daily. I am also able to administer oral and subcutaneous medications as well as care for special needs animals. I have been on rover for over 4 years now, it is something I have enjoyed doing in my free time. I have 2 cats whom I have rescued as well as a corgi who I recently adopted. I would be more than happy to meet and care for your pets! Feel free to message me with any questions you may have! I am currently not working so I am open and available to care for your pets of all kinds. I am usually available on short hand notices as well I always make sure to provide the safest environment for pets as well as respecting clients wishes. Providing the best care is my top priority!

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, and I’ve owned rabbits and guinea pigs for over 10 years. Through working at an animal hospital I’ve cared for numerous cats and kittens. Im also an avid reptile keeper and am available to care for exotics such as lizards, turtles, amphibians, tortoises, fish and birds! I’m currently a Licensed Veterinary Technician in Indiana. I’m also a licensed veterinary technician in Indiana, which means I can care for dogs and cats that may need any type of specific nursing care. I have watched pets for friends and family that have gone out of town on many occasions and each and every time I ensure their pet feels like they’re on their very own vacation!
