“Erin was a life saver this week! With my husband out of town for a week and me with my hands full with a three year old and baby, getting out to walk our energetic and LOUD husky was going to be a challenge. Erin was always right on time and such a great communicator. I liked and trusted her immediately and Aurora Dog warmed up to her right away as well. She started waiting at the door for her in the morning. Thank you so much Erin!”

About: I am a retired registered nurse. I am used to giving medications to both dogs and people. I have administered insulin to dogs. I live in a quiet home on a quiet street I am home most of the time. I have plenty of time to play with puppies and I'm flexible. Taking care of a pet would not interfere with my daily routine at all I have a yard it is not fenced but it is a very quiet neighborhood and there are very quiet streets where I can walk a dog

“Xinia has been a blessing in my life! Bingo is so lucky to have an amazing walker that goes out of her way to ensure my bingo is well taken care of and most importantly she makes sure my bingo is loved! Xinia has been very patient with my bingo as it takes her time to trust new people, but Xinia has done and outstanding job being patient & caring towards her. I would recommend her to anybody that’s looking for a a sitter, or a walker! 12/10 from me!”

About: I’ve been around pets since I was a kid. I love walking with them. I have taken care of dogs ranging from small to very large. I am off of work due to a work injury and am available frequently. I can work at any time you need. Once I am working, I will update my schedule. I care for pets by making sure that I establish trust with the animal and make sure that they understand that I am a friend.

About: Updated: 2/28/2025 I have extensive experience caring for dogs of all sizes, cats, and parrots. With a degree in horticulture, I also offer plant care while you're away, ensuring both your pets and plants are well-cared for. Recently, I lost my beloved Giant Schnauzer, Hansel, who lived to be nearly 12 years old. While it has been a challenging time, I’ve found joy in providing care and companionship to my clients’ pets. I began pet sitting for family and friends over seven years ago. After my first year, word-of-mouth referrals connected me with new clients, and now I’m excited to expand my services through Rover. With a flexible and open schedule, I’m happy to accommodate your pet care needs. I aim to make your pet feel safe, comfortable and loved in your absence. I’m experienced with administering pill and liquid medications and am happy to follow any special feeding or care instructions. Puppies receive potty breaks every two hours, while older dogs are walked every 4-6 hours, or as requested. I enjoy spending quality time outdoors with pets and going on walks. When staying at your home, I ensure pets are never left alone for more than six hours. Most often, I’m home watching movies or working on my laptop, and your pet is welcome to sleep in bed with me if they like! My Schedule/Routine: I have an open schedule currently and without my dog Hansel, I have a lot of extra time now and my routine is very flexible. Safety, Trust & Environment: While I am at your house, I try to find a spot to sit and hang out in areas where your pet is most comfortable. I will sit and watch movies and I'm always more than happy to cuddle up if they want to! If I'm not watching movies I will be working on my laptop. I follow any schedule left for me regarding feedings times, walks, meds, etc. At night, if your pet wants to sleep in bed with me I am more than happy to welcome them up.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs almost my entire life. We offer a loving home near walking paths and parks. Also have neighbors with very friendly dogs if you allow play time I recently retired, and have an open schedule. My wife is allergic to cats and dogs, so any overnight stays, we recommend your dog is non-allergic and non-shedding If non overnight stays, and walks, a shedding dog is welcome. Our previous dog was a golden doodle, which we were fortunate to spend 12 glorious years Looking forward to spending time with your pet. We have a nice big fenced in yard for run around playtime’s, We know your pet is an extension of your family, and we will treat with utmost respect and care, fenced in yard offers a lot of exercise if your dog needs it. There is walking trails and 2 doggie parks if that is something your dog likes to do.

About: I'm an all-around animal lover and always have been. I grew up with dogs, bunnies, birds, turtles, guinea pigs and even had a snake. I currently am a fur-mom to Miley, a high-energy Rotty mix who has taught me how to handle dog-reactive dogs in many situations. I'm also fur-mom to Bubbles, my little holland lop love nugget. My time is flexible, as this is currently my only job. Care depends on your pets usual or desired schedule, and we go from there! I prefer to care for pets in your home for their comfort and safety, so they have an easier time getting to know me while surrounded by familiar things and routines. I can simply stop by for mid-day exercise and play sessions, walks, pickup and take to the park, or even do overnights that include some house sitting duties if thats what you need! And of course, I always make sure to send a reasonable amount of photos and/or text updates during your pets time with me :)

About: Great with kittens, puppies, small dogs and all cats. I own 1 cat, fostered 6cats and 1 dog. I grew up with 7 dogs so I’m used to all kinds but prefer smaller dogs. I’ve taken care of kittens and older cats so I understand cats needs or demands. I travel a lot so I’ll accept when I am available. I don’t like early mornings but would understand if that’s what the feeding schedule demands. I prefer if you book in advance m. I had a lot of dogs growing hi . The big dogs had crates, the small dogs and cats roamed freely. Walks twice a day for the big dogs and were allowed to roam the yard all night. They were fed on a schedule

About: Growing up in a house of animals, and having a small zoo of my own (2 dogs and 2 cats), I have a lot of experience taking care of animals. I have dog and cat sat for friends for years. I am currently available for Drop ins and Walks. I try to spend a bare minimum of 15 minutes with any drop in to make sure they get all the attention that they need. As the owner of a 15 lb dog and a 80 lb dog, I understand that all Walks aren't created equal. My Walks always vary based off of the needs of the dog. I am also an avid cat lover. I am more than happy to stop by and feed, clean the litter box, and snuggle/play with your feline friends. Currently I work full time on the West side of the cities, but I have Sundays and Mondays off to help with your animal needs. My hope is to expand my availability over time. My current weekend lines up with some weekdays. I spend most of those days out and about, so I'd love to check in on some cute animal while I am at it! Slow and steady is always best. I am a believer in letting animals come to you. I have experience with a kennel trained and unkennel trained dogs. As the owner of a 15 lb dog and a 80 lb dog, I am experienced in walking all sizes of dogs.

About: I care for each pet as if they were my own. I walk, run and play with them. I treat every pet like a friend, offering comfort, attention and emotional connection. I bathe my dog about every other month. We have a routine in the morning with a walk before breakfast. Sometimes a walk around lunch time and another one after work is done. He is well loved and treated like a family member. I work full time Monday through Friday. I am in my office 3 half days and full time at home the other 2 days. I could stop at someone’s place on my way home to spend time with a dog and walk them. I can also stop over after work and later in the evening. In my home I have a fenced in yard that my dog can run free and play. If I am in a clients home I would make sure that there is nothing that the dog/puppy could get into after spending time with them/walking them.

“Thank you for taking good care of my boys so I can have some “me” time!!!”

About: Hi there! I work fully remotely and would love to give all my attention and companionship to your best friend while you're away. I truly enjoy computer breaks for leashed walks through my dog-friendly neighborhood trails—it's the best part of the day! I’m still missing my sweet 15-year-old boy, Jax, who passed recently. Caring for dogs has always been second nature to me, and friends and family often trust me to look after their pups. I’d love to be that trusted person for you too. Whether it's a weekend getaway or a longer trip, your dog will be safe, loved, and well cared for with me. Available weekdays and weekends. Work from home weekdays 8~5. Up early and attentive to night time bathroom breaks. No fenced yard but lots of green areas and trails for long walks. Lots of room to roam with no kids or other animals at my place but can make it work to watch at your place if you need that accommodation. Dog friendly home with amenities to make your pet comfortable. Experience caring for dogs with anxiety and stomach issues too.

“Kristine does a great job with my dog. He can be stubborn or get scared on walks and want to go home. If that is the case she will stay and play with him in the backyard. But she also gets creative and communicates with me on strategies to get him to walk and it has worked. Overall great communication and very timely. Would recommend her to walk or care for your dog.”

I’m working part time and available almost always! i enjoy working out so the crazy animals don’t bother me at all! any time spent with animals is well spent.

“Summer is very genuine, timely and kind. She has been so great with our two dogs - one high energy JR pup and a soft of a pittie mix who is 9. They love their walks with her. We are grateful she’s so close and someone one we fully trust with our fur family.”

About: I’ve always grown up with a dog or two in the house. I’ve helped to take care of them ever since I was about 7 and I’ve helped train them since I was 18! Growing up I also dog sat and cat sat for our neighbors and friends. 4 years ago I adopted 2 cats and they are my whole world. Since then I’ve learned all about cat care including trimming nails and safe road trips with cats! I currently work four 8-hour shifts a week. Outside of that I’m available for your pet! I am home most evenings (may work 1/2 evening shifts a week). With 2 cats at home, I’ve learned to balance the play and feeding times before and after work so they are satisfied throughout the day. Following your specific wants and instructions is of upmost importance for me - you know your pet best!! While dog sitting, I like to make sure they are walked daily. I also value cat play time with their favorite toys.
