About: There hasn’t been a time in my life where I didnt have a furry friend by my side. Growing up with pets has taught me how to properly care for & tend to an animal’s needs. I love being able to match the animal’a energy while also ensuring the safety & health of the pet - that is my main priority. I am new to Rover, but I am looking forward to meeting new furry friends in this new community! I work from home on Thursdays & Fridays, and am available most weekends. Also, after work hours on Mondays through Wednesdays are fairly open as well. If I am unavailable, Sophie works 7am-2pm shifts or 2pm-7pm shifts only. Also, Sophie works weekends occasionally, but she is only a short ways away from the apartment! Our rates are the same as well. I live with my partner (Sophie) and we both have grown up with multiple animals in the home. We provide a very caring and welcoming environment for all animals. My partner and I are extremely gentle and attentive, and we find significant importance in building trust with the pets that we come across. I am willing to provide pet care in clients' homes as well as my partner & I’s space -we would love to have a furry friend in our home! Furthermore, I believe it is extremely essential to communicate with owners, and ask as needed to confirm that I am complying with and following the detailed care instructions. My partner & I want the animals to thrive in a stress-free environment. Also, we prioritize safety by keeping our home free of hazards that we know our furry friends can sometimes get a hold of undoubtedly! Additionally, I make sure to leave other’s homes as clean and organized as I found it, treating the environment with the same care and respect I would my own.
“Nick was very communicative, professional, and timely. He took great care of our 4 year old German shepherd and kindly arranged for a meet and greet per my request to go over instructions beforehand. I will definitely be asking for assist with more dog walking from Nick in the future!”
“Jana has been fantastic with my elderly dog! She has been very reliable about coming at our agreed-upon time on my one long day away from the house. She gives my elderly dog her meal and takes her for a nice walk around the neighborhood. Jana sends cute photos and summaries of her visit which allow me to feel confident that my girl is being well looked after!”
“Leanne did a wonderful job dropping in on our 75 pound pup while we were gone for the night. Sent lots of pictures and updates, which was super helpful. He didn’t want her to leave! Would have her come by again anytime”
“Kathleen was very flexible in scheduling the walks, and our puppy loves her! She is reliable and sent very nice updates of the walk. Would recommend her to anybody!”
About: Growing up we always had a house full of pets, mainly dogs and cats with the occasional lizard or guinea pig. The house has never really felt like a home without someone furry coming to greet me at the door. Whenever the parents were away I was in-charge of the pet care and would occasionally dog sit friends and family pets. We've had it all from big to small dogs, curly and fluffy so I am comfortable with all shapes and sizes. My current living situation doesn't allow for pets so getting a few hours to take care of your furry friends would be a dream. I mainly work from home and can bring my work with me so I have availability to walk/play the majority of the day. I'm happy to do overnight stays during the week and we can work out weekend visits. I'm comfortable with any environment your pet is accustomed to whether that be crates, fenced in yard or dog parks. I always ensure that leashes are on before opening the door and any harnesses are placed correctly.
About: I am an active individual who loves caring for animals and spending time with them! I have had two dogs in my life and have always been attentive to their needs. I just graduated from undergrad and will be starting my masters in counseling this fall while working part time, too. I manage my time well! I care for pets in clients home by being respectful of the fact that this is not my house. I am being trusted to care for a pet in someone else’s home and I take that very seriously.
“Juliana did a very nice job walking Terra. She helped me out when I had a knee problem. Terra liked her very much. I would recommend her. Note: she doesn’t like early morning walks.”

About: I have personally trained and raised my own 2 dogs over the last 4 years. I have a knack for dog care and love all dogs. I am a collegiate athlete with tons of energy, this will insure your pup can get plenty of exercise! I have afternoons/ nights free for dog care. I have work from 5am-1pm weekdays and have the entire rest of the day on mon-fri to care for your dog(s). Weekends are week to week depending on my various schedules. No in home stays so safety measures will be dependent on your home. I am available for any requests you might have specifically for your dog.

“Ashlee was excellent! Skully loves her. She always provides a short summary of how the walk went and has always been on time. Highly recommend”
Steven & Sophia O.
“Sophie is the only person I would ever trust with any of my animals. She is compassionate, responsible, hard working, and will ensure that your pets will feel safe and protected while you’re away. In other words, Sophie is god when it comes to taking care of pets. She is an animal whisperer. Some may even say this is one of her most endearing qualities. It’s like she is telepathically connected to animals. I once saw her have a full blown conversation using only indiscernible sounds with my dog. It was quite impressive. You should really consider her to watch over your pet, you won’t regret it… and neither will your animal.”
