About: I’m a passionate, reliable pet caregiver with over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for animals. I grew up surrounded by pets and have turned that lifelong love into a career, working with pet families, in pet retail at stores. I understand that every pet has a different personality, routine, and comfort level. Whether your dog loves long walks and playtime or prefers a calm, patient companion, I’ll provide attentive, loving care and treat them like part of my own family. I have a lot of spare time on my hands so I could use that time to care for your pet! I am your pet Nannie around the corner. I have experience dog walking, so I understand how it goes. I also have lots of experience playing with pets. I have a huge passion for pets

About: Both of my parents are veterinarians, so I’ve grown up around animals all my life! I have basic animal care skills (walks, feeding, playing) and the extra ones too (animal body language, toxic vs nontoxic foods/materials, giving medication)! I have two cats myself, and have taken care of family and friends’ dogs for years. I’m currently working part time and have a flexible schedule, which means I have plenty of time to play with and visit your pets! I prioritize safety for your pet! I understand that I will be someone unfamiliar coming to the home, and will make sure to let your pet lead the way in our interactions.
About: I have had cats, dogs, and fish for the past 15 years. I have boarded, walked, and sat many animals including the ones listed above. I have also done feedings and administering medications. I always like to get detailed notes and a walk through of the care you need so the pets are well taken care of throughout my time with them. I am currently open to any times and days. I am in school and am doing it completely online and asynchronous. I can work with you separately to figure out the best schedule. I am always wanting a walk through and detailed sheet of paper describing schedules and everything I need to know. I will also send frequent updates including pictures. I have administered medications before and ask to be shown how to administer so they don’t miss a day.
About: I am reliable, flexible, and energetic, and know what your pet needs to be well cared for and happy. I can even train if needed. I work full time during the day, but not far from home, so I can swing over anywhere first thing in morning, at lunch, dinner time, and bed time. I can feed, check on, let out, and walk pet breakfast, lunch, dinner, and/or bed time during the week, and on weekends, anytime day or night!

About: I live near a walking trail for those that like a nice stroll, or for those that don’t I also have a few comfy couches to relax on. As a foster pet parent, I’m familiar with providing medications if needed. I typically work from home and am able to care for your pet while you’re away. My cats are friendly and use to foster cats so they’ll either play with your cat our leave them be. No matter what, your cat will not be alone. My home has multiple floors with large litter boxes on each floor, there is plenty of space and lots to explore. We have different dietary needs for our cats so I can definitely accommodate any specific dietary needs.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all breeds and size's. Friends, neighbors, and family often rely on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets while they’re away. I’m comfortable with senior dogs, energetic puppies, and pets with special routines. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or overnight care, I always treat every pet like my own. I currently have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide morning, midday, and evening visits during the week. Weekends are open for walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays. I’m responsible, communicative, and happy to provide updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in great hands. I live in a pet-friendly apartment that’s clean, safe, and comfortable for your furry friend. I take frequent walks and make sure pets get plenty of exercise and attention throughout the day. I’m very mindful of leash safety, secure entrances, and keeping pets calm in new environments. Whether your dog loves outdoor strolls or prefers cozy naps, I make sure they feel happy, safe, and cared for.
About: I was raised on a farm, w/ a healthy love, & respect for all animals. I have experience w/ animals large & small, from horses, sheep, & goats, to dogs, & cats. I especially enjoy raising & training dogs, as they thrive on, & readily return unconditional trust & love. I currently own a 14 yr. old Westie, named Blizzard, bought as a family Christmas gift, to teach my children how to properly care for, & train a puppy/dog. I have walked dogs, & dog/cat-sat for many friends, as they have full confidence in knowing I will care for their homes & pets, as I do my own, responsibly & lovingly. My schedule is quite flexible, as I currently work from home, & want to supplement my income, doing something I'll truly enjoy, spending quality time w/ your furry friends, when you can't. My schedule is wide open, in hopes of acquiring, & prioritizing repeat/long-term clients, but not necessarily set schedules, & most often available for occasional, or emergency visits/walks, as well. I am available early morning to early evening, given ample notice of cancellation (8-12 hrs.), so to maintain other career obligations. I look forward to meeting fellow pet lovers, and your furry friends! I'm very active, greatly enjoy the outdoors, & not terribly averse to inclement weather, so more than happy to visit, walk, & play, rain, snow, or shine, whether around the yard, the block, or at the nearest park. I'm proud to say, my friends would describe me as friendly, trustworthy, & dependable, so you will also have full confidence in knowing I will respect your home, & care for your pets, as I do my own, responsibly, & lovingly. I look forward to making new pet pals, & hope to see you soon! Pet care has become my primary work, over the past few years, while caring for my elderly grandparents. I'm proud to be my own boss, & to be able to do what I love, spending time w/ animals, treating them w/ love & affection, as I would my own. I have plenty of space, indoor or outdoor, to walk, run, & play, on leash, or happy to take a ride, to the nearest dog park, to run freely, & socialize w/ other pups. Your Pet, your rules! Just let me know how you'd like/prefer our time be spent, together.

Great and trustworthy! They have taken care of my cats twice now and I always come home to happy cats, with wonderful updates and prompt communication in between! They even brought my mail and a package inside so that I was worry-free while away. Highly recommend.
Beyond grateful that I connected with Lauren and Lauren, and they could help with our cat while our entire family traveled together. Communication is always quick, clear, and helpful. They flagged every visit, and kept me updated with all the details from each house visit for our cat. Will absolutely keep them at the top of the list for any future needs!

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.

Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.
