I highly recommend Odalys! She has been absolutely amazing with my dog, and he loves spending time with her. From the very first walk, I could tell she has a real passion for animals and goes above and beyond to make sure he’s well taken care of. She's always on time, reliable, and keeps me updated with cute photos and notes. My dog gets so excited when he sees her, and I know he’s in great hands. Couldn’t ask for a better dog walker!

About: My family has rescued animals my whole life, and I have worked with all kinds of animals professionally since my very first job at a dog groomer. Since then, I've spent most of my time working at emergency animal vets, with foster dogs, and at doggie daycare! I love working with all species of animals and will treat yours just like my own! I'm here to make sure your pets feel happy, loved, and safe while you're away. I currently have a pretty open schedule and am looking to care for pets full time. I can easily do late nights and early mornings! When I stay in your home, I stick closely to your pet's normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure. I'll make sure they're fed on time, exercised, and getting lots of attention (and cuddles if they want them!) I pay close attention to each pet's needs and act accordingly. I pride myself on being dependable and having strong communication skills. I will always keep you updated with messages and pictures so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.

About: 23 years of dedication & genuine love for what I do. I've pretty much done it all except for training. Primarily grooming but also have extensive experience with walking, boarding, day care, home/vacation visits & house sits. I've been a home groomer for the past 8 years but due to allergies, need to switch modes. Over those years I regularly attended workshops & seminars to continue to educate myself & hone my craft. Including certification courses in puppy handling, senior care, proper sanitization, business compliance, skin assessment, & CPR. This only means I have been educated on these subjects, I am not an expert. As mentioned, I was a home groomer so I'll be turning my grooming room into an area for daycare/boarding. I am home based and plan to stay that way. Pets in my home will have a designated area for eating & sleeping but will have freedom to walk about for the most part. I have a large, fenced back yard with plenty of space to run & play. The yard will be the primary potty area. Walks are available for an added charge. Caring for pets in the clients home will be based on the instructions given by owner.

About: Being a bunny owner, I take a very patient approach towards each animal I am caring for. I prefer to know their habits and quirks before I begin our journey of knowing each other. I pay very close attention to each animals body language and move forwards based on that. Growing up I was extremely obsessed with my families dogs and cats. My first pet was a grey cockatiel bird that I rescued, shortly after I got my first yellow lab. Ever since, I have been very involved in taking care of many of my family or friends pets while they are away. I have taken care of extremely small puppies, fish, birds, bunnies, and cats, to nervous, and anxious big labs ! I heavily enjoy spending time next to a furry creature and I even have a bunny of my own named Diva. She has been a very long lesson in attention to attitude when it comes to handling an animal. I am more than available during the day or night to take care of any animal, I do not have a current job so I am free during awkward hours. I make sure to follow the directions my clients have left for me, I often ask more information on the personality of the animal so I understand our boundaries !

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 7 years old. I’ve raised many puppies and taken care of them into their senior days. I’ve provided pure love, safety, care, and tons of cuddles with many many many doggies. My own throughout my entire life, and for many friends, neighbors, family, and clients. My schedule is pretty open and flexible right now. So I’d have all the time to give your pups all my time and attention. Availability 7 days a week. I have a fenced yard. A safety gate blocking the stairs to the basement so no little doggies that might have trouble slipping on stairs can get to them or the basement. A dogs safety is always my utmost priority.

About: Hello! My name is Monica and I’m 26 years old. I have lived with both cats and dogs my whole life. I work at an Animal Hospital and my passion is to care for animals. My dog (Akita) passed away a few years ago, he lived 14 long and incredible years and survived two cancers. I recently lost my cat of 16 years as well, she unfortunately had kidney failure and thyroid disease. I miss them every day. I currently have two rescued cats that mean the world to me. I would love to get the chance to meet and care for your pets. I believe this would help me feel fulfilled and bring some light back into my life. I have connections to vets and would make sure your baby is always safe. I have a heart filled with love ready to give to your little or big four legged family member. I work part time and have a love for animals. Working at the vet allows me to provide a healthy lifestyle for your pet. I am not ready to adopt my own dog just yet as I’m still grieving so being able to take care of your fur babies brings light back into my life! I live in a safe neighborhood and have a fenced yard with a few nearby parks. I have two very lovable cats, but I have a two story house and can easily separate the pets. I would love your pet just like my own.

About: I've had dogs most of my adult life. My first dog was a neighbors dog, she couldn't care for the dog any longer and I agreed to take the dog in my home. I have fed and cared for bird, cats and dogs when family and friend were on vacation. I work two days out of the month, therefore, I have more than enough time to play, walk and cuddle with pets in my care. I have a fenced in yard where dogs can go out and play. I am not strict with pets unless there is a certain rule the owner wants me to apply to there pet.

About: I have loved animals my whole life and have experience caring for pets of different kinds. Back in Ukraine, I have a cat named Kuzya who is still very dear to me and whom I miss every day. I was responsible for his daily care, feeding, cleaning the litter box, and making sure he felt safe and comfortable. Growing up, I also had a dog (a Jagdterrier), a parrot, and a hamster, so I understand the needs of both energetic and small pets. I am comfortable with walking dogs, playing with them, feeding, giving fresh water, and providing calm companionship for cats. Although I don’t currently have pets in the U.S., I truly miss being around animals. That’s one of the main reasons I joined Rover — I would love to spend time caring for pets and giving them attention, love, and reliable care while their owners are away. I am responsible, organized, patient, and I will always treat your pet as if they were my own. Due to my college schedule, I am available on Mondays and Wednesdays around midday. On Saturdays, I may have availability depending on the time. I am not available on Sundays. On Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, I may have availability with advance notice. I am flexible when scheduled ahead of time and always do my best to accommodate your pet’s need. Please feel free to message me to confirm availability. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully and make sure pets feel safe and comfortable. I securely attach leashes during walks, double-check doors, and never leave pets unattended. I respect your home and treat your pet with patience, care, and attention.

Elizabeth is a wonderful and consistent dog walker. She has been caring for my dog, Lily, for several weeks now and is always timely, communicative, and reliable. Most importantly, she genuinely cares about Lily, and it’s clear the feeling is mutual. Lily absolutely adores her, and I have complete peace of mind knowing she’s in such loving and capable hands.
