About: Hi! I've spent my life caring for and loving kitties and pups! I have 4 years of experience in the pet care industry working at pet boarding facilities. I have experience with pretty much every breed of kitty and pup! I've worked with elderly babies and puppies and kittens! I have done light training and administered vaccinations (I am not authorized to administer vaccines to your animals). If you'd like more info on my experience and work ethic feel free to ask me about my references! I'm offering walkings and check-ins. As well as adventures for your precious babies while you're away! I can do cleaning, feeding, and administer meds. I can also do basic grooming if your pup gets a little nasty on our adventures. I have 2 kitties myself and two pups (Australian Shepherd mix). So I understand how important it is to make sure you have someone with integrity and experience to care for your babies! I am currently a part-time student so I have plenty of time to care for your baby. My schedule is flexible so I can make accommodations per your babies needs. Your pet is happiest at home, so I am willing to travel to you to care for your baby. We can go for a walk in your neighborhood or I can take your pup on an adventure to a local park/hiking trails depending on your needs.

“Nichole is amazing!! We first did a meet and greet with her, and from the moment we met her, we knew she’d be a great fit! She’s super friendly, and her flexible schedule has been a blessing to us! Our dogs absolutely love her, and she takes great care of them while we’re gone. We feel like she is completely trustworthy, and can’t wait to have her care for our dogs next time!!”


“Danielle is wonderful! Would ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND!!! I’m a traveling nurse with a mini Aussie who isn’t a fan of being cooped up all day so Danielle was a god send for Pi and I. She’s very adjusting to schedule and times and is always there when we need her no matter the day of the week. She treats Pi as her own and we cannot recommend her enough! Dependable, reliable, trustworthy, loving, caring, playful, and just all around amazing! We LOVE Danielle!”


About: I care for lots of puppies, elderly dogs that need extra medical care, puppies that are potty training and also dogs that are extremely shy and not usually good with other dogs I work from home so your baby will get non stop attention! Very flexible job and also schedule to run in and out to go potty, on a walk or play. I will love on your babies with everything I have! I am reliable, trustworthy, and flexible. I wish I could have a dog of my own, but due to frequent traveling, it’s sadly not the right time for me. I love having the opportunity through Rover. Any and all instructions you leave for me will be followed with the utmost care to keep your little buddy happy!

“Sabrina did an awesome job with coming over while I was away from home and taking my Cavapoo puppy on a walk! She came over a few days prior to the scheduled walk for a meet and greet which really put me at ease since it was my first time using Rover. Sabrina was prompt and great with communication! I will definitely be a repeat customer!”

“Kyleigh is the best. She is flexible- our family appreciates because our schedules are crazy but she’s willing to make it work where she can. I trust her completely in my home and with my dog and cat. She is someone you can trust, count on, and will be exceptionally kind and loving with your pets. I would t hesitate to recommend Kyleigh.”


About: With over a decade of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and energy levels, I bring a calm, confident presence that pets (and their owners) can trust. Whether it’s a long walk, playtime in the yard, or overnight pet sitting, I treat every dog like my own—with patience, love, and lots of belly rubs! I’ve worked with senior pups, energetic puppies, and everything in between. You can count on me for reliable care, daily updates, and a happy, wagging tail at the end of the day. My job is extremely flexible—I mostly work from home and have the freedom to take frequent breaks throughout the day. That means I can easily fit in walks, playtime, feedings, and check-ins without any disruption to your pet’s routine. Whether it’s a midday stroll or some extra attention during the day, I’m able to give pets the consistent care and companionship they need. Having animals around actually makes my day better, and I love incorporating pet care into my daily schedule! I focus on maintaining their normal routine in a familiar environment. I follow your instructions closely—whether it's feeding schedules, medication, walk times, or bedtime routines—to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. I treat every home with respect, keeping things tidy and secure, and making sure your pet gets plenty of attention, affection, and companionship. From morning walks to nighttime snuggles, I’m there to provide consistent care and keep your pet’s stress to a minimum. I also send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that everything is going smoothly.

About: I am a cat and dog mom. I've grown up with cats all my life, and I've had dogs for the last few years as well. I have also regularly watched my past roommate's dog and cat and have pet sit professionally for friends and clients. Aside from cats and dogs, I also have experience watching fish and bearded dragons. I am a hybrid worker, so I am in the office for 2 days a week for 8 hours. Otherwise, I'll be working remotely, and there's always the possibility of my switching around my in office days to be more present! I want to know your pets routine, rules, and likes and dislikes so that I can ensure they are comfortable and happy with me and that I am taking care of them just as their parent(s) desire. It's so important to ensure I'm caring for other people's pets as they would.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 15 years old. I don’t just walk dogs- I turn every stroll into their favorite part of the day! I’m currently working full time during the week, so I am looking for something with flexible hours on weekends that allows me to make some extra money. I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality—whether that means fetch in the backyard, a quiet snuggle on the couch, or just someone to keep them company. I create a safe, loving environment where pets feel relaxed and engaged. I’ll send lots of photos and updates so you can enjoy your time away without worry!
