About: I have had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember. I've housetrained three of my own [all of which are happily old man living around the country], enjoy long walks on the through parks and giving belly rubs that last eternity. I also, surprisingly enough, do not mind giving dogs their bathes in between grooming visits [if they get those pampering spa days to themselves, of course]. Brushing, playing fetch, and of course - tug of war reign supreme. But so does chilling on the couch watching the Puppy-Bowl or dog show with a fuzzy little space heater wedged between me and the arm of the couch. If I were to be reincarnated, I would definitely choose a dog. They just have the life. **I do work full time\ in Plains, PA from 6:30am - 3:30pm. I have to go home and rescue my senior dog from his crate for a bit of a stretch and dinner before I really do anything else Monday - Friday. But I am available on the weekend! I play Dungeons and Dragons on Friday and Saturday nights!** I work during the week, and I play dungeons and dragons on the weekends. But I am more than happy to do some drop-ins or walks during the day on Saturdays and Sundays to let you have more out and about time! Drop-in visits and walks rely on a good relationship between visitor (me) and the animal that is being walked or visited. They get easier over time, and everyone loves making new friends!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was little and I even watched my puppy grow into a senior dog! I have owned 5 dogs in my entire life all different shape and size:) medium small big! I love them all:) I’m available any day, i absolutely love working with animals. When im not working I’m taking care of my fur babies and I love doing that. I’m very good with noticing body language with animals, and when they need food/water. I understand animals need time to get to trust someone! Some don’t but it’s okay lol:>

“Ann was amazing! Took great care of Sweetie. We will definitely request her services again.”

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life starting with a family pet grooming business. Beyond that I’ve cared for family and friends dogs as needed. My two most common pups I take care of are a golden doodle and cattle dog mix. I work from home full time, which means I can do early morning (done by 8:30 am), lunch time (approx 11-1) and evening visits (after 5:30 pm). On weekends I’m available more time slots. If you’re unsure if I can fit your needs just ask! I have experience doing feeding, potty breaks on a leash, as well as in fenced in yards. The more detail/instructions you provide on care needed the better I can provide that. I am and will continue to be respectful of your dog and your property. If you have any specific questions please let me know.

“Aubriana was really great with my dog. Aside from walking, he takes meds twice a day and she was able to do that for him as well. He has a lot of energy during the first 15-20 mins of his walk and she was able to handle him just fine. She also kept me posted on when she arrived/walked/left. I would use her again.”

“Kaitlyn took good care of my pet and he loves her. Definitely will be using her again!”

About: ​Hi, I’m Tamera! I run Happy Howls Daycare and Walkies, where I bring over 11 years of professional pet care experience to every visit. ​One of my favorite aspects of this work is puppy care and foundational training. I understand the patience and consistency required for young dogs—from reinforcing potty schedules to working on basic leash manners and socialization. Whether you have a high-energy pup or a senior dog who needs a gentle pace, I tailor my care to their specific life stage. ​You’ll notice my last Rover review was in 2017; since then, I have been operating as a self-employed pet care provider for private clients. I’m returning to Rover now to meet new families and share my decade-plus of expertise with your furry friends. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and dedicated to making sure every "howl" is a happy one! As a professional pet care provider, my daily and weekly schedule is designed entirely around the needs of my furry clients. Because I manage Happy Howls Daycare and Walkies as my primary focus, I am able to offer a high level of flexibility and dedicated attention that fits into a structured routine: ​Morning Energy (7:00 AM – 10:00 AM): My day starts early with morning 'potty breaks' and active walks. This is the prime time for puppies who are working on their training and need consistent outdoor reinforcement first thing in the morning. ​Mid-Day Adventures (11:00 AM – 3:00 PM): This block is dedicated to my core walking routes and daycare guests. I schedule midday visits to ensure dogs get their much-needed exercise and socialization while their owners are at work. ​Afternoon Wind-Down (4:00 PM – 6:00 PM): I focus on late-afternoon walks and feeding schedules. For daycare pups, this is a time for calm play and getting them ready for their evening transition back home. ​Seven-Day Availability: While my busiest days are Monday through Friday, I am also available for weekend 'walkies' and daycare by request. This ensures that whether it’s a standard work week or a busy weekend, your pet has a consistent and familiar face to look forward to. ​Throughout the day, I maintain a very organized schedule. I make sure to leave plenty of time between visits so I am never rushed, allowing me to give each dog my full attention, work on training cues, and send plenty of photo updates to you. When your pet stays with me, my home becomes their second home. I focus on creating a calm, structured environment where they can feel secure while you’re away." ​Safety First: I maintain a 'paws-on-the-floor' policy for greetings to keep excitement levels manageable, especially for puppies in training. My home is fully pet-proofed to ensure a hazard-free stay. ​Routine & Structure: I mirror your dog's home routine as closely as possible—including specific feeding times, nap schedules, and any 'house rules' you have in place. ​Supervised Socialization: If multiple dogs are present, interactions are always 100% supervised. I use my experience to read body language and ensure every pup feels comfortable and respected. ​Cleanliness: I maintain high sanitation standards to keep everyone healthy and happy. ​In Your Home: Walkies & Drop-Ins ​"My goal for home visits is to provide high-quality care while leaving your home exactly as I found it—with the addition of a very happy dog!" ​Secure Entry & Exit: I am extremely diligent with home security. I double-check that all doors and gates are locked and that security systems are reset upon my departure. ​The Walk Experience: Safety is my priority on 'walkies.' I use sturdy leashes, avoid high-traffic or 'unpredictable' areas, and keep a close eye on the pavement temperature and weather conditions. ​Puppy/Senior Care: For clients at your home, I customize the visit. For puppies, this includes cleaning any accidents and reinforcing potty training; for seniors, it may involve gentle mobility assistance or administering medication. ​Detailed Check-ins: You will receive a Rover card after every visit with a summary of the walk, 'business' handled, and a few high-quality photos of your pet’s adventures.

“Toni is awesome. On our first meet you would tell how caring she was and patient. We have a senior dog who needs special care and right away we knew Toni was the perfect fit. Our old lady is very receptive to her and Toni has gone above and beyond to give her the time and attention she needs.”

About: I am currently a part-time Professional Dog Bather , working hands on with dogs of all kinds. With a safety certification and training, I work to ensure the safety and comfort of every dog under my care is always a priority. I was previously an Assistant Manager at Camp Bow Wow, a daycare, boarding, and grooming facility, supervising large and small dogs of all breeds for 2 years. I have been caring for animals for as long as I can remember, whether it be my own dogs and cats, or pets of family, friends, and neighbors. I have years of experience with walking, feeding, and watching over dogs and cats alike on a regular basis. I have spent most of my life dedicating much time, care, and love to any animal around me! I have experience sitting puppies as young as 3 months that I have participated in with training. I also had a senior dog of my own. I am comfortable and experienced with a wide range of breeds. I am aiming to go to be a dog groomer and would love to add to my experience! In 2023 I shadowed a Vet Doctor and Vet Tech at a clinic for two weeks, where I was able to witness and learn about various surgeries and basic health checkups. I assisted the team with care for both cats and dogs. I was Pet First Aid and CPR certified for 3 years. I am currently working a flexible schedule and have much time to dedicate to pet sitting and helping out some pet parents! I keep my calendar on my profile updated. I am very attentive to dogs needs. I will make sure your pet receives the attention and care that it requires. I am willing to crate the dog if needed. I will make sure they are active and have fun, while being safe. I can assure kindness and patience will be showed your pet. I can work in a variety of environments, and alongside other pets.

About: I have a Bachelors of Science in Animal Science from Michigan State University and previously work as a Receptionist for a Veterinary Hospital as I am familiar with companion animal health and nutrition, as well as first aid. I have a Miniature Australian Shepherd of my own that I enjoy staying active with through hiking and teaching her new tricks. I also own a horse and occasionally take care of the horses that are kept in the barn with him by feeding, turning in, blanketing, and cleaning stalls for them. I also enjoy cooking, writing, and lounging around watching Netflix. I have a lot of experience caring for dogs and cats of many different breeds and personalities from Rottweilers to Shitzu's. From Persians to domestic shorthairs. I have experience with exotics that range from chameleons to rabbits as well. You name it, I’ve probably cared for it! I currently work remote Monday-Friday. Dog walking and pet care would be a great way to break up the mundane part of the week and allow me to get out more. Although I have an unfenced yard for my Australian Shepherd, all dogs will be kept on a leash for potty breaks. They will also get a walk on my lunch break and plenty of toys to play with. If in your home I am sure to spend time with them and make sure they are secure and receive very little disruption to their normal routine.

About: I love animals and have worked with them over the past 10 years. I managed a dog boarding facility for 6 years I know all the ins and outs of taking care of animals especially dogs. I've worked with all types of dog breeds I've volunteered at shelters since I was a kid and always enjoyed caring for the animals. I've been grooming dogs for about 10 years as well. I'm currently working part time so I have plenty of time to dog sit or walk your pup. Monday and Tuesday I work 8am-2pm Thursday and Friday I work 8am-4 I make sure that they have plenty of water and go out enough to the bathroom. I give them their food at scheduled times and cookies if allowed. I make sure to be very careful when going in and out of homes so no dog can run away. I am also very careful when walking that they are safe. When watching them in a yard I play with them plenty and I make sure they don't eat anything they aren't supposed to as well as indoors. If they show signs of any health problems I make sure to let the owner know immediately and take them to the vet or give medicine if needed. I also pet and give plenty of affection and love to dog.
