About: I love animals of all size and breeds, including yours! I'll be more than happy to take care of your fur babies while you are away from home. They will be well-fed and loved with accommodations being met as needed. I know how to administer medication as needed, so you won't need to worry about your fur baby not receiving anything while you are gone. I am currently working full-time from 6AM till 2:30PM Monday thru Friday. I may be able to compromise for the morning routine, but I can 100% say that I will be available all afternoons and evenings. Weekends are free days for me so I will be available at all hours of the day. I live in small rental with two cats and a medium sized dog so I will be unable to care for pets in my home.

About: Hello! I'm Glenn Peralta, a passionate animal lover with over 4 years of professional experience in pet care. My journey started with a simple love for animals and has grown into a full-fledged dog sitting business where I provide a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for your furry friends. I have a deep understanding of different breeds and their unique needs, and I am well-versed in handling all types of animals, not just dogs. My experience ranges from caring for energetic puppies to providing special care for senior dogs. I am also trained in basic pet first aid and CPR, ensuring your pet's safety is my top priority. My goal is to provide your pet with the same love and care they receive at home, making their time with me enjoyable and stress-free. I believe in building a personal connection with each pet, understanding their personality, and catering to their specific needs. Whether it's daily walks, playtime, or overnight stays, I am committed to providing the best care possible for your beloved pet. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member soon! Pet care is not just a part of my routine, it's my lifestyle. Being home daily allows me to dedicate my time and attention to the pets I care for. I ensure that every dog gets walked every two hours, providing them with regular exercise and a chance to explore the outdoors. In addition to regular walks, I also follow a structured daily routine that includes feeding, playtime, and rest periods. I understand that every pet is unique and may require different care routines, so I always make sure to follow the specific instructions provided by the owners. Moreover, I also set aside time each week for deep cleaning of pet areas, toys, and bedding to maintain a clean and healthy environment. In essence, pet care is seamlessly integrated into my daily and weekly routine, ensuring that your pet receives consistent and dedicated care while they are with me. I offer both in-home and client's home pet care services, and my approach varies depending on the service chosen. In my home, I have a dedicated space for pets where they can play, rest, and eat. I ensure that the environment is safe, clean, and comfortable for them. I follow a structured routine that includes regular walks, feeding according to the pet's diet, playtime, and rest. I also make sure to give them plenty of attention and love, just like they would receive at home. When caring for pets in a client's home, I respect their space and follow the routines that the pets are accustomed to. This includes feeding them at their usual times, walking them in their familiar neighborhood, and playing with their favorite toys. I also ensure to keep the home clean and tidy, especially the pet's area. In both scenarios, I prioritize communication with the pet owners. I provide regular updates about their pet's activities, behavior, and well-being. I am also always available to answer any questions or concerns they might have. My goal is to provide a stress-free experience for both the pet and the owner.

“Lily is great and Theo loves her! She came for a meet and greet before walking Theo. She’s on time and give really helpful photos and comments in the Rover card. I’ve definitely found Theo’s consistent”


About: I've been around animals my whole life, and love them dearly. I watch out for them like they are my own kids. I'm trustworthy and hard-working. I've lived with cats, hamsters, horses, a Golden Retriever, a Dalmatian (with pups!), and several mixed breed and smaller dogs throughout the years; and am looking forward to calling your little BFF a friend of mine too! I am a 38 year old mother of two. My daughter is 19, and my son is 14. We've lived in Madison for the past 11 years with our 3 cats. I work for Metro Schools, so Rover is a nice side-job especially during the breaks. I'm currently only doing drop-in visits for dogs as I had fleas brought in a couple of times that were passed onto other dogs. I'm sorry that I can't offer that service anymore, but I don't want to go through that again. I am also glad to keep (or do drop-in visits) for cats, rodents, and birds for a lower rate...also drop-ins for livestock, with the rate depending on the job. Dinosaurs are a little extra ;o) I just had a new baby and am on a leave of absence from my job with Metro Schools. I am available most any time for drop-in visits and walks. I will follow your instructions for their feeding and/or care and take the same precautions for their safety as I would take with my own pets.


“Kathy was great! Sadie loved her and she always sent me pictures when she was walking Sadie. Kathy gave my dog her medications and even questioned the dosage instructions that I had left her. As it turns out she was correct and I am grateful that she questioned it. This is the first time that I have used Kathy on Rover and I am hoping to to use her again!”


About: I’m the youngest of 5 kids, raised with large breed dogs since age 0. I feel perfectly comfortable around dogs of any size; they seem to feel equally comfortable around me. I can handle large and physical dogs without concern. I also have a soft spot in my heart for elderly dogs. I will love your dogs and at the end of the day, I’m doing this because animals make me happy! I’m currently looking for full time work after spending the last 13 months traveling the world with my wife following our wedding in 2024. I am an experienced chemical engineer looking for a new role in that sector. I will treat your dog as if it’s my own - I love being around animals literally all the time and am pretty flexible temperamentally - I can take your dog on a speed walk or lazily meander; it’s all the same to me!

About: I have been around animals since I was 9 my family loves dogs as much as I.

“Life saver! I had several walkers on another app cancel on me last minute. She was available and immediately accepted and got my pup ready to go so quickly!

About: I've been pet sitting since high school. I looked after the neighborhood pets until I graduated. I've been sitting in Tennessee since I moved here in 2011. I've also fostered dogs through various rescues. I'm a school teacher so I'm free most evenings and weekends. Once summer starts I'll be more flexible. I have a dog so I can only provide drop ins. I offer drop in visits for your pet. I'll be able to take them for walks and administer meds or refresh food and water for your pet.

About: I love animals, especially dogs. I'm wanting to start dog sitting and helping others out. I've always had dogs my entire life and they're my absolute favorite animal. We have a big fenced in yard so exercise and getting out will not be an issue. I will treat your furry friends as my own and will do my best to accommodate any special requests you may have. If your animal needs to be taken to any type of vet appointments while they are with me that will not be an issue either. I don't mind administering medicine or even if they just need a bath while they stay with me. Hope I can help you out! I have plenty of time to love and care for your fur baby! There are some hours during the day I'm unavailable, but I am very flexible. I am home most evenings and will be able to care for your pets with the love and care they deserve. I do have a fenced in backyard where they will be able to run around. My two dogs get a long great with others. My children are older and love to play with dogs as well!

“Jasmine is great. She takes our dog for a walks but also takes extra time to make sure he had drank water and gone to the bathroom. She sends us nice photos from his walks and also little notes about how his walks went. She is a good communicator and easy to work with. Highly recommended!”


About: I’ve been a dog owner my entire life! I grew up with a dog that I took care of a lot, and now I have my own dog as an adult. I adore dogs and am super comfortable with bathing, walking, playing with, and administering meds to dogs. I work from home so I am quite flexible with my schedule! I walk my dog every day, provided the weather is not too stormy or brutally hot. I spend the majority of my days with my dog, and would love to extend my care to other dogs. I am patient with dogs and always pay attention to their cues. I always keep the owner update with what is happening as well! I take care of other dogs like I would take care of my baby!

Chelsea P.

“Chelsea has a long history of being an animal lover and wonderful caregiver. She's entrusted to watch all her loved ones pets whenever needed, and does so with the same care and attention one hopes to find in anyone entrusted with their children. These are traits she's naturally and effortlessly passed onto her own children as well; teaching them the same love, care, and respect for critters early. She understands the importance of knowing how to care for any living entity based on the individual. You can't get better than that when it comes to the care for your friend and family. Highly recommended!”
