About: I love animals but have no fur babies of my own. So I really enjoy showering other people's pets with all the attention and scritches I have to give! I have taken care of all kinds of dogs; from chihuahuas to newfoundlands, puppies to seniors, beautiful mutts to regal standard poodles. I am self employed and typically don't work while I'm pet sitting, which gives me lots of flexibility and frees up my time for your fur babies. I stay with animals in their homes so they feel the most comfortable they can while their people are away. I'm fine with animals sleeping in bed with me if that's what their used to as well.
About: Hello, I’m Jan! As the dog mom of two precious high energy dogs , I believe that a tired dog is a happy dog! ( & happy owner ) i would love to give your pup the perfect mix of exercise, mental stimulation, and affection while you are busy or away. If your dog is a high energy pup who loves a long walk & a game of fetch or a senior dog who prefers a gentle sniff and walk to explore the neighborhood, I am available to tailor every outing to their unique pace and personality. I am a NICU nurse who works long shifts and completely understands the trouble of leaving your dog alone for a while and would love to help others with that burden & dog parent guilt :-) I have a predictable work schedule up to 6 weeks in advance which makes it easy to work around other people’s schedule! I enjoy spending time outside ( even in the rainy season ) so I’m available pretty much all day on my days off from work! I personally have reactive dogs so safety is always my absolute priority. During walks I keep the dog on a secure, standard leash (no retractables for safety) and maintain full situational awareness of our surroundings. I never allow strange dogs to approach. For house visits, I double check that all doors and gates are securely locked when entering and leaving, and I always ensure your pet has fresh water and a safe space to relax before I depart. As a NICU nurse I am able to stay calm and act immediately In the rare event of an emergency My first step is to secure the pet to prevent further risk or injury. You will immediately be contacted as well as your preferred veterinarian. If it is a time sensitive issue, I will contact Rover's 24/7 Trust & Safety Support team for immediate backup and vet guidance while keeping you updated every step of the way.
“I’ve used Megan many times. She has great communication, is knowledgeable about animals and cares about your pet. I have a young puppy that she’s taken on numerous walks and she has been patient and helped him learn good habits. Megan then gives me great tips on how to continue to help my pup.”

About: For my entire life, I’ve always had an animal in the house! Fish, Lizards, Cats, Dogs, Hamsters, Guinea Pigs — if you can name it, I’ve probably had it or done extensive research on their care. I have hand raised kittens from birth and dogs from when they were very young, and take great pride in my care for them. Additionally, I’ve been pet-sitting for over a year and currently work as a Professional Pet Bather. I’m a part time student who’s also working part time as a Pet Bather. My favorite part of my days is being able to come back to pets, whether they’re my own or yours. I absolutely love the company and being able to provide love and care! While I don’t offer boarding services, I am happy to drop in and look after your furry companions as needed. I am experienced with recognizing animal’s body language along with senior care for pets & am determined to provide a safe, comfortable experience for everyone involved.
About: Growing up on a farm, I learned early on that caring for dogs is a full-time commitment. My experience ranges from managing active outdoor dogs to raising and training new additions to the pack. I specialize in teaching foundational behaviors and ensuring every dog feels confident and secure in their surroundings. I am dedicated to creating a safe, structured environment where your pet can thrive. Whether it’s managing high energy or providing a calm space for relaxation, I treat every dog with the same level of care and attention I’ve practiced since childhood. Pet care is a natural and seamless part of my daily life. Because I work remotely, I have the flexibility to provide consistent supervision and companionship throughout the day, rather than just in the mornings or evenings. Whether I am hosting at my place or visiting yours, my priority is maintaining a safe and consistent routine that minimizes stress for your pet. Regardless of the location, I emphasize clear communication and will send regular updates so you know exactly how your pet is settling in.

About: I’ve been around animals since I was young. I’ve been personally taking care of animals consistently for 3 years. I’m also known for training puppies too. I’m currently working part time, so I’ll have plenty of time to watch and walk your pets anytime from 2pm from then on. I’m available all day on weekends.

About: I've been animal lover my entire life, and I've been taking care of animals just as long, from watching relatives pets to petsitting for neighbors, and even now working at a pet boarding service. The only pets I currently own are a lovely torbie calico named Stella, a peach-faced lovebird named Tar, and a small tank of fish, which means that I have PLENTY of love to offer your pets ♥️. My experience with animals covers many pet types and needs, including senior dogs needing medications and grooming, puppies needing basic training, shy cats, and even baby birds, so I'm willing to work with just about any animals situation. I currently work 4-5 days a week in the afternoon-evenings at a pet boarding facility, with Wednesdays and Saturdays consistently open and other days varying. On the days I am scheduled, I am generally available before (10:30am-1pm) or after (after 10pm) work for walks/drop ins, and will accept overnight sittings on a case by case basis. I follow any pet care instructions provided to me as close as possible, to avoid interrupting the pets schedule when they're likely already stressed. I can also send pictures and/or updates on any pets at the owners request!

I am pretty free every weekday after 2:30 pm. Saturdays are dependent on whether we have games or not. I available all day on Sundays. I care for my pets by taking them on walks, spending quality time with them, ensuring they have a clean and safe living environment at all times. If we go on walks, I choose routes that are safe and not on busy streets.
“I had Rayann walk my dog for 3 days while I was camping and my husband was working. She came 1x a day at the times I needed (which varied day to day). She met my dog in our home before taking the job and took notes and asked questions. She provided photos and maps of her walks (which may be common, but I’m new to Rover so it was a delightful surprise for me). She was very communicative and our dog was a happy girl. I would recommend Rayann and would have her watch our 2 year old pup again.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Orillia
Brandon did an amazing job on my first dog walking appointment with him for my new rescue dog Boo. He was super flexible and friendly and I could tell that he has a lot of experience around dogs. My dog happily went along with him, and the overall experience was awesome. He also shared some really helpful tips for a new dog owner like me. I look forward to utilizing his services on a regular basis.
