About: As a nurse and experienced rescue volunteer, I bring a unique blend of medical knowledge, compassion, and hands-on pet care experience. I’ve worked with dogs of all ages—from energetic puppies to sweet seniors needing extra patience and support. I’m comfortable with medication administration, post-surgery care, and recognizing signs of distress. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! Pet care is a natural part of my daily life. As the founder of a dog rescue and a stay-at-home mom, my routine is centered around caring for both animals and people. Whether it’s feeding, walking, administering medications, or giving extra cuddles, I make time every day to meet each pet’s unique needs. I also keep a flexible schedule to accommodate drop-ins, overnights, and last-minute bookings. Providing a safe, loving environment for animals isn’t just a routine—it’s my passion and purpose. In my home, pets are treated like family. They have a cozy, calm environment where they can relax, play, and feel safe. I maintain a consistent routine for feeding, walks, playing in a fenced in area and bathroom breaks, and I tailor care to each dog’s needs—whether it’s crate training, senior support, or giving extra attention to anxious pups. In clients’ homes, I follow all instructions closely to keep your pet’s routine consistent and stress-free. Cleanliness, safety, and lots of love are always my top priorities—no matter where I’m caring for your pet.

About: I have had many pets since I was young and enjoy caring for them. I love all animals and look forward to meeting new animal friends! Currently a full time stay at home dad / part time paramedic. I have plenty of spare time to help out anyone who needs pet care assistance. I have a 1/4 acre yard unfenced that I let my dog and cat play around in. They are both trained to not run away, so I can have any other pets leashed and keep an eye on them without having to worry too much about my own pets. I can crate if needed/preferred.

About: Animals have always been a central part of my life, and I have over 40 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, birds, and other animals. I previously managed and worked in luxury animal care and boarding, where I cared for dogs with a wide range of routines, temperaments, dietary needs, medications, and specialized care requirements. I also founded and run my own land and wildlife sanctuary, where caring for both domestic animals and supporting a diverse array of wildlife is part of my everyday life. This background has made me deeply attentive to animal behavior, safety, routines, comfort, and compassionate care. I’m attentive, patient, dependable, and very tuned into each animal’s individual personality and needs. Whether a pet is energetic and playful or shy and sensitive, I take time to help them feel secure, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding routines, bathing, senior pets, medications, multi-animal households, and providing calm, attentive day-to-day care. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for a beloved companion, and I treat every animal with warmth, gentleness, and respect. 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because caring for animals has always been part of my life. I have a flexible schedule and can provide dependable walks, check-ins, feeding, companionship, and attentive care throughout the week and weekends. care for pets with patience, attentiveness, and close attention to their individual routines and comfort levels. During walks and drop-in visits, I make sure pets are safe, secure, well-supervised, and comfortable in their familiar environment. I’m attentive to feeding instructions, water, exercise needs, cleanliness, and giving pets calm companionship while their owners are away. I understand the importance of trust when caring for someone’s beloved animal, and I always aim to provide dependable, gentle, stress-free care. 🐾

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 12. When I lived with my dad, we had 2 chihuahuas and 2 pit mixes. I’ve also had bunnies, fish, and birds. I’ve taken care of a chinchilla for a friend. I also used to have a guinea pig named Asher! I am experienced with different animals. I am self employed and have school online for real estate at my own pace, so I am free pretty much any day and any time unless I have an appointment that day! Then I can work after! I can either be a cuddly companion and or play with them by playing fetch or taking them out on walks! I will make sure to keep the house nice and clean while I stay in the home of my clients!😁

About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up surrounded by both cats and dogs, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I have one (spoiled) cat who has been my best friend since I was 10. I regularly cat sit for family and friends and dog sit for my grandparents, so I’m comfortable with different personalities, and care needs. Whether your pet is playful, shy, cuddly, or independent.. I’ll make sure they feel safe, cared for, and loved while you’re away! I work as a night shift nurse (7pm–7am) and typically work three consecutive nights during the week. On workdays, I am available for at most 2 drop-ins between shifts, depending on distance and timing. On my days off (usually 3–4 days a week), I have full availability for visits, care, walks, and extended time with your pet. My schedule is consistent, and I’ll always communicate clearly about availability in advance. I follow each pet’s routine as instructed, including feeding, litter care, walks, medications, and any specific quirks. I focus on keeping things consistent so they feel as comfortable as possible.

Robert has been walking my dog Roman three times a week for the past few weeks, and it’s been a fantastic experience. He’s always on time, sends a photo and quick update after each walk, and clearly takes great care with Roman. He’s also been really flexible—willing to adjust the schedule when needed, which has been a huge help. It’s a relief to know Roman is in such good hands. I highly recommend Robert to anyone looking for a reliable and professional dog walker!

About: I (Eren) have been a veterinary technician since 2023, working in a variety of settings including a clinic, shelter, and university research hospital caring for special-needs dogs. Through this experience, I’m comfortable with medical care, senior pets, administering medications, recognizing early signs of illness, and handling animals with unique behavioral needs. I’ve also had animals my entire life, from cats and dogs to exotics, so I understand how different every species (and every personality!) can be. I’m patient, gentle, and confident with shy or anxious animals, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. My partner Luca is also part of our Rover profile and shares this same passion for animal care. We have multiple pets together and work as a team to provide attentive, reliable care. Luca previously worked at the same clinic I’m at as a receptionist and veterinary assistant, and now works in a science lab where he also helps care for lab animals. His experience makes him calm, capable, and very comfortable handling a wide range of animals. What sets us apart is that we combine professional veterinary experience with genuine, everyday love for animals. Between the two of us, your pets will always have attentive, knowledgeable, and compassionate care. We currently have cats, ferrets, mice and 1 bearded dragon of our own, and we hold ourselves to the same high standard of care that we would want for them. Pet care fits naturally into our weekly routine because animals have always been a huge part of our lives. I work full-time, but I schedule my Rover services around my work hours so that every visit gets my full attention. I’m typically available before or after work for drop-ins, walks, and evening check-ins, and I always communicate clearly about my availability. My partner Luca helps provide additional flexibility. He is a full-time student and works part-time in a lab, with a schedule that tends to stay consistent for longer periods. Because our schedules often complement each other, one of us is usually available when the other is not. This allows us to offer more consistent and reliable care throughout the day. Even with busy schedules, caring for animals is something we both genuinely enjoy and make time for, and we never take on more than we can fully commit to. We primarily care for pets in our clients’ homes, where they feel safest and most comfortable. As a veterinary technician, safety is always my first priority. We follow your pet’s normal routines closely, including feeding, medications, walks, and playtime, while also keeping an eye out for any early signs of stress or illness. We’re respectful of your home, trustworthy with your space, and committed to creating a calm, clean environment for your pets while you’re away. We provide regular updates, photos, and honest communication so you always know how your pet is doing.

About: I’ve been a Dog Mom for 16 years. I’ve also been entrusted to dog-sit multiple neighbors’ dogs, including a wolf/Husky hybrid named Loki; 2 “pitbull” mixes, Dicey and Scooby; and a GSD/Lab mix named Mya who has regular sleepovers at my house. I have experience giving dogs oral, drop, injectable, and subcutaneous IV medications. I take care to pay attention to the temperature outside and a dog’s needs and adjust walks accordingly (no walking on hot asphalt, make sure dogs with no undercoat are suitably dressed in cold weather, etc.). I’m a firm believer in letting dogs experience the world around them through smell, and allow them to sniff to their nose’s content on walks. If your dog is prone to pulling, please have a suitable harness available for use. (I highly recommend PetSafe EasyWalk harnesses.) NO prong, choke, or shock collars! I look forward to meeting you and your pup!! I work from home and my hours are flexible, so I am able to arrange my work schedule around the needs of you and your dog(s)! I always ensure that your dog’s collar/harness and leash are secure so they won’t slip out on a walk. I bring poop bags on every walk, and a water thermos and bowl on longer walks. Food, potty breaks, and medicine administration can all be given at drop-ins. I have experience giving oral medications, eye drops, injections, and sub-q IV drips to my own dogs, and can do so for yours as well with as much care and love as if they’re my own.

About: Hi, I’m Michelle! I bring over 50 years of hands-on experience working with animals of all ages, sizes, and personalities. As a former veterinary technician, I’m comfortable with everything from giving medications to caring for senior pets and puppies who need extra attention. I know how to spot signs of stress, discomfort, or illness early, and I treat every pet like they’re part of my family. Whether it’s playtime, snuggles, training reinforcement, or simply making sure your furry friend feels safe and loved, I go the extra mile to keep tails wagging and owners at ease. Caring for animals has always been part of my daily routine — it’s second nature to me! I work full-time, but my evenings (after 5pm), Tuesdays, and weekends are dedicated to spending quality time with pets. At home, I share my life with two sweet cats of my own, so there’s never a day that doesn’t involve a little extra love, play, or purring. I also volunteer regularly at my local cat sanctuary, so even when I’m not with Rover pets, I’m surrounded by whiskers, paws, and wagging tails. Pet care isn’t just something I do — it’s truly who I am. I specialize in caring for pets right where they’re most comfortable — in their home! This means your pets get to stick to their normal routine, sleep in their favorite spots, and enjoy all the comforts they’re used to. Whether I’m stopping by for a quick check-in, feeding, playtime, or walks, or staying overnight to keep your pets company, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. My focus is on giving them the kind of attention and care they’d get if you were home yourself.
