About: Hello my name is Stephany Dos Santos and I have both baby sat and walked dogs for as long as I can remember. I have taken care of a wide range of dogs including Yorkshire, Gold Retriever, Mini Australian Shepherd, Poodle, Chihuahua , and etc. What you would love about me is that with my different experiences I could handle any dog because I treat them equally and also as if they were people. I am available any time of any day and to walk or sit your dog! I am a very funny and energetic individual which makes it easier for me to get along with dogs and run around with them. I would really love to be there when you need me most! Thank you for reading my profile and I hope to meet you! I currently work in a lab, and my schedule is pretty flexible than most other individuals. I am typically at work from between 2 to 4 hours a day. I have the flexibility to leave work whenever I need to and then if I needed to come back I could. Therefore if I am staying over And I see myself being at work for more than six hours a day, then I would just split my day and half and go home and walk or feed whichever animal I’m working with, then head back to work. I currently live in an apartment complex. It does allow animals. There is a large park by my complex, which, if there were a dog with me, I would take them there. In my apartment itself I have a lot of toys and it is a safe environment

“Michelle was the best rover experience we have had in a long time. She was punctual, proactive, and provided honest communication with how things were going with our two big dogs. One of our dogs is very nervous and she was beyond patient with him and successfully got him out for his walks. I appreciated that she showed up exactly when she said she would. We will absolutely use her again in the future.”

About: Caring for dogs isn't just something I do. It's something I'm genuinely passionate about. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, personalities, and energy levels, from young puppies learning routines to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and attention. I understand that every dog is different, and I take the time to get to know each pet's unique needs. I'm comfortable with feeding schedules, administering oral medications, crate training, basic puppy training, leash walking, playtime, and providing plenty of love and attention. I'm also attentive to changes in behavior or health and believe it's important to catch anything unusual early and communicate it with owners right away. I know how stressful it can be to leave your pet with someone else, so I make it my priority to provide a safe, clean, and calm environment where they feel comfortable. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, or simply relaxing with company, I'll make sure they receive the care and attention they deserve. Communication is very important to me. I'll provide regular updates, photos, and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is in good hands. My goal is to care for every pet as if they were my own and give owners complete peace of mind. Pet care is already a major part of my daily routine. My day is structured around caring for dogs, so adding walks, drop-in visits, daycare, or boarding fits naturally into my schedule. Because I'm already following consistent routines for feeding, exercise, potty breaks, playtime, and cleaning, I'm able to provide dependable, attentive care throughout the day. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets the time and attention they deserve rather than leaving them alone for long periods. Whether your pet needs a consistent routine, extra exercise, medication, or simply companionship, I'm committed to making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. Safety and comfort are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s home. I make sure every pet is in a clean, secure, and calm environment where they can feel relaxed and stress-free. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I pay close attention to behavior and overall well-being so I can quickly notice if something seems off and communicate right away. In my care, pets are never left unattended for long periods. I supervise interactions, provide structured playtime, and ensure a safe environment at all times—especially when introducing pets to new surroundings or other animals. I also respect the client’s home fully when providing in-home care, keeping everything clean, secure, and exactly as I found it. I understand how important trust is when someone allows you to care for their pet or enter their home, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is to make sure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable, while giving owners complete peace of mind through clear communication and reliable care.

About: I’ve worked with dogs through volunteering at animal shelters for over 12 years. I have experience fostering dogs of all ages, and I am Fear Free certified. I don’t have a dog myself yet, so I’ll love and care for your pup as though they are my own! I work full-time, so I am outside of the home 8+ hours on weekdays. I can provide care in the morning before work and in the evening after work, and on weekends. I am available most holidays as well. I make sure to earn the trust of every animal I work with, which includes respecting their boundaries as we are getting to know each other. That being said, I’ll make sure your pet gets the food, exercise, and attention they need to feel safe and happy while you are away.

About: Hi! I’m a reliable, caring dog lover who treats every pup like my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or cuddle time, I’ll make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’ll follow your pet’s routine and keep you updated so you can have peace of mind! I'm a part-time student who takes morning classes Monday-Thursday. I am typically at home the majority of the day, but if I am ever away I will return home for about an hour to take any guests out during lunch (12-1PM). Weekends, I am mostly free. Drop-off/pick-up can be anytime! My schedule is pretty flexible during weekends so if you need a specific time, I can make it work. I'm very accommodating. Just let me know in advance when you are thinking about booking and I can check my schedule for that day. If you have a busy schedule, I can also pick-up and drop-off for free! Let me know what your fur-baby's routine is like (sleep, eat, play schedule). I hope to make your fur-baby comfortable while you are away. For DROP-INS: I have experience with drop-ins for dogs, cats, and fish! If you would like me to do a short walk during the 30 minute drop-in for your pup, let me know! I typically like to refresh their water, give a treat (if you allow it), and make sure they go potty! For cats, I will make sure their water & food is replenished and will clear out litter boxes! I will also water your plants, bring in your mail/newspapers (if requested). Thanks for considering me! Let’s set up a Meet & Greet! **Holiday Rates will also be applied for Easter, Mother’s Day, and Father’s Day weeks/weekends** I’m currently working part time with plenty of time for fuzzy friends! I haven’t found my perfect pet just yet, so I have lots of love to give! I have loads of experience training young and old pups, no matter the service your looking for I would love to incorporate good habits for your pet!

About: I’ve always been involved in taking care of my pets growing up. I have learned that building trust with dogs is the most important to grow a great relationship! Recently moved here- I work from home majority of the day as a full time photographer, so I have lots of flexibility to walk dogs when other owners are at work which seems to be really nice! I do not have the right facility to care for your dog at my home, so I am going to stick to drop in visits and walks.

About: I am 37 and have worked professionally with dogs for 10 years during my 20s. I began working in a boarding and daycare facility when I was 18. Since that time I have worked for other kennels as I have moved. I received my training certification in 2010 from Animal Behavior College and volunteered extensively at a shelter in Kansas City. I have volunteered with numerous rescue groups providing training and foster homes along with many boarding facilities. I love pet sitting and getting the opportunity to make a animals happy while their parents are away- all the rewards of being the fun aunt :) Experience with pets who have medications/diabetes/special needs. HOUSE SITTING: I work from home, with appointments throughout the day so your pets won't be left alone for long. I am flexible fitting into your pets routines, watering plants, and any other up-keeps that need done while you are away. A majority of the time I work from home while having occasional appointments out of the home. This gives me plenty of flexibility to ensure that your pet gets 1:1 time and gets outside when needed. I like to follow my clients routines so their pet can predict as much as possible. My experience has given me a little bit of the super power to predict the future, which leads to me to taking extra safety steps “just in case”

About: We are a family of four that wants to get a dog some day when our children are a bit older. We have two daughters aged 9 and 5. We love to do dog sitting so we can still enjoy a dog in our home. I am a high school teacher and my wife stays home 3 out of 5 days/week with our two young daughters. My wife grew up with Labradors and I grew up with Maltese and Terriers. We cannot wait to have our own dog again. Will your dog be the one to convince us of what type of dog we want for our family? We look forward to meeting you and treating your dog like they are part of our family! Because we do not currently have a dog and only take one dog at a time, your dog will be very well cared for and receive tons of attention and affection! **once in awhile, we may have two bookings that overlap slightly depending on pick-up/drop-off times, but if that happens we will communicate that with you! My wife is home Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays with our daughters. On Mondays and Tuesdays, we are gone from 8:30-4:00. If that is too long of a period for your dog to go without a potty break please let us know! I am a teacher at Memorial highschool (just 5 mins from our home) and can easily come home during my lunch break for a quick dog walk! We have a fenced in yard for your dog to explore. Otherwise, we will let your dog roam anywhere in the house! If needed, we have baby gates and are able to section off parts of our home.

About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, birds, and fish since childhood. I’ve cared for toy breeds to extra large dogs (tea cups yorkies to mastiffs!), individual cats to families with 5+ feline family members. I have experience with puppy obedience (consistent/incremental/positive reinforcement), senior care, and varying levels of energy. I’ve worked with shy pets and incredibly social pets. Teach me about your pet and I will provide as consistent of care as possible while you’re away. I have a predictable schedule in my personal life and I am able to plan and design a pet care schedule with your routines in mind. I will make every effort to ensure clear, manageable expectations are communicated in advance so all parties are satisfied. I will follow routines and practices as close to the established routines to which your pet has grown accustomed. I understand this can vary greatly by family and appreciate clear communication.
