“Halie is a great dog walker. Piper absolutely loves her and waits by the door when she knows it is time for Halie to come get her. Halie is very knowledgeable about animals so l don’t worry about Piper when she is with Halie. Halie is dependable and always on time. I highly recommend her. Jan Pontbriand”

About: I am and have been vegan since I was a child. I’ve always had a deep love for and towards animals ever since I can remember. I like to be in animals energy and presence. Even when giving “care” it’s enjoyable and pleasing for me to offer that for your pets. I bring a calm and peaceful vibe to any situation. I want to be a safe and comfortable space for your animals. ~ If you book the house sitting option, I am only available to sit throughout the day. No sleepovers. I currently am a part time student studying vet tech with a fine arts minor! I have a great amount of free time and flexible schedule to accommodate “different” jobs and care. I live in an apartment with 3 cats. I don’t have any closed off areas at the moment and my cats free roam around the house.

About: Hi! My name is Elle and I have been a dog lover for as long as I can remember! I have had dogs my whole life and have a 10-year-old retriever mix, Rory. Rory is staying with my Mom and Dad currently- so our home is pet free! I have dogs of all sizes and all different breeds. I have never had problems with any dogs nor had any issues. I feel that I stand out because I have a natural love for dogs and will love your animal like they are my own. I have taken care of dogs of all ages and am comfortable with all of them. I love to be outside, whether it be playing, walking, going on runs, etc. I hope you choose me the next time you are looking for someone to take extra good care of your animals!

About: Retired RN with 40+ years of experience caring for my own, family and friends’ pets, from puppy/kitty stages to senior years. Offering care to any aged pet with fun playtime thrown in too! Enjoying a walk with your dog at the pace that best suits them will be a priority. I also have a small dog who can accompany us on walks if your dog needs/enjoys social interaction. My main goal is to make your pet feel safe, happy, well cared for and loved, treating them with the same dependability, warmth & attention as I would my own. Another aim is to keep pet owners informed and follow any specific needs/directions requested, including any medication administration to ensure a great visit. I will also take care of your home with the same respect as your pets - cleaning up after your pets & wiping dogs’ paws after a rainy, snowy, muddy walk! You and your pet can count on me to be reliable, consistent, friendly and on time. Retired with availability on both weekdays and weekends for drop -in visits and dog walking for the furry members of your family. Drop-in visits and dog walks are usually 30 minutes, but I have flexibility to increase the length to 60 minutes (see extended care) Your trust and your pet’s safety are very important to me. While caring for your pets in your home I will respect your space, follow your instructions & always make sure that doors, crates and gates are closed. On walks I’ll make sure to keep an eye on your dog’s body language, needs and have water & treats available to ensure that it is fun, safe and filled with some good sniffing time too!

About: I’ve always grown up around animals, from being raised on a farm surrounded by cows to caring for pets of my own. I’m currently the proud owner of two sweet Shih Tzu mixes, Memo and Santi, along with a dwarf bunny named Melody. I also have experience caring for reptiles and amphibians, and I’m completely comfortable handling feeding routines , even the bugs! I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I’ll always care for your animals with the same love, attention, and patience that I give my own. Here’s a cleaned-up, more professional version of your routine bio: I am a recent college graduate currently with a flexible schedule while I transition into my career as an industrial designer. During my time as a full-time student, I developed strong time management and responsibility skills, and I am now using this period to focus on gaining experience and building my professional path. Because I am currently in the job search process, I have open availability and am able to accommodate a variety of scheduling needs, including weekdays and weekends. For my two little dogs, Santi and Memo, they spend a lot of time cuddling with me. Memo is very curious and will literally follow me everywhere I go, while Santi loves coming along with me for car rides. They both have a lot of fun playing outside, and during potty breaks they like to wander and play around the yard. I will admit my dogs are pretty spoiled ,Santi especially loves when I buy her cute dresses and she gets so excited for a good game of dress-up. My little bunny, Melody, is on what I like to call a “rainbow diet,” meaning she gets a variety of nutritious vegetables. She also really enjoys car rides and loves when I give her a small banana treat. I keep a very consistent and timely routine when it comes to her cage maintenance to make sure she stays clean, comfortable, and happy.

About: I have several years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages and personalities. I've cared for a variety of pets: seniors, puppies, cats, kittens, high energy, shy or anxious. I’m patient, gentle, and always focused on making pets feel safe and loved. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or quiet companionship, I adapt to each pet’s needs and routine. I treat every animal like they’re my own and always keep their comfort, safety, and happiness as my top priorities. I currently am a pharmacy technician full time but I typically have 3 days off weekly and time before and after work available for your pets needs. I’m someone who believes pets deserve the same comfort, safety, and love they get at home. When your pet stays with me, they’re not just being “watched”—they’re being cared for thoughtfully and responsibly.

“Thank you, Mackenzie. You were patient with our dog Baker understanding that he is sometimes fearful of others and you kept me informed. Would highly recommend Mackenzie.”

About: I am a caring and dependable dog walker with a genuine love and respect for animals. I currently walk two dogs Tuesday through Friday and have built a strong bond with them. One was shy and barked at me at first, but now happily runs up to greet me—an experience I truly value. I also volunteer at the Humane Society animal shelter, where I help feed cats, clean their cages, and walk dogs. At times, my responsible and gentle 14-year-old son assists me on walks, offering extra attention and care to the dogs. As a tutor and substitute teacher with a flexible schedule and summers off, I’m able to provide consistent, reliable care. My priority is making sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. My flexible schedule as a tutor and substitute teacher allows me free time to do pet sitting and dog walking. I tend to walk dogs between 8am to 11am and then do my substitute teaching job between 11:45 to 3:15pm and after that will walk a dog as needed. During the summer time Im free all day for walks and for house sitting. I will make sure to follow any instructions or recommendations from the client concerning the well being of their pet. I typically give the dog daily exercise 4 to 7 times per day. With the owner permission I will take dog to the dog park and keep a watchful eye on the dog at all times there. If I feel another dog is getting aggressive I will immediately remove the dog so nothing escalates.

About: I currently have a Labrador Retriever and a cat, and before them I raised a golden retriever who lived to 11. I’m close to the MetroParks, so even without a fenced yard there’s plenty of opportunity for long walks and fresh air. I believe a calm dog is a happy, well‑behaved dog, and I make sure every pup gets the exercise and attention they need. I know it can be stressful leaving your dog in a new environment. My goal is to put your mind at ease so you can fully enjoy your vacation or event. I’ll send regular updates and photos so you always know how your pup is doing. I’m dedicated to making animals feel at home—just like I hope for my own pets when I’m away. I work from home three days a week, which gives me plenty of flexibility for walks and attention throughout the day when the weather is nice. I’m also home on weekends, so your pets will have consistent company and care. I have a friendly dog and cat to keep your fur baby company. I can crate your dog easily if needed. I am in an apartment, but there’s convenient side walks and paths for taking bathroom breaks multiple times per day.

About: I’ve had a variety of pets my whole life; dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, lizards, turtles, rats, ferrets, and fish! I’m very comfortable being around animals. I am currently a nurse but enjoy being around these furry creatures so much that I wanted to do this on the side! I promise you your pet is in good hands with me. This will be more a reward for me than a job ❤️ Weekdays after 3 I’m typically always available. Other times throughout the day and weekends will vary, so please just ask! I will do what I can :) I can work with you and your pets needs. Whether they use an automatic feeder or need manually fed, I can provide what is needed.

About: I grew up always having dogs in the household, but currently do not have any. However, my wife and I have cats. Five to be precise, lol. We've also helped around 40 stray cats over the years get spayed, neutered, or rehomed. It's a sad, never ending battle, but always worth it! I also donate to local shelters and non-profits when I have the funds. Things I offer depending on which service: - Daily walks - Potty breaks, up to 1-5 times per day - Combing at least once per stay - Waste removal - Medication - Play time - Treats! I hope through Rover I am able to bond with your pup or kitty and build friendship & trust with your family.

“Really will miss having Kate as our walker. She’s so great with Ajax and he loves her! I’ll definitely be using her service again next time I’m in this area.”

About: I’ve taken care of my family and friends pets since I was 15 years old. Cats and Dogs of all sizes. I love spending time with animals and I’d love to help take care of your furry loved ones! I have a very flexible schedule! I work part time as a Doordasher, so I will be able to schedule my dashes around clients needs! Im unable to care for pets in my home. My living situation doesn’t allow it, but when I’m at clients home I learn how they care for their pets and I enjoy getting acquainted with pets and understanding their personalities.
