About: I have worked 4 years in the veterinary medicine field as a credentialed certified veterinary assistant and I have cared for many animals at many stages in life. I am able to provide high quality care with giving medications, subcutaneous fluids if needed, subcutaneous injections if needed for those medically diagnosed, and are able to know body language extremely well. I am very flexible and am open to moving my schedule around for any time that will be more accommodating to my client to help them feel more at ease. I always go above and beyond for my babies and would do the same for clients as well. I’ve always had a heart for animals since I was young and as I have helped animals in more conditions than 1, ranging from puppy-senior, healthy-chronically ill, I have a background that is made to have an attention to detail for fur babies and can put your mind at ease knowing your babies are in great hands.
About: I've had multiple dogs and taken care of animals for my neighbors, friends, and family my whole life. From goats to chickens to dogs to cats I love it all and take my responsibilities very seriously! I'm currently taking two online college courses as well as a lab so I have plenty of time and flexibility to take care of your animals! I am a firm believer in not only making sure your pet is safe, comfortable, and fed but also giving them love and attention so there emotionally and mentally fulfilled as well.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and can’t imagine life without them! I’ve had my own dog for 5 years now and there aren’t many days we don’t go on our daily walk. While living abroad, I also helped walk and dog sit for my neighbor whenever she was away. I treat every pup like they’re my own and make sure they get plenty of love, care, and attention. Right now I have a very flexible schedule, which means I can easily fit in walks, drop-ins, or overnight care throughout the week. I love spending time outdoors and with dogs, so I make pet care a regular part of my day. As my schedule changes down the road, I’ll be sure to keep my availability up to date so you always know when I’m open for bookings. When I’m caring for pets in their own home, I always follow their usual routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I make sure to respect your space and keep things just the way you like them. Whether it’s feeding, walks, or playtime, I stick to your pet’s normal schedule and give them plenty of attention and care while you’re away.
About: Hi neighbors! When I’m not in the classroom, I’m hanging out with my 6-year-old Chihuahua and enjoying the outdoors. Since I have some extra time [on weekends/this summer], I’d love to help care for your furry family members! Reliable & Patient: Years of experience managing classrooms (and one sassy Chihuahua). Flexible: Available for walks, potty breaks, or pet sitting. Local: Right here in the neighborhood! Message me for rates and availability. I can't wait to meet your pups! PM me if you need a hand with: Afternoon walks Feeding/Check-ins Weekend sitting I have time after school and on weekends to care for your pet! The "Safety Check" Protocol: Upon arrival, I do a quick sweep of the "danger zones" (ensuring trash cans are closed, loose items are off the floor, and gates are secure). Routine Consistency: I stick strictly to your pet’s schedule. Whether it's the exact time for a pill or the specific way they like their ears scratched, I maintain their "home-school" routine to minimize anxiety. Communication: You’ll get "Report Cards" (updates and photos) after every visit so you know exactly how they’re doing. Property Respect: As a professional, I leave your home exactly as I found it—well-guarded and tidy.
About: I am willing to learn from your animal baby, I've also taken care of puppies, my old dog had a whole litter of 6 and we had a home birth. I've also cared for multiple litters of kittens. I know basics of training, however I am not a dog trainer! Just a loving being, hoping to connect with you and your dog or cat to best help them while you do your thing 🩷🦋 thank you for the opportunity Personally, I work full time at a Montessori inspired school and go to school so weekdays are not usually open for me. However, on weekends, I have more availability to look out for your furr babies while also doing community outreach. Eventually, I would like to work from home or find more space for this work as I transition to different work. I am willing to do drop INS after 6pm on certain days and vacation time I care for my animals with lots of love, usually I try to take the time to be with them since working full time you don't always get to. They are my babies and I want them all to feel like I am there for them 🩷. I usually clean their litter boxes, feed and cuddle when I get home 🩷 as for other animals around me that have come and gone, I am grateful for the unconditional love they have shown me and I to them 🩷
About: I’ve cared for dogs ranging from small to giant. Specifically dog sitting and drop in visits for family and friends. I have experience with dog walks as well which I enjoy since it is great exercise necessary to any dog. I’m currently a full time student that needs a job with flexible hours. I have classes four times a week but the remainder of week I have free time. I have a fenced yard and a friendly dog buddy for your pet. I also have cameras outside on all sides of my home to ensure the safety of your pet. But I will be monitoring your pet because I’ll be outside with them for potty breaks. My pet is crate trained which I can utilize if necessary.
About: I've owned to dogs in the spanned of 12 years. Both 100 plus pounds, I've also worked with medium size breeds and toy breeds. I also own exotic and cats. I have worked in the retail industry catering towards animals and have volunteered sitting for farm animals. I'm at the moment working towards a degree in veterinary medicine full time. I do not work so this would be my main source of income. Since I am fully dedicating previously my time to school. Close monitoring and calm approach to any situation or environment are essential when it comes to the care of animals in my possession. Patience and building a bond is also very important and key to building a long lasting relationship with my animals.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins.

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
walkers on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
