About: I love animals ever since I was young age, especially how difference their personalities are! They have their own needs and wants which something I’m willing to learn no matter the size. Just give me the routine and I’ll follow it with no problems, they’ll be loved and cared for while you’re away! I volunteered in one rescue back in my hometown while growing up so preparing special food, walking/exercising, giving treats (especially to the good boys/girls!) are on my list! I also have basic grooming experience so brushing, basic teeth cleaning, cutting nails, cleaning face are on my list of experiences! I’m also not afraid to get down dirty when needing to bath a dirty dog! I also have reptiles so I am knowledgeable to majority of the scaly babies!! Currently I have a Mexican Black Kingsnake, African FatTail gecko and recently to my big fur family a Veiled Chameleon. So if you have your scaly babies, I’ll be more than happy to take care of them as well! I currently work from home and I want to go out of the house and do something productive! What’s more than doing it with fluffy animals! I’m able to go outside more without needing to spend money so I thought might as well combine my love animals and going outside. It’s a win-win since I can take care of your babies while you’re busy and I can be outside of my house!! I currently live in a gated community, we have our own little dog park within the community. I also live in a 3 story apartment so if your cats end staying for the night they’ll have penalty if not more space to have their night zoomies!
“Meet & Greet went great! Rada is was so nice! 10/10 recommend. She was so friendly with the dogs right off the bat, sat right on the floor and got to know them. Walks seem to have gone great! Booked relatively last minute and she was super accommodating/ flexible. Right on time as planned and dogs seem so happy / content which is all I can really ask for. Knowing they are taken care of the way I would take care of them, or even better, is such a relief. Definitely planning to book more frequently.”
About: I've taken care of a variety of different breeds, I am very active with the dogs. I have 3 years dogs training experience. If you struggle with a fussy high energy dog, or just want your pet to follow basic commands, I'm the sitter/ walker for you! I'm available full time 24/7. I do not require much notice. I'm very flexible with different schedules. I try my best to accommodate dog parents and dog needs. I live on a large 2 acre farm with my husky plenty of room for running. I also take the dogs (with permission) to a large near by open space dog park.
“Nelson was always on time he went above and beyond to take care of our Milo. Milo somehow did not want to go beyond the drive way, I asked Nelson if he could pick him up and carry him to the end of the road then he would walk with you, I know that sounds funny but that’s how to get him to walk, Nelson had no problem doing so. I have scheduled Nelson for 2 weeks in a row and wr are very satisfied, more bookings are on the way. Thank you so much for everything you have done for Milo and us, you are greatly appreciated”
About: I have a heart for animals. We travel so I never wanted to get a dog, but I would love to spend time with yours! https://www.rover.com/sit/tonim13904 I am looking for a new career that I would love. Flexible schedule! Available weekends and most holidays! I won't just check in/walk your animal.

I grew up with the "leave things better than you found them" mentality.
About: I am extremely passionate about animals and have multiple years of experience with all types of animals including insects, reptiles, and birds. I love to meet new pets and their people!

We will discuss what needs your pet has and how I can ensure they are happy while you are gone. If they have a favorite toy, treat, or even a movie they like watching, let me know and I will make sure they get what they need!

Prior to my current dogs I have owned German Shepherds.

I care for my own two dogs, one which is senior requiring medication and special care so I can easily work special needs into your care too. My husband also works from home so if a dog is staying with me, it will rarely be alone and always able to have outside time as needed. I treat other dogs how I would want my dogs treated. I am extremely respectful of other people’s homes, knowing it can be very uncomfortable, allowing strangers into the home.
About: I have had multiple dogs over the years from puppies to seniors. I recently lost my 18 year old hound. My experience with him gave me a lot of experience with senior dogs. Loss of mobility, dementia and seperation anxiety. Pre Covid I had a small home business walking and caring for other's pets. Caring for you pet is my only job.

I have the utmost respect for clients home as well as their pets routine and needs
About: I grew up with family pets around, making me comfortable around all kinds of animals. I began to experience a deep passion for animals and pets, so much so that I got a seasonal job at a pet boarding facility called Pet Paradise. There I was around different dogs and cats all day. Since then, I have been volunteering at the Humane Society of Tampa Bay, walking dogs and hanging out with the cats. I even participated in the Doggie Day Out program at the shelter! I’m pretty much open any day or time! I currently am unemployed and not in school, so I can work on the fly! Very flexible schedule, ready to work for your fur babies! I currently have a dog in the household that can not be around other dogs, but I am more than happy to treat your animal in your own home! I help take care of the dog here by walking and feeding him, I also do the same for the two cats we own!
About: Hey neighbors! 🌼 We all know the feeling: the schedule is packed, but your furry friend is itching to explore the world. Since I grew up with two dogs of my own, I truly miss that daily "dog energy" and would love to put my experience to good use by keeping your pup active and happy!🥰 Whether you have a high-energy zoomie-king or a cozy senior who prefers a slow sniff-around—I’ll move at your dog’s pace. A bit about me: • Life-long experience: Having raised one dog myself (Poodle) an was Born in a Dog Loving Family (Family Dog: Bouvier) I'm very comfortable with different temperaments and behaviors. I currently have a very open schedule and can be completely flexible with timing. Whether it’s a last-minute walk or a long adventure, I’m available whenever your dog needs me.✨ Since I raised a dog of my own, I understand that every pet has its own personality and specific needs. Here is how I approach care: In the client's home: My priority is maintaining the dog's routine to keep them stress-free. I focus on clear communication with the owner regarding feeding schedules, favorite walking routes, and any 'house rules.' I treat every home with the utmost respect and ensure the dog feels safe and companionship-focused while their owner is away. During walks and care: I don’t just 'walk' the dog; I engage with them. Because I currently have a very flexible schedule and plenty of free time, I can offer extended sessions and don't have to rush. I’m also very observant of body language to ensure they are always comfortable and safe in every situation. • Senior-dogs-Walks • High-Energy- Runs • Training-Integration
About: Taken care of many different dogs in various shapes, sizes, and breeds. As a dog owner, my dog and I went through all the training to help her receive “Canine Good Citizen.” I utilize positive reinforcement and appropriate walking etiquette. Remote worker, so my evenings are weekends open to care for your sweet fur family member. During the day, I focus on my fur babies. As a dog walker, I allow the dog to sniff and take their time to navigate before moving too quickly along. Upon first meeting, I take the time for the dog to warm up. Lots of patience and love… and maybe treats if allowed.
About: Starting at age 9 I raised pigs on my grandpas farm and showed them in the fair. I then decided to become vegan at age 13 after realizing the brutal way animals were treated. Last year I enrolled as a foster parent for the local animal shelter. I fostered a sweet, active pit bull named Rebel for two months. Then I fostered a few kittens. I now have my cat that’s grown up with me since I was 4. Unfortunately I can’t commit to having my own dog right now which is why I am on Rover. I have also fostered a kitten from the street that needed to be bottle fed and kept warm. I have open availability to pet sit as I am in the process of finding a job. I can start at 8 am and work till 8pm. I give plenty of pet scratches, it is just as much for me as it is for them. I value pets health, and I enjoy seeing animals get proper exercise and good nutrition. I make sure the pets in my care are in good health.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet or the new environment.
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 Meet & Greet .

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.
