About: What sets me apart is my experience caring for pets with diverse personalities, health conditions, and behavioral needs. I have helped care for a Husky for nine years, managing health challenges and providing consistent, patient care. I also care for rescued cats and have experience pet sitting cats that require special attention around other animals. I focus on building trust, following routines, and ensuring every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. Pet care is already a regular part of my daily routine. I care for my own cats every day and have experience providing care for both dogs and cats through feeding, playtime, exercise, medication schedules when needed, and companionship. My flexible schedule allows me to dedicate time to walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting while ensuring each pet receives attentive, reliable care and plenty of affection. When caring for pets, I follow their established routine as closely as possible to help pets feel comfortable and secure. This includes feeding, providing fresh water, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, administering basic care instructions, and giving pets plenty of attention and companionship. I pay close attention to each pet's behavior, health, and comfort level and provide regular updates to owners. My goal is to ensure pets receive safe, reliable, and compassionate care while maintaining the environment and routine they are accustomed to. With a spacious house, I easily can keep my two cats away if a pet doesn’t enjoy their presence. Though my cats are lovers of all, I understand if other pets aren’t the same.

About: I've grown up with pets and have since always come home to one. I started pet sitting in high school and continued to sit for the same and new families for years. I love all dogs and got my cat about two years ago. With my years of experience, I have cared for puppies up to senior dogs, cats, and some special needs animals. I love all animals and would be thrilled to care for yours! I am currently a part-time student in college and have a lot of time. I do have some schoolwork, but it's very light and I pretty much have an open week. I also have weekends free, so I am very flexible and can work whenever. Your pet's wellbeing, safety, and comfort is my top priority. I am an avid rule-follower and love thorough instructions to be able to give your pet the best care they need and deserve. I have my own cat and have trusted fellow Rover sitters and would love to be able to do the same. I believe in leaving a place the same or better than it was found, and would do the same when visiting your home.

About: Hi, I'm Sarah! I'm a school teacher looking to spend my summer looking after pets. I have experience working with all types of dogs as I grew up in a home with three pugs with big personalities. I also have experience working with bigger dogs, senior/disabled dogs, and cat sitting. I would do anything for my dogs, so I would do anything for yours too. As a teacher, I'm free during the day to help your pet so they feel as comfortable and happy as possible while you're away. For active pets, I love going on walks! For easygoing and older pets , I'm happy to be someone to watch over them. :) My #1 priority is to keep your pets happy and healthy while you are away! I'll be sure to send you frequent updates on how your pet is doing. Never hesitate to ask me any questions. Feel free to let me know your pets regular schedule, so I can maximize your pets comfort.

About: I am a sitter and walker who is very patient with all dogs, especially energetic ones. I love all animals, and because I am an athlete, I have lots of energy, so if your dog wants to run while we walk and play, I happily will! If they do not, I am always calm as well and will be patient with your dog. I walk my dog Charlie every day, and I also walk my sister's dog, Finn. I am always happy to go outside and get some fresh air. I play with Charlie as much as I can until he’s tired (which is literally never), and I always make sure he’s got plenty of water.

About: Hello! From geckos, to young and elderly cats, birds, fish, and even dogs; I have cared for them all. I love animals to the point I worked at the Toledo Zoo! The quality of time and care given to your pets is important because they deserve the best while you’re away. I’m working evenings currently and during the day I have time to walk or do step in visits. From Tuesday to Thursday my time belongs to your pets! I am available all day to provide care. I provide care by checking on the basic necessities daily such as water and food (if you let food sit in the bowl only) and spot scooping litter boxes. I also set timers to keep on track of letting dogs outside to go to the bathroom or even when it’s time for a walk!

About: I currently have two dogs at home. One is a pitbull and the other is a corgi mix. I have taken care of dogs my entire life! Currently I only have a part time job that is only about 10 hours a week so I plenty of time to be with the animals! I love walking especially with a fur baby by my side to make the walk more enjoyable! I also enjoy being able to keep an animal company when need!

About: My years of experience is for professional experience. Years personal experience is well over 20. I’ve had pets all my life growing up from exotics to cats and dogs. Professionally I’ve been a pet groomer (can do small animals, dogs and cats) and a shift manager at a pet store where I was a pet specialist, dog groomer, and pet nutritionalist. I have experience with fish, dogs, cats, pocket pets (hamsters, rats, mice, Guinea pigs, rabbits ect.), reptiles, amphibians, invertebrates, arachnids. I have certifications in pet grooming, animal body language, and pet care. Formerly a fear certified pet groomer (not activity grooming anymore but I plan to get that back). Feel free to message me with any questions or concerns you may have. I’m going to school full time all online so when pet sitting I am able to take my course work with me while I take care of your pets. I will follow all instructions, I have slip leads that I will use over the collars so that way if anything happens during walks outside there’ll be extra protection. I will pick up after your dog. Make sure water is available 24/7 and make sure feeding schedules are on time. I can also take care of exotic pets, fish, and I have an amazing green thumb! So even your plants will get the best care.

About: I have been around dogs my whole life. I used to take care of two dogs before they passed. I take care of my neighbors dogs when they are gone. I would love to help others take care of their dogs before I get one of my own again. I have mostly taken care of dogs that are already potty trained. I currently work on the weekends in the morning and have night classes during the week. I am able to watch more than one dog at a time. I have a fenced yard. I am able to put pets back inside their crate when needed. I have taken care of dogs that were not fenced in and needed a leash outside. I am able to walk small dogs as well as large.

About: I have worked with multiple ages and dogs with disabilities such as loss of hearing. I also have experience with giving oral medications. I will provide plenty of belly rubs and snuggles to make sure your fur baby gets lots of love while you are away. I’m currently working part time as a dance teacher, but I am out of college classes for the summer so that gives me plenty of time to care for your pets. When taking care of your pets in your home, I will strictly follow the instructions you leave for me. I will leave your home looking better than when I arrived. I will always respect your home and belongings.

About: Hi! I'm Rebekah. I'm new to Rover, but caring for animals is something I've wanted to do for a long time. I've owned and cared for my own dachshunds my whole life, so I'm experienced with dogs that need a little extra patience and attention. Because of that, I'm comfortable following detailed instructions, administering medications if needed, and making sure every part of your pet's routine is followed exactly as requested. I know trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, and I take that responsibility seriously. I offer 15–30 minute walks and drop-in visits, and I never cut a visit short. Whether your dog needs a walk, playtime, feeding, fresh water, medications, or just some extra love and attention, I'm happy to help. I'm very responsive and keep my phone nearby, so you can expect quick communication and updates while your pet is in my care. I also respect your home and belongings and will always leave everything just as I found it. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. I look forward to meeting you and your furry best friend! I offer 15–30 minute dog walks, drop-in visits, potty breaks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, and companionship. My availability is generally between 10:00 AM–12:00 PM and again from 3:00 PM into the evening, making it easy to provide midday and afternoon care. My schedule works well around my job at a dance studio, and I'm happy to provide multiple visits throughout the day when needed. I make sure every pet receives the time, attention, and care they deserve. I work part time at a dance studio around the corner from from my residence so it is easy for me to come and go throughout the day! I can care for your pet at your home to play with them, feed them, walk them and more etc… I will not be doing overnights but can let them out or care for them multiple times a day!

About: I have dog sat for my family members when they go on vacation for weeks at a time. I volunteer at 4 paws 4 ability. I currently go to school full time at BGSU. I am available after 1pm on most days and I’m available any time on the weekends. I can easily crate your furry ones if needed. I am home most time of the day. I do have grass areas all around complex.

About: I have had experience with doggos ever since I was a little kiddo. We had a Japanese Kai doggo up until recently and I have also had some part time jobs taking care of dogs for my friends and family. I will love your furry friend as my own! I am currently a full time college student in the school year and a part time college student in the summer. I work online and will have all the time in the world to play with your pets and take care of them! I live at a house with friendly neighbors but not a fenced in yard. We have trees on our property that shield the road from our house.

“Maggie and Travis are AMAZING! I’m a brand new dog owner and they have been great at helping me with Cooper. They walk him 4 days a week and provide details about his walk. I highly recommend them!!!”
