“Melissa was wonderful with our two energetic Boston terriers. We hired her to walk them during the day while our friend (who was staying at our house when we were in vacation) was at work. Not only did she walk them, she took the time to play with them as well and get their energy out. We would definitely hire her again!”
“Emily has walked my dog a bunch of times now. She is reliable, easygoing, and truly knows/understands animals. I am happy to have connected with her and will keep booking whenever needed.”
About: I’ve grown up with animals my whole life and have fallen in love with each different personality that they all have. As a kid i had two dogs, and now I have 3 bunnies as well. Raising my baby girl has been one of my favorite things in life. I love animals with my whole heart, and would treat any ones baby the way i would treat my own I take care of my bunny, including feeding her multiple times a day, and cleaning her cage, as well as letting her run around my room, and outside. Of course giving her infinite kisses and hugs I care for all pets in the way that they feel comfortable. I know each baby is different, and will make sure to make them feel loved the way that they want. I will make sure to take good care of each and every one of that, and make them feel safe with me
About: I’ve grown up in a household with 3+ dogs and 2+ cats at a time, which is why I love animals so much! Pets hold a special place in my heart, and I’m very adamant about helping others take care of theirs. I’m currently a Senior in college on summer break. Due to a busy schedule this summer, I’m unable to get a full-time job— so I decided to open my availability for pet sitting! I’m comfortable with overnight, check-ins, walks, etc. I cannot take pets in my home due to the pets in my house, but I am experienced in overnights as well as check-ins through the day. I have grown up experienced in feeding dogs/cats, as well as taking dogs outside/on walks with leashes.
About: I’ve cared for cats and dogs varying in ages. I understand how important a routine and safety is for both a pet and their parent. Whether it’s taking them out on a walk, giving them medications, or even just keeping them company, I’m here for all. I’m currently unemployed, almost off to college so I’m free basically everyday! I’m open to back-to-back scheduling if that is what you need. We can make anything work. I respect the space and follow instructions easily to keep things clean and secure. I take safety very seriously, whether it’s checking to make sure doors are locked or food and medications are out of reach for the pet.
About: I have watched many pets for family and friends over the years from dogs and cats all the way to lizards. I hope to be able to help you with all your pet care needs! I am currently a stay at home mom during the day with 2 littles with me at home. I work in the evenings but my husband would also be at the home as well so if need be your pet will have someone at the home at all times. My home is already baby proofed from my kiddos so everything is sectioned off and safe for pets! I am able to follow whatever schedule you give me when it comes to potty time and feeding time as well!
About: Hi! My name is Nayhara, and I’m the kind of person who loves animals more than anything. I’m in my mid-20s and truly have a passion for caring for pets. To me, pets are not just pets they’re family. I’m home most days, so if your pet stays with me, they’ll be getting full-time love, attention, and supervision. I’ll be with them throughout the day whether we’re cuddling, playing, or just hanging out, your pet will never feel alone. Growing up, I cared for a total of four pets — including two dogs, three cats, and a bird and I currently have one sweet cat at home who brings me joy every day. While I may be new to Rover, I have years of hands on experience taking care of animals, not just my own but also helping family and friends. I’m always the first to notice when a pet isn’t feeling well, and I’m very attentive, loving, and detail oriented. I’m a naturally nurturing person who enjoys giving animals the comfort and care they deserve. I know how important it is to trust someone with your fur baby that’s why I’ll always keep you updated with pictures, messages, and quick responses. Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, a nap buddy, or just someone to make them feel safe, I’ll be there for them. Let’s schedule a meet & greet! I’d love to connect with you and your fur baby! I’m currently home most days, so your pet will receive plenty of attention, care, and love throughout the day. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or just keeping them company, I’ll be there to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I have an open yard, but the sides are fenced, and I always make sure your pet gets safe, regular potty breaks. I can take them outside every 30 minutes to a couple of hours, depending on their needs and routine. Inside, I make sure your pet feels at home — whether that means giving them their own space or room with their bed and belongings, or letting them stay close to me for extra comfort, even while they sleep. My goal is to help them feel safe, loved, and as comfortable as possible.

About: Hello, my name is Ashley. I am a little new to pet care but I am eager to get started! I have had dogs my whole life and have always helped out with them. I have pet sat a few times and administered medication. I currently have a 5 year old Labrador Retriever and watch my friends dogs a lot. I enjoy taking them to the beach and to the dog park very frequently. I have always been an animal lover. Any animal, any size! Though I don't yet have any professional experience, I hope to gain some. I did work at a pet store while I was in high school and learned a lot about pet health and caring for ill animals. I hope to be able to engage with your animals and build a relationship with them as well as you! Thank you! I’m currently working full time as a bartender. I typically work 3pm-11pm but my schedule does vary week to week. I can be pretty flexible with hours when necessary. I have a dog of my own that I take on walks or to the park every day! I do live in an apartment so I take my dog on walks daily or we will go to the dog park or on a trail nearby!
