About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover and proud pet mom to three wonderful dogs and one cat. My dogs are Smokey, age 7; Javi, age 10; and Molly, age 12, and my sweet calico cat Mazie is 3. Having pets ranging from a playful younger cat to senior dogs has given me plenty of experience caring for animals at different ages, energy levels, and stages of life. I know how important it is to have someone you can truly trust with your pets. When they’re in my care, I’ll treat them with the same patience, attention, and affection that I give my own. I’m happy to provide walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, companionship, and lots of love and attention. I’m also comfortable with senior pets who may need a slower pace and a little extra TLC. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I’ll take the time to learn what makes your pet feel happy, safe, and comfortable. I also know how reassuring it is to hear how your pets are doing while you’re away, so I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos. Whether your pet loves a good walk, playtime, cuddling on the couch, or simply having someone nearby to keep them company, I’d love the opportunity to care for them! 🐾❤️ I currently work full-time, but I am transitioning to part-time, which will give me more flexibility in my daily schedule. Pet sitting would be a great addition to my routine, and I’m looking forward to spending that extra time doing something I genuinely enjoy. I’ll have plenty of time to provide pets with attention, companionship, playtime, walks, and care based on their individual routines and needs. My kitty is strictly indoors, and my three dogs are mostly indoors as well. They all have their own routines, and since I’ve worked from home for the past few years, they’re used to having someone around and getting lots of attention! I make sure they have plenty of affection, playtime, potty breaks, and time to relax. I treat my pets like family, and I would give your pets the same love, attention, and care I give my own.
About: I LOVE animals, especially dogs. No hesitation would I do anything for their care AND loving. Unlimited belly rubs, pets, and social interactions! I also prioritize safety! I am mainly home. I can make flexible schedules. Pets are family & that is always everything dear to me. If there’s a will, there’s a way. They’re able to roam freely. People in the house to give unlimited love at all times. Yay! I fufill any needs and wants you may have!
About: I have a love for all animals, as a child growing up I have always wanted to be a Veterinarian Assistant. I began doing foster care for dogs in 2020 after doing this for a while I felt a much greater need to help even more. I began my own dog rescue in 2020. I walk, play, love and care for each animal. I have rescued and rehomed several dogs to safe and loving homes. I treat them as if they were my own. The unbreakable bond between pets and their people is something that will forever warm my heart! I’m currently working part time. I’m available after work and on my off days. Just message me and we can make things work! I’m more than happy to help! I have three fur-babies of my own and they love to run around and play outside, there is 7-acres of land, and the best part is not by any main roads, it’s private. I also walk my dogs or let them play inside with some toys. Depending on your pet and your instructions for your pet, I’ll make sure that your pet and you as well feel comfortable with things. If it’s a client’s home then whatever instructions are given I’ll make sure to go by!

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Riceville. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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 .
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.
