I’ll always do my best to work around your pet’s routine so they feel comfortable and cared for. Your pet’s safety and happiness always come first with me.

Beth is so great and takes such good care of my pup. I was hesitant to use this app, but she put me at ease and goes above and beyond to give my pup the time, attention, and exercise he needs! Thanks Beth :)

Chloe was very professional and scheduled a meeting prior to taking care of our senior Yorkie. She walked him several times a day for three days. She was on time for every walk and he was well taken care of. Thank you Chloe!!!

About: I have over 15 years of experience caring for other people's animals. From dogs and cats, to horses, snakes, goats, chickens, and more! My promises to you: I will respond in a timely manner, be reliable, and send you updates (with pictures) while you are away. I will ensure your beloved pet(s) receive the care and attention they deserve. I will be respectful of your home and ALWAYS leave it cleaner than I found it. I know how relieving it is to return to a clean home! :) My schedule is flexible but I do have a part time job that I work in the evenings. Typically 4-9pm 🙂 I do not offer boarding in my home at this time. I am an attentive and patient caregiver with safety at the forefront of my attention. I will ensure that your animals receive the care, attention, and exercise they deserve!

About: Here’s a warm, friendly, and professional version: I’ve spent my whole life caring for the pets of friends, family, and neighbors, and it’s something that has always brought me a lot of joy. I’ve been on Rover for a few years now and have truly loved getting to know and look after so many wonderful animals. These days, I primarily offer drop-ins, walks, and house sitting, and I look forward to the opportunity to care for your pet. I don’t currently have any pets of my own, so it’s a real pleasure to spend time with yours and give them all the attention and affection they deserve. Here’s a polished, friendly paragraph you can use for your Rover profile: I’m currently enrolled in online school, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to focus on your pets. I’m available to care for your pet in your home five days a week, as well as on weekends, and I’m happy to provide as much attention, affection, and one-on-one care as they need. Your pets will never feel overlooked—they’ll have someone present, patient, and genuinely happy to spend time with them. Here’s a refined paragraph that includes everything: I take the safety, comfort, and routine of every pet in my care very seriously. I follow their daily schedule closely so that—even though they’ll miss you—their days feel familiar and uninterrupted. I also care for your home while you’re away, keeping everything neat, tidy, and just as you left it. With experience caring for senior dogs, I understand the importance of maintaining a clean, calm environment and keeping their personal spaces fresh and comfortable. You can trust that both your pet and your home will be well looked after.

Mary. Thank you for all you do. Leonardo always has a smile on his little doggy face after a walk with you. He runs in circles when you come. He can't wait to see you. Even a mention of your name gets him excited. I appreciate you so much. Thank you for always being positive. It shows how much you genuinely enjoy being with him. Thank you for the doggy treats and the extra time you take playing with Leonardo. Grateful to have you in our lives. ❤️

About: I have been around all different types of pets since I was 5. They have always been a part of my family. I have experience with dogs, cats, reptiles, chickens and so many more. I can provide many references if needed. I currently work from home so I am very flexible with days and hours. I am also able to pick your pup up or drop off if you need me too. Since I work from home, I am able to take them on multiple walks throughout the day! Your fur baby will be treated as if they were my own.

About: I would take my dog out for walks everyday since I was 13 and would make sure she was cared for, played with, and properly groomed I am currently working two jobs part-time, but I am often available to walk dogs (morning, day or afternoon) or cat-sit in my free time. In my home, we make sure our cats are fed at least twice a day and we scoop their litter everyday. When we had my senior dog, we would let her outside often to get some exercise and would bathe her at least once a month when she got dirty.

About: What sets me apart is that I genuinely treat every pet like a member of my own family. I understand that every animal has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level, so I take the time to get to know them and provide individualized care. I'm dependable, attentive, and committed to keeping pets happy, safe, and comfortable while their owners are away. Whether it's playtime, walks, cuddles, medication schedules, or simply providing companionship, I make sure each pet gets plenty of love and attention. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away. During summertime I have more flexibility, however, during the school year I work as a school bus driver, so it allows me to care for your pet during my Monday breaks as well I have taken care of pets for friends and family for years and have 2 of my own doggies, so I am well experienced to provide great care for your pets in the comfort of their own home.

About: I've loved dogs my whole life and have owned three of my own, giving me firsthand experience with their daily care, exercise, and companionship. In addition to caring for my own pets, I've looked after dogs and cats for family members, friends, and neighbors. I also have cared for two mini doodles for several weeks over the past few summers, along with the families pet lizard and guinea pig. Additionally, I regularly volunteer at a local animal shelter, where I walk and play with dogs of all sizes and help feed and socialize cats. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and am committed to making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. I am currently working part time, so I will have plenty of time to check in on your pets throughout the day! I can also take your dogs out for walks, multiple times a day if needed. I will follow instructions you leave to make sure I am giving your pets everything they need. I have no problem taking dogs to dog parks or for long walks depending on their needs.

Tanya did so great with my dogs. She did a meet and greet with my pups before I left them with her. She gave updates with photos when I was gone. I highly recommend her as a dog walker. She’s very kind, and attentive to detail. I will be booking her again for future dog walks.
