Ethanee has been sitting/walking my oliver since he was two months old. He ADORES her and I’m so grateful for her care. She’s attentive, kind, communicative, punctual and respectful of my home/care requests for him. I will use her as long as her schedule allows!

About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember, and caring for pets has always been one of the greatest joys in my life. From dogs and cats to horses, birds, fish, and even ferrets, I’ve had the privilege of sharing my days with so many wonderful animals over the years. Each one has taught me something new about love, patience, and companionship, and I carry that experience with me into every pet I care for. Right now, I share my home with a lively crew—a sweet senior Husky hybrid who’s 15 years old, a playful 7-month-old Cattle Dog, two affectionate cats (one a sprightly senior of 14 years), and a handful of fish who bring calm and beauty to my space. Because of them, I have firsthand experience with pets at every stage of life. I understand the patience and special attention seniors need, as well as the energy and safe guidance puppies and kittens require as they grow. My passion for animals has inspired me to pursue a career as a Veterinary Technician, but no matter the path, one thing is certain: caring for animals will always be at the heart of what I do. I love spending time outdoors with pets, going on walks, playing their favorite games, and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. Whether your pet is playful and energetic or prefers quiet snuggles and gentle care, I’ll treat them like one of my own. When your furry (or feathered, or finned!) family members are with me, you can feel confident that they’ll be cared for with warmth, patience, and lots of love. I’m available bright and early in the mornings all the way through the evening for drop-in visits, walks, and check-ins. My regular availability is from 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM every day of the week, weekends included. I understand that every pet and family has different routines, so I’m happy to be flexible and work around the times that suit you best. I’m also available most weekends for house sitting, giving you peace of mind that your pets (and home) are well cared for while you’re away. If there’s ever a time I won’t be available, I’ll always update my schedule in advance so you’ll never be left guessing. My goal is to make things as smooth and stress-free as possible for both you and your pets! I am able to travel throughout the county and city, and I’m comfortable caring for pets in a wide variety of environments, including apartments, houses, farm properties, sidewalks, parks, and outdoor settings. No matter the location, I make it a priority to ensure pets feel secure and cared for in their familiar surroundings. I follow all owner instructions carefully, whether it’s feeding schedules, medication, exercise routines, or special accommodations. Maintaining consistency is important, and I will make sure your pets’ routines are carried out to your exact standards. While house sitting, I provide ongoing attention and companionship throughout the day, and during walks or check-ins, your pets will always have my full, undivided focus. I ensure that pets have access to fresh water, proper meals, and any other care items they may need. I am also fully comfortable working in all types of weather and terrain, so your pets’ care will never be disrupted by outside conditions.

Bill did a wonderful job walking Callie every day. She usually doesn’t just go off with somebody new that she’s never met. But she really liked Bill from the start. The whole week went very well. Bill is a very kind man with a warm heart toward animals. I will definitely use him again when I need somebody to watch Callie or to walk her.

About: I have experience caring for dogs and cats and am confident in providing attentive, reliable care. My experience includes feeding, walking, playtime, and maintaining daily routines. I prioritize each pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being, and I strive to provide dependable care so owners can feel confident while they are away. Pet care is already a regular part of my daily routine. I currently care for two kittens and a puppy, so my schedule includes feeding, playtime, walks, training, and cleaning throughout the day. Because I’m used to balancing the different needs of young pets, I’m organized, attentive, and consistent with routines. This makes it easy for me to provide reliable, high-quality care for additional pets during the week. In my home, I provide a safe, clean, and pet-friendly environment with close supervision, regular feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention. I follow established routines and provide age-appropriate care, including training support for puppies and enrichment for kittens. In a client’s home, I respect their space and closely follow all care instructions to keep pets comfortable in their familiar environment. This includes feeding, walks, litter box or waste cleanup, playtime, medication if needed, and regular updates to owners. My goal is to maintain consistency, reduce stress, and ensure each pet feels secure and well cared for.

About: I have had cats and dogs around since I was a child. I have been boarding for almost 2 years, and walking/doing check-ins for nearly 8 years. I started out doing walks to help fill my want for pets. But now that I have two of my own, I realized this is something I really love doing and it is always a joy to meet other peoples' fur babies. In my home, I do have one other dog who LOVES to play and gets along with every animal and human he meets. I have a scaredy cat, and a handful of kiddos who I have taught animal etiquette to since they were all babies. We have cared for the smallest dogs to the largest. We have had older dogs, puppies, dogs recovering from surgery, and females in heat (although not at the moment until our puppy is fixed). We love your babies like they are our own, and love to be able to take them with us if we ever go on any adventures while they are here (of course, with permission!) I am a stay at home mom, so I am home the majority of the day to care for any animals in my home. My kids are AMAZING with animals, as I have taught lots of animal etiquette over the years caring for animals -- and now that we have our own fur babies too. In my home, we just treat your fur babies like one of our own. We give them lots of attention, play time, walk time, etc. I also incorporate your schedules with ours (ie feeding, etc). If there are any special requests, I fulfill those needs. When I go to a clients home, I respect everything around me and be as gentle and careful as to make sure that the fur babies are comfortable with me in their home.

About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I give to every pet. I treat every animal as if they were my own: learning their quirks, routines, and comfort zones so they feel safe and happy while you’re away. I’m patient with shy or anxious pets and full of energy for playful ones! Whether it’s long walks, extra cuddle time, or sticking to a specific feeding schedule, I make sure your pet gets personalized care and love. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine! I plan my days around walks, playtime, and check-ins to make sure every pet gets the attention and care they deserve. I love spending time outdoors and being active, so walks and visits fit perfectly into my lifestyle. Caring for pets isn’t something I squeeze in, it’s something I truly enjoy every day. When I care for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping everything as familiar and stress-free as possible. I follow your instructions carefully. From feeding schedules and walks, to medication or specific routines. I spend quality time with each pet so they feel loved and secure, and I always make sure your home is respected and left tidy. I want you to come back to a happy pet and a peaceful home.

About: I am a friend to all dogs and cats! I have had pets all my life and love taking care of fur babies. I work from home and am always available for a drop in, daycare, and especially a home for the holidays. I have a friendly small dog and aloof cat in my home . My home has a fenced in yard with plenty of grass for potty breaks. I am also experienced with giving medicine in case your little one has any conditions which require said service. Whether it's going for a long walk around the neighborhood or taking a trip to the dog park, I promise your pets will be happy and safe with me! I work from home as I mentioned so I am available for all of my services anytime. I take my work phone with me so if I need to stop by during business hours, it is perfectly fine! I care for every animal by giving them love and attention. I am the kind of person who enjoys spending time with animals so whether they’re in my home or I go to your home I always enjoy spending quality time with them and making sure they know they are safe and well cared for.

Lauren is wonderful. She's the first walker I've had who cares way more about ensuring the boys have a nice long walk than about the time. She is so good with both my energetic young boy and my slow old man, and they just absolutely love her. Thank you Lauren!!!

Greg is a natural dog whisperer. I was reluctant when I first started using Rover, but I knew that I didn’t want to board my dogs every time I left town. My goal was to find a dog walker with the aspirations of finding a house sitter who could stay with our dogs when we travel. Let’s face it, it’s a total stranger and these are my babies and one of my babies is very particular about strangers. That baby happens to be a 200 pound English Mastiff so it’s hard to find people that want to walk him but also that he trusts. Well, it worked! Greg started walking our Mastiff three times a week prior to housesitting and our dog (s) fell in love with him. It was an easy transition. The housesitting was also a success. 🌈 I’m not going to lie, I gulped at first when I saw how much it would cost for the housesitting. However, when I looked at the cost to board 4️⃣ dogs, have them groomed, pay for the extra playtime bc lets face it, they are in a cage and then multiply it by four-I justified it and put faith in the Universe that it would work out. Greg took care of them as if they were his own. He walked each of them twice a day and played with them. We were able to leave the dogs in their environment, with their routine, their food, I could go on and on. Why Greg is so great: ⏰for starters he’s punctual — always on time. 📱 I love that you can see where they walk and he always takes pictures of the dogs while they’re on their walk and sends them to me. 🐕🐶The dogs love him. I’m going to regret weiting this review bc now he is going to be booked liked crazy, but he deserves the shout out!
