About: Book now before I update my prices on September 20, 2025! Scroll through my photos to see the backyard your pet will get to run around in! I have 2 years experience volunteering and fostering pets at my favorite pet rescue organization and the humane society. I have 5 years of experience caring for my brothers 3 shar-pei’s (ages 1-3) whenever they’re away, which is on a regular basis. I also have experience caring for my sisters senior stray cat that she took in and adopted. I have experience in potty training puppies and will wake up in the middle of the night if needed. I also have 4+ years of nanny and childcare experience with one family of 3 children so you know I’m also trustworthy with housesitting and with children as well! :) if you have any questions, please let me know! I am currently a stay at home wife with no children. I currently moved here because my husband is in the military so I have all the time in the world for your fur babies. I like hiking and going on walks to play Pokémon go so taking dogs on walks would fit right into my schedule! I love playing fetch, cuddling and teaching tricks when I spend time with pets. I verify that the floor is clear or debris and small objects to avoid a choking hazard, thus I often sweep because safety is a priority of mine. I live with my husband who also loves animals and constantly have his support and help. I encourage gentleness in dogs and always give them affection.

About: I love walking and running. Being outdoors as much as I can when it’s nice out! 🌞 I pay a good attention to details and often like to double check things. I do whatever is asked of me. I always do my best and with honesty. Accept same day bookings as long as I don’t already have something planned of course! Don’t have kids or personal pets of my own. Just family pets. If I have to be gone for more than what the dog is allowed to be alone. Then I will go back and check on them and let them out for a quick potty break. I’m also looking for a full time job right now. So I’m not booking anything for more than 2 weeks out. Sorry for any inconvenience. Right now I’m flexible and my job is flexible. I only work 2 days a week in the summer. During the school year, I will be trying to substitute teach more base on the need. But I would be gone no more than 8 hours. I walk the dog on side walk or on the road if it’s a busy neighborhood. I feed and give your dog water. Also medication if they take any. I also play with your dog if requested or I see the need.

About: Ever since being a young little girl, I have cared for dogs and they have a special place in my heart. I grew up with a yellow lab and took great care of her. As an adult I am the go-to pet sitter for my family and friends. I have watched small family farm taking care of goats, horses, dogs, and outdoor cats too. I have more experience with mid to older dogs than puppies, but I have also helped take care of puppies too. I am currently searching for a full-time position; therefore, I have flexibility for during the day for potty breaks or walks, evening care, and overnight stay at your house. I am unfortunately renting currently and have a no pet policy so I cannot board at this time. Your pet is to be treated like my own. I follow the owners lead but I love playtime, indoor or outdoor, walks by leash and harness, and cuddles and loves. I only give treats if that is what the household wants. I wish to keep the routine as similar to what the animal is used to.

About: I’m a special education teacher looking to earn extra money. I can help you on a busy day or while on vacation by taking great care of your fur baby. I have 3 cats and have been around animals my whole life. I can help with pets after 4pm, on weekends, and any time during school breaks. I’m close to most places in the tri-cities and have reliable transportation. I love going for walks with dogs, playing catch, snuggling cats, making sure they eat, and help them feel safe and happy while you are away. I’m great at communication and will keep you updated if you want reassurance things are going well while you are gone.

I follow feeding and care instructions very closely and will send updates and pictures of how the animals are doing. I'm trustworthy, reliable, and will make sure your pets are well taken care of! I work from home as a writer, so my schedule is very flexible. I can schedule multiple dog walks per week and can easily include dog sitting into my schedule.

About: Hi there! I bring a lifetime of experience caring for all kinds of animals - from horses and chickens to cats, dogs, birds, and pocket pets. During my 13-year career as a veterinary technician, I developed deep expertise in animal care. Now that I work remotely, I have more flexibility to share my passion and knowledge by helping other pet parents care for their furry family members. At home, my husband and I have our own little menagerie: a goofy Rottweiler and two sweet cats (both of whom found their way to us through my work at veterinary hospitals). I absolutely love spending my free time taking long walks with our Rottie through the beautiful parks around Midland and Freeland, and playing with her in our backyard. I'd be thrilled to provide that same dedicated care and attention to your pets too! I own my business which is ran remotely so I’m in control of my schedule:) I am able to be flexible on my daily routine to make time for your pet. I’ll follow your guidelines on how you want your pet cared for and handled in your home and on walks. During the warmer months, I’ll offer off leach time, with my friendly pooch in our 1/2 acre fenced yard as well if this interest you and your pet is social & enjoys playing outside.

About: I have been dog sitting for approximately 10 years for all different dogs. I treat all dogs as my own and welcome them into my home! Neighbors, friends, and strangers have all relied on me to take care of their special animals while they are away. I am open to walks, taking dogs to the park, or to animal friendly stores. I am also willing to give bathes! I am very active and would love to be part of your dogs daily exercise routine! I work 3-4 days a week so my days off vary and am able to be home all day on my days off of work. I also have great availability to walk dogs all day long if you need your special pet to get exercise while you are gone. I love to exercise, and enjoy taking dogs on walks to many different parks. I have a fenced in backyard that dogs are able to play in and a safe neighborhood for walks, with many dog parks. All dogs will receive the exercise they need.

“Emerson took care of my Terrier/Chihuahua 4 x a day for a week while I cared for a family member who had surgery out of state. My dog is kind of a handful because she needs medicine twice a day and she takes a while to get used to people. But right away as soon as I met Emerson and saw how she interacted with my dog, I felt like she had the experience and skill to care for her. Because I need someone that will care for her and walk and feed her. And as the week went by and I received her daily check-in‘s, I thought more and more about my son‘s health and didn’t worry about my baby girl doggy at home. This was a big relief for me so I’m very grateful to Emerson and the Rover.com app which makes it easy to see when she was fed, walks and other daily activities.”


About: Hi, I'm Lexie. I am high-masking autistic, which for me means that I look and sound pretty "normal" but my brain is structured differently. My special interest is dogs! Mainly behavior but also history, breeds, care... Anything dog. I am a dog-trainer-in-training currently pursuing certifications that will help me teach dogs with behavioral issues that the world is ok! I am experienced with multi-dog homes that need "crate and rotate" care, "hands off" care, puppy care, and if you leave instructions I could do just about anything- I am not bothered by reptiles, amphibians, non-flying (pet or feeder) bugs, although I am nervous of birds. I'm very detail oriented. My background in home healthcare ensures that your home and pet(s) will be respected, and I am comfortable administering oral or topical medications. My availability is from 9am-5pm Monday-Thursday, Fridays from 8am-3pm. On Fridays, my 5 year old is home with me and will likely accompany me to drop-ins. She is dog savvy (for her age) and is respectful of dogs and cats, but since she is small I can only visit cats and well-mannered pups! I am a fan of cooperative techniques. I would rather spend 15 minutes strategizing how to entice "Fluffy" back in their crate than try to force them. For potty visits, I prefer to clip a long drag line to the dogs harness or collar- just in case they don't respond to a recall from me, or if there is any chance at all they might make a break for it! That way, we can still play and have fun, but with a safe guard in place. For walks, I will always want to specify if you are wanting a structured walk or a sniffari, or a combination. Structured walking is only available to dogs that already know how to walk on a loose leash. If you are interested in loose leash walking, that is something we can work on! For feeding or medications, I will need exact instructions! How much food, what you use to measure it (example: 1 full scoop with the blue cup on the counter, 8oz raw thawed in fridge, fill up the black kong, etc), and amount of supplements or extras. For oral meds, please specify if it needs to be "hidden" and what to hide it in (wet food, pb, etc.)

About: I previously worked at VCA Animal Hospital & CityVet in Denver, CO for 5 years. Experienced with all types of animals, with extensive medical background as well. Also have raised my 3 doggos & one cat! Almost open availability at this time! Can work around a busy schedule or whatever is most convenient for everyone involved! I can work with night shifts as well if needed. I just moved back to Michigan from Denver, CO. I have 2 golden retrievers, named Olive & Opal, one Great Pyrenees named Albus and one ragdoll kitty named Tonks. They are all extremely spoiled at all times!

About: EMMAL85170 is $20 off your first booking! Open availability, experience with big dogs, I have walked many dogs in different weather conditions and also have had them stay at my house. I would be home or available most of the time to care for your furry friend. I grew up with all different types of dogs and I would treat your dog as if it were my own. I will try to stick to your pets normal routine to make them feel safe and secure. Please let me know if you need anymore information! I know it can be tough going away leaving your animal behind; even if it's just going to work, school, etc. I will do my best to meet the needs of your animal as well as yours! I am currently only dog walking right now for employment. I don't have a set schedule and am very flexible with times, days, weekends, and holidays. I base my care of pets on the service, location, personality, and needs. Every pet is different and I make sure to stick to what they like and their routine if they have one.

About: I've taken care of all kinds of animals all my life. I totally understand that your dog is you child. I have 2 of my own. Just moved to the area and wanted to try Rover. Something different. So as of now I'm doing only Rover. Open schedule as of now. I have a fenced in back yard on 20 wooded acres. You cannot see my house from the road. I also have an extra large crate if needed.
