About: I grew up on a dairy farm in the country. I’ve been around a plethora of animals my whole life. Currently just have my sweet adopted dog Rosie who has been with me for over 10 years. I’ve been watching my friends dogs for years. I always seem to have another pup in the house I am watching. I decided to finally set up a rover profile:) My house is clean and organized. Dogs are allowed on couches and beds. I make sure to give lots of hugs and belly rubs! I work from home so I am around most of the time. I periodically have to leave home, but no longer than a few hours at a time. My husband is usually home too. We live in a large new apartment that has two balconies. We live right by a park and take our dog to the park throughout the day. I generally take a long walk in the afternoon with the pups. I do have a little fake grass patch on one of the balconies in case there is an emergency! I am willing to follow directions and apply any dietary needs to your pet. Our balconies are safe. We do have stairs, but if your dog is old, we are willing to pick them up to go up and down the stairs. We always keep the leash on when we walk and go to the park. We live by the beach, but have an AC unit if it gets hot or muggy.

About: What I would say sets me apart from other walkers/sitters, is my care and attention to each dog’s unique needs. I have experience with both puppies and senior dogs, and adjust my care style accordingly. I have always had a passion for animals, and making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m currently working part-time, so my schedule is extremely flexible! I am available almost everyday, all day to care for your pups! I’m going off to college in the fall, so I’m trying to save up some extra money this summer doing what I love! On walks, I focus on keeping pets safe, comfortable, and happy. I always stay alert to surroundings, and avoid busy or unsafe areas. I always make sure to bring water on longer walks, watch for signs of tiredness or overheating, and give them time to sniff and explore. I also reinforce good leash behavior with gentle guidance and positive encouragement. Each walk is a mix of exercise, care, and fun.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats essentially my entire life, so I’m comfortable with pets of all breeds, sizes, and ages. I have hands-on experience with energetic puppies who require patience and extra attention, as well as senior pets that need a gentle touch. In fact, right now we have a puppy, a senior dog, and a senior cat at home, so I’m well-practiced in managing a variety of needs and responsibilities. I currently work part-time three to four days a week, which gives me plenty of availability to focus on pet care. I’m looking forward to offering loving care as a side gig until I return to college in late September. I make it a priority to keep an up-to-date schedule and communicate frequently so that both pets and owners know what to expect. When caring for pets, I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. To me, this means following each pet’s individual routine, including feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, and any special needs they may have.


“Michelle was great! She was very punctual and sent me pictures once the walk had ended. She was very responsive and friendly. I would absolutely use her again. Thank you, Michelle!”

I am a content creator so my schedule is very open and flexible, any day and time I can usually work in, especially with a heads up! In my home I don’t have a yard so I walk my dog 4 times a day in the neighborhood to go to the bathroom and stretch his legs. If your dog stays with me, it will get the same amount of walks (if you want that).

About: Hi, I’m Mirjam! 🙋🏼♀️ I’ve been caring for dogs for over 14 years and currently live with my yellow Labrador, Hamachi, who’s turning 4 this summer. I work from home, which means I’m around throughout the day and have a flexible schedule to walk or care for dogs when you need it — whether it’s a quick walk, a drop-in visit, or longer care. Over the years, I’ve looked after all kinds of breeds — from high-energy Aussies to laid-back Labs and everything in between. I’ve learned how to adjust to different temperaments, energy levels, and routines, whether it’s playtime, long walks, or just calm companionship. I also have experience with older dogs and pups who need a bit of extra attention or patience. I’m new to Rover, so you won’t see any reviews just yet — but I hope that gives me a chance to show you how much I genuinely care. I take my time getting to know each dog and treat them with the same kindness and care I give my own. Looking forward to meeting your pup! 🐶❤️ I work from home so am very flexible on walk times, drop offs and boarding. I am walking my labrador three times a day and can coordinate walk times based on it. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on keeping them safe, happy, and relaxed by following their usual routines as closely as possible. I make sure they get plenty of exercise, enrichment, and affection — and yes, that often means beach walks, park time, and even trips to the dog beach if they enjoy it! For dogs staying with me, I offer a calm and dog-friendly environment with lots of attention throughout the day. For dogs I care for in their own homes, I make sure they feel comfortable in their familiar space and keep communication open with their owners. Every dog is different, and I do my best to make them feel loved and secure while you’re away.
