“I can not say enough kind words. Anestacia treats my boy like her own. She shows up at the promised time, follows my instructions to a tee and always lets me know how my boy is when she stops in to take him for a walk. I highly recommend trusting her to take care of your pets.”
“Sarah has been a wonderful dog walker for our dog. She is thoughtful and caring, sends photos, updates and lets me know how our senior dog is feeling when she sees her. She has given us peace of mind!”
About: I have had dogs since I was 7 years old. I currently own two of my own and both are age 2. I help family when they are out of town with the care of their dogs. I currently work part time flexible hours! I can start around 9am until late night. I can do long weekend care as well. Flexibility open I do have two dogs with a fenced in yard. My dogs love to run and play with new dogs, if you need day boarding.
About: Hi there! I’m Erin — a full-time teacher during the school year and a full-time dog lover year round. During the summer, I have lots of extra time and flexibility to take your pups on long walks or stop by for drop-in visits when you need a hand. I’ve lived with and cared for dogs my entire life and currently have two of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. I’m calm, friendly, and always take the time to get to know each dog’s unique personality and comfort level. Whether your pup is high-energy or a little more shy, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. Looking forward to meeting you and your best friend! For the months of July and August I am completely free 7 days a week all day long. During the school year, I work as a teacher so I am at work from around 7:30-3:30. However, my evenings and weekends remain completely free. I have a fenced in yard and 2 happy pups to keep your furry friend company! Dogs are allowed on the furniture and I am happy to let them either roam free downstairs or be put in a kennel when I am not home. I have a gate that keeps my dog from going upstairs when I’m not home, so that can be closed at any time during the day too. Let me know what you prefer and we will make it work in order to let your pet be as comfortable as possible!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was a kid. I grew up on a farm, and we always had animals to care for. Currently, I have 1 dog and 4 cats, we rescued a cat family. I am working part time so I will have plenty of opportunity to care for your dog. Anytime would be a good time for me to board your pet, drop in to house sit or take your dog for a walk. I have a large fenced yard, a large awning area, and a garage set up for shade, along with other dog friendly amenities. I have a doggy pool and dog beds for cozy comfort. Lots of room to run and play as well.
“Mariah is attentive , punctual and trustworthy. Best of all, she really took an interest in our dog / family member and was eager to get to know her. We will ask Mariah to care for our sweet girl again in the near future!”
About: I am a dedicated pet owner myself, with animals ranging from indoor cats and dogs to farm friends like LGDs, goats, chickens and even honeybees. The same care, attention and love that I give to my own animals will be extended to yours too! I am currently off for the summer as I teach high school during the fall and spring. This offers me a great opportunity to help and take care of your loved pets for any quick trips, long work days or family vacations. I would follow the instructions provided by the pet parents. This would ensure the safety and comfort for everyone, especially the pets being cared for.
About: I have been working with dogs since I was in 6th grade. I trained my childhood dog through a 4H program and we completed at the county fair each year in Obedience and Rally. Now I have a rescue who over the past 4 years we've helped work through a lot of reactivity and she now is an active participant in Rally competitions and other classes. As a teacher my summer is wide open for walks and drop in visits. Once the school year starts after school and weekends are open. I'm very comfortable with dogs of various sizes and needs. I can crate your furry family members, get them fed, out for walks etc. I'm comfortable with various walking equipment from harnesses to gentle leaders and collars.
About: I love dogs and had one for 17 years! Our good boy recently crossed the rainbow bridge and we miss him so much. I have experience with young dogs, but also with senior dogs I am currently available during the day every weekday, so whether it’s an early morning or late afternoon walk, I can be there no problem! I treat every dog like my own and give them as long as a walk as they prefer or as many pets as they desire!
About: Transporting pets across the country has shown me how to properly tend and care for animals. Having owned and trained two dogs over the years, has also proven to show the nitty gritty details that you just do not receive when only working with them at a job. I hope in choosing me to take care of your precious pets, that not only will I prove to be the most calming and caring person that will put your pets at ease, but also one who can put you at ease with the trust that your pet is in good hands. I work at a pet store part-time for the local owner, Shaun, for the Lucky Dog Co. I am never there for greater than a 5 hour shift. I have multiple sized cages ranging from extra small, to large. I do not have a customized crate, however the largest size I offer is a 700 series sized crate. These will only be used when I am not home. Your pet will have a fenced in property. There will always be clean water to drink from. I will feed them depending on your preferences for feeding. Otherwise, once in the morning and once in the evening. I look forward to taking care of your pets. Thank-you for choosing me!
“Tara has been the best!!! She’s walked Abby a few times so far, I work long hours so having someone trustworthy is important and she is nothing but amazing, and super attentive with abby!”
About: I grew up around and with dogs and absolutely adore them. From chihuahua’s to rottweilers I love them all! I was bit as a child so do have some fear when it comes to reactive dogs and would rather not sit for them. While my expertise is cats the more dogs I’ve sat the more comfortable I am. So not only am I helping you but you’re helping me :) My boyfriend and I both work 9-5 most days but can always stop by for checkins on our breaks. We sit together and work around our schedules to make time for the pets we care for. We have multiple cats as well as fish, frogs, and a lizard. We know how important routines are and do our best to keep your pet in their routine. We ask that your Rover profile is updated with all the information needed to care for your pet up to your standard. Some examples would be feeding and bathroom routines.
About: i’ve had a passion for animals since I was a child. i’ve taken care of small dogs, large dogs, and cats since I was around 16 years old. I recently graduated with my masters in social work, and I have been working part time as a manager at a pet store for five years now. I now am a school social worker as my career. I have a good understanding of the amount of time and energy that is needed to be put into taking care of animals. I do work during the day from the hours of 7am- 2pm.

I have lots of experience from my work, as well as pet sitting in the past. I have taken care of dogs and cats, so I know how much time and dedication goes into making sure each pet is safe, happy and healthy!
About: I have years of experience with dogs. I am happy to check in on your furry friend or take them for a walk! I know it can be difficult with work to have an animal stuck in the house alone. It's hard to know they are alone. I wish I could have someone come over and check on my guy, let me do that for you. I will update you with anything you need to know about your dog. If there are special needs that are required, I'd be happy to listen. A happy dog is one that has some fun during the day. I will play with them, walk them and comfort them (if that is required). Dogs love me and I love dogs! I am currently working out of my home and have a flexible schedule that allows me to take your fur baby for a walk or even check on them while you are at work! I will care for your dog like they are mine. I will abide by any rules and requirements you have. I will be very careful with your dog and make sure their safety is paramount.
About: I love to play with dogs and cats and just be able to give them my love and affection while their owner is not able to. Animals have been my entire life and i would do anything for mine. I love to take walks as it is so enjoying it with a dog is a dream. I live in an apartment with a huge yard, and am very welcoming to any pets that need somewhere to go while their owner is busy. I currently have one dog and two cats at my apartment and the other tenants do not have dogs and do not use the yard. I own my car so driving places is no problem and i am a very trustworthy person so you will have no concerns about your pets well being while with me:)
