About: I grew up with cats and have raised two pups since they were around 10 weeks old. I’ve taken them to multiple levels of training classes and groom them at home. I treat my animals like they’re my children and would be happy to spread my love along to your furry friends! I work from home during the week, so I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to fit in pet care easily! I enjoy keeping busy, especially if it includes being around furry friends! I ensure pets receive adequate amount of food, playtime, attention and love each day. One of my pets was diagnosed with anxiety as a puppy, which has been a huge learning experience during walks and interactions with other dogs and people. I am a very patient person and would be happy to take care of pets regardless of their needs, personalities and behaviors. :)
“Shelby is completely awesome!!!! Very communicative, dependable, and obviously cares for all animals. I’m stuck on the 2nd floor due to a broken leg, so she has really helped me in a jam!”
About: I am a true animal lover! I’ve had pets since I was little that I’ve helped take care of and have looked after pets for my family and friends. Having pets of my own that I love and care deeply for gives me a deeper understanding when it comes to someone else’s. Walks, play time, potty breaks or time spent loving on your furry friend is my helping goal. I have an open and flexible schedule, can care for your pets while away at work. Walks to tire them out, outdoor potty breaks, or playtime inside / out to ensure they aren’t bored or restless while you’re away. I’m open to walking any size dog however long needed and ensuring they’re properly cared for after the fact. I’m comfortable leashing and harnessing, as well as recognizing when a dog is ready to relax.
“Samantha has been awesome with our puppy!!! Her communication is wonderful and she is always prompt. She gives extra TLC and Keira just loves her. We feel fortunate to have found her and we are very comfortable leaving our puppy in her care.”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely enjoy. Right now I have four cats, two dogs, and two rabbits, so I’m used to taking care of multiple pets with different needs and personalities. One of my dogs is very old and has become blind and deaf, which has taught me a lot about patience, paying attention to details, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable. Caring for him has given me experience working with animals that need a little extra support and attention. I also volunteered at a horse rescue and rehabilitation facility for a year, where I helped with feeding, grooming, cleaning stalls, and caring for horses. Working with horses taught me how to safely handle large animals, stay calm under pressure, and understand animal behavior. It gave me a lot of confidence and responsibility that I still use when caring for pets today. Besides my own animals, I’ve helped care for pets belonging to family, friends, and neighbors over the years. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, litter box cleaning, basic medications, playtime, and making sure pets get plenty of attention while their owners are away. I’m a 19-year-old college student currently on summer break and working part-time, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets because I feel the same way about my own. My goal is always to make pets feel happy, comfortable, and loved while giving their owners peace of mind. ❤️ As a college student on summer break, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability outside of my part-time job. This allows me to dedicate time and attention to each pet’s needs, whether that means drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, or simply providing companionship. I’m reliable, organized, and committed to making sure pets receive consistent, quality care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routines as closely as possible to help their pets feel comfortable and secure. I provide fresh food and water, clean up after pets, ensure they get plenty of exercise, playtime, and attention, and carefully follow any special instructions. I also treat each home with respect and keep pet owners updated so they can have peace of mind while they’re away.

My schedule is put out weeks in advance so I’m able to communicate what hours I’m available and not. I don’t offer at-home boarding since I don’t have a fenced yard, but I’m happy to care for pets in their own home where they feel most comfortable. I’ll tidy up after myself, stick to their routine, and make sure they’re having fun whilst still maintaining a happy, and safe, environment.

Because I am home throughout the day, I am able to offer a stress-free environment for dogs who might experience separation anxiety or those who simply thrive on having someone nearby.

“Madeline is amazing! She responsed right away to our request for a one hour walk. She asked to come early to meet Maya and was so sweet with her. She was attentive and cared about Maya's needs and behaviors and talked to our dog in a way Maya can relate to when she is home. I love her energy and look forward to having her come back! We highly recommend Madeline!”
About: I have a huge love for all animals and I recently lost my childhood dog, so I have so much love to give towards all of your fur babies. I am a college student and have a part time job. So being able to see and care for animals throughout my day would give me so much joy. In your home I will try to make the pet feel comfortable since you won’t be there. I have dog say many time and I have learned for them to feel comfortable I also have to feel comfortable.
About: home full time!!! Nail trims available during boarding or day care For an extra $10 per dog! Hi everyone! I’m Marielle! I’m very experienced with dogs especially but cats too! I’ve done just about every job you can do with animals, from managing a doggy day care, to working in grooming salon, to being a veterinary assistant. I have worked with animals professionally for 10 years and counting! I do have a few pets of my own right now, I have an Italian greyhound who is just my baby and a cat Theo who pretty much leaves all the dogs alone. I have no problem with any breed or any size dog, and know how to handle timid and anxious animals as well. I am extremely loving and treat every animal as if they were my own! please be advised that even though this is my full-time job, I am in enforcing a new policy, which states that I am only allowing pick up and drop offs between 7AM and 10 PM. If you need to pick up or drop off before or after these times, I will have to add an additional fee or you can book for an extra night so i can have a regulated schedule. I am home full-time so my days revolve around the dogs although i still have to leave my house for errands an appointments so pet must be able to be crated for when i do have to leave for everyone’s safety. I treat every animal as if they were my own. Safety wise I do prefer if they can be crated for a few hours when I am not home as some animals can get anxious in new places and start getting into things that they shouldn’t and potentially harm themselves. I do not have a fenced in yard at the moment. I still take dogs out for potty breaks and walks 3 times a day.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Shelby
Taylor walks our dog in a regular basis. Our schedule is now different every week and we always appreciate her flexibility when and if we need to make changes. She is reliable and great with communication. She replies to all of our requests to book promptly. As we move into cold weather she asks about how to handle walking with our almost 10 year old dog, especially on bitter or icy days. We are very thankful!!

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
