About: I'm pretty new to Rover, but I’ve been caring for animals for most of my life and have experience with dogs, cats, hedgehogs, fish, and other small pets. I’m comfortable with pets of all ages, including seniors, and have experience administering oral medications, handling emergencies, and providing daily exercise and enrichment. I’m happy to schedule a meet-and-greet before services to learn your pet’s routine and ensure they feel comfortable. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just hanging out, my goal is to keep your pet happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. Safety is always my top priority, and I treat every home with respect—often leaving it a little cleaner than I found it. I am working a part time job during the weekdays, usually the shifts are 11am-4 or 5pm, and on the weekends I work longer shifts which vary in time. However... I have many weeks off here and there so I am free a lot of the time. My job is pretty flexible most of the time so I can leave work to walk your pups and make sure they are okay and then go back to work. My yard has an Invisible Fence for my dogs which works out quite nicely and whenever I have other people's dogs over I make sure to keep them on a leash so no accidents happen. That being said, I live with my parents so I would be more geared towards servicing in home visits and stays with your pets at your home.

“My typically timid Leo warmed up to Alex within minutes and only briefly hesitated before trotting off for their first walk together. Alex was wonderful and reassuring to him.”

“Hayley is the absolute best. Our pets love her, and we’ve been using her for some time now. She always goes above and beyond, and leave great notes about each check in.”

About: I got my first puppy when I was 8 years old, and ever since then I have always had an animal by my side. From cats to dogs to even ducks and chickens! I love them all!

About: I have over 12 years of hands on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I provide feeding, walks, drop in visits, playtime, enrichment, and medication administration with patience and care. I grew up with two Dachshunds and two Border Collies, which gave me experience with both energetic working dogs and smaller companion breeds. I’ve cared for dogs ranging from pugs to Bernese Mountain Dogs, as well as young cats, senior cats, and foster cats preparing for their forever homes. What sets me apart is my calm, structured, and dependable approach. I understand how important routines are for pets and work hard to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m also clean, tidy, respectful in clients’ homes, and committed to providing trustworthy care you can rely on.

I carefully follow feeding instructions, medication schedules, walking routines, and any household rules to keep pets comfortable. I pay close attention to pets’ behavior so I can respond calmly and appropriately to their needs. I keep homes clean and tidy, ensure doors and gates are secure. Building trust with both pets and owners is extremely important to me, and I treat every animal with patience, kindness, and respect.

About: Hi! I’ve grown up with animals my whole life and truly understand how much they mean to a family. I had a dog growing up and have a cat from childhood into my twenties, so caring for pets has always been a part of my daily routine. From walks, playtime, and training reinforcement to litter care, feeding schedules, and lots of cuddles — I’m comfortable and confident with both dogs and cats. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m currently applying to graduate school for my Master’s in Nursing and working part-time, which has helped me become very organized, responsible, and mindful with my schedule. I plan my days carefully and make sure I have dedicated time set aside for pet visits, walks, feeding, and quality attention. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and spending time with pets is actually a great balance to my academic and work responsibilities. Whether it’s morning, afternoon, or evening care, I make sure each visit is unhurried, attentive, and focused on your pet’s safety and comfort. You can count on me to be dependable, communicative, and consistent with your pet’s routine. I’m very affectionate and love giving pets the attention they deserve, but I also prioritize safety above everything. I’m attentive to routines, careful with doors and leashes, mindful on walks, and respectful of any specific instructions you provide. I understand that every pet has their own personality and comfort level, and I always aim to create a calm, secure, and loving environment where they feel safe.
“This was our first time using Rover and Emily exceeded our expectations (and then some!). She was super responsive, came to visit our high energy puppy before a week of walks, and very communicative with pictures and messages. Our puppy clearly adored her. I’d trust her with any dog and look forward to booking her again!”

About: I've had at least one dog in my house since I was in first grade. My first dog is no longer with us however, I currently have a 9-year-old black lab and a 7-month-old silver lab. My dogs love to go on hiking trails, and with your permission, I can also take your dog to new locations. I unfortunately don't have experience with other people's dogs except for friends and family. I'm currently working part-time, so I'm very flexible with times. I will put my dogs' needs first, however, making sure I have time to give them the exercise and attention they deserve. My dogs are my best friends. I always show love and respect towards them. I also understand how a dog's life can be boring sometimes. Giving them a new environment to sniff out creates a happy and exhausted pup. I try to take my older dog on a new walk/hike every week to give them an adventure and something to look forward to. I'm hoping to provide the same for your dogs. I am also a runner, so I wouldn't mind running alongside your dog. Walking/hiking/running, whatever you prefer.
About: Hi there! I’ve taken care of dogs since a very young age. I began professionally sitting about 4 years ago now. I have experience with all breeds of dogs, from English Mastiffs to Cockapoo’s. I have references from families I have sat for outside of this app, so feel free to ask for those if you’d like. Aside from sitting and dog walking, I am willing to provide other tasks around your home if needed while you are away. I have a very flexible schedule so I have plenty of time to devote to caring for your fur babies when needed! Because of my flexible schedule, I can provide stability to your pups already established day to day schedule. While taking care of your fur baby, I always ensure to follow care directions to the T so your pet is as comfortable as possible while you are away.
About: Ever since a young age, I have been taking care of animals. For 14 years, I had a white German Shepherd, and she was truly part of the family. Starting in high school I would volunteer to pet sit for anyone who needed my services! No matter big or small, I love them all. Unfortunately, I don’t have any pets of my own currently, so I have to get my puppy loving from other peoples pets! I’d love to get the chance to help you out! Right now I’m currently available after 4:30 PM during the weekdays. If given enough notice, I’m available, full weekends as well. I know most people love planning ahead and so do I! Considering your pet will be in their own home, I will do my best to stick to their usual routine. Whether it’s letting them out on a leash or in your fenced in backyard. If your pet uses a cage, I will follow whatever protocol you choose!

Our fur babies love Matthew, and so do we! It's such a RELIEF to go away knowing that he will not let anything get in the way of caring for our Aussie and two finicky cats - not rain, nor sleet, nor snow will keep Matthew away, and the way he really cares about our furry members warms us all up.
This was our first time using Rover and Emily exceeded our expectations (and then some!). She was super responsive, came to visit our high energy puppy before a week of walks, and very communicative with pictures and messages. Our puppy clearly adored her. I’d trust her with any dog and look forward to booking her again!
