About: I'm a long time animal lover and animal shelter volunteer/coordinator. I started dog walking/sitting two years ago and have made wonderful connections and gained invaluable experience with a variety of breeds. My 15 year old cat was my best friend and so I know how important it is to keep other people's furry best friends safe and stress free. I work remotely from home and am flexible with my breaks throughout the day. I never would charge for cancellations and am generally good with short notice needs. I make sure that each pet is comfortable with my presence in their home and try to maintain their routine exactly how they're used to it to reduce any anxiety. I let them warm up to me however they adjust best.

About: I've been the go-to catsitter among my family and friends since elementary school ! I've worked with indoor cats, outdoor cats, spicy cats, and kittens. I can adjust to your cat's every need ! Though I've mainly cared for cats, I also have experience with more exotic pets like fish, geckos, and tarantulas. I have a 30gal fish tank of my own ! I don't have another job at the moment, so I am available at any time. I will update days of unavailability as soon as possible. I'm very patient so if your pet isn't very trusting of new people, that's okay ! On the flipside, if your pet wants a friend then I can stick around !

If I could give 100 stars, I would! Anthony is highly knowledgeable, kind, calm, professional, punctual, and friendly. He has a perfect energy that puts dogs at ease. Our two pups have some behavioral issues that Anthony was actually able to shine light on and finally get myself and my fiancé on the same page. His professionalism shown through as well, and he made sure that the meeting was the best possible for our dogs. I can truly say that it was the most productive and positive experience I have had using Rover. I have had strong breeds my whole life and Anthony made an excellent impression on my German shepherd as well as my smaller dog, who is very picky about people. He helped us come up with next steps and made us feel at ease. We will definitely be using his services during our wedding weekend, and I know my dogs will be in excellent hands!

About: Hey! I’m Connor. I'm a Firefighter/EMT with pet CPR and First Aid certification. I live in my own home in a quiet suburban neighborhood with a large, securely fenced backyard. Both the house and yard were recently redone, so everything is safe, clean, and ready for your pet. Every dog I care for gets a tracking tag for extra peace of mind. During meals, all dogs are separated, and the home is kept neat, hazard-free, and even safe for those expert counter surfers! The space can also be easily divided if dogs need a little personal time. If you’re looking for someone responsible and experienced who can handle whatever situations pets throw your way - you’ve found the right person. The two priorities for your visit will be your dogs safety and plenty of photo and video updates so you know they're doing well! I live with my yellow lab Kygo. He’s super friendly, loves to play with all our visitors, and knows when to give space if another dog needs it. My cousin Patrick also lives with me so there's always someone in the house to keep an eye on your pup. I’ve raised many well trained dogs over the years, mostly Labs, using positive reinforcement and lots of patience instead of harsh discipline. As a firefighter I'm always over the top careful about things and its no different when it comes to my dogs. So if any medical issues or situations pop up I'll be sure to have medical info from you in advance so we can make sure your dog is taken care of. I am very familiar with the 24/7 vets in the area and their different specialties should something require immediate attention. We have a great dog walking area just down the street and my neighborhood is low traffic. Your dog will get several walks a day and lots of play time in the fenced in yard. I'll make sure you're kept in the know with plenty of pictures and updates and will always respond promptly to texts and calls. I know its nervewracking leaving your BFF with a new person so feel free to stop by the house to meet Kygo and me and see the yard. Drop me a line and we can chat, facetime, meet, or whatever puts you at ease. Looking forward to working with you and meeting your pet! I am often available for last minute bookings as well as weekends and holidays. So if the need arises so feel free to put in any last minute or holiday requests. Pets are always fed, given water, and walked and any special instructions provided by owner are taken care of. Directions always clarified to make sure we're on same page. Have worked with plenty of dogs with allergies and preventive measures taken with dogs that require extra attention!

About: Hi! My name is Rachel, and I’m 19 years old. I’m a reliable and caring dog lover with years of hands-on experience. I’ve been around dogs since I was young—my family got our first dog when I was 8, and ever since then I’ve been walking, playing with, and caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I truly love being around animals and making sure they feel happy, safe, and comfortable. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or more calm and shy, I always adapt to their needs and give them plenty of attention, exercise, and care. I currently work full-time during weekdays (10 AM–7 PM), so I’m currently available on weekends only. Once summer starts, I’ll be available 7 days a week with much more flexible scheduling. I’m new to Rover, but not new to caring for dogs, and I’m excited to build trust with both you and your pet. I treat every dog like they’re my own! Feel free to reach out anytime—I’d love to meet you and your pup!♥️🐾 I work full time 10am-7pm on weekdays, can walk your pup after 7pm, on weekends, i can walk any time of the day. Always reach out! I care for pets by ensuring they’re safe, comfortable, and happy at all times. I follow each owner’s instructions, provide plenty of love, attention, and exercise, and maintain a clean environment.

Ariadne has gone above and beyond for my pup and I. She is punctual, communicative and flexible! She stays a bit after the walk to make sure my pup is hydrated and settled before she leaves. She even brought her own bowl for his walk! I went from one or two walks, to hiring her full-time. Amazing!!
