About: I’ve taken care of several small/medium sized dogs including a basset hound, jack russell terrier, Doberman, and walrus dog. Currently have one dog with my wife living in a 2 bedroom apt. I work a full time job, but am typically home between 5 pm - 9 am. My apt complex has a small dog park that I take my dog to so she can play, and one empty room in the apartment complex with very little furniture so the dogs can play. I take my dog for walks everyday, and like to play with her inside with the many toys we have. I also bathe her and cut her nails so I am experienced in interacting closely with dogs
About: I am currently a psychology student so I have a very flexible schedule which will help to accommodate any of my client's needs. I've had an intense love for animals ever since young childhood. I deeply adore animals of all kinds. It truly brings me the utmost happiness to provide services for dogs of any size or age. I grew up with dogs so I'm quite excellent at anticipating all their needs. I am an extremely hard worker so your dog will be my top priority whenever it is in my care. I will ensure that I care for them as intently as I can possibly can. I am very familiar with basic dog commands as well. All in all, I am more than excited to meet your 4-legged companion! 💛 I’m currently working remotely so I have a lot of availability and freedom in my schedule to take care of all of your dog's needs. I’m unable to take care of any pets in my apartment, unfortunately but I’m more than happy to take care of your pets every need to in your home!
“Angela helped us last minute while I was out of town and my partner was busy. She was very communicative and kind. Our pup had to take some medication and she did well with that. Many thanks for your help!”
“Jessica is awesome! She sent lots of updates about the two cats and it was clear they loved seeing her and sitting on her lap from the photos!”
About: I have 18 years of animal care experience, including my beloved dog Belle, who was part of the family for 11 years before she went to doggy heaven. I worked at a veterinary center for 2 years and a doggy daycare, so I know exactly how to care for every type of dog. I also have experience with dog walking and doing house visits - just my first time using Rover! As far as training experience, I interned at the Shedd Aquarium working alongside dolphin, otter, and penguin trainers so I even have a stash of knowledge about animal training. I have a Bachelor of Science in animal sciences, so I understand your pets inside and out. I have a lot more experience with animal care that I would love to share, just send me a message! Sundays and Mondays are usually open. During the week, I'm mostly available for evening drop-in visits and walks after 5pm or so, but I may have some flexibility so feel free to ask! I always treat my clients' homes with respect. Locking the door back while I walk your dog, cleaning up any messes, and sticking to task are all part of my routine. Because of my years of animal care experience, I am trained to look for abnormal behaviors in pets and follow-up. I provide photos and messages with updates so you never have to worry if everything is alright. Currently, I do not own any pets of any kind so you don't have to worry about your pet interacting with any other animals.
About: I've always had a love for dogs and have cared for my own dogs since I was 12. My friends and family have asked me to walk, play with, feed, or bathe their pets and I am always happy to help! During the week, I work from home three days out of the five and those days I am responsible for my pets at home and love being able to be home with them. At home I have a fenced in yard that is perfect for play dates. My two dogs are very friendly with other dogs and they are crate trained so they can be easily put away. I do not plan on bringing my dogs for the services that I provide because they have anxiety.
“Grace did a wonderful job caring for my two kitties while I was away - she kept me updated about my older cat's intermittent appetite and always send cute pictures. My shy older cat trusted her right away.”
“Great communication, friendly and professional! Has experience with pitties, which is was a determining factor in our booking. Karen was very understanding and supportive of Diesel's needs.”
About: From owning fish to hamsters to a puppy, animals have always been my support system. I have watched both dogs and cats, and before moving out of my home to pursue my career, lived with my family dog of 8 years. In my free time, I volunteer at foster shelters (like PAWS and NAWS), to help raise awareness of the importance of rescuing and adopting pets. My goal as a care taker is to make your pet feel as comfortable, safe and loved as possible so that when you get back, they don't even realize you were gone! Chat with me to see if I'm the right fit for you! I currently work M-Th full time and virtually on Fridays. My weekends are free. I’m available from Friday-Sunday for overnight and day time sitting. During the week (Monday-Thursday) I am free after 2pm to pet sit as well. I live in a spacious apartment complex that is pet friendly. Most of my neighbors have dogs, and cats amongst other pets too. While I may not have a yard my apartment complex has a dog park and walking trails, which makes for a great play/active area. I have no qualms or restrictions either with pets in my apartment and have no pets myself. My house is their house.
“First time using Rover so we didn’t know what to expect. Julia and Eric set the bar high! Loved the videos they sent with every visit, made sure our kitties got attention and ate their food. 10/10 would recommend and we will be using them in the future again!”
“NaBeela took care of my 2 senior cats in my home while I was out of the country. She was kind, an awesome communicator, and easy to work with. Thank you for taking such great care of things and giving me peace of mind while I was away!”
“Gaby was great, as always!”
“Carly was the best! Extremely patient w my rambunctious pups and overall amazing communication! My pups loved her and can’t wait to see her again!”
“Yani is a very reliable walker who had to fill in for us last minute! She gave a very detailed report card. We are looking forward to having her as our regular walker now!”
“Christina is very reliable, friendly, and easy to work with. Our fur baby is completely confortable with her. She took pics and followed all instructions. I highly recommend her.”
About: I have two dogs. One is a male labrador retriever, the other is a female labradoodle. I groom and bathe both dogs, I can cut/groom a poodle. I’ve got experience with german shepherds, belgian shepherds, and small dogs. I also have experience with rabbits considering I’ve own 5 bunnies before since 4th grade. I can do smaller animals as well like guinea pigs for example. So if there’s pet care needed for that, I’m all for it. I have experience with cats, I’m able to feed, brush/groom them if and when specific instructions are given knowing families have a different routine. I have experience with K9 or Ex K9 dogs, if a K9 specializes in defensive activities (biting) I suggest more info, and would prefer a proper, safe introduction with the dog and the owner so that the dog can get familiar with me and my presence. I can do early mornings and late evenings. On some days I’ll be able to do all day, depending on what’s available for me. My family mostly needs me at home to take care of my siblings while my parents go to work. So there’s days where I’ll only be able to do either 5-6AM or earlier, then sometime after 5PM as well. I have a fenced yard, if needed I’m open to taking in a dog for the day. I’m able to just simply walk in to a client’s house, do what’s asked for and simply walk out. I can bathe/groom a client’s dog if asked for, but I highly ask if the client can leave the dog at my home so that I have my proper tools to do so. I do ask for an extra $20 charge if a grooming and bathing is asked for. The charge isn’t based on breed, or type of hair, it’s more based on service.

“Emerald loves pets and is very responsible. She strives for excellence in everything she does and is very good at following directions. She is very trustworthy and dependable. When it comes to walking dogs, I know she walks faster than people normally do and that may be very good for walking medium sized puppers. I hope you get to know her and let her take care of your furry member of the family.”
