About: I have my own dog that I have taken care of for the past 7 years. I also volunteer at local shelters to help dogs that have been at the shelter for too long. I walk them and play with them ensuring they are safe and have a good time before they have to go back. I am currently a college student working part time so I have plenty of time on certain days to make sure your pups are having a good time. Everyday but Monday and Tuesday work for me. I make sure when on walks to always keep the dog is safe. I always stay off my phone to ensure that the dog is always watched by me. I am a bigger person so I can easily prevent accidents like if a dog were to try to attack a mail man.

“Brian took such good care of Simon, it’s abundantly clear that he’s passionate about animals and providing them the best care. He was so communicative and it was one of the very few times where I’ve felt such peace of mind that Simon was in good hands. :) will definitely rebook in the future!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 7 years old. I’ve raised many puppies and taken care of them into their senior days. I’ve provided pure love, safety, care, and tons of cuddles with many many many doggies. My own throughout my entire life, and for many friends, neighbors, family, and clients. My schedule is pretty open and flexible right now. So I’d have all the time to give your pups all my time and attention. Availability 7 days a week. I have a fenced yard. A safety gate blocking the stairs to the basement so no little doggies that might have trouble slipping on stairs can get to them or the basement. A dogs safety is always my utmost priority.

“Excellent communication, timeliness, and professional!”

About: I've had dogs most of my adult life. My first dog was a neighbors dog, she couldn't care for the dog any longer and I agreed to take the dog in my home. I have fed and cared for bird, cats and dogs when family and friend were on vacation. I work two days out of the month, therefore, I have more than enough time to play, walk and cuddle with pets in my care. I have a fenced in yard where dogs can go out and play. I am not strict with pets unless there is a certain rule the owner wants me to apply to there pet.

“Elizabeth was great and kept me up to date on her walk with our puppy!”

About: Hi Pet Parents! My husband’s “cat and certain dogs” allergy has evolved into a full blown, dangerous asthma situation with all fur babies. (Yes, he’s tried the inhalers, etc). It has become painfully clear, having pets with dander in our home is impossible. I DO love my husband, but I miss having fur babies around! As someone who has so much LOVE for and experience with animals, I have always helped others with their pets. It was a JOY to me even when I had pets of my own! I have found myself offering to walk friends’ dogs because I miss my own. It suddenly hit me I should sign up with Rover, so I can spend some time with pets looking for attention while their people are out. I have always had four-legged fur pets, but also fish, frogs and lizards and more. I have saved baby birds, random stray, sick and/or injured animals and have domesticated several feral cats. My interest in and care for all animals is constant. I am a Registered Nurse for humans, so I have extra knowledge, comfort and comprehension regarding medications. Between being an RN and a MOM, I’ve got the bases covered on attention to details, noticing subtle changes in pet’s behaviors and the art of double/triple checking things. While my motivation to sign up with Rover was my love for animals and a sincere selfish need to love some dogs and cats, my resume has me very prepared to manage my business and communications professionally. I have also hired sitters for my own pets during travel or long work days and know the awkward discomfort about having someone in my home and/or taking my pet somewhere. “Will they be as careful as I am so my cat doesn’t escape when they open the door?” Or “will they pay attention on the walk with other pets or kids are around? What if my dog gets away because they’re not being careful?” Or, as a former owner of a dog with a sensitive tummy, “do they get it that she CAN’T EAT ANYTHING on their walk - will they pay close enough attention?” Pet care can be a worry to distraction, when you could feel so at ease you actually forget someone else is coming in! When time allows, please tell me your typical routine and commands used, if your dog has allergies, takes medications, an injury, personality triggers. We will talk about whatever is specific to your fur family member, so I can provide the very best experience possible for both of you. In the case of an emergency or special circumstance when the luxury of time is not there to discuss details, you need a sitter who feels comfortable stepping in with your pet and caring for them with love, respect and confidence in your absence. I am your person! Whether your fur family members are dogs or cats, I will love them as my own. I look forward to meeting you and taking care of your pets! *Please Note* my children are 7 and 9 years old. They LOVE animals. Your pets will be loved and very well socialized by them, which is a bonus for most. That said, many pups are not at all interested in kids or the noise that they bring. If your pup just does not enjoy kids, this Doggy Day Care location would not be a comfortable fit for them. If your young puppy needs the socialization, we’ve got you covered! Due to my husband’s allergies, we cannot book overnights.

“I highly recommend Odalys! She has been absolutely amazing with my dog, and he loves spending time with her. From the very first walk, I could tell she has a real passion for animals and goes above and beyond to make sure he’s well taken care of. She's always on time, reliable, and keeps me updated with cute photos and notes. My dog gets so excited when he sees her, and I know he’s in great hands. Couldn’t ask for a better dog walker!”

About: I have been surrounded by dogs my entire life, and I have made truly unbreakable bonds with them. I'm a natural caretaker and have been walking neighbors' dogs since I was 12. As a recent high school grad, I have begun dog sitting both at my home and at clients' homes. I have worked with dogs of all ages and have loved every second of it! I'm currently working side jobs such as babysitting, part-time nannying, and dog sitting. I can be fairly flexible when it comes to my weekly schedule. I live with two pups and two cats in a very walkable neighborhood. I am incredibly safety-oriented and would be more than willing to make accommodations for any pet's needs.

About: I treat every pet like my own family member—with endless patience, genuine affection, and attention to the little details that matter most. Happy tails guaranteed! Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine—I work part-time and attend school, but I’m home most of the day with plenty of free time to give your pet the attention they deserve. Your pet will enjoy a clean, secure, and pet-friendly space. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play, all hazardous items are stored away, and doors/gates are always double-checked. I never leave pets unattended outside, and I’m home most of the day for constant supervision.

“Rachael is great! She came by to meet our puppy, and was timely and prompt to the schedule. She took our dog to a local park for a nice long walk, which we appreciate!”

About: I have had a love for animals since I was a young child. At the age of 8, against my parents wishes I snuck in an abandoned cat and it ended up being where my love for animals began. We have had many types of pets since then. Currently we have a 3 year-old German Shepherd whom we rescued from a shelter at 4 months of age. We also have a 1 year old Australian Cattle dog who is super energetic. I love spending time with animals, dogs in particular, because they are so playful, happy and full of unconditional love. I am responsible, caring and will take great care of you pet because I know that they are not only “pets” but are also members of your family. I will care for your pet like I would care for my own pets. I work full-time as a nurse practitioner but just started working some days from home. I figured, why not do something I love while also getting exercise at the same time. Note: the only breed of dog that I will not board in my home are pitbulls. My daughter had a traumatic experience with a pitbull so she is very triggered by that breed. I will gladly watch pitbulls in your home and care for them outside of my home. I think they do get a bad reputation for being an aggressive breed but due to our experience, we unfortunately don’t feel comfortable having them around our children. I am able to mainly available for pet care on the weekends. I am able to accomplish most evening/late evening or very early morning walks. Every other Tuesday I work from home so am able to break up my schedule this day. I care for my dogs in my backyard, which is fenced in. She is able to run around freely because we do have a large yard which allows her to burn off her energy. We also play fetch and she is able to spend a lot of her time running around there. We also go for walks around the neighborhood.

“Fanni is wonderful and I felt at ease when Chomper was in her care. She is communicative, responsible, and even braved walking up 13 flights of stairs when the elevator in my building was out. I am so appreciative of her time and would highly recommend her for any pet care needs!”

About: Hello, my name is Hannah. I am a part time art instructor and online Art Therapy student. I prioritize attentiveness and timeliness in my teaching as well as dog walking and sitting. I love all animals, have dog walked locally on and off since I was in middle school, and have had a dog of my own for 10 years. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, and guinea pigs. I am an active person and look forward to taking your pet on frequent walks, or even runs! I’m currently working part-time and attending online school, so I have a lot of availability for overnight dog sitting, as well as many walks and drop-ins throughout the day. Besides a few mid-day classes and teaching the occasional night class, my schedule allows me to be very flexible. I treat all pets the way I would want my own dog, Sailor, to be treated. Your pets safety and happiness are my top priorities! I aim to create a stress free experience for you, and a fun experience for your pet.

About: I am a very active person. I love any excuse to run or walk outside, having an animal with me is a huge bonus. My roommate is allergic to dogs, so for now this will be the way to fill the void of not having a pet of my own. Therefore, I promise I will love your pet as if they were mine. Among some turtles and a frog or two, I grew up with three golden retrievers, and I was always the go-to person to watch any of my friend's/coworker's dogs and cats if they were away, ranging from just a couple days to two to three weeks at a time. I am very hardworking, trustworthy, kind, and I absolutely love any and all animals. I went from working in an office to now being remote, so I feel like I have ample time everyday and am always looking for a reason to get outside. My apartment building has a space outside for dogs to mingle and play. Otherwise, there is a park close by me that we can walk to.
