About: I used to be a Rover sitter while I was in Nursing school several years ago. I've taken a break while working and having kids but I'm excited to help out again! I currently have two kids (4 and 6) that would come along with me to drop in visits or walks. They are very comfortable with animals and know how to be calm and gentle too. We love helping get energy out, playing, going on long walks and giving lots of pets and love. I'm a homeschool mom so we are usually home 5 days a week and I'm usually working as a nurse 1 day on the weekend. My kids and I always take our own dogs on walks, so we would love to take a long walk with your dogs, play with them and give them lots of pets!
About: I grew up in an animal-friendly household among big dogs, small dogs, cats, hamsters, fish, lizards, ferrets, you name it! I have experience with animals of all ages, abilities, and temperaments and strive to do what I can to keep them happy and comfortable! I am a full time college student pursuing music, so I will have the occasional concert that makes me unavailable, but I often have the weekend free or evenings/nights/early mornings. I definitely strive to leave everything in a client’s home just as I left it, besides a happy and/or well-fed dog, cat, or other furry or scaly creature. As long as I know where to locate the food, bowls, leash/harness, and/or backyard I’m good!
“Amy was great with my dog Bucky, we just met her today and she was very sweet to him..he is a bit of a puller but she handled him well and he came back tired and happy. She took lots of pictures and even brought water for him. Will definitely book more walks with her.!”

About: Hi, I’m Aden! I’ve been around animals my whole life and grew up caring for two dogs, two cats, and several fish tanks, so I’m experienced with many different needs and personalities. I love going on walks, spending time outdoors, so making sure pets get the exercise, attention, and love they deserve won’t be a problem at all. Animals tend to warm up to me quickly, and I always treat them like family, so you can have peace of mind while you are away My schedule is somewhat set in stone, I work weekdays from 6:00am–4:15pm and some Saturdays from 6:00am–4:15pm, which means I’m available most afternoons, evenings, and weekends to care for your pets. I’m committed to making sure they get the attention, walks, and playtime they need outside of my work hours. When I’m caring for pets in your home, I make their safety and routine my top priorities. I carefully follow feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any specific instructions you provide to keep things consistent and stress-free. I always keep an eye on doors, leashes, and environments to ensure your pets stay safe, whether we’re indoors or out on a walk. I’m also comfortable providing extra care if needed, such as administering medications or handling special routines. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pets are well cared for while you’re away.
About: Your dog will get the attention and love you provide even while you are away with lots of cuddles, potty breaks, walks and playtime. Our family dogs are members of our family and while yours is here- they will be too! Feel confident your pup is being cared for, played with, and loved on while you are away. I currently have one resident cat (figaro) and 2 small dogs (Ozzie and Hopper both Boston Terriers). Both are friendly towards both cats and dogs and love to play. Also have 2 older teenagers in the home that will play and give visiting puppies and dogs extra attention and affection. I would love to care for your fur baby and look forward to hosting in our home. I work from home so can be available for as many potty breaks as needed. I can provide any schedule that your dog is used to already. I have two friendly dogs to keep your up company. Dogs can be crated at night or sleep with us in our bed whatever you prefer.
“Rylee was AMAZING. She took such good care of my baby while I was out of town even going so far as to carry my 70 lb baby back to my house during a heat wave when my dog had decided she was done. She was incredibly communicative the whole time and was so sweet to my baby.”

About: I love animals and will treat your fur babies as if they were my own. I will communicate consistently and send photo updates on visits. I do work full time, my current shift schedule is 9-5 Monday through Friday. Weekends are always free unless I have military obligations, my schedule will reflect accordingly if so. I have two cats who roam around the house as they please. Security is important to me and I always double check doors and ensure nothing is out that may pose a threat to anyone in the house.
“Deshawn did a great job walking our pups for us over a multiple day period. He is very nice and enjoyable to chat with, but perhaps most importantly, the dogs love him and got very excited when he showed up to walk them. Thanks again Deshawn!”
“We have been using Isaac recently to walk our two lab puppies a bit here and there to get them more socialized and used to walking on a leash. I was a bit hesitant at first handing over my babies to someone we didn't know, especially because they can be a handful at times, but Isaac has really put me at ease. He is so patient with them and shows a caring attitude. One of our babies can be a bit rambunctious sometimes and Isaac has shown his willingness to work with her when needed. And again, his patience! He takes time to try and reinforce commands while on the walks, makes me feel comfortable handing over my babies to him. He's always professional and polite, on time, with a good attitude. I recommend Isaac to anyone needing someone to assist with their fur babies. He gives me pointers when needed or asked, and seems to treat the girls like family when he's with them.”

About: I’ve grown up in a home full of dogs and have been caring for them for as long as I can remember. Today, I have a sweet female Goldendoodle of my own named Murray, who’s a big part of my life. I also have experience with cat sitting for family and friends. I’m that girl who stops to help a lost pup or cat and won’t rest until I’ve reunited them with their owner.

I also make sure to give them plenty of affection and companionship so they feel secure while you’re away.
