About: I am very good with reactive dogs, having had one myself. I have tried to become as knowledgeable as I can in all things dog, but am always willing to learn new things to better suit yours pups needs! I am working towards becoming an Animal Behaviorist! Dogs are my whole life and my goal is to give them the love and appreciation that they deserve, and meeting all their needs so they aren’t as stressed when their parents have to go somewhere! I work at a dog groomer, as well as a store in a neighboring town. My hours would be no later or earlier than 8:45am - 4pm. I do my absolute best to work with all schedules to best suit pet parent’s needs and am always up for a meet and greet to discuss needs! In my own home I have 2 dogs and a large fenced in yard. In your home, I will follow whatever rules you leave me, as well as any and all care instructions!

Isabelle was fantastic! Took the job last second when original plans fell through and left me in a bind while being out of town. Isabelle provided photos and status updates for each walk. Being a 1st time Rover user, I was nervous, but Isabelle made me feel like my dog was completely taken care of and helped ease my mind. Would 100% recommend her and I will rebook with her in the future when needed. THANK YOU AND GREAT JOB ISABELLE!

About: Hi, I’m Chloe! I’ve had dogs my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for them. I worked at our local dog shelter for over four years, where I cared for up to 52 dogs a day as part of a team, including administering medications. I’m comfortable with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and needs. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or special care, I’ll treat your pup like my own! I do have two children who may occasionally accompany me when checking on dogs. Looking forward to meeting your furry friend! I’m a homeschool mom who runs her own photography business so I’m available most of the time to be able to check in and care for furry friends. My pets in my own home are very spoiled! We treat them like family. I would treat any pets I’m caring for the same. I love all pets!

About: Hi! I’m Lauren, and I’ve been around animals my entire life. I grew up with dogs and spent years helping take care of them—feeding, walking, playing, and, of course, giving lots of love. In high school and after, I worked as a dog sitter for families in my neighborhood, building experience with a variety of breeds and personalities. These days, I’m a proud cat mom to two sweet kitties, so I’m very familiar with both dog and cat care. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or more shy and relaxed, I always adapt to their needs and treat them like my own. I know how important it is to feel confident in the person caring for your pets. You can count on me to be dependable, communicative, and gentle with your furry family members. I’m excited to meet your pets and give them the same love and attention they get from you! I have availability all throughout the week including weekends! I’m usually available from early in the morning starting around 6:30 AM to the evening as late as 8-9 PM. I can take on walks, feed, water, etc on whatever schedule is best for you and your fur baby. I always want to make sure the cat/ and or dog feels as comfortable as possible when you are away.

About: I have 15 years of pet care experience. Growing up my grandmother always needed help with her cat and dog, whether it was feeding them or walking Spuds! I have experience in bathing both cats and dogs and I personally give my cats a quarterly wash-down. I am comfortable with administering topical ointments or giving shots if needed. I assisted many times with my local TNR program and have great experience with cats specifically. I am currently a part-time student and working an internship that is based on the EST time zone. So I am up early and ready to go at all hours. I am work from home and my classes are also online so I have a pretty flexible schedule. I will always animal proof homes regardless if it’s mine or not. Pets having access to fresh water is always a must. Caring for pets is a case by case as all of them have their own personalities! If they need quiet, that’s cool or if they’re more rowdy I can get down with that too!

About: I had dogs growing up as a child and have taken care of them on and off throughout my whole life, but some specific examples of pet care include: taking care of my Grandparents 2 dogs when they no longer could, taking care of my best friends dogs (and many cats) when she goes on vacation, & of course taking care of my 2 cats that I am currently a mom of (I have had cats throughout my whole adult life). I understand the importance of allowing animals to get comfortable with you and come to you on their own terms and not trying to force them to let you pet them or play with them. I am comfortable taking the time to slowly encourage an animal to be comfortable in my presence. I am currently working part-time while I finish my degree, so I am available fairly often to help take care of your beloved animals. I am extremely reliable and I am often available for last minute situations and happy to help. I have experience and am comfortable with dog walking, picking up waste, and crating dogs when needed. I am willing to assist with cleaning litter boxes as needed and am willing to take time to play with and give your animals attention and love while you are away from the home.

I do work a full time job but I will always make time for your babies. I can take them for a walk and feed them in the morning and night, depending on the shift I work or if I’m off, I can let them out mid day as well. I have 2 spoiled cats, and they are super friendly with everyone. I have watched many animals (even goats!) for friends, family, and coworkers, which includes me walking, feeding, bathing, and letting them out. I will treat your fur baby as if they were mine!
