About: Hello, I’m Emelin and I’m a very energetic, attentive, and always up for an adventure. Pets are an adventure, you don’t quite always know what to expect for them but whatever comes in the way you must be able to care for them. Similar experience I’ve had was working at a daycare and essentially pets are like your children. They need a lot of care, attention, and entertainment in order to be satisfied which is no problem. When in need I will be readily available to assist you and your pets needs majority of the times. I offer a variety of services in the most efficient and best manner to meet all your needs. I can also be very flexible in order to meet your needs!! I am mostly just studying, I am pretty flexible so I can easily work out a schedule that best fits yours and the pets needs. I have a cat of my own who is very active and requires a lot of attention and have also pet sitted for friend while they have gone away. I am pretty well rounded in the pets needs.

Vic has been an amazing dog walker this last week. Our puppy Bruce comes back happy and sleepy after his hour long walks with Vic each day. He’s very professional, easy to communicate with, takes great pics and gives a report back each day. Highly recommend him for your pups dog walking or care taking needs!

Angela is such a kind human being and you can tell how much she loves animals. It can be an uneasy thing letting someone else care for your pet, but with Angela we don't even think twice about it. She walked our dog once a day while we were at work and despite him being a bit of a hyper puppy she handled him with grace. She's super professional and keeps you posted on everything. Love Angela!

Susana was great. Showed up to my house, walked Gopher, left a Rover report card with photos and details about whether Gopher pee'd or pooped on the walk. I got to go out for the night without worrying, and I returned home and Gophie was asleep in her bed, happy as can be. : ) I would recommend Susana to anyone looking for a dog walker in the area. In fact, after getting her updates while I was out, I recommended her to two people I was hanging out with. Thanks, Susana!

Laura is quite possibly the greatest caretaker I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting! She goes above and beyond what was asked for, playing with my dog and waiting for him to eat, even for a simple 15 minute walk. She gives detailed updates on what he did outside and sends a bunch of photos. You will be incredibly comfortable with her taking care of your pup!

About: I've had experience with both dogs and cats, so I'd love to take care of both! I have experience with small dogs to medium and large dogs, as well as senior dogs with special needs - so I am well adapted to dogs of all different temperaments! I am no stranger to anxious and attachment sensitive dogs as well, so I am patient and understanding for your furry friends. I've also had cats since 2017, Uno, Adelle and the youngest, Zoey. Uno is an affectionate but cranky cat, Adelle is very anxious but super sweet, and Zoey loves to play and is essentially a kitty forever, so I have experience taking care of different cat temperaments and health issues (I have experience administering medicine and checking dental health). I am a recent college graduate and I have a lot of free time on my hands, so I have a window everyday to walk/check in/hang out with your cat and/or dog, from morning to night. I have experience getting cats to go into crates, and I can easily crate your dog if necessary. I am always sure to keep their body language (and vocal language) in mind to be sure they are safe and sound, and getting everything they need.

About: Hi, we are Taylor and Ashleigh. We are newer to Rover but have been caring for dogs for over 20 years and have had dogs of our own since we were kids. We've raised dogs from playful puppies to their senior years, so we're completely comfortable caring for both energetic youngsters and sweet senior dogs alike. We are also fully comfortable providing any care your dog may need, including administering oral medications or injections, if required. We have cared for dogs with seizure disorders, cancer, aggression, anxiety, sweet babies that require extra attention, dogs not potty trained, dogs in heat, small dogs to very large dogs, and many more. For us, taking care of dogs and cats is our passion rooted in unconditional love. We firmly believe that our fur babies are not just pets; they are our family, and we treat every single fur baby with the exact same devotion, warmth, and pampering we would give our own. Whether your pet needs extra cuddles, a structured schedule, or gentle handling, you can trust they'll be in caring, experienced hands. You can travel with absolute peace of mind, knowing your baby is receiving the absolute best care and being loved like family. We both currently work from home so we have plenty of time to take long walks, go to the dog park, play in the backyard, or just cuddle on the couch. We are able to accommodate any specific needs or request you may have to better care for your fur baby. We are available for overnight boarding, doggy day care, walks and drop-in visits. We can’t wait to meet and care for your fur baby! We primarily work from home, so we are typically gone for no more than a couple hours a day. We have plenty of time for special attention, walks, and play time. Our dogs have always been family, so we will treat yours exactly the same way. We have a small fenced in backyard, but primarily try to take them out for at least a brief walk/bathroom break every couple of hours. We can do as many potty breaks as needed. Dogs are welcome on all furniture and are welcome to sleep in the bed at night. If your pet likes to get into things please just let us know and we will make sure there is nothing they can get into. We also have gates we can use if needed. We want you pet to have a safe and fun visit while in our care. We will do whatever we need to to make sure your pet has the best experience.

About: With over 10 years of experience caring for pets of all kinds—dogs, fish, birds, and more—I’m a true animal lover. I treat every pet as if they were my own, giving them the love and attention they deserve. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine, and I make sure to plan my schedule around the pets I’m caring for. I have a flexible routine that allows me to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day, whether that’s morning visits, midday check-ins, or evening care. I understand that every pet has its own unique needs and sensitivities. I prioritize these to ensure comfort and peace of mind for both the pets and their owners.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every size and kind for family friends and neighbors. They have relied on me to bathe, feed, walk, and care for their pets. I am currently working part time and I am available a few days out the week so it varies every week depending when I am needed. I have a 3 year old cockapoo and all she loves to do is play. She’s friendly and introductions matter to dogs so being attentive to the client’s pets reaction to my dog matters most to me.

About: My love for animals comes from my own experience as a dog mom to Blondie, who has been one of the most important parts of my life. Caring for her has taught me that pets are not just animals they are family members who deserve patience, affection, and dedicated care. Over the past 5 years, caring for Blondie has taught me the importance of responsibility, consistency, and understanding a dog’s unique needs. I understand how difficult it can be to leave your pet with someone else, which is why I would make it my priority to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, belly rubs, sticking to their routine, or simply keeping them company, I will treat your pet as if they were my own. My goal is for you to have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in loving and responsible hands. Caring for your pet isn’t just something I do it’s something I genuinely love. With a flexible schedule, I’m always available when your pet needs me most. I take the time to learn their routine and exactly what makes them feel safe and happy. Because when you’re away, your pet deserves more than just someone to check in they deserve someone who truly cares. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to know your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I always follow each owner’s instructions and make a pet’s well-being my top priority. I have a secure balcony where my dog Blondie loves to spend time every day watching people walk by and observing the world around her. It’s one of her favorite activities, and I enjoy giving her that time to relax and stay engaged with her surroundings. I believe every pet deserves patience, attention, and a loving environment where they feel safe and at home.
