About: Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. I have been around dogs my entire life and taken care of countless dogs for friends and neighbors over the years. Taking care of animals brings me so much joy. Theres really nothing like the love of a pet. I am meticulously clean, I am very detail oriented and treat the dogs I care for as if they were my own. I have a few clients I house sit for and will consider on a case-by-case basis if I feel I am the right fit for you and your pet. Thank you! I have a flexible schedule, especially during weekday hours. I am usually available from 9-3 with some weekend availability if needed. Please message for more details. I am only available for in home pet sitting on a case by case basis. I had a long career working with children who have developmental disabilities so I am extremely caring, dedicated, reliable and attention focused.

“Helene has been walking my dog since April, and let me tell you she is amazing! Rain or shine, she shows up with a smile on her face, ready for my Lunas unpredictable behavior ;). Luna lights up when she sees her, and honestly, I think she likes Helene more than me now. Zero complaints, just a happy dog and a very grateful dog mom. Highly recommend!”



“Eilleen is AMAZING!!! Benji is our little rescue cutie! But he has days where he is a bit unpredictable- He is a cuddle bug on his own terms, can be moody and antisocial. As his "fun" aunt (I'm treat and playtime central haha) you would think he would jump for joy at the chance to take a walk with me but, that isn't the case :( He is very particular about who walks him and only let's his dad walk him. So on days dad is working overtime, I stress about how I will convince Benji to go outside. One Sunday he refused to go out they entire day, not one budge and just hid under the table. Dad was working and I was stressing! Well, Eilleen to the rescue! Upon arrival Benji greeted her at the door, like they were forever friends, hopping, tail wagging and cuddles! In amazement I watch Eilleen put kn his leash with out any hesitation from Benji and in a matter of minutes they were off on their walk together! I am so amazed by the instant connection they have and Eilleens impressive job of caring for him. We are so very thankful!! Thank you Eilleen!!!!!!! You are truly the BEST!!”


“Fionnuala is wonderful! If I could give her 10 stars, I would. She walked Bailey exactly as requested and a neighbor even commented to me what a great job she did I. Following my instructions when approaching another dog! I would hire her again in a heartbeat!”


“Melissa was great with my dog, Blaze! She not only provided Blaze with much needed exercise on her daily walks, but she almost always stuck around to give a little tender love and care to our pooch. She also brought in our mail, which was an unexpected perk. I highly recommend Melissa. She is a reliable and loving caretaker of dogs.”

About: I have the ability to reinforce basic commands like sit, stay, and recall during walks or sitting sessions. I have the ability to channel their boundless energy in a productive way, whether through play or structured exercise. I have a 11 year old pit bull which gives me experience with caring for a senior dog but understanding the slower pace, possible joint pain, or health issues that may require extra care. Being observant of subtle signs of discomfort, such as limping & notifying the owner if needed. Knowledge of how to administration oral medications & liquids. I am currently an entrepreneur which gives me more free time to provide the necessary care for your pet care. With such a flexible schedule I’m able to be available any day & anytime My two dogs are fenced it at home where they have a nice big yard to exercise & run around. I also take them on frequent walks especially the senior dog to be able to be more mobile on his legs.

It has been sad not seeing his happy face when I come home or unusual to not have to take him out for his nighttime walk. We miss him so much! I would love to be able to share my love that I had for him with the caring of another dog.

“Danielle was booked to walk my pups twice a day while we were on vacation. She went above and beyond to take good care of my pups and they seemed so happy! She has quickly become my favorite dog walker :)”


About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets. My family always had dogs growing up. My first dog, Spooner, was with me since infancy. I helped train and raise my second dog, Merlin, from a puppy. I have experience with dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to senior dogs needing special care. I am also skilled in training basic commands and ensuring pets feel loved and comfortable while their owners are away. As an adolescent, I would take care of my neighbor's cats when they went away. I got my cat, Stevie, 3 years ago. I’m excellent at taking care of cats and ensuring they are well-fed, comfortable, and have clean litter boxes. My experience includes administering medications and providing a calm, loving environment for cats of all ages. I look forward to the day I can get a dog, but until then, I will enjoy caring for others' dogs and cats. As a teacher, I have the summer off, so I’ll have plenty of time to take good care of your pups! My flexible schedule allows me to provide dedicated and attentive care throughout the day. I have a cozy, safe home for you dogs to stay at overnight or for an extended periods of time. I'm also happy to provide drop-in visits or to stay in your home. I'm a skilled communicator and will always be courteous and respectful of your residence.

About: I am a Mother, teacher, and pet owner-in other words I care 😀 I am patient, caring and easy going. I would love to help. I am a teacher, so I have flexibility in the summer time. When you cannot be there, I can, and would love to help out. I have a fully fenced in yard at my house, and a friendly Beagle/Bulldog at home. In traveling to your house, I will makd.sure your pet is comfortable.

This is my first time using Rover. I felt confident having Danielle walk my dog. She kept us updated and tracked her time with Oreo, showed the distance, and updated me on her potty status! She was mindful to keep my dog from overheating even though the weather was hot.
