Dog Sitting Walker

“Megan kindly stepped in at the last minute when we needed a cat caretaker and were already out of town for Christmas. Megan was flexible over the holiday and took excellent care of our small orange gremlin.”

About: I work in pet care currently as a supervisor, mostly with dogs and cats but I also interact with small rodents occasionally. In my work, I follow feeding schedules, make sure pets have access to water at all times, administer medications, track potty times, monitor the health of pets, read body language cues to safely engage with pets, and more. In and outside of work, I’ve taken care of pets of all ages (puppy/kitten to senior), pets who are hearing or vision impaired, have special diets, have skin conditions, and pets with varying behaviors and personalities. I’m very comfortable with every size and breed of dog. Currently I have two cats of my own & I live with my roommate’s dog and cat as well. My roommate is out of town often for work so I care for all four of our pets. I love getting to know the individual personalities of pets and tailoring my time with them to match that. I truly believe pets are family and I treat all of them with all my love and respect, every time. Currently I can offer drop in visits and walks - and I am a winter girl through and through so with the cold weather approaching, walks won’t be an issue! I’m happy to provide photo updates as requested and provide you with timestamps of when they go #1 or #2. During walks, I can also provide some light leash training if requested. I work full time, so I will be scheduling around that. My schedule is relatively set every week, except times that others take vacations. I’m generally working closing shifts so I’m free during mornings/early afternoons and late evenings if needed. I won’t be caring for pets in my own home at this time, so I will follow any instructions you have in your house. I keep an eye on dogs at all times when they’re outside, even in fenced in yards or on leads. For walks outside, I’ll use whatever leash/harness/collar you prefer and I sometimes also double leash for extra precaution.

About: I've cared for dogs and cats of all kinds, and have owned my own large breed for 8 years. I love spending my free time with animals! I am in school right now, and perform music on the weekends. It's difficult to fit a traditional 9-5 in my schedule, so I love that I'm able to make ends meet while doing what I love, spending time with animals❤️ I am strong, and accustomed to walking big dogs. I'm familiar with keeping a calm composure, and understand that all animals need time to earn trust. Everyone's fur baby is safe with me, and will be treated as my own!💛

“Lindsay was so great with our Bodhi! We were in a pinch to find a dog sitter and she was able to help with everything we needed. Certainly would boom again!”

About: I've taken care of neighbors' and family members' dogs since I was young. I've studied some animal care in college. Growing up I had to care for my dog's puppies as well as a diabetic dog giving me experience with dogs of all ages and needs I currently work from home, with the ability to set up anywhere, including your home. I am typically a homebody who is fine staying at the house with your fur babies for the majority of the day. - Walks 2 times per day for house-sitting - Additional walks can be requested for a fee - Feeding and making sure the dog has fresh water on their standard feeding schedule. - Grooming can be provided for a fee - Medication administration as needed

About: Every dog is has their own personality. It’s more than dog sitting, it’s building a connection. In the past, I’ve taken care of multiple dogs at one time, each one with different needs. Whether it was making sure they took their medication or sitting with them while they ate. Catering to each dog and what they need is something very important to me. I’m currently home from college and don’t have any regular commitments. My plans vary depending on the week but as your dog sitter your dogs will be my priority. I know how important a routine and schedule can be for a dog, taking them out to potty every certain number of hours or feeding them at specific times.

“We felt very comfortable with Joshua and his first visit with Bunker. He went above and beyond for a drop-in visit and made Bunker's day fun! Have already rebooked!”

About: I’m a dog lover and owner who has had/cared for dogs my whole life. I have a bernedoodle who’s an abundance of love and energy. My favorite thing in the world is to spend time with my pup. I’ve cared for dogs ranging in size and personality. I grew up with a St. Bernard, so I’m very comfortable with even the biggest dogs. I like to be active with dogs who have a lot of energy, but I’m also just as comfortable watching dogs of varying energy levels. I’m experienced with administering medications and catering to any special needs. I’m really here because I love dogs, and I’d like to support anyone who needs help during this difficult time. I am very health-conscious and practice social distancing strictly. I would be happy to sanitize any surface I come into contact with during my visit. My schedule is very flexible, so I can take care of your pup(s) whenever works best for you and for them! I’m an early bird, so I’ll happily take early morning jobs :) I’m very adaptable and can care for your pup however they need to be cared for. I’m down for long walks, play time, snuggles, etc.

About: I grew up with a chocolate lap and a cat. Taught my dog many tricks and the cat not so much haha. I currently have two cats of my own. I worked as a nurse tech for 5 yrs in the hospital setting and went to emt school as well. Currently in college for radiology tech school and just looking for a job I can do in my free time. I’m able to drop in multiple times a day. I’m very flexible and am up early in the morning and tend to stay up somewhat late. I have a fenced in yard that my upstairs neighbor would use for their dog. I keep an eye on my cats with a camera.

About: I grew up with many cats, and have pet sit since I was a little girl! I can do pretty much anything, walk, play, feed and bathe. Or just be there new bestie🫶🏻 My schedule is really open right now! I’m doing this full time at the moment while I’m in town visiting family for awhile. Available at pretty much anytime! Whether your pet stays with me in my home or I visit them in yours, my goal is always the same: to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. In my home, they become part of the family — plenty of playtime, cozy nap spots, and all the attention they can handle. I don’t have pets of my own anymore, so if you could pack them a little stay the night bag with there toys and bed that would be awesome!! When I care for them in your home, I follow your routine to the letter, so they barely notice you're gone. Feeding, walks, play, medication, cuddles — whatever they need, I handle it with patience and care, and I'll keep you updated every step of the way so you can relax knowing they're in good hands.

“Kenadee is great with our new pup Pearl, definitely will use her again and recommend her services!”

About: I have experienced watching animals as a pet care provider for years. My mom had started ALA about 5-6 years ago and ever since I've learned so much about dogs and cats. I work but at night, I usually am 3rd shift but get home and can stay home for the majority of the day apart from school from 12-2pm. I am pretty flexible too. At home we are fenced in and I've had years of shadowing my mom who used to work in a veterinary hospital. She has shown me how to safely care for animals and even certain medications. I have loved working with them.

About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve always had a natural connection with dogs and cats, and I genuinely believe they are incredibly intelligent, emotional, and individual creatures with their own personalities. Over the years, I’ve cared for many of my coworkers’, neighbors, friends, and my families pets, including dogs and cats that were described as shy, nervous, or not particularly friendly with new people. I’ve always been surprised by how quickly they tend to warm up to me. I’m patient with animals and pay close attention to their body language, giving them space when they need it while finding ways to build trust and keep them engaged. I’m also very active and love being outdoors, so I’m especially excited to take dogs on walks, hikes, adventures around the neighborhood, or to a park to play fetch and burn some energy. At the same time, I’m just as happy spending quiet time with a cat or a more relaxed pet. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, playful, independent, or needs a little extra patience, my goal is always the same to make them feel safe, comfortable, cared for, and genuinely happy while you’re away. I don’t just want to be their sitter I want to be someone they’re excited to see again. My current weekly routine is flexible and allows me to provide reliable, attentive care for pets. I work as a youth hockey coach, with practices or coaching responsibilities lasting approximately two and a half to three hours in the evening. I also work as a bar back three days a week. On those days, I typically do not need to be at work until 2:30 p.m., although my shifts usually end around midnight. Because of this schedule, I have availability during mornings, early afternoons, and on days when I am not working at the bar. I am able to plan pet care around my work commitments and make sure pets receive consistent attention, exercise, meals, and companionship. I understand that watching pets can affect my weekly routine, so I am careful to communicate clearly, organize my schedule in advance, and only accept bookings that I can fully commit to. I primarily provide pet care in the client’s home, where pets are already familiar with their surroundings and can maintain their normal routines. I believe this is the safest and most comfortable environment for most dogs and cats, especially when they are away from their owners. My home is relatively small, is not located in the most suitable area for walking pets, and does not have a fenced-in backyard, so I do not feel it would provide the best environment for boarding animals. Caring for pets in their own home allows me to give them individualized attention while keeping them in a familiar, secure setting. I am comfortable caring for both dogs and cats, as well as other household pets, depending on their specific needs and care instructions.

About: Hi! I'm Elena. While I am new to pet sitting on Rover, I have spent my whole life caring for animals as a go-to pet caregiver to many of my family and friends' dogs, cats, and even bearded dragon. Growing up around pets taught me the real daily dedication it takes to keep an animal happy, safe, and on schedule, from morning and evening feedings to medication routines and plenty of play. I treat every animal with the same patience, attention, and love I give my own. I specialize in drop-in visits and dog walks, making sure your pets get their vital potty breaks, fresh water, and midday love without breaking their comfort zone. I’m incredibly reliable, communicative, and punctual about following your exact daily instructions. I will always send you detailed updates and plenty of photos from each visit so you can feel completely at ease while you're away! I'm currently working part-time and in full-time online college classes, which gives me incredible flexibility to dedicate plenty of quality time for your pets! Because my schedule is very open, I am fully available for drop-in visits and walks every single weekend and Tuesday/Thursday. On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, I am completely free anytime after 10AM to pop in, handle feedings, stretch their legs, and give them lots of love and playtime. Safety and trust are my top priorities during every drop-in visit. When entering your home, I double-check that all doors and gates are securely closed behind me so your pet stays safe inside. I carefully follow your specific instructions for feeding, fresh water, and medication routines. I always use a secure leash on walks, keep a close eye on their surroundings, and will send you detailed photo updates from start to finish.

“Jessica gave my cats their medicine and hung out with them each evening when I was in Florida. Both the cats liked her, even my very shy cat. She passed zero judgement on my messy house. My cats felt safe with her and she did a great job! Highly recommend.”

About: I have dog-sat numerous times since I was 8-10 years old and it's a job I genuinely find joy in doing! I have ALWAYS been such dog lover. I have had dogs all of my life and I am capable of caring for any and all dogs. Animals have always been a passion and being able to walk dogs, care for animals, play with them, and provide cuddles and love is something of a dream. To be able to help people when they need it just adds to the experience. I have a lot of free time and I am so excited to be a helping hand to any and all! Since I have a fairly open schedule and I am a pretty active individual, daily walks or runs would definitely be something I could do with your pup! It would be better to base my services out of my clientele’s home! I live in an upstairs duplex as a rental, so I would have to pay the pet fee to be able to do it out of my home.

“She took great care of my cat, and is very nice!”

“Thank you Ricardo! Excellent service checking in on my dog.”

About: I have been caring for, and loving on, cats and dogs my whole life! From an early age friends and family have relied on me to give love and care to their furry family members. Booking me allows you to rest at ease knowing your valued family members will be cared for as if they were my own! I currently work a remote job with flexible hours during the work day. This leaves me plenty of time to care for your pet’s needs before, during, and after the work day! I firmly believe in consistency of care for my own pets including medication, exercise, and feedings. A happy pet is a healthy pet. I would be glad to extend the level of care to your pet by getting to know your pets needs and meeting those to the best of my availability.
