“Kaitlin is fantastic! She’s been looking after Loki our GSD since he was 4 months and now checks in once a day when I’m at the office to give him lovin’s and take him on a walk. She is also incredibly knowledgeable and is a great resource for new pet parents!”

About: I’m a local mom of two boys and a lifelong animal lover, and I’d love to help care for your pets like they’re part of our family. I know how stressful it can be to leave your pet—whether it’s for a quick trip or a longer vacation—so my goal is to make sure you feel completely at ease. I provide dependable, calm, and attentive care, with lots of updates so you always know how your pet is doing. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I’m home most days and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to plan my day around the pets I’m caring for. I’m able to provide consistent visits, walks, feeding, and attention throughout the day, and I make sure each pet stays on their normal routine as much as possible. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening care, I build it into my schedule so pets feel comfortable and cared for. Because I’m not overbooked, I’m able to give each pet my full attention and make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for. I always tailor my care to each pet’s routine and personality so they feel as comfortable as possible. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping things consistent - feeding, walks, playtime, and rest all follow their normal schedule. I spend quality time with each pet so they don’t feel rushed or alone, and I’m careful to keep the home clean and secure. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is doing well.

“I believe Maria is absolutely wonderful and has a genuine interest in the well being of my pet Hershey! I enjoy hearing her updates and shared reports on how Hershey is doing. She is detailed in that and excellent with communication and getting back to you. I would highly recommend!”

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and currently have a 13-year-old dog, so I understand the care, patience, and attention they need at every stage. I also worked as a Canine Coach in a professional dog daycare, where I supervised group play, monitored behavior, and ensured the safety of multiple dogs at once. Through both personal and professional experience, I’ve developed a strong ability to read dog body language, stay calm in different situations, and create a safe, positive environment. I treat every dog like my own, whether that means matching a high-energy pup or providing extra care for older dogs. I prioritize consistency, clear communication, and attentive care so pet parents feel confident and at ease. I currently have a flexible schedule and am available at a variety of times, including daytime, evenings, and weekends, which allows me to provide consistent and attentive care. As I pursue a future full-time Monday–Friday position, I plan to continue pet care with a strong focus on evening and weekend availability, while still offering additional flexibility when possible. I’m committed to being reliable, communicative, and maintaining consistent, high-quality care so both you and your pet feel comfortable and confident. For dog walking and drop-in visits, I focus on providing attentive, individualized care tailored to each pet’s needs and routine. During walks, I prioritize safety, proper leash handling, and making sure dogs get both physical activity and mental stimulation at a pace that suits them. For drop-in visits, I ensure pets are well cared for by refreshing food and water, providing playtime or enrichment, and giving them attention and companionship. I also carefully monitor behavior, energy levels, and overall well-being during each visit, and I always respect the pet’s routine and the owner’s instructions. I make sure to communicate clearly with pet parents, including updates and photos if desired, so they feel confident and connected while they’re away.

“Julie was great with Kepper.  She did a meet-n-greet with us before our scheduled booking and Kepper loved her! Julie took notes as we spoke and she got to know Kepper, and I was confident that she would take good care of her. She sent lots of pictures and a nice note with each Rover card, so I always knew how things were going. Kepper was always excited to see Julie. I'll definitely be booking with Julie again!”

My schedule is highly flexible, making it easy to fit dedicated pet care into my daily and weekly routine.

When caring for pets in a client's home, safety and respect are my highest priorities. I make it a point to strictly follow the owner's established routines, ensuring doors and gates are always securely locked and the environment remains clean and hazard-free. Because I focus on clear communication and being exceptionally reliable, I keep owners updated so they have total peace of mind. Whether I am house-sitting, popping in for a feeding, or going on a walk, I provide a calm, attentive, and secure presence so every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well-loved in their own home.

About: I am a 2nd year Veterinary Student at Ohio State College of Veterinary Medicine!! I am detail oriented and compassionate about animal care. I have previous experience working at a dog kennel, small animal clinic, and animal shelters! While I am new to Rover, I have dog and cat sat for many families over the last several years and have several repeat clients❤️🐶 I have a few trips planned this summer, but when I am home I look forward to taking care of your animal!

About: I have taken care of coaches dogs, teachers dogs, and neighbors animals too. I have supplement and medication experience for dogs and especially coaxing them to take it. :) Having 7 dogs teaches you some stuff. I take care of animals everyday due to the fact that I have so many dogs. It’s daily for me so it comes naturally to take care of a dog. Additionally I have had cats so I do know how to take care of cats. I make sure when in my clients home that the dogs or cats are well played with, exercised, and fed. My main goal is to make sure that the pet is okay and no accidents or pieces of special items to you don’t get eaten or chewed on. ;)

About: I've had a dog in my home since I was born, having 7 different dogs in my home over my lifetime. For the first time in 32 years, I have no dog in my home, because I'm living with my sister and can't get one of my very own, but I have lots of doggie love to share with your pups! Im currently unemployed and lost my most recent dog last year, I'm not quite ready to take the plunge and get a dog yet, but I miss having a pup around and have a lot of doggie loving to give. I promise to treat your dogs with the utmost care, and like they were a member of my own family. I'll keep them safe and happy until you can be reunited.

About: I have been taking care of dogs since was 12! I used to check dogs in the neighborhood! I’ve even stayed at a house for two weeks taking care of two dogs one extremely geriatric. I am good with giving medication to dogs, getting them a daily walk, making sure they have frequent potty breaks, and a whole lot of belly rubs!! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already care for my own dog every day. I’m used to walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and giving pets lots of attention and affection. I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. In my home or a client’s home, I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding, potty breaks, medication, exercise, and routines. I always prioritize safety, cleanliness, and creating a calm, trustworthy environment where pets can feel relaxed and cared for.
