About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is the lifelong experience and genuine love I have for animals. I grew up in a home full of dogs and have always been surrounded by pets, learning early on how to care for them with patience and attention. Today, I have a dog and a cat of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your furry family members. I treat every pet like my own, with kindness, consistency, and a lot of love. Whether it's a walk, a drop-in visit, or just some extra playtime, I ensure your pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. As a teacher on summer break, I have a very open and flexible schedule, which means I’m available throughout the day to give your pets the attention and care they need. Whether it’s a morning walk, midday playtime, or an afternoon check-in, I’m able to provide consistent, dependable care. My background in teaching also means I’m organized, responsible, and great at following routines—qualities that translate well into attentive, loving pet care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their routine to help them feel safe and comfortable. I follow feeding schedules, provide fresh water, give walks or playtime, and make sure they get plenty of love and attention. I’m respectful of your home and any instructions you leave, whether it’s about medications, crate time, or favorite toys. If I were to offer care in my home, pets would have a calm, pet-friendly space and lots of companionship throughout the day. No matter the setting, I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel happy, secure, and loved while you're away.
“Natalee is very kind and conscientious, both to us and our pets. She takes great care of them, and they are always excited to see her!”

About: Over 12 years professionally caring for dogs, and I’ve owned them for 30 years. Professional dog groomer, nail care and light clipper clean ups available. I’m a professional pet groomer working to get my in-home grooming service going. In the meantime, I’m doing gig work, which means the most flexible schedule to make it work for you. Excellent at following instructions and communication. I believe in positive reinforcement training and responses to behavior. I’m extremely strong due to my job, and will have no problem handling any size dog with any behavior level. I am well versed in dog body language and psychology.
“Brenda did a PHENOMENAL job with Pablo :) this is my first time using Rover and I was a bit confused and anxious but Brenda helped me navigate SO smoothly. My dog Pablo gets along with everyone but I could tell from the photo she sent, he was SO happy and content :) I will absolutely be rebooking with her for Pablo’s future walkies”
About: I have been caring for all types of animals since I was 10 years old. From energetic puppies who need daily adventures to shy cats who crave quiet companionship, I’m here to keep your pets safe, happy, and well loved while you’re away. Do you own a pet that isn't a cat or dog? No problem! I have owned dogs, cats, hamsters, gerbils, frogs, geckos and fish! I am currently attending college to become a registered nurse. Starting September 29th, I will be available every Tuesday and Thursday until my classes change in January. Most weekends are free for me as well if you're away on vacation. I will be free during Thanksgiving. As for now, my availability is limited and accurate to what I have open on the app. I am working part time as a dental hygiene assistant, and attending college. I would love to provide care to your pet during the weekend, and limited week days! I'm willing to make my schedule fit yours. My top priorities are comfort, consistency, and connection. I follow your routine closely to ensure your pet experiences familiarity. I respect your space and pet's preferences. Whether they need a peaceful walk, a high energy play companion, or just someone to sit with them, I'm here for it all!
“Kali was great! She came ready and prepared. You can tell that she has been around dogs and is a natural. Mario fell in love with her instantly. I would hire Kali again in a heart beat!”
“Hannah was communicative, flexible, and kind! We appreciated her responsiveness, the cute lil photo of our pup, and how easy she was to work with!”
“I slept in our first walk and she came back later in the day to walk him. I was beyond great ful. My dog came back from his walks with a big pitbull smile all worn out. All around a good experience.”
“Hannah did a great job with our fairly high maintenance standard poodles. She won them over right away and asked great questions. She communicated well and we felt very comfortable having our babies in her care.”
“Joanna was fantastic with Maggie. Took her on nice long walks, had great picture updates, and thorough descriptions. I will certainly be using her for drop in walks again”
About: Cat and dog lover! I’ve owned and cared for cats and dogs for over 20 years! I love the outdoors and having a dog to explore it with. Walking is fun, but playing fetch in the backyard can be just as exciting! Belly rubs and treats (if mom or dad says so) are next in line for some of my favorite things to do. Sometimes spending time with animals can be more entertaining than other humans! Although fun and exercise are important, the safety and well-being of your pet is always my number one priority. I’m not looking to make this a full-time job, just looking to pet all the dogs. If you think I would be a good fit for your fur baby, send me a message! I’m currently very flexible with my schedule. I work Monday through Friday 9am to 4pm with a very understanding boss so I’m more than available to leave for a bathroom break at lunchtime. My girlfriend also works from home during the week and is able to help care for your pet, making sure they get plenty of walks, potty breaks, and playtime throughout the day. I have a fenced area and dog friendly apartment. Have plenty of space for a crate if needed. Love long walks and am located right near the lake loop!
