“Jeana was amazing with my fur babies! They greeted her at the door and were super excited for their walks and getting fresh air. She followed direction effectively and even helped out when one my plants fell over. She was very communicative and reached out when she had questions to make sure she had solutions for anything that may come up. Definitely happy with Jeana and trust her with my pups wholeheartedly! Highly recommend!”
“Matt is a great walker for Nala. He is able to work with dogs who have anxiety and provides positive encouragement for Nala. In time, Nala has come to enjoy their walks together and now she speeds through them. Thank you, Matt, for everything!”
About: I have taken care of a variety of animals throughout my life. I showed farm animals in my youth and always had plenty of dogs at home. I love the puppy and young adult stage in dogs, and have a major soft spot for the old timers. I currently have a two beagles and we spend lots of time playing and walking outside. I work a full time job, but work from home often. Depending on the week, I can be available for some combination of evening, lunch, and morning check ins/walks. Sundays are available as well for similar services. I am a big believer in the letter of the law when it comes to caring for a pet in your home or on a walk. I want to be able to deliver maximum peace of mind for you and your pooch. If you have any concerns about anxiety, let me know and I can make sure that we are on the same page about ways to combat it.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life, especially cats and dogs. I grew up in a home with multiple pets, so caring for them has always been second nature to me. I’ve owned both cats and dogs since childhood and have experience with all kinds of personalities, from playful and energetic to shy, senior, and everything in between. I’ve also fostered several cats, helping them transition from rescue situations into safe, loving temporary homes until they were adopted. Fostering gave me hands-on experience with anxious or timid cats, slow introductions, building trust, and creating a calm, stress-free environment. I’m very comfortable with feeding routines, enrichment, litter box care, medication reminders (non-injection), and understanding feline body language. In addition to personal ownership and fostering, I’ve completed many pet-sitting and house-sitting jobs, including several where I assisted my girlfriend in caring for multiple cats and dogs at once. I’ve worked with high-energy dogs who need long walks, older dogs who need a slower pace, and cats who simply want playtime, quiet company, or gentle attention. I also care for a group of pets on a recurring schedule, building trust and long-term relationships with their families. No matter the pet’s personality, energetic, shy, cuddly, or independent, I adapt to their needs. I genuinely love animals and treat every pet as if they were my own, always prioritizing patience, gentleness, safety, and clear communication. And as a professional photographer, you can expect great photo updates of your pets while you’re away. My goal is to make your pets feel safe, comfortable, and well-loved every moment you’re gone. I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time to caring for pets. I work as a musician and professional photographer, so my hours aren’t tied to a traditional 9–5 job. Most of my work is project-based, meaning I can easily adjust my day around pet-sitting visits, walks, and house-sitting needs. Because of this flexibility, I’m able to give pets attention throughout the day, whether that means morning walks, mid-day check-ins, feeding schedules, or long play sessions. I’m also home often when editing photos or working on music, which makes me a great fit for pets who enjoy company and a calm, steady presence. My routine is perfect for dogs and cats who need frequent interaction, scheduled feeding times, or just someone who can be there reliably throughout the day. Your pet’s needs can easily fit into my daily flow, and I’m always happy to adjust my schedule around what works best for them. When caring for pets, either in their home or just walking them, my top priorities are always safety, consistency, and trust. In Your Home: I follow your routines exactly to keep your pets feeling secure and comfortable. That includes their feeding schedule, walk times, preferred toys, and any house rules you’ve established. I make sure doors are locked, gates are secured, and that your pet never has access to anything unsafe or stressful. I always respect your home as if it were my own, which is clean, organized, and exactly how you left it. Keeping Pets Safe: I take extra care with leashes, harnesses, and doorways to prevent escapes or scares. I also pay attention to your pet’s body language and comfort level, especially with shy or anxious pets. I never introduce pets to new animals, environments, or people unless you request it. Clean, Calm Environment: I maintain a calm, relaxed atmosphere when I’m with your pets, especially important for cats, seniors, and nervous animals. I keep litter boxes clean, water bowls fresh, and make sure your pet has their favorite spots available and stress-free. For dogs, I make walks safe and enjoyable, always avoiding risky areas or unfamiliar dogs. Communication & Transparency: I send regular updates, photos, and videos so you know exactly how your pet is doing. As a professional photographer, you’ll get high-quality pictures that give you peace of mind and a clear look at your pet’s day. Respect for Your Home: If I’m house-sitting, I keep everything tidy, follow your instructions closely, and make sure your home is secure. Lights, blinds, doors, and alarms are all handled according to your preferences. No matter the situation, I treat every pet with gentleness and patience and treat every home with the utmost respect. My goal is for you to feel completely confident that your pet is safe, loved, and well cared for in your absence.

Kaitlyn is amazing! My first time booking with Rover was with Kaitlyn and she really made a great impression. She was very flexible with adding on walks, meeting with me and pup prior to my trip, and she went above and beyond helping with giving my cat her meds as well! My pets absolutely love her and I’m so grateful for her assistance while I was gone. I definitely recommend!
