Nicholas was wonderful with my dog, who can be skittish with new people. He came for a meet and greet, and was very communicative throughout the week. He even cleaned my stairs as there was inclement weather! I highly recommend.

About: Hello pet parents! My name is Val. I have been working with pets since I was 16 years old. I started in a dog/cat boarding facility and now I’m a part time Vet Tech at a pet hospital . I have lots of experience with feeding schedules, long and safe walks, bathing, trimming nails, and giving lots and lots of love. I’m also CPR certified to be prepared if the unexpected happens. I will take care of your furry friends as if they were my own 🫶🏻 I’m currently working part-time in a pet hospital. Usually I’m there 2-3 days a week, which usually change every week. I have plenty of days off where I can take care of your babies. I’m pretty sure I can accommodate myself to your schedule to make everything easier for your pets. I will give lots of pets to your pawsome babies. I can also bathe them if wanted. And I will give them lots and lots of love.

About: As a speech therapist for 10 months out of the year, I primarily work with children and enjoy spending summers outdoors with my own dog, Cooper. I have 10 years of experience pet sitting and dog walking, through Rover as well as for friends and neighbors. I am comfortable maintaining your dog’s training and walking routines to ensure safe, fun walks together! (Cooper will stay at home, he is a whole lot of 100 lbs and receives his own walks. He does not resource guard and has never been a bite risk). I’m looking to dog walk and/or dog sit in the summer, when I am off from my public school job. This would be during the months of July and August, but depending on the hour I can be available before July (after 4:30 pm). During the summer I have a very flexible schedule. I have a fenced in yard and a split level home. I can keep our dogs separate or introduce them depending on your preference and whether they can acclimate (Cooper is a big boy but docile and friendly).

Madison has been walking Jake, our very active, 60lb collie/heeler mix, for a few weeks now and we are delighted we found her on Rover. She is very dependable and obviously experienced with energetic dogs. Jake loves her, he watches out the window at walk time and charges to the door as soon as he sees Madison coming! We would definitely recommend Madison.

About: I have always been an animal lover and have many years of experience. I grew up with dogs, my first dog was a boxer and I currently have two boxer pitbull mixes, and love spending time with animals. I have been dog sitting and waking for five years and love spending time with animals. My dream is to own an animal rescue and want to help as many dogs as possible along the way to achieving my dream. I am currently working part time as I study to become a personal trainer so I have many hours available, and am very flexible to the needs of the animal and owner. I always put the safety and security of the animal first and want the owner to feel comfortable so will follow any preferences and directions of the owner.

About: Fourteen years of taking care of small to large dogs. I own a 100lb Australian Shepherd lab mix. I can walk, run, visit with them and will ensure their happiness and safety is number one priority. If they have specific dieting or exercise needs, please let me know. I’m available 7 days a week and do this as my full time job so will like repeat visits. I’ve been very helpful in walking much larger dogs too and can lift them if needed. If your pet has a handicap I’m very careful to their needs and can work with them however you need. I have a cart too that I bring on walks for dogs that are recovering or have an injury so they can still enjoy the outdoors or move around.

About: I’ve spent years caring for dogs and cats of all personalities, and I treat every pet like they’re part of my own little fur-family. With 6+ years of dog experience and over 20 years of cat care, I’m confident, calm, and totally in tune with what pets need to feel happy and safe. I’ve owned 7+ cats over the years, cared for many pups, and even handled medication and special routines. Friends and neighbors have trusted me for ages to feed, walk, play, cuddle, and keep their pets smiling while they’re away. I’m gentle, reliable, and always focused on giving your pets the love and attention they deserve.Lots of tail wags and purrs guaranteed. Pet care fits naturally into my day because I’m a stay-at-home parent with a very flexible schedule. I’m home often, which makes it easy for me to plan walks, drop-in visits, feeding times, and play sessions around your pet’s needs. Your pet’s comfort and safety come first in my home. I have a fully fenced-in yard for safe outdoor play and plenty of space to explore. Inside, I use gates throughout the house to keep pets out of trouble and create a calm, manageable environment. If your pet is used to structure, I can crate them as needed to keep their routine consistent. I also have two playful, friendly dogs who love making new friends and can keep your pup company—whether they enjoy gentle play or just having a buddy nearby. My goal is to make your pet feel at home, loved, and totally comfortable during their stay.
