Jared and Karen are excellent with Wally. Wally already loves them and looks forward to his daily walks. Both Jared and Karen are huge animal lovers and it shows. I feel very comfortable with them walking Wally because I know they take great care of him.

About: Hi, I'm Robyn, a lifelong animal lover with over 10 years of trusted experience caring for dogs & cats of all breeds, ages, and personalities. I've grown up with a variety of animals my entire life (cats, dogs, guinea pigs, turtles, mice). For the past decade, I've been the go to pet sitter and dog walker for family and friends. Whether it’s high energy pups or senior cats who just want some company, I treat every pet like my own with patience, love, and attention to their unique needs. Before I was old enough to work, I spent time volunteering at a local animal shelter during my teen years. It gave me early hands on experience caring for animals with all kinds of personalities and needs, and helped shape my lifelong love and respect for animals. Right now, I share my home with a 5 year old beagle named Scout who I’ve raised since he was a puppy. Whether you're looking for reliable walks, drop ins, or overnight care, you can count on me to keep your pet safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I send regular updates and photos, and I always follow your care instructions to the letter. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! As a stay at home mom, I'm home and active throughout the day, which allows me to easily fit pet care into my regular routine. I'm available for walks and visits from 9am-2pm during the week, and I have full day availability on Sunday. I'm used to planning my days around care and routines, so incorporating pet care feels like a natural fit. Whether it's a morning walk to start the day, a dinner time drop in, or extended weekend care, I make sure every pet gets the time, attention, and consistency they deserve. When caring for pets in their own home, I always follow the pet parent's instructions closely to ensure consistency and comfort for their pet. I'm very detail oriented and make sure routines, feeding, medications, and preferences are followed exactly as requested. I also let the pet guide the pace of our interactions whether that means playtime, cuddles, or simply being a calm, reassuring presence. My goal is to make them feel safe, respected, and as relaxed as possible while you're away

About: I’ve lived with animals of all sizes since before I could walk. I love meeting new anims everywhere I go and do my best to understand and respect them. I see pets as family members, and believe they should be treated as such. My schedule is currently very flexible, and I have plenty of availability throughout the week. I will keep my calendar updated and communicate promptly about any scheduling changes. I believe pets are happiest when their routines stay consistent. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, respect your home, and make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. Pets are family, too. I’m happy to provide updates and photos during visits so you know how they’re doing. I’m very comfortable with both cats and dogs and have experience with pets of all sizes.

About: I’ve had pets of all species, shapes, and sizes. I love taking care of pets, hanging out with them, and ensuring they’re safe and comfortable. I have a dog of my own and have done well training him. I’ve had dogs since I was five and deeply enjoyed taking care of them. I have cared for family member’s cats and dogs and I also have experience with some reptiles and rodents. I’ve even helped stray dogs throughout my life, managing to make them feel safe with me until an owner was found. I’m good at gaging an animal’s individual personality and acting accordingly. Shy? I am patient and gentle. Outgoing? I am ready to play. Your pet mainly likes privacy and naps? I’ll respect their space. I love animals and would love to care for yours when you need it! I’m working part time, which allows me plenty of time in the morning and afternoon to help care for your pet! I’m available from about 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesday-Saturday and after 8 p.m. I am free all day on Sundays and Mondays. I will notify if there are any days/times that I become unavailable. I have a friendly dog of my own who would love to play and keep your dog company, if needed. I have also cared for dogs, cats, and even reptiles and rodents, since I was a kid. I am gentle, patient, and fearless when it comes to animals. I will give the utmost love and care to your pet!

About: I am an ANIMAL LOVER! My name is May Fredericks, I’m 22 and a student at King’s College preparing to begin grad school soon. I major in environmental science and chemistry, and I hope to become a scientific diver working with marine life or in wildlife rehabilitation. To me, animals are the ultimate example of unconditional love and teach us humans more lessons than we realize. That’s why caring for them means so much to me. I always do my absolute best to give pets the same love, patience, and attention they give us. I am a full time student at King’s college. Most days I have class from 11am - 2 pm. Tuesdays are my long days. I am in class from 12:30pm- 5 pm. But I’m available all day during weekends and holidays!! I have a fenced yard and my neighborhood is quiet, safe, and friendly. I don’t usually board pets in my home, but I am open to it.

Daniela was great with my dog Fetty. She came to meet her before I left on my trip so that Fetty knew her and was comfortable. I’m away a few times every year and Daniela will be my first choice to take care of Fetty.

About: I was raised around all kinds of animals, and have cared for cats, dogs, snakes, and rabbits. I love them all unconditionally and believe they should be raised to know full bellies, warm cozy nights, and endless love. I have experience working as a groomers assistant and a kennel attendant professionally for about 3 years as well, so I know how to handle special needs ranging from anxiety to aggression. I also understand what it's like to be tight on funds, and the need to budget tightly in order to properly care for your furry friends! If my Rover prices are too high for your budget, shoot me a message and I can help you stay in your range! I'm flexible, especially since all pets are different and require different amounts of work! I'm currently transitioning into working a typical full time job, so my once very wide open schedule has slimmed down a lot. I can best typically do check ins and walks in the early morning and in the evening. I'm assuming that I'll be doing a typical 9 to 5, so anything before 9am or after 5pm is within reach for me to make sure your pets are well cared for and loved while you're away. ❤️ You can reach out to me with any schedule questions and I can try to work something out with you! I always do my very best to be as gentle as possible with all pets! I tend to avoid using "alpha" proving tactics unless it is necessary for my or your pets safety (ex. scruffing, using chokers tightly, using the shock option over the buzz option on an electric collar). I see these options as only being necessary when the pet is acceptionally aggressive and may hurt myself, itself, or others. I'm also very cautious around doors as I know many pets would take the opportunity to bolt it into the street if they could. I can handle bruises and scratches well from excited pets! I'm usually always covered in them from my own fur babies.

The sweetest person I've met and my pup loves he so much couldn't ask for a better person to watch him when I wasn't able to. Very attentive when feeding and walking him at the times needed. Will definitely use her again when needed.

About: I have taken care of animals since childhood. I have taken care of dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, fancy mice, african soft furred rats, small birds, aquatic turtles, fresh water fish, and ball pythons. I have known since childhood that I wanted to care for animals. During childhood I spent my free time volunteering at my local animal shelter. Helping clean animal pens and crates. During high school I volunteered at my local animal hospital as well as the local emergency animal hospital. As of recently I have been volunteering at a senior dog rescue. I love being able to help animals and I can’t wait to help care for your furbaby(ies). I currently am a stay at home pet parent and am looking to fill my free time with more animals. Plus I love to go hiking and always find it better to with a furry companion. My yard is unfenced but I enjoyed taking my dog on as many walks she wants. Sadly I can’t host pets at my house because my cats are wary about new dogs. But I love taking dogs on nice long walks so they can stretch their legs.

About: I have three doggies of my own and I love them with all my heart. I have experience walking feeding and playing with my own dogs as well as neighbors and friends dogs. I’m also comfortable with baths and distributing medications. I trained both of my dogs when they were puppies so if I’m watching a puppy and you need me to practice some simple tricks with him/her I’m able to do that for you. I work full time 9-5 so I am available for early morning walks and evening visits!! I am always available Saturdays and Sundays after church! I’m very vigilant when letting dogs outside even if a client has a fenced in yard. If there’s no fence I will take the dogs out on a leash. I have a good memory and I write important things down, especially special instructions you may have for me to take care of your furry friend. For boarding: I currently live in a small apartment in a city apartment building, but there are plenty of nearby outdoor options for dogs. There are sidewalks all around the building for regular walks, a grassy area directly across the street, and a small patch of grass behind the building for quick potty breaks. Kirby Park is also right across the street, which is perfect for longer walks, fresh air, and exercise in a safe, open space. There are no animals living with me currently and I will only board one dog at a time, unless they come from the same family!
