About: I have spent my entire life surrounded by animals. I have taken care of not only my own but other peoples pets for many years now. I have worked in the veterinary medical field for the last 8 years and have experience in pet first aid and trauma response. I have just finished clinical rotations and currently have a pretty flexible schedule and am available 7 days a week to help take care of your pet. I am comfortable working with any breed or size pet. I have plenty of experience with basic pet care and medication administration. I will provide plenty of updates on how your pet is doing, and will treat them as I would my own pets.
About: I've taken care of a wide variety of animals for years! It is an absolute joy to give pets the love and attention they deserve. I'm a student but have much free time on the weekdays and weekends. Summer is fast approaching, and then I will have incredible flexible availability. I love to be active and play/go on walks. I will also meet the individual needs of each pet while maintaining a clean and safe home.

About: Hello! My name is Robert. I hope you will consider hiring me to walk your dog because I love dogs very much and understand the importance of taking good care of a dog. Throughout my whole life, I have always had at least one dog – they are such an essential part of who I am. In many years of walking my own dogs nearly every day, I have come to understand how to be gentle with each individual dog and be patient with their needs. Definitely reach out and let me give your dog some exercise so he/she can return home calm and happy! I understand personally the value a dog provides and I would provide your dog with the best level of care. I have time for drop by visits or for walks! Just let me know what you need and we will arrange the best care for your dog. I have experience with puppies, elderly dogs, dogs who need medication, dogs with anxiety, all types of dogs. I provide the best care for what they need.
“Andrew is so great with our lab puppy Morgan. He is reliable and communicative and takes her on nice long walks. She is always excited to see him. You can tell that he is a true dog lover.”
“Donna and her partner, Steven, are a great team. They took good care with our little guy, who is 14 and a little deaf and losing his eyesight. They are very kind and trustworthy and will use them again.”
About: I have had the privilege of taking care of cats and dogs for most of my life. In addition, to caring for my own dogs, my friends and neighbors have consistently relied on me to walk, feed, and bath their pets. I also used to work part-time as a dog groomer. I am typically available in the evening and all-day on weekends. I also work from home two days a week, so I can easily care for your pet during the work day. For dogs, I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your furry friend company if they are interested. My home also has 4 furnished floors, so pets can easily be separated if needed. I am also available to go to clients’ homes for longer pet sitting or short drop-ins.
About: I have basic skills in pet caring such as bathing, grooming, nail trimming, teeth brushing, feeding, playing. If your pet needs to take meds I'll make sure it gets done. I can adjust to your pets liking, whether it's that they like to be touched and would like to play around or would rather be left alone, I can do it. Whether they're younger or older, patience is always a key thing to have with any pet. At the same time, each pet has their own personality and it's important to take notice of it and know how to treat them. I have the belief that a pet is also a member of the family, which is precisely how they'll be treated in my home. Happy pet, happy life :) I work from home, living with my own fur baby and have plenty of love and time to go around to help care for your own fur baby/babies ❤️ I have a fenced in yard with a beautiful tree and plenty of space to run around and have fun in. My home can easily accommodate for cats having plenty of windows and ledges for sunbathing at any time. If interested there is plenty of couch space to snuggle up on
“Anna is amazing! She has been walking our pup every day for the past few months. Anna not only walks Charlie but actually spends time playing with him and training him - she even taught him the paw command! Anna sends very detailed reports and lots of cute pictures after every walk. Being first time puppy owners we feel so lucky to have Anna looking after our pup!”

Elaine S.
“Elaine is fantastic! I haven’t used the Rover app before, but Elaine has walked and taken care of my two dogs several times over the past few years. She goes above and beyond to make sure they are comfortable. One of my dogs used to have separation anxiety and struggled to sleep when the family was away on vacation. Elaine would play calming music and sit with him until he calmed down and fell asleep. He now loves her and doesn’t get stressed when we’re gone. Elaine is also great about sending updates and locking up the house.”
