About: While I am newer to Rover, I have experience caring for pets for family, friends, and professors and have always loved animals. As a Certified Athletic Trainer, I am dependable, attentive, active, and committed to providing safe, compassionate care. With my active lifestyle as a collegiate swimmer for five years and my caring nature, I will make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you are away! Prior to starting my job at Wake Forest University, I am pretty much free until July and have a very flexible schedule! Outside of working out and spending time with my boyfriend, I can easily work around your schedule and give your pet the attention, care, and activity they deserve. I understand how important consistency is for pets, therefore following feeding schedules, walking routines instructions, and any specific care requests closely is important to me! I also value communication and love providing regular updates and photos so you can feel comfortable and confident while you are away!

About: Hello! I have 2 years of experience with dog walking + a handful of occasions where I have been trusted to pet-sit / board. I consider myself a loyal dog (and cat!) owner with a great work ethic. For the 2 years of dog walking, I walked a German Shepard — his name was Val. I walked Val consistently, in weather that ranged from 90-40 degrees Fahrenheit, up until his owner moved into a nursing home and Val was rehomed. I loved the big guy like he was my own dog - filling his water, scooping out his dog food, brushing him out, and playing fetch. I never missed a day I was scheduled unless there was a sudden change in plans (I was sick, she cancelled my walk, or an event took place where I couldn't arrive in time to walk him). Recently, my family has adopted our beloved goldendoodle puppy — Corduroy. I love him unconditionally, and so much of my free time is spent helping him get his energy out. I am a homeschooler, with all days free except for Wednesday evenings and Sunday mornings. For walking purposes, I am available any time it is not dark outside and not preoccupied. Please note that my price for drop-ins, overnight care, and dog walking vary by location. The closer you are, the cheaper it will be. Below is how I determine payment: 0-5 miles from my home and/or workplace = $40 per night / drop in / walk Every additional 0.5 mile is $1 I make sure everything is taken care of. From basic expectations to leaving the house exactly how I found it — if not better. If it’s not my house or my pet, then I’m obligated to go by my clients rules.

About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember! I’ve grown up with — and cared for — pets of all shapes and sizes, from dogs and cats to fish, birds, horses, rodents, and even reptiles. No matter who your furry (or scaly!) family member is, I’m excited to give them the same love and attention I give my own. Pet care is already a natural part of my day. I take care of my cat every morning and evening—making sure she has fresh water, the right amount of food, a clean litter box, and plenty of playtime. Since I’m already in a daily rhythm of caring for pets, adding walks or drop-ins fits easily and naturally into my routine. At home, my kitten is always the first one to greet me at the door, so I make sure she gets attention and reassurance right away. I keep her routine consistent—fresh food and water, a clean litter box, and lots of playtime and affection. When caring for a client’s pets, I’m very mindful of their established routines. I follow feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, and any special instructions exactly as given. I want every pet to feel comfortable and secure, so I do my best to maintain the rhythm they’re used to. Whether it’s my home or yours, my priority is making sure pets feel safe, understood, and well cared for.

About: I don’t just care for your pets, I strive to make them see me as part of the family! Also love to clean, so you know you will return to your house with it being just as clean as you left it. Ample training with young pups as well as caring for older animals. I work a job where I make my own hours, so I can fit whatever requirements into my schedule. No need to worry about long stretches without your loved one being checked on! Multiple walks are given each day (depending on their needs), with the option to run with them if they are high-energy dogs. All for the cuddles and playing inside for those that need either or both instead!

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was in preschool. My family has always had lots of pets throughout the house all through my childhood! I have lots of experience in giving baths, medicine, lots of cuddles and care! I will be sending plenty of pictures so you can see what your pet is up to at all times! I am currently working for myself while also working from home. This gives me all the time in the world to be just as attentive as you would be to your fur baby! I currently live in a nice neighborhood with plenty of grassy areas for potty breaks and open space for walks/jogs. My house is large enough to keep small dogs and larger dogs separated to ensure there are no accidents.

About: I've had pets my entire life and currently have a 12 year old pup who we love! Love taking care of animals and will make sure they get the attention they deserve! I work full time but have the summers off! Would have plenty of time to care for your pet and give lots of attention! Daily walks or overnight, my schedule is flexible to help! We do not crate our dog at home so I do not have a crate. I usually take dogs for long walks or I'm available to pick them up and walk them! Our dog is friendly with other dogs, but is older so doesn't have a ton of energy for play!

Laura has been wonderful with walking my rather high maintenance pups. I don't know how I would have made it through the holidays without her help. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable and flexible. She always takes the time to show my babies special love and affection and that has meant the world to me. Thank you Laura!

About: I've taken care of pets since I was 12! Friends and neighbors have relied on me to petsit, and my family has owned dogs or cats (and others!) longer than I can remember. I love making friends with new pets and helping them have the fun, exercise, and companionship they need while you're away :) I'm taking a few classes at college, so right now I have a very flexible schedule to love on your pets as much as needed! I have my own vehicle and I'm happy to do whatever I can to make your pets comfortable while you're away! My friends describe me as sweet, grounded, and active, so I'm happy and willing to follow the directions you have for your precious pets, and I'll always treat them with genuine care. I'll make sure they have only the best experience!!
