About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was a child, and I truly love dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I treat every pet as if they were my own, taking the time to get to know them, understand their needs, and build a trusting relationship. I have experience caring for puppies through senior dogs, including dogs with different routines, temperaments, and special needs. I’m also comfortable administering oral medications and using positive reinforcement to help pets feel safe, happy, and cared for. Because I work from home full-time and have a flexible schedule, I’m able to accommodate a variety of needs, including some last-minute requests. I also love walking and being outdoors, so I’m always happy to have a furry buddy join me. Over the years, I’ve been a trusted caretaker for many pets, giving owners peace of mind knowing their dogs are cared for, loved, and treated with patience and kindness while they’re away. I work from home with a very flexible schedule! Your dog can work with me at my home and will always have someone around to give them comfort. I have a fenced in yard and/or can crate your dog if needed. I have a yappy senior chihuahua, that is all bark, no bite.
“Rani is a sweet gal with a willing spirit. She was patient with my dog and successful with the walk (my dog was putting her head down and not wanting to go forward) It was the perfect midday break. Sweet Pea got a walk, human company and potty relief. I’m so glad we found Rani to help. I recommend her wholeheartedly”

About: Hi! I’m TJ (they/he) Since joining Rover in 2022, I’ve cared for a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, multi-pet households, and even a bearded dragon. I also have two cats of my own and regularly care for 3 dogs and 4 cats during the week, so pet care is already a big part of my everyday life. Through my experience, I’ve developed a thoughtful and adaptable approach to caring for pets with different personalities, comfort levels, and energy levels. Whether that means keeping up with feeding routines, fresh water, potty breaks, litter box care, playtime, treats, or helping a pet settle down and feel comfortable, I always try to adjust my care to each pet’s individual needs. I also have experience with overnight stays and caring for both dogs and cats in the same home. I pay close attention to behavior and routine, keep the environment clean and low-stress, and communicate with owners if anything comes up so I can care for their pets the way they prefer. I do work late nights most of the week, but I strive to keep my schedule as flexible as possible :) I approach every booking with the same care and dedication I’d want for my own pets, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. Please note that while my legal name appears on my profile, I prefer to go by TJ. I’m excited to meet your pets and provide them with personalized, dependable care! I always make sure to spend as much time with my pets as possible and take care of their needs to let them know they are loved:) I have two cats of my own, so I know how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and secure in their environment. Caring for them is part of my everyday routine, from feeding and fresh water to litter box care, attention, and making sure they feel at ease in their space. I’ve also been regularly caring for 3 dogs and 4 cats during the week since July 2025, so I understand the importance of following each pet’s routine carefully and providing dependable, attentive care while their owners are away.
About: ’ve been a cat owner for over 10 years, so I understand the importance of reliable, compassionate care. While this is my first time offering pet care on Rover, I have plenty of hands-on experience with feeding, playtime, and keeping pets comfortable and safe. As a college student, I’m responsible, organized, and flexible with my schedule. I’m especially good with cats and enjoy giving them the patience and attention they need, but I’m also happy to help with dog walking, drop-in visits, and general pet care. I’m a college student here in Ann Arbor so my main time commitment is classes, but I’m very flexible outside of this time. I have Fridays and weekends open, as well as some mornings and evening throughout the week. I keep pets safe and comfortable by sticking to their routines and giving them plenty of attention. In your home, I treat your pets like my own and make sure everything is left just as I found it.
About: I’ve had pets since I can remember. I am very comfortable with all animals. I have had dogs and cats with various medical needs so I am comfortable with all types of animal care. I also love walking and am more than willing to go as far as your pet wants! I am currently a stay at home mom, so my schedule is pretty open for when you would need me. I am available during the week and most weekends. Monday and Friday: available at any time Tuesday-Thursday: any time before 8am, or after 5pm I am comfortable with feeding, scooping litter, playing, taking outside, giving medication and I am able to handle any aspect of care your pet may need.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
